WINGHAM GENERAL HOSPITAL.
Reports of the Wingham General
Hospital submitted at the annual meet-
ing of the shareholders held on Wednes-
day night of last week, with the
President, Mr. Richard Clegg, presiding,
show the institution to be in a satis-
factory condition. The number of
patients treated during the past year
was smaller than the previous year and
the revenue was not so large, but the
year was a very safisfactory one. Ow-
ing to the financial conditions the
Directors did not deem it wise to com-
mence work on the proposed addition
to the hospital building. The sum of
$1554.10 is on hand to be used in build-
ing operations and more donations will
be forthcoming as soon as the work is
commenked.
Following is the Treasurer's statement
from October 1st, 1913, to September
30th, 1914.

The report of the Directors was sub-
mitted by the President, Mr. Richard
Clegg, as follows:__:
Wingham, Ont., October 28th, 1914.
To the Subscribers and Members of the
Wingham General Hospital.
In presenting our report for the year
ending Oct. lst, 1914, we are pleased
to be able to say that the hospital has
had another successful year and has
been able to close the accounts with a
small balance on band. This, however,
was only accomplished by the careful
handling of the funds available for the
maintenance of the institution.
Owing to the circumstances govern-
ing the financial conditions of our
country the Directors did not think it
advisable to proceed with any of the
proposed additions to the building, how-
ever, during the coming year it is hoped
that it will be possible to go on with at
least part of the improvements, which
are considered absolutely necessary.
During the past year several of the
private wards were painted, that is,
walls, ceilings, floors, etc., also the
verandahs on the front of the building.
It is proposed to finish painting the in-
side of the building during the coming
winter.
We have to thank the County of
Huron for their grant of $271.72, and
the Town of Wingham for the annual
grant of $200.00. The town also grant-
ed $.300 00 towards onr building fund,
to be paid when building operations are
started. Our thanks are also due the
Ladies Auxiliary, to whom we are
gr-a•ly irdouted for their untiring

efforts in keeping up the supplies of
the institution; such as linens, bedding,
etc. With the co-operation of the
Superintendent, Miss Mathews, the
ladies are taking the entire charge of
this part of the work and financing for
the same, which is a great help to the
success of the hospital.
While we are grateful to the County
of Huron for the annual grant, it ap-
pears to us as Directors oie, an institution,
which is largely in the interests of the
general public, and in no way self-sustaiaing, that some special effort should
be made to bear on the County Council
whereby they would realize that the
hcspitals in the County of Huron are
almost indispensible, and that a more
liberal support be given. Other counties
give generously to the support of ,
hospitals and the wealthy County of
Huron should not be behind in this
charitable work.
During the past year the Hospital
Graduating Exercises were held in the
Town Hall and were largely attended
by the citizens of the town and sur-
rounding country, showing that the
community in general is greatly inter-
ested in the workings of the hospital.
Those graduating were: Miss Stanley,
Miss Adams and Miss Moffatt. They
were presented with their diplomas and
medals, after which a program was
rendered, consisting of addresses by
the Honorary President, Mr. A, H.
Musgrove. M. L. A., and the clergy-
men of the town, also vocal and instru-
mental selections.
To all those who have assisted us
during the. year we again wish to ex-
press our thanks for their support and
continued interests in the well-being of
the Hospital.
R. CLEGG,
Chairman, Board of Directors,
Directors for the ensuing year were
as Allows: Richard Clegg, J. A. Mc-
Lean, R. Vanstone, Dr. A. J. Irwin,
Dr. R. C. Redmond, Dr. J. P. Kennedy,
T. C. King, C. P. Smith, and H. B.
Elliott. Messrs, A. H. Musgrove and
J. Walton McKibbon were elected as
auditors. The Directors will meet on
Friday evening for organization and
the election of officers,
EDITORIAL NOTES
The most important market for Can-
ada's products are, and have long been,
in Great Britain and the United States.
In 1912 we exported to the United King-
dom commodities valued at 3151,853,-
000. In 1913 our exports to Great
Britain totalled $199,982,000; in 1914,
$222,323,000. In 1912 we exported goods
to the United States valued at $120,525,
000; in 1913 their value rose to $167,110,-
04; in 1914, to $200,459,000. It will
thus be seen that our exports to these
two countries, which had stood at $272,-
000,000 in 1912, had risen to almost U32,-
000,000 during the year ended March
31, 1914. - Sydney Post.
The Dominion Government is nego-
tiating with St. Thomas citizens for 500
acres of land to cutup into ten -acre plots
on which to place Belgian Refugees.
There will he no salary increases for
civil servants who are employes of the
Ontario government for the next year at
least. This statement was made by a
provincial financial official. For many
years the salary increases have figured
largely in the supplementary estimates.
Out of estimates of over $1,500,000 for
this present year, the larger portion was
for salary increases which have been re-
garded as a right on account of their
regularity. It has been the practice to
advance civil servants in all branches
from $25 to $500 a year, according to the
position, but that is now at an end.

MOODY REBELLED.
Moving a Vote of Thanks Was Not In
His Line That Night.
Dwight L. Moedy during his first
visit to England attended a meeting at
which the Earl of Shaftesbury was
I chairman. The duty of proposing a
vote a thanks was assigned to him
and the announcement made:
"Our American cousin, the Rev. Mr.
Moody of Chicago, will now move a
vote of thanks to the noble earl who
has presided on this occasion."
The whole thing was quite out of
Mr. Moody's line. 'With an utter dis-
regard of conventionality he burst upon
the audience with the bold announce-
ment: ,
"The speaker has made two mis-
takes. To begin with, I'm not the Rev.
Mr, Moody at all. I'm plain Dwight
L. Moody, a Sunday school worker.
And then I'm not your American
cousin. By the grace of God I'm Your
brother, interested with you in our Fa-
ther's work for his children.
"And now about this vote of thanks
to the 'noble earl for being our chair-
man this evening.' 1 don't see why
we should thank him any more than
he should thank as. When at one time
they offered to thank our Mr. Lincoln
for presiding over a meeting in Illinois
Ile stopped it. Ile said he'd tried to do
his duty and they'd tried to do theirs.
He thought it was about an even thing
all eround."
That ripening fairly took the breath
away from Mr. Moody's hearers. Such
ii talk could not be gauged by any
known standard. Mr. Moody carried
his English audiences with him from
that beginning to his latest labors.
OLD WORLD BARBERS.
Their Prices Are Low and Methods In
Some cases Are Crude.
The barber shops of the United
States and Canada are the finest in
the world and charge the highest
prices. Comparatively few cities of
Europe use American chairs, and many
of these run their barber shops in con-
nection with men's furnishing stores.
In most European cities a hair cut
and a shampoo cost 6 cents, and in
parts of London a shave costs 4 cents.
In seine Italian cities 1 cent is charged
for a share and 2 cents for a hair cut,
and in Turkey barbers take their en-
tire pay in tips.
Many German barbers make wigs
and switches while waiting for cus-
tomers. and many French barbers do
ladies' hairdressing. Austrian barbers,
are compelled to serve apprenticeships
of four years on pay beginning at 41
cents a week and ending at $1.02 a
week berore they can awn their shops.
Syrian barbers seat their customers
In straight backed chairs before tiny
wall mirrors and tlx queer shaped pans
'about their throats. Then they rub on
with their fingers lather made from
cheap soap
In India your barber calls at your
house and shares you every morning
for 32 a mouth.
In China the barbers carry stools,
small tubs. razors and scissors about
the streets, stopping on the sidewalks
to perform their work-, Just as scissors
grinders do in America. — New York

Some British Sinecures.
Gladstone was born nt a time when
sinecures such as those held by Horace
Walpole still abounded, and to the end
of his life he took a lenient view of the
persons who profited by them. A.. G.
C. Liddell records in his diary on
March 12, 1892: "Dined with the Cob -
hams. Mr. Gladstone there. * * •
Some one alluded to the diminution of
sinecures. Mr. Gladstone said that
there was nothing dishonorable in ac-
cepting a sinecure if it was recognized
by the society in which it existed and
not considered unusual or unworthy.
One of the last sinecures, where there
was absolutely nothing to do, which
was not the case with all sinecures,
was the office of chief justice in eyre,
north of the Trent. It was held by
Tom Dtincombe and was Svorth i12,000
per annurn."—London Spectator.
Save the Good Heifers.
One of the greatest mistakes We
have restde in the past years is not
raising our good trade heifer calves.
Now the demand for good cows is
greater than the stipply. When Well
ared grade two-year-old heifers sell for
$75 to $100 it would seem we tould
market some of our surplus feed to
good advantage through this channel,
!nstead of sending so many thousand
iollars to other states each year and
buying something they want to get
id of.—.1. P. Mansion, 1111noia.

MOODY REBELLED.
Moving a Vote of Thanks Was Not In
His Line That Night.
Dwight L. Moedy during his first
visit to England attended a meeting at
which the Earl of Shaftesbury was
I chairman. The duty of proposing a
vote a thanks was assigned to him
and the announcement made:
"Our American cousin, the Rev. Mr.
Moody of Chicago, will now move a
vote of thanks to the noble earl who
has presided on this occasion."
The whole thing was quite out of
Mr. Moody's line. 'With an utter dis-
regard of conventionality he burst upon
the audience with the bold announce-
ment: ,
"The speaker has made two mis-
takes. To begin with, I'm not the Rev.
Mr, Moody at all. I'm plain Dwight
L. Moody, a Sunday school worker.
And then I'm not your American
cousin. By the grace of God I'm Your
brother, interested with you in our Fa-
ther's work for his children.
"And now about this vote of thanks
to the 'noble earl for being our chair-
man this evening.' 1 don't see why
we should thank him any more than
he should thank as. When at one time
they offered to thank our Mr. Lincoln
for presiding over a meeting in Illinois
Ile stopped it. Ile said he'd tried to do
his duty and they'd tried to do theirs.
He thought it was about an even thing
all eround."
That ripening fairly took the breath
away from Mr. Moody's hearers. Such
ii talk could not be gauged by any
known standard. Mr. Moody carried
his English audiences with him from
that beginning to his latest labors.
OLD WORLD BARBERS.
Their Prices Are Low and Methods In
Some cases Are Crude.
The barber shops of the United
States and Canada are the finest in
the world and charge the highest
prices. Comparatively few cities of
Europe use American chairs, and many
of these run their barber shops in con-
nection with men's furnishing stores.
In most European cities a hair cut
and a shampoo cost 6 cents, and in
parts of London a shave costs 4 cents.
In seine Italian cities 1 cent is charged
for a share and 2 cents for a hair cut,
and in Turkey barbers take their en-
tire pay in tips.
Many German barbers make wigs
and switches while waiting for cus-
tomers. and many French barbers do
ladies' hairdressing. Austrian barbers,
are compelled to serve apprenticeships
of four years on pay beginning at 41
cents a week and ending at $1.02 a
week berore they can awn their shops.
Syrian barbers seat their customers
In straight backed chairs before tiny
wall mirrors and tlx queer shaped pans
'about their throats. Then they rub on
with their fingers lather made from
cheap soap
In India your barber calls at your
house and shares you every morning
for 32 a mouth.
In China the barbers carry stools,
small tubs. razors and scissors about
the streets, stopping on the sidewalks
to perform their work-, Just as scissors
grinders do in America. — New York

Some British Sinecures.
Gladstone was born nt a time when
sinecures such as those held by Horace
Walpole still abounded, and to the end
of his life he took a lenient view of the
persons who profited by them. A.. G.
C. Liddell records in his diary on
March 12, 1892: "Dined with the Cob -
hams. Mr. Gladstone there. * * •
Some one alluded to the diminution of
sinecures. Mr. Gladstone said that
there was nothing dishonorable in ac-
cepting a sinecure if it was recognized
by the society in which it existed and
not considered unusual or unworthy.
One of the last sinecures, where there
was absolutely nothing to do, which
was not the case with all sinecures,
was the office of chief justice in eyre,
north of the Trent. It was held by
Tom Dtincombe and was Svorth i12,000
per annurn."—London Spectator.
Save the Good Heifers.
One of the greatest mistakes We
have restde in the past years is not
raising our good trade heifer calves.
Now the demand for good cows is
greater than the stipply. When Well
ared grade two-year-old heifers sell for
$75 to $100 it would seem we tould
market some of our surplus feed to
good advantage through this channel,
!nstead of sending so many thousand
iollars to other states each year and
buying something they want to get
id of.—.1. P. Mansion, 1111noia.
