"Let us understand that we were not so ready for this offensive on the Somme as could have been wished and that the general offensive along the whole line cannot successfully be under taken until alt our armies further north have the same proportion of heavy guns, trench mortars and munitions as the armies on the Somme. Every politician. of course, thinks he knows all about war. Although war is an art more difficult to excel in than any other, yet the politi- can is forever fuming, fretting and try my to run the campaign in spite of the fact that he had his turn during the early part and plainly made a most ap- palling bungle." THE WINGHAM CEMETERY. Wingham, Sept. 4th, 1916. To the Editor of the Times; Dear Sir,—I noticed in the report of the Town Council proceedings a few weeks ago that some of the members of the Council agree with the majority of the plot owners concerning the management of the cemetery. I sincerely hope those who have a say in the matter will make every effort to make the much needed change at the proper time. By all means have the money received from the cemetery managed by a separate body from other town monies. See that every dollar is spent where it belongs and 13 so much needed. At the present time I believe the majority of plot owners have no say in the matter—only to pay. The Council pays a man a small sum to attend to the walks as he pleases. He then charges what he thinks fit for cutting the grass on plots, sodding and building foundations, etc. He also pleases himself as to the way he doer that work. Now, I think business con- ducted in that way is a great injustice to those interested, This year a man was engaged at a small cost, to cut the grass, which im- proved the appearance a little. It is now September and if the Council thinks the small outlay for this year will be satisfactory to those interested, they are out on their reckoning. Why not get d supply of water and other necessary improvements. You have received the necessary money. Spend it where it belongs and be honest. As we have no other way of ex- pressing our views, only through the press, I trust, Mr. Editor, you will favor me by inserting this in your paper, and oblige, ONE Wiso TRIES TO BE HONEST.

DO' SOME DEEP THINKING, Help Your Mins} by Going into a "Brown Study" One In Awhile, "If the 'brown study' were snore often cultivated many people would be happier and more clear thinking would be done," says the London Lancet, "It Is in such a state that truths dawn mid- denly and clearly upon the unelouded intelligence. It is in such a rote that mighty actions are conceived, poems Writ at a stroke and mankind eulight- ened through the enlightenment of the lndividuai, "In this state of mind there is such a concentration of mental energy that the body is ignored. The mind, on the ether hand, is so working upon the subject which concerns It, is so intent upon its own affairs, that the external world is obliterated, and any bodily discomfort that may have been pre -ex- *ting is now negligible and unnoticed," The Lancet says the relationship be- tween mental activity and the bodily state is not realized with sufficient fre- quency or with sufficient thoroughness by the European of today. "The aver- age man is too engrossed with his bod- ily pabulum, and in caring for the needs of the body be neglects the needs of the mind." Wisdom Teeth. The wisdom teeth are the two Iast molar teeth to grow. They come one on each side of the jaw and arrive somewhere between the ages of twenty and twenty-five years. The name is given them because it is supposd that when a person has developed physical- ly' and mentally to the point where he has secured these last two teeth he has also arrived at the age of discretion. It does not necessarily mean that one who has cut his wisdom teeth is 'wise, but that, having lived long enough to grow these, which complete the full set of teeth, the person has passed suf- ficient actual years that if he has done what he should to fit himself for life be should have come by that time at the age of discretion or wisdom. As a matter of fact, these teeth grow at about the same time in people whether they are wise or not. Knights Templars. During the latter half of the eleventh Century pilgrims to Jerusalem began to be persecuted by the Turks or Sara- cens then in possession of the Holy Land. Nine noble knights formed a brotherhood with the object of protect- ing the pilgrims. The cause spread rapidly over Europe, and the knights grew to legions in number. Vews of chastity, obedience and poverty were taken, and the order, from merely pro- tecting the pilgrims, took upon itself the task of recovering the Holy Land from the grip of the infidels. About 1120 they were given a place in the in - closure of the temple on Mount Mo- riah, and hence the name Templars, or Knights of the Temple of Solomon. Persian Shawls. The "shat" of Kerman—whence our word "shawl"—is made of goats' hair. Like the carpets, the shawl patterns are learned by heart, and the work is even finer. Children also do this work. The finest product is a fir cone pat- tern, a rich color effect, made especial- ly for the governor of the province, who wears it as a robe of honor on the Persian New Year's day. Appropriate Styles. "That elocutionist believes in dress- ing the part for any recitation." "How do you mean?" "Why, when she read the story about the. sailors deserted on the lonely island she wore a costume of maroon, and at her lecture on Celtic wit her dress was all trimmed up with Irish point."—Ex- change. Well Supplied. An fyrveterate wit and punster asked the captain of a craft loaded with boards how he managed to get 'dinner on the passage. "Why," replied the skipper, "we always cook aboard." "Cook a board, do you?" rejoined the wag. "Then I see you have been well provided with provisions this trip, at all events."—London Tit -Sita Goldfish. It may not be generally ilaiown that there is cruelty in the keeping of geld fish. Half of such captives die fro: sheer want of rest. Fish have eyes s formed that they carnet endure the light. In aglass vessel they are in an entirely wrong place, as Is evident from the way in which they dash about and go around and around until fairly worn out. In the Making. "x'21 ha're you understand, sir," said the bustling little chap, "that I am a self made man." "All right, old matt," said Jiggers. "Now, run along home and finish up the job, Siad then I'll talk to yau.". • Her peat. "Now, boys," said the teacher of the jtmfier Class in history, "can any of you tell me how Cleopatra died?"

September 7, 1916 Chief Recruiting Officer, Geo. D. MacKay, of Walkerton, who is credited with much of the success in connection with the recruiting of the Bruce Battalion, has aeeepted the posi- tion of chief recruiting officer for Mili- tary District No. 1, It appears that this district is still short about 7000 men to make up its quota of the ha 1 million promised by the Dominion to the Imperial Army. According to pope. lation this division should produce 36,500 men, and up to the present only about 23,300 have enlisted. District No 1 consists of the following 11 counties: Bruce, Huron, Lambton, Essex, Kent, Elgin, Middlesex, Ox- ford, Perth, Waterloo and Wellington. Mr. McKay's headquarters will be at London. Some women seem to be ashamed to eat real food in a public dinner place. A prude is sometimes a woman who noses around for something to get shocked at. And lots of people seem to go to church for the purpose of picking flaws in sermons. Greece will entirely meet the allied demands, and it is again reported will give them active support.

Why not get hold of some- thing genuinely good in quality and satisfaction and stick to it. Economy in Corsets doesn't mean paying out the least money. It means getting the most in style, comfort and wear for the money you do pay out. We have customers who insist on D. & A. Corsets at $2.50 and $3.00 in prefer- ence to less expensive lines. They last longer as a matter of course and are correspondingly finer in work- manship and finish, Try the plan of paying a little more and getting a little better. Corsets are like shoes. The best are the cheapest in the end. J. A. MILLS Successor to T. A. Mills Pi ONii 89. WINGHAM, ONT
