More care and attention in the trans- fer of hotel licenses are urged upon licenses inspectors in a circular issued from the Provincial Secretary's office. At present inspectors are permitted to issue thirty -day permits in case a hotel - keeper desires to immediately transfer his license to another party, and the lat- ter is not obliged to wait for the monthly meeting of the commissioners before obtaining possession. It is said that sometimes undesirable persons obtain permits in this way, and, by immediately spending money upon the property, make it difficult for the board to cancel the permit at the expiration of thirty days. Atteutiou is called, likewise, to numerous complaints that have been re- ceived of Saturday night and Sunday selling, and inspectors are urged to exer- cise the utmost vigilance to prevent vio- lation of the law, TO ADVERTISERS.

The Conservatives of Sault Ste. Marie have filed a petition against the return of Mr. C. N. Smith, M. P. P. and ask for his disqualification. The date for the North Renfrew election has been fixed at last. Nomin- ation will take place ou Dec. 19, and polling on the 26th -the day following Christmas. This will enable the lumber- men, who will be in from the woods for the holiday to poll their votes. The Liberal Government revised, re- formed and reduced the tariff. In 1896 the average duty paid on all goods im- ported was $18.28 per $100, whereas last year only $16 88 was paid. If the aver- age duties imposed during the Conserva- tive Administration of 18 years had been imposed during the last seven years, over 30 million dollars more money would have been collected from the people. Manufacturers were assisted by material reductions in duties on iron and steel and other raw materials. The farmer got free binder twine, Indian corn, barb- ed and other fencing wire, cream separa- tors, etc.; substantial reductions in his favor were also made on many agricul- tural implements, on hardware, wool- lens, cottons, linens, glassware, hats, caps, furs and ou many other staple commodities. A substantial preference was given to Great Britain. Direct re- sult: British imports which formerly de- clined greatly have donbled-and our exports have also largely increased. The Peterborough Examiner, owued by Hon. J. R. Stratton, makes this chat. lenge: "If any of the Conservative pa- pers who are hinting and insinuating that Hon. Mr. Stratton was connected with the pnrchase of the stock in the Crossin Piano Company, have the. cour- age of their convictions, they would put the charge in a specific and definite form, so that it can be dealt with. If they have the courage or fairness to do this, Hon. Mr. Stratton will afford them every opportunity in his power to per- mit them to prove their statements." It is not unlikely that any of the organs of the Tory campaign of slander will ac- cept this challenge. It snits their pur- poses to use innuendo instead of making direct charges. They know that the Callaghan affidavit was adroitly drawn to avoid a direct charge against the Min- ister, and that he is thereby prevented from successfully prosecuting that crea- ture. They, therefore, adopt the same tactics in order to avoid prosecution of themselves. FARMFRS' INSTITUTE MEETINGS This week's Weekly Sun of Toronto reports the Farmers' Institute meetings recently held in Huron county as fol- lows: Meetings of the Farmers' Inati- tate have been held in Huron comity during the past two weeks at Bluevale, Fordwioh, Molesworth, Ethel, Walton, Harlcek, Constance, Mauley's School, Murdie's'Shool, St. Columbian, Loudes- boro, Belgrave, St. Helens and Holmes- ville. The speakers were Dr. H. G. Reed of Georgetown and J. H. Smith, M. A., of Longbank, Among Dr. Reed's subjects were "Developmeut and Training of Young Horses," "Founda- tion Principles of Successful Stock Breediug," and "Opportunities of Modern Farm Sife from the Standpoint of the Farmer's Son," while Mr. Smith spoke ou "Agricultural Education," "From Soil to Plant," "Weeds," and "Feeds and Feeding." The meetings were successful from the start, the evening meetings bringing out large crowds. Ou the question of good seed the farmer is now fully awake, realizing as he does that in order to pro- duce a good plant he most have a good, well developed seed, and in addition to that his seed should be front prolific stock, and also that it should be true to name. Rev. Richard Hobbs, of Strathroy, says: "I am beginuing to believe that our public libraries aro becoming the greatest curse that exists."

A hot crusade is being waged in Eng- land against the wearing of corsets. The gentleman who writes the leading articles for this great journal, whose name is Smiff, warmly approves of the movement. He says that when in an -er. occasional moment of weakness he may Ile tempted to do a little embracing, he likes to known that he has within his arms the female form divine. Hogging a corset is about as soul stirring as cudd- ling a flour barrel.-Bobcaygeon Inde- pendent. About a year ago, the Grey County Council adopted the Crest of the Earl of Grey for their Ietter heads, etc., and the clerk having recently heard that some smart lawyer smelled an action of infrigent of rights, he wrote to the Earl and received a reply which was read Sat- urday morning and in which the Earl. not only granted the oonnty the privil- edge of using his motto and design but also heartily thanked the representatives for the honor conferred upon him. And the clerk feels gratified at having stolen a march on the meddlesome disciple of Blackstone. -Owen Sound Sun. The annual meeting of the Conser- vative Association for West Huron was held at Smith's Hall on Tuesday afternoon of last week, with a good at- tendance, despite the heavy storm pre- vailing. The president, Major Joseph Beek, after sixteen years service in that position was permitted to retire, being first made honorary president, and a member of the Executive Committe. Mr. Peter W.

Hislop, M. P. P., spoke along the line of for- estry. He impressed ou young men the advisability of taking a course in the School of Forestry, and in this way fit themselves. for lucrative positions on Government and private forest preserves. He also urged the farmers to protect their forest lots as a means of controll- ing climatic conditions. At Constance on Thursday Prof. Day of the O. A. C. Guelph, gave two ad- dresses that were much appreciated. His afternoon subject was "Food and Their Uses, "and in the evening he gave an address that appealed more paiticul- a y Lo young men. He characterized this as the young man's age, and gave expres- sion to many excellent thoughts. He entered a plea for the boy on the farm, claiming that he should get equal chances for improvement as the boy who went into professional life. Prof. Day made the assertion that one of the causes of failure in business life was that men were afraid of work, and that for a young man to be successful he was to be willing to give his very best service to his employer, even though he was not sufficiently paid for it. As stated last week the Council has decided to submit a by-law to the rate- payers, at the municipal elections on Jan. 4th, 1904, for the purpose of raising by debentures $35,600 for the purpose of improving and extending the waterworks system of the town, and for the construc- tion of a trunk sewer and sewerage dis- posal works. The engineer's estimate for waterworks purposes is $29,600, and the source of supply reco mmended is two artesian wells, to cost $1200. Other items, with estimated cost, are: Air compressor and connection with wells, $1500; reservoir, $1000; additiou to building, and removal and repairs to machinery, $2000; mains, casting, val- ves, hydrants, eto., $15,638.52; stand pipe and site, $5300; engineering and contingencies, $2661.48. The estimate for the sewerage system include a trunk sewer on Josephine street from Alfred street to the south branch of the river, with d 6 -inch cellar drain, $3022,+a pair of septic tanks and sand inter beds, $2373; contingencies, $605. The plan now under consideration will give a much better waterworks ser- vice than the one previously submitted, in that the distribution will be more extended. That the proposed improvements are hi the best interests of the town from the standpoint of more adequate fire protection alone, there is no doubt; and the scheme presented would substanti- ally meet this need as well as give an np- to-date service for domestic purposes. It is generally conceded that the con- atrnotion of the trunk sewercannot be completed too soon. From time to time ' complaints have been made of the an- ' sanitary conditions of the back yards in close proximity to Josephine street, and ' this condition can best be remedied wheat an of leicnt sewerage system is in- stalled. The ratepayers will do well to weigh carefully the advantages of the instaila- tion of the proposed improvement, be- t l fore Voting day. Live Stock Markets, Toronto, Deo, 1, -Receipts at the city cattle market to -day were 65 loads, with 1,114 head of cattle, 1,091 sheep and Lambe, 300 hogs and 82 calves. Export -There is a very distinct im- provement in the demand for export cattle, and prices are from 50c. to 75c higher than a week or so ago. The chief difficulty is to get good enough quality of cattle. Butchers -There was a fair demand for good butchers' cattle, and prices were just about steady at last week's advance. Very rough cows and common butchers were easier, but for choice cattle there was no decline in prices. Feeders -There is still a fair market for good heavy feeders at about $3.75 to $4. Stockers -There is some inquiry for light stockers, but it is a poor market for the rough, common stock coining from the east, Hogs -As was aaticipatod, hogs were sent down another notch, best hogs being qnoted for last week at 94.60 and lights and fats at $4.35, a drop of 25c. to 30c. The total receipts of live stock at the Union Stock Yards, Toronto Junction, up to noon today were 56 carloads, con- taining 1,034 cattle, 488 sheep, 21 horses and two calves. Eleven carloads of this lot came from the United States. The quality of cattle was much better than usual, several choice loads of export cat- tle being on tha market. Butchers' cat- tle were also generally good.

"I was taken ill with kidney trouble, and became so weak I could scarcely get around. I took medicine without benefit, and finally decided to try Hood's Sarsaparilla. After the first bottle I felt so much better that I continued Its use, and six bottles made me a new woman.
