"Investment" IT must appeal to the sound common sense of every thinking man or woman, that the return from an investment is in al- most direct ratio to the risk. Stock speculation, mining, and other similar ventures promise big returns, and involve big risk. Savings deposits pay small dividends in interest—but they pay it. Safe, sure, certain—at regular intervals your interest is paid in cash ; and, your money is still there, to be given back to you at once, when required. It is this comfortable feeling of security that has induced many shrewd investors to forego the attraction of large profits on their money, offered by other forms of investment, and caused them to keep substantial sums on deposit in a chartered Bank, where the Dividend is sure ; paid every six months, and the' prin. cipal available whenever required. THE BANKOF HAMILTON invites investment deposits and is prepared to receive them on most favorable terms. BANK 0r; O. P1 SMITH, Agent w p W nghnm JUDOR QASSR1.$1 REPORT. The report of Judge Cassels on the Marine Department has reached the Advance office, Much was ascert'aid- ed, but a great deal more was not al- lowed to see the tight, Judge Cassels no doubt did well as far as ho went, but the enquiry was limited to the sins of lesser marine officials, The former Deputy Minister, Col, Gour-' dean, agents of the depaz'tntent at Quebec and St, John, the chief com- missioner of lights, Commander Spain, Inspectors .O'Farrell and Schmidt, and some thirty other officials and em- ployees are condemned or censured, for various offences or improper pro- ceedings, The commissioner also finds that the patronage system, has led to greatly excessive prices, and that $100,000 a year may be saved in the department, by its abolition. That the government paid $1,000 each for diaphones, which would;have afforded the eontraotor 100 per cent, profit if sold for $870 each. That the charter for the King Ed- ward steamship at $125 per day was, improperly changed to $1S0 per day, whereby the contractor got $6,600 to which he had no right. That some 80 men, who were not needed, were employed at the Halifax dockyards during the late election. That the patronage system in Hali- fax was intensified by the shameful interference of the late members for the riding. That the Merwin and Brooks con- tracts were absolutely without excuse. That the fyles of the department were mutilated after the inquiry be- gan. That papers were destroyed which were valuable evidence. That agent Gregory exacted 5 per cent. commission on government con- tracts under his j uisdiction. That Inspector Schmidt took bribes, knowing they were bribes. That the. Deputy Minister had sil- verware entered free of duty for his own use, on the representation that it was for the public service. The Huntingdon Gleaner (Liberal) says :—"Wherever Judge went from Ottawa to Halifax he found men who used their offices to enrich themselves. Officials endorsed accounts that were grossly overcharged and shared in the plundering of the public chest. Worse - than direct stealing is the destruction of documents that would have thrown light on the extent of the robberies. One go-between, a Mr. Mervin, a friend of a Cabinet Minister, pocketed at least $40,000 commission on goods he ordered. To allege, as is being done, that Mr. Brodeur did not know what was going on in his department is to declare Jae is an imbecile. With the revelations of Judge Cassels' re- port before him, titling of mismanage- ment of public affairs and of syste- matic robbery, he ought to have the decency to resign." —Canada's national debt increased $38,000,000 in 1008. —A bill introduced in the Pennsyl- vania Legislature provides for the payment by the state of $50,000 as a reward to the man who first succeeds in discovering it cure for tuberculosis, The act specifies that the cure must be as effective as is the anti -toxin now administered in cases of diphtheria. —Although Edison does not really need to work, for he has reaped boun- tifully from his inventions, yet he cannot cease. It is generally' under- stood that he is at work on three schemes, which he, hopes yet to see accomplished. One of these is the ex- traction of power direct from coal, This is done at present by way of steam or gas, but there is a great waste in these methods. Edison be- lieves he will yet discover the secret. The second is in the use of cement. He is said to be devising a plan for building a whole house with several rooms by running the cement all into the moulds at once. The third effort of his great inventive mind is the "storage battery." A few mbnths ago he intimated that this task was completed, and it is said that the long -hoped for storage battery will soon be placed on the market, This Will be regarded as one of his greatest inventions. INDIGESTION ENDS. You can eat anything your stomach craves without fear of a ease of Indi- gestion or Dyspepsia, or that your food will ferment or sour on your stomach if you will occasionally take a little Diapepsin after eating. Your meals will taste good, and anything you eat will be digested nothing can ferment or turn into acid or poison or stomach gass which causes Belching, Dizziness, a feeling of fulness after eating, Nausea, Indi- gestion (like a lump of lead in stom- ach) Biliousness, Heartbern, Water brash, Pain in stomach and intestines or other symptoms. Headaches from the stomach orb ab- solutely unknown where this effeetive remedy is used. 1)iapepsin really does all the work of a healthy stomach. It digests your meals when your stoma itch can't. ' Each triangula will digest all the food you can eat and leave nothing to ferment or sour. Get a large 50 -cent case of Pape's Di- apepsin from your druggist and start taking to -day and by tomorrow. you will actually brag about your healthy, strong stomach,for you then eat anys thing and everything yott want with- out the slightest diseonifort or misery. and every partfcle of impurity and tinethat ggiug to be carriedlaway With- out the use of laatatives or any other assistance. Heavily Fined., Eight Stratford botelkeepers wire caught in violation of the law recent ly, by selling in prohibited hours, It cost them in all, $032. It does not al.. ways pay to break the law. Salary Increased, The vote for civil government, that is .the salaries at Ottawa, shows an increase of $1,874,070.50, Tho civil ser- vice commission requires $30,175. Two new county court judges are ask- ed for Ontario. Is Your Corn Troublesome ? Why not cure it—erradieate it with Putnam's Corn Extractor? No pain or sore—"Ptitnam'e" is a guaranteed success, try It, Insurance Paid. An inquest was held at Kintail on Friday, when evidence was taken to clear up the ugly rumors that hovered over the burning of Neil Campbell's house and barn in Ashfield. The re- sult of the investigation gives Me, Campbell his insurance, hut the direc- tors decided to deduct $100 from the amount called for by the policy. A Pioneer Gone.' The passing away of Thos. Wilson, 12th con., Huron, leaves a vacancy in the ranks of the Orange Association and the township of Huron mourns the loss of another pioneer. As sec- retary of the Huron Tp. Agricultural society for over 30 years few men were closer to the public and the faithful discharge of his duties will go down in history. To Move Off A Cold. Cough mixtures dope a cold, but don't cure. Above all else, keep the bowels regular and stimulate the ele- ininating organs. More valuable than any cough syrup -are Dr. Hamilton's Pills. They clear the system of every trace of cold—the dull headache, ach- ing limbs, and cough disappears. Take the pills before retiring, they work while you sleep. and by morn- ing your cold is broken and passes quickly away. All dealers sell Dr. Hamilton's Pills in 25e boxes. License To Drink. A peculiar Bill is now before the Washington State Legislature. If it passes, liquor drinkers will be forced to carry licenses, embellished with their photographs and other data of identification, and anyone will be per- mitted to engage in the traffic with- out the payment of fees. Licenses to drink anything stronger than ginger pop and the various other "stickIess" concoctions will cost $5 a year. This Bill makes the drinker secure a license, instead of the seller. New Regulations. The G. T. R. has issued a circular to conductors and brakemen, instruct- ing thein not to allow on trains per- sons afflicted with acontagious dis- ease. The circular also says :—"Parti- cular attention is called to a desire to discourage the habit of expectorating in public places. It is the conductor's duty in case of an offence of this nature to point out to the offender that he is breaking the law. It is also the conductor's duty to inform the offender that if the offence is repeated that he is liable to a fine of $40 and costs." Are You Sleepless, Nervous ? Two horrors crowded into one life— the product of poor digestion and a poisoned system. There is just one cure for this terrible condition, plenty of food—but. mind you, food properly digested ; that's the difficulty, to im- prove the digestive power of the stomach. Get rich nutritious blood, strengthen the system and drive out poisons, then comes vitality, endur- ance, power. Ferrozone does all this and more, it makes sick people well. weak people strong, changes °'nerves" and insomnia into robust health. Take Ferrozone and health is yours. 50c at all dealers, Quarantine Raised. The quarantine which has for so Iong been strictly maintained between Canada and the United States, on account of the outbreak of foot and mouth disease, is at last being remov- ed. There has been satisfactory evi- dence that the disease is now under control, if not absolutely stamped out, and everything in the animal line, ex- cept cattle, may be allowed entry. During the existence of the strict quarantine regulations, the greatest trouble was with ladies, who tried to smuggle dogs, cats and other pets through continually. Now the regu- lations have been relaxed, this diffi- culty is over, and hackmen are carr y- ing tourists across, while even such commodities as hides, horns, meats, straw and hay are allowed to cross. One Bad Mistake. Is Frequently Made By The Wisest Of Winghani People. It's a serious mistake to neglect backache. Backache is the first syrn- ptorn of kidney ills. Fatal complica- tions may follow. Booth's Kidney Pills act quiekly to overcool° kidney ills, do not delay until too late, it May- mean naymean niabetss, 13rights Disease. Read what T. Dewitt Holmes of Wingham, Ont,., sayst—"r hdd felt miserable for some time with lumbago. It had set - tied across the small of my batik and in the region of the kidneys. I ecoid not stoop Over at times and when 1 would sit for any length of time I could scarcely get up, The urine plainly told the disordered state be the kidneys, and although; I had tried sev- eral everal kidney remedies I eould find to - thing to give the desired results until on recommend of our druggist, .Mr. Me1Cibbon, I need 13ooth's Kidney Pills.
