Hughes for the heat? * It ie strange that the Liberal. Advis-, ory Council, which recently met at Ottawa, neglected to pass a resolution on the queetion of recruiting in Quebec.. We met a man the other day Who said be wasn't hot, But as you may well conclude lie was more than half shot. *** The Ottawa Free Press calls for a reorganization of the Qanadiatn Lib. eral Monthly. No wonder some Liber• ale are becoming disgusted with that notoriously vicious partizan publica- tion. * Will South Toronto vote against Hearst because of Die temperance qua. lities at the election on August 21st? The "temperance Liberate" and the hotelmen are, as in North Perth, fight- ing a bitter campaign hand in hand. **« Premier Hearst on being questioned by a Liberal leader the other day as to whether there would be any delay in putting the temperance act into force, replied: "The Act is upon the statute books; the Government has no power to postpone it or modify it in any way." «* West Wawanosh July 20, 1916. I41;itniclpat Council of West Wawanoah ;Flet on above date for thetransaction of general bu•iness, also to attend Court of Appeal au directed by His Honour judge Dickson of the County Court of the Coun- ty of Huron.. Members of Council all present, Reeve Murray presiding. Reeve Murray res perked that he had consulted Tp. Solict- ors regarding the appeal of Oce. S. Wile son against the findings of the Court of Revision as handed out on June 5, also his appeal against Reeve Murray and Councilor Johnston asking His Honour to disqualify them for acting contrary to Statutes in the matter of his appeal to the Court of Revision, Solictors opinion was that the contention set forth by appellant could not be maintained, intimating how- ever that a member of the firm would at- tend Court on the receipt of Telephone Call, Reeve Murray asked for the opinion of the Board in this matter, which was that the services of the solicitor be dis- pensed with. Minutes of last meeting read and on motien by Naylor and Borden that min- utes as read (excepting clause 20 which should lay over for further consideration) be adopted, --Carried. Premier Walter Scott and Hon. J. A. Calder of Saskatchewan, were in attendance at the Liberal "uplift" conference recently held in Ottawa. Judging by the graft revelations in the Western Provinces they are worthy apostles of the new Liberal policy. Crops in competition are severely scored if the judge finds noxious weeds growing and producing seeds. Many good fields of grain have lost the prize because of negleot on the part of the owner to cut the weeds. While it is difficult to keep certain weeds under control there should be, at least, an effort made to do so. Weeds have no rightful place in any crop. * * * Heroism is not Dead Financial statement read by Treasurer showing balance on hand of $85.82 was filed on motion by Johnston and Naylor. Council adjourned to attend Court of Ap- peal, His Honor Judge Di«kaon attending.

Many a brave man—yes, and not a few women, too—displayed all the eterling qualities of our race during that awful visitation of the fire fiend in Northern Ontario. Times of stress call for—and never fail to ob- tain—a response from the manhood that makes it clear the divine spark still lives. Belmore Miss Minnie Doubledee is visiting friends in W ingbam.

Kansas City, Mo„ August 3—A new campaign against Infantile paralysis wtt9 annouced at the twentieth annual convention of the. American Osteo- pathic Association, the seeaions of which continue through the entire week in this city.. The recent epidem io•startled the public when the medical world admitted its absolute inability to cure the disease with medioine, and the newspaper reports produced some. what of a panic in some sections of the country due to the lose of confidence in medical help. But now the osteo- paths come forward and claire at this convention that as this fatal malady is distinctly a disease of the spinal cord, it is one which falls peculiarly in their field, as the spine is their greatest specialty, While it is recognized that osteo. paths have boon performing miracles in restoring paralyzed lege and arms, the general public had not grasped the fact that the osteopothic philosophy applies as well to the scute disease during epidemics as to the paralysis which follows after. As there ie no hotel in Kansas City large enough to house the con. venison, the sesaione are being held in Convention Hall. Nearly three thou- sand delegates are present. Dr. 0. J. Snyder of Philadelphia, president of the Pennsylvania State Board of Os. teopathio Examiners. is the president of the association and presides at the convention. D. R, H. Williams of Kansas Uity, is chairman of the gener- al araangement committee. Dr. Frank Farmer, of Chicago, is in charge of the program. The convention rose in indignant protest agitinet the action of the War Department •in refusing professional recognition to osteopathic physicians in preparedness work, A number of osteopathic physicians who are com- petent surgeons and have qualified in Red Groes work, have been turned down by the War Department., In Canada, the osteopaths have offered their services to the Government for the examination and treatment to troops destined for Europe, but have been refused because they are osteo- paths. The convention waxed wroth at this and determined upon drastic action.
