We take this opportunity of announcing to the Public
that we have moved to the new premises as mentioned
above. In this introduction it isn't necessary to make any
rectifications of our prices, in certain branches of our busi-
ness. Notwithstanding the big advance in all lines of
material, our prices will be found much more reasonable
than years ago. We've appreciated the liberal patronage
extended to us, and in return have endeavored to serve
you to the best of our ability, conscientiously. Though
somewhat crowded, in a few days we will have our stock
arranged, and a lot of new goods will be sold at close
prices. Our expenses being less than half they were for-
merly, we can afford to give still closer prices. Drop in
and see us, whether you bay or not.

--Mr. Smalley, the American corres-
pondent of the London Tithes, in a let-
ter to his paper, says the American
people "are beginning to regret the
whole Philippine adventure." The
reason given for the feeling is the fact
that the adventure has cost millions
of looney and many lives, and there
is no prospect of any adegnate return
for the outlay.

-Education is an expensive thing,
there is no getting around that fact.
It is likely, too, to grow more expen-
sive, but until we pay more for edu-
cation than we do for liquor and to-
bacco which we would be better to
do without, it cannot be said that the
burden is beyond reason. Canada
spends about $13,000,000 on education
and about $14,000,000 as mere tales on
liquor and tobacco per year.
* *
ability was concentrated In Liberal
politicians, and that if 11ir. Rosa was
removed the province would go to
smash. It was predicted that "cala-
mity" would surely follow the defeat
of Mr. Ross and the installation of a
Conservative Government.
Now, after a year's work, the real
truth is apparent. The government
of the province has fallen into honest
hands ; men of :ability and energy are
at the heart of affairs. Nothing has
gone to smash, and the predicted
"calamity" has not appeared in sight.
The fact is, that business -like methods
have been introduced, and Col. Mathe-
son has brought down a clear, easily
understood statement of the finances,
and now Ontario knows just where
she strands financially.
The surplus, $020,100, has not been
obtained by troy juggling with figures
or sources of revenue. One important
step helped it, and that was the busi-
ness -like collection of the revenues
and the insistt'tncc of all moneys due
to the province being paid. The reve-
nues are made up from the regular
sources, and the expenditure has not
been stinted in the right and proper
directions, In addition to this there
has been a reduction of $229,000 in the
debt, railway aid certificates and an-
nuities having been paid off to that
amount. It, will thus be seen that,
owing to the wise administration of
the finances, not only has the public
service been improved, but the pro-
vince is better off by a sun' of $850,000
than it was this time last year,
-There are now in the Province of
Ontario 91 judges made up as fol-
lows :-
Snpreme Court 6
Admiralty Court 1
Court of Appeal 5
High Court 11
County and District Courts 68
Commenting on this, the Bruce Her-
ald says :-"Yet with alt this machin-
ery for the administration of justice,
judgments are frequently reserved
and months elapse before the suitor
can ascertain the result of his action.
Why should this be the case ?"

-Frank G. Carpenter, writing in
the Chicago Record -Herald of the
American invasion of the Canadian
West, says there are more than 200,000
Americans there now, and 80,000 more
are expected this coming season. His
estimate is that these incoming Ame-
ricans bring on the average a thou-
sand dollars each into the country,
which would aggregate by the end of
this season $280,000,000, But the ef-
fect of the movement will not be con-
fined to one of an economic nature.
Along the Prince Albert branch of the
Canadian Pacific, a distance of 170
miles,; 90 per cent. of the occupied
lands are said to he owned by Ameri-
cans, So great an invasion must have
political as well as economic effects,

-Prof. Goldwin Smith in the Week-
ly Sun says :-Chicago is scared at the
prevalence of crime; as well she may
he when she counts one hundred and
fifty murders in one year, some of
them of a very ghastly kind. In that
Imperial seat of commerce, it seems,
no passenger of either sex is safe.
▪ There is talk of a Vigilance Co'nmit-
tee, like that which quelled ruffianism
in San Francisco, The sources of the
evil specified are the weakness of the
police force and the unregulated state
Of the liquor traffic. But there is an-
other source which, though not speci-
fied, is probably the greatest of all.
Of the population of Chicago, only a
fraction is now American. The rest is
alien, coming largely from countries
not self -governed and the people of
which are not imbued with American
respect for lase. When Canada is bid-
den to open her arms to all•eorners
and deem herself blessed in mere in-
crease of population, whatever its
quality, let her consider the ease of
Chicago.

A REAL SURPLUS.
LiFE INSURANCE.
its a family can Moro readily become
the cause or infection of other mem-
bers confined to the close association of
the family members only.
It is extremely important to remem-
ber that advanced consumptive pa-
tients who are able to go about, per-
haps able to wort: at their ordinary
calling in the office or factory when
ignorant or careless, constitute the
greatest danger to the health of the
community. They roust bo considered
as the Most frequent cause of infec-
tion. The careless, ignorant, or help-
less consumptive, when confined to
bad, can do little more than infect his
room, but the advanced patient, able
to follow some calling, can, if he is
careless, seater 7,000,000,000 haccilli
every day with the greatest ease. Of
all tuberculosis patients, he should be
the most carefully instructed and
should be most deeply impressed with
the fact that carelessness in the dispo-
sal of the sputum is dangerous to him-
self as well as his neighbors,
The Ottawa Government has ap-
pointed a Commission to investigate
the whole system of life insurance in
Canada. This has been rendered ne-
cessary because of the uneasiness
caused by the discovery of fraud and
dishonesty in the management of
some United States companies. It.
may be that the Canadian companies
are all right. There may be nothing
wrong; the policy -holders may be
perfectly safe, and their interests pro-
perly protected. At the same time, it
is possible that in this age of selfish-
ness and greed, shareholders and di-
rectors in Canada (like some in the
United States) may be gathering more
than their just share of the profits,
and thus the policy -holders may be
minus their full share. The Dominion
Government has done well to appoint
a Commission, and an investigation
will clear the air and remove suspicion
-that is, if the powers of the Com-
mission are wide enough to enable
then to do their work thoroughly.
Then if there are serious defects found
or if shady methods are employed,
legislation that will protect the policy-
holder must promptly follow.
That the subject is an important one
will he seen from the following statis-
tics, gathered from the report of the
Inspector of Insurance :-
The total of Life• Insurance policies
in force in Canada amounts to the
immense sum of $587,873,767. The
number of lives insured is 083,021.
The yearly premiums paid to the cont.
parries is $19,969,324. They carry on
this vast business on the cotnpare-
tively small capital stock paid up of
$3,843,707. The amount in dividends
paid to the holders of this stock was,
in 1904, $217,719. The general expen-
ses of management came to $5,018.758.
The payments to policy holders
amounted to 56,054, 703. Out of every
hundred dollars received by the com-
panies in 1904, they paid to policy
holders $30.72; general expenses, $25.-
46 ; reserve, $42.72.
The first year's financial statement
of the Whitney Government has been
published, and it should be gratifying
to all interested in the prosperity of
the province. There has been no jug-
, gling with figures to find a snrpins
where none existed, but there has
been a businesslike administration of
the affair;; of the province. Instead of
the frantic efforts of a dying Govern-
ment to keep itself in power, there has
been an honest effort on the part of
the Government to prove itself -worthy
of the confidence reposed in it. The
re ult of the year's financial opeta-
I tion is a surplus of $020,100. This is a,
REAL Surplus, and in this respect it
differs from the mythical, intangible
`thing that was flaunted before the
{ eyes of the electors (hiring the closing
{ years of the 'Ross administration.
When it was seen that the days of
the ROSS Government were numbered,
Liberal newspapers began to circulate
that thele were no men of ability in
the Conservative ranks, "no Cabinet
timber"; that Mr. Whitney could ,se-
cure no amen so capable of handling
the n;:ait:a of the province as G. W.
Ross et al. This wa'S tantamount to
tiling that ell the Intelligence

THE MODEL SCHOOLS.
-Mr. Kelehon , of the Heusall
Foundry proposes to pay the village
in full and remove his plant to some
other place, as business has not been
a success,
-Temperature in the Yukon was 70
below zero recently. The stage line
WAS closed up because the horses
freeze their lungs. For three 'days
the temperature ranged from 05 to 82
below zero.
-Mr. N. McLean, Arran, has one of
the largest working horses in the
county of Bruce. The horse is as fine
a speciman as one could wish to see.
He is 6 years old, stands 19 bands high
and weighs about 1800 pounds. Mr.
McLean was offered 5300 for him.
-A young lady near Owen Sound
quarrelled with her intended and sent
back all the letters and little gifts she
had received from hire. He, not to be
out -done, sent her a half dozen boxes
of face powder and with them a note
explaining that he had probably car-
ried away that much on his coat
sleeve since their aequaiutance be-
gan.
In view of the fact that Model
Schools may soon disappear, the fol-
lowing figures regarding them may
be of interest.
Model Schools in Ontario 57
Students on roll 1 122
Government grant. $9,1550
Municipal grant $8,344
Cost of maintenance. $23,301
Should these be done away with, as
intimated, more Normal Schools will
be needed, and just now the Ontario
Government is made weary by depu-
tations, each pointing otit the
"superior advantages that their parti-
cular town possesses, for the location
of such an institution." At the pre-
sent time only Toronto, London and
Ottawa possess these institutions.
Te maintain the Model Schools the
Government grant is $150 melt,
though to five, Berlin, Bracebridge,
Parry Sound, Rat Portage and Sault
Ste Marie, $300 is given, making a
total of $9,150. From the pupils
themselves $5,007 is received, and the
municipalities snake up the balance,
the grant ranging from $20 to $215.
The students in attendance, "Model -
Res" and "Modelers," as they are
termed, :recording to the section of the
Province, numbered in 1004 1,122 of
whom 205 were males and $27
females.
PREVENTION OP CONSUMPTION.

article by Lr. Knopf, of New York,
which is to be found in the Medical
