May Not Wear Uniform.
Attentlln...is again called in camp or-
ders to the regulation issued in The
Canadian Gazette on January 12, which
says: "No employee of the militia de-
partment paid and rated as a civilian is
permitted to wear uniform. Only offi-
cers and other ranks who are called out
on military duty and are paid as Such
are permitted to wear uniform."
Why February is So Short
hianv people wonder why February
should have only 28 day's. It original-
ly hed 30, but when the name of the
month of August was changed from
S,-..
tatth t August, u tenor 1'Em Emperor
s o s u
1,l o r
Augustus, it was considered that a
month so greatly honored should be
given an extra day. At the same time
people felt it would be hardly fitting
to lengthen this month and not
lengthen the month of July, which
was maned after the mighty Julias
Censer. Therefore it was decided
to 1011g then both months, and two days
were taken from February to do this,
Lots of Sugar Beet Seed.
Growers of sugar beets who ware
alarmed by reports regarding scarcity
of seed, have been advised that they
need not worry. The Dominion Sug-
ar Company, which controls the fac-
tories at Wallaceburg, Chatham and
Kitchener, purchaed seed enough
iast rear fmm Russia and. Italy to
meet the requirements of growers for
three years. It is estimated that be -
30 000 re of
be-
tween 20,000 and 3 acres veer
sugar bees will be planted in Essex,
Lambton and Kent this year.
More Calls 'Sent Out.
Deputy Registrar Wismar, of London
sent out registered letters to Class A
men in thismilitary district, calling
on
them to report on one of four
days,
February 25, 26, 27, or 28, fur service
in the army. The men will conse-
quently come in batches of 200 on each
of the above dates. These sten are
among those whose exemption claims
have.beee refused, Close to /,DUO ex-
emption appeals remain to be heard
by Justice Duff, the central appeal
Judge at Ottawa. As each case is de-
i.itiLd the 'appellants will be notified, if

Would Your Absence Alarm?-
(Iver in Ripley a certain man was
such a regular attendant at church
that the sight of his seat vacant
caused an alarm, and, knowing that
he lived alone, the pastor and the
sexton hurried to his home aid found
him lying on the fluor unconscious

nick of time, which shows that con-
stant attendance at worship does
Rave a loan, for had he not belonged

Clinton would have been rescued
under similiar circumstances? Not
over a thousand, we persume. in

be suspected of haying coal, so the
preachers Wouldn't be alarmed on
that score, while of the other half so
fete go to church regularly that they
wouldn't ring the fire -bell if they
failed to report. If there is site man,
however, to 'Clinton that the

Controller's Office has issued over 45
licenses of breakfast food, 600 licenses
to fruit and vegetable dealers, and 750

ed from nearly 60% of the wholesale

Watch What You Handle,
Miss Eleanor, daughter of A. E.
Sutherland, of Glencoe Transcript, had
both her hands severely burned and
rendered unconscious. She was press-
ing a switch button with one hand
bile the other hand n a

radiator, causing a ground current.
Two lingers were burned to the bone.
Wood in Coal Furnaces.
When wood is to be burned in a
furnace intended for coal it will be
found desirable to partly cover the
grate with iron or fare -bricks, in order
to reduce the draft. if this is not
done the wood is wasted by being
consumed too fast and makes a hot
fire which in a furnace may damage the
fire box.
Letters to Enemy Countries,
The Deputy Postmaster -General
announces that letters to persons in
captivity in enemy countries may be

real. Letters must be sent in open
envelopes enclosed in another enve-
lope addressed to the above company.
They must be accompanied by a postal
order for 25 cents to cover cost of
transportation and reply.
Why Coal is .Scarce.
Walkerton Telescope: -Shortage of
cars is entirely to blame for the coal
shortage, according to a letter received
by Rev. C, W. Cosens last week from a
cousin, who is a mining engineer f0 the
anthracite district in Pennsylvania. He
States that times are very dull with
many of the coalers who have quit
taking out coal, simply because they
can't get freight cars to haul it,
Pay Your Small Bills.
The prompt payment of accounts,
particularly small drills, which are
most likely to be overlooked or ne-
glected, is strongly urged, in support
of this counsel the Bowmanville Re-
view tells of a druggist in a nearby
town who recently brought a young
married man his bill, which was two
years old, in the first part of the bill
was a charge for a box of chocolates,
and on the other end was a charge for
a nursing bottle.

Schools for Women.
The Ontario Department of Agricul-
ture will open 3 schools .next month
to teach the young women of the Uni-
versities, who have done well on the
fruit farms, to milk and drive wagons
in the hayfields, but they are not to be
permitted to pitch hay. This Depart-
ment plans also to provide 2.500 gangs
of men to thresh and till silos, so that
the farmers may be free to prepare the
land for the crop of 1919.
Cheap Divorce for Soldiers.
Returned soldiers whose wives
have proven faithless in their absence
are to be facilitated in seeking relief
which the haw allows by way of di-
vorce. Among the principal items of
cost in divorce proceedings is a $200
fee which has to be paid to the clerk
of the Senate, in the case of re-
turned soldiers it is purposed to re-
mit this along with certain other in-
cidentals. There is promise of a num-
ber of such cases.
No Leniency For Officers
in future no leniency will be shown
toward officers who fail to comply
with Military regulations In arses
where the conduct of the officer war-
rants, he will be placed under arrest
under the charge of a guard, picket,
patrol, or sentry, acccording to a
communication received in London,
(int., from headquarters. The of-
fences specially mentioned in order
are: Failure to comply with dress re-
gulations, failure to salute officers of
field rank and upwards, neglect of
officers to return the salute of junior
ranks and cases of unbecoming con-
duct.
The Intermediate Pastorate.
The officials of every Methodist
church in Canada are voting this
month on the proposal to lengthen
the recognized pastoral term. Many
Methodists believe that the present
four-year limit is too short to enable
any minister in charge of a large con-
gregation, to do his best work. it
takes him two years to get his hear-
ings, says the Toronto News, There
will always be some members of his
flock with whom he will never get
acquainted -people whose shy dis-
position will prevent them from m.a r-
ing advances. Whenever a church
membership exceeds 5000, a clergy-
man should be allowed to remain at
least five years, and possibly six, if
his services continue to give satisfac-
tion. it is unlikely that the offic-
ials will favor the abolition of the
Itinerancy. The indeterminaion
pastorate has many advantages, it is
true, but most Methodists hold that
forced change i
the pian of ft r d ge g ves the
minister a broader experience and the
congregation the s
timuluS

RETURN OF SOLDIERS'
PERSONAL EFFECTS.
Ottawa, Feb, 13.-Dtnln , with the
system by which personal effects of
deceased Canadian soldiers are return-
ed to Canada, It militia department
memorandum says that these personal
articles are collected by the unit in
which the nun served and forwarded as
quickly as possible to the authorities
in England. When received in Eng-
land, they are checked and sent to
Canada as soon as transport is avail-
able. nlvle, h1, Canada theyforwardedare
by express to the next of kin, but tive
months usually elapse between the
time of the soldier's death and the re-
ceipt of his personal effects,
The memorandum goes on to state
that experience goes to show that
the overseas authorities cannot take
any action towards ds fne[1y disposing
g
of an estate until some months after
an officer or man is officially re-
ported to have died.
Have the "Extract "Habit
Since prohibition cane into force
a year and a half ago many young
fellows who apparently comic* get
along without their 'booze" have
developed the extract habit. Flavor-
ing extracts contain nearly 75 per
cent of alcohol and the sale of these
has greatly increased since Septem-
ber 16, 1916, and the nanufacturerers
have an idea that they are being taken
raw by smilers and others, Not wish-
ing to have the extracts used as a
means of evading the law the manu-
facturers took the matter up with
the license board and for some time
a committee of the nianufacturers has
been acting in co-operation with the
provincial license board in drafting a
new law to put a stop to the practice.
They have now completed a draft bill
ed to the legisla-
ture,
lh•cl1 vii e presented I
v t 1 t b 1 g
ture, It will provide that extracts
shall be. put in bottles containing not
more than two and a half ounces, that
not more than one bottle be sold to a.
person at a time and that grocers
