AcHnoin intAL statistics issued by the
Ontario Bureau of Industries for 1893
elbow that the movement looking to a
ohenge from the prodnotion of wheat to
other more profitable commodities is still
going on in this province. The area de.
voted to spring wheat was less by 295,000
acres in '93 than in '92 and there was a
reduotion of 53,000 sores in the fall wheat
orop and 82,000 in that of barley. Dur-
ing the same time the area devoted tohay
was increased by 251,000 agree, 75,000 was
added to the oat Drop, 40,000 to corn, 15,-
000 to beano, 8,000 to buckwheat, 7,000
to turnips, and 5,000 to orohard and

THE city papers often poke fun at the
country press for the simple items
chronicled, but if you want pure wishy-
washy twaddle all a person bas to do is
to persue the, so called, society columns
of these critical journals. Mrs. A. gives
a tea and her dress has to be described
and the style she wears her hair. Mies
B. tae a party and the names of the
winners.of the social games are mention-
ed and so on through one paragraph after
another. If the same "literary" fire-
works were fired off in the rural press
from week to week the readers would
send the editor a whale to dine upon to
supply the deficient gray matter.
THERE is a move being made in several
quarters requesting that fire insnraooe
policies be made indisputable after two
years. We believe this is a proper thing
as it would obviate many a law suit,
make insurance companies look sharper
after the values of property insured and
prevent many a suspicious born -ant
owing to the foot that the policy is not
likely to give the insured profit enough to
run the risk of detection. As the law
is at present the bargain appears to be
very largely on one side with many
companies and after a policy bolder has
paid year after year and fire destroys his
premises he is often compelled to fight
for his just rights.

Miss Kato Longman is a young lady
of about 22 years of age, who lives with
her mother in the pretty little village of
Dondesboro', six Hiles from the town of
Clinton, Both aro well-known and.
highly esteemed by their many friends,
The Now Bra, having learned that Mies
,Longman bad been a great sufferer and
had mouldy been restored to health by
the timely fuse of a wolf-ltuown popular
remedy, dispatched a representative to
get the parbloulars of the ease. In reply
to the reporter's inquiries Mies Longman
said that if her experience might be the
means of helping some other sufferer,
she was quite willing that it should be
made nubile. "For a long time," she
said, "I was very poorly, I was weak, and
run down, and at times suffered pains in
my bank that were ahnply awful. My
blodd vas in a watery condition, and I'
was subject to spells of weakness to such
au extent that I could not step uj a door
stop to save my life. I doctored a great
deal for my sickness, but without avail,
At last, after . having frequently read
the New Era of aures effected by the use
of Dr. Williams' Fink Pills, I determined
to give them a trial. Tho 'result was
that my health soon began to return and
the pains and 'weakness left and I was.
again restored to strength." At this
moment Mrs. Longman entered, and be-
ing informed who the visitor was and
What was his mission, said : "Dr. Wil-
liams' Pink Pills are the greatest medi-
vine known. My daughter was so sick
that I feared she would die, and she con-
tinually grew weaker until she began the
use of Pink Pills, and they have cured
her, as she has not had a recurrence of
the trouble since." Miss Longman is
now the picture of health, and declares
that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are entitled
bo the credit. ' The New Era knows of
many others who have benefitted by this
remarkable remedy.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are a specific
and all diseases arising from an impover-
ished condition of the blood or a shatter-
ed condition of the nervousforces, such
as St. Vitus dance, locomotor ataxia,
rheumatism, paralysis, sciatica, the after
effects of la grippe, loss of appetite, head-
ache, dizziness, chronic erysipelas, sorofn-
le, eta They are also a specific for the
troubles peculiar' to the female system,
correcting irregularities, suppressions and
all forms of female weakness, building
anew the blood' and restoring the glow of
health to the pale and sallow oheeks. In
the case of men they offset' a radical cure
in all cases arising from mental worry,
overwork or excesses of any nature.
Dr. Williams' Pills are manufactured
by the Dr. Williams Medicine Company,
Brockville, Ant., and Schenectady, N. T.,
and are sold only in boxes bearing their
trade mark and wrapper printed in red
