Mr, Editor:—My attention has been
willed to an article in the New Era of
Nov. 6, 1613. re buying Tungsten
Lamps from a Goderich peddler 1
think possibly, Mr. Editor, I art the
Councillor who bought one lamp (only
'one) at 45 cents. I did buy one lamp
at 5 cents less than Clinton retail price
I bought it to show to our Etectrial
Superintendent, that he 'night exam-
ine as to value and IC possible buy our
next town supply at lower cost. And
this I hastened to follow, out as Mr.
Chant can verify. I don't think Mr.
Editor I deserve, under these circum
stances, to he twitted with not patron
izing home industry. Again Sir I un
derstand the case of the afore mention
ed Goderich salesman was inquired
into, and we find our by law does not,
reach a case of that kind. One word
further, Mr. Editor, I think any citizen
is at liberty to buy lamps where he
can obtain most value for his money
(providing they are not stolen proper
ty) but as a member of the Electric
Light Commision I can assure you the
committee will do their best to place
all such articles so close to first cost
that the pastures will bevery poor for
the retail travelling salesman. Thank
ing you Mr. Editor for allowing this
explanation, I am yours,

Clinton Society beg to report
that the past year has been one of
progress both along the lines of
Civic Improvement as well as the
general. interest taken by the pub -
in 'Horticulture. One 'evidence of
this is our increased membership
which was 118 last year and 5s
now 159. At the centre of thebusi
nese portion of the town where six
streets radiate, leaving untravel-
led spotswe have turned thews
barren :spaces into lawns ,with beds
of Cannan and Calladiums and with
the inspiration given by our ini-
tial effort the merchants whose
businesa places adjoin these
points were only too pleased to
undfertake the care of them Buie
ing the summer and ave cannot
speak too highly of their success
in keeping them so beautifully
green all through an exceptionally
dry season. In these days of mo-
tor travel nothing so much imppres-
ses the 'traveller{ as' gegards 'a
community as the condition and
appearance of its. main thorough-
fares and apart fi;onr our own feel
ings in
the matter we
g have been
more than repaid for our efforts
by the flattering. comments of visi
ting motorists. Last fall we offer-
ed Prizes' for the best bode of Tut
ips which brought oil; several beds
this spring of more than usual ex-
cellence. Our Flower Show held in
September was in every way u
snccessl and although no prizes
were offered the members of the
Society +were a unit in sending
their plants' and flowers for exhi-
bition;, Our 'Campaign • against
"Bill Boards" and like nuisances is
we are pleased Ito say ended as
far as the Society is concerned be
cause the public will not tolerate
anything of the kind again under
any consideration.

.L'0 EDUCATE CHILDREN.
With a view of bringing the anti•
tuberculosis tnovemeut home most
forcibly to the children in whose hands
the ultimate success, of the movement
lies, the Ontario Department of Educe
tion has authorized the setting apart
of Friday, November 2,301. for a special
campaign in the schools of Ontario,
The exercises which immediately
precede the Tuberculosis Sunday
Sermons in the churches of Ontario
will be conducted by Principals, Teach
ers, memters of School Boards, prom
fent educasionists, medical men and
those in public and private life who are
interested in checking the spread of
the disease, The children will be
urged to assume their share of the work
which lies chiefly in the care they take
to avoid contracting or carrying con-
sumption, simple rules of health will
be impressed upon them, at.d some idea
given of the terrible havoc which the
scourge plays in oyer net'onal life. An
outline of Lectures on Tuberculosis is
being supp.ied to teachers on applica-
tion to the offices of the National San
iter• um Association, 347 King Street,

held in Victoria Hall, Queen Street
east, Toronto, Nov. 19 to 25. Careful
selection :has been made of successful
beekeepers from different parts of
Ontario to haedle subjects assigned

of the attention giyen to the question
of co,operatron, The association bas
already made a start. in 1913 by pur-
chasing at wholesale rates for its,
members 2,500 queen' bees from the
best, breeders. This extensive intro.
duction of improved breeding stock
is sure to ,have a marked influence on
the quautity of ,honey produced. Oo
operative sale of the crop bas also
