OBJECTIONS TO THE BILL. Temperance people had asked for legislation giving them power by a largely signed petition to inake it necessary for a Municipal Colwell to submit a prohibitory law. At present such action is entirely at the option of the Municipal councillors. This re- quest is ignored. The bill provides that a special levy may be made upon the tax -payers of a municipality in which local option is in force, for se- curing funds to administer the law. The cost of enforcement is thus thrown on those who -work and vote for local option prohibition. Friends of our cause fear that this extra tax will deter municipalities from local option contests. To bear the expense of campaigni and conventious is easy for the liquor men, for their business •means money to them, but not so easy for temperance reformers, whose agit- ation is for humanity, and bring no in- come in money. To tax the cost of enforcement on these temperance re- formers is to lay heavy burdens on willing workers and true patriots. If the funds are not available elsewhere, we must accept the tax. --The Christian Guardian. The Toronto wool dealers are receiv- ing numerous letters from large United States mills, requesting them to forward all the wool they can buy. Such firms are making strenuous to efforts to clean out the Canadian mar- ket, as they expect the import duty on wool will be raised 12c a pound within a month. All the large woollen manu- facturers in the U.

The Private Bills Committee of the Ontario Legislature had to deal with a peculiar measure Thursday morning in which the town of Mitchell asked to be allowed to pay a claim of 1,700 regis- tered ' against its local Board of Health. The claim was the result of judgment given against the Mitchell board in ae suit bronght by the Board of Health of the township of Logan, In May of 1895 William Seeba,ch, traveller from Chicago, whose parents lived in Logan township, was taken in with smallpox at Mitchell while on his way home. The local Board of Health allowed him to proceed to his father's residence in Logan, with the result that the man's mother caught the disease. She sued the board for al- lowing her son to come home, and secured $500, and altogether the board was mulcted for $1700. The bill passed. Another resident of St. Marys has passed away -William Kennedy -at the age of 83.

If it were not for the support afford- ed the Turks by the powers they would in a. short time be driven from the is- land. •It is believed here that success has so intoxicated the leaders of the insurgents that they would not hesi- tate to assume actual hostilities ag-ainst the powers If they Should join forces with the Greek army of occupation and resist the powers it would take 4. strong force and "S. large expenditure of money to conquer them. • Excitenieut Jerusalem.

Post, fruit and confection- ery dealer, St. Andrews street, Fergus, last week related to a representative of the News Record the said story of the terrible suffering and sickness of his little daughterElla, his only child, now a, strong and healthy little maiden of ten years of age. At the time of the illness.Mr. Post was a resident of Hamilton. His story is substantial- ly as follows: -"My daughter bad been very delicate from childhood until about three years ago, and the money it costs me for doctor bills made me poor as it was seldom she was witbout dOetOr's care, and at times we have had as manyeas three doctors ivattend. ance and hope of saving her despaired of. The doctors succeeded in keeping her alive, but she was gradually grow- ing worse and we all thought she was warmto die. Our regulax physician had given up hope of Saving her life and remarked that if it were only \\aim weat (it was tlien wbi ter) there might be a chance. Bat seven summers had passed since her bh th and she had gradually beeome feebler, and my wife and. I thought it was just a matter of thne until the child would be called to a better home. About this time Dr. W1111=8'1)3211: Pills were prominently brought to :our notice through a cure they wrought in a neighbors child. I thought I would give them a trial and so informed the doctor but he only laughed at the idea of them helpieg her. However I bought a box ot Pink Pills, and began giving them to her, half a pill at a tinte. After a shorttreatment there was such an im- provement thatneither her mother nor I could doubt that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills were helping her, and I decided to abandon the doctor's services alto- gether. The Pink Pill treatment was continued and although the progress towards health and strength was necessarily slow, it was none the lese certain, and it was continued until she is as well and strong as you see her to- day, and I am thankful to say she has had no oecasion for medical treatment since. I am a strong believer in the efficacy of Dr. Williams' Piuk Pills, for weak and delicate children, and I firmly believe it was this medicine that saved my child," Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are an all round-yeaa medicine and are quite as efficacious in the case of children as in adults. They restore to the blood Its lacking constituents and make:it rich, red and pure. In this way they strengthen the system mad drive out :disease, There are many cases like the above in which this wonderftil medi- cine has pestered health and strength After theb est naedical advice had failed.

There are other pills colored pink, but they are base imitations offered only because they give the dealer a greater profit. They should always be refused. 1 The Toronto Star learns on very good authority that another amend- ment has been added, which is that stop -keepers will be permitted to sell liquor in small quantities, such as a half pint.

London, March 22. -During the debate on the Military Works Bill in the Rouse of Commons to -day, John Dillon, the leader of the anti-Parneintes, protested against the proposed expenditure of £250,000 upon military works on the island of Santa Lu- cia, which he said, was the hall door el the United' States, with which nation there was no likelihood of war. At any rate, Mr. Dillon declared, • the fact that Great Britain proposed spending such a sum of money on military preparations In Santa Lucia showed the lack of sinterity ou the part of • the Government respecting. the Anglo-Amerlean arbitration treaty. Sir Charles Dilke, one of the Radical leaders, defended the proposal of the Gov- ernment. Tee work, be said, had been really delayed too long. It had no .con- ceivable connection with the relations of trcat Britain and the United States. The hill. including the vote for the works in Santa Lucia, then passed the committee stage. • REART FAILURE. Dr. G. C.
