Further English Comment Upon
the Exeter Advocate, Etc.
The "Exeter Flying Post" it prosper-
ous looking newspaper of Exeter. Dev-
onshire, England, makes further inter-
esting comment upon :1'itg Ant -cr-
eam" and some of its recent news
items, etc., the whole of which is well
worth reading. :Many of our items
apparently seem odd to the 131itish
mind, just as their items seems odd to
us. Perhaps the most peculiar thing
we notice is to be found in (be adver-
tisements. We see. theft one coin -
menet.); thus: "Joshua D.aw•, Gentle-
men Tailor and Breeches Maker," an-
other starts •'H. D. Western's Best
Quality Slab Cake," etc., while the
"ails." show odd make up as to lines
of type. the whole paper containing
only a few different forms of type.
",The Flying Post" of September 23.
says in part: 'Another copy of the
"Exeter Advocate," published at Exe-
ter, Ontario, has reached me, and I
am pleased to gather front its appear-
ance and from the news it contains
that the Canadian town to which old
"Sem er Fidelis" has stood god -moth-
er is doing well. Officially, Exeter,
Ont., is described as a village, an of-
ficial advertisement commencing thus:
"A By -Law for borrowing such sutra of
sums of money." The By -Law gives
some idea of the' size of the place for
$18,000 is roughly tnidway between
£3,000 and £4,000. The capital expen-
penditure on the Electricity Works at
Exeter, England, prior to the installa-
tion of the tramway generating plant
was over £82,000, (or stay $420,000,) 01
which mains were responsible for £14,-
700, leaving about £'7.300, as the cost
of the station, equipment, &e. The
total rateable property of the Canadi-
an Exeter is valued at £108,8'..)., and
it is interesting to see from the adver-
tisement that it is governed by a
Reeve and Corporation, or Council.
The Clerk is Jos. Senior, and among
other names associated with the Eng-
lish Exeter and mentioned in the an-
nouncement relative to the electricy
works are Silas Handford,Joseph Coh-
bledrek. Williant Weekes, Alexander
Dyer, Joseph Davis and James North
Howard.
Among other thins which I gather
from the "Advocate is that there is a
"Labour Day" in the province, hut it
seems to be made an excuse for out-
ings rather than to take the form of
serious demonstrations and stern
speechmaking. Thustinder "Crediton"
I read: "Labor Day passed otT very
quietly in our burgh. A number of
the sports took in the baseball game
at Lucan." Again: "Several Exe-
terites attended a pleasant 'glide and
step' at Parkhill Labor Day evening,"
while a Grand Bend report states that
"Our viilage presented a lively appear-
ance on Labor Day, a large picnic from
Crediton spending the day here."
Some of the local diversions sound
strange to British ears. Thus a cor-
respondent at %Voodbam announces
that "A number of our young people
took in the honey and bun social at
Zion Monday evening." Apparently
life is considered too abort in Ontario
to say took part. Other paragraphs
include one taken from a defunct local
journal of 1882 recording how Mr.
Robert Sanders (a native of Devon) on
reaching Snowflake, during a visit in
Manitoba was met by a number of
mounted friends, who had dressed
themselves as Indians one of them
having ridden across the prairie on a
white ox, being unable to secure a
horse.

drowning accident occurred on Thurs-
day, whereby Mrs. Margaret McEwen
lust her life. Deceased was the relict
of the late Roht. McEwen, and was
aged 77 years. Since the death of her
husband, some fifteen years ago, Mrs.
McEwen has Mede her home with her
son, William, on the 8th concession.
On the above day the son went out to
work on the fat•tn, and the little girl
went to school as usual, leaving the
old Indy in care of the household du.
ties. During the course of the day,
she, needing a pail of water, went to
the cistern in the corner of the cellar
to get it. and, as far as can be learned,
one of the cover boards broke and pre-
cipitated ci)itnted her into the water from
which she was unable to extricate her •
self without assistance. When the
little girl arrived home front school af-
ter four ei clock she could not find her
grandmother and ran to the field to
tell her uncle. After a search of the
premises Mr. McEwen, noticing the
broken ioard, dragged the cistern.
where he found his mother. The fun-
erel took piece on Saturday to Car-

Good Bread should please
the Eye as well as the Palate.
Why does the dainty housewife delight in
snowy napery, glittering cut -glass, burnished
silver, delicate china and all other table
allurements dear to feminine hearts ?
And what man does not appreciate table
beauty?
It is not that we appreciate the appearance
of our food alinoSt as much as the taste of it?
Bread may be ever so wholesome, well -
flavored and made of scientifically milled flour,
but with all these qualities we want it to look
dainty, appetising, snowy -white, with nut-
brown crust, and be firm and silky in texture.
Royal Household Flour makes jugt that
kind of bread.
The elecctrical purification and itterilization
of Royal Household Flour makes it yield not
only absolutely pure bread, but bread of
snow, whiteness and beautiful texture -
bread that will grace the prettiett table or
give beauty to the humbled meal served on
the plaint dishes.
You can prove this by trying a 25 Ib. bag
-you must have flour, why not have the
beit.

Gentleman, -Four years ago I purchased from one of
your salesmen a Home Comfort Range and have found it an
excellent heater and cooker, and a great fuel saver. I be-
lieve it will save more than 10 per cent. on its price in fuel,
that in ten years will pay for it; and I see no reason why it
will not lasta life time, being made of steel plate and malle-
