� Merry Ghristmas
This is the season of the year when
we always haven the pleasure of
waiting on an army of Lady
Patrons. We enjoy it, too. Wish
there were more Holiday Seasons;
for the ladies can't come too often
A Man Likes Something he can wear
Get his presents where he always buys his wearables. Get
them here and then you can't go wrong.
Our Christmas Ties—Here's a beauty show surely.
Every Man and Boy always expects a Christmas Tie, and
generally gets it. 25c to $1.25.
A FEW MORE SUGGESTIONS
House Coats, the limit f a man's home comfort. Um-
brellas, very appropriate this season. Fine Handkerchiefs,
in pure linen, silk, exceldas, &c. Silk Suspenders,
Mufflers, Arm Bands. Half Hose, in fine cashmeres, silks
and worsteds. Gloves in grey and tan, mocha, cape suede
and wool, Shirts, Collars, Cuffs, Cuff Buttons, Collar
Bags, Laundry Bags, &c.
When Christmas shopping, come
here with your troubles and you'll
be sur -prised and gratified to
see how easily and satisfactorily
we can fix "Him" up.

A Problem for
Prohibitionists
WE have a question to
ask of Prohibitionists
this week which will
require their very best intel-
lect to answer.
They claim an attempt—
AT THE BEST ONLY
AN ATTEMPT—to stop
the drinking of alcoholic
beverages by a law, is at least
more effectual than a well -
administered license law.
Will they please therefore
tell us how it is that both IN
THE UNITED STATES
AND CANADA, where
Prohibitionists; have been
striving with all their power
for years to bring liquor -
drinking into disfavor,
where they are YEAR BY
YEAR INCREASING
THE AREA in which
prohibitory legislation holds
sway, that YEAR BY
YEAR THE PRODUC-
TION AND CON-
SUMPTION. OF ALCO-
HOLIC BEVERAGES
INCREASE.
WHEREAS in Europe
generally, where there is
LITTLE OR NO PRO-
HIBIICORY LEGISLA-
TION, they are DECIS-
IVELY REDUCING the
NATIONAL CONSUM-
PTION OF INTOXI-
CANTS year by year.
THESE ARE FACTS
—(not opinions)—SOLID,
IRREFUTABLE, BUT
DRY GOVERNMENT
RETURNS.
One more question—Why
cannot our opponents act
like men ? We concede,
willingly, they have acted
hitherto in all sincerity to
the best of their information
and belief, At least the
bulk of them have. Now
that EXPERIENCE has
shown their EFFORTS
to have been FUTILE and
misguided, why not acknow-
ledge their error manfully ?
Join in with us and let us
ADMINISTF,R TO THE
BEST OF' OUR UNIT-
ED ABILITY THE
WISEST LICENSE
LAW THAT CAN BE
FRAMED?
Respectfully,
THE HURON COUNTY BUSINESS
MEWS ASSOCIATION,

EAST WAWANOSR.
On December1.0th a happy event took
place at "Mount Home Farm," Pretty
Valley, Sask., when A1iss Jennie Sheill,
daughter of Mrs. Jane Sheill, formerly
of East Wawa),osh, was united in
marriage with Mr. Frank Haight, of
Luella, Sask., by the Rev. William
Clark, of Hart, Sask. The bride wore
a lovely gown of Copenhagen blue
satin-de•chene and entered the room to
the strains of the Wedding March play -
td by het- sister, Miss Bernice Sheill.
After a u. licious repast the young criuple
left amid a shower of rice and old hoots
for their home at "Riverdale Farm," a
short distance from the bride's former
home, where they will take up house-
keeping.

Poor Blood
is Responsible
for much sickness and suffer-
ing because its quality deter-
mines our resistive power.
With poor blood we are lan-
guid, susceptible to colds, lack
natural energy and ambition,
and the gradual decline of
strength makes prompt and
careful treatment necessary.
Drugs or alcohol cannot make
blood and must be avoided.
SCOTT'S EMULSION is nature's
grandest blood -maker because
of its wholesome medical nourishment,
so carefully predigested that it assimi-
lates
ssimi-
1ates without taxing digestion and
quickly increases the red corpuscles
of the blood, strengthens the organs
and tissues and upbuilds the whole
system.
Absolutely nothing compares with
SCOTT'S EMULSION to purify and en-
rich the blood to overcome or avoid
anaemia. It is totally free from al-
cohol or opiates and your health de-
mands the purity of Sco're's.

Levi Farrow, Desboro, Bruce Co.,
was here on a visit with his brother,
Willows Farrow. The latter returned
with him for a visit last week.
The local Board of Health met recent-
ly and wound up the business of the
year. Dr. Stewart, Medical Health
Officer, presented his report which was
adopted. Morris has a good Board who
look carefully and promptly after their
duties.
We are sorry to hear that Gilbert,
eldest son of Allan Speir, 4th line, who
is in the West with his brother, Alex.,
met with a serious accident which
might have easily resulted in fatal con-
sequences. He was lighting a fire in
the stove and mistook a can of gasoline
for coal oil and poured some of it on
the kindling. An explosion followed in
which Gilbert was severely burned from
which he has not yet recovered. The
house•and furniture was d+stroyed the
inmates losing everything. We hope
the patient will soon recover from the
accident.
Mr. McCurdy is still very ill.
Mr. and Mrs. Will Taylor entertained
their friends to a social time last week.

formerly of Morris, is very ill.
