the total trade was $635,840,681, an in-

Imports from Germany were $8,049,884
and exports $1,872,659.
A country whose bnsinoee is increas•
ing at the rate of $55,000,000 a year
must be well governed. In the very na-
ture of things it is self-evident that the
material interests of the people are be.
ing carefully protected. This is the
direct result of the practical application
of the polioy inaugurated by the govern-
ment of Sir Wilfrid Laurier, a govern.
meat which plaoe hunting Conserva-
tives in the House would wish to re-
place with one of their own. They
seek to obtain their object, not by giv
tug the people something better, but
by a wholesale system of villifieation
without reason, evidence or jastifioation.
During the last license year the num-
ber of tavern, shop, and wholesale liquor
licenses was reduced by 198 The Hon
W. J Hanna, in the annual report of
the Liquor License Department, which
was laid on the table of the Legislature
Friday, atates that the employment of a
s?eeial staff of officers to enforce the net
thronghont the Province has resulted in
the more strict observance of the law by
licences, and as a consequence fewer
prasecntions were necessary. In looal
option municipalities, the report claims,
tae law was vigorously enforced, and
$1,175 was collected is fines. The rev-
enue from the license branch for the
financial year was $587,126 60. The
total amount colleoted on account of
licenses and fines, including the sums
imposed by municipal by•Iaws, was
$931,652.86, an increase, compared with
the previous year, of $333,839 42. Of the
total amount collected $411,9.6 71 went
to the municipalities. Daring the year
4,774persone were committed fordrunk-
enuees, as compared with 4,216 in the
previous year. Since 1876 the number
of convictions for this class of offence
has increased by practically a thousand.

Farmers' Institute Meetings.
A series of supplementary meetings
of the West Huron Farmers' Institute
was commenced at Londeaboro' on
Thursday, Feb, 13th and conolnded
Wednesday, Feb. 19th at St. Helens.
The visiting delegates were Gavin Bar-
bour, of Orosshill, Miss Isabel Rife, of
Hespeler. Mr• Barbour's subjects were
"Draught Horses and How to Raise
Them " "The Beefsteak Steer." "Cul-
tivation and Manure," and "Farmers
and Their Sons." Mies Rife in the after
noons addressed separate meetings of
adies, encouraging the formation of
branches of the Women's Institute
and talking on subjects of special in-
terest to women. At the various even-
ing meetings her addresses were "The
Hygiene of Cheerfulness," "Education
for Young People," and "The Home in
its Attitude to the School." The ad-
dressee of both delegates were interest-
ing and instructive, and it was unfor-
tunate that the state of the roads mater-
ially lessened the attendance at the
meetings. At the Hohnesville meeting
Mrs. Rntman, of Clinton, gave an
address on "A Library for the Home."
An address by Geo. Fothergill, of East
Wawapoeh, on "Co operation among
Fruit growers," was a good feature of
the St Augustine meeting on Monday.
At Dangaunon on Tuesday H J. Morris,
of Loyal, gave some good pointers in an
address on "Selecting a Dairy Cow."
and at the evening meeting a splendid
address on "Canadian Citizenship"
was delivered by R. D. Cameron, of
Lneknow. R. M. Young, president of
the Institute, and Wm. Bailie, secre-
tary, also contributed much to the
success of the meetings.
Eaoh day provides additional evidence
of the unfitness of the Conservative
party to govern the country. The party
has no aim, no ambition, no knowledge
outside s•.andal. Be it ill tho House or
in any of the committees, every effort is
directed to make an honest transaction
appear a dishonest one, and to stigma-
tize all thoee w ho have dealings with the
Government, as oorrnpt persona. The
people of Canada will judge the Liberal
Government first by their polioy, and
seoond by their administration of it.
That the enlightened polioy of the Liber-
al Government has received the endorse•
went of the electors is abundantly
proved by the result of the by-elections
That the admini,tration of publio affairs
warrants a continntnoe of public con•
fidence is attested by the fact that, with
every facility given for fall and im-
partial investigation, nothing has trans-
pired in the Public Accounts Committee
(a committee which examines into all

Pink Pills -
Women arp called the "weaker sex,"
and yet nature calls upon them to
bear far more pain Lhau men. With
too many women it is one long mar-
tyrdom from the time they are bedding
into womanhood, until age begins to
set Pte mark upon them. They are no
sooner over one period of pain and die -
tress than another looms up only a few
days ahead of them. No wonder so
many women become worn out and old
looking before their time.
Ia these times of trial Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills are worth their weight in
gold to women. They aotually make
uew, rich blood, and on the richness
and regularity of the blood the health
of every girl and every woman depends.
Mrs. Urbane 0. Webber, Welland,
Ont., is one of the many women who
owe pre-eut health and strength to
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Mrs, Web-
ber says:—"About three years ago,
while living in Hamilton, my health
began to deoline. The first symptoms
were i^eadaohes and general weakness.
After a time the trouble increased so
rapidly that I was unable to attend to
my household duties. I lost fle
ed bloodless and had freque
fits. I was constantly do
without any benefit, nd
that my condition
day a friend asked
Dr. Williams' Pink
several oases in which she know of the
great benefit that followed their use.
After some urging 1 deoided to try the
pills, and had only used them a few
weeks when I began to feel benefited,
and from that time on the improvement
was steady, and by the time I had used
about a dozen boxes of the pills I was
again enjoying the blessing of good
health. I cannot too strongly urze
other discouraged sufferers to give Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills a fair trial."
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills will cure all
troubles due to poor, watery blood, such
as anaemia, general weakness, indiges-
tion, neuralgia, skin troubles. rheuma-
tism, the after effects of la grippe, and
such nervous troubles as St. Vines dance

NEWS NOTES.
Will the members and adherents of
the Baptist Church, and any others who
have received copies of the Topic Cards
announoing the Sunday Service's please
notice that under the heading of Church
Officers on page four there ara two mis-
takes which need correction. The first
is the omission of the name of Mr. Geo.
Pocock from the list of Deacons. This
error 000ured through tho names beiug
copied from the last printed financial
statement on which only the names of
the officers for 1906 appear. Mr. Pocock
was elected at the annual meeting in
1907, and is now a Deacon. The second
mistake is in the name of the Bible
Class Teacher. It appears that a few
weeks ago a number of names were
added to the teaching staff as substitute
teachers to act in the absence of the
regular teachers. Dr. Hibner was one
who kindly consented to act in this
capacity, and was so appointed. Mr.
W. D. Pringle has for some time been
the capa':le and popular regular teacher
of the class, and remains so yet. The
mistake was made by the pastor of the
Church, who wee not present at the
appointment of Dr. Hibner to the list of
substitute teachers and who misunder-
stood the information afterwards given
him.

*Ave stock markets.
Toronto, Feb, 25th—While prices
were practically unchanged at the Olty
Cattle Market today, there was more
deliberation on the part of buyers, and
a feeling that, with a steady ran of re•
ceipts, as now seems probable in view
of the milder weather, price will be
easier before very long, and poasibly
within this week Ire the export class,
except for anything very ohoioe, there is
a very sluggish demand, and prices are
decidedly easier, though not many ex-
port heavy cattle are offering. Condi-
tionf in the Old Country are not just
know very favorable for shipping cattle,
as at prevailing rates, the shipper stands
to lose.
For butcher cattle the demand is ac-
tive, and prices were not any easier
than in yesterday's market. But with
a run of 70 cars up to noon, and others
steadily arriving, all day, buyers were
in the mood to await developments. At
the same time trade was brisk enough
to keep things moving, and to ho Id
prices stea ly.
Total run for to -day was np to noon
70 loads, with 1,200 herd' of cattle, 600
sheep, 900 hogs, and 210 calves .

The Blended Flours.
Our farmers should back np the mill -
ere in their splendid efforts to widen
the market for Ontario blended floors,
and thus educate] the whole Canadian
people up to the merits of Ontario
wheat. The farmer is the one most
interested in the work, because he will
be most benefitted by an increase in the
price of his wheat. Yet he is the one
who seems to be doing the least to bring
about this desired end.
When the slump came in Ontario
wheat our millers began to experiment
with the various varieties of Canadian
grains. Tliey spent thousands of dollars
trying to find some combination in
which Ontario wheat would be the most
important part. It took years of careful
and costly research to perfect the blend-
ed flours. Bat the results justified the
trouble and expense.
Blended flours, which contain Ontario
wheat and a little Western wheat, are
better for bread and better for pastry
than any other. What our farmers
should do—and must do if .higher prices
for wheat are to be obtained—is to drop
Western patent flours and use blended
flours instead. Ii every farmer in On-
tario would buy blended flatus there
would be an enormous demand for these
blended flours and a corresponding de-
mand for Ontario wheat. Then the
price of Ontario wheat would go up to
where it belongs, and where it would
pay a handsome profit to the farmer.
Prices are always regulated by de-
mand. When we think of the thousands
of farmers right here in our own prov.
ince who should buy blended flours, and
who are probably using Western patent
flour instead, it does seem as if there is
much missionary work to be done in
educating the whole people up to the
importance of this subject. Everyone
who has the best interests of the prov-
ince at heart should make this a personal
matter, and use that every barrel and
bag of flour that comes into the house
bears the trade mark of the Ontario
Millers' Association, the band of men
who are honestly and honorably striving
to put Ontario flour on the high plane it
once enjoyed.
