NOTES AND COMMENTS.
Business men are commenting on the
fact that Canada, during the past four
or five years, has bought from other
countries $230,000,000 more than she has
sold to them. They suspect paying
time may come with a rush, However,
we've got the g ods. Also let ns ging•
gest that we've had over half a million
immigrants in the same time, a good
many of whom had considerable money
in their vest pockets•-O.tawa Journal.
total of the capital expenditure asked
for is $12,3.05,620, of which thirty mil-
liens
il•li ns are for the National Tranacoutiu•
ental Railway, and $4 327,200 for the
Intereolonial Railway. Tho total
amount voted on capital account last
aaseiou wee $41,950,051, or $300,1169 less
than the amount asked for this year.
The supplementary estimates, to be
brought down late in the session, will
of course, iucreaee the above totals.
Last session the total of the main esti-
mates was $105,689,000.
It appears that the question of Senate
reform is to receive some attention dor-
the present see •ion, but it is evideut
that the advocates of reform are not
agreed upon the method to be pursued.
Mr. Miller, of South Grey, would mend
itd gives notice
the Senate by endingau g vt,
of a reeolation that as the disadvantages
connected with its maintenance greatly
outweigh the benefits, the Senate may
with advantage be abolished. Senator
MoMullen, without committing himielf
to a definite plan, proposes that the
Senate itself should move towards a re-
consideration of the method and term
of appointment with the object of bring-
ing it more in unison with popular sen-
timent. Mr. McIntyre, of South Perth,
goes farther and will move a resolution
proposing a conference between the
members of the Oommone and of the
Senate to ooneider the advantages to be
gaiued in the composition of the Senate
by (1) an age limit for retirement and a
shortened term of servioe for future
Senators; (2) an extension to other
authorities than the present one of power
to select persons for filling a portion of
the future vacancies in the Senate; (3)
a rearrangement of some of the duties
and work of the two Houses; (4) other
changes calculated to place the Senate
in a position of increased responsibility
to the people. -
With all records in the hist ,ry of the
great lakes broken the traffic of the
Soo canals practically came to a close
last week. In round numbers the total
freight tonnage was 58,000,000, about
7,000,000 greater than last year. Marine
men claim that had it not been for the
financial crisis tile total would have been
60,000,000. The high mark recorded
this season was in June, when the
shipments through the canals aggregat•
ed $8,865,442 net tons although in both
Angest and September the commerce
was more than 8,500,000 tone, and in
October it was upward of 8,400,000 tons,
Since 1867 when the provinces were
united, Oanada has had seven premiers
of whom three are living; Sir Wilfrid
Laurier, who has been prime minister
siuoe July 11, 1896; Sir Mackenzie
Bowen, who was prime minister from
December 21 1896, until April 27, 1896;
and Sir Charles Tupper, who was prime
minister, from May 1 1896, to June 11,
of the same year. Two premiers have
died while in offioe-Sir John A. Mac-
donald on Jane 6,189I,who was succeeded
by Sir John Abott, and Sir John Thomp-
son. who died at Windsor Castle England,
on December 12, 1894. There are four
ex-provinoial prime ministers in the
house of commons to day -Mr. Fielding,
Mr. Emmerson, Mr. Greenway and Mr.
Pugsley. Mr. Pugsley, nithongh a
private member, will never be forgotten
as ex -prime minister of Manitoba, and
few men are better informed of the
needs of that great country.
The main estimates for fiscal year,
ending March 31st, 1908, laid on the
table of the Commons last week by Hon.
Mr. Fielding, provide for a total ex-
penditure on both consolidated fund
and capital account of $119,237,091, an
increase of $2,752 364 over the amount
voted last season for the currant fiscal
year, The total estimates on consoli-
dated fund accounts amount to $76,871,-
471, and increase of $2,355,995 as com-
pared with the amount voted last ses-
sion. Of this increa°e, $2,309,100 is
chargeable to the larger amounts the
Provinces will receive in subsidies. The

Bad Breath From Indigestion Can-
not be Overcome With Perfumes.
All of us suffer from bad breath -
sometimes our own, but oftener that of
our friends.
Nine•tenths of this bad breath comes
from some stomach trouble, and cannot
oe overcome by breath perfumes or any
other palliative measures.
If you occasionally have bad breath;
if there is heartburn, flatulence and acid
gulpings of undigested food; if the
stomach barns or smarts; if there is
sleeplessness, nervousness, headaches or
any other of the many symptems of indi•
gestion, use Mi-o-na stomach tablets and
get well.
Mi o-na is uot a mere digestive nor a
physic, but a tonic remedy that strength-
ens the muscles of the stomach and bow-
els so that the flow of gastric juices is
increased, and the food is digested nat-
urally and does not Stay in the stomach
to ferment and poison the breath.
Walton McKibben has seen so many
cures made by Mi-o-na stomach tablets
that he gives a guarantee with every
50 -cent box that the money will be re-
funded if the remedy fails to give satis-
faction. He takes the whole risk, and a
box of Mi-o-na will not cost you a penny
unless it cures you.

r
hotels without bars wi]1 never pay the
dividends of hotels with bars, and tiny
rfgaire more careful and competent
handling in order to make them pay.
The trouble at Neepawa arose out of
the building of two epleudid hotels
fu a town that was only large enough to
support one, One house was built large-
ly by private enterprise and the other by
a company comprised of local, There
was not room for two hotels, the one
owned by a private individual was op-
ened first, and in a great measure held
the ground, and although there were a
number of prominent temperance people
interested in the other hotel, the lack of
revenue from the investment didoonraged
them, and while a few stack manfully
to the job, others got, pardon the slang,
"cold feet" and their temperance senti-
ment weakened to inch a degree that a
number who did not actually, vote for
license let it be known that they were
no longer opposed to it. The shutting
up of the hotels and the ooneegaent lose
of business to the town was too mach
for their faith in the local option
principle.
To the honor of the women voters, be
it said, they stuck to their principles and
voted local option. Of coarse a good
many of the men excused their action on
the ground there was as much liquor
sold in Neepawa and as much dram-
kenness as if there was an open bar,
more in fact. ` This may be tree, but it
is just a little;odd that although I have
visited Neepawa frequently I have never
seen a drauken boy or man on the
streets of that town. I do not say there
was no drinking in Neepawa, but I do
say that I never saw any results of it.
That hotels without bars can bo made
to pay and made more popular with the
public is quite easy to prove. Old
timers remember with regret Mao-
dougall's at Birtle, one of the most com-
fortable and homelike hotele ever known
in the west. Commercial men used to
drive the twenty miles from Binscarth
to Birtle in order that they might spend
Sunday at MoDongall's. It did not
make a grand fortune for its owners but
it paid its way and something over and
furnished betteraccomodation to the
travelling public than 99 out of 100 of
the licensed houses.
The beet evidence I have ever had of
a bar uot being needful to make a hoose
pay, was that of Mr. Peter Payne, of
Brandon, who for so many years ran the
Beanbeir. When the vote was on for
abolition of the liquor traffic in Mani.
toba, Mr. Payne openly voted with the
temperance people and when questioned
as to why he did so said, he would pre-
fer to run a house without a bar, as he
could make it pay all right.
Those who were in the habit of stay-
ing at the Beaubeir will remember how
little the bar wasin evidenoe, in fact,
yea could have beeh in the house a week
without knowing there was a bar unless
yon went to look for it. It was a well
appointed house, clean, good beds, good
meals and most courteous service.
Good hotels without.bars and showing
a reasonable profit are the best 'possible
argument in favor of local option, and
the temperance people of any oom-
mnnity are unwise to attempt local
option unless they are prepared to see
that good aocomodation will be provided
for the travelling public once the bare
are closed.
(Seaforth Expositor )
The good people of Wingham placed
their best feet forward, and left nothing
undone to make the members of the
oounty council carry away with them
the most pleasant recollections of their
visit to their, busy, prosperous and
pretty little town, and to set forth in the
beat passible light to the visitors nit
advantages. Iodeed, if the county
councillors were often paid as much at-
tention, they would be in danger of be
coming spoiled.
As will be seen by the minutes, when
the county council opened, the Wing -
ham town council, headed by the mayor
and reeve, was in attendance in a body,
and presented a very cordial address of
welcome, extending the freedom of the
town to the visitors, and also inviting
them to visit the hospital and high
school. On Wednesday afternoon the
council took advantage of these invita-
tions, and proceeded to the hospital,
and from thence to the high school in a
body. In both inetitutions they were
most cordially received, and afforded
every opportunity for malting a thor-
ough inspeotion. The hospital is beau-
tifully situated on an eminence over-
looking the town. The site is airy and
cheerful. The institution is thorough-
Iy equipped throughout and is a credit
to the generosity of the citizens, and it
cam not fail to be of immense benefit not
only to the people of the town bat to
those of the surrounding country as
well. The high school is in the same
locality and is a neat, comfortable and
commodious edifice, well planned for
the purpose used. The class rooms are
bright, airy and comfortable while the
equipment is fully up to the high stan-
aard required by the department. There
are four teaohers and the attendance of
students is as large as the present staff
can attend to. The hospital and) the
high school are two of the institutions
of which the Winghamites very justly
feel proud.
On Thursday evening the council and
citizens entertained the oounty coon-
cillora and county officials at a com-
plimentary banquet. Covera were laid
for about 100; the company was catered
to by Mr. L. Kennedy and the spread
did him great credit. The chair was
ocoapied by the Mayor and the vice
chair by the Reeve, and toast, song and
sentiment filled out a most enjoyable
evening. The ocoaaion was also graced
by a number of ladies in the gallery.
The refreshments were all that could be
desired by the moot epicurean; the
speeches were eloquent and witty and
when we say that the music was under
the direction of that musical veteran,
Mr. George W. Cline, all will know that
it could not have been surpassed. We
are sure that every county councillor
will retain very many pleasant recollec-
tions of their visit to Wingham and the
very best hospitable treatment of its
citizens.
Popuiar Cnro for Croup,
Anyone wiio has tested Dr. Chase's
Syrup of Linseed and Turpentine as a
cure for croup will not hesitate to pro-
nonnoe it an unqualified success. It is
wonderfully prompt in loosening the
cough, clearing the air passages and
soothing the excited nerves. Many
mothers who realize the suddenness with
which croup comes on keep this great
medicine constantly at hand for use in
case of emergency,
LOCAL OPTION IN NEEPAWA.
The town of Neepawa, Manitoba, re-
cently voted to repeal their local option
law and adopt the licensing and hotel -
with -a -bar system. This was a great
surprise to many as the town of Nee-
pawa never before had a liquor hotel.
They adopted the local option system at
the inception of the town and kept it np
continnonely until a few weeks ago.
Several attempts to repeal the by-law
had been made hut all had failed, the
by-law was always sustained by a large
majority until the last vote. In a recent
isene The Western Home Monthly, au
excellent and interesting magazine pub -
limed in Winnipeg, throws a good deal
of light on the subject, which is discus-
sed as follows:
One of the lessons that temperance
people have yet to learn is, that if
they want to make their hotels without
license popular and profitable they will
have to put up money to do it.
The cry so frequently made, that
hotele cannot be enccesefnlly run with-
out a bar, is not true, but it is true that

GOING TO TOWN TO LIVE.
The old, worn -girt farmers -the farm-
ers who have rented their "places," the
farmers who have sold out to the boys -
have ceased to go to town to live.
It was a species ,of insanity in the
first place, but at any time could he be
diagnosed as a big mistake. They are out
of place in town. The sidewalke tire
them out. Their "Howdy do" as they
pass people is unnoticed except tSy a
curious stare.
There are no chores to do. There are
no pigs to chase oat of the orchard, and
their cattle never get into the oats.
There is no sheep washing time, no
threshing days, s, no seeding,no haying,
9 Kr
no hog killing, no cider -making time.
They lived like lords out on the 'place,'
because their food practically boat them
nothing. A smoke -house full of hams,
shoulders and side meat was a matter
of onarse. Eggs could be had for the
going to the
barn for thorn;
a chicken
on
state occasions was never missed from
the flock, and butter only boat a stren-
uous quarter of an hour churning it.
But now, when they have got to bay
'most everything, it is awfully different.
They stint themselves on batter at 35
bents a pound --'that's too ridiculous a
rice altogether,

Threatened With
Bright's Disease
This case well illustrates the way in
which kidney diseases of the most serious
fore; are developed from derangements
of the liver.
Mr. John Wilson, 918 Esplanade ave-
nue, Montreal, Que., writes: '<Last Feb-
ruary I was taken sick and had to have
the doctor, who said that my ailment was
a disordered liver. A few weeks after
completing his treatment I began to
notice symptoms of kidney disease. The
urine took on a reddish appearance and
continued to get worse, until there were
brick dust deposits, and then I knew
that the kidneys were seriously affected,
and that I was threatened with Bright's
disease.
"I obtained some of Dr. Chase's Kid-
ney -Liver Pills, and as a result of 'this
treatment was completely cured. My
water became a natural color, and is
still so. The cure was thorough and
lasting."

(Clara A. Trask. in New England farmer.)
When yon have a friend to visit you, if
she be a welcome guest.
Yon will try to make her happy, and
you'll give her of your best;
You'll tall her all the story of your var-
ied household Dare,
And everlastingly you'll prate about
your own affairs;
Bat whatever else you do, don't for
heaven's rake, be led
To put that helplea' woman in the cold
spare bed!
You may tell her of your troubles with
your numerous hired girls,
And what "she said," and what "I said,"
till her understanding whirls;
You may talk of the servant question,
• till the setting moon's last gleam,
And begin again next morning on the
same old tiresome theme;
But whatever else you do, don't for
heaven's sake be led
To put that helpless woman in the cold
spare bed!
Yon may tell her of your pains and
ache,, and what the dootor said,
The time you oame near dying with nea-
raigie in your head;
Of how ye It poured down bitters, and
drops and patient pills,
When yon caught the dread malaria,
and had such awful chills;
Yon may bore her, you may weary her,
till she wishes she were dead,
But, for heaven's sake, don't put her in
the cold spare bed!
