TIMELY ADVICE.. -Every time you
sneeze while you ,have the grippe., or
a colt: several million Cold or grippe
microbes are sunt flying out into the
air which other people must breathe.
Remember, then, to "cover up" the
cough and sneezes, thus preventing
the spread of discomfort, disease, and
death, eath, for ippe and colds
ageat this season a deadly plague,
Some medical authorities tell us that
the reason why so many sudden dea-
ths occur of late years from heart
failure is because cif the prevalence
of la grippe. A weakened heart and
shattered nervous system are the leg-
acy it leaves after being entertained
in these bodies of ours. North Am-
erica is just now inn the throes of an
epidemicof influenza, call it by what
other name you will. Keep the feet
dry and bowels open. avoid' overheat-
edrooms., observe ;all rules of health;
especially moderate diet And absolute
abstinence: from every kind of alco-
holic drink. Avoid all worry, as a
case of "nerves" is very likely to in-
vite it. Then, keep your sleeping -
room well aired, your bead cool, feet
warm and dry, and go about your reg -
tiler duties as cheerfully as you cap.

The best way to extend charity to
persons who are in need is to sive
these work. Don't give any able-bod-
ied ?man a cent or a mouthful 'tntess
he ,corks far at. By this a. man • e -
tains his self respect, and the profes-
sion of the tramp is nkat encouraged.
If a man needs help and is able to
work and you are tempted to give
hien something, don't do it. But in-
stead give him work. Odd lobs 'an
always be found, and set him at these.
We 'do advise that it be done in a

The War Summary
Fieree fighting has been taking place
all week on the western front, Ger-
many mainly being on the offensive.
Ili one day the Germans tried to
break through at no less than five
points, but were entirely unsuccessful.
The loss of life on both sides must
have been very great.
The Grand 'Duke of Russia. is still
successful against the Turks in Ar-
menia and the Turks are anxious to
withdraw from the European theatre
to try to stop the Russians around the
other side of the Black. Sea.
Italy Is defending a small part of
Albania and signs are not wanting to
indicate that the Allies wi11 take the
offensive around Salonika, Germany
is apparently having some trouble with
her allies Bulgaria axed turkey at
this ,point,
Germany, France and Great t ritain
have each lost a cruiser during •he
week, The .British vessel was the
Arethusa which bas had a noble re-
cord.
Interest still centres in the prob-
ability that Roumania will soon join
the Allies. Germany is making a
strong bid, however, and nothing is
certain.
Germany has given notice that after
\larch lst they will sink all merchant
ships that carry a guni. The Allies
will persist in, carrying the gun, be-
cause they cannot trust the Germans.

Dealt of lir, George Kerslake. --The
startlingly sudden death of Mr. Geo.
Kerslake, one of Usborne's most es-
teemed and respected resielents, came

\fondaj; morning he arose in his usual
health but tibout eight o'clock was
suddenly stricken with a stroke of
paralysis from which he never rallied
and at five o'clock the same evening
passed away, He was a man, however,
who knew .he necessity of being pre-
pared and his many friends and rela-
tives have the extreme satisfaction of
realizing that all was well with hirci
He was a man of careful habits, Indus-
trious and obliging, and always did
what he deemed to be his duty. He
was highly respected by all who knew
him and loved by all his friends for
his goodness of heart and kindly
Christian, character. He was a
native of Usborne, being born in that
township on the 13th day of May,
1849 consequently he was aged 66
years, 9 months and 1 day, and his
whole lite has been spelit in that town
ship. Besides his wife, whose maiden
name was Mary Cann, daughter of the
late Robert Cann, he issurvived by
two sons Wellington and Walter, and
one daughter, Mrs. Fred. Stewart, all
of Usborne. He also leaves three bro-
thers and one sister -John of Exeter,

Recruiting Meting.
.A full house greeted the speakers
at the recruting meeting in the Opera
House an Tuesday evening, when ad-
dresses in. aid of recruiting the 161st
.Battalion, were delivered by the chair-
man of the evening, Major Shaw at
Clinton, Dr. James L, Hughes of Tor-
onto, brother of Sir Sam Hughes; the
minister of militia, Nurse Neelans of
Seaforth who has returned from the
front. and Corp. Wyatt, a returned
s oldier.
The addresses were all with aview
to recruiting and were of a nature
that should bring forth results.
Major Shaw reviewed the situation
as it existed in Huron, showing that
Exeter district was near the bottom
of the list in, numbers of recruits,and
some speeding up is required here.
Dr. Hughes discussed the war from
many viewpoints, showing the justice
of the Empire's cause, the unity of
the Empire, the great work already
done, the work to be done, the meed
pv woe , crue Les prat-
tiised by the Hun, and showed the
need of the smothers and wives doing
everything to encourage the alien to
go to fight to protect the • woman-
hood of the=world,
Carp. Wyatt spoke of the doings of
the first contingent from. Canada from
the tiauie they mobilized until they
had passed through three terrible bat-
tles and held the line for three days
against ten times their number of the
enemy He told of instances he had
seen of the 'wanton cruelty, of the foe
and the needless destruction of the
property and hon -combatants.
