Sure- it when :x man allows his tongue to wag freely in saying lewzl things about our wives. our sis- ters and our mothers. is forgetful of the evil he is doing. If evil is ‘moken of a man he can defend himself in some way. but in many cases the poor woman or girl is helpless to take Up the cudgels against a vile traducer of the female character. Only a few days ago a citizen in referring to this matter expressed such ex- treme disgust at the slanderers of womankind that we felt impelled to make a reference to the evil. and we hope that all who have been guilty of such disreputaole conduct in the past will be more careful in all time to come. A thoughtless remark made about a woman may injure the rest of her life, even though there may not be a word of truth in the vile statement. The young or old or middle aged man who indulges in low gossip t‘o the detriment of a woman’s character is nOt deserving of the name of a man and no such conduct should be tolerated among civilized people. It’s a good plan to speak well of a person if you can, and in most cases where you can’t speak well it is better to remain silent. . From the general increase in the cost 0! material, the publish- ers are being hit like other people. A short time ago we sent in a‘ package 0! razors to Toronto. and! stated the tune week we would discgntinue the collection. Since then we have received a letter from Sir. Thomas Lee, of Toronto, and find that razors and more re. tors are needed yet. The urgency of the case impel: us to re-o'pen our request. and again ask that further contributions be made. We have already collected and sent one hundred and thirty-six. and hope to be able to collect many more. We would like every one who has I ond. however. like to also mention that in a letter just re- ceived lrom the Master Cutler. he states that while the Authorities appreciate what we in Canada have done. the need for more ra- zors is still great and will con- tinue to increase as the war lasts, so that I hope i! it is possible. for you to obtain more you will endeavor to do so, as no matter what any of us may do here, it is very little in comparison with what the soldiers at the front are doing for us THE DURHAM CHRONIClE an old razor. a discarded razor, or a razor or any kind he doesn’t need to bring or send it to this office at his earliest convenience.

We were not under the impression when writing the paragraph to which he takes exception. that any member of the council was in any way antagonistic ‘to the company. but from what we could glean the reeye and others of the council were of the opinion that a number of things had been force the collections? We pause for an answer. As an observer at the council the impression was left on us that many things would be brought to light in the near fu- ture; i! we were wrong we shall be Named to be put right. conducted loosely in the past, and that future councils should be more stringent in their dealings.

BACK TO HER TENDER YEARS Thanking you in anticipation M Editor, for thus encroaching 0 your valuable space. T. G. GOOdchil If the C. J. Furber Co. has be- come financially involved with the town, or if there is anything due the town, the undersigned has re- ceived no intimation. and would be glad to have the particulars. As a private individual I car-e nothing for the thinly veiled attack contained in the remarks of the reeve, but as the surviving and present responsible member of the firm in question. who for nearly three years past ‘has sacrificed himself and family in order to protect those to whom the firm is under obligation. I do most em- phatically protest against this “stab in the back.” from one. who as a prominent citizen. now holdâ€" ing an important public position, takes advantage of that position to cast a slur on an institution. which, notwithstanding mistakes that may have been made. is struggling along under adverse conditions, and endeavoring to do ”‘9‘ right: _ _ C A ‘ About sending me something for Christmas.

Dear Sir;â€" “In your report, under the issue of January 20th covering the proceedings of the Town Council on the previous Monday. appears the following paragraph.

" ‘After the appointments, some discussion arose regarding the C. J. Furber C0., and the opinion was given by the reeve that previous councils had been too slack in dealing with this concern. Coun- cillor Lloyd voiced his opinion as to general business laxity in re- gard to the collection of taxes.” With these remarks Mr. Editor. the matter apparently ended. No details were given. Nothing is said in explanation of the way in which previous councils have neen “too slack in dealing with this concern.” The taxpayers and the public in general are left to draw their own conclusions, and the in- ference is that. either the afore- said Iirm have become seriously involved financially With the town. that favors have been granted not included in the agreement. or that the taxes have not been paid.

LETTER TO ’13!) EDITOR SOMEWHERE IN FRANCE THE DURHAM CHRONICLE SEIZED BY ALLIES ’Athena, but five miles distant from NOTE: â€".French scientists affirm that “Anuric” is thirty- -se\en times more active than lithia in eliminating uric acid, and is a harmless but reliable chemical com und that may be safely given to chil ren, but should he used only by grown- ups who actually wish to restore their kidneys to perfect health, by conscientiously using one boxâ€"or more in extreme casesâ€"as "Anuric" ( thanks to Doctor Pierce’ 3 achiexement) is by far the most perfect kidney and bladder corrector obtainable. This is a recent discovery of Doctor Pierce, who is head of the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute at Buffalo, N. Y. Experiments at Doctor Pierce' s Hospital for several years proved that there 1s no other eliminator of uric acid that can be compared to it. For those easily recognized symptoms of inflam- mationâ€"as backache, scalding urine and frequent urination, as well as sedi- ment in the urine, or if uric acid 1n the blood has caused rheumatism, it is simply wonderful how surely "Anuric" acts. The best of results are always obtained in cases of acute rheumatism in the joints, in graxel and gout, and invariably the pains and stiffness which so frequently and persistently accom- pagy the disease rapidly disappear. Dr. Pierce’s Pellets are the orig little Liver Pills. One little Pellet. t laxativeâ€"three for a cathartic. Go to your nearest drug store and simply ask for a wcent package of “Anuric,” manufactured by Dr. Pierce, or send 10 cents to Dr. Pierce for a large trial package. If you suspect kidney or bladder trouble. send him a sample of your water and describe symptoms. Doctor Pierce’s chemist will examine it, then Dr. Pierce will report to you, without fee or charge. 69OOQOQOQOQOQOOOOOOOOOOQOO Mrs. Mary Ann, Gordon. wife of' the late James GOrdon. of third concession, Egremont. now de-' ceased. passed away at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Alfred Mc- Cabe, Varney, on Monday Jan-; uary 17.
