EDITORIAL NOTES
Another of the steadily growing
extravagance of the Ontario Govern-
ment in years when they should have
been economical and thus have avoided
the necessity of taxing the people of
Ontario in such onerous ways as they
are now doing, is furnished by official
information secured from the govern-
ment upon request of the Opposition
showing the increases in the Civil Ser-
vice staff. In the last ten years the
number of employees in the Ontario
Civil Service, excluding the Department
of Public Works, has increased from
779 to 1393, an increase of 594 or over
77 per cent. If the Public Works De-
partment figures were included this
increase would assuredly be still
greater.
JUDGE DOYLE LEAVING
Mrs L. Watson of Owen Sound, Ont
announces the engagement of her
daughter, Alma, to Mr. Frederick E.
Hess of London, Ont., son of Mr. and
Mrs. Frederich Hess of Zurich, Ont.,
the marriage to take place June 14th.
Mr. Erank $ainton, an ingenious
Bervie blacksmith, came sailing into
Walkerton on Saturday in a Ford car
that threw out no smells of gasoline but
ran on the product of Coal Oil Johnny.
The bigh price of gasoline, which has
scared so many off the road, has no
terrors for the Bervie brave, who has
invented and attached a contrivance to
carbonator of his engine that enables
the car to slip along on the cheapest
brand of coal oil as freely as on the dear-
est grade of gasoline. As the one costs
14c as against 40e a gallon for the other,
the saving erected by rushing through
the country with a kerosene can maybe
easily figured out. —Herald -Times.

Harriet Chaiott, second daughter of the

A Unique Record on the Bench of the
County of Huron
Goderich people will sincerely regret
the removal from town on Monday next
Of His Honor Judge Doyle and Mrs.
Doyle, as during their residence in
Goderich they have made many friends
and won the respect and esteem of all.
Judge Doyle's successor, now Judge L.
H. Dickson, has been sworn in as senior
judge and will, no doubt, also be ap-
pointed Surrogate Court Judge and local
master of the Supreme Court, and now
that Judge Doyle is relieved of the
duties of the position, he is leaving on
Monday morning accompanied by Mrs.
Doyle, for Seattle, Wash., where they
will visit their son-in-law and daughter,
Dr, and Mrs. Bournes. They will prob-
ably spend the summers in Seattle and
the winters in California. The judge is
interested, along with the son-in-law in
a 40 -acre fruit farm in the Yakima Val-
ley, Washington state, abcut 2000 miles
from Seattle, which cost them $10,000.
Thirty-five acres of the farm are planted
to apple trees and the remaining five
acres in alfalfa. A government system
of irrigation provides the moisture nee,'
essary for the cultivation: of the farm,
and His Honor is very much interested
in the prospects.
The retiring judge has had something
of an unique record on the bench it, this
county, having completed the thirty
years' service and having attained to
seventy-five years of age, entitling him
to the fullest superannuation provided
for. Judge Doyle served on the bench
in this county for eleven years longer
than did the late Judge Toms, whose re-
cord was the longest apart from the pre-
sent retiring senior judge. It was
January 11th, 1883, when Judge Doyle
was appointed junior judge of the
county and Dec. 10th, 1902, when be
was advanced to the senior position,
thus making a record of over thirty-
three years on the bench. Judge Toms
was appointed junior judge Dec. 2nd,
1872, and senior judge Dec. 1st, 1882,
Judge Doyle getting the junior appoint-
ment the following month. Judge
Toms died May 14th, 1895, thus com-
pleting twenty-two years and five
months service on the bench.—Goderich

SWINGING NEURALGIA
The Trouble Due to Nerves
Starved for Tack of Good
Wood
An eminent medical writer has said
that "neuralgia is the cry of starved
nerves for better blood." The one
great symptom of this tronble is pain,
fierce, stabbing pain, that almost
drives the sufferer frantic. The one
cause is poor blood; the only cure is
to enrich the blood. Heat applied to
the inflamed nerves will give relief
but does not cure, Dr Williams' Pink
Pills furnish the blood all the needed
elements. and the blood conveys them
to the nerves. The only way of get-
ting food for medicine to the nerves is
through the blood, and the only way
to enrich the blood is through a fair
use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. In
this way neuralgia, sciatica and other
nerve disorders are promptly cur
and the whole system benefited,. d
strengthened. Mrs. M. Gleason R.
No. 1, Uxbridge, Ont., who wa• T, great
sufferer from neuralgia, say • 'I suf-
fered intensely from neural • for four
years. My blood was thi and I was
completely run down suffered in-
tense pain alt the Om . At different
times I consulted tb e doctors, but
their treatment did; more than give
me temporary r ef. Then I tried
different medicines, but the result was
the same—they seemed no good in my
case, I was growing steadily worse,
and finally could not leave the house
nor do a bit of work. The last doctor
I consulted could do nothing for me
but give me morphine tablets to ease
the pain, and by this time I had about
resigned myself to a life of pain. Then
one of Dr. Williams' almanacs came to
our house and I read of similar cases
cured through the use of Pink Pills. I
got three boxes and before they were
all gone the pain began to decrease,
and I began to have a better appetite.
By the time I had taken six boxes 1
was again a well woman, and my
neighbours could hardly realize that
such a change could be made in so
short a• time.» Later• I was bothered
with eczema and Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills cured me. I have found these
Pills worth their weight in gold and I
cheerfully recommend them to all who
are ailing,"
You can get these Pills from any
medicine dealer or by mail at 50 cents
a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The
Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville.
Ont.
BORAX USEFULNESS.
Always have a box of borax on hand,
for it can be of usefulness in many
ways.
If you desire an antiseptic wash for
a cut, dissolve a teaspoonful of borax in
a pint of warm water—of course the
water should first be boiled, and 'then
cooled to the warm stage, if possible,
The solution can•be kept on hand.
Put a little in the water in which the
hair is washed, if the /lair is oily. Be
sure to rinse it thoroughly.
Put a pinch ,in the . water in which
green vegetables are bailing to make
them bright in color.
Add a teaspoonful to the water in
which the hands are washed to sotten
the water—and the hands.
Use it in the laundry to whiten
clothes.
Wash the kitchen towels in a strong
solution of borax, then rinse them, and
hang them in the sunshine to dry
quickly.
W. H, Taylor, ex-M.P.P. for North
Middlesex, and postmaster of Parkill
for the past ten years, died as a result
of being kicked by a horse.
Canadian casualties during the war
have totalled 23,110, of which numhhr
3,404 were killed in action, and32
died of wounds.

KiNG OF URBAN TREES."
Qu a,litiga That Adopt the Elm to A.
chitecturtil Surroundings.
The elm is essentially a self sufficient
tree. It does not thrive iu groves. It
bas a standard type of its own, and it
either attains this type or is lost to
view. The elm wl}ich comes to ma-
turity is usually the one which bas
lodged in a favored spot where there
Is no competition, such as a river
meadow, where the spring freshets
have dropped the seed on fertile soil
and the roots can get down to water.
We all know the type, the noble trunk
of massive girth tapering very grad-
ually upward to the first spring of
branches and then dissolving into those
branches as a water jet might dissolve
in many upward and out ctirving
streams till the whole Is lost in the
P tray of the foliage. Like many other
trees that grow alone, it develops an
exquisite symmetry. But with the elm
this symmetry is not only one of gen-
eral contour, but of individual limbs.
Not only is the silhouette symmetrical,
but the skeleton also, branch balanc-
ing branch.
That is what gives it its remarkable
fitness to comport with architectural
Lines. with geometrically designed vis-
tas. It has a formal aitructure and a
consequent dignity which make it the
logical shade for a village street, a
chapel, a library, the scholarly proces-
sion in cap and gown. Add to that dig-
nity its arched and airy lightness and
its splendid size and you have the king
of urban trees.—Walter Prichard Ea-
ton in Century.
A LUCKY STONE.
Maybe the Part it Played Was Merely
That of Coincidence.
In his book, "The Magic of Jewels
and Charms," George E. Kunz relates
this little story of a lucky stone and
the adventures of its owners:
"Some' years ago a meteorite was
given to Edward Heron Allen, thefa-
mous writer on palmistry and the vio-
lin, and this gifted man always wore it
about him. One morning he awakened
to find that the entire roof above him
had fallen in, except just that portion
over his bed
"He told the story to one of the best
known ladies in Boston, one who is
known for her public spirit, her Love of
art and her faultless,manner of enter-
tnining, This lady successfully urged
Allen to give her the meteorite.
"A few days later, while out driving,
a great truck with two runaway horses
attached to it struck her carriage. In-
stinctively she raised her muff to pro-
tect her Lace. The muff was almost
cat in two, but the lady was not hurt.
A few days later, while she was walk-
ing
alking under some scaffolding, it fell, and
the open part where the hoists went
up proved to be just where she steed.
.although surrounded by ruin, she re-
mained unharmed."
Whether the stone was a factor in
averting disaster to its owners in their
moments of peril is, however, a matter
apart from the facts in the case.
How to Quit Smoking.
Do not light the first cigar Iess than
half an hour after•brealsfast. The more '
difficult this delay may be the more
need there is for a cure. The remain-
der of the day smoke the same as
usual. It is only the first cigar with
which we are dealing. Keep this up
for a week, then lengthen the interval
to an hour for another week, then
make it one and a half hours, two,
two and a. halt, and so on. If yon
have an "all gone" sensation, a long-
ing for something, eat an orange or
apple or almost any kind of fruit, but
don't smoke until the time is up. The
nerves, being deprived of their morning
stimulant, are crying for nourishment,
which nature is hastening • to supply
through increased appetite to supply
digestion. )3y the time the first cigar
is entirely eliminated the cure is ef-
fected with no serious derangement of
the heart or digestive apparatu&E=

Lost His Bearings.
It was an English skipper of the obi -
en time who, having knowledge be-
yond the seeming needs, as he could
read and use the charts, was dis-
patched to Rotterdam. The skippet
had never been to Rotterdam' before, so
atter getting over the bar and well
away to the east he produced his
charts and made a teamed inspection,
but the charts bad been a long time
int the locker and circumstances com-
bined to alarm hint extremely. He
went up On deck and Called to hie
