GOVERNMENT ANNUITIES.
Mr. R, D. Cameron. of Lucknow gave
a _clear outline of the Government
Annuities scheme, in his address in
the Council room, Wingham,,, on
Thursday evening. He thoroughly
understands his subject, and presents
ib in an interesting way. Though a
Government measure, it has received
the support and approval of both poli-
tical parties and is purely non-par-
tisan, and is meeting with consider-
able success.
The speaker gave a brief sketch of
the various old age pension schemes in
other countries. In Great Britain and
New Zealand the scheme is wholly
supported from the public revenue.
In France and Germany the govern-
ment, the employer and the pensioner
jointly ,contribute. The Canadian
proposition differs from all these,
What the government proposes to do
is to receive deposits from any person
of any age between 5 and 85 years and
convert them into annuities payable
at age 55. or later in life, as the appli-
cant desires. The cost of promoting
and managing the annuities is borne
by the government.
The government pays 4 per cent.
compound interest on all premiums or
investments, fixing the annuities on
that basis. In case o£ death before the
annuity becomes due a return is made
of all moneys paid with 3 per cent.
compound interest to the heirs. The
lowest annuity is $50 per annum and
the highest $000. There are no for-
feitures or lapses. The applicant gets
credit for all that is paid in. Deposits
may be made weekly, monthly, quart-
erly, half -yearly or yearly in amounts
25c and upwards in any money order
P.O. in Canada.
If the amount paid in with interest
compounded at 4 per cent, is notsuf-
ficient to give the lowest annuity of
$50, all payments with 3 per cent.
compound interest are returned to the
applicant at the annuity age of 55
years. The amount laid aside for an-
nuities is immune from attachment
for debt. It is payable only to the
applicant, he receiving it every three
months as long as he lives, The ap-
plicant may, by paying an additional
sum, guarantee his annuity for 5, 10,
15 or 20 years so that it would be paid
to his heirs in the event of his death
during the guaranteed period, and
should he survive the guaranteed
period it would still be continued to
him as long as he lived, without addi-
tional charge.
Example : A man aged 20 purchas-
ing an annuity guaranteed for 10
years of $100 to begin at 60, would pay
in 22c a week or $11.14 a year for 40
years or a total of $445.60,
If he should die at any time before
the annuity fell due, all that he had
paid in with 3 per cent. compound in-
terest would be returned to his
heirs.
If he should die after the last pre-
mium had been paid and just before
the annuity fell due, the Government
would., return to his wife or heirs
the sum of $865.17.
If he died after receiving one pay-
ment
ayment of annuity the . Government
would pay to his wife or heirs $100
every year until the whole of the $1,-
000 guaranteed had been paid.
If he survive the 10 years, the $100
a year, which is the annual income
on a deposit of $3,333.33 ?S' in the Post
Office Savings Bank, would be paid
to himself so long as he might live if
he should live to be 100 or over.
To give the above advantages the
system involves considerable govern-
ment outlay in. the cost of manage-
ment and promotion and is an inter-
est charged rather larger than the
government pays on its other borrow-
Ings. This represents the govern
meats contribution towards a scheme
for the general benefit.
The idea is not investment but pro
teetion. These annuities are intended
for those of moderate means and do
not provide more than a suns required
for the necessaries of life. The largest
annuity that can be bought is $600 a
year. He who wishes to provide for a
large income must go elsewhere and
pay for the accommodation given bine.
Those wbo want to be sure of an in-
come of from $50 to $600 a year can
make their arrangemente with the
government, which ie looking for no
profit and le taking no pay for trans-
acting the bueinese,
All interested in obtaining printed
information can get it upon applica-
tion to their local poet ofllae or upon
writing to the authorities at Ottawa.
Persons deeleing of keeping there -
selves ont of need In their Old. days
stumid look into the annuities plans,
We natty refer to the smatter again

BEARING DOWN PAINS.
What woman at sometime or other
does not experience these dreadful
bearing down pains. Mrs. E. Griffith,
of Main St., Hepworth, Ont., says :—
"Heavy bearing -down pain had set-
tled across my back and sides. I was
often unable to stoop or straighten
myself up. Many times each night I
would have to leave my bed with the
irregular and frequent secretions of
the kidneys and just as done out in
the morning as on retiring. I was
languid and ;
would have to let
my house -work
stand, Nothing
I had tried
would benefit
me. I learned
of Booth's Kid-
ney Pills and
concluded that I
would try them
which I did, and
soon found the long sought relief.
My back strengthened and I began to
feel better and stronger. I now enjoy
my sleep without being disturbed and
feel grateful ta. Booth's Kidney Pills
for what they did for me."
Booth's Kidney Pills are a boon to
women. She would know less of back
aches if she took more of these wond-
erful pills. They are nature's greatest
specific for all diseases of the kidneys
and bladder. All druggists, 50c box,

Dog Goes To Doctor.
An intelligent bull -terrier named
Tobe, which is owned by Mr. Hal. G.
Hotchkiss of Topeka, Kansas, had one
of his hind legs broken, supposedly by
an automobile. He w as taken to the
office of Dr. Otto Kiene, who skil-
fully set the limb. For some time
Tobe trotted about with the injured
member held tight in a plaster cast.
A few days later Tobe got into a fight
with another dog, which tore the cast
from his leg that was again broken
in the same place. Tobe at once
hobbled alone to Dr. Kiene's and
waited at the door until the doctor
returned. He was taken inside and a
new cast was put on his leg, after
which, as we are informed in a letter
from Mr. Hotchkiss, he made his way
straight home, a distance of about
two miles.
MILLIONS OF LIVES.
An Awful Toll Collected By Con-
sumption. Many Unneces-
sary Deaths.
If people could only understand
that systemic catarrh is an internal
disease that external applications
cannot cure, they would not need
to be warned so often about this
malady, which, when neglected, paves
the way oftentimes for consumption,
at the cost of millions of lives every
year. Yet catarrh may be cured, if
the right treatment is employed,
The only way to successfully treat
catarrh is by employing a medicine
which is absorbed and carried by the
blood to all parts of the system, so
that the mucous membrane or internal
lining of the body is toned up and
made capable of resisting the infection
of consumption and other diseases.
We have a remedy prepared from
the prescription of a physician who
for thirty years studied and made
catarrh a specialty, and thdse record
was a patient restored to health in
every case where his treatment was
followed as prescribed. That remedy
is Rexall Mucu-Tone, We are so
positive that it will completely over-
come catarrh in all its various forms,
Whether acute or chronic, that 'we
promise to return every penny paid us
for the medicine in every case where
it fails or for any reason does not
satisfy the user,
We want you to try Rexall Mucu-
Tone on our recommendation and
guarantee. We are right here where
you live, and you do not contract any
obligation or risk When you try Rexall
Mueu-Tone on our guarantee. We
have Rexall Mucu•Totne in two sixes,
50e and $1.00. 'Very often the taking
of one 50 -cent bottle is sufficient to
make a marked impression upon the
case. Of course in chronic cases a
longer treatment is neeceesary.. The
average in strep instances ie three
$1.00 bottles, Remember you can

Talstoi's Last Words.
Before he passed from earth, the
great Tolstoi left this farewell mes-
sage to the world :—'•Instead of re-
turning evil with evil, try to return
evil with good ; to say nothing i11 f
men ; to act kindly even with the
and dig . Live thus one day,to
g
days or more and compare the state
of your mind with its state in former
days. Make the attempt and you
will see bow the dark, evil modes have
passed away and how the soul's hap-
piness has increased. Make the at-
tempt and you will see that the gospel
of love brings
not merely profitable
words, but the greatest and most
desired of all things."
