DON'T GiET IN A PANIC. An outside business concern has distributed folders to citizens in town this week, advertising their own pro- duct, and claiming that if it is used it rwlil insure against infection causing illness. It is a pretty ilig claim, as the local ;M.O,H. informs The News- Record that no one knows where the people who are here and there sufJ fering from the diseases mentioned got infection. One of them may be caused by milk or it might be from butter, or cheese or ice cream or even from a carrier, Dr. Shaw de- clares. Anyway, raw milk is only one source and any family can en- sure ha' ing pure milk by boiling it, Other products are not so easily at- tended to. This folder demonstrates the fact that a business concern is not a- bove working upon the fears of the public for its own personal gain., It might be interesting to know how many of the "scattered casee" nten- tinned as being in the town from whieh the concern operates have been using the product which it is adver- tising.

A TRAGIC HAPPENING The following from the Dunnville Gazette refers to the son of a form- er citizen: "The many friends of Mr. and Mrs. M. C. Kaufman will learn with re- gret of the death on Tuesday even ing at Niagara Falls, N.Y., of their only son, Clinton, under tragic cir- euintances. It is an accepted theory by the poeeco there that Mr. Kauf- man was struck by a bit and run dri, ver after falling from a viaduct, sustaining a crushed skull and pother injuries. The accident happened about 9.30 on Sunday morning. Mr. Kaufmpn was in the habit of walking to Lew- iston on Sunday mornings and re- maining for the ball game there, and apparently he was following out the same procedure on Sunday, go- ing by way of the viaduct, He must have fallen from the viaduct to the highway below, and then was struck by a hit and run driver and thrown to the side of the road. His sweater coat identified by his father was found on the viaduct. 'Mr. Kaufman did not regain coal sciousness. The funeral will be held at Niagara Falls, N.Y., this (Friday) afternoon, Besides his parents, Mr. Kaufman is survived by his widow, one daughter, and two sisters, Mrs. Cur- tis M. Lyon of Burnaby and Mrs. James Parker of Grand Valley, Ont." DEATH OF MRS. 3. E.

We used 3,000,00e gallons in June, in one clay using 156,000 gallons or 780 tons of water. Supt. Rumball says that so long as the big pump works we are safe but if anything went wrong with it, even for a few hours, we should be in a bad fix, as the two small pumps could not supply the need, even in the spring and fall, when compara- tively little water is needed.
