Teach Children to Swim
In view of the many and harrowing
deaths by drowning that are always
among the distressing incidents of the
summer season, it would seem as
though parents would consider it far
more necessary to haye their children
taught to swim, than to spend so much
care and trouble on accomplishments
that are of no earthly value to any of
the latter who gets into the water oyer
his or her head. This little preach, says
the Philadelphia Times, is not meant
in any way to run down the advant-
ages to be derived from the highest
mental training, but what good will
diplomas and honorary degrees be if
in a moment of impulsive recklessness,
or owing to some unforseen accident,
the student learns, alas, that it is sink
or swim, with nine chances out of ten
in favor of the former, if there has
never heretofore been given, along
with the other thought to be necessary
lessons, a single one of the most im-
portant branches of the human educa-
tion?' Boys and girls alike should be
given instruction it, this branch. Par-
ents would feel highly incensed if
some outsider were to remark that
they cared more for the mental health
of their children than for their. physi-
cal welfare. Yet in many cases this is
true, though perhaps unwittingly so
Outside of the fact that a knowit dge
of swimming may sometimes be the
means of saving life, it 1$ a most
healthful and delightful; exercise, even
though never put to any more exact-
ing purpose than to pass away pleas-
antly a few hours at the natatorium or
in the surf. In giving children as
many of the pleasures of life as lie
'within the power of their parents to
grant, lessons in swimming should be
among the first thought of, for the
pastime, unlike many others, serves a
double purpose that may some day
prove its practical usefulness,

Huron 'Medical Association.
This ansoeiation met in the council
chamber of the new town hall, Sea -
forth on the 11th iust, About a score
of medical men and medical students
were present. Dr. Turnbull, of Clinton
president, occupied the chair. Local
men reported cases in practice and in-
teresting discussions were held upon
Important points. The great feature
of the meeting, however, was the pres•
ence of Dr. Mcllonagh, of Toronto, a
specialist on the ear, nose and throat,
who is a teacher of his particular
branches in the Toronto school of med-
icine. The doctor came upon special
invitation of the society and contribu-
ted an excellent paper on the "treat-
ment of diphtheria." The doctor in
commencing his address, referred to
the time, some 19 years ago when he
was a student with Dr. Campbell,hence
he was not an entire stranger in their
midst- His address, for he only spoke
from notes, occupied about an hour,
and was one of the ablest and most
comprehensive we have eyer heard on
that important subject. The doctor
had instruments present with which he
illustrated the mode of performing
some delicate operations on the throat
on which he is the highest authority
in the country. At the coueiusion of
his address an interesting discussion
took place on the subiect of the paper
and questions were asked the doctor on
various points raised by him. The
doctor answered everything s'atisfac
torily to all. It was then moved by
Dr. Campbell, seconded by Dr. Smith,.
that a hearty vote of thanks be tender-
ed to Dr. McDonagh, for his able, in-
teresting and exbaustive address on
the treatment of diphtheria, and that
he be elected as honorary member of
the Huron Medical Association. This
resolution was carried unanimously.
The doctor made a suitable reply,
gracefully accepting the honor con-
ferred upon him, after which he left to
catch the 5 o'clock train. It was de-
cided that the doctor's article should be
published in the medical journals. Af-
ter some other business the meeting
came to an end,

CHRISTIAN
ord.-CIIRISTIAN ENDEAVOR. -Tho Young
People's Society of Christian Endeavor
held its annual consecration service in
the basement of Carmel church Sun-
day evening, July 1. The attendance
was very much smaller than usual,
partly, no doubt, on account of the op-
pressive heat. The meeting was led
by the President, Mr. D. Stewart, and
was of the usual character, the calling
of the roil by the Secretary, Miss Jessie
Moir, and the reading of the responsive
Bible references by the active mem-
bers, interspersed with suitable music,
occupied most of the time. The topic
cards for the weekly prayer meetings
of the Society, for the latter half of this
year, are already in the hands of the
members. At the regular meeting of
the Society, held in the vestry of the
church on the Monday evening prey
ious, 11 was decided to confine the
prayer meetings during the hot wreaths
er strictly to half an hour. The mem
hers should bear this in mind and gov-
ern their tongues accordingly, We have
a member or two who read very long
references, sometimes a whole chapter,
but this should generally be discour-
aged, especially if the chapter lsalong
one. The ideal prayer meeting gives
all the members a chance, and they all
take it. -Mr, L. Harold Will represent
the Society at the great Cleveland Con.
vention.-On Friday morning about one

Pressed Chicken I'xi. t'ie dies.
To TILE EDITOR Ol TIID ADVOCATE..
Sxa:-Tn your issue of the 121h lust.e
we notice a cOmmunieation from Mr,
Thos. Rowe regarding• pressed chicken
and pickles and a person would .in-
fer from its reading that the whole
blame rested on our shoulders from the
sale of some pickles that was Made by
us to R. N. Rowe, Note we took the
trouble to make some inquiry abort
this matter in order to . protect our-
selves and customers from any possible
danger arising from the sale of these
pickles. We find that Mr. Follicle par-
took freely of the pressed chicken and
was taken violently ill and had to se-
cure the services of a Dr. but did not.
partake of the pickles. We may say
that we sold these same kind of pickles
to a number of our customers and they
have come back the second and third.
time for them and we have yet to hear
of any bad effects from their use, As
regards the circulation of the report
that hellebore was used instead of pep-
per it -was common conversation on the
street, and we had nothing to do with
it at all. Therefore we repudiate the
insinuation that we should have circu-
lated this report in order to sell our
pickles, we have no need to do so as out
pickles sell themselves. This is our
version of it.
Yours Truly,
