Results Of A Sneeze.
A prominent Malahide farmer while
milking his cows recently, suddenly
sneezed, and the vigorous way in
which he performed this very common
action of nature, dislocated his Few.
He didn't stop to finish his milking,
nor have his supper, neither did he ap-
pear to be very talkative with other
members of the family, but it didn't
take him long to get to Aylmer,
where a physician put his face into
shape once more. The • Express says
it is reported that since then, when-
ever he feels the symptoms of a sneeze
coming on, he rushes fur a stone wall,
or the side of a barn, places his chin
against it and with one hand on each
side of bis jaw awaits the explosion
with confidence.

Why "Cive Away."
A Paeadena (California) minister de-
nounces as heather,;leh the custom of
fathers giving away brides. "Is shea
bag of onions or a sack of potatoes r'
says he. This minister says he refuses
to permit the giving away of the bride
in the marriages that he solemnizes.
However, the bride does not often
object to that sort of "give away",
Rules For Consumptives.
Consumption is curable if taken io
time and handled properly, The first
duty of the consumptive is to see that
he does not spread tbe infection to
to others. The first point in curing
the disease is to live, work and sleep
in fresh air. Eat only moderately on
easily digestible foods. Stuffing the.
consumptive patient is simply pro-
longing the disease. As strength re-
turns take up some easy work and
gradually increase the labor as the
patient becomes stronger.
Harvesting And Plowing.
F, Ackroyd moved from Kingston
to Wainwright, Alta., in .1007, and
took up a homestead of 160 acres. In
a letter to The Standard of Empire he
says he uses a 45•horse power gasoline
traction engine on his new farm, and
with this engine he draws a binder
and gang plow at one time, thus doing
the harvesting of one crop and the
plowing for the next in one operation.
The tractor is set directly in front of
the gang plow with the binder along-
side of the latter. Thus the binder is
drawn through the growing grain
while the gang plow turns under the
recently cut stubble. How the
sheaves are got out of the way of the
plow is not explained.

Telephone Competition.
According to the Grand Valley
Star, there is keen competition in the
telephone business\down that way.
The Star says ;—"Competition in
phone business in parts of East Luther
is resulting in a cheap service, one lire
charging as low as $2 00 per year,
The regular rate is $5.00, a' very
moderate one indeed, has not been too
large, from a dividend paying aspect,
and if the rate gets lower, there can
only be one result. What is needed
more than a slashing of rates is united
effort to supply telephones over the
country, without unnecessary dupli-
cation, and arrange for connection
with all competing lines. One tele-
phone in any place is all that is
necessary."
To Promote Agriculture.
The Toronto World is authority for
the statement that the government is
working, upon a comprehensive echeme
under which the provinces will be
subsidized for the benefit of agricul-
ture and for good road building, the
money to be ear -marked and the ex-
penditure to be made on definite lines
to be laid down by the Dominion Gov-
ernment. In order to prepare tbe
way for the granting of the subsidies
and to ascertain exactly what are the
most pressing needs of the individual
provinces, one, nor perhaps two com-
missions will be appointed, to be com-
posed of appointees of the federal
government, to whom the represen-
tations of the provincial governments
and the farming interests will be
made. It has not apparently been
finally determined as to whether there
will be a separate commission to deal
with the roads question, or whether
one commission will deal with the
two questions of roads and encourage-
ment of more ' productive agri-
culture.
Horse Had Rabies.
On Tuesday morning James Clark
of East Garafraxa had to destroy a 4 -
year -old Hackney horse, valued at
$200, which was affected by rabies.
About the 14th of October last, a large
black and yellow bob -tailed dog came
around his place, and .after a tussle
with his dog early- in the morning,
went away and came back about ten
o'clock. This time it entered the
stable, snapped at the horse, and run-
ning straight ahead got into a pig pen
and began worrying them. Mr. Clark
came in from the field; and with a
stout stick killed the animal. 'de
was suspicious about the dog, and
kept a close watch on the pigs, but
none ever showed any effects of the
biting. Nor could he find where the
dog bit the horse. On Saturday he
had the beast in town and it seemed
all right, but next day noticed it was
a little off on its feed. In a few hours
it manifested every symptom of
rabies, snapping at every person
coming near, and at tithes giving evi-
dence of intense pain. Dr, Reilly pro-
nounced it rabies and the horse was
destroyed.—[Grand Valley Star.
For Huron County.
A committee appointed by the
Huron County Council waited upon
Hon, Adam Beck on Nov, 28, to
ascertain whether the hydro -Electric
Commission woald favor their scheme
of developing the water powers of the
Maitland River for the purpose of
power transmission to various places
in that part of Ontario. An alterna-
tive proposition''was suggested by the
deputation that the commission sup,
ply power themselves. Mr. Beck as-
sured them that the commission were
willing to undertake the development
of the river. The new transmission
line would become part of the PtUvin-
Dial hydro -Electric system, Connect-
ing with the llydro line at Seafot th.
It is Important that the Ilydro•E1ec-
trle system should get control of the
water powers on the Maitland Elver
and its connecting there, the Saugeen
and the Beaver, in order that power
can be supplied to the whole of County
Grey. The cost of this extension to
this system would be front sw,nfi0,o00
to $2,000,000, The total amount of
power that eau be developed on the
three river* is estimated at from
twelve to fifteen thousand horeepow'er
daring the high water seen, and
three to four thuueand horsepower in
the dry sin,
A CLASSIC ON CONSUMPTION
Words of a Prominent Canadian Citizen
as. He Hal viewed the War
Against _Consumption
"Men,' women, and children are all
being *Bowed down every day by this
fell disease—consumption.—and it is a
mistake."
These words of Mr. Edward Gurney,
spoken at a gathering in Muskoka a year
ago, may be fittingly termed a classic on
consumption,
Tho records of the Muskoka Sanatorium,
as do those of other institutions of a like
kind, on this continent and in Europe,
show very clearly that this much dreaded
disease can be, and is being conquered by
the treatment followed in any well-managed
sanatorium. Iu our own 1'reviuee, within
the time that the hospitals in Muskoka
have been in existence, the death -rate from
consumption hasbeen reduced twenty-five
per cent.
The life-saving possibilities of the sena-
toriuin in Canada are limited only by the
means required to carry on and extend the
work. For this reason we very cheerfully
ask our readers to help in the great and
growing work that is being done at
Id uskoka,
It is a fine statement for the trustees of
the Muskoka Free Hospital for Consump-
tives to be able to make, that from the
month of April, 1902, when this institution
was first opened, up to the present day,
not a single patient has ever been refused
admission to this hospital because unable
to pay.
Mr. W. J. Gage, Chairman of the
Executive Committee, 84 Spadina Ave., or
the Sec.-Treas., 347 King W Toronto;
will gladly . receive and acknowledge
contributions.
A Holstein Sale.
At Watertown, Wis., a sale of one
hundred and thirty-three Holstein cat-
tle was recently held. The highest
price for a bull was $1,200 and for a
cow $775, and the entire herd brought
nearly $30,000.
A Good Bargain.
It is announced that an agreement
has been made with the Grand Trunk
Pacific Railway, under which the
transcontinental road gets running
rights over the Provincial Railway
from Cochrane to North Bay, on
terms that will yield the Govern-
ment line a revenue equal to one-
half the interest on the entire cost
of con'strnction. This arrangement
will afford fresh trarisportation facili-
ties to the North country, and possi-
bly may permit the reduction of freight
rates to and from frontier communis
ties. `•
Wonderful, To Them.
A unique experience was tliat of
four Indianapolis prisoners, who
Were taken for an automobile ride
of ten miles the other. day, and saw
in an hour the developments which
have taken place in 40 years. One
convict had served. 40 years, one 35
years, one 17 years, one 13 years.
All are lifers. The ride was from
Michigan city to Laporte, where two
of the prisoners saw for the first
time trolley cars, automobiles and
many other evidences' of modern
achievements hidden from them by
prison walls. So great was the sur-
prise that' two of them utterly col-
lapsed from nervous excitement.
FOR. YOUR HAIR.
Here Are Facts We Want You
To Prove.
When the roots of the hair are en-
tirely dead and the pores of the scalp
are glazed oyer, we do not believe that
anything can restore hair growth.
But, when the hair roots retain any
life, we believe there is nothing that
will so surely promote hair growth
as will Recall "93" Hair Tonic. To
prove that statement, we promise to
promptly return all the money you
pay us for Resell "93" Hair Tonic,
should it not please you.
Resell "93" Hair Tonic destroys
the germs which are usually respon-
sible for baldness. It penetrates to
the roots of the hair, stimulating.and,
by promoting circulation, nourishing
tbem.
Rexall "03" Hair Tonic helps to
relieve scalp irritation, to remove
dandruff, to prevent the hair ' from
falling out, and to promote an in-
creased growth of hair. It comes in
two sizes, prices 50e and $1 00. Re-
member, you Can obtain it only at
our store—The Rexall store. J. W,

Narrow Escape.
Three little Lucknow boys, Wilfred
Hughes, Gordon Fisher and Stewart
McKenzie, one not six years of age
and the youngest only three, stood
last week by the very valley of the
shadow of death and ran laughing on
its margin, as it were, unconscious of
their danger. It happened in connec-
tion with the first considerable snow
Call of the season and the first freezing
of the grist mill pond. One little fel-
low thought the pond vas already
frozen over, and he and his companion
ran off together to 'enjoy a 'skate,
There Wag ne ice on the water ; but
from one side of the pond to the other,
over the deepest parte of it, a lot of
snow hard drifted and become Water
soaked, and the little boys walked
right out on this and across the pond
to the farther side. When they were
discovered there, they waded into
the eluehy mixture again and return-
ed as they had gone, At any instant
the frail footing might have given
way and plunged them to their death
In the deep water beneath. They had
no skate that day; but they had their
fun in the snow, and they returned,
safely and Water soaked, to three
homers which oauab very nearly being
made desolate by their innonbnoe,
