After consideration of a
munication from Whigham
Council regarding the accommoda
tion at the County Home, commit
tee reported that it realized the
shortage of accommodation but
failed to “see the deplorable state
of affairs.” It was felt that during
the war it is impossible to do any
thing to remedy the situation. The
committee also pointed out the
fact that as help has been very
hard to procure, no extra assistance
would be available should the build
ing be enlarged at this time.
High commendation was
ed Mrs. Jacobs by several
particularly members of the
Home Committee. It was
that the home is the second
in Ontario. Besides the
and her assistant, a cook,
maids and an orderly compose the
staff, it was staterTYiy George Fea-
gan, County Home inspector.

A Help to Those Who
Are Past Middle Age
When men and women get past middle age their
energy and activity, in many instances, begin to de
cline, and their general -vitality is on the wane.
Little ailments and sicknesses seem harder to
shake off than formerly, and, here and there, evidences
of a breakdown begin to appear.
Now is the time those wishing to help maintain their health and vigour
should take a course of Milburn’s Health and Nerve PiUs.
They help tone up and invigorate the patient by their tonic action on
the system.
