EDITORIAL NOTES
"Let us not be deceived by all this
tom fool talk of early peace," say the
military correspondent of the London
Times. "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

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

entirely wrong place, as Is evident
from the way in which they dash about
and go around and around until fairly
worn out.

"x'21 ha're you understand, sir," said
the bustling little chap, "that I am a

"All right, old matt," said Jiggers.

"Yes, ma'am, 1 can," replied the

"She bit herself with a snake."

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

D. & A. Corsets
Why buy the cheapest Corsets you
can get? 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.
