As a result of the decision of the tanners to raise the price of hides, the Ontario Shoe Manufacturers met last week, and decided to advance the price of boots and shoes, Constable Briggs, of Walkerton, is investigating a supposed case of child murder at Elmwood, The story is that in cleaning out a well there re- cently, the remains of an infant in a decomposed condition were found, -A company bas been formed in Milverton, Ont., with a capital of $20,-; 000, to engage in the manufacture of boots and shoes.

Sick Headache. This distressing ailment results from a disordered condition of the stomach. All that is needed to effect a cure is a dose or two of Chamber- . lain's Stomach and Liver Tablets. In fact, the attack may he warded off, or greatly lessened in severity, by tak- ing a dose of these Tablets as soon as the first symptom of an attack- ap- pears. Sold by A. I. McCall & Co. t -A report of the Ontario Govern- ment immigration agent stationed at Liverpool, Eng., relating to child emi- gration to the province of Ontario during the past season, showed that a total of 1,740 children had been sent out, after personal inspection by the agent, under the auspices of various children aid societies in Great Britain during the past season. -During the month of December 305,700 acres of free grant lands were taken up in Western Canada. This is equal to 1,911 homesteads of 160 acres each, and is a big record for a mid- winter month. The Regina district led the van with 382 entries, while Yorkton district followed with 320. There was also considerable activity in the Prince Albert district, where 280 homesteads were entered. -John Barrett, a veteran of the Crimean war;.. who fought at Ahna, Inkerman and Sebastapool, was ad- mitted to the House of Refuge at Markdale, a few weeks ago. He was four times wounded during the dif- ferent engagements. Although 77 years of age he still maintains his soldierly bearing, being as straight as a ramrod and as elastic in step as a young recruit. He lntellds to leave the Home about the first of May and earn his living during the summer months. -On Sunday week there passed away at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Jas. McDowell,. in McKillop, an aged pioneer in the person of Geo. Payne. Mr. Payne was one of the few remaining links connecting the past with the present, having reached the remarkable age of 98 years and 11 months. We have been unable to obtain the history of his life, Which, embracing as it does, nearly all of the nineteenth century, would make very interesting reading. During Itis re- sidence in McKillop however, he was one of its most respected and esteem- ed citizens. He Was a remarkably smart. lean of his age, as only a few years ago, when considerably into the 00's he Was engaged in teaming wood into Seaforth, To Cure Fever Chills • And such complaints as "Shivers" and agile we recommend Nerviline very highly. Twenty drops of Ner- viline taken in hot 'water with a little sugar thtee times daily not only stops the chills but knocks out the disease completely. Nerviline has a direct action on fever chills and re- moves the conditions causingthein. In stomach and bowel troubes Nets viline never falls. It's pleasant to the taste, quick to relieve and always cures permanently. Get a 25c. bottle to -day. a , Clinton. The local buyers say that very little grain is being offered for sale,. The Ontario St., Sunday school will hold its anniversary services on the 28rd and 24th 'lists. The Postal .department intends to enclose the brick porch in front of the Post Office, and thus snake the entry more comfortable for winter time. The formal opening of the Norman• die will likely take place on the 10th inst. On that occasion Mr. Lewis pur- poses bringing the London Harpers to town for ten days. Clinton holds second place in the county, by a good margin, for volume of postal business, and this is good proof that it holds second place for volume of general business. We regret to learn of the death of Mr. Geo. Diehl, at ono time a highly respected business lean of Clinton, but for some years a resident of To- ronto. His death occurred on Tues- day, in his 70th year, Mr. W. Wheatley, of town, has bought the 80 acre farm on the 10th con., of Goderich township, owned by Mr. Robt. Richardson, paying in the neighborhood of $5,000 therefor. It is a good farm, with 20 acres of bash, out of which Mr. Wheatley will likely make some money. Mr, W. R, Lough, the highly es- teemed and efficient principal of Clin- ton Model School, who has been con- nected therewith for 22 years, has passed over 600 teachers through his hands, as modelites. Who can tell or measure up the influence for good he has exercised in connection there- with, or how far he has been instru- mental in moulding their character ? Bronchitic Asthma A Heavy Burden. Asthma is bad enough but when bronchial symptoms are added the „poor sntferer has almost an intolerable existence. An absolute specific is found in fragrant healing Catarrho- zone which cures chronic cases that other remedies won't even relieve. "For years," writes Capt. McDonald, of Montreal, "I battled with the agonies of bronchitic asthma. Often I couldn't sleep for nights at a time. I spent thousands on doctors and medi- cines without relief, but one dollar's worth of Catarrhozone cured ine." Catarrhozone can't fail ; it's guaran- teed. Two months treatment $1.00; trial 25c. Culross. Mr. Fred Purvis, who has been at Lindsay for some tune, arrived hone the other day. Mr. Albert Haines has purchased lot 27, con..10, from Geo. B. Armstrong. It is said the price paid is $1500. Mr. William King of the 3rd con. of Culross has been seriously ill for over a week with appendicetis. We - hope soon to hear of his recovery. Roy McDonald met with a painful accident on Friday while at work in the bush. He was riding on a sleigh with his feet over the, side and one of them was crushed against a tree that stood close to the roans. No bones are broken but he will be crippled for some time. Mr. Geo. Waugh lost a valuable horse in a very simple way, one day last week. The animal was out to - water, and while playing about the yard got down in the snow by a fence. • In extricating himself he broke one of his front legs above the knee, and had to be destroyed. It is said the animal was worth $175. • • Startling But True. People the World over were horri- fied on learnidg of the burning of a Chicago theater in which nearly six hundred people Iost their lives, yet more than five tines this number or 3,000 people died from pneumonia in Chicago during the same year, with scarcely a passing notice, Every one of these cases of pnounlonla resulted from a, sold and could have been: pre- vented by the timely use of Chamber- lain's Cough Remedy. A great many who had every reason to fear pneu- monia have warded it off by the prompt use of this remedy. The fol- lowing is an instance of ,..this sort: "Too much cannot be said in favor of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, and especially for colds and influenza. I know that it cured niy daughter, Laura, of a severe cold, and I believe saved her life when she was threaten- ed with_ pneumonia." W. D. Wilcoxt Logan, New York. Sold by A, I. Mc.

Aivord in an address dis- cussing the experiments conducted by the government in refrigeration of dai- ry products said; "We succeeded very well in placing butter from Minnesota, Kansas and other states well west of Chicago on the London and Manchester markets in practically as good condition as when it left the creameries where it was pro- duced. "We are studying different tempera- tures for storing butter. This work is being conducted in Chicago, that be- ing considered a Convenient center for handling butter, We had about two tons et butter churned for us from a homogeneous lot of cream on the same day in a big Kansas creamery, so that every pound which we obtained was identical with the rest. We Packed the butter in about sixty tubs, and this is now stored at five different tempera- tures in the city of Chicago. We in- tend to hold this butter in lots from 700 to 800 pounds in compartments having approximately and respectively the temperature of 30 degrees, 20 de- grees, 10 degrees, zero and from 5 de- grees to 10 degrees below zero, as we are able to obtain it. This butter will be held, part of it, for three months and part of it for six months or longer, examined perhaps every sixty days or as often as may seem expedient, scored by the very best talent that can be obtained in the country, for the pur- pose of determining its commercial quality and with a view of ascertain- ing the effects of these different tem- peratures upon the preservation of quality and also by very close weigh- ing of determining the question of shrinkage. These two points are prac- tically the most important ones to the holders of butter in storage. I am not prepared to give any results whatever in this connection and will only state that it is a tentative trial. It is intend- ed to be but the beginning of an inves- tigation which shall deserve that name and which mean to make sufficient- ly exhaustive to give definite and sat- isfactory results." Why Dairying Maintains Fertiii'ts. Professor Curtiss at the recent dairy convention at Cedar Rapids, Ia., told why dairying maintains the fertility of the farm. He ' said: "In selling $1,000 worth of wheat from an Iowa farm at present prices we sell with It about 5350 worth of fertility. In sell- ing $1,000 worth of corn we sell about $250 worth of fertility or constituents which would cost the farmer this amount if he were obliged to buy com- mercial fertilizers to maintain the fer- tility of the farm. But we can convert $1,000 worth of corn into beef, pork or mutton and sell it in that form and not remove over $25 worth of fertility from the farm, or we can convert $1,000 worth of feed into butter and not re- move a single dollar's worth of fertil- ity with it. Butter is almost wholly pure fat or carbon, and it adds nothing to the value or productive capacity of the soil." Opposed, but Not Opposed. Yes, we are "agin" the hand sep- arator, and we are one of its best friends at one and the same time. The hand separator has been a godsend to the farmers of those districts which are less densely populated than our own 'Martin comity and where it would be impossible for whole milk cream- ery to survive. They have been the means of furnishing a commodity which can• be shipped to a central churning point, and by thus being furnished a market for their prod- uct the farmers have been encouraged to go into the dairy business more or less extensively. Without a market they could not be expected to milk cows, and so could not have enjoyed its benefits. And to the farmer, even In our own county, who is remote from a creamery, the hand separator and the cream wagon are most sub- stantial benefits, bringing to his very door the same benefits which his neighbor in the next township enjoys. -I:. IC. Slater in Fairmont News. A Good Judge of Milk. and Cream. A butteruiaker should be a good judge of milk and cream, not only be- ing acquainted with the different fla- vors contained therein, but he should also be thoroughly informed as to the causes responsible for the production of these flavors. Thus be is enabled to tall: intelligently with Ills patrons and instruct them in caring .for the raw material and will also be able to gain their. confidence to a marked de- gree. A buttermaker cannot well af- ford to neglect the selection of his milk and cream at the weigh mom door. (let a Dig Overrun. Processor - G. L. McKay in his ad- dress to the Minnesota Dairymen's as- sociation brought up anew the vital point of overrun, on which the Iowa dairy school has been placing so much stress for a year or more. It is most important, and we are advised, says Creamery Journal, that the so called centralizing plants have a distinct ad- 'vantage over the ordinary e0 -operative creamery is that the inanagers .`.emand daily statements from their butter - makers and require that the overrun be ample. We know that thousands and thousands of dollars are annnually being thrown away in Iowa creameries simply because the method of produc- ing 4 large overrun is not understood by tlio buttermakers, who alone are usually made responsible for the entire process of buttermaking. Iowa's co- operative creameries must get into the harness and introduce modern Ideas and modern methods If they are to be as saccade' as they have a right to be, Chamberlain's Cough Remedy The Mother's Favorite.
