For it Cares for Every Sick Child in Ontario whose Parents Cannot Afford to Pay For Treatment. Of Of iff The Hospital for Sick Children, College street, Toronto, appeals to the fathers and mothers of Ontario for funds to maintain the thousand sick children that it nurses within its walls every year. • The Hospital is not a local institution - but Provincial.

Pereaux Co., of Minneapolis, which had imported a quantity of frosted Canadian wheat. The company contended that as the wheat was good neither for milling nor for seed it should be rated as "un- classified," and subject to an ad valoreth of 10 per cent., amounting to but five cents per bushel. -The ratepayers of S. S. No. 1, East Luther, are having the worth of their money in the race for the office of trustee. As noted a couple of weeks ago, the election following the annual meeting was upset. on a technicality, and new one ordered to be held on the 4th. Once more Geo. Legate headed the poll, but by only two votes, and after a stormy and- heated campaign. By Monday morning rumors were afloat, thick and fast, that steps were to be taken on account of irregu- larities, and a list of wrong doings, dongs comprising almost every charge included in an ordinary election pro- test. They include perjury, intimida- tion, bribery and irregularity in cOn- ducting the poll, and unless all signs fail there will be another election there before long. • -On a recent Saturday two young men, Ferrier and Fletcher of Nassa- gaweya, were out for a drive. They were upset and the horse ran away. The country far and near was scouted for the animal, but it was not, until some ten days later it was found in 'Wm. Anderson's bush, in a most piti- able condition. It was in a hollow with one line twisted around a shaft of the cutter, and in snch a position that it, could not move, and was al- most starved to death. The poor animal had eaten the snow as far as it could reach and what herbage it conld find under the snow. The irony of the situation was that there was any quantity of hay in the rear of the cut- ter, which the horse could not reach. The animal was about one. and three quarters miles from where the upset took place, and entered the bush by a track where timber WAS being taken out. • MASSAGE. serene !avow Please, send contributions to J.

Bylaw No. 3 was pa-ssed appointing Judge Holt ; H. Huston, Exeter, and Wm. Clegg, Wingham, arbitrators in reference to the dissolution of U.S.S. No. 4, Goderich and Hullett town- ships. A number of ratepayers of the section had petitioned the councils of the two townships concerned to take the necessary steps. Hullett had granted the petition, but Goderich failed to do so, hence the petition to the county council. The petitions to the township councils ask- ed that lot 29, con., 4, Hullett, and lots 27, 28, 29, con., 5 Hullett, be add- ed to U. S. S. No. 2, Hullett.

Ho said after reaching Marseilles from London he boarded a boat for Alexandria taking Pullman cars to Cairo, a city which is up-to-date, having electric cars, etc. He spoke of the Pyramids as a grand , memory, reaching the sky one would think, and the great 'Sphinx. Mr. Levack had the honor as he said,. to be married in Cairo by the British Con- sul and a Scottish clergyman.

People the world over were horri- fied on learning of the burning of a Chicago theater in which nearly six hundred people lost their lives, yet more than five times 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 pneumonia resulted front a cold 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 my daughter, Laura, of a severe cold, and I believe saved her life when she was threaten- ed with pneumonia." W. D. Wilcox, Logan, New York. Sold by A. L & Co. AN OPEN LETTER FROM MR. W. J. GAGE. TOIZONTO, Can., Dec. 1, 1004. DEAD, YRIEND, We again come to you with our story of trouble, but a story of surprising and en- 7ouraging results. No apology is necessary; the great work ef the National Sanitarium Association, carried on at the Muskoka Cottitge Sane- toriutn and Freo Hospital for Consump- tives, is now well known. The 1,500 patients cared for in these two Homes plead for your help. Tho large number of lives saved, of those who a few years ago were supposed to be " under sentence of death," gives a right to your sympathy. In helping to rescue a number great enough to constitute a large. prosperous village, the giving back to home and friends a regiment of workers, surely will arouse interest in this work of mercy. Each patient cared for in our Consump- tive Homes, removes a source of danger, so that the life of every citizen in Canada Is more secure. Tho marvellous decrees° of 40 pot pent, in three years in the cleathsrate in Ontario from consumption proves that the fight egainst this dread disease is no losing enc. The Muskoka Free Mospital for Consumptives, for which this appeal is made, without any endowment, keeps an , open door to all who are poor and sick, as long as a vacant bed remains. Nearly 400 patients have been eared for in this Hospital since it was opened less than three years ago. This has only been possible because of the continuous stream of gifts that have come to us from every part of Canada. Reminnber, too, these were patients that other hospitals as a rule refuse. Almost every trade and profession has sent its representative, and of every age-. from the yottng schoolboy of 12 to the widowed mothor of 00. t.26,000saa tocolVed last year by the Trustees of the Freo Hospital for Con sumptives through contributions and b^. quests. 850,000 should he given this year if tht I3oard is to provide for the increased ar: • commodation and maintenance of those pleading for admission. Where will your money do so much good in bringing health to the sick and protect- ing the lives of those in yo.ir home Why should consumption not be stamped out if the needful money and help be forth- ooming The official Report of the Secretary of the Provincial Board of Health tells a surprising story—a story of a winning tight, showing that from 1807 up to 1000 there was a steady increase in the death -rate from Tuberculosis. From 1000 there has been a Immo de. crease each year, redneing the death. rate from 3,484 to 2,072itt throe years, or over 40 per cent. This is all the more remarkable in view a the increase ie population, You have the joy of knowing that your dollar hes helped in this merciful work, The pitiful part of it all is in knowing how many more lives could have been saved if the -needful money had been forthcom. it:grtet provide additional beds, Will you not join in this great life-saving work? Your dollar will bring Oaancss. Fifty dollars will keep a siek ono for two months.; may save a life. Three hundred dollars will endow a bed for a year.
