Sometimes we think the Judas kiss is still in vogue by the short space that intervenes before the "freeze -out" is substituted. Kissing may be all right in its legitimate place in connection with the tender relation- ships of Life but the promiscuous variety is very shoddy. ---o-- The young people of today know little of the old time joys, such as were sup- plied with the almost -out-of-date bucksaw as a calesthenic exerciser: Who would trade the bygone experience of breaking in a yoke of steers for an automobile ride of today? True there was not the speed nor the gasoline perfume about the for- mer but there was rare sport that set your blood a tingling and so aided diges- tion that the meals appeared a long dis- tance apart. What we wish to call at- tention to is the keeping up of some healthy, clean form of athletics or physi- cal exercise. Not only for the youngsters but those of more advanced years. You 'say "I get all the exercise I need." Per- haps so, but possibly many of your pow- ers are still dormant and a little relaxation from what might he somewhat humdrum would probably do you good.

MA11t -OSBALDESTON In Goderich on Wednesday, Nov 24th, Mise Nei. lie Osbaldeston to Mr. George Mair, BROADFOOT-GRAHAM-At the home of the bride's brother.in-law, James Simms, Blyth, Nov. 25th; Eleanor, youngest daughter of the late Wm. Graham of Stanley, to James Broadfoot, of Tuckersmitb, by the Rev. Mr. Turner. When the oolored pian, Booker Wash- ington, died Sunday 14th inst., aged 59 years, at his home Tukegee, Alabama, U. S., a notable personage passed off this. scene of action. His life was a heroic representation of what may be accomp- lished even under mcst adverse circum- stances. Born a slave, and with the op position often manifested by the white ince to the negro he courageously fought his way and by dint of hard work coupled with no small native talent, attained to a large degree the goal of ambition. The practical education of his colored breth ren, so that they might become imbued wtth lofty ideals of true manhood, was no small undertaking for Booker Wash ington but by word, pen and deed he has left a wonderful record that should stimu- late to earnest endeavor in many a useful and helpful avenue in life. It is not easy to tell a man what he should do and help him win out, but it is worth while, ---,- Stratford .-b- Stratford Aldermen made a great show of themselves over their action on the Local Option proposed By -Law. Men have a right to their opinions on public questions of live ietorest but the record- ing of votes should be so maturely and conscientiously considered that ex , s' ohibi- tionf Jack -in the -box would be few and: far between. M:oral backbone is a most desirable quality in any person but often when the public test comes, experience of . old Belehaz 'zer's, the handwriting on the wall reads "Thou ar weighed in the bal ances and found wanting." Strange as it may appear there appears to be some thing about human nature that inspires a "kick" "against reforms that, properly supported, would mean the benefitting of the community. It has been so and will probably continue, but above the discord -'`' ant note there has always sounded the I `- to ele, call of Advance' and with a cheer'that betokened victory the men .and women who realize they are their brothers' keeper have won many a con test and will continue to do so to the end .of time. "Up and at them" is a good motto. DEATHS SIMPSOM-In Clinton on Wednesday Nov. I7tb, . Fanny Dodd, widow of the late William Simpson, aged 77 years. DOIG-In Clinton on Sunday, Nov. 21st, Elizabeth C.

At nights she would cough so hard she would get black in the face, and would cough for several hours before she could stop. We hied different kinds of medicines and had several doctors, but failed to do her any good. She could not sleep nor eat her cough was so bad, and she was simply wasting away. A friend advised me to try Dr. Wood's Norway Pine Syrup. I got a bottle and 'saw an improvement, and got another. Now I am only too glad to recommend it to all mothers."

Dr. Wood's Norway Pine Syrup will cure the cough or cold -and prove a pre- ventative from all throat and _lung troubles such as bronchitis, pneumonia and consumption.
