To Remove "a Tight Ring,

If you happen to get a ring on your
finger that fits so tight you cannot re-
move it a very easy way to get it off
is as follows: Take a piece Of cord or
wrapping thread and push one end Of
1t under the ring. Then, beginning Just
above the ring. wind the cord very
tightly round and round the finger
clear up to the tip Of the finger. Now
take hold of the end Of the cord that
was slipped under the ring and unwind
the cord. AS the string unwinds the
ring will be carried along with It and
removed without any difficulty.
Purely Business.

PEMB1NA COUNTY is looking for a de-
crease in population when the figures Of
the 1905 census are known. There was
been a falling off in the townships with
only a slight increase in the cities and
villages. The 1900 ensus gave a total
population of 1859 and it is expected
the figures will fall below 1900 when
the present count is completed.
