STORMY WEATHER
HARD ON BABY
The stoseiy, blustery weathqr which
we have during February and
March is extremely hard on children,
Conditions make it necessary for the
mother to kdrep them in the house.
They are often confined to overheat-
ed badly ventilated rooms and catoh
colds which r9geek their whole system.
To guard agaptst this a box of Baby's
Own Tablets should be kept in the
house and an occasional dose given
the baby to keep his stomach and
bowels working regularly. This will
not fail to break up colds and keep
the health of the baby in good condi-
tion till the brighter days come along.
The Tablets are sold by medicine
dealers or by mail at 36 cents a box
from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co.,
Brockville, Ont.
FROM DULUTH
Dear Expositor: --The weather has
been very mild for some time but
h again becoming colder, and for the
week beginning Monday, the 31st, we
are promised up this way unsettled
and colder weather, with occasional
snow. As yet, 16 below zero holds
the record here for this season. For
the night of January 17th And morn-
ing of the 18th, the weather man pre-
dicted a told wave and 20 below zero.
We felt somewhat unnerved over this
forecast, as the weather had been so
unusually mild, and throw extra coal
into our stoves and furnaces and
awaited results, but one below was
the coldest for this wave here. The
weather forecaster excused himself
by stating the winds diverted the on-
coming/sold blast and its fringe hit
us. S we were not sorry for his
mistake.
Now comes the coal octupus at the
head of the Ickes with good news,
though delayed. Announcing a re-
duction from $14 per ton, the whole-
sale or dock price for two kinds of
soft coal, one being cut to $8.50, the
other $8.25. The Duluth retail price
is this price plus $2.75 per ton. Hard
coal prices, however, still remain
perched on their lofty seats with or
without stone and slate mixed in it.
Had the "Coal Octopus" made this
reduction on soft coal last October
it would have been much more ap-
preciated, and the consummer's pock-
etbook would not have been loosened
from so much needed coin, but at
that time the public were 'nearly
scared out of their wits by the omin-
ous warnings published freely in the
press that there probably would be a
dire calamity in not enough coal to
go around, even at fabulous figures.
I often wonder if some of these news-
paper corporations are not fed fel-
lows at times with profiteering barons
in various lines.
But digressing from the actions of
the "coal octupus" to the generally
prevailing mild weather. the big
story tellers are out with proofs.
Capt. Henry Cleveland, of the Park
Department; saw ,p singing squirrel
and lately % lock of Indigo Bunting
birds. A Mr. Upham saw a robin,
and another man claims seeing a snow
snake crawling up Eleventh Avenue
West recently. This is one bunch of
supposed truths, and all in this city.
It might have been that the snow -
snake man had imbided too freely of
moonshine, which is too much in evi-
dence at times, and resulting in the
cobwebs of disillusion getting tangled
across his optic nerves. Others have
come to the front with butterfly
proof. A Mr. Prof. reported seeing
one outside a barn window trying to
get in seven days ago. However, kis
-name is not proof that his veracity is
unimpeachable. ' A lady also reports
seeing one flying around in her wood-
shed several days, but the family cat
caught it and ate it. Had this un-
fortunate butterfly bided its time been
more discreet and waited fo?^more
seasonable weather and got outside,
it probably would not have found its
way into the interior of a cat's
anatomy.
I was very much interested in Mr.
Powell'a letter in The Expositor, on
"The Old Boys at Play." I imagine
I can see Richard Smith's chained
bear by Jimmy Weir's stable, and the
various breeds of dogs the day Rich-
ard and the bear got mad and went
on the warpath, barking, yelping,
gestin
rushing and retreating' as the bear R
charged first one, then another, and
again in imaginatign I see Dr. Cole-
man, then mayor, heariing the awful
uproar, coming along and command-
ing Richard to put the bear away.
Again I see the owner give the bear
a wallop with the chain, which so
enraged the Latter that he acted as
if he wanted to clean up things, re-
sulting in the Mayor and spectators
getting behind Dr. Campbell's fence
for safety.
I also imagine I can see Assessor
Edward Cash trying to get the count
of the two dogs of the long ago, lock-
ed in the cowshed, below the tracks,
by their owner in order to avoid hav-
ing them put on the assessment roll.
I hear their barks, then their yelps
of pain as their enraged owner put
the boots to them to make them keep
still. But he lost the day when he
was forced to unlock byrthe assessor.

Reading in Mr. Powell's letter, tie
experience of Edward Cash of asses-
sing those two dogs in Seaforth in
the days of "Auld Lang Syne," brings
to my mmoory an adventure occuring
to one of McKillop's worthy pioneers
in the days of long_ago. He was
acting in the capacity of assessor
for McKillop township. The day of
the incident he was en duty in what
was termed the German settlement.
This particular farmer's buildings
were far back from the entrance gate.
The snow was deep. Shortly after
cpening the gate the owner's over-
zealous dog came bounding down the
pathway, and in a most aggressive
manner disputed the right of way.
The assessor spoke kindly to him in
order to make friends, but it was of
no avail. The dog tried repeatedly to
close in on his legs and bite him, and
despite the constant swinging of •t
tin tube and sundry kicks launched
at hint, the dog persisted in fresh at-
tacks. Relucantly, but in order to
protect himself from serious injury,
the assessor pulled out of his pocket
a pistol, aimed, tired and a pugnacious
dog followed in the wake of his an-
cestors. Hastily kicking away the
oi'ow by the side of the path, a good
sized hole was mad€ and the remains
of an over -zealous canine was thrown
in and the snow kicked back in place.
It seems that the farmer or any ntem-
her of the family were not aware of
the late encounter, or had even heard
the shot, so the assessor did not wish
to carry any bad news or cause any
grief, so he did not refer to his
thrilling experience with his late ad-
versary and the disastrous results to
the latter. So with other items, the
farmer was assessed as owning one
dog. No .doubt the latter's owner
wondered where his doggie had gone,

However, we will grant this, that
good feeding and care will do a Brea
deal, but you can't get economical
returns from a poorly -bred steer, no
matter what feed you put into hint.
'rhe Kopas steer which was so ad-
mired at the Winter Fair at Guelph
recently was from a very ordinary
cow, but sired by a real bull. I ant
sure Mr. Kopas would never hate
won the championship If he had used

Just remember this: The offspring
is not going to be any better than
the sire. 1f you use a measly little
runt of a grade bull, that'd narrow,
upstanding, and eteat-hearted, don't
expect to top tise market with his
steer calves. Use them for lertillzer
or chicken scrap.
On the other hand, if you use a
low -set, blocky, pure-bred bull, one

you can expect calves of a sttYtilur

How a Boy Made Maple Sugar.
A Vermont boy, sledding one day
early last spring, tested a tree with
his jackknife to see if the sap was
running. It was, and he became en-
thusiaellc about joining a maple -
sugar club. But when he consulted
his father he found the equipment
Sus not available.
He went to the agricultural teach-
er in his school from whom he learn -
eel whore he could borrow a pan. But
he could not get any buckets. How-
ever, with his father's help, he made
some troughs out of basswood. He
cut down some trees, sawed the
trunks in sections about two feet
long, split them in half, and then,

ing their weary bodies with the new,
rich, red blood that promptly trana-
forms them into healthy attractive
women. This new, red blood is sup-
plied by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
which reaches every organ and every
nerve in the body. Through the use
of these pills thousands of women
have found benefit when suffering
from anaemia, indigestion, general
weakness and those ailments from
which women alone suffer. Among
the many women who tell of the
good Dr'. Williams' Pink Pills have
done them is Mrs. L. Hicks, Round
Hill, N, S., who says:—"I became very
much run down in health; my blood
seemed weak and watery, my strength
failed, and 1 was so easily tired
that my work was a burden. I had
often read about Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills and decided to try them, and I
can truly say, that after using three
boxes I found myself gaining, and
under a further use of the pills all
my old-time energy and vitality was
restored. Out of my own experience
I can strongly recommend this medi-
cine."
You can get Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills through any dealer in medicine

boxes for $2,50 from The Dr. Wil-

On Pries
Present and Future
We stand, as it were, on the threshold of an era of a general de-
,
predation in prices. We wish to mmmfjte clear the policy of this store—
present and futurer.in the coming price reductions.
Anticipating as we did the present downward tendency of prices,
" e did not wait until after Christmas, but early in December started our
(treat Stock Reducing Sale, and gave Christmas shoppers, who were
11 °reed to buy, the benefit of prices, even lower than the new standard.
To -day the great bulk of our Stock has been cleared out and we are
in at position to buy the New Goods, which are a decided improvement in
i uality at the new reduced prices.
Futhermdre, as soon as there is a reduction in price in the manufac-
tare of any merchandise, we immediately make a corresponding reduc-
tilen in our sto e, and you will be very pleasantly surprised to see how
twiny substantial permanent reductions have already been made,
<i,ecially in cotton goods, which are at present so much in demand.
We make these reductions willingly and in the spirit of fair play,
\'en where the reduction spells a certain loss to us. For after all why
should the merchant not bear his share of the losses of `readjustment,
as well as the farmer or the mec'hani'c.
We are patriotic enough to accept our share of the losses that are
necessary to get Canada back on a solid business basis and on the road
to that prominence and prosperity that this country is bound to event-
ually realize.
The one message this advertisement is calculated to convey is that
in this store goods are and will continue to be constantly and promptly,
reduced according to the lowest market prices, consistent with good qual-
ity. To the end that we agailj demonstrate the truth of our old slogan—
No matter what conditions are, you can always buy better at Stewart's.

THE BALLOONISTS LET A LITTLE
FORTUNE IN FURS GET AWAY
• FjLOM THEM UP NORTH
Although the United States navy
balloonists let a fortune slip through
their fingers through the premature
publishing of their adventure by the
Canadian and American newspapers,
thereby depriving them of their
chance for a big "scop;+, they had
quite a tidy fortune within their
grasp during their second night from
Mattice ie' the shape of a big tobog-
gan full of raw furs which was be-,
ing brought out for shipment by a
party of trappers. It appears that
the trappers were joist a few hours
ahead of the balloonists on their
journey in to Mattice and had arrang-
ed their camp for the night in almost
the same spot that the balloonists
chose when it came time for them to
"tie up" for rest, and while one of
the trappers went back over the trail
a couple of miles to look for a pair of
snow shoes which had fallen off their
load, he spied the balloon party
hurrying south. Farrell in the lead,
then the other officers in their naval
uniforms accompanied by doge and
guide. The trapper's mind travelled
from the thought of officers -to the
load of furs which contained d large
number of skins which were contra -
hand; and supposing that they
were being chased by game wardens,
he rushed back to his companions
who were getting comfortably, settled
for the night. After a hurried coa-
sultation, they dragged their equip-
ment a few yards off the trail into
the forest, covered it over with brush
and snow and waited until the party
following had passed by. Their con-
sternation was great when they
found the party camping on their
chosen location, and leaving their
buried treasures intact hurried
further into the bush, travelling over
twelve miles westward before call-
ing a halt for the night. Upon find-
ing at daylight that they were not
being pursued, they cautiously re-
turned to their cache, only to find
the supposed game wardens' party
had broken camp and continued on
their journey southward. Cutting
across to their hidden toboggan
they found that the balloonists had
travelled over, across and all around
their buried treasure, had even pull-
ed away some branches with which
to kindle their night's lire, but had
failed to dislodge enough to expose
what was lying underneath. They
were, therefore at a loss to know
just what kind of game wardens
could be on their trail when they did
not stop to investigate the cause
of such recently upturned snow,
brush, etc., and it was only after
arriving at Mattice that they dis-
covered the real mission of the men
whom they at first supposed were
officers who were going to maks a
clean-up of their twelve thousand
dollar shipment of skirts.
