The dead body of Mrs. W. J. Nelson of this place was found on the street here Saturday. • She had been missing for several hours, having gone out after supper in order to get the evening mail. As Mrs. Nelson had been in good health, Coroner Thompson has ordered an inquest, A post-mortem is being held. A casual examination did not bring out signs pointing to a violent death. IroltuvcE. We are sorry to hear that Joseph Brophey is a little under the weather at present, We hope to soon hear of his recovery. A. Haggill and son have finished the contract of putting up a new wire fence along the road for Souter Taylor. They are hustlers and have made a fine job of it. The township has put in two steel culverts, 6 feet wide, at the east side of the tenth brigde, and has made a fine job. We hope this will carry away the water.and that we shall have no more washouts, as it has been a big ex- pense filling them in after the flood last spring. EAST WAWANOSU. There died at her home on the 4th concession of East Wawanosh, on Sun- day, Aug. 11th, an old and highly es- teemed resident of this section, in the person of M a r g a r e t Robinson, beloved wife of Mr. Jere- miah Parks, aged 71 years, 6 months and 3 days.

Clegg, one of the prosperous young farmers of our township, passed away on Monday evening, August 12th, at his residence, 10th con. With the exception of two years spent in Minto, Mr. Clegg had always lived in Howick. He was the eldest son of the late Fran- cis Clegg and was born on the 13th con. in the year 1862. He was married to Miss Matilda Galbraith,also of Howick, who, with one daughter, Miss Mary, and one son, Lindsay, both at home, survive him. Deceased had been sick for more than a year with cancer and at times was a great sufferer. He was a quiet man, fond of home and taking little part in public affairs; a good neighbor and highly respected by a large circle of friends and acquaintanc- es. Mr. Clegg was a member of the Methodist Church, Orange Hill, also a member of L. O. L. No. 575, under whose auspices the funeral was con- ducted. WHIT ECU UItCH. Miss Ethel Thompson is progressing favourably. Miss Margaret Hutchison is home on her vacation. Miss M. Paterson, of Toronto is spending her vacation with her parents. Geo. Longman, of Montana visited his wife's friends, Mrs. Charters and Mrs. Campbell, of the village. A. D. Beaton, of Clinton "looked" in at the village where he spent so many years. He is not so strong as he used to be, still he looks better than we ex- pected to see him. The Quarterly Official Board of the Methodist Church, met recently. It was decided to advance the salary of the pastor for the coming year. The financial statement of last year shows an advance of $264.76 over the previous year (1910-1911.) Receipts of the last Conference year were $1103.00, which includes the paid-up salary of pastor and other funds. BLIIEVALE. Rev.

TTd . The postoffice here was robbed early Wednesday morning of last week. The burglars entered by breaking the win- dow in the door, then put their hand through and opened the lock, after which they must have forced the door into the private office. They used nitro-glycerine to blow open the safe. No other damage was clone to the office. The postmaster estimates the loss in money and stamps at about 8200, $160 of the plunder being stamps, In their haste the burglars missed a drawer with registered letters and bills in it. There is no clue to the robbers. A revolver, with seven chambers loaded, was found between the postoffice and the G. T. R. station. It is supposed the burglars were experts by the way the work was done. • C1tAN11aO0K. After a long life Mrs. Adam Baker, of Cranbrook, passed away Tuesday, August 13th at the home of her daugh- ter, Mrs. Joseph Ryan, lot 32, con. 14, McKillop, in her 85th year. She went to visit Mrs. Ryan two months ago and never got back home. The Friday previous to her death Mrs, Baker hacl a stroke of paralysis effecting her right side, from which she never rallied.

Clark, of Calumet, Mich., and Mrs. Ryan, McKillop. Funeral took place Thursday, Aug. 15th to Seaforth R. C. church and cemetery. Rev. Fr. Blair conducted the service. The subject of this notice had a wide circle of friends who esteemed her for her many good qualities of both head and heart. Mrs. Richard Proctor, 4th line, has been on the sick list with rheumatism and tonsilitis but we hope she will soon be better. Robert McGuire, of the 3rd line has threshed his Fall wheat crop having 280 bushels off 10 acres. Others who have threshed have not had as favorable results. Miss Belle McCall of Toronto: Louis McCall, of Chatham; and Albert Wright of London, were visitors with Simpson McCall• and other relatives and friends in Morris township.

LUt%RN01V Ernest Leslie Walker, cheesemaker at the Paramount factory, dropped dead at his boarding-house here, on Satur- day, August 10th. Deceased who was a healthy -looking man, got up as usual and went into the factory to start the fire in the boiler house. Having done this, he returned to the house for breakfast, and was sitting playing with the baby, when he suddenly collapsed, and on ex- amination he was found dead. Dr. Gordon, the coroner, gave heart fail- ure as the cause of death. Deceased was unmarried. His brother-in-law lives in Listowel, and his parents are out West. He was in his twenty- third year. The remains were sent to Listowel for interment. While at work in Mitchell Bros.' mill on Saturday afternoon, Thomas Agnew had a miraculous escape from death, When his clothing caught in the belting. He managed to brace himself, and held on until Thomas McDonald and Ewan McC'uaig came to his assistance, and freed him after the greater part of his clothes had been torn off. Agnew sus- tained many severe bruises. TE1;9WATE R, Will Cross has sold this year's crop of hay, and the press machine has been busy getting it ready for shipping.

Diarrhoea, dysentry, cholera in- fan'bum and stomach disorders come without warning and when a medicine is not at hand to give promptly the short delay frequeutly means that the child has passed beyond aid. 13aby's Own Tablets should always be kept in the home where there are young child- ren. An occasional dose of the Tab- lets will prevent stomach and bowel troubles, or if the trouble come sud- denly the prompt use of the Tablets will cure the baby. Mrs. Adelore Oui- llette, St. Bruno, Que., writes: "My baby was troubled with his bowels, but Baby's Own Tablets soon set him right again." 7.'he Tablets are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. IBELGRAVE, Mr. John Kerr, of Wingham, preach- ed in the Methodist Church on Sunday last. Bev. Mr. Kirkpatrick is away on his holidays. It is said that J.A. Brandon., East Wa- wanosh, has sold his fine 100 acre farm to Thos. Montgomery, of Wroxeter local- ity, for the sum of $6,'00. Mr. Brand- on will probably retire from active farm life and he and Mrs. Brandon take a holiday for some time. We hope they will continue to reside in this locality. Mrs. Brandon is a daughter of the late ex -Reeve Wm. Wray, of Belgrave. GREY. With no small regret we learn that Wm. and Mrs. Whitfield 12th con., are ill with typhoid fever. Many friends wish them a speedy recovery. Tuesday of last week in lifting pota- toes for the dinner Mrs. Locking, 12th con., came upon a hill that contained 110 potatoes. A few hills like that one would keep a family for a good share of a Winter. Wm. and Mrs. McTaggart, of Bran- don, Man.; Mrs, Scott, of Preston, and the latter's daughter, Mrs. Kilpatrick, of Kault, B. C , are visitors at Mrs. D. McTaggart's. The first mentioned is a son and Mrs. Scott is a sister to Mrs. McTaggart. TURN BEER T Mr. J. H. Linklater gave the mem- bers of his Bible class an "At Home", at his residence, Maple Lodge Farm, on Saturday evening last. It took the form of a farewell to Miss Edna M. Dickson who is leaving for the coast this week. The evening was spent in social conversation, music, games, etc. The choir gave a few selections which were appreciated. Lunch was then served in the hostess' usual good style. Mr. Linklater then gave his class a very pleasant surprise by presenting each with a nice souvenir and all returned home after thanking Mr. and Mrs. Linklater for the most enjoyable even- ing. The steamer Eric, ashore on Sable Island, is a total wreck, having broken up. The crew were all saved, also part of the cargo of Argentine maize. Within a radius of 250 miles of Wor- cester, Mass., there are, says a writer in the Breeders Gazette of Chicago, 20,000,0(10 people. Practically all these are consumers. This is one more indi- cation of the extent of the market Old Canada would have had at its doors for food products had Reciprocity been approved of last September. A Washington report says it is ex- pected that the House of Representa- tives will meet the Senate half way and agree to build om,e battleship in- stead of two this year, the cost of the ship not to exceed $15,000,000. Eight submarines, costing $4,480,000, and a fleet of torpedo boats, colliers and machine ships are also, according to this report, to be provided. The Geneva Experiment Station. says Rural New Yorker, made a study of orchard conditions in New York State and decided that on good land, suitable for an apple orchard, commercial fer- tilizers are not needed. Such stable manure as is made on the farm should be used, and clover and other crops plowed under—but the theory is that on strong apple land, with good cul- ture, chemicals are not needed.

Assuming that silence is assent in this particular case, I will share with you a bit of information that I recently found in an old beauty chronicle. It was almost impossible to read this ancient beauty tale, as the writing was faded and worn, but I per- severed and you receive the reward of my persistence. If any of you are bothered with lack- lustre hair, a dandruff infested scalp. or tresses that persist in falling out, then rub the following lotion well into the scalp at night, as it is a wonder worker, if we are to believe the beauty records of the past. Make a strong tea by boiling a heap- ed up tablespoonful of dried sage in a pint of rainwater. When only half a pint of the liquid remains, strain and cool. Next pour two cups of boiling rainwater over a heaping tablespoonful of sulphur and after stirriug well for a few minutes, let stand until it becomes i perfectly cool. The clear liquid should now be drained off and added to the sage tea. Linen 6,000 Years Old. In one of the apartments at Univer- sity College, Professor Flinders Petrie has placed on exhibition some remark- ably interesting antiquities unearthed at Tarkhan, Heliopolis and Mephis under the auspices of the British School of Archaeology in Egypt. The great cemetery of Tarkhan, which occupied a mile of desert forty miles south of Cairo and which dates from the earliest historic age until the race of the pyramid builders, has prov- ed to be exceedingly prolific in antiqui- ties. What has struck Professor Petrie is the extraordinary preservation of the woodwork and clothing unearthed from these places of interment of long ago. A great sheet of linen which is placed on exhibition is as fresh and as firm as when cut from the original length—and it is some 6,000 years old. So, like- wise, with the woodwork, which in but few instances show signs of decay. Here are boxes that served their pur- pose as funeral caskets, built of planks of acacia and shittim wood, and as firm and secure as when lowered into the bosom of the earth in dim antiquity.— Washington Herald. IN THE HOfJSEHOi-Q• Brandon, Man., is in throes of a building strike. Wm. Greenlaw, a pioneer of Minto township, died suddenly at his daugh- ter's residence, Salem, aged 85. A tramp named I3urns from Halifax was killed by a train between Orillia and Victoria Harbor. Dr. J. W. Colver died at Welland - port, aged eighty-two. He had prac- tised medicine there for half a century. John P. Starnamen, 71 years of age. and in business 42 years in Berlin, died after a paralytic stroke. Amos B. Hyde of Boston had his neck broken when his motor car turned turtle near Homer, six miles east of St. Catharines. Spinach and eucumbers make a tasty hot weather salad. Toasted sandwiches are very tasty es- pecially on a cool night. A slice of bacon or salt pork improves the flavor of any kind of greens. Radishes boiled till tender, sliced and served with cream sauce are unusually good. Cherries. huckleberries or peaches substituted for apples may be used in making a brown betty with good effect. By those who like the flavor of mint, a few sprigs added to the pitcher of iced tea will be appreciated. Vegetables always have amore delicate flavor if cooked with little water. It is because of this that vegetables encosser- ole are particularly tasty. Berries or lettuce leaves may be kept fresh over night by packing in a preserve ion ice. The lettuce should jarand plaeing ou d P g be washed first. The berries should not be hulled or washeduntil ready for use. A delicate frozen pudding is made by adding to a simple boiled custard, just before putting it into freezer, half a cup- ful of nuts, dates and figs. Industrial conditions in Canada were seriously disturbed by labor disputes during July, the number in existence in that month being considerably greater than the number existing in June accord- ing to an official statement from the lab- or department. The number actually commencing, however, during July com- pares favourably with that of the prev- ious month. In all, forty-six disputes were reported.
