Christmas Stamps
The postoffice department invites
attention to the postal rule which does
not admit of the affixing on the face
or address side of letters or other mail
matter, of Christmas, charity or other,
similar stamps. Such stamps, however,
may be placed on the back of letters
or other mail platters, ad stickers, pro-
vided they do not resemble postage
stamps in form and design, and do
not bear numerals or indication of value.
THE AFTER EFFECTS
OF THE "FLU"
Has Left Many Vlesk Hearts.
This terrible scourge line left in its
train weak hearts, shattered nerves,
and a goneeal run-down condition of the
system.
Thoustsnds of people, throughout Can-
ada, are now needing themely use of
Milburn's Heart and Nerve Pills to
counteract the effects of this .trouble
which a short time ago swept our country.
Mrs. C. C. Palmer Keppel, Sask.,
writes:—"I wish to infcrm you of the
great Food Milburn's Heart and Nerve
Pills did for me. After a bad attack of
theC"Spanish Influenza," my heart and
nerves were left in a very bad condition
I got two boxes of your pills and 1 mus,
say they • ire the beat I ever este!, find
have taken a great many d ficreni. k.ude

The C. C. 1., commencement exercis-
es were held last Friday .night in the
town hall before an audience that tax-
ed the capacity of the huildin.g. Priz-
es and diplomas were distributed and
the scholars of the school gave a very
fine entertainment, prominent on the
list were several well trained drills.
An amateur play did credit to both
teachers alnd pupils. Mr. J. W. Treleav-
en ,B. A. is to be congratulated on the

plete program was published last week,
Road not as good Now
M. W. C. Bows, who has just retired
from the Grand Trunk, after 35 con-
secutive years of service, has some in-
teresting reminisences to tell in regard
to his experiences. For 33 years he
was foreman of the Clinton secional
division of the London & Bruce line.
His first wage was $1.15 per day of 10
hours, and there have been to his re-
collection about 15 changes in pay since
that time when, asked as to the condi-
tion of the road at present as compared
with former years, Mr. Brown states
that it is not in nearly as good condition
as formerly. Mr. Brown is talking of
taking a trip to •the old country this
spring,

Lresshould "cut out the rough stuff,"
Coon showsparticularly have been put
on inHanover in which vulgarity abound
ed, and if the management would only
realize it, it is "bad business," for the
element is very small who appreciate
some of the stuff that "Smart -Alex,"
comedians essay to "put across." A
production docs not need to be "high-
brow" to be good, in fact too much
of that class of entertainment cannot
he staged successfully In the smaller'
towns, but there is n legitimate place
for bright, smart .dialogue and clever
comedy, and in which the general at-
mosphere of the piece is sweet and
clean. Give the public today attractive
entertainment, put some pep and ginger
into it and some hutoan nature, but
eliminate what is coarse rind vulgar.

Rather Disappointed
Local Veteraps were rather disap-
pointed to learn that tate $35,000,000
which Canada, was to receive as her
share. of the Canteen profits, was more
,or less of a fairy tale. Some of the
Veterans lead already figured on what
they would do with their share of the
profits,,
Christmas Gifts

of the Clinton Knitting Co., had a big
night at their Club rooms and during

strating power farming will be shown

The Finance Minister will go Back too
in our Santa Claus wishes, we noted
that the Councillors would like an ac-
clamation, but we made an oversight
in leaving the Finance Minister, Coun-
cillor .McMurray's name out. This was
_ unintential on The New Era's part, and
e we hope if there is no acclamation,
e 'Coup. McMurray will head the poll.
He is a good level -treaded councillor
• 'and should be returned.

INSTITUTE REPORT
Durham ' Chronicle—It isn't good
business to expect something for noth-
ing, yet most newspaper offices, we
presume, have a class around then
that are often or always looking for
free advertising. A person has no
iilore right tca. expect free advertising
titana newspaper man has. to expect
a Merchant to give flim a pound of tea
or a bar of soail for nothing, The
publisher of a, newspaper has to make
his living frothree sources of'lncomes
subscriptions, advertising, and job work.
When he gives away one or the other
of these he is giving away part of his
living. The individual or the society
who seeks publicity through a news-
paper is doing so with the expee1511( n
of gaining suinefhieg by it and has a
right to pay for tine-SC1viees. \Vr, cer-
tainly'disapprove of the practice of s5111d
ing in advertising thrntiah cors esilouJ-
ents in order, to get it lir nothing,
We give small local 'advertising at an
exceedingly, low rate p td onyx+n wh,r
Miltakei.lne trouble lir think still kn1w
ue should be paid for advertising.

The follawine list gives the names
of students that have gotten fifty per
cent or over of the aggregate; marks
' on the full terns examination. Some
pupils who have missed part of the
examination through illness are not
ranked. In all cases reports have been
sent to the parents showing the stand-
ing of the pupil in each subject These
reports should be carefully studied for
ithe future guidance of pupils and par-
ents in the planning of home work.
