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."

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 g g r meat or butter tinder r '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. Jur AIt1tiasall--One.

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,.

At the conclusion of the busi- ness, refreshments were served and social conversation eujoyed. 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 th se o £• o aro ressiv p g e nature, while 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.. %.adiee are proving the big T3argains in up-to-date Millinery at Mrs. Gtroerr's, This being the last fall +sesrren in lust - nese, everything must go regardless of prices.

Conee and receive good from t ese meetings, where the gospel which' is so ziew, although so old, will be preached and sung by Mr. and Mrs, Alexander Torrie.

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. riZEiftents 3 Good Flout.—Awde's, Wingham. Wear Greor'o Shoes and Rubbers.
