Another clause, equally potent in minimizing the evils of the traffic in aggravated circumstances un- dertakes to empower the Govern- ment to establish a dry district temporarily in the vicinity of any construction Work, “or for any other reason.” This clause is of wide application. The phrase, “public Work” shall mean any vailway. canal, road, bridge, min- ing or lumbering operations by the Provonce, a municipality or a private company. The license of any hotel may be suspended in a ‘chosen district and the balance of the hotel-keeper’s license fee returned to him. The condition which the clause now obliterates was drawn to the attention of the Provincial Secre- tary by several deputations of people from local option territory. It was pointed out that several large breweries and distilleries not content with shipping goods to consumers as each order arrived. were storing large quantities of liquor in the districts, which they used as distributing stations, the cost of getting intoxicants being thereby decreased greatly, and the traffic much promoted. The orders for the goods 'had, of course, to come first gfrom the of- fice of the distillery or brewery outside of the district, but such a formality was comparatively sim- ple to get out of. D The following from the Toronto News of April 11th shows radical changes in the License Act which gives strength to local Option mu- nicipalities, It says:â€" Local option in Ontario received from the Ontario Government yes- ten-(lay a powerful leverage which will clear aWay by force of law the most serious handicap to tem- ‘-erance in prohibition localities. Hon. \V.‘ J. Hanna delivered to the Legislature at the evening session the contents of several new clauses in the Liquor License Act. by which the “storing” of liquor in “dry“ municipalities is to be totally prohibited. This means that no liquor will be available in the locality other than what is de- livered to individual orders. his followeres are sincere in the promises they make. Now that politicians on both sides are forced to a serious con- sideration of the great temperance problem. there will soon be some- thing don-e. Next session of par- liament will in all probability see treating made illegal, and later on should Rowell and his party as- sume the reins of office the bars will have to go, if the leader and Very few indeed are willing to treat a whole room full, many of whom are strangers, and perhaps others nothing more than bar-room burns, If treating were made i]- legal, many of the loafing element would go thirsty and the bar- room would be purer because of their absence. We have long thought the treating system was one of the greatest evils in connection with the Whole traffic, and before now the Chronicle has expressed the opinion that the abolition of the system would do more for the promotion of temperance than 10- cal option or any kind-red measure has ever done. We are :not san- guine enough to believe that any law can be made that will (not be violated. Drinking is not going ,to stop .because laws are made against the selling of liquor. 'Ilhe treating system will not be alto- gether annihilated, even if the law does say. “Thou shall not treat thy neighbor to spirituous or in- toxicating liquors.” f. It does seem, however. that a law against treating would be a very easy law to submit to. and one against which there would be very little ob}ection . a big change in the liquor traffic of the Province of Ontario. The temperance sentiment is still strong in Ontario. For along time the agitation has been going on with a gradual gaining of ground by the temperance people. They have been knocked dovm many a time, as we have often said in these columns. But they won’t stay dowcn. As soon as the smoke of battle clears away, and even before it, they are up and at it again. The politicians on both sides of the House are forced to an acknowledgement of their strength and with Rowell’s policy of “Ban- ish the Bar,” and .Whitney’s policy to “Abolish the treating system” the next few years is likely to see THE DURHAM CHRONICLE RADICAL CHANGES DURHAM.

The Titanic Went down on Mon- day morning, and carried fourteen hundred souls to a watery grave. The thought is too serious to con- template. It was her maiden trip, and the great floating palace was thought strong enough to stand any kind of hardship. She was the largest vessel afloat, and the passengers and crew number- ed about 2,200, Of these, 868 are thought to have been saved by the lifeboats, and subsequently picked up in mid-ocean, nearly in a famished condition. The number who perished numbered nearly the total population of Durham. Think of every human being going down to death in one brief moment, and some conception may be formed of the awful calamity of the Titanic’s misfortune. It is the greatest marine disaster in history, and the whole world is moved by the sad intelligence. About 10.20, on Sun- day night, the ill-fated vessel struck an iceberg. and remained afloat only about four hours before sinking in water two miles deep. The anxiety of the doomed pas-l sengers can never be realized. The thought is a sad one: too sad to think about. GREATEST MARINE DISASTER The: Owen Sound Advertiser 3 WHAT THE NEW BILL DOES Labels must not be placed on bottles by any other person than the manufacturer, { Again is a blow delivered at a widely-condemned practice. «It is specifically stated that no *hotel- keeper or an employee shall take in payment or part [payment for liquor or cash or convert into money any time check, pay check, or order for wages. The maximum fine for infringement of the Liquor Act is raised from $200 to $500. or other person, notwithstand- ing that the same or some part thereof may have been pre- viously ordered or appropri- ated to a customer or other person, and any brewer or other person contravening this provision shall be deemed con- clusively to have kept liquor for sale without the license therefor by law required.” Several novel checks upon the hoodwinking of the officials by illicit dealers are provided. For instance, any person found in an intoxicated condition in a local option municipality who refuses to divulge the source of his liquor may be imprisoned for a period not exceeding three months. or until he discloses the information desired. The chief clause reads: “In a municipality in which no tav- ern or shop license is in force, no liquor shall be stored or kept by any brewer or other person Whomsoever, for fu- ture delivery to any customer Moreover, the carrying of liquor by individuals mav be prohibited. The penalties available to the law are fines of not less than $100 or more than $500 or imprisonment of one to six months. The cities of the Province, however, become ex- empt from the working of the new clauses. _ Increases maximum fine for Liquor Act infractions to $500. Allows the imprisonment of “drunks” in local option dis- tricts who refuse to divulge the source of their supplies. Empowers the Government to suspend all sale of liquor in the vicinity of construction work, whefiher by the Govern- ment, municipalities or pri- vate companies. Prohibits casfhin g of pay checks by hotel-keepers or employees. ; Abolishes the practice of storing liquor in local option territory. ~. ‘ $100 REWARD $100 Then all the principles of good health, pure air, pure Water, pure l soil. three things given free by Na- 'ture should be kept pure. When 'they cease to be pure the fault is lours. To keep them pure we must ‘have the land around our homes ’carefully drained, as stagnant swa- gmoisture. Keeping the soil pure iaround our homes is very littlei considered, at least not so much as it should be. I think every kitchen should have a waste pipe or drain f to carry away all dirty [Water from ll our houses and door yards.

A reception was held after the [ceremony at Mpalehurst, the home vof the bride’s parents, fihe mother ’of the bride wearing a handsome ’gown of black satin with touches ’of pink and black hat. Dr. and Mrs. Maclaurin left 0/11 a trip to New York, and on their return will reside in Toronto. The bride trav- elled in a tailor-made suit of navy blue, ermine furs, and a cir- ise flower hat. Guests were present from Toronto, Brantford, Kingston and ‘Lindsay.â€"Toronto Star. The church was decorated with palms and Easter lilies and as the ibride entered the church the choir isang “The Voice That Breathed 'O’er Eden.” She was given away by her father, and wore a hand- some gown of ivory Duchess satin, richly trimmed with Chantilly lace {and pearls, with court train and ltulle veil, fastened With a coronet of orange blossoms.

Tlhe bridesmaids were Miss Georgina Bog and Miss Clare Maclaurin, of Toronto, the former in yellow sat- ‘in, the latter in blue satin. Both wore black picture hats and car- ried pink roses.

The ceremony was performed by the Rev. John Creighton, of Lindsay. I think when We care so much for our outward surroundings we. should also have a much greater care of our inward lives so that when we leave this scene of action We may be ready to enter into a purer and mobler life. There are other habits of un- cleanliness such as (having our ’back yards filled with all kinds of [rubbish such as ashes, old barrels, gtin cans, old boxes etc. I think. ?this is a mistake. We should keep our back yards as clean as the front of our homes. I think a few: shrubs and climbers might hide an unsightly building or fence if trained up against them. I think flowers add to the beauty as Well as to the cleanliness of our sur- roundings. By pulling weeds and cutting grass we may keep our lawns. gardens and home sur- roundings clean and tidy, less we exercise care the Waste Water will soak into the soil and in time may get into our wells and make the water unfit to use. We should try to :have our wells well filled around so that [no surface water or drainag from any source may enter them. I have heard it said that copperas dissolved in water is a sure cure for bad odors in drains.
