We all know how it counts in the work of this busy world — forcing success where least expected. Well - fitting, well - made clothes are a proven im- portant factor in adding to a man's personality, just as, contra -wise, an ill-fitting, ill -made suit will draw off from the most pronounced personality. , Personality is a mark of every suit and coat made by the House of Hobber- lin.

Brussels Council HURON AND THE CANADA TEMPERANCE ACT For the second time in the history of Huron the Canada Temperance Act, or better known as the Scott Act, is in force througbout the county, having come into effect on May 1. There was some doubt in the minds of the Oounty'officials and temperance workers as to who would be respons- ible for enforcing the law after Mayp1, but the new board of License Com- missioners have cleared the air by sending to the County Council a state- ment of what syould be expected from the County and what the Government would do for the County, Sections 142to150, inclusive, of the Ontario Liquor Act, with the amend- ment of 1914, give direct instructions, and the County Council have accepted the estimate of the board and will now do its beet to have the law impartial- ly enforced. All the fines and fees collected under the Canada Temperance Act are paid into the County Treasury and like- wise all expenses are paid by the County Treasury and should there be any deficiency at the end of the year the Provincial Government will bear one-half the expense. It is not likely there will be any shortage however, as there is now on hand in the Treas- ury a surplus of $4,400, which was left over when the Act was in force 25 years ago. All the County Constables will be required by the Council to assist the Inspectors to strictly enforce the law, and the temperance organizations in every municipality promise to stand behind the officers in the fulfilment of their duties.
