Frequent examination of vegetables kept in the cellar is of the most im- portance during this month of typhoid fever and l)Owel troubles. All vegetables and fruit should l)e looked after dally, and if there is a suspicion of decay, should be removed at once. Shelves should l)e wiped off, and every box or receptacle for vege- tables should be kept scrupulously clean Tomatoes soften quii^kly, and if one has a quantity of them on hand, will require much care to keep them from sjioiling. Baskets of iieachea should be picked over each day and decayed ones removed. This vigilance is jjarticularly impor- tant in country districts, and farm- houses, where the vegetables, in large quantities are storiyl in the cellar un- der the living rooms. In cities unl larger towns, where the markets are close at band, they are purcha'ie:! usu- ally in small quantities, sufficient on- ly for a few days' supply. PIES.

Mr. Thos. Minshull, of this town, an employee in Frost & Wood's Agricultural Works. The News heard of this remarkable case, and meeting Mr. Minshull asked him it the story was correct. He replied i "All I know '\a that my sister had been given up as incurable by two physi- cians. She is now well enough to do any kind of housework and can go and come as she p!ea.ses, and this change has, it is my honest conviction, been brought about by the use of Dr, Wil- liams' Pink Pills. Mr. Minshull than related the following story to the News:â€" "My sister is twenty yearsof age. She came to Canada from Eng- land about ten years ago. and resided with a Baptist minister. Rev. Mr. Cody, at Sorel, Que. In April, of 1896, she took ill and gradually grew worse. She was under a local physician's care for over five months. The doctor said that she was suffering from a compli- cutiou of nervous di.seases, an 1 that he could do little for her. The minister with whom she lived then wrote me of my sister's state of health, and I bad ner come to Smlth'd F.alls, in the hope that a change and rest would do her good. When she arrived here she was in a very weak state and a local physii-ian was tailed in to sea her. He Oittended her for some time, but with poor results, and finally a-v knowledged that the ca-se was one which he could do very little for. My sister had by this time become a pit- iable object; the slightest nsise would disturb her luid thi "lightest certioo almost make her insane. It required someone to lie with her at all timeit. and olien after a lii . 1' e^tr^me ner- \V)Uines.s she would I ecomc uuion- scious ajtd remain in that state for h(ours. When 1 ^.ent home I had to take my I pots off at thie door-stea so as not to disturb her. When the doctor toid me i _â-  ' i .a -o noi ling for her. I cpnsalted- with my wife, who had great faith in l.r. W illiain.'i' Pink Pills, iis she knew of several cases where they had workeil wiinleriul cures, ajid I concluded it would do no barm to try theui anyway, and men- tioned the fa<^t t.i the doctor. The doc- tor did n-Jt o[>po-ie their use. but said he thought they might do her good, as they were certa nly a gool medi- cine, in Septem' er of lu^t joar she T.egiun to use the Pills, and before two Ixixes had l)een u*'tl she l«gani to show signs ot improvement. She hoe continued their use since, and is ti>- (lay a living testimony of the curative |K)wer of Ur. Williams' Pink Pills." Mr. Min-<hull has no hesitation in sounding the praises ot a remedy that has worked such a change in the h-allh i>f hLs sister iui I -hi'erfully gave the "News" the aJ-ove (Articnlars, and when asked to do so mo.-it willingly signed the following deilaration: â€" Smith's Falls, Sept. lltJi, 1897. I hereby make dw'aration that the statements i.n alove as to thei condition of my sister, and the teueifit she re- ceived from the use of Dr. WilUaJms' Pink Pills are uksolutely correct. Thos.

The l.ond'in Local Government jour- nal makes an interesting comparison Ivlween Greater New York and the Engll.sh inetro()oUs. It a.s.serls that Greater London Ls double the size of New York, has double the population, more than twice the number of police, and only half as many firemen. Lon- don lias four times as many scholars in her Public .schools ,but only io i>er cent, more ti>a;dit'is. She has m>re public libraries, but not .so many in proportii'U to her population. She has halt as many more hospitals as New York and 9 more cemeteries. In New Y'ork there la a chuivh or chaiiel for every 3.000 persons, and in London one in t.lKiO. The London debt is 35 iier cent, lighter for each taxi>ayer. In New Y'ork organized charity reli-'ves one family in every 2lrfl, but in London one family in 4.1 is maintained by the ratepayers.
