(Kingston Standard,) If we have a Canadian navy built in Canada it means the construction of ship -building plants at an enormous outlay and the annual expenditure of millions in keeping up ships that will bo useless, because there is absolutely no danger that Canada will ever be attacked by a foreign power. It means also that our expenditure in building ships will be continuous, for the owners of the ship -building plants must keep building new warships to make these plants pay, It means also that contractors inter- ested in supplies for ships will use every influence to keep the plants connuously in operation. It means, further, that there will be in the officers of these ships and in other employees connected with the navy a class of citizens whose living will depend on keeping the thing go- ing and an talking war. It means in addition more chances for graft in a department that has already shown its ability to take ad- vantage of every opportunity of that kind. It means an ever growing influence in favor of war and against that peace Which Canada has had for nearly a century. For the sum of between twenty and thirty million dollars the Welland Canal could be depended so as to give us an enduring waterway, sufficiently deep to enable steamers of large draught to come down to the St. Lawrence to the place of transhipment —sufficiently large to insure that for all time Canada 'than be able to con- trol and hand handle her own grain shipments without fear that they'may be diverted to American ports. And yet this work has been delayed be- cause the Government has not felt that it could spare the necessary money. We are now told, however—told in a free -and -easy, a take -it -for -granted manner—that we are to have a Canadian navy at an initial expendi- ture of $20,000,000, a subsequent yearly expenditure of $3,000,000 and a further subsequent expenditure of $20,000,000 or $30,000,000 when the navy now to be constructed shall be thrown away as it must be in the very nature of things, when the ships have become obsolete, as ships—especially war ships —have a very unhappy 'faculty of be- coming. IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT. Walton MoKibbon desires to an- nounce to the readers of the Advance that they have secured the agency for Parisian Sage, the marvelous dandruff cure and delightful hair dressing. Walton McKibbon is glad to state that Parisian Sage is rigidly guaran- teed hair restorer. It cures dandruff in two weeks b y kill- ing the dandruff microbes ; it stops falling hair ; it cures all scalp diseases, or money back. It is a most pleasant hair dressing, especially for ladies, as it makes the hair soft and lustrous. The price is only 50c a large bottle at W. MoKib- bon's or by express, all charges pre- paid from Giroux Mfg. Co,, Fort Erie, Ont, HIGH PRICES. (Farmers' Advocate) Prices appear to be soaring skyward. Values of farm products are typified by dollar wheat, seven -to -eight -cent hogs, and twenty -five -cent creamery butter ; while before us are items from three newspapers, noting or pre- dicting increases in cement, shoes, rubber and brooms. Gold must be plentiful thus to decrease the amount of merchandise that can be purchased with a given quantity of it. Either that, or else prodigal consumption of necessities and luxuries is outstripping production, aided though it be by in- vention. Probably both factors—i.e., cheap gold, and increased ratio of consumption to supply—enter into the equation. Withdrawal of energy from rural to urban employment by artificial economic conditions, produc- ed by tariffs and otherwise, also oper- ates to increase prices of agricultural products, because the cost of produc- ing them is increased ; while some lines of manufactured goods, such as cement, are raised in price by com- bines ; again, in other lines, produced in sufficient quantity to meet the home demand in the country of production, prices are raised by the simple oper- ation of protective tariffs, without necessarily any combination at all.

In one of his recent speeches at Halifax Mr, R. L. Borden made pass- ing reference to the Government's grotesque miscalculations in the cost of the Transcontinental Railway. He pointed out that the Eastern Division, which was to .cost at most $50,000,000 or $00,000,000, will cost at least $180,- 000,000, and that we shall need to give at least $13,000,000 in cash towards the cost of the Western Division. Have You Bronchial Catarrh ? It is easily recognized by the dry cough and hoarseness. Not difficult to cure with Catarrhozone as Mr. Xavier Babin, of River Capalin, Que., proved. "No one could suffer from bronchitis more than I did. I had a hard hacking cough that caused me great pain. My throat was hoarse, and I had great distress in nay chest. Catarrhozone reached the sore spots and gave immediate relief. Since us- ing it I have not had a single attack." Every physician who is asked about Catarrhozone says it is sure to cure— so will you if you try it. Sold every- where, 25c and $1. THAT ROOSTER KNEW. clintan..

The squash weighed 112% pounds, the exact figures named by Miss Warner after looking it over care- fully. A Wingham duck, which had faith- fully stuck to business during the summer, and laid several dozen of large, fawn -colored eggs, complained that she was not appreciated. "See that hen over there P" said the duck ; "She hasn't laid as many eggs as I have, nor as big, but she has books written about her, and verses composed in her honor, while nobody is saying a word about me." "The trouble with you is," said the wise rooster that was standing near, that you don't tell the public what you have done, You lay an egg and waddle off without saying a word, while that sister of mine never lays one without letting everybody in the neignborhood know about it.
