Bs {ILDREN HAD WHOOPING COUGH Whooping cough, although spec- lally a disease of childhood, is by ne means confined to that period, but may occur at any time of life. It is oie of the most dangerous diseases of infancy, and yearly causes more deaths than scarlet fever, typhoid or diphtheria, and is more common in female than male children, Whooping cough starts with sneezing, watering of the eyes, irritas tion of the throat, feverishness and cough. The coughing attacks occur frequently, but are generally more severe at night. On the first sign of a "whoop" Dr. Wood's Norway Pine Syrup should be administered, as it helps to clear the bronchial tubes of the collected mucous and phlegm, Mrs. George Cooper, Bloomfield, Ont., writes: "it is with pleasure I can write and tell you that there never was a better cough anedicine made than Di. Wood's Norway Pine Syrup. Our children had whooping cough last winter, and that is the only thing that seemed to help them. It loosens up the phlegm so that they could raise it easily. 1 will never be without it." "Dr, Wood's" is 26c¢ and 650c a bottle; put up in a yellow wrapper; three pine trees the trade mark; manufactured by The T. Milburn Co., Limited, Toronto, Ont. - FRANCE ADVANCES CLOCKS.

He suggested the feeding of garbage and grain. He pointed out that New York was making money out of its garbage, The grease in the garbage there was being made use of. "And even all the tin cans, too," remarked a member, Will Give Prizes. Barnet Lipman suggested that in order to stimulate interest in in- creased production that the associa- tion put up some cash prizes, "This was done last summer in a contest for the children," remarked the president, "and it met with great success," A. E: Roney warmly supported Mr. Lipman's idea, and he moved that a special committee be appoint- ed to arrange for suitable prizes "Offer good substantial prizes, 100," sald Mr. Roney. "I regard this as a very good idea." The motion of Mr. Roney met with the hearty approval of all the mem- bers, and it was decided to appoint the committee, which is composed of Barnet Lipman, Edward Anderson, R. J. Reid, M..8. Grace and the presi- dent, The prizes will be offereq for crops of beans, pork and potatoes, and will take in both the city and the county. Details for this competition will be armnged by the committee, and a report presented to the association, for its approval. Get After Hoarders, R. J. Reid stated that some action should be taken to get after the hoarders of fdod, He cited a case where a man would not sell oats for $1 per bushel, and another case where a man was holding two hun dred tons of hay until he could get| $20 a ton, The president stated that the Food Boand was desirous of securing evi- dence of things of this kind, and that if the necessary evidence could be secured he would bring the mat- ter before the Food Control Board. Mr. Lockett wanted to know what was being done on the egg question. What had been done in the case where a million dozen eggs had been found to be stored, and were allowed to go bad? Boost The Fair. The president read a letter from R. J. Bushell, the hustling manager of the Kingston Industrial Fair, in which he asked for support. The members were of the opinion that great praise was due Mr. Bush- ell and the directors for the success they had made of the fair, and at the same time it was felt that every merchant should back up the [air directors in every way possible It was the opinion of all that the exhi« bition was an indirect benefit to ev- ery merchant, and the enterprise should be suppgitdd. '"It is an ind benefit to every- one, and I think it should be hack- ed up by our City Gouncil," remark- ed Mr, Roney. Mr. Roney further suggested a strong deputation to go before the City Council, in support of a sub- A AA AN iit : Killed by Poisons All scientists agree that poisonous ducts in the blood are eliminated by the kidneys and liver. The kidueys act as a kind of filter for these products. When the kidneys are changed or degenerated, by disease or old age, thep these polsons are retained in the body. If we wish to prevent old age coming on too soon, or if we want to increase our chances for & long life, Dr. Pierce of Invalids' Hotel, Buffalo, N. Y., says that you should drink plenty of water daily be- tween means to flush the kidneys. Then procure Anurid at a drag store. This Anurie drives the uric acid out. Scien. tific men have learned that im gout rheumatism, poisonous urie ach Srystals are deposited in or about the joints, in the muscles--whers inflamma- tion is set up. If we wish to keep our kidneys in the best condition a diet of milk and tables, with only a little meat once a day, is the most suitable.

Mr. Grace said that, dan his opin- ion, it would not take much money { to put the main building at the fair | grounds' in: good condition. He had { always had an exhibit there, and he felt that it was his duty to the city to do so. He was ready to subscribe 25, and more, to help the fair. He felt that he was doubly repaid for the money he gave to the exhibition. "Mr. Bushell and the directors have performed miracles," he added. The speaker moved that a commit- tee be formed to devise ways and means 10 help the fair. Mr. Mills also had warm words of praise for the fair, the manager and the directors, He declared that the time was not far distant when the exhibition would be made self-sup- { porting. It was up to the merchants to back it up. The motion to appoint a commit- tee to devise ways and megns of helping on the fair, was carried by a unanimous vote. The committee is composed of R. J. Roger, R. J. Reid, Bert Abernethy, A. E, Roney, W. Y. Mills, D. G. Laidlaw and William Anderson. | Get After Pedlars. | A. E. Roney drew the attention of the members to she faet that the pedlars' by-law was not being strict- ly enforced, and asked that the as- sociation take steps to have it en- | forced. i It was pointed out that the Coun- cil had a special committee to deal with licenses. "The City Council is keen on get- ting all the money, and I think this is a matter that should receive some attention," remarked Mr. Ro- ney. The members decided to have the secretary write the proper authori- ties, and ask that the by-law respect ing pedlars 'be strictly enforced. The association appointed threa teams, to eanvass the city, to secure members for the association. The aim is 10 have every retail merchant in the city join, and the association promises to be a great success. The members who have already signed up are most enthusiastic, i "There is no reason why we should not have a strong organiza- | tion," said one of the members, And no stone will be left unturned to make the association a "hum- mer."

Bland and Wrongly Dismissed. | Winnipeg, March 12.--That Pro- fessors Bland and Irwin were wrong- fully dismissed from Wesley College here, and that the College Board at- tempted to deceive the Manitoba and Saskatchewan conferences in con- nection with the conduct of these Professors, in effect is the conclus- fon reached by the student body of the Methodist College, which held a session on the matter on Wednes- day last.
