A REAL BEAUTIFIER
When produced under sanitary
conditions milk will, says the Bank-
er" -Farmer Educator, do more to
build up the human body and pro-
duce that "school girl complexion"
than all the patent medicines that
have been produced since the begin-
ning of time. If milk could be dis-
guised, handled in bottles of various
sizes and shapes, placed on shelves
of our drug stores, and advertised
on the basis of what it will really do
the public would flock to these
stores to purchase this "wonder of
wonders."
AMERICAN FOUL BROOD.
Owing to the rather serious )ut-
break of American Foul Brood in the
bees of this County, and particularly
that section lying between Goderich
Auburn and Clinton, we think it ad-
visable that the public should know
more of 'its serious nature.
This disease if unmolested will soon
wipe out whole apiaries and spread
rapidly from beeyard to beeyard. The
disease spreads chiefly by owners net
knowing the disease and the welling of
colonies from yard to yard, without
being inspected.,
All beekeepers should acquaint them-'
selves with the Bee Disease Act of
1920.
It is no disgrace to get Foul Brood
in your yard, but it is a disgrace to
keen it there,
Huron County bees produce honey
enough each year to pay for the main-
lbenaisce and repairs of our County
Highways. Let us Inot lose this rev-
enue.
When you buy or sell bees; when
you know of the presence of disease;
when you strongly suspect diseasei

lariat. O.A.G., Guelph, or your local

WITH THE CANADIAN PRESS
PARTY
Arrival at Antwerp
The Canadian Press Party arrived
at Antwerp about 5 a.m. on June 21,
after a bit of troublesome work on
the part of seaman and tugs getting
up the Schelde, and working the ves-
sel in to the harbor. We were up
early (about 4 a.m.) to see the vessel
come into port.
A -heavy fog descended and envel-
oped the ship; the anchor was drop-
ped and the outgoing tide carried the
large vessel completely around until
it was facing in the opposite direc-
tion. The fog lasted only a short
time and the vessel with the aid of
two tugs was soon righted.
Antwerp, the third largest port in
the world, is situated some 54 miles
inland from the North sea, and much
of the port and dock land, is true to
the general idea of Belgium coast
land, being made waterways by
means of dykes, such as we read of
in the early school books. The land
beyond the dykes, all along the can-
als, is eight, ten or twelve feet lower
than the waterways, and looked to be
good farming and gardening country.
herds of Holstein cattle were noticed
all along the way.
After an early breakfast on board
with C. P. R. and Antwerp officials
in attendance, our baggage was ex-
amined in a rather perfunctory sort
of way -a -in fact they were passed al-
most without examination — owing
co the facts undoubtedly that custom
authorities are well aware that no
press party would have sufficient
funds to attempt to pass anything
wrongfully through the customs, and
also because the authorities had been
notified that we were under the pro-
tection and wing of the Belgium Gov-
ernment during our stay in their
country.
Having landed we walked a short
distance to the . Town Hall, where
the burgomaster received us in state
and words of welcome were express-
ed. Two city tugs then conveyed' the
party all through the docks and har-
bor, where thousands of ships were
being loaded and unloaded. The ex-
tent of the harbor was surely a revel
ation to us—and even at that, vast
improvements are being made, par.
Ocularly a wider opening from the
sea, which when completed, will
greatly improve this now wonderful
port, which has to such a large ex-
tent been made by dykes.
Returning to the landing place we.
were then taken to the beautiful
Antwerp cathedral, which, perhaps
because it was the first for as to see,
appeared the more wonderf in ex-
tent and beauty of architecture, The
cathedral is 35 it. long, of. Gothic
architecture, has seven aisles. The

and during a drive around the res-
idential and business streets expres-
sed his pleasure, and astonishment
at the great improvement in many
ways, that have taken place during
his absence, generously stating that
his chosen state has LL nothing over

Ontario.
BOWLING TOURNEY
The :,annual rink bowling tourney
of the Exeter club was held on Wed-
nesday. Apart from the early morn-
ing rains that made the ground sog-
gy for the first games, the weather
was fine and the 28 entries were on
hand for play. Only one rink suc-
ceeded in winning all the four qual-
ifying games—Dr. McGill, of Mit-
chell. The next high were C. A.
McDonell, of Hensall, 3 plus 15;
R. Fairful, of London Rowing Club
3 plus 13; Wm. Westcott, of Lon-
don Elmwoods, 3 plus 13. In the
play off for the Free Press trophy
and first and second prizes McGill
defeated McDonell. For third arid.
fourth Fairful won from Westcott
by the toss of a coin.
DRINIINGi IN PARIS
The newspaper editors who were
touring Europe say that a feature
of Paris which is characteristic is
the abnormal consumption of wine
and beer. These beverages are con-
sumed in large quantities, and are
everywhere in evidence—in the ho-
tels, in the homes, on the streets.
Everywhere beer and wine have the
right of way. The drinking places on
the streets, outside the shops, are
seen everywhere; on the fashionable
boulevards and on the back streets
of the Latin quarter. There is no
effort to conceal the universal cus-
tom of drinking. Fathers and moth-
ers and children, young Hien and
maidens, in fact the population gen-
erally, may be seen seated around
tables on the sidewalks, quaffing
their beer and wine. It is said the
alcoholic content of the . liquors is
very small and that the people can
drink them without seriously feel-
ing the effects. All that is said of
the drinking customs of Paris may
be said with equal force of Antwerp,
Brussels, Lille, Liege, Arras and
other Belgian and french cities that
we visited.
