Jewels, candy, flowers, manâ€"that is the order of a woman’s preferences. Jewels form a magnet of mighty power to the average woman. Even that greatest of all jewels, health, is often ruined in the strenuous efiorts to make or save the money to pur- chase them.

It will promptly arrest‘con-i sumption in its early stages and heal the aflected lungs and bronchial tubes and drive the dread disease from the system.

Nothing as Wedded, as he supposed, for the time only. to a Filipino wife. at least one United States army officer has found his foreign matrimonial alli- ance an insurmountable barrier to his marriage to a Leavenworth girl, to whom he was engaged before his transfer to duty in Orient. The Fili- pino wife has recently arrived in San Francisco, and is reported to be pre- paring for an immediate trip to Fort Leavenworth to claim her recreant husband. At least six officers at Fort Leavenworth are similarly situ- ated. and others are scattered throughout other military posts in the United States. The enlisted men are much perturbed, too, for many of them took Filipino wives. Many of the oficers are known to have taken native wives during their stay in the Philippines, on the theory that the contraco was to continue only during their stay on the islands. When their commands returned to the States these women were abandoned without a thought that the ceremony would be considered binding. Num bers of army men are engaged to American girls. and have been looking forward for years to marrying them as soon as they were reassigned to posts in their native land. It is un- derstood that the “far Department has recently issued a ruling upon this question. which holds that all these Filipino marriages are valid and binding in the United States J 0119 8thâ€"3c. We, the L. O. L. of South Grey, wish to intimate .to our friends and brothern of Ontario that we will col- obnte the Battle of the Boyno on July 13th at Harriston. Come and enjoy I» good day with the Horrilton L. 0. L. 1152. The laws of Ontario regarding stray cattle are very definite. In cases where cattle are at large and wander on to the premises of one who is not their owner. there are two courses to pursue. So soon as an animal is dis- covered on a man’s premises, he may drive it to the pound and notify the clerk of the municipality. who will attend to its release or disposition. or he may secure it on his own prem- ises and retain it while he is comply- ing with statutory requirements for its disposition, which are these: He must first publish a notice of the presence of such a beast onlhis pro- perty in a newspaper issued in his locality and keep the same running for three consecutive weeks. If the owner fails to claim the animal its custodian must keep it for two months and if its value exceeds twenty dollars it must be sold, and after all expenses of harboring and sale, which must not exceed 820, have been deducted, the balance must be handed to the treasurer of the municipality, in case the lawful own- er of the animal has not in the mean- time been found. If the value cf the animal is below twenty dollars it becomes the property of the man on to whose premises it has strayed after he has properly advertised its pres- ence. When an animal is claimed ““1 ”Deuces of pasture or feeding are. determined the law makes pro- vxsion against exorbitant charges. Any Person harboring animals which are not his own, and does not adver- tise their presence is liable to prose- cution, when a heavy fine may be imposed by a justice of the peace.â€" Exchange. ‘ Hmiston, June 15th.
