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.

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

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-

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

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.
