FTER seeing a bateh 'of

white loaves, that you
have baked from PURITY
FLOUR, you will, indeed, be
proud of your cooking -ability --
and proud of your wisdom in
deciding to pay the little extra
it costs to procure such high-class flour. You will
admit, too, that we are justified in the pride we take
in milling this superb flour.

caution to add more sb orlening. On account of its unusual
strength PURITY FL'i)UIt, for best results, requires more
shortening than ordinal 7 flour.

between themselves where the road
should be. In regard to bridges between
McRillop and Hallett, mentioned in
the engineer's report, recommended
that tenders be asked for,' to be open-
ed at the January meeting. Recom-
mended that the fence at the approach
of the Afaitiand bridge at Goderich be
repaired in place of building a new
one, as a new tight board fence would
have a tendency to hold the snow in
the wjnter. With regard to motion
of Messrs, Baillie and Stothers that
the county aseuwe and pay for bridge
between West Wawanosh and Bruce
County, recommended that county
engineer examine same and report
at. January meeting.

Teachers' Certificates.
The "Vancouver Province" remarks
thus: --"To cheek the exodus of On-
tario teachers to the West, it is pro-
posed to make their certificates con-
ditional on one year's service in the
Province. Realizing that many can
get a marriage certificate in the West
in six months' handicap will prove a
dead letter.
Mr, Leckie, chairman of the special
committee respecting Maitland power,
made a report of the work of the corns
reittee,
Moved by Messrs. Leckie and Goven-
lock that while this council approves
of the scheme of Hydra -Electric pow-
er, the county of Huron, as -a cor-
poration, is believed of further action
in connection with the Maitland pow-
er scheme, as the Ontario Hydro -
Electric Commission bras concluded to.
go on with the scheme of delivering
power to the municipalities.
Moved in amendment by Messrs.
Taylor and Stothers, that owing to
the fact that the Hydro -Electric Com-
mission has taken up the scheme of
delivering power on the Maitland
River, this council is in favor of leav-
ing the whole question in the hands
of the Commission. The motion car-
ried.
Moved by Messrs. Kernighan and
Bailie that the address of the Hon.
Adam Beck given in Godericb on the
17th of August be printed in pamph-
let form at once and a copy sent to
each member of the council—carried.
A motion by Messrs. Munninge and
Kernighan that a board fence six feet
high be built from the west end of
the Maitland bridge to the bank, a
distance of about sixty feet, was sent
to the road and bridge committee.
A delegation composed of Messrs.
Johnston, Tigert and Field addressed
the council on the necessity of im-
proving the appearance of the county,
by way of planting trees of suitable
variety, keeping the roads in good
condition and free of weeds, and
setting aside park lands in urban
municipalities. It was moved by Mes-
srs. Baillie and Winter that Messrs,
Glenn, Stothers, Sanders, and Ker-
nighan report on this matter—car-
ried.
Messrs. Reid and Livingston were
appointed delegates to the Good Roads
Association at Ottawa.
A motion by Messrs. Stothere and
Smith that the Council place on re-
cord its appreciation of the services
rendered by the Warden, Mr. Owen
Geiger, was carried by a standing
vote and the worthy Warden was

suitably engraved.
REPORTS.
The county engineer reported the
erection of, the following bridges this
season, viz.:—$intail and Garvey's
bridges on the Lake Road, Ashtied
Tp. ; Graham's bridge, in Colborne
Tp. ; Turner's bridge, over the Bay-
field River; McQueen's bridge on the
boundary of Usborne and Hibbert, and
also the bridge over the Aux Sauble
River, on the boundary of Huron and
Middlesex counties. The bridges on
the boundary of Hulled and McKillop
have not been erected, but wilt have
to be during the coming season. Re-
commended also that new flooring
and joists be procured for the Malt -
land bridge.
How true it is in many different walks of
11fthat S'a little child shall lead them." We
have been shown a copy of a letter written
by a lady of St. John, N.B., who only a
n ntit ago lost her little child, a girl of nine
years, of tubercular trouble. The mother's
own :verde tell the story Netter than it can
be told in any other way. She writes to
the Secretary of the Muskoka 1 reo hospital
for Consumptives at Grave:theist in these
words : " While my loved onewas ill, 1 one
night opened some literature from you at
her bedside. ,She asked rite what it :vggg�
1 told her it was a paper asking for Sufi-
sscriptions.to the Muskoka 1 ree lfospital
for Consumptives, and showed her the
pictures in the pamphlet. She asked if
tthe could not gyve what site had in her
little savings bank. I told her `Yes'- -to
give it to the doctor and he would send it.
But she was too sick when he came again,
so I am enelosing an express order for they,
amount 1 found in the bank, viz., $1.707
a small subscription, hut trust you will
receive it in the spirit in which it was
given."
The letter is typical o£ matt"r that are
being conetantiy received at the head office
of the Muskoka Hospital, 847 Icing St. W.,
Toronto. These come from all parte of
Canada, for patients) are received from any-
where in the Dominion.

Rabies In Wellington,
Owing to the prevalence pf rabies
in the north part of Wellington
County; action may be taken by the
Government to once more have all
doge either muzzled or tied up. In
the vicinity of Grand Valley several
farmers have loet°valuable horses due
to their being bitten by mad dogs, and
they are up in arms over the matter.
In Eramosa township several cases of
rabies have been reported, and the
farmers threaten to shoot any strange
dog that may come upon the pre-
mises.
Chickens Gone, Money Found.
An amusing incident is reported
from Raleigh Township. A well,
known farmer lady had a flock of
about 200 chickens that she was pre-
paring for market. She went to the
barn ou a ,recent morning to attend
to them and ' discovered to her
surprise that during the night
thieves had visited the place and
cleaned out the entire pen. She be-
gan a search at once for tracke, and
picked up a roll of bills in a rubber
band amounting to $210. Later in
the morning a well-known man visit-
ed the place and went straight out to
the henhouse. He returned to the
house in a few minutes however, and
asked the lady if she had any chick-
ens for sale, "No, sir,” she replies,
"I sold them all last night." The in-
cident closed with that, and the man
drove away.

TAB OPTIMISM OF THE
CONSUMPTIVE
Perhaps there is no disease, whilst
often fatal in its outcome, is yet) viewed
with so much optimism by the patients
themselves. It is well that it is so, for all
know to what extent one's own feelings,
whether cheery or the opposite, influence
both mental and physical conditions. "I
was certainly impressed with this thought,"
remarked a newspaper reporter, "in inter-
viewing a. patient of the Muskoka Free
Hospital for Consumptives. She was a.
pretty girl of 24, brown hair and dark
gray oyes, who had come all the way from
Saskatchewan. She said she felt pretty
sick when she first arrived at the Hospital,
and for two days the nurses had to person-
ally feed her. I have been in bed all the
time,' she said. 'I have been well cared for
while I have been here. I am euro 1 amt
going to get well, and feel better now than
before 1 took sick. Everybody seems so
happy and bright, and tells me whets 1 get
up i am sure to liko it. Everythin is done
to please me and make brie happy" One
:nay well wish that so bright a patient
should soon bo restored to health.`
