Quite . a number, of people who were farming in the West have
returned to Ontario intending to remain here.. Some are disheart-
ened on account of crop failures 1 eing on the program for successive
years and affirm that mixed farming in this Province is a surer
method of getting along. We are glad to welcome them back to On-
tario and hope they will do well.
Sorry indeed are the stories c oming from the field of battle,

In all probability there has b een a greater revival in the old

had been known for many along day. Some of the folk say they

Foot and mouth disease is playing havoc with many cattle in the
United States. The bars have been put up along ` the boundary

said to be affected.
Last week's wintry blasts turned the attention of many people
to ,the prospect of a not distant Winter. While such people may
be comfortably housed, warmly clothed and well fed, there are
those in our own land, perhaps in our own municipality, who are
not so providentially- situa ted. B y inquiry we might often learn of
cases where a helping hand mig ht be extended by the Church, So-
ciety or individual. "A friend in need in a friend indeed," but it
often requires tact and good gen eralship to do things in the right
way and at the most needful op portunity. The heart of the Can-
adian people is all right and has been proven so, particularly of
late, but let us keep on the watch near home as well,
A Horticultural Society in a community is often the agency
whereby a love for the beautiful is enkindled, .The Clinton Society
has a good many points to their credit in this particular. There
are hundreds of people in Huron County who know Registrar Coats
(Clinton's own "Billy", on account of his ability to grow sweet peas
and roses more than because he registers official documents. It is
an education that sheds more than the fragrance of the flowers,
and is well worth cultivating in a locality.

Politicians are getting on the war paint and will soon be mus-
tering or trying to muster, the electors who will make their "X"
in the right space on the ballot. There will a session of the House
just so that the oratorical efforts o.fthose who are now M.P.'s can
be printed and passed up and down the concession lines. If the
office seekers were half as much interested between sessions as they
are just prior to an election the practical results would be greater
in the constituency. Of course a man has his own work to look
after and cannot be on the run all the time, as some folk seem to.

An interesting story is told of a Clifford man who advertised
for a wife, and now is in the position of the old woman who lived
in a shoe, he has so many applications he doesn't know what to
do. Over a score of widows and spinsters have had their hearts
touched in pity fpr this forlorn wi dower, and if he can only make
aF wise choice he ought to be all right. Clinton, never behind oth-
er towns, has a candidate in the list. Clifford and Clinton have
some affinity. Do you C.? Without knowing Who the would-be
housekeeper is, we would, from o ur acquaintance with the home-

Office authorities have done right in shutting them but from our

' Forty-seven years ago two advcn•
turous young Englishmen, Viscount
Milton and Dr. Cheadle, after passing
t'be winter in a Saskatchewan forest,
set out from Edmonton to cross the
Rocky Mountains and to reach the
Pacific coast by the ove*land route.
After a most laborious journey, at•
tended with much hardship and often
Much danger, they accomplished their
purpose. They crossed the Rockies
by way of the Yellowhead Pass, which
accurate surveys have since deter-
mined to be the easiest passage'
through the mount,:ins, and is the
route folloiwed by the Grand Trunk
Pacific Railway on its passage over
the great divide. On their journey
they arrived at Jasper House, an an-
cient landmark, evenitat that time, ut
the geography of this part of Canada.
One hundred years ago Jasper House
was one, of the most important trad-
Mg posts of the Hudson Bay Company
In all the far North-west. It was
built in the year 1800 by Jasper
Hawes, who is frequently referred to
by the early explorers of the upper
Rockies.
The site of the old trading post is
now the centre of Jasper Park. This
playground of scenic beauty and
largely unexplored area has been set
%side by the Federal Government of
Canada and will, be preserved in a
state of nature so far as such con-
lition is consistent with the purposes
for which the reserve is created, It
will be open to the holiday-maker and
the tourist; to the explorer, for much
of it in detail is still an unknown land,

and to those wishing to study at first

country where forests will be preser-
ked in their natural state.
Effects of Alcohol
It is difficult, if ..., impossible, to
draw a definite line and say what
would be a moderate and what an im-
moderate use, for the quantities taken
by temperate drinkers vary so much.
The body ie able to destroy but a very
small quantity of alcohol, and the
balance is•eliminated from the system
as speedily as possible, showing plain-
ly that the living organs have no use
for the poison. Even the small
amount of alcohol containedina glass
of Light beer is soon perceptible in
the breath. When larger quantities
are taken, the alcohol is also elimin-
ated through the skin and the kidneys.
Alcohol even in strictly moderate
quantities on account of its preserves;
tive properties renders t1 a =food more
difficult of digestion. Furthermore,
the presence of alcohol in the gastric
juice inhibits or retards the work 01
