" Thousands upon thousands of men have met untimely deaths during the past four years; never has the love of horse and country called for such a sacrifice. Patriotism does not begin nor end with war. . We cannot all Serve on the battlefield—but we can be as truly patriotic in looping after the welfare of otir countrymen 'here at home. There is an enemy in our midst— consumption. Lurking in unsuspect- ed places, it seeks but a foothold to drag its victims down to death. Surely it is a true test of love of country to devote our energies and our means toward§ exterminating such a foe. es We have just learned of a family, once quite comfortable, now in the grip of poverty and misery, The father developed consumption; after a lingering illness that exhausted their savings,' he died, leaving the mother and four little ones -penniless —worse still, all the children have contracted 'the same disease, This MO Is not exceptional, family after family is suffering a similar fate. The ',Muskoka Free Rospital tor Consumptives -- the pioneer in the war against the Great White Plague —needs your active help to carry on its work. • Consumption can be cured if taken in time. Must the fight be lost for lack of funds? e Gifte may he sent to Sir William J.

In 1833 he was born in 'Richmond township and for the greater portion of his life he lived in Hungerford township, For the past fourteen years he had resid- ed in Belleville. lie was married to Mrs. Lansing, who survives, over sixty years ago. He had been for years a member of the Methodist church, being identified with the Tab- ernacle church.- He was a gentleman well known and highly respected. Ono son and three daughters also survive: Reuben of Stirling and Mrs. Ryerson Badg]ey, Melrose ; stirs. John Phill- ips, Londesboro, and Mrs. Daniel Phillips, Thurlow." Goderich Township Messrs. N. W. Trewartha and 0. Ginn are spoken of as likely Candi- dates for the reeveship at the coming municipal election. Several other names were mentioned but we be- lieve the candidates have narrowed down to the above two. Reeve Lobb having. decided last year that, lie would not enter the contest again there was bound to be a change this election and either of the above named gentlemen would no doubt make a good representative. 111x, Trewartha has always taken a keen interest in municipal affairs. He fill- ed very worthily and satisfactorily the position of township cleric for nearly eight years and should he be elected reeve would make, being en- ergetic, business lute and endowed with good judgment, a very worthy representative, indeed. There will also be a keen contest for seats at the council table but just how many will run will not be known until nomination day. A Christmas tree entertainment will be given in connection with the Sunday school of St. James' church, Middleton, ou Monday evening next. A program is being prepated and all ate invited to attend.

Stories, articles, special departments are good of their kind and the magazine is well illustrated throughout "Birdland Reflections from an Old Camera" by Bonnycas- tle Dale ; "The Open Places" by R. C. Fraser ; "Snowbound Flills" by FI. C. Haddon ; "How Christmas Comes in the Northland" by Harry Laughy ; "A December Afternoon with Buster" by Reginald Gourley are some of the stories, while an 'ar- ticle on the making of skis fully il- lustrated, Fishing Notes including an article on "Facts about Cotton Threading" and Guns and Ammuni- tion with more dope for the gun crank, and material of interest to the trapper, are some of the other features. Rod and Gun is published by W. J. Taylor Limited, Wood- stock, Ont. The Bank of FIamilton has opened a branch at Bhievade. i M The of ask to IP workers a s � ileo the following letter which ox - plains itself We have now received definite in- struotions from headquarters 10 'To- mato to stop all work on regular Roel Cross supplies until the and of January, 1019, in order to devote all Our energies to the making and ship- ping of .clothing for the use of re- patrlated refugees in allied countries; The emergency appeal for this work Mitch we have receeted• from head- quarters says in part : "The recent allied victories in all parts of the world have resulted in the return of hundreds of persons, women, children, old men and crip- ples, to their homes in countries re- cently occupied and devastated by the Germans, . , , Col. Blaylock, chief commissioner. :overseas, has cabled, proposing that the °Society should undertake the preparation and transportation of clothing for re- fugees, mon, women and children. This appeal is now laid before the branches In the hope that they . will respond generously during December and January. This work is not out- side the sphe-re of the Red Cross, as its scope was recently defined by Sir Frederick Treves, of the British Teed Cross, as extending to "any non- combatant suffering as the result of war." This Red Cross appeal will not overlap the work of the Secours National or Belgian relief. It is ov- er and above the splendid work of these societies, not instead 01 it. It is using the machinery of the Tied Cross for three months, both in Can- ada and overseas, for the supply, transportation and distribution of goods for which a sudden and most urgent need has arisen." We shall be very grateful if your circle will help us in this gigantie task and shall be glad to send sam- ples and cut-out garments at cost to you as soon as we hear from you. No secondhand clothing is to be sent, The signing of the armistice has brought an end to the work of the C.W,C.A., as there is a sufficient supply overseas of the clothing and woolen comforts hitherto provided for the troops by this society. Yours truly, LILLIAN BECK, President LORNA HARRIS, Hon. Cor. Sec. t GET TIIE MOST OUT OF YOUR FOOD The digestive organs absolutely need the influence of pure blood for the proper performance of their func- tions. Persons that sleep in small, ill -ventilated rooms complain of lit- tle or no appetite in the morning and of disagreeable dryuess of the mo 1 and throat. Why ? Because, as result of breathing air that is im- pure, their blood is impure and fails to give their digestive organs the stimulus they must have for perfect work. Itis necessary that we sbuuld have pure blood if we get rill the good out of what we eat that there is in it and to get it comfortably. Hood's Sarsaparilla is distinguished for making pure, rich, -'talized blood, perfecting the digestion and building up the whole system. Cot it today.
