EDITORAL NOTES.
•
Redistribution of parliamentary seats
as a result of the new census will take
place next session, and in political
circles it is the cause of considerable
speculation. Particularly is this the
case with regard to Ontario, where
with an electoral unit of 30,852, the
province stands to lose four members.
It will have 82 in place of 86. On the
basis of population, New Ontario will
be entitled to three more members,
while the city of Toronto will also have
three additional ridings. The older
settled portions of the province will
have to gis e up a part of their repre-
sentation to provide for what the more
populous centres are entitled to.
The supreme court of Canada Monday
morning gave judgment on the mar-
riage case referred to them by the
Government, and arising out of the
Lancaster marriage bill of last session.
The supreme court decided that Parlia-
ment has not the authority to pass the
Lancaster bill which means that the
jurisdiction is entirely with the prov-
inces. The court also declared that the
law of Quebec does not render null and
void any mixed marriage, whether per-
formed before a Roman Catholic priest
or Protestant clergyman. The Govern-
ment will immediately appeal to the
privy council from the judgment ren-
dered from the supreme court Monday
morning. A marriage between Roman
Catholics in Quebec solemnized by a
Protestant clergyman cannot be de-
clared invalid by the courts. Justice
Anglin dissented from this view.
With elections called in New Bruns-
wick and also in Saskatchewan,
the twelve months from the early sum-
mer of 1911 to the early summer 1912
will make a new record for political ac-
tivity in Canada. In addition to the
Dominion contest, every province in Can-
ada with two exceptions will have gone
through an election within this period;
while in the case of Alberta there have
been during the year nine contested by-
elections. Of the six elections already
held, four resulted in Conservative and
two in Liberal victories. While Canada
is undoubtedly passing through a period
of Conservative dominance, there are
not lacking signs that the Liberal party
still has many elements of strength.
Since Canada is governed by the party
system this is well; too great power is
a test which no political leader can
stand. With the contests in Saskat-
chewan and New Brunswick over, Can-
ada should have respite for a period of
years from the turmoil of politics. Ex-
cepting Manitoba and Alberta no elec-
tions will be due until 1916. The peo-
ple would welcome a period of compar-
ative political peace. They have had
their fill of conflict and excitement.—

STICK TO THE TWENTY-FOURTH.
[Toronto Star.]
The difference between celebrating
May the Twenty-fourth as a perpetual
holiday, and celebrating June the
third, or any other day on which the
reigning monarch is born, is the differ-
ence between true British patriotism
and fiunkeyism. Long before Imperial-
ism was fashionable, Canada made a
specialty of observing the Queen's
Birthday. It was the occasion of ex-
pressing the chivalrous devotion of the
people to the Queen. It was the first
real summer holiday. It was the day
when the trees were touched with the
freshest, most tender green. It was
the day of firecrackers for the kids and
amateur gardening for their fathers.
The proposal to abolish this holiday,
and substitute for it a celebration run-
ning all over the calendar, according to
the accident of birth of the reigning
sovereign is unwise. Edward the Sev-
enth was universally beloved, but the
date of his birth was forgotten by most
people , and nobody could be induced to
keep it as a holiday. It was too near
Thanksgiving Day; people would not
keep two holidays within two weeks,
and they would not abandon their prac-
tice of rendering thanks to the King of
Kings.
In the same way, June the third is
too near Dominion Day, and we do not
intend to give up the celebration of
our only distinctive Canadian holiday.
We are governed in the British Em-
pire not by the will of the monarch but
by the laws and institutions which he
represents.
The Truth About Advertising.
The sole object of advertising is to
draw custom and it was designed for
no other purpose, so When the dull
season comes along and there is no
trade it is the level headed merchant
who schemes to put in a better adver-
tisement than ever to scoop in all the
trade while his neighbors are making
mortgages to pay the electric light bill.
The merchant who waits until his store
is full of customers before he thinks
he can afford to advertise will not at-
tain the best results. Write this down
where you will fall over it every day.
The time to draw business is when you
want business and not when you already
have more than you can attend to.
The Western Fair.
The management of the Western Fair
London, Ontario are sending out this
week their Prize List, Entry Forms
and other kind of advertising matter an,,
nouncing their coming Exhibition in
September 6th to loth. This is the old-
est Exhibition in Canada and is becom-
ing more and more popular each year.
The prize list contains some very valu-
able information for intending exhibit-
ors. From the breeders standpoint this
is one of the best Exhibitions held, as a
large number of buyers always attend
in order to secure the best animals that
can be obtained. The parade of live
stock daily is something of great inter-
est and attracts large crowds. Stock-
men should include this Exhibition in
their list. Write the Secretary, A. M.
Hunt, London, for prize lists and all in-
formation.
Farms in Grass.
Mr. Frank Hamilton, of Cromorty,
Hibbert township, writes to the Cana-
dian Farm as follows: There is cer-
tainly a scarcity of cattle in the far -
mars' hands at present. The high price
of meat has induced the farmer to sell
everything that would sell. The scar-
city of farm laborers has compelled
farmers to let their land run to grass,
and in many eases it is impossible
to get cattle for the grass. There are
dozens of farmers with from 100 to 150
acre of land trying to work it all alone.
Is it any wonder we hear the con-
suming public complaining that the
farmers do not produce enough. Our
Governments should certainly do some-
thing to induce immigrants, especially
farm laborers, to come to Ontario in-
stead of all going west, as we cannot
produce the stuff without the labor.
Hogs are also scarce just now, but they
are a class of stock that can be very
quickly increased, The breeding of good
horses is a very profitable part of mix-
ed farming, nearly every mare in this
locality being bred.
Severe Neuralgia
Cured Through the . Use of Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills.
There is an excellent reason why Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills have cured the
most severe cases of neuralgia, sciatica
and other complaints in the group
known as disorders of the nerves. This
group also includes St. Vitus dance,
partial paralysis and the common state
of extreme nervousness and excitabili-
ty. Each of these complaints exists
becauz,.. there is something the matter
with the nervous system. If the nerves
have tone and are strong and healthy
you will not have any of these com-
plaints. The reason why Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills cure nervous disorders is,
that they restore weak, run down nerv-
es to their proper state of tone. They
act both directly upon the blood supply
and the nerves. The highest medical
authorities have noted that nervous
troubles generally attack people who
are bloodless and that the nerves are
toned when the blood is r hewed. it
is thus seen that Dr. Wams' Pink
Pills cure nervous disor rs by curing
the cause of the trou e. The follow-
ing is an instanc, iss Annie Jones,
London, Ont., sa, •—"For over a year
I was an intense sufferer from neural-
gia, which located in my face and head
The pain at times was so intense that I
could scarcely keep from screaming,
and nothing I was doing for the trouble
seemed to help me As time went on
my whole nervous system was affected.
At last when I felt that my case was
almost hopeless I was advised to try
Dr. .Williams' Pink Pills . The result
of this treatment was that I am now
enjoying such comfort as I had not
known for years, and only those who
have suffered from neuralgic pains can
realize what a blessing the Pills have
been to me."
If you are suffering from any blood
or nervous disorder begin to cure your-
self to -day with Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills, which you can get from any medi-
cine dealer or by mail at 50 cents a box
or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr.
Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville,
Ont.
Your Knitting.
Tending to your knitting -that's the
game that wins. Hustling forth and
hitting up your task with grins; being
brave and cheerful, shunning futile
boasts; never sbur and tearful, fretting
over ghosts. Tending to your knitting
—that's the only plan; for the hours
are flitting swiftly as they can; soon
the shades will gather, soon the night
will come, then methinks you'll rather
wish you'd hustled some! Tending to
your knitting -in the good old way,
while the loafers, sitting, waste the
golden day! While they heap derision
on this worldly stage, you will make
provision for your wintry age! Tend-
ing to your knitting—that is the proper
game, though the world unwitting,
gives no wealth or fame; though a
scanty measure of reward is yours,
still the sweetest pleasure honest work
assures. Tending to your knitting
makes your soul rejoice, better far
than splitting welkins with S our voice
Better far than growling curses on the
land, better far than howling where
the idlers stand.
A Scotch Revolt.
Hon. Frank Cochrane, the Minister
of Railways and Canals, is a man of
few words, and capable at times of
using language. The story is told that
when hp was on a tour of inspection of
the Intercolonial Railway in the Mari-
time Provinces a few weeks ago he
was waited upon by deputations at
Sydney in the county of Cape Breton,
which is possessed by the unspeakable
Scot. They pestered him first with
one thing and then with another.
"These repairs," to one deputation,
"are pretty small things, they will
probably cost $10 or $15. I'll pay for
them out of my own pocket." The
next deputation was pretty much on
the same scale, and again the Minister
said: "This is a very small affair, I
will pay for it out of my own pocket."
Then the Scotch rose in revolt, and
said: "Take your pocket and your
money and give it to the paupers of
Ontario, and tell Mr. Borden to send a
Minister down here with some intelli-
gence."—Ottawa Journal.
He Decided to Walk.
An employee of a large granite com-
pany was driving from a railway stat -
tion with several casks of blasting
powder and dynamite cartridges in his
load, and overtook a young fellow
walking. Without waiting for an in-
vitation the pedestrian sprang up into
the wagon, and sat down upon one of
the powder casks. He was a talkative
young man, and began at once to make
sarcastic remarks about the speed of
the wagon, or the lack of it. "We're
passing everything on the road," he
said, cheerfully; "that is, everything
that is stationary." Not receiving a
reply, he continued, I had half a mind
to hire a landslip or a glacier just for
speed, you knew, but I suppose we are
doing as well." He was silent for some
time, when he broke off With, "I say,
stop the horse: The earth is revolving
fast enough to get us there." Just
then he prepared to scratch a match on

CARE OF THE MIND.
(By Dr. H. Arnott, M. D. Sr.)
Edison, the great inventor, says that
dishonesty is primarily a want of in-
telligence or education. "Teach a man
that honesty is not only the best pol-
icy, but that, pathologically, every
base act is deteriorating to the brain
cells and those numerous fine fibres
that distinguish the developed Cauca-
sian brain Iobe from the brain lobe of
the savage, and you take the first step
in his reform.
It is now common knowledge that
anger, hatred, malice, and all other
debasing passions, not only injure the
brain cells, but that they develop a
serious poison in the blood. Edison's
idea is only an extension of the same
principle.
Every action,' base or noble, leaves
its mark on the brain. Every thought,
good or evil, acts a'part in beautifying
or injuring the home of the soul. Every
evil habit or angry thought conquered
and turned from bitterness :to sweet-
ness, strengthens that part of the brain
to repeat the same, and helps to make
of the mind a heaven of peace and
happiness.
How careful, then, we should be to
cultivate in the garden of the mind
only the most useful and beautiful
things, and how careful to avoid the
bad book or the evil companion. In all
this we find encouragement in the
thought that it is "God working in us
to will and to do of His good pleasure."
—Onward.
The Lord's Garden.
One of the sweetest little newspaper
paragraphs of the month is the follow-
ing, written by a country correspondent
to the Guelph Mercury:—The far-off
west has many attractions, but we
must not be blind to the positive ad-
vantages and charms of old Ontario.
You may journey far afield, but in few
places does honest toil meet with better
remuneration.. In no other land will
you behold so many homes bright with
influence, beauty, and comfort. Smil-
ing now with all its wealth of summer
glory, its Edens of blossoming orchards.
its varied prospects of rural splendor,
its landscape scenes all fair as. the gar-
den of the Lord, old Ontario, alive with
indiscribable loveliness is the choicest
home land on God's earth.
Saskatchewan Provincial elections
will be held on July 11.
LIVET' STOOK 111,VERETS.
Toronto, June 17—Union Stock Yards
—Receipts, 83 cars, with 1,455 head of
cattle, 1,089 hogs, 229 sheep and lambs,
and 107 calves.
Trade was brisk, and with only a
moderate run, which included 40 cars
of distillery fed cattle, out of a total of
83 cars of stock all told, everything
was cleaned up good and early. The
market was variously estimated at
from 15c to 25c higher than last week.
Export cattle, at all events, were sell-
ing as high as $8.40 for choice distillery
cattle, this being from 30c to 40c higher
than the general run of export cattle
last week. The distillery cattle were
from the Lunis and Halligan stables,
at Walkerville, and from the John
Scott stables. All these catttle were
in fine condition, and competition was
strong.
The comparatively small numbers of
cattle left available for the local de-
mand, set a stronger tone for the
butcher cattle, which sold strong, $7.00
up to $8.10, and good medium butcher
at $6.00 to $6.50.
Sheep and lambs were corresponding-
ly strong and steady at last week's
prices.
