but his treatment did no good.I tried salves and lotions and washes of all kinds, imt the sores still spread.The disease finally became so bad tint the child\u2019s face and shoulder were completely covered with sores.Imagine the pain the poor child (not a year old) had to suffer ! \u201cOne day a friend advised me to try Zani-Ruk.I did not have much faith at that timo that Zam-Bulc would be able to work a cure, but as there could bo no harm in trying it, I obtained a supply.At that time the disease had defied all remedies I had tried for over a year.By the time I had tried one box of Zam-Buk there was a marked improvement.I continued tiio Zam Bnk treatment and day by day the sores showed signs of improvement, until the eczema was confined to the child\u2019s shoulder, one sore on which had been particularly deep.By degrees this, also, was healed, and finally Zam-Buk banished every trace of the disease.\u201cI have waited several months before mentioning this case to you, in order to see if there was any return of the eczema.'There has not been any return ; the cure being permanent, and there is no scar or trace of the disease from which the child suffered «o long.A ou may publish this information if you wish, n that every mother may know tlie value of Zam-Buk.\u201d Zam-Buk is just as good for cold sores, chapped bands, piles, blood-poison, ulcers, bad leg, varicose ulcers, scalp sores, frost bite, baby\u2019s chafed places, etc.', Also as an embrocation for rheumatism, sciatica, etc.All Druggists and Stores, 50c box or Zam-Buk Co., Toronto, for price.BOLTON CENTRE.Mr.John Consens and family, of New York, haVe moved into the house in the village commonly colled the F.A.Willard house.Recent arrivals and departures : Mr.and Mrs.O.C.Mooney visited relatives at Foster on Tuesday;

Government has not given them the slightest encouragement in the way of the building of railways.While the tiado of the lands on either side of Tripoli-Ihe Egyptian Sudan and Tunis\u2014-have been fostered by the laying out of roads and railways.Tripoli itself docs not possess an inch of railway, and is devoid of decent roads.Trade with the hinterland of Tri poll is still difficult.The prime rea son for this is that the coastal region is divided from the interior by a desert.\u201cShips, of the dessert have therefore to lie utilized, and two or three times a week caravans\u2014 composed of Jewish merchants and Arab came drivers\u2014leave the town of Tripoli for Jebel.It is interesting to note that so secure is the Tripolitan Jew from raids by Tripolitan bandits, that many times a Jew will cross nnd recross the desert alone on an ass or on a mule without being set upon.Manual labor is poorly paid in the country, and the Jews cling tenaciously to the trades in which they cannot he excelled- -the jewellery and the tailoring trades.A number of them are also carpenters, tin nd bootmakers.Some 100 families live by dressing ostrich feathers, which is lucrative work.They also take a pact in the work of agriculture-being, by their physical condition, well fitted for it.Tripoli lias over twnety synagogues and services arc held there three times a day.Gn Saturday afternoon thq Jews go cn masse to the synagogues to hear discourses by the local rabbis, or by an itinerant Haham, (wise man) from the Holy Land.Everybody rigorously \u2022 observes the Sabbath, although tine local custom has sanctioned the playing of cards in the cafes on Saturday afternoon.As Jews of African origin, the community in Tripoli have separate rites and customs.Among others, they march in a body on the first day of Passover to celebrate the miracle of the crossing of the Red Sea.-4- Cc'n p Horse commit suicide?This fheorv is brought forward through a singular affair at Brighouse.England.About a week aga a horse fell into a pond into the viridity of the Brig-house Cricket Field, and it was got out after two\u2018hours of strenuous exertion.A dav or two later the horse found its way to the pond and this time met with its death.Brighouse people are asking if the horse went there purposely.It Is Easy To Phone Think how easy it is to order from us by phone.No time wasted\u2014no trip to make\u2014no Packages to carry\u2014and no extra cost for our quick delivery.The best shopping method known.\u2014Phone your orders\u2014 anything\u2014prescriptions, drugs, sundries, in fact anything you want wili be delivered to your door with all possible baste nnd speed.Griffith\u2019s Drug Store 121 Wellington Street KODAK STORE Developing and Printing ' Amateurs.for ONE-CLABa CABIN CALLED SECOND This style carried in the newest models and all leathers.JIMIBÏÏSCO.\"Mirrojcopt'Kg;;

by\tlarge\tland-\tgeneral\tbusiness of the\tcountry, I\twill holders and capitalists\tof\tGreat\tconfine\tthe few remarks I make\ttc -.ritain, who.from patriotic\tmo-\tthe statement, a copy\tof which\tyou tives in some instances,\tare making\thave m\tyour hands.To meet the wishes of the Share holders, expressed at several of oui meetings, and to conform to the eus tom of the other Banks in Canada we have shown the amount expendiJ on new Bank Premises during thr past year.We have also obtained valuations of all our lands and build ings, and I do not think we can be accused of overvaluation when we place the value in our statement at $4,000,000, somewhat less than the value of the land alone.In fact, to the amount of $9,000,000 should be added the cost of uncompleted buildings, making it $700,000 more.The increase of $3,400,000 over former statements has been employed partly to increase our Rest to an amount equal to our Paid-up Capital, and the surplus has been carried to our Profit & Loss Account.Speaking as an individual, and in no way as a mouthpiece of the Board, I would not advocate increasing, in future, our Rest beyond the Paid-up Capital.I should always like to keep the Profit & Loss Account at its present amount, as a Reserve, to he used wiien the Direc tors might see fit to do so in the interests of the Bank, and any surplus profits, after full appropriations have been made, l would suggest ills crib \"ting among the Shareholders.The shrinkage in deposits, as compared with last year, is accounted for by the fact that at that time we had very large special deposits, which were shortly afterwards distrib'T.od.The regular deposit business of the Bank has been satisfactory.The increase in our Loans is an evidence that our Canadian business is stead-ly increasing.I think you will agree ith me that the statement lj a strong and satisfactory statement.The President has mentioned that have decided to retire from active Executive work.I have held the stage for a long time, for I find my service in the General Manager\u2019s position is ore than double that of any of my predecessors.I have kept in mind, owever, that while Corporations may go on forever, the men who manage them come and go, and with that in view I have always tried to arrange that the exit of any one man should not in any way interfere with the business of the Bank.In passing over the reins of office to my successor, I feel that I am doing a good thing for the Bank and its Shareholders.Mr.Meredith has spent all his active business life in the service of the Bank, is familiar with its policy, is trained in its traditions, and has been uniformly successful in his previous appointments.I have no doubt he will be equally successful in the high office to which he is called, and J am quite satisfied your property will be handled conservatively.Rev.O.H.Parker than made a brief address, enquiring whether there was a prospect of increai^d dividends to the shareholders, witl?the increased earning capacity of the Bank.Mr.ft.B.Angus\u2014\u2019\u2019This question lia» already been dealt with by the retiring General Manager.He was of course only speaking for himself and without any knowledge of what the start in life to the surplus population or the Mother Country.Experimental farms for the instruction and convenience of settlers are also of im mense advantage and are gradually being extended to every province of the Dominion.A review of the various branches of trade and industry throughout the Dominion is beyond my province, although the Bank in its widespread operations is vitally interested in the commercial life of the country, and touches it at every point.I, there fore, attempt but a brief summary.The dry goods trade of 1911 has been somewhat unsatisfactory.In the spring stocks were heavy and the demand light, this being to some extent a legacy of the previous year.But a decided improvement has \u2019 set in with much better prospects.In Canadian cottons a largely in creased trade has been experienced with firm prices, and imports are gradually decreasing.Early in the year also our Wooflen and Worsted manufacturers suffered rrom the competition of foreign im ports.Goods intended for the United States, where the markets were over tocked, were, according to Bradford eports, sold in Canada at a sacri fice, but that condition of things has been overcome and the mills are now well employed in goods for next seaj on.Indeed, competent authorities re Port the wholesale trade to be at Present in a comparatively flourishing condition and increasing in volume.The iron and hardware trade and groceries are said to be decidedly good, although profits are somewhat curtailed by excessive competition.In boots and shoes a large and apparently profitable business has been transacted, notwithstanding the high price of leather.A most remarkable change has taken place in the values of butter and chee:-e, as compared with those of a year ago.Farmers have been receiving 3c more per lb.for cheese and Sc to 6c more for butter.The advance has been real ized on a con-.iderable portion of the \u201ceason's make\u2014indicating that, the farmers have received at least $3,-OOO.OOO more for their exports of dairy products than for the corresponding period of last year.The hay crop of the Dominion for 151] was less than the previous year, but the farmers have realized from it a larger return by $2 to $3 per ton, and a good demand exists both in the T.ruted states and Great Britain.The export of cattle continues to grow :es- each succeeding year, this being due in a great measure to the larger consumption of the home market hr,-: the increasing population both in the East, and West.The f: .,'.e;.es on our Atlantic Coast have beer, exceedingly prosperous and last year everyone who handled fish made money through the transaction.The fAherrnen cad the biggest catch and obta .-.ed the highest prices re corde:\tT) , j.e true generally both in regard to our Maritime Provinces and Newf- ndland.year might bring forth, when we shall be in a better position to ascertain what the profits are.There is no doubt whatever that if the profits are adequate an additional dividend will be paid, but this depends so much on the outcome of the year's business that nothing definite can be said in anticipation.\u201d The annual report was then unanimously adopted.It was moved by Mr.Hugh Paton, seconded by Mr.George Hooper, that the thanks of the meeting be presented to the President, the Vice-President, and Directors, for their attention to the interests or the Bank.Mr.Hugh Paton\u2014\u201cI am informed that it is not usual to speak to this motion.I will therefore content myself by remarking that it is peculiarly applicable to the present occasion, judging by the events of the year, and the work of the Bank as shown by the report just presented.\u201d The motion was then unanimously adopted.The President\u2014\u2018\u2018Gentlemen, on behalf of the President, the Vice-President and Directors, I wish to thank you for this mark of renewed confidence.We have been able to carry on the affairs of the Bank during the year, with the loyal support of the staff, all of whom have been anxious to work for tbe furtherance of the interests of this Institution.I feel that all the officials and staff have done their duty, and on behalf of them I wish to express iour appreciation of the cordial support we have always received in our work.\u201d (Applause.) Moved by Sir Thomas G.Shaughnessy, seconded by Mr.C.R.Hos-mer, that the thanks of the Meeting be given to the General Manager, the Assistant General Manager, the Superintendents, the Inspectors, the Managers, and other Officers of the Bank, for their services during the past year.This was unanimously adopted.The General Manager (Sir Edward Clouston)\u2014\u201cOn behalf of myself, the Assistant General Manager, and the other officers of the Bank, I wish to thank you for this kind motion.I have always realized that the success of anyone in the position I have held depends largely upon the efficiency and loyalty of his staff.I feel that I have had that to a great extent in the past, and on behalf of the Staff l have much pleasure in thanking you for your sign of continued confidence.\u201d\t| Mr.C.H.Cahan, K.C.\u2014\u201cAs a ' ihareholder I think it would be an «pression of the feeling of all the ihareholders of this hank if we, as shareholders, moved an expression of our regret at the announcement of the retirement of Sir Edward Clouston from the chief executive office of the bank, and an expression of our ippreciatian of the valuable services he has for so many years rendered to '.his bank and its clients.Sir Edward Houston has during many years held a very important and distinguished place in the banking affairs of Can- I ada.Not only have his experience and services been of invaluable as- | sistance to this bank, but by his clear judgment, keen insight and extended knowledge of business affairs, his advice has been of invaluable assistance to the clients of this Bank, .vho have frequently used it in times }f need.\u201cAs a shareholder therefore I beg to move a resolution expressing our appreciation of the services of Sir Edward Clouston and our regret that the circumstances of his health and long service have rendered it necessary in his opinion for him to sever his connection with the bank as its hief executive officer.\u201d (Applause.) This resolution was seconded by Mr.James Skeoch, and unanimously adopted.Sir Edward Clouston\u2014\u201cI must thank the mover and seconder of this resolution, and the Shareholders sin-:erely for all that has been said.I have always tried to do my best in the interests of the bank during my long connection with it, and feel very teen regret that I am now compelled to sever my connection with it as general manager.\u201d The ballot for the election of Directors was then proceeded with, and without much delay the Scrutineers appointed for that purpose reported the following gentlemen duly elected, the old Board being re-elected :\u2014 Messrs.R.B.Angus, A.Baumgar-ten, Sir Edward Clouston, Bart.;

th fear of being found to he sick and of having to undergo some unpleasant treatment, and it is well known in this age that fear is a very largefac tor in the production of disease.To all thinking people anxious for the progress and enlightenment of the age the word Compulsion has an ugly sound.It means reaction, des- TrapperS send us your FURS and we will pay you the Hlghost Prices EEV1110N FRÈRES LIMITED 134-136 Mc&IU.STREET « MOHTBEAU P.Q.We will send free to every trapper who sende us furs, our book \u201cThe Trapper's Loyal Oom-pon Ion\u201d.\tw Shiloh\u2019s Cure QUICKLY STOPS COUQM8, CURES COLDS.heals the throat and lungs.2o cevrs potism and tyranny.It means that the preventative methods of better sanitation and more perfect physical cleanliness are to take second {lace to medical experiment and if the Board of Commissioners really desire to go ahead with educational methods, as they say they do, they had better learn as soon as possible tyat compulsory medical examination of school children is not an educational method at all but a reachtionary one and that as it has been found impossible to drive learning into children by means of the whip and the cane, as was once thought to be the only way, so it will be found equally impossible to drive health into ttem by compulsory drugging and doctoring.Freedom.Coatlcook House\u2014Popular Homrtor Traveller*.A.A.Pomerov.Prop.-f- \"THIS DATE IN HISTORY\u201d DECEMBER 6.1421\u2014Henry VI of England born' Died May 21, 1471.1637.\u2014Sir Edward Andros, colonia.governor of New England, born in London.Died there, Feb.24, 1714.1790.\u2014Philadelphia became the seat of the national government.1839.\u2014The Whig national convention in session at Harrisburg, nominated William Henry Harrison of Ohio for President and John Tyler of Virgi|nl8 for Vice-President.1857.\u2014British troops defeated the Gwalior rebels at Cownnore.1862.\u2014Gen.Banks\u2019 expedition sailed for New Orleans.1865.\u2014United States protested a» gainst the French occuoation of Mexico.1889.\u2014Jefferson Davis, ex President of the Confederate States of America, died.Born June 3, 1808.1905.\u2014The French senate adopted the proposal for the separation of Church and State.A Good Breakfast That Quick When you have POST ¦ L.TOAS'TI ES A ready-cooked breakfast delicacy, and one that is substantial and nourishing, that every grocer sella.Serve with cream or hot milk.\u201c The Memory Lingers\u201d CANADIAN\u2019POSTUM CEREAL CO.LTD.WINDSOR.ONTARIO.CANADA.
