THE CENSUS This is census year in Great Britain and her colonies. The census was taken in Ihe I'nited Empire on April 2. In Can- ada the ti({ures will be gathered in June. At the last cenNus, the Empire, in 1901, showed a population of nearly four bun- dled millionâ€" about one million less than thepopulati<jn of China. Time was when the census was very unpopular, and people refused point blanK to give the iii formation asked for, but now there is a better understanding of the matter and it is rarely an attempt is made to withhold information. As it has developed, the census is a cumber- some thing and is a vast compilation of statistics dealing with many phases of trade other than merely discovering the number of inhabitants a country conuins, as it was originally intended for. The euunprators for the i-iding of East and Centre Grey have now been appointed and the names of the success- ful officials who will soon be " pokmg their noses into everybody's business '' are to be lound on our tirst page. These nieu must be answered freely and without equivocation when they deign to ques- tion you. There is a penalty if you don't. It is up to us all to toe the mark and speak up. Hon. A. 0.

THIS IS SPRING I The value of wire fences and snow fences is easily seen at this time of the year. Those whose misfortune it is to be compelled to travel by our rural high- ways these days know all about it. Stretches of snow and mud alternate with an aggiavatini? frequency, and trav- el is neither easy or comfortable. Last winter's drifts are all that remain, and they were caused by rail fences in a great many cases. It is a large proposition to proijerly control the problem of winter roadi (which, by the way, are just a* live a problem as auinmer roads in these yean of five month.s' snow) and the sooner it is met the better. The erection of a stretch of wire fence here, aud a piece of properly designed^snow fence there, will work marvels in promoting pleasant trav- el conditions for the winter months. If the problem cwild be met when it is at its worst it would soon receive at- tention, but Ihe precautionary steps niuit be takcn'.in the summer when problems of grading and Rravelling loom large and occupy the eyes aud minds of our town- ship fathers. Can not the Council this year take some steps to niako the winter roads more passable / ^o^man .Jacobi of Owen Sound annoyed a young woman and called it inn. The magistrate thought he should pay for his fun and taxed him $2 and costs. The Sun says a few jolts like this will " help to discourge the young pups who stand aronnd doorways and make fresh remarks at girls." It would be the proper caper for municipal councils to de<- clare these " pups " as coming under the provincial law aud tax them up same as the rest. Make 'em carry a badge, too, as a proof that the tax has been pa<d, and as a reminder to all that they are outlawed from the bnman race. )octors Condemn ^ Oily Liniments ?he Public are Warned to Be Careful of These Strong- Smelling Oily Liniments Containing Harmful Acids, Ammonia, Etc. Rod and Gun All anglers will heartily welcome the April issue of Itod and Uun in Canada, published by VV. J. Taylor, Limited Woodstock, Ontario. As usual this number heralds the approach of the fishing season and gives all those who have waited patiently fur a renewal of their pleasures with rod and line, added joya of anticipation of the good time now so near. A beautifully illustrated article of a camping and fishing trip on the French > River is followed by an equally good account of a similar outing in Prince Edward Island, the gem of the Gulf of the Sr. Liwrence. Many other good things are to be found in the same issue. Sportsmen never fail to^find something to suit their tastes in each issue of Rod and Gun. An aftermath of the investigation into the alleged p.iddini( of the Brant voters' list took the form of an attempt at the Council meetinsf here on Saturday la.?t to strike Clerk Miehlhauien from the pay- roll of the township. A motion to this e Joct was laid on the tibia by Councillors Farr and Tanner, and it was only the casting vote of Reeve McCalluin that saved the clerk's scalp from being swept into the basket. It was the closest call to an official beheadiuf; that has been seen here fur some time. â€" Bruce Times. ABOUT TRACTION ENGINES Now that the season has about arrived when traction enijines will once more Iw flittiuK along our highways it will b« in- structive to note the law covering their movement across bridges, of which thii di.strict is so plentifully supplied. There have been many bridge accidents in this county, and several in this immediate vicinity. Thrcshermcn and the public generally will read with interest [the law { as laid down by the Provincial Engineer of Highways which we ([uote : "The Ontario law re^tarding traction engines provides that no traction engine exceeding 20 tons in weight shall be used on-the public highways. Whore a trie- tion engine not exceeding 8 tons in weixht i.s used for threshing or road con- struction, the municipality i.s responsible for the strength of bridges over which it may pass, but the owner of the traction engine is recpiired to protect the floor of bridges and culverts from injury, usinir .suitable plank for this purpcso. Where the traction engine exceeds 8 tons in weight, the owner of it must cross the bridge at his own risk, and is rosponsible for any injury* he does to the bridge. He is n( t, however, a law-breaker until the ttaction engine exceds 20 tons in weight Many people have clung: to the old- ashloned Idea that a thick, greasy Inlment U the best kind. Doctors ay not â€" and they know. Recently a niunber of these white, •lly liniments were analyzed, and they vere found to contain an enormously ilgh percenta«o of harmful acids, and uch Irritating chemicals as ammonia, tc. For the moment they may cause . warm sensation when first applied, mt their continued us© never cures heumatlsm, and only deteriorates the kin. sets up Inflammation and causes ndless trouble. When a doctor warns you to quit islng a white, oily UnJment â€" do so. He ;nows that a thick liniment can't pen- etrate, can't sink through the pores md reach the seat of the pain. When asked his opinion a few days igo. Dr. Rol)€rts stated that he consldr •red a strong, penetrating, paln-sub- lulng liniment such as "Nervlllne," to )e superior to any of the white, am- nonla liniments. In his twenty-flva /ears of practice he had witnessed ;ases of rheumatism, sciatica, and umbago that simply would not re- ipond to ordinary treatment â€" butNer- /lllne cured them. The same physl- â- ian also spoke of the great advant- iges of keeping a preparation like .\ervlllne In the house alwa>-s, be- cause of cramps, diarrhoea, stomach ilsorders. earache, toothache, head- iche, and such minor ailments. Ner- vlllne Is a first-class cure. There la scarcely an ache or a pain, internal or external, that Nervlllne won't cure. In thousands of homes no other paln- rellevlng medicine Is used. Fifty vear»' continued success and the en- lorsement of the profession are prop! that Nervlllne Is the liniment for th« aome. C O â- Â» W ^ iM M Hovas You can painlessly remove any corn.
