Caere is nothing consistent in straining titer record immigration results while allow the anneal mortality amongst idren to run 16,000 higher, and ongst adults 11,000 higher than it /said. It would be true national grnamy to avoid this waste and sound anity as well.—Toronto News. 15,940 wits collected in fines in divtriots tinder Weal option law, There were 237 proseentions and 148 convictions, with 86 dismissals, all within the local option areae.

A good many Exousee tor seeking divorce are put forth by Amerioan women, bnt certainly the most novel is that of Miss Illington (Mrs. Daniel Froh- man) who desires to leave her husband and take up with another man because the former insists that she shall remain on the stage, whereas her heart's desire is to remain at home and darn socks as well as look after household goods in general. Miss Illington's plea, if sinoere. and there is no reason to doubt its sincer- ity, disposes of the prevalent idea that tin individual who has once been before the limelight can never thereafter be satis- fied with the dull monotony ot private life. Brantford Expositor. irveU:he monthly bank statement for Jan- 6,Q0ry, shows the total assets to be ick,82.870,666, a decrease of $18,481,624, ours compared with December, 1908.

The number of licensee tortere reduced from 2,571 to 2,481; and ran not ahal mit TOO LITTLE BLOOD Responsible for Nearly all of the Misery Women Endure. Anaemia is written on the features of ninety women out ot a hundred. Unmistakable are the signs of "too little blood," The weaker sex is as- sailed as all ages by the evils resulting from bloodlessness, from the girl who is weak and languid. with dull eyes, pale lips, fitful appetite and palpitating heart, to the woman who feels "never well," with pains in the back and aorosa the shoulders, fainting flee and aohing limbo. And later at life's turning point, nervous disorders and heart troubles make great calls on a woman's strength. At all ages Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are especially valuable to the female sex, for they alone possess the power of making in abundance the rioh, rad blood of health. They fill the starved veins with now blood, so that enfeebled bodies are strengthened, weak nerves are fortified, and robust health is re- stored. Mrs. E. Smith, Windsor, N. S., says: "A few years ago my health began to fail. I suffered greatly from inward troubles, and in about a year's time my. whole system was almost a wreck. My blood had turned to water. a heart had become so badly effe I could scarcely go about. I had almost become a burden seemed little hopefor me. friend asked me it I had t liams' Pink Pills, and to had been in elmG was and that the to her present s courage from w and began to take the Pills. I took them regularly for several months, oonetantly growir:g stronger. and the internal troubles from which I had been afflicted were disappearing, and my whole system seemed to have gained new strength. I wanted to make ser• tain that there would be no return of the trouble and I continued to take the Pills for a time after I had really re- covered. Since I have proved for my- self what Dr. Williams' Pink Pills oan do, I have recommended them to a number of suffering people, and those who have given them a fair trial have proved with me that Dr. Williams' PInk Pills are just what they are recom- mended to be."

Oar snow storms from the east are not to be trusted. Our neighbor, Sam- uel Peddle, thought he was equal to it, but it gave him a rest for a week with le grippe and the side of his face was frozen and erysipelas set in. We are glad to say he is around again. He says for the future when storms are from the east he will keep near the log shanty. We were pleased to see the ice teams doing their beet last week. The drawers are anxiously waiting for colder weather so that more ioe can be cut. The swamps are getting very soft and it is not safe td work horses in them.

We would like to send you a full copy of his letter, or you might write him direct. His case was really marvelous, but is only one of the many proofs that Scott' s Emulsion is the most strengthening and re -vitalizing preparation in the world. Even inthat most stubborn of all diseases (consumption) it does won- ders, and in less serious troubles, such as anemia, bronchitis, asthma, catarrh, or loss of flesh from any cause the effect is much quicker.

Oa Saturday night occurred the death of an old resident of the town in the per- son of John H. Johnston at the age of 84 years, 11 months and 10 days.

After an illness of six weeks of typhoid fever, Neil McNair, lot 22, con. 16, passed that bourne, from which no traveller returns, on Tuesday afternoon, Feb. 16th, aged 36 years, 6 months and 18 days. He had been getting along fairly well when performation of the bowels took plane causing hie demise. He wasa son of the late Jas. McNair and was known to many in the township as he was assessor for the past two years. About seven years ago he was united in marriage to Mies Florence Duncan, of Clinton, and she, two sons and a daughter survive. Mr. McNair was a faithful member of Knox church, Oranbrook, and a staunch Liberal. His early demise is sincerely regretted. YDELMORE. Farmers in this vioinity made good use of the sleighing in drawing logs to the saw mill. From the appearance of things around the mill one would say that our miller, Mr. Edwards will have a busy season. Mr. Wm. Elliott, of the brick yard, held a two days' wood and logging bee last week in whish many of his neigh- bors took an active part. As a fitting climax a large danoing party was given whish was very mush enjoyed by those who attended, this being the general Verdict around Belmore. Oar readers' will be pleased to learn that Mr. Nathaniel Harris, of the boun- dary, near McIntosh church, who has been suffering for some time from partial paralysis, is now improving nicely.

Martin, of Brussels, who paid Nature's debt on April 10th, 1893. The surviving chil- dren are Daniel, at Estevan, Manitoba; Hugh A.. and Miss Annie at home. Two sons, William and John Edmond, are deceased. The subject of this notice was an industrious, honest, honorable man, who enjoyed the reepeot and esteem of the community. He was a member of the Presbyterian Church and a Liberal in pollltioe. Mr. John Mulvey returned home last Thursday after spending a few days with his sister who is in very poor health in Chicago. Mr. Mulvey reports that Miss Mulvey is not improving as rapid- ly es her friends hoped for. The sale of the farm at present oocupied by Mr, R. Nichol and owned by Mr. P. Terriff to Dir. Henry Welehar, by report is nearly completed. Mr. Welsher will then have 300 acres of flrst•class land. The price paid for the farm, which contains 188 acres, is said to be $6,000, We are sorry to lose Mr, Niohol and family from our midst, but are glad to note that they intend locating on their own farm about two and a halt miles from here and we hope to see them often.

There was a very small run, and for this reason drovers held out for high prises and would-be buyers in many instances probatly decided they would await the later markets of the week and take ohances on there being more cattle to choose from, with pos- sibly easier prises. Although the wait- ing polioy made business slower there were other buyers enough on the mar- ket, however, to clean up all the offer- ings, and last week's prides were well maintained. There were almost fanny prices bid for picked out extra ohoioe cattle in the best export class, but want- ed looal killing as choice butcher.
