John Dryden, ex~Minister of Agriculture, when interviewed by The News yesterday, regarding the request of the Provincial Fairs As- sociation that the Act forbidding horse racing at hire be repealed. “There is a place for these horse- races, but noc at the fall fair.” con~ tinned Mr. Dryden. LESSONS FROM WHITBY. “ I was for many years a director and finally president of the South Ontario Agricultural Association at Whitby. Our fairs were purely ag- riculture and were always a success. We had plenty of speeding in the ring of horses owned by the peOple in the community. but no horse-rac- ing. One year we would have prizes for the hem brass band in the country and bands would come from all over the Province to compete. Aucther year we would have special prizes for carriage horses. Another year, per- haps a parade of cattle and horses. which. by the way, was always an at- tractive feature when well done. He did not object, however. to what is known as speeding in the ring He believed there was amuk- ed difierence between “speeding” and " racing.” The introduction of horse-racing, Mr. Dryden believes. would ruin any Fall fair. Where large purses were given, the rest of the show didn’t really amount to much, and the fair deveIOped into a mere Sporting meet. patronized almost solely by the sport- ing element of the community. All others stayed away, and the fair eventually failed. " Suppose.” he said, “ a number of horses enter the ring. If the horses are judged according to their merits. not only is their speed taken into consideration. but other qualities. such as soundness of limb. soundness of body. style, etc. The prize is then awarded to the best horse. which however. is not necessarily the speediest. We ofier One Hundred Dollars Re- ward for any case of Catarrh that cannot be cured by Hall’s Catarrh Cure. "This judging of horses is what the law means when it allows ‘speed- ing in the ring.’ On the other hand in horse-racing speed is the only test and the horse that gets there firsc gets the money. regardless of any defects he may have.” “ We put up all the buildings which are there now. but a few years ago they decided to introduce horse-rac- ing, and from that time the fair went down, until now. I understand, it is to be transferred to another town. “ I think it is the same thing every- where. You can’t make the two things hitch. The best class of peo- ple won’t patronize the fair at which horse racing is the principal feature.” "Speeding in the ring is agood feature," Mr. Dryden seplied. “par- ticularly if the prizes are large enough to bring the best horses in the community out,”-â€"Toronto News of Feb’y 27th. " But. would you allow speeding in the ring ‘3” he was asked. 99V LIGHT THE FIRE [5' DO THE REST RACING AT FAIRS. How‘s ThiS? KATE COCHRANE, AGENT, DURHAM The OURNEY. TILDEN COMPANY Manufacturers If you sympathize withoour objeCt will you. through your paper, urge the discontinuance of this practice now thoughtlesslv indulged in ? If the press generally would take the matter up we would soon have such a public sentiment of respect for the flag that it would no longer be put to the indignity of calling attention to the sale of some poor man’s furni- ture or his cow. WALTER H. BLIGHT Chairman. D. CREIGuTox, Sec. of Committee. Toronto, February 17th, 1906. To THE EDITOR : The flag of our country being the emblem of Britain’s might and glory, it ought, whenever or Wherever dis- played, to evoke feelings of patriOtic pride in every British subject, but this Association views with regret the prevelent and increasing custom of making it the medium of calling attention to auction sales and other- wise using it for advertising purposes demeaning the flag and taking from it the respect with which it ought to be viewed. Resolved, therefore, that the President appoint a committee to act with kindred Associations or 0th- erwise in endeavoring to secure a dis- continuance of the practice of using the British or Canadian flags for such purposes. Sunâ€"Believing that the press will be the most efiective means of accom- plishing what our Associations aims at, I desire to direct your attention to the following resolution passed at the recent Annual Meeting of the Veterans of 1806 Association : OUR CO 'JNTRY’S FLAG. The only nourishment that bread affords is that which the flour contains. Flour making is merely putting the nu- tritious part of wheat in shape for bread making. Good milling is the kind that takes from the wheat all that is nutritious, nothing else. Royal Household Flour is made from carefully selected Manitoba Hard spring wheat. Bread baking is merely putting flour in appetising form. It goes farther, does better baking and is more satisfactory in every way than any other flour.

She told him she could neither read nor write. The o‘oliging butcher did as he was asked. and found she had won £400. Being a wily man he told her she had not won a prize, but that he would buy her tickets for £3, as the numbers were his lucky ones. She laughed and accepted. He under- stood her laughter later. when he found that the numbers of the tickets had been carefully altered in ink. Inquiries showed that the girl had victimized other greedy tradesmen in similar fashion to the extent of about £300. If you knew how bad for heatlh constipation is you would be more careful.

My digestion failed entirely and I was able to eat very little. I took violent stomach pains and sufi- ered terribly from headaches. My doctor said it was “nerve exhaustion” and I might never be well. My troubles increased, for as I grew weaker I became subject to neuralgia and rheumatism. Sleep finally for- sook me and I almost lost heart. Different medicines didn’t help. Doctors couldn’t do me any good. I Was desperate when I heard of Farm- zone. The firSt box convinced me it was just what I needed. It toned up my stomach. gave me a Splendid appe- tite and then my recovery seemed easier.

Public School In specter Irwin said the system of ed- ucation in vogue in Canada had been subjected to critical examination. The result showed many excellent features; also numerous defects. One of these was the unequal taxation in difierent parts of the country. An- other was the frequent change of teachers as well as the disappearance of male teachers. The difliculty of procuring adequate equipment in ru- ral schools was also a drawback. He said the school section system should be abolished. It was a system in. augurated when the country Was sparsely settled and now that the sections were becoming well pOpulat. ed it should be replaced by a more modern system. He advocated a county system In which the county council 60016 be Riven more control over school afiairs. and that a county board of trustees have charge of all the schools as has the aohnnl hag-fl REMEMBER: .

Price 50¢. per box of fifty tablets at all dealers; In a recent public address in Eng- land, Sir Frederick Treves, the King’s physician, distinctly defines his posi tion as to the use of alcoholic drinks. He places alcohol in the category of dangerous poisons. which in the case of many alcoholic beverages is made poisonous by the presence of fuseloil. found in the brands of liquor con- sumed by many of the poorer classes He also notes as a significant and en- couraging fact triat the medical pro- fession are gradually abandoning the use ot alcohol as a medicine. Here is a paragraph from the Baronet’s ad dress: As a work-producer alco hol is exceedingly extravagant, and like other extravagant measures, it is apt to lead to a physical bankruptcy. It is well known that troops cannot march on alcohol. It was with the relief column that moved on to Lady smith. It was an extremely trying time apart from the heat of the weather. In that column of 30,000 men. the first who dropped out were not the tall men, or the short men. or the big men. or the little mewâ€"but the drunkards, and they dropped out as clearly as if they had been labeled with a big letter on their backs.” He ridicules the plea that alcohol is a protection againSt cold, and adds his experience : “ Having spent the greater part of my life in Operating. I can assure you that the person of all persons that I dread to see enter the Operating theatre is the drinker. I share with the late Sir James Paget his absolute dread of the secret drinker.” (Contributed by the W. C. T. U. HEALTH FOR WOMEN. N ervousness, A Calamity. he cohoâ€"cl board Mays Argus.
