TUBE 1,: CULOSIS And the Wgrkof the Consumptive Sa aerie, The town hall was nicely filled with the good people f our town on Sunday night last, to h r the illustrated lec- ture on the abov subject, by Mr. J. B. Watson, the Fiel Secretary of the Na- tional Sanitariu Association. Dr. Redm ond, Medi al Officer of Health, adm irabiy filled, the chair, and Mr. Watson dexter° ly handled the lantern and slides. The lecture dealt firstly with the diseases, and the means by which it is propagated in this and all communities. Much valuable information was given as to what mayibe done to combat the great white plague. The latter pari; of the lecture outlined in picture with lucid explanation, two of the several Consumptive Hospitals established and •managed by the above Association. The Muskoka Cottage Sanatarium opened to receive patients in the year 18 6 has done work from the first, very encouraging to its pro- moters. Thousands of patients have passed through it of whom a large num- ber have been aptual cures, and many others reaching,a condition of improve- ment described as With Disease Ar- rested. This Innstitution, however has done more than, to make cures, it has done much to stir up interest, and con- sequently to increase the intelligence of the public along the line of tuber- cular and other germ diseases. Further than that it showed the need of, it ac- tually called for an institution where the poor, afflicted with tubercular disease, might have care and treatment free of charge when that was necessary, and hence the Muskoka Free Hospital for Consumptives, where at present accommodation is provided for nearly two hundred Consumptive patients, of whom fully 80 per cent. pay nothing at all. The maintenance of it for the present year ,• will cost over $75000.00, and since it is mostly dependent upon the contributi'p ns of the people of this Province, appeal is made for financial help. A handsome collection to that end was taken up at the close, and in- timation was given that a canvas of this town would be made for personal contributions. It was stated in the lecture that, When canvassed before, Wingham surpassed any other town of equal population, and• the hope was ex- pressed that it would continue to hold that worthy emminence. • Junior Matriculation Results.

The Goderich and Wingham lacrosse teams played 4 good league game on the Town Par on Wednesday afternoon ast before a ood crowd of spectators. During the fir t five minutes play the Goderich boys scored three goals and it looked as t Pugh the visitors would have ea waik peer. Before half time Goderich boys °scored another goal and Wingham boysi scored one goal. In the last half some good lacrosse was played and Wingham scored five goals, thus winning the game by a score of six to four. Referee Kinder gave good satis- faction. The Wingham players were: - Goal, Knechtel; point, Gurney; cover - point, H. Mc • ean; first defence, C. Hanna; secon defence, F. McLean; third defence, W. McCoy; centre, Van- wyck; third hqtne, W. Elliott: second home, D. Holmes; first home, C. Mc- Lean; inside hime, T. Elliott; outside home, E, Groves. The Goderich Star in reporting the game says: -In the first half Godrich piayed rings around their oppone'ts, scoring three goals, while the Winhamites failed to land any, and it certainly looked rosy for Goderich. hat just the same as a horse race or the weather, lacrosse is uncertain, and in spite of all the "rooters" conic] do the Winghamites came back in the second half and played the Goderich twelve off their feet, scoring 6 goal ' to 1, the score at the finish standin 6 t 4 in favor of the Northerners. The contest was a good exhibition of Canada's National game, and we are informed both teams played clean lacrosse. 1 Field Crop Competition. Mr. P. 0.

The Good Time. I put a mortgage on my home, to bny a motor car, and now all joyously I roam on rural roads afar. I take the children and the wife, and scour the countryside; I'm bound to lead a merry life and let all business slide. We pass the poorhouse as we race, and wearily my frau remarks: "Alas! that dismal place! It's where we're headingnow!' I go in debt for gasoline, and this and that repair; hut, oh, the country's bright and green, and I am happy there! We pass the poorhouse as we scoop. and wife she says to me: "Oh, mo' it well my dear galoot-that's why • we'll shortly be!" I used to deal .a earthern jars and made all sorts of chink; but now the chugging motor car is all of which I think, The clerks con- duct my little storey and when I am away, take their ceats and lock the door, and fishing go, folk say. But merrily my good car spins, and on the poorhouse grass the paupers stroke their chins, and hail me as I pass] -Walt Mason. Big Half Price Sale. Mr. 3. K.

The success of apple growing as an industry depends to a great extent on the securing of a good market. It is no uncommon occurrence almost every fall for great quantities of apples to lie about under the trees to rot or to be fed to hogs because no good market is accessible, While the; fruit is thus going to waste there are thousands of householders, more especially in the Prairie Provinces, tha are longing fc:r fresh fruit of a sort thiat can be stored and drawn upon during the winter months. The difficult' of the one class is to reach buyers for the fruit and of the others to find a supply at a moder- ate price. To bridge the gulf that sep- arates these two classes. and thereby do both an invaluable service. the Dairy and Cold Storage i'onlmissioner has is- sued a list of the wholesale and retail apple dealers in Manitoba, Saskatche- wan, Alberta and sections of New On- tario whose addresses were available. These, which number about 275 dealers and firms, with few exceptions are said to be in a position to buy at ]east one carload of fruit. This information is eve in Circular Dairy given C cu ar No. 8 of the I airy and Cold Storage Ilrancb, copies of which may be secured free from the Publications Branch of the Department of Agricult:ire, at Ottawa.
