Wm. Wood, aged 74, a pioneer of

failure last Friday at his home on the

and died on the farts which be helped
to clear in 1840. Five sons, James,
Joseph, John, William, of Morning -
ton and one sister, Mrs, T. P. Martin,
of McGregor, Man„ survive. The
funeral was held to Fairview ceme-
tery, Listowel, on Monday afternoon.
SUDDEN DEATH.— At six o'clock
Monday evening, the death occurred
of Mrs. A. Bailey, aged 58, who had
been taken with convulsions shortly
after noon as a result of acute kidney
trouble. Mrs. Bailey had been in ap-
parent good health during the earlier
part of the day, having done a large
washing and canned some fruit. Her
husband is caretaker of the tppostoffice
and they resided in the Postoffiee
building. Just after I o'clock neigh-
bors heard her call for help and Mrs,
Maloney and James Tremain rushed
to the postoffics, and found the un-
fortunate lady in a state of collapse.
When medical aid arrived life was
extinct. Mrs. Bailey is survived by 5
sons and .3 daughters, Frank, of
Vonden, Sask. ; William, of Dowans-
down ; George, of Clinton ; and
Harry ; Mrs. Thomas Bulmer, ` of
Wallenstein ; Mrs. T. L. Rogers, of
Aylmer, and Margaret, at home.
The family had resided here for the
past 16 years. Funeral took place
Wednesday to Shipley Cemetery.
FIRE BUG AGAIN.— Two more
mysterious fires have occurred here
in the past two days and the general
opinion is that both were of incendiary
origin. It is only due to the fact that
since the firebug scare a night; watch -
num has been employed by the
municipality, that three ser more
places of business instead of part of
one were not destroyed. The watch-
man discovered a blaze in the front
part of the woodwork shop owned by
Dr. Nichol on Wallace street at an
early hour Monday morning. -The
town firemen were prompt in their
response and found that the flames
had secured a good headway in the
frame structure. Two other frame
buildings a blackemitil shop and a
paint shop stand close up to the burn-
ed building but by dint of most ef-
fective work, neither was allowed to
burn. The loss of the woodworking
shop and contents is estimated at $800
with insurance of $500, Owing to the
fact that the fire originated in the
front part of the building near where
there had been no fire for the opera-
tion of the plant, and nothing• that
might cause spontaneous combus;
Won the affair looks suspicious. An-
other dubious -looking fire occurred
just on the border of the town at 4
o'clock Sunday morning, when the
driveshed of A. G. Arnold, also on
Wallace street, burned down. Two
buggies and a large amount of farm-
ing machinery were destroyed here.
Insurance will probably cover the
loss. The cause has not been es-
tablished.

ONE DEATH EVERY FOUR HDQRS
"Consumption" the Cause
Six people die every day in Ontario
from Tuberculosis—at the rate of one
person every four hours—a total of
over 2300 deaths every year—equi-
valent to the wiping out and loss to
the community of a good sized town.
An appalling lose of life. The . pity
is that this continual sacrifice is un-
necessary. These lives, or most of
them might be saved.
Pioneer work in the Crusade against
Consumption has been done by the
National Sanitarium Association.
The hospitals at Muskoka and
Weston are to -day standing evidence
of the magnificent achievements of
the Association.
One branch of the Association work
—a free Illustrated Lecture with
seventy-five lantern views—is deliver-
ed by Rev. 3. H. Dyke, Field Secre-
tary of the Association.
This lecture will Le given on Wed-
nesday evening, 29th inst., at 8 o'-
clock, in the Town Hall, Brussels,
Ont. A collection will be taken at
the close in aid of the Muskoka Free
Hospital for Consumptives.
The lecture explains in a simple,
interesting, and complete way exactly
what the disease is, how to avoid it,
and how to treat it.
Parents especially should know bow
to protect themselves and their child-
ren. Every private individual—man,
woman, and child—is in danger and
should know how to combat it.
It is not too much to say that this
lecture has been the means of saving
many lives. It answers questions
everybody is asking. It is simplicity
itself—a child can understand.
To attend such a lecture is a privi-
lege. We heartily commend it to One
readers.
THE ARMY WORM
On account of the crops in some
districts being badly attacked by this
pest. it is advisable for every farmer
to be on the lookout and ready to
combat it if it comes his way.
The Army worm is about one and
one-half inches long when full grown
and is striped with black, yellow and •
green of a dingy appearance and much
resembling the out worm. When de-
tected, all efforts should be centred on
keeping the worms out of crops not
yet attacked. A deep furrow, sever-
al furrows are better, ploughed around
the fields with the vertical or steep
side of the furrow next to the crop to
be protected, serves as a barrier to
prevent the march of the worms, as
they will not be able to crawl up the
straight side of the furrow. Holes or
pits should be dug in the hottom of
the furrow every ten or 12 feet to
catch the worms as they crawl along
looking for a place to get out. They
can then be destroyed with a blunt
stick or burning straw over them.
By thoroughly spraying or dusting
a small strip of the crop in advance of
the worms with Paris green and
liberally distributing poisoned bran,
mixed at the rate of fifty pounds bran
and one pound Paris green with
enough neolassesand water to sweeten
it, large numbers may be destroyed.
A field so poisonedmust not be paetur-
ed until rain has thoroughly washed
it. Whatever is done must be done
quickly and at once for a single day's
delay may often mean the ruin of a
valuable crop,
