meetings in a business like manner.
He concluded by wishing the mem

Evening Session
There was quite an audience at the
eyening session of the Council meet
ing about twenty being present.
Joe Wilson requested that the
snow plow get to work earlier in
Pleasant Valley so that the children
would have a 'path to school? This
was not being done, he said. Coun.
Lloyd explained that the most im
portant streets were plowed first but
suggesed the Street committee look*
into the matter.
Ex-Mayor Hanna, Rev. Kenneth
MacLean, Mrs. T. C. King, Mr. and
Mrs. H. C. MhcLean, were a depu
tation requesting that means be tak
en - to. have Miss Lizzie Elliott re
moved from the County Home at
Clinton to Wingham General Hos
pital.
Rev. MacLean stated that Miss El
liott, was a life-long resident here and
an invalid for mdny years. Some cit
izens had taken a special interest in
her. A few weeks ago she had been
taken to the County Home. On visit
ing her he, had found her greatly
changed. While here very clear in
her mind but had changed in .this re
spect at Clinton. It may be that this
change was caused by being away
from her usual surroundings. He did
not complain that she is not well
treated but felt that she would be bet
ter in Wingham. He was sure that if,
she could be brought back here it
would be a great kindness to Miss
Elliott and het many friends would
appreciate it
Mrs. H. C. MacLean said that the
doctor at the Florae said she would
be better in a hospital.
Mrs. T. C. King also expressed the
opinion that the local hospital would
be a 'better place for her to be. Mr.
H. ' C. MacLean agreed with this
statement. Ex-Mayor Hanna said he
told the M-O.H. not to send her to
Clinton. Council not responsible, he
said, as- M.O,H. and former Reeve
sent her to the County Horne. He
said her friehds previously looked af
ter her but I feel now it is’up to the
town. Blyth, he said, had an incur
able case in the Seaforth Hospital
for which the County paid. He asked
the Mayor, Reeve and Council
this matter their attention,
Councillor Wilkinson said he had
visited Miss Elliott in Clinton
she appeared to be well treated there.
He said he did not know-Tier well be
fore.
Uotmcillor Lloyd, chairman of the
Welfare Committee, said Coun, Van
Wyck, Evans, Wilkinson and himself
after hearing complaints had visited
Miss Elliott in the County Home.
She is being well treated, he said,
but was very -discontented. For years
friends supported her, gradually one
»y one they stopped, so Dr, Stewart
on^motion of j said something must be done* It was
i. *isaisSF<!icj Hospital Board as tef
give
and
Hospital did not refuse her admis
sion, he said. A by-law of the Hos
pital states that no admission isvto
be given to incurable patients with
out the consent of the board. No ap-
lication had been received in this
case. He sa*d it cost $8.40 a day per
patient and that all the hospital
would, receive for an indigent patient
was $1.75 plus another small allow
ance. In the County Home he point
ed out that the County paid the bills
and it cost the town nothing,
Coun. Evans was of the opinion
that the Home was the best place for
her to go. He did not think the local
hospital was the place for cases of
this kind. She appeared to be getting
the best of care, he said. No doubt
she would be lonesome for some
time.
Reeve Hetherington explained that
a motion was on the books of the
Hospital Board that if proper appli
cation be made she would not have
been refused. If Council wished he
would take the matter up with the
County to see what could be done.
Mayor Crawford informed the de
putation that Council would consider
the matter and let them know the
Council’s decision.
Later it was moved by Conns.
Sturdy and Evans that the Reeve look
into the matter as to what the coun
ty will do to keep Miss Elliott in the
local hospital, also what is being
done with similar cases in the coun
ty. Carried.

BOILED KETTLE WITH
OLD CRUTCHES
Once Used Them Because pL
Rheumatism
He was not wrong, either —- this
man who concluded that he would
not need his crutches again. Writ
ing of his experiences, he says;—
“For five years* I suffered terribly
from rheumatic pains, and I began
to think my case hopeless. I also had
a bad stomach, and I rarely had a
meal without my food repeating on
me. One day an old friend told nip
to try Kruschen Salts. So I bought’
a bottle and gave it a trial,
“After some time I was able to en
joy a good meal and to walk more
freely. One morning I got up and lit
the fire, "and my mother thought 'I
was crazy, because I sawed my old
prutclies up and boiled the kettle for
coffee with them, That was six years
ago, and I am now back at my old
job as a chef,”—H.A.B.'
Do you realize, what pauses a good
deal of rheumatism? Nothing but
sharp-edged uric acid crystals which
form as the result, of sluggish elim
inating organs. Kruschen Salts can
always be counted upon to clear
those painful crystals from the sys
tem.
School Child.” Writing-in the De
cember issue of the Canadian Nurse,
Dr. Arthur M, G,ee of the Provincial
Mental Hospital, Essondale, says that
personality is derived from five basic
elements—physique, intelligence, em
otion, instinct and habit. The first
four are inherited, the fifth acquired.
