That whereas public attention is at present muchdirected te the considera- tien cf the admittedly oreat evils cf lu- temperance, it is desira'lde that the mimd cfthe people should be clearly ascer- tained on te question cf Prohibition by means of a Dominion Plebiscite.

An ancher cf hope and safety is feund lu the energising action of Mltîne with Cocos Wine, which imparts almost magically, strength and viger te tbe faiing pewrers,and through its nutritive and tonie properties renews those functienal activities upen which depend heslth cf body and mind. Maltine with Cocos Wine rapidly resteres appetite, impreves, digestion, imparts toue and vigor te the nerveus system; lu a word is a strength-giver cf nnequalled excel- lence.

Methodjst District Meeting., The annual District Meetinoe ofEow- mauville district, Methodist CNurch,was heid on the 2th and 21 st. at Newcýastle 1 under the able and enial presidency of the chairman,Rev. 'aleb Parker. Rev. N. D. Drew was electeci secretary. A careful rex iew of the work led to a grateful recognition of God's pres- ence throughout the year. A sligh t increase in meinbership was reported. The funds generally are scarcely up to the last- year's, but the aggregate 'of salaries and missionarv givrngs shows a small advance. The number of Sab- bath Schoois and Epworth Leagues is increased considerably and over three hundred members hax e been added ini the year. The ycung men of the dis- trict passed their examiuations with flying colors. Jas. Batstone will be ordained in June; T. H. P. Anderson is advanced one year and Charles W. Barrett of Newcastle, Fletcher Chap - man of Orono circuit, and Fred H. Hocward, sou of 11ev. E. E. Howard of H-ampton, were received, subject ýto conference action, as probationers. 11ev. Jas.

Clarkie in a resolution calls for a commission to be appointed by conference te re-arrange the circuits, where necessary. Hevs. A. B. Demili and E. E.,lHoward mcx ed. "That we as a District Meeting view with aiarm the effort that is being made to compel the Province of Manitoba to accept the Remedial Bill for the establishmient ef Separate Schools and the action of the heirarchy of the churcli of Rome iu commauding its members to support only vsnch represeutatives te the Domin- ion'Parliament during the coming elec- tien as N'etc fer coesive measures. This threatening attempt of the church te use the Dominien Goverument for the exteutation and propagation of itspow- er lu this country should command our earnest attention. We would therefore urge upon thc voters lu the present carnpaign, the necessity ef firmly oppos- ugail those lu favor ef fettering the action cf our sister province in this matr that we maY maintain the inde- pnet and non-sectarian position she lias se firmlv tak-en."' Carried unani- meusly. After recognising the kind- ncss andl restorcd heaith et the local paster, 11ev. G. H. Cepeiand, and the generesity cf the Newcastle people, the meeting closed te meet a vear henice at Bowmnanvillc. When a man cwns a blooded herse lie is aiways careful of its lieaith. fle loks after its diet and is particular that the feediug shall be regniar and riglit. While lie is doing this it is likely as not that lie is him- self snffering ftom soine disease or disorder that if left te itself will go on and ou till it develops seriously. When the trouble gets se bad that lie can- flot werk, lie wili begin te give himseif the tare lie gave the horse at the start. The tinie te cure a disease is at the beginnîng and better than ail is te se watcli your health that diseasewîll neyer core. Goed, pure, rich, red blood is the best insurance against disease of any kind. Aluîcst al diseases corne frein impure or impeverished blood. Keep thie blood pure and strong -aud disease can find ne foothlod. That is the principle ou which Dir. Pierce's Golden Medical Iliscovery werks. It cleanses, purifies and en riches the blood; it puts and keeps the wliole body in perfect order. MaIres appetîte good, digestion strong, assimilation perfect. It brings rud- dy, virile health. "I got a cancer on my tengo'e and lad it eut o. 1 consulted fifteen différent physicians witliout deriving any benefit. At last 1 turned to Dr. Pierces Golden Medicai Discovery. 1 persisted in its use and my health is better thau ever liefore.
