THE COLORS OF THE FLAG.
What is the blue on our flag, boys ?
The waves of the boundless sea,
Where our vessels ride in their tame -
lees pride
And the feet of the winds are free;
From the sun and smiles of the coral
isles
To the ice of the South and North,
With dauntless tread through tempests
dread
The gpatfliau ebipe p forth,
What is the white on our flag, boys?
The honour of our laud,
Which burns in our sight like a beacon
light
And stande while the hills shall
stand;
Ye dearer
Yee, than fame is our u land's
great name,
And we fight, where've' stiCe,
For the mothers and wines that pray
fur the lives
Of the brave hearts over the sea,
What is the red on our ii t,g, boys ?
The blood of heroes slain
On the burning ends in the wild waste
lands
And the froth of the , main.
And it cries to God from the crimson•
ed sod
And the crest of the waves outtolled
That he send us men to fight again
As our fathete fought of *la.
We'll stand by the dear old fisg, boys,
Whatever be said or done,
Though the shots code fast, as we
face the bleat,
And the foe be ten to owl -
Though our only reward be the Linnet
of a sword
And A bullet in heart or. brain,
What matters one gone if the flag
ii oat on
And Britain be lord of the main.

TEMPERANCE vs POLITICS
Those who are arguing that there is
such a thing as a temperance vote will
hardly be able to confirm their viewe
by pointing to the past deeds and aa-
Lions
stions of that sacred and benevolent or-
der of fatuous booze iightere, known
fraternally as Walkerton's Curious
Temperance Union, 13,:tween elec-
tions they are the strougest bunch of
moisture knockers that ever came into
this cow country and one would think
that in political conteststhat they
would take to a dry cause like women
to religion. But do they ? No such
lack! This was exemplified in the case
of the Walkerton Liquor Store, when
fathers implored the Commissioners
to cut it off and save their sons.
When petitions were passed by preach-
ers, church -workers and Sabbath
School teachers prasiog the commis-
sion to banish the bottle, and rescue
the public. All thie came to pass as
asked and they looked back and raw
that it was good. And they made a
noise like being grateful and took time
we believe, to thank the Board. But
how sincere they were is now ancient
history. For behold there came in
time an election and the first thing
one of the candidates did was to angle
for the bottle vote by heading a coun-
ter petition to get back that liquor
store. One would have thought that
those Ohristian Temperance workers
would at least have risen up against
the man who was attempting to undo
that which they had fought so hard to
accomplish a few'short weeks before,
But they forgot their professions of
faith and temperance prindiples in the
heat of party strife. and the father
who sought to save his son, forgot the
boy in the crisis and voted for the
bottle man, The preachers, Sabbath
School teachers, etc„ traded the pub.
lie rescue for the party ticket, and in
almost every instance cast their balm
lots for the would-be restorer of the
red nose store. As an instance of
faith by works it was a beaut, but it
showed how the temperance folks
sand -bag their friends in a contest
shouting prohibition from the house
tops and knocking it at the polling.

Why buy the cheapest corsets
you can get? Why not get hold
of something genuinely good in
Quality •`and Satisfaction and stick
to it?
Economy in corsets doesn't mean
paying out the least money; it
means gettingthe most in style,
comfort and wear for the money
you do pay out. We have customers who in.
sist on D. & A. Corsets at $2.5•o and $3,00 in
preference to the less expensive lines, They
last longer, as a matter of course, and are cor-
respondingly finer i,p workmanship and finish,
Try the plan of paying a little more and
getting a little better. -
Ccrsets are like shoes -The best are the
cheapest in the long run,

D. & A. CORSETS
Why buy the cheapest corsets
you can get? Why not get hold
of something genuinely good in
Quality •`and Satisfaction and stick
to it?
Economy in corsets doesn't mean
paying out the least money; it
means gettingthe most in style,
comfort and wear for the money
you do pay out. We have customers who in.
sist on D. & A. Corsets at $2.5•o and $3,00 in
preference to the less expensive lines, They
last longer, as a matter of course, and are cor-
respondingly finer i,p workmanship and finish,
Try the plan of paying a little more and
getting a little better. -
Ccrsets are like shoes -The best are the
cheapest in the long run,
