the corporation will be called upon tojpay the hospital expenses it seems an in justice that a- municipality should not have any say in the matter except foot the bill we presume that if the council of port elgin had had its way this lady would haye been sent to the county hospital at wallcertori kincardine had a similar case where it had to meet a large bill that was allowed to run tor months in a toronto hospital and the town was notnotified the bili was paid and the patient was brought to our own hospital and cared for but the municipalities must pay kincardine review the crop last year

satisfactory from a financial stand rsk point to the municipality of the village of acton it was estimated that at the reduced rate at which the water is metred to the railway company j a revenue of

the pen of albertelaing formerly of acton now superinten dent of the antisaloon league of the state of ver mont in which he asserts why all this beer and wine agitation the word intoxication spells the reason why the demand for beer and wine is a de mand for intoxicating liquors and this demand comes largely from the old alcoholic appetites that were left high and dry in the great american sa hara which was created when prohibition came six years ago literally tens of thousands of american citizens still have the old craving for a g of beer or something stronger and they are the folks who on some of our trains carriages for xadles only have been placed on one occasion these- corrdages were all occupied y the fair sex consequently a number of lacuw were obliged to prooure seats in com

national blessing to the american people therefore the writer suggests we will do well to go the rest of the way without either beer or wine editorial notes the improved method of marketing hogs
