Boundary Howick and Grey townships.
A very successful Red Cross Tea was

ISINLOSS.
Mr. Duncan MacRae, an old resident
of Kinloss, just north of Lucknow,
passed away on Thursday, Nov. 9th,
following an illne3s which became acute
a few weeks ago. Mr. MacRae was a
resident of Lucknow for about twelve
years, having moved in from his farm
on the Sth con. of Kinloss, ' about 22
years ago. He moved to hip late resi-
dence on the 2nd of Kinloss about ten
years ago. He was born in Scotland 76
years ago, and came to Kinloss in the
early days of settlement. Messrs.
John and Alex. McDiarmid are nephews.
He was a man of excellent character
and highly spoken of by all who knew
him.
OtLROSS.
Mr. and Mrs. John Hughes of Tiver-
ton, received the sad news that their
son, Thomas, died of wounds on the
23rd of October. Thomas Hughes was
born in Culross twenty three years ago.
Later, with his parents, he moved to
Bruce Township. Over a year ago he
gave up his position as mail clerk be-
tween Kincardine and Palmerston, to
enlist, joining the 71st battalion. In
April last he went to England and in
August was drafted for duty in France>
where he has been ever sines with a
trench motor battery.
His brother George was with him,
serving in the same battalion. Corp.
Hughes was a fine type of youug man
houd of whom Culross is justly proud.
A number of relatives and friends of
the deceased live in Teeswater and
vicinity. Deepest sympathy is extended
to his bereaved and sorrowing family.
About 1,200 full-blooded Indians have
enlisted for overseas services, and the
reserves have contributed more than
$6,000 towards various patriotic funds,

When Piers Were Gheap
INyour grandfather's day --ask him about
it --you could buy a dressed hog for three
dollars; a nice big pig. And a live pig would
cost you no more.
Everything in those bygone days was cheap—that is,
the things of common use.
Clothes, boots, milk, bread, beefsteak, eggs, butter,
lumber, farm labor, domestic servants—they all cost a
good deal les., than they do today.
It cost less to/ iye—and less to be born—and less to die
fifty years ago than today.
And it cost much less to publish a country weekly
fifty years ago than it does today—very much less.
Yet you paid—or your grandfather did—just a dollar a
year—the same as you were paying up to July 1st.
But the dollar rate must yield to the pressure of
necessity. We must do now what we ought to have
done years ago—raise the price of The Times to $1.5o.
The tremendously increased costs of paper, ink, sup.
plies, and the more than -doubled cost of living have
made us "furiously to think." And so, on and after
July 1st the price of The Times $1.5o is a year.
Good Readers All
If you were in our place, and knew all we know about the higher
costs of publishing, you would wonder how we didn't make the ad-
vance long ago. We trust you to meet the new rate with a smile.
Not for so cents a year will you say "Stop my paper."
BUT IT IS OUR DUTY TO LET YOU I<NOW NOW
WHAT'S TARING PLACE.

IIARO WORKING WOMEN
Will Find New Strengh ThrOugth
the Use of Dr, Williams'
Pink Pills
It is useless to tell a hard working
woman to take life easily and not to
worry. Every woman at the head of
a home; every girl in offices, shops
and factories is subjected to more or
leas worry. These cannot be avoided.
But it is the duty of every woman and
every girl to save her strength as much
as possible, and to build up her system
to meet unusual demands. Her future
health depends upon it. To guard
against a breakdown in health the blood
must be kept rich, red pure. To keep
the blood in this condition nothing can
equal Dr. Williams Pink Pills, They
strengthen the nerves, restore the
appetite, bring the glow of health to
pallid cheeks, and renewed energy to
listless people. Women cannot always
rest when they should, but they can
keep up their strength and keep away
disease by occasional use of Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills. Mrs, N. E. Tomsett,
Ottawa, Ont., writes:—"For several
years I suffered terribly from nervous
debility and was scarcely able to do a
thing. During that time I consulted
several doctors, and many medicines
without getting any help, and I began
to think that I would never get better.
One day I saw Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
advertised and thought I would try
them. After taking four boxes I was
much better, but I continued using pills
for several months when I was again
in the best of health. When I began
taking the pills I weigher' only 10
pounds. While under4their use with
mrrenewed health rnow w •igh 140,
I recommend Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
to every one whom I know to be ail-
ing "
You can get Dr.Williams' Pink Piils
from any dealer ih medicine, or by mail
at 50 cents a box, or six boxes for $2.50
from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co.,
Brockville, Ont.
WROXETElt.
Mrs. Geo. Harris and Miss Mary
Harris returned from an extended visit
in the West.
After an absence of 31 years, the
greater part of which was spent in the
West, Thos. Sanderson arrived here
last week and is the .guest of his
brothers, D. D. and A. J, Sanderson,
of Howick.
The following shipment was made
by the Red Cross Society: -
18 suits pyjamas, 21 helpless shirts. 66
pillow cases, 89 towels, 3 flannel day
shirts, 1 parcel old cotton, 8 hot water
bottle covers and 36 pairs of socks.
66 pairs of socks were also sent to
Wroxter soldiers prior to their leaving
Camp Borden and $15.00 cash was
sent to the Red Cross Sock Fund.
CLINT S
The 320 gallons of whisky which
Jacob Wuber, of Seaforth, bought last
August, expecting, as be said, to have
sufficient to last him his lifetin-,e, will not
go back to Seaforth unleas Police Mag-
istrate Andrew's decision is reversed by
a higher court.
On Thursday the magistrate gave his
decision; that, after very careful con-
sidering the evidence, he considered a
conviction should be registered and the
liquor eonfiscated. He gave a written
judgment reviewing the case and show-
ing on what points he based his de-
cision, stating that, while the Ontario
temperance Act does not say what
quanity a man may have in his pos-
session, he did not think it permitted an
unlimited or unreasonable amount as
this shipment seemed to be. Weber
stated he would appeal.
MORRIS
Mr. Wm. A. Logan, who recently
sold his farm on the 10th concession of
Morris to Mr. John Fairservice, has
purchased the dwelling owned by the
Misses Little, on King street, and, we
understand, will devote his entire time
to the sale of Chevrolet cars.
A gloom was cast over the town on
Tuesday, Nov. 14th, when the sad news
was passed around that Councillor
Joseph Carter had died at his home
during the night. He was in his usual
health during Monday, and was up town
Monday evening, returning home about
8 o'clock. Shortly after going to bed
at 9 o'clock, he awoke his wife, stating
that he had a severe pain in his head.
She telephoned for his brother, and also
for n doctor, but as Mr. Carter had a
s,.roke, he was passed medical aid, and
died at 9 a. m. In the death of Mr.
Carter, Blyth loses one nf its best
citizens; one who has always had the
interests of the town at heart. For
the past two years he had not been as
active as formerly on account of failing,
health. He was bun in Tuckersmith
Township, in the year 1850, and in 18701
came to Blyth, where he followed con-
tracting and building for a number of 1
years, until he began work on the in-
vention of a boiler cleaner, which re-
sulted successfully. His invention is I
used on a great many of the boilers in 1
Ontario and the United States. While I
a resident of Blyth he had always taken
an interest in municipal affairs, having I
sat in council both as reeve and council-
lor for over thirty years, being a member
of the board at the time of Ilia death. ,
It was while he was reeve that the'
oement sidewalks were put on u e
streets. He supervised the work.
Anything that Mr. Carter looked after
Was sure to be done right. He was ,
bound to see that contracts were lived
up to. Mr. Carter was a member of
St. Andrew's Church, and in politics a
Conservative.
