It did not need the recent Loctl Option contests to prove this, but the late3t results showing local option established in a number of additional villages and townships at a time when one would almost imagine that the favorable field had already been covered, reveal how strong temperance opinion in rural Ontario really is. Even more significant in this year's contests are the majorities polled in favor of local option in such urban centres as Brantford, where the majority was neatsy one thousand, Belleville, Port Arthur, Sarnia and Woodstock. The fact that. owing to the three- fifths clause, local option is not actually in force in these cities in spite of these majorities, brings out another vital aspect of the situation. The victories this year, whereby over fifty licenses were wiped out instead of only fonr eliminated last year by local option, prove the contention that public opinion against the liquor traffic has stiffened up considerably owing to the war At the same thne, the saving of 90 licenses this year by the three-fifths clause and the total of 500 licenses in the province saved by this means, in- dicate that this strong putilic opinion against the liquor traffic has not ade- quate facilities to express itself. Local option under the three fifths clause, successful as it has been this year as in the past, will not accomplish what the people of Ontario want done, -making the province dry. It is generally recognized alike by friend and foe ot the liquor traffic, that the movement for provincial pro- hibition will be strengthened, and developments along this line within the next few months and especially at the impending Session of the Legislature, will be watched with keenest interest. New TRADE CHANNELS Detailed trade figures of the Dominion for the twelve months ending with October last show the development of new trade channels consequent upon war conditions. Out of total imports of merchandise amounting to $421,584,- 030. Canada got from Great Britain $72,330,000, or $32,700,00.1 less than dur- ing the preceding twelve months. and f. om the 'United States $346,57,1,000, or $71,505,,10 less than for the previous year. Exports of merchandise for the twelve mouths totalled $550,548,000. To Great Britain Canada sent $277,- 527,00). or $73,000,000 more than in the preceding twelve months. The United States market took Canadian goods to the value of SM. - 11S,:•00, or a little over $10 0,000,000 more than during the twelve months ending with October,1914. Imports from France fell from $11, 5(11,0)0 to $5,700,000, but exports to Fran.e, owing largely to war orders, increased from $8,940.000 to $27,620, 000. To the little corner of Belgium lect in tne possession of the Belgian Government Canada sent during the twelve months nearly a million dollars' worth of goods, presumably all on war account. The effect of war orders in stimu- lating manufacturing exports is seen in the total of $130,850,000 for (manu- factured gcocls exported as compared with only 65,450,0(02during the pre- ceding twelve months. The increase is just about 100 per cent. One reason for the increase in the domestic cost of meats is seen in the fact that the export of Canadian bacon, hams, etc, to Great Britain during the twelve months totalled $20,G00,0 /0, or about three times the amount sent during the previous year. The decrease of liquor consumption is reflectel in an increase of tea con- sannption in Canada. I he vale of tea imported daring the twelve months 1 I was S8,34.1,000, an increase of nearly $2,000,00n ( r about 30 ptr cent., as compared with di k. prvaao ing year. After God had finished making the rattlesnake, the toad, and the vampire, He had some awful substaece left, with which He made a knocker A knocker is a two -legged animal with a corkscrew soul, water-logged brain and a combin- ation backbone made of jelly and gine. Where other men have their heads, he carries a tumor of decayed principles. When the knocker conies down the street, honest men turn their backs, angels weep tears in Heaven and the devil shuts the gates of hell to keep him out.

The majori- ty for union with the Methodist and Congregational Churches, according to official figures announced yesterday, was 53.086. The minority, however, is so large that it is thought doubtful if the General Assembly, which meets in Winnipeg next June, will force union on the 93,156 members who voted against it. The total vote was 239,398. The majority given by this vote on the Church union question is considerably lower than the one given in 1011. The majority then was 80,251. and 14,299 more votes were recorded. In the voting this year not one class of the Church returned a majority against union in any synod. The mem- bers of the sessions gave a majority of 3,026 for, communicants 83,079 for, ad- herents 16,199 for, and the pastoral charges and mission fields a majority of 782 for union. There is only one Presbytery yet to be heard from, and that is Winnipeg. It is understood that a majority for union has been returned there. Death of Mrs. Youhill. Mrs. S. Youhill, a former well-known and highly esteemed resident .of Wing - ham, passed away on Thursday last at Crookston, Minn, The Daily Times of that city in reporting her death says: - One of Crookston's pioneers passed away today when Mrs. Mary Jane You - hill, 401 Hunter street, was called be- yond.

Huron Old Boys The Huron Old Boys' Association, of Toronto, has for a number of years been in the habit of holding an At Home, which has invariably been a mot suc- cessful and enjoyable event; one that is regarded as among the most pleasant of the winter social gatherings, and is usually looked forward to with great anticipation, The executive has decid- ed that the one to be held this year will take the form of a Patriotic Union and At home, A portion of the proceeds to go towards a Recruiting Fund for the Huron Battalion now being formed The convenient and commodious Odd - fellows Hall on College St., Toronto, has been secured for the evening of Friday, Feb. 4, when, should tile weath- er be favourable, it is anticipated many of Huron's sons and daughters, (young and old) will participate in this event. and john AUTOMOBILE AND AUTO TRUCK FEES, The new schedule of automobile and motor truck licenses comes into effect on January 31st. The license fees for 1916 will be as follows: - For all cars of 25 horse -power and under, $10. This is an increase from $6. A $5 increase put cars of the next class up to 35 horse -power at $15, those of the third class up to 50 horse -power $25 and all above that at $30. The minimum fee of $10 would apply to electric cars other than commercial vehicles or motor trucks. For these and trucks of two tons and less, the present fee is $5. This will be doubled, with $5 for each additional ton to the truck. It is not expected that any change will be made in regard to motor cycles. Licenses issued for 1915 will be re- cognized until February lst. -- ROLL OF HONOR, The following is waist of the young men who have enlisted in the 161st Battalion from Wingham Guest Wm. Holt M.

There is a persis- tent. weakness of the limbs, bad diges- tion, shortness of breath and palpita- tion of the heart caused by the thin- bloodedcondition in which grippe almost always leaves its victims after the fever and influenza have subsided. They are at the mercy of relapses and complications, often very serious. This condition will continue until the blood is built up again, and for this purpose nothing can equal a fair treatment with Dr. Williams' Pin Pills, which quickly make the bloodf rich and red, drive the lingering ger/ns from the sys- tem and transform d spondent grippe victims into cheerfu , healthy, happy men and women. M . John Battersby, London, Ont., sa s: -"Just before Christmas, 1914, I as taken down with an attack of Iagi'jppe, and the trouble left me in a lorable condition. I was almost too weak to walk about, as I was then working on a farm in Western Ontarlo, I was quite unable to follow my usual work. I tried several kinds of medicine, but it did not help me. As a matter of fact I felt steadi- ly growing weaker, and in this condition when reading a paper, I saw Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills advertised, and decid- ed to try them. 'I got a supply and by the time the second box was finished I felt considerably better, and after con- tinuing the pills for some time longer I felt better than I had done for months. This was my first experience with Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. but you may de- pend upon it that if I find medicine necessary again I will know just what to take." You can get these pills from any dealer in medicine or by mail, post paid. at 50 cents a box or boxes for $2.50 from the Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. Thoroughly Prepared.
