SANCTUM PARAGRAPHS.
---The daily papers repeat a new sort
of a fool. He was out hunting, and
allot a girl, thinking she was a squir-
rel. It is time such silly fools were
put where they are not allowed to
handle firearm's..
--I o o
tiswf rhnotr g, that the. Hy-
dro -Electric Comintssion erected the
line within the estimate of $3,500,000,
while the National Transcontinental
line, the Grand Trunk Pacific, esti-
mated to cost fifty millions will coat
considerably over two hundred mil-
lion dollars. The difference points to
a striking contrast between the
methods in vogue by the Ontario and
Dominion Governments.
--After a lot of talk, there are indi-
cations that the Reciprocity question
will drop out of sight for the present
at least, There is no great demand
for it in Canada, and with conflicting
opinions on the question, the east
wantiug one thing and the west an,
other, it would be uncomfortable for
the. Government to make any sacrifice
of Oanadiau interest to secure it. The
feet that ?resident Taft.is apparently
anxious too secure it, should make Ca-
nadtens cautious as to how they ap-
proach the question.
—The war vessel, Niobe, the first of
the Canadian "navy," arrived in Hali-
fax last week. We are glad to assure
our readers that now all fear of attack
by a foreign foe may be dismissed.
Our shores are now protected, and the
country is safe. Now then, Japan,
Uncle Sam, Germany, and all the rest
of you, stand off, or the Niobe will let
off her thundering artillery, and scare
the wits out of you, This "navy"
business is going to cost Canada a lot
of good money, and Niobe will have
to do something, if nothing more than
to shoot cif her guns, make a noise
and amuse the crew,
—Monday next, Oct. 31st, is the
day set apart by the Dominion 'Gov-
ernment as a day of Thanksgiving for
Canada. It is fitting that such a day
be named ; stilt more fitting, that it
should be observed. Possibly some
may allow it to pass without one pass-
ing thought either of the Great Giver
of all good, or of gratitude for bless-
ings received, and few will manifest
that spirit of devout thankfulness that
should characterize a people, so favor-
ably situated. Thanksgiving day in
'America, dates • back to November
efa. 26th, 1'789, when according to a pro-
clamation issued by "Geo, Washington,
a day of national thanksgiving was
observed in the then new republic of
the T7nite& States. Previous to this
such a day had been observed only oc-
casionally, such as when in 1775, a day
of thanksgiving was kept at Leyden,
in Holland, on account of special de-
liverance of the city from a siege. in
this year of 1910, in this fair Canada of
ours, we have much cause for
gratitude. Peace reigns within our
borders. We fear no attack ; no arm-
ed force by land or sea threatens our
homes. Crops have been good ; 'there
is abundance of food for man and
beast. No Sweeping epidemics have
decimated our communities, hence
Canadians as a people have cense for
gratitude,. Homes there are doubt-
less,
oubt-
les.s, where sorrow has come ; where
bereavement has left its tear -stained
marks behind, but if we only look
through the mists and shadows, the
silver lining of the crotid inay be seen.
So let us remember that we deserve
but little; yet much to us has been.
given, The thought of our depen-
dence should fill us with humility
while even an attempt to "count our
'blessings," should .overwhelm us with
gratitude. True gratitude, however,
does not spend itself in idle emotions.
There are those who need a word of
cheer, or timely, tangible aid, or a
'helping hand. This seeing to have
been the thought of the poet Barns,
when he wrote t --
"We thank Thee, 0 Father of All, for
the power
Of aiding each other itt life'e darkest
hour,
The generous heart and the bountiful
hand,
And all the soul.belp that sad souls
understand."

PUBLIC MEETING.
The tuberculosis exhibit of the pro-
vinetal Board of Health was in Wing -
ham for .a few .days last week. It
consists of charts, maps, photos of
sanitaria, models of tent, equipment,
utensils, kc,, for consumptive patients,
and illustrates the advantage of the
out-of-doors treatment of this insidi-
ous
ous disease. The exhibit is large, and
requires a special ear for its •convey-
ance, The objects in view are—to
diffuse information as to the danger
of contracting tuberculosis, how to
avoid it, treatment of the disease, to
awaken interest in the public health,
and to secure .co-operation of citizens
in the efforts made to curtail the
ravages of consumption, and if possi-
ble stamp it out altogether ; the latter
is said to be possible,
We have a word of criticism, how-
ever, to offer. The men in charge
h
understand the work
t ofsetting s ett'tg u P the
exhibit, removal, etc., but at least one
of them should be able to work the
lantern slides, explain the views, and
really show the exhibit. A sanitarium
is thrown on the canvas, but the audi-
ence is in the dark as to where it is.
An organ- of the body is shown, but
unless a medical roan present volun-
teers information, it might as well be
a blot on paper, so far as educating
the public is concerned. This is a
defect that ought to be remedied.
Dr, Irwin, Warden of Huron, pre-
sided, A. 13. Musgrove, M.L. A., Dr.
Kennedy and Redmond gave instruct-
ive addresses. Mr. Corbett assisted
with the views, and Messrs. Cline and
Willis rendered solos between the
addresses.
The Advance reports the meeting
to some length; because of the im-
portance of the subject, and the infor-
mation given in the addresses.
Mr, Musgrove, M,L,A., was the first
speaker, and dealt with "The relation
of the State to the. ,
ck He outlined
ed
utli n
the functions of the federal and Pro-
vincial governments, pointing out
that the duties of the latter were
more closely identified with the daily
and social life of the people, The pro-
vinces have charge of education, asy-
lums, hospitals, prisons, administra-
tions of justice, etc., but on account of
the provincial revenue being limited,
as much could not be done for charit-
able institutions as could be desired.
Ontario, however, was looking after
the blind, the deaf and dumb, the in-
sane, and by means of this exhibit
was arousing the people to an effort to
stamp out the white plague. Ontario
is now educating 139 blind. persons,
276 deaf and dumb, and caring for
5385 insane, 800 idiotic, besides those
of the criminal class. A Conservation
Commission had been appointed by
the Federal government to conserve
our timber resources, but the sick
should receive even greater attention.
A reduction in the death rate from
tuberculosis was reported, and with
public opinion aroused, there was
reason to hope that it might be tamp-
ed out. Ontario is now spending
$1,000,000 on asylums and prisons, and
$300,000 on hospitals. ho petals. The policy of
the Government with regard to con-
sumption was to have several small
sanitoria, where not more than 100
could be treated. A grant of $4,000
is made for construction, and $3.00 a
week for each patient, He briefly
outlined what had been done in. -Huron
county towards establishing a sani-
tarium, and .hoped that the effort
would yet be successfnl,
Dr. Kennedy read a carefully prepar-
ed and very instructive paper on "The
Prevention of Tuberculosis." He in-
troduced the subject by referring to
the history of disease prevention,
showing what had been accomplished
in the case of bubonic plague, Asiatic
eholera and smallpox. He stated that
to carry out the prevention of tuber-
culosis, two things must be especially
considered—first, the bacillus itself,
and secondly, the individual.
To avoid infection from the tubercle
bacillus, it was necessary that the
uta of consumption be most care -
illy dealt with. Patients with eons
....
sumption shenld never be allowed
to expectorate promiscuously. They
should expectorate into cups or hand
kerchiefs, which should be burned or
destroyed, or into a sputa cup, the
contents of which should be burned,
The cup used should be disinfected
with carbolic acid, Dairies, slaugh-
ter -houses and herds should be under
government inspection, and all tuber -
cuter cattle should be destroyed to
prevent c nt io
o a n through h Ynilk

'C7 a individual
prevention, he stated that people
should live in the open, getting as far
as possible the maximum Amount of
fresh air and sunshine, in hereditari-
ly predisposed tliiIdren, all hygiene
precautions should be taken. All nose
and throat troubles should receive
oarefut attention. Especially should
enlarged. tomtis 'and adenoids be at-
tended to. he advised that the -
health be kept above rae, attd the
avoidance as far as possible of all in-
fections, especially of the rertpirtory
system,such as colds, initeensa, la,
grippe, byronel,itio, etc. In countries
where proper preoa,mtiotae have been
taken, the mortality of We dieeaee
hat lit ent retread 50 per Genic. Dr.
Melanism It sanded that the Preildeart Of
the British Medical Association in a
recent addrese, predicted that if
adequate preventative measures *ere
adopted along the Iines lata down, in
25 yearsa case of teberculosis would
be a curiosity,
Dr. Redmond spoke on "The treat-
ment of Consumption," One by one
the epidemic dieases are being over-
come --diphtheria, Asiatic cbolera and
bubonic u is plague;: even typhoid fever is
being treated with serum now,. Small-
pox is no longer to be feared and the
white plague is understood and treated
in a method that bids fair to eradicate
this insidious monster from our land
in the next few generations. Three
facts should be born in mind—first, it
is a communicable or contagious
ease ; second, it is preventible ; third,
it is curable. Experience and science
working hand in hand have provided
a remedy that is capable of curing all
incipient cases, and of securing a fair
degree of health for many years to
those with h a mo dangerous amount
of
g nt
disease. The open air treatment is
now in use in Great Britain, Germany
and the United States with excellent
results, Its main points are—(l) Life
in the open air for not less than 22
hours out of 24. (2) Absolute rest in
bed at the commencement to conserve
the muscle, fat and energy, which are
being consumed. (3) Increase the
nutrition by a plentiful supply of plain
food at regular hours, (4) Supervision
by a competent nurse. (5) Plenty of
time, The ideal treatment would be
to place every consumptive in a sant-
tarium, but as the cost of this is pro-
hibitory, it is necessary to treat 90 per
cent. of them at home. The home
treatment may be conducted by pine
ing a bed on the verandah or balcony,
protected from the wind and rain, or
in a tent, cubicle, cottage or shack.
The patient is placed at absolute rest
in bed during tbe first part of the
treatment, or until his temperature is
normal, after this he isallowed mild
exercise, increased as convalesence
r ceeds
p a Plenty of plain, nutritious
food given in three substantial meals
each day at long intervals, say six
hours apart, with a glass of milk or
eggnogg in the intervals. Supervision
by a competent nurse is absolutely
necessary to get the best results.
The day camp method is used in some
of the cities. An open space of ground,
is secured or a roof. A diet kitchen
is necessary. The patients are invited
to come in the morning after break-
fast and spend the day in reclining
chairs. A substantial meal is provid-
ed at noon and a glass of milk before
leaving for home in the evening. A
third plan originated with Emmanuel
Church in Boston, ' known as the
"Class" method. In this plan a con-
gregation undertakes to treat 12 or 15
cases in the early stage.- The caees are
selected with care by a physician. A
nurse visits each one daily during the
first part of the treatment and gives
instruction to the proper kind and
quantity of food, the destruction of
sputum, isolation from the rest of the
family, arrangement of the bed to
secure fresh air.. etc. Later on the
patients are invited to meet the nurse
and doctor once a week in a room pro-
vided for the purpose, where each one
is carefully examined, weigbed and
temperature recorded and progress
noted. This method reaches a large
number at a minimum of cost and has
given excellent results. The need of
bringing treatment to tbe homes of
many in the poorer quarters of our
cities is very great. One in every
eight deatbs is due to tuberculosis.
There are over 50,000 consumptives in
Canada today; 2841 died of it in
Ontario last year. Out of 32 early
cases treated in Muskoka Sanitarium,
31 remained in good health and at
work six years after treatment. Of
52 more serious cases, 31 remained
well six years after treatment. In
England and Wales the mortality has
been reduced one half in 50 years ;; at
this rate- tuberculosis will beentirely
gone by 1910. In Edinburgh the
mortality 'lees been reduced 42 per
,cent, in ten years ; in New York 20 per
cent, in ten years. Eleven thousand
CanadianI die every year of white
plague ; if this continues 780,000 will
be sacrificed before the end of this
century to the great god tuber
Weals.
A vote of thanks to all who assisted
was moved by Rev. Dr. Rutledge,
seconded by Wm. Nicholson, and the
meeting closed with the national
anthem.

Social Evening,
A very enjoyable social evening was
spent in Holmes' school house, Friday
evening, in connection with the Sun,
da h
y Seim' there. The programme
consisted of readings, recitations, ad-
dresses, and singing by the choir.
After the programme, Miss Wellwood
was invited to the platform and pre-
sented with a beautiful Bible, as a
token of appreciation of her services
as organist, previous to her departure
from. the neighborhood. The ladies
then furnished excellent refreshments,
and social conversation was enjoyed,
especially by the young people. The
pleasantly spent evening was brought
to a close by singing "God be with
you till we meet again."
Fatal Accident.
Last week, a fatal accident was re-
ported from ldarriston to Mr. Double -
dee, who lives near that village. Be
wentto
the field
to bring in
a
r new
w
calf, He had his dog with hien and as
he approached the calf, the cow,
which was standing by, sprang at the
dog. The dog ran behind his master
and the cow in its fear rushed madly
upon Mr. Doubledee, crushing him to
the ground, He was taken to the
house, where he lingered in great suf-
fering, dying Monday morning. The
accident has cast a gloom over the
whole community, for the victim was
a man well known, in the prime of
life, and extremely popular with all
who knew him. He leaves a wife and
family to mourn his sad ending.
Teachers' Convention..
The 37th annual convention of the
East Huron Teachers' ,Association was
held in Clinton Collegiate Institute on.
Thursday and Friday, Oct. 20th and
List. The, attendance was large and
the convention interesting and in-
structive throughout the sessions,.
One of the interesting parts of the
program was "An introductory lesson
on decimals,,> by principal Stalker of
Wingham, On Thursday evening the
teachers of Clinton gave an "At
Home" to the teachers of the Associ-
ation in the Town Hall at which a
most enjoyable evening was spent.
The Clinton Orchestra furnished suit-
able music and J. P. Hoag, B.A,, of
London Normal School, gave an ex-
cellent address on "The Education of
to -day and the Nation of to -morrow,'
after which refreshments were served
to all present.

Drowned in Ohio.
A news item from Blenheim says :--
Mr. Dalton of Kingsbridge, Huron
Co., arrived in town on Friday to look
after the effects of his late brother,
Americus Dalton, an old gentleman,
who had resided continuously at the
Sheldon house for nearly eight years
back, and had been of a very retiring
disposition, making few friends and
no intimates. Being well-to-do as far
as this world's goods are concerned,
he enjoyed living in this retired style
of bachelor life. A few weeks ago he
took a trip to Uncle Sit -m's domains
and the next heard of him was a tele-
gram telling the sad news of his
drowning at Ashtabula, Ohio.
They Trusted Sheldon.
Sheldon, the "great" financier, skip-
ped with the weattla supplied by
those trusting fools, who confided to
hien their cash. Walkerton seems to
have been a mine of wealth for the
rascal. The Bruce Times says :—"It
is a meagre estimate to say that Shel-
don received from fifty to seventy-five
thousand dollars from the town. A
great many eases of hardship will re-
sult if Sheldon doesn't make good.
Some have borrowed money to invest.
Others mortgaged their property.
The amounts run from $50 up to $3,-
000, One of our professional men is
reported to have put in over $3,000.
One laboring man, who has worked
hard all his life and had accunilated a
saving, had $500 invested. In another
case four sisters had together $1,800 of
their hard savings invested."
Enjoyable Evening.
The A.Y.P.A. of St, Paul's church
entertained about twenty members of
the A. Y. l', A, of Blytli, and also a
number of the young people of Trinity
church, Belgrave, on Monday evening
last in the school room. Altogether,
about a bemired young people enjoy-
ed themselves, playing various games,
Its many ag possible taking part in

others were entertained otherwise,
At the conclusion of the time allowed
for games, the company adjourned to
the Mills' Memorial hail, where a
short but interesting mueicall program
was given, and greetings of welcome
extended to the visitors by the rector,
Rev. I. H. Croly, in behalf of St.
Paul's branch of the A.Y,P.A. Re-
freshinents were afterwards served
in the schoolroom, and the company
dispersed at a late hour, alt appearing
to have enjoyed the social evening..

Already, So Soon ?
There are already rumors regarding
the temperature of the next municipal
election, and the present indications
are that there will be a genuine
election, and not a walk -aver. Reeve
Irwin announces ann unces hisde c' '
is on to retire
ire
from the municipal arena, although
many would like to have seen him
step up to the Mayoralty. For the
Reeveship, we understand that two
are likely to be in the field, and if
rumors are correct, Coun. McKibben
and Coutl. McDonald aro at work in
that direction. Coun. Gregory is not
anxious to spend his strength for the
Town any longer, neither is Mayor
Holmes ; both have worked long and
hard. If we mistake not, Mayor
Holmes has put in nineteen years- of
faithful service in the municipal
arena. Coun. Bone might not be un-
willing to serve again, but does not
aspire to either the Reeveship or the
Mayoralty. , Conn. Elliott has done
good service at the Council table, but
has not publicly declared his inten-
tions as to the future. Dr. Redmond's
name has been mentioned favorably
fol' the Mayoralty. He has been a
careful, faithful worker and would
grace the Mayor's chair with becom-
ing dignity. The new aspirants for
the vacant Councillorships have not
yet appeared publicly as such. For
both the Reeveship and the Mayoralty
however, the proverbial "dark horse"
is very likely to appear. Later on,
we shall see the situation more clearly
defined. Probably we shall "hear"
something too, before the smoke of
battle clears away. So far as the
Commissioners are concerned, Mr.
Morton can survey the scene undis-
mayed. He remains, and the new
Mayor is as yet an unknown quantity.
The term of office of the third mem-
ber of the Commission, V, R,Van
Norman, expires with this year, so
that either he must be re-elected or
another to fill the vacancy. If we are
to judge from rumors, the Commie-
stoners will require to be clothed in
defensive armor, Since we wrote the
above, the names of Dr. Kennedy and
ex -Councillor Spotton have also been
mentioned in connection with the
Mayoralty. But rumors are not al-
ways reliable ; yet sometimes, they do
turn out to have had foundation.
