To the Mayor and Councillors Town of Clinton Gentleman: Herewith you will find the annual reports of the Hy- dro and Waterworks Departments of the Public Utilities Commission for the year 1920 You will notice there is an over- draft in the Waterworks Capital account amounting to 31324.48. This overdraft has been paid out of the Maintenance account, ,and we ask you to kindly pass a Debenture to cover the amount. • The 2 wells have done good ser- vice this year and there has been no apparent shortage of water. We still think you would do well if you would take into your consideration the sinking of another well, as a shortage of water in our Town would be a calamity, as the old house wells are getting less each year and the citizens are depending on our Water- works wells more and more each year, as the water is good, end ev- eryone wants it.

Mrs. F. X. Gauthier, Tilbury, Ont,, writes: -"During 25 years past I was greatly troubled with palpitation of the heart, and sometimes so much so that those around me thought I would die at any moment, being so much weakened by the sharpness of the palpitation which would last sometimes up to three hours. I had the doctor who kept me., taking his medicine to overcome the diseaee, but to no effect. There was no change at all for the bettor. Two years ago a friend advised me to use Milburn's Heart and Nerve Pills, I began to use them at once, and et the eecond box I began to feel some relief, so I continued to use them according to directions, and now I am pegfently well. Before using the pillet I never weighed 100 pounds, now I weigh 117and feel as if I were young although I am over 66 years of age." Milburn's Heart and Nerve Pills are 50c. a box at all dealers, or mailed direct on receipt of _price by The T. Milburn Co., Limited, Toronto, Ont. Thursday, Ap('jl 71h, 1924,. .: OF STRPHEN LEACOCK A few years ago Dr, Stephen Leacock was asked by the editor of a magazine for a 'few biographical details Concern ing himself, The ,following . characteris- tic contribution Was, his reply: - 1 was born at Swanmoor, Haunts, England, on December 30, 1869, I am not *ware that there was any particular conjunction of the planets at the time, but should think it extremely likly. My parents migrated to 'Canada in 1876, and my father took up a farm near Lake Sincoe, in, Ontario, This was during the hard Hines of Canadian farming, and my father was just able by great diligence to pay the wages of the lilted men, and in years of plenty, to raise enough grain to have seed for the next year's crop without buying any. By this process my brothers and 1 -were inevitably driven off the land and have become profess- ors, business men, engineers, instead of being able to grow up as farm labor- ers. Yet I saw enough of farming to speak exuberantly in political addresses of the joy of early rising and the deep sleep, both of body and intellect, that is induced by honest manual toil, I was educated at Upper Canada, Col- lege, Toronto, of which school I was head boy in 1887. From there 1 went to the University of Toronto, where I graduated in 1891. At the University I spent my entire time in the acgdlsit- ion of languages, living, dead, and half- dead and knew nothing of the outside world. In this diligent pursuit of words 1 spent about sixteen hours of each day. Very soon after graduation 1 had forgot ten the languages and found myself in- tellectually bankrupt. In other words, 1 was what is called al distinguished grad- uate and as suck, 1 took to school teach ing as the only trade 1 could find that needed neither experience nor intellect. I spent my time from 4891 tof899 on the staff of Upper Canada College, an experience which has left ale with a profound sympathy for the many gifted and brilliant men who are compelled to spend their lives in the most dreary the' most thankless and the worst paid profession in the world. 1 have noted that of my pupils those who seethed the laziest and the least enamoured of books are now rising to positions of prominence at the bar, in business,and in public life; the really promising boys who took all the prizes, are now able with difficulty to earn the wages of a clerk in a summer hotel or a deck hand on a canal boat. In 1399 'i gave up school teaching in disgust borrowed enough monrey to live upon for a few months and went to University of Chicago to study econ- omics and political science, 1 was soon appointed to a Fellowship in Political Economy, and by means of this and some tempory employment by •Mc- Gill University, I survived Lentil I took the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in 1903. The memning of this degree is that tine recipient of instruction is ex. amend for the last time in his life and is pronounced completely Will. After this no new ideas can be imparted to 11in1. From this time I have belonged to the staff of McGill University, first as a lecturer in Political science. As this position Is one of the prizes of my pro- fession, i ala able to regard myself as singularly fortunate. The emolument is s0 high as to place. me distinctly above the policemen, postmen, street car con- ductors tend other salaried officials of the neighborhood while i am able to with the poorer of the business men of th e city on terms of something like equality. in point of leisure I enjoy more in .the four corners of a single year than a business man knows in his ABSTRACT STATEMENT OF RE- CEPITS AND EXPENDITURES OF CLINTON COLLEGIATE INSTITUTE RECEIPTS For year ending December 31, 1920.

I have used them for my batty and would use nothing else." What Mrs, Lefe- byre.says thousands of other mot- hers say. They have found by trial that the Tablets always do just what is claimed for them, The Tablets are a mild but thorough laxative which regulate the bowels and sweeten the stomach and thus banish indigestion, constipation, colds, colic, etc. They are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ontario.

Being the property of the Lord, the Christian's motto 10, '"Whether therefore ye eat or drink, or wliuteo- ever ye do, du all t0 the glory of God (I Cor, 10:31).-"Ifoliness unto the Lord" ought to be written over our bodies. 3, The Christian's body has been bought (v. 20). Tlne price paid to re- deem the body wart the precious blood of Christ (I Peter 1: 18, 19). We esti- mate things by what they cost. When we estimate our bottles in that light we will be very jealous of their purity. Guarding our health is part of our re- iIglon. Il, -Keeping the Body Under Con. trot (1 Cor, 9: 24-27), The Christ'ian's life is more than mere existeuce, there is something to do -to be accomplished. 1, it is a race (vv. 24, 26). In order to win a prize there must be self. -de- nial and definite exertion. The Chris- tian obtains life by contact with Jesus Christ through faith (John 3:16; 3:30; 5:24). This he possesses before he'cfu1 begin the- race. While he gets salva- tion (life) at the beginning, God places before him definite rewards as incent- ives to exertion. The Christian be- lieves to get life, but works for re- wards. In the Olympian games only one could hope to get the prize, but in the Christian race there Is a reward waiting for every oue who iliselplines himself and runs, As the racer In these games mastered tris desires end ab- stained from everything which might hinder lilin to will the prize, so the Christian will !Intim any sacrifice to win. The prize In the Grecian games was corruptible, but the prize of the Christian Is incorruptible. If the heathen would prnctiee 'such self-de- nial regardless of its pain for n gar- land of pine leaves, shall not the Chris- tian turn from bodily Indulgences of every kind so as to obtain the crown of righteousness which fadelh not away? 2.
