Canadian progress to -day 1n altlines attests magnificently to the splen- did qualities of thrift tthat.have nark- ed the farmers in all the provinces. The total returns from.field crops andanimal produce have beep only possi-bre because of the dispositions to make use in an economical way of all the woiderfut gifts of Providence in oris good land ofours.The sante was abundantly true after 1870 in France when the frugal, thrif- ty farmers.of that fair land made it possible for the Republic to pea off that hated war indemnity of two bit - lion frances levied against then, The same spirit of national thrift built up France for the extreme test to -day -a test.that is being tried by fire,Thanks be French heroism is prowing true. The line is holding. The blood of the farmers is flowing equally as well through the veins of France's daughters of the soil and so the nation- al strength bends but doesnot break, •Canticle is reaping her harvests of increased returns and looney is be- ing made as never before. Our far- mers are earning the gratitude of all in their splendid efforts at production. Thatthey will carry into their savingsan equal foresight in conserving their surpluses against the future days of darkness and lower prices will be equally praiseworthy.

Technical men say that one-hundredth inch of soot has the sane resisting power to heat that ten inches of iron have. Soot - coverings on the interior of stoves and furnaces mean, therefore, waste of fuel and waste of money. Everycoal purchaser will find it to his interest to clean sfnves and, furnaces. At the same time his work will be a patriotic service; he will, be saving. fuel for war industries and war transportation. The Fuel Administration urges also that •cellar furnace pipes be' examined for leaks. The piping should be close- ly: connected so that no heat may es- cape .through leaks or cracks, An magmatic damper, installed in the chimney pipe is an excellent coal= saver. This damper is controlled by the draft, and saves coal by prevent - •TH.E G ..INT N N:EW ing too vigoronsa.Are, Don't wait un, 'I HI the last minute, when the fires Hest be started. Now.

Ten'Coaf Saying Suggestions Here are ,fen suggestions which the geuernlcommittee of U. S. anthracite ajterators say's, will result in a saving of 500,000 •tons of anthracite during the coming whiter if, they follow then; First -Start the furnace and kitchen range fires as .Ilaas los i le, Forget the first few cool faldays, Put up with a little discomfort and remember that the Goys "over there" daily face the weather with smiling face. Second : •Raise window ourtains dur- ing the day to admit sunlight, for that is free heat. Dispense with awnings, as they shut -out the sun, Third. -Weather-strip all doors and windows and, put asbestos around all furnaces, boilers and cellar pipes used for heating purposes, Fourth -Reduce the home tempera- ture to sixty-seven degress.. Do not wait until the mercury shows seventy- four degrees before closing drafts, By this time that extra amount of coat will have been consumed and wasted. Fifth -Bedrooms, where windows are opened for the night or otherwise should be shut off from heat, Use blankets and feel better in the morn- ing, Sixth -Wear heavier clothing, This materially saves body heat, Seventh -Thoroughly clean soot from pipes and boilers and do not mind doing a little work in the cellar, seeing that window panes are tight and weather-stripped like the other parts of the house, Eighth -Burn oil, wood, coke and bituminous when possible. Use gas for cooking and heating. Gas lighting at night side in heating the home, store and building where used. Ninth -Use heavy draperies on doors and windows for interior home decoration. This aids in husbanding interior heat supply. Tenth --Remember you are not fight- ing in a trench exposed to all kinds of weather. Your men are and have become hardeoed by contact with the back -to -nature idea. They are also healthier and more robust. Use "Buckwheat" and Save Coal How places using the larger sized heating plants, such as schools, churches and apartment houses, can help the coal situation this winter, when Canada will have to• get along with much less than the normal sup- ply of anthracite, wsrs explained in an interview by Mr, C. A. Magrath, the Dominion Fuel Controller, "It has been demonstrated that in using stove or larger sizes of anthra- cite coal in the larger sizes of heat- , ing plants, whether they are hot air, or low pressure steam, or hot water, it is not only possible, but it is bene- ficial, to use a proportion of No. 1 buckwheat," said Mr. Magrath. "In some cases involving the use of egg and broken coal it has been found that as high as 50 percent, can be used to the hest sort of advantage, "The No. 1 buckwheat is used as a top dressing over the body of the larger size of coal during the moder- ate weather of the first and last por- tions of the wiinter, and during the nicht in all weather except in the most extreme. This top dressing No: 1 buckwheat tends to hold the draught, and to aid in the proper ;tit economic combustion of the coal body as a whole. These places, by this scheme, should take 25 per cent. of their total fuel ,requirements in No 1 buckwheat. 11 must, of course be kept separate from the larger size, and should not be used as a mix- ture, but as a top dressing." Mr, Magrath said a further advan- tage is that such use conserves do- mestic sizes for the householder and for purely domestic consumption. ' Continuing, the Fuel Controller said; "1 have in niy cellar a fair percen- tage of my year's needs of soft coal, because 1 know 'Canada will. not re- veii'e a full supply of anthracite. The soft coal I can either unix with the hard coal, or use it by itself until Christmas, and then again as spring - is . approsiching. if necessity should demand. f could use it throughout the entire- winter, and keep any family comfortably warm. It would be well if every person put a percentage of soft cOal in his cellar. SERVICE We cordially invite you to our Garage where we are specially equipped to extend prompt and efficient Service.

John Barleycorn Forced To Retreat The Executive Committee of the Huron County Temperance Alliance are of the opinion that the present method of regulating the sale of liquor by vendors is very defective. They claim that the vendors are pushing their business with the doctors and in- forming then, concerning methods by which liquor can be secured. The vendors apparently are not familiar with the law as it apps?lies to Canada Temperance Counties and they have been notified that if further shipments are sent into Huron County contrary to our law, prosecution will follow. The doctors and, express agents are al- so liable to prosecution if they violate the law by giving requisitions, and de- livering shipments. Liquor and alco- hol can be secured in 'J, T. A. Coun- ties only through a druggist on a doctors prescription, and the doctor must only prescribe what is considered absolutely necessary at the time the prescription is given, and the quantity must not exceed len ounces, High Cost In England Mr, Ransford has just received the following list of household necessities of lite, from England Beef 48c per Ib, Muttnn 43c per Ib, Honey 60c per Ib.

It is a great mistake for, such sufferers and those with bad complex- ions to smear themselves with greasy ointments. Often they could not do anythings worse, for the grease clogs the pores of the troubled skin and their condition actually becomes much worse. When there are pimples or erup- tions, or an irritating or Itching rash, a soothing boracic solution may help to allay the irritation, hut of course that does riot cure the trouble. Skin complaints conte frons an impure con- dition of the blood and will persist un til the blond is thoroughly purified, It is well known that Dr. . Williams' Pink Pills have effected the best re- sults in nsaisy forms of skin disorders and blemishes, This is due to the fact that these pills make new, rich blood, and that this new blood attacks the impurities that give rise to skin troubles and disperses them;' so that Dr Williams' Pink Pills cure skin dim orders from within the .system -the only sure way, it should he added that Dr, Williams' Pink Pills have a beneiidal effect upon the general health. They increase the appetite and energy and cure diseases that rises from impure blood, . You can get these pills through any niedlcine,dealer or by mail at 50 cents a box Or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr, Williains' Medicine CO3, Brockville, (Int, When you meet velth an socident -a cut, a barn, a sold or a bruise -don't isP oadr+ y,needlessly to doctor's hills, but apply Zatn-Shit at onee. This herbal balsa will edd the pain, stop the bleediag, prevent festering and heal quickly, Keep a box handy, For akin troubles Zani-Buk is equally invaluable.

LOCAL MERCHANTS MUST COUNTERATTACK (Owen Sound Advertiser) Nine tons of catalogues! These were part of what one of the express companies had to handle in last night's conslgnmeiiit, Nine tons of them=eighteen thousand pounds - and all from one Departmental store in Toronto. The nine tons were for Owen Sound and surrounding dis- trict; but over two tons and' a half- 5,600 pounds ,to be, exact -were for the . town itself, Here's some food for thought in is a mass Of advertisingliterature unloaded upon the people of title town and vicinity at a time when there is not match doing, but when summer is 'far enough advanc- ed ro cause the average man and wo- man to think a little of what will be needed ,for Fall, Plenty, of time to look over the catalogue, see some- thing that is needed -or thought . to be needed, for the catalogue is. a blank is right there waiting to be filled nut, Natural result, business sent to Torun() and lost to the local merchant, unless he takes action against it. And how can he do that? Easy; the answer is ' right at his hand. How are tine big Departmental stores getting their business? By advertising. In newspapers, by cata- logues, every way that they can make profitable The catalogues do not represent their only means of ad- vertising; but when a store finds it pays to send five thousand pounds of catalogues into one tows, wouldn't it pay the merchant who lives in that town to invest a little in keeping the business and the money at home? We don't need to answer that question; it answers itself. The de- partmental stores makes its money by advertising and value -giving. The local merchant can compete with the Toronto house in the latter, but to hold the trade, ire must use the form- er as welt And he can't afford to sit and wait •till the damage is done.. The time to tackle potato bugs is not after they have eaten the plants but as soon as they appear. So the time to tackle the outside departmental store is not after the catalogues have been checked over and the orders sent, but before, so that the buyers can see that their fellow -citizen can do as well for them, or better, OLD HURON COUNTY BOY CIVIL S.
