The car took a swift turn and bounded on the side- walk striking a lady, Mrs. Marvin, who was passing by, and forcing her through a plate glass window in Thompson's book store. Medical aid was summoned and Mrs. Marvin was speedily conveyed to her home. Her left arm was badly lacerated, the tendon being severed, and she re- ceived a severe shock, the seriousness of which has not yet been ascertained. DONT'S FOR HOT WEATHER DON'T expose yourself unnecessar- ily to the direct rays of the sun, Walk on the shady side of the street.. DON'T spend the greater part of the day watching the thermometer. DON'T hurry. If you miss ' the train, the next one will be along soon. DON"f do twice as much work as usual. When feasible, work only duringathe cooler parts of the day. The period from 1 to 4 p, m, regis- ters the highest temperature and hum- idity during the summer months. DON'T let the children play exposed to the direct rays of the sun. DO""T take infants on shopping tours. DON'T keep the bacy on the top floor of the house, if the first floor is the cooler. The temperature in the shade .outdoors is lower than the tem- perature in the. house. DON'T permit the old folk* to exert themselves during a hot spell. DON'T eat too much. Eat sparingly of meats, buttef, pastries or any oily or starchy foods. Pried substances should be omitted entirely. The diet should consist largely of nonheat producing foods, such as fruits and vegetables, DON'T eat too fast. Take your time in the mastication of food that it may berendered more easily digest- ed and thus save the body undue en- ergy. DON'T forget to drink plenty of cold water; it serves to flush out the "sewer" systems of the body, keeps them unobstructed and supplies the water of the body lost in the forth of perspiration. DON'T drink water that is ice cold. Weak tea or lemonade without sugar will lessen the thirst. DON'T forget to bathe deity. A cool plunge or shower in the morning prepares the way for an active day's work. Another cool bath before re- tiringnight induces w ic. i at g t nn u es h .h s welcome during the hot weather. DON'T wear heavy clothing for style, when lightweight and light cal -.1 ored clothing can be worn for coin - fort, DON"I' indulge in alcoholic bever- ages; if they are used to keep warm in winter, they surely cannot keep the body cool in summer. Keep the mind occupied to divert attention from the heat . Rpt YOUR VIEWS The New Era columns are open to its readers for the expression of views on all matters rf public interest.

This is on par with the old nursery rhyme "when the cow Jumped over the moos" if a veal can , command that price, New oats on Same Westerly Ontario markets is opening at 75c,per bushel. that's a fairly gaol recommend for the use 01 the tin Lizzie. ---0— The constant occurrence of serious I accidents from runaway horses on the farm shows the need of greater watch- fulness and the folly of getting in front of a big team with much prospect of stopping then. Life is of too much import to take such chances. Rubber shortage in the markets of VOIONISIVI .rcagrEP S .._._.ems the world is causing uneasiness.

Combine , often throttle what would be an un e doubted good if the gamesters wer s excluded. Seems to be a big chore to fence out grasp and greed by law. ___._0 Jess, Willard offering to box Jack Dempsey for the Benefit of the Salva- tion Army at Chicago is one of the rankest travesties on the work of that e organization and the police did a most sensible thing when it barred the way. moth Century civilization surely has some higher and holier ideals than a prize fight to attain its goal. would it be to arrange for the extract ion to be found in the necks of th fellows who are too prdud to fight an too lazy to work. --0— Kissing bugs are proving trouble spine in some places but •the Seafortl girls refuse to take the hint and th Goderich damsels pucker up their lip and say "trot on your bug." —0— Some localities complain of a slump in Red 'Cross work but old Huron County should Mot allow itself to grow weary in well doing. This is the last year of the war so let se continu to hustle. a s e ---0---- Canucks have not been slow in their willingness to back up the boys over- seas. In airplanes 350 machines per month is now the output. Some say the mission of these "birds" is Ger- many. Hurrah for the Canucks on land, sea -or in the air, we believe every man will do his duty. 215,000 persons are 1105' employed in Canhdian shell OF COURSE YOU HAVE MET TIIS KAISERITE HE IS TO BE FOUND ALL OVER CANADA AND THE UNITED STATES You find him in hotel lobies smoking, compartments, club offi- ces and even in homes. He thinks its clever to repeat "inside facts" about the war. He is a scandal- monger of the most dangerous type, But if you pin him down, if you ask him what he really knows at first hand, he becomes vague, non -Committal, slippery, He tries to .make you think that the Government can fool you, if you are willing to let It—but it can't fool him, No, sireel He's too smart, ---0— People like that are hurting your country every day. They are playing the Kaiser's game. They are fighting against this country. They are making it harder to win the war. Through their vanity or cu- riosity or treason they are help- ing German propagandists to sow the seeds 4)1 discontent, For every lie that has been traced orginated with a Germain spy. Don't forget that, There was the one about the President's secretary. It was said, and said again and spread broadcast, that Mr. 'remedy was convicted of treason and shot at Port Leavenworth, That lie . was easily scotched by a public state- ment iron) Mr, Tunnuity himself, But other lies are more in- sidious -•-harder lo down, in au - other paragraph ,some of them are told.

That tMs is "a rich man's war" or "a business man's war." That farmers are profiteer- ing. That nine American war- ships were sunk in a disast., rous engagement in the North Sea This little book describes the methode of Germans here and quotes 101 lies that have been nailed by a newspaper which took the trouble to run them down, —0 -- Get in the fight to stamp out this malicious slander, As you travel', about the country or even ' in your social life at hone, run down these lies. 'Call the bluff of anyone who says he has "inside information," Tell hien that it's his patriotic duty to help you find the source of what he's saying, If you tied a disloyal person in your search give this name to the Department to Justice and tell them where to find Kinn, 1t is your plain, and solemn duty to • fight theenemy t home by stamping Out these lies, The above it freer the Com- mittee ort Public lnformfition, Wattl,ington, It applies to Can- ada ee it does to the United States. —0— Stratford, proved the interest he took in the Baptist church was not transit- ory as his bequest of $21,000 to the Baptist church of Canada shows. Total value of estate was 1.266,000. tie was not a grudging giver. ---0-- Sometimes a man's will, in the divi- sion of his property, is best proof of the size of his head and heart, le this respect the late George McLagan, of Ireland's 1•lome Rule question is still an unsolved problem, There are some people who really do not know what to ask wizen they are given the op- portunity to answer their own prayers. The Emerald Isle would stand in a better light if unitedly they rallied to the aid of the Empire lust now and left the solution of Home Rule wrang- les and tangles until the Kaiser has been taught the lesson he must learn. ---0— instead of an odd submarine playing hob with American and Canadian ship- ping off our coasts 'the sea would be full of these snipers if it were not for the faithful service rendered by the British sea dogs. The Kaiser is pro- mising to give the call to his fleet to meet John Buil but the past engage- ments have not been much of an in- ducement and the Keil Canal is a elder place to keep their cruisers a- float. In the midst of some fellows doing their best to dodge military duty the role played by John Ward, a negro of North 'Carolina, 1001115 large, The story says he has 13 sons out of a fam- ily of 18 in the U.
