Feed is very scarce and it bas been solid winter weather slice Oct. 21st. Stock having a hard time to 'paw' their living as the snow is very deep." Another subscriber at Fort Fran- cis, writes: "We are having a love- ly winter, but cold. The mercury for the _lost part runs between thirty and forty degrees below." Here in Huron County we are in; dined to think we have had pretty severe weather this winter but the thermometer has seldom registered more than twenty below and that only for a few hours at a time. Our cattle are warmly and snugly housed in stone stables, fed at regular in- tervals and many of them have wat- er troughs at their side to drink from. Old Ontario isn't a bad sort of a place to live after all: TO AVOID TAKING FLU. There's sonne flu germs flying around and while it is said that the gentle things are so sensitive that they will not live outside the shelter- ing warmth of the human body, they manage to sustain life long enough to snake the journey between one body and another and so keep going. There are a few cases of flu in town n aslumberis affir lied in a d so it n the surrounding vicinity: In Toron- to it is epidermic and many deaths have resulted. It would be Well that we take what precautio ns are possible to avoid contagion. The very best preventive of any disease is a healthy body. So build up your health bywholesome food, Proper hours of rest and plenty of fresh air night and day. The following are a few rules sent out by the health authorities of De-_ troit when the flu became epidemic in that city and they sound very sens- ible: Don't let people cough, sneeze or talk in your face. Keep all unclean articles and your fingers out of your mouth, Keep away from sick people, Your fate may be in your own hands; wash them before eating. Avoid exposure and fatigue. Get a proper proportion of work, and rest. play Bat plain food. Don't lower your resistance to di- sease by upsetting. your stomach. Avoid overcrowded placessas far as possible. Keep your feet dry and your body warm. Most important of all, ]seep your fingers out of your lnouth and nose. g "' Persons 'showing the least sus- picious symptom of the disease, such as chili, headache, muscular pains, fever, backache, exhanastion, should go to bed at'otnce and send for the doctor. Have sufficient beeSlothing to keep you Warin. Pending' the arrival of the doctor, take a. laxative; take also light food, such as milk, toast, eggs anei similiar articles. have bedroom well ventilated, Allow no olio to sleep in the same room. Protect others by coughing g g or sneezing into l n temhze fs or cloths, which should be boiled or burned Stay in bed until ybtir physician tolls you it is safe to get up. It is well to stay in bed at least two or three days after you think you are Well, `DEATII.01' YOUNG WIFE. The death occurred at Windsor en Friday rlday oi. Drnra Jordan, daughter of Mrs, John Brown of Clinton, and wife of Mr, James E. Young, The cause of death was pnuenlonia, fol. lowing two ,She had been i11 nearly two weelcs and it was hoped she night pull through, She was in her twenty-sixth year. • The late Mrs. Young was very well known in Clinton, she having stayed here with her mother #s part of the, time while her husband was over- seas and while here., made many warm friends by her sweet and lov- able qualities. Much sympathy is felt for her bereaved young husband and her mother, sisters and brothers. The remains were brought to Clinton for burial and the funeral took place yesterday afternoon from the resi- dence of Mr. and Mrs. Brown: Mr. Young and his brother accompanied the remains to Clinton, CLINTON BOY MAKES GOOD. The Peterborough Examiner of Feb. 5th gives an account of a ban- quet given by the Cressman Company of 'that city to their seventy or over employees. The toast to "The Firm" was pro- posed by -Mr. Wilbur H. Ford son of Mr. J. A. Ford of Clinton, and in his reply Mr. H. W. Cressman, jun- ior member of the firm, explained that as his father would be absent from the city for a year or more a couple of new positions had been created on the staff of management, that of superintendent and assistant superintendent, acid that Mr. Ray- nor had ]leen appointed to the form- er and Mr. Ford to the latter. IIe also said some very nice things about' the young men in question, declaring that they merited the confidence re- posed in therm by the firm. Mr. Ford has been connected with this firm a comparatively short time, only leaving Clinton a couple of years ago, but long enough, evidently, for them to realize his dependableness and business ability. Old friends in Clinton congratulate hint on his promotion and wish him continued success. BORN ST. VALENTINE'S DAY. Two of Clinton's well-known citi- zens will pass new milestones along life's pathway, on Saturday, Mr. W. Cantelon, who -will celebrate his eighty-first -• birthday, and Mr: J. 'Wheatley, whose exact age is a mys- tery, except to a few of his intimate friends. But you• wouldn't believe it if he did tell you, so don't worry. Mi. Cantelon is a native of Goderich township and has spent his entre life here. About a year ago he had the misfortune to fall down his cellar steps and fracture his hip and sues that he has not been in his usual health, the win- ter weather being espec- ially hard on hien. It is honied that when the spring clays come and he can get out he Will improve, Mr. Wheatley, since retiring from the position of Chief 'of Police, is not often seen on the front street, as he devotes his tine principally to his chickens' and, in the summer; to his garden of which he usually has rea- son• to be proud, but when he sloes conte ep town he has the some cheer- ful greeting for friend and acquaint- ance, as of old. The News -Record wishes these two good citizens a happy birthday on Saturday and as many( of them as will be good for • them this side the river and a continuation of thele for many on aeot after. . WILL MEET 'V D . WEDNESDAY. The 'members of the several choirs or a goodly number of them, met in Ontaro street church after the even- ing service on Sunday and talked over the prospect of forming a Choral Society in Clinton. It was decided that a public meeting should be called for the purpose of organization and such a meeting will be held -in the Hosiery Club rooms, over the Molsons Bank, at eight,9'clock on Wednesday evening of( ext week, Everyone interested in the organ- ization of a choral soolety in Clinton, whether a member of any church choir or not, is invited to attend this meet- ings' Clinton has plenty of musical tal- ent to make up a fine choir acid if the singers ran be organized the practise would be of real benefit to them. The Rev. Dr. Pringle, mod- erator g , d erator of the General 'Assembly of the Presbyterian Church, when speaking in Clinton a couple of weeks ago, said that the choirs of Scotland sang much better -an those in this country because every child in Scot- land was taught to read music just as he was taught his letters. "If I wereilii M stet of D ue' ho d at n it tOn- tars " o added Dr. /Me e°, "I would re£nse a man or woman the right to teach nay child his •letters until he or she was capable also of teaching him the ' rudiments of music." the,- early " days of this Country, ask your father or grandfather about . it, sing= ing schools used to be estab- lished in almost every -community. They were cotnmenity social centres and its them the young people of the conntutiity were trained, well or ill accordin the i to skill of the el e 1 ulna g, itt the ant of reading tntisi5 and sing- iarg. Some stick ara organzaton would not be a bad thing even yet. That is not just the idea in naiad at pres- ent but if you are interested come out next Wednesday evening and see what can be done, Ja uary 19 I PAYMENT SLOW.

A GOOD LECTURE, The second in the series et enter- tainments of the Chautuague, Course being put on in Clinton under the auspices of the Girls' Auxiliary was a humorous lecture by Herbert Leon Cope and was given in the town hall on Friday evening. Mr. Cope is a humorist of a very pleasing style. In fact he sloes not seem to be trying to be humorous at all,—He just stands there and tells you things which snake you laugh in spite of yourself. He does not seem to be trying to "point a• moral" either, but many of his jokes carry one which comes home to his audience, also in spite of themselves. His whole lecture was Clean, wholesome and uplifting, be- sides being funny, and the large aud- ience on Friday night very much en- joyed Those who have attended the two entertamnents already given are looking forward eagerly to "ane others, as the sample has been first class.
