The tremendous growth of cigarette smoking in sp.te of the attempts to curb it amongst those of tender years gives cause for the greatest anxiety. What. ever may be said of other forma of stroking, there can be no doubt as to the hurtfulness o, the cigarette, espec ialy to children, and every effort should be made to discourage its use. In Eng- land a very stringent law has been pass- ed, which not only provides for the pun- ishment of those selling cigarettes to children, but the child himself. To re- move the possibility of smoking in pub- lic is more than half the battle with boys who mostly do it to be seen. While speaking of cigarettes, the statement has been made that their nee amongst girls and women is on the increase. We hardly think this can be so, although undoubtedly amongst those of a certain ('ass who imigiue they belong to the "amart set" and who may think they represent womanhood there is still some smoking and guzz'ing. Pablio opinion even in society now frowns upon both. —The Home Journal, Toronto. HURON COUNTY COUNCIL. A special meeting of the Huron county council opened In the town hall, Seaforth, on Tuesday afternoon of last week. Warden McLean, of Goderioh, occupied the chair and all the members were present except two. Oa the op- ening of the noun il, Clerk John A.

A very pretty wedding took plane on Wednesday afternoon, Feb, 19th, at the residence of the bride's mother, Mrs. Joel Sellers, of the 2nd oon. of Morrie, when Mise Minnie was united in the bonds of matrimony to Wm, Woodrow, of Penes, Sask., formerly of this town- ship. The wedding march was played by Miss M. Roe and the ceremony was performed by Rev. G. Baker, of Blue - vale, in the presence of about fifty re- latives and friends of the bride and groom. The bride looked charming gowned in point -de sprit embroidered with ribbon over silk. She carried a boquet of cream tea roses and maiden- hair ferns. They were unattended. Im- mediately after the oeremony, of con- gratulations, and during the serving of the wedding dinner the company was entertained by gramaphone selec- tions furnished by Isaac Jewett, after whioh the evening was spent with games, mueio and singing. The wed- ding presents were beautiful, ooetly and useful and testified to the high esteem in which the bride and groom are held. The bride's going away gown was bine broadcloth with hat to match. They intend to leave early in March for their new home in the West. The new French treaty Is an object lesson in the extent to which trade may be promoted by the removal of tariff restrictions. Under the agreement recently entered into between Canada and France re- ductions aro made in the duties on cer- tain French oomm,dities entering Canada, and in return there are like concessions in favor of speoified lines of Canadian prodacts entering the Frenoh market. One of the most important concessions obtained by Canada is in the material lowering of the duty on agricultural implements exported from this ooantry tc France. Heretofore, while the French duty was the same on implements im- ported from the United States es in the case of Canada, the bulk of the business of sueplying France with imported im- plements was in tha hands of the United States. Now that Canada has secured a reduction in which the United States does not share, it is announced that all the impltemente put up by the Inter- national Harvester Trust for export to France will be made in Canada instead of Illinois, and Kat the result will be to add two million dollars a year to the value of the output of the company's plant in the city of Hamilton. The results promised under the ar- raugementa reoently entered into with France should encourage the Govern- ment to enter upon negotiations with Germany with a view to extending trade in that direction also. RHEUMATISM IN THE BLOOD. oar published report of the January session to consider the advisability of adopting a county system of roads, with the object of participating in the Government appropriation for good roads. Ia this connection it is worthy of note that the only former 000es:on in which the county council met in Seaforth was some 35 years ago. The meeting then was also a special one and was for the consideration of the proposition to bay ap the toll roads on the north gravel road. It would seem from this that when the county council have any big soheme on in connection with good roads they have to come to Seaforth. After being received by the Seaforth officials the council proceeded to rou- tine business. Moved by Messrs. Leckie and Mc- Millan, that this council appreciate very highly the address of welcome of the Mayor of Seaforth, and other kind references made to the county coun- cil, and that the address be published in the minutes,—Carried. Moved by Messrs. Bailie and &oth- ers, that the usual grant be made to the cfii:ers and men of the 33rd regiment, on the same terms as last year.—Carried. Moved by Messrs Smith and McDar- mid, that owing to the large num- ber of font" passengers crossing Bay-' field bridge, now being erected, it be- ing only a 14 -foot roadway, we would ask this council to have attached a side walk five feet wide to the new bridge, for the convenience of foot passengers —Sent to "the road and bridge committee. Moved by Messrs. Harris and Go- venlock, that Messrs. Milne, Leckie and the Warden be a committee to arrange a welcome to the ex-offioials of tide county at the June meeting. —Carried. A draught by-law, providing for going into the Good Roads business, was read by the clerk and Dr. Holmes, treasurer, who was one of the deputation who waited on the Govergment in this con- nection, addressed the council. Moved by Messrs. McMillan and Lec- kie, that this council resolve itself into two committies to consider the draft by-laws regardsng the proposed county road system, one committee to be composed of the members from the urban municipalities, the other to con- Aramwssamensimmiwommossamasommilminumalisros Cure it by Epriehing the Blood With Dr. Williams' Pini(: Pills. There is only way by which rheuma- tism oan be oared. It must be treated through the blood. Lininients and out- ward applications may give temporary relief, but they can't possibly cure the trouble. Aud while you are experiment- ing with liniments the trouble is every day becoming more firmly rooted in the system, and more diffioult to core. The poisonous acid that causes rheumatism must be driven out of the blood, and you can only do this by making new• rioh, red blood through the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pile. Mr. Chas. R. Lumley, of Briokford, Oat., is one of the best known femurs in Lambton county. About three years ago, while Mr. Lumley was engaged in threshing, he became overheated, and this was followed by a severe chill that started the rheumatic pains. Mr. Lum- ley says: "I did not think anything of it at the time as I was accustomed to being exposed to all kinds of Weather, As a result I was unable to go about next morning. I had eevero pains in my arms and lege which I treated at first with the notal home remedies. As these did not help me, and the trouble was growing worse the famitg doctor was sent for, but he did not have any better success. He told me I was suturing from a severe attack of rheumatism, and there can be eat doubt about it : a I was oonfiaed to my home a, • four months before I was fort , ately ad- vised to try Dr. Willirm= Pink Pills. I sent for' a supply, and ' • was not long before.I found they ere helping me, and by the time I • a • taken a half dozen boxes the trouble • : • entirely dieappear- ed. In other respects the pills also greatly improved my health, and I never felt better in my life than I have einoe taking them. I therefore moat cheer- fully recommend Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to other similar sufferers." Dr, Williams` Pink Pills make cures of this kind after doctors and common medicines fail, because they actually make new blood. They don't onre the mere symptoms. They go right to the root of the trouble in the blood. That is why this medioine cures anaemia, indigestion, neuralgia, palpitation of the heart, and the headaohes and backaches brought on by the ailments that fill the lives of Po many women with misery. Do not take any pills without the fall name, "Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People," on wrapper around the box. Sold by all medioine dealers or by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2 50 from the Dr. Williams' Medicine Co , Brookville, Ont. WlxrTEOHIIROH.

No Mystery to Advertising. Many non -advertisers and more than a few advertisers are possessed with the idea that there is something mysterious about advertising, and that one must necessarily be endowed with an occult faculty of some sort to be able to pre- pare and promote effective publicity. ' his delusion prevents men of one type from trying to write ads and so develop- ing whatever talent he may possess in this line, and they either refrain from advertising or else pay others for doing the work they themselves oould do as well or better. It causes men of another type to search the dictionaries for long words to take the place of short ones, to cud- gel their brains for cleverly -turned phrases to take the plane of simple statements of fact. It does not require any great amount of special talent to prepare good, strong advertising matter, for, after all, it is plain commonsense talk, human talk, that accomplishes the greatest results. When the idea of mystery is done away with, then the silly notion that fanciful words are hypnotic is abandoned, when fine phrasing is regarded as non-essen - tial, the preparation - of effective ad copy is less difficult than is the finding of a good excuse for letting a poor ad appear in print. Farmers are asking what are you people in town going to do for summer wood, seeing your saw mills are not put- ting in a stock of logs.

Oa assembling, the road and bridge committee reported on the Bayfield bridge matter, referring it back to the whole council. ?A ed by Dr. Milne and Dr. Smith, that a sidewalk four feet wide be put to the Bayfield bridge at once.
