As Huron County had one or two cases it is well to :take 'heed and be prepar- ed . to recognize the symptoms and takeprecautions against the disease. "Watch for early signs," says Dr, Helen Macl%l'erchy, chief of the Divis- ion of Child Welfare, the writer of the booklet, "But do not be afraid and do nob 'fuss'". She then describes, the signs as follows: "Fever is the most important sign so you might take the temperature of ebch child morning and evening. Do not allow the children to become overfatigued and give them a little extra rest. Watch their food. Do not alarm them and do not be alarmed yourself. We can prevent paralysis now. "Sometimes a child is not just very well for four or five days before the disease appears, but the early signs often come suddenly. Sometimes a child is -ailing for a day or two then better . again for four or five days, then ailing again. Put the child to bed `and send for a doctor—if he has a headache, if his appetite is poor, is tired and weak, •his pulse is fast, is oktderai Ihe.. scoria -lc route to the wes A fine, fast, through train to the West, leaving Toronto daily at 9.30 p.m. for Minaki, Winnipeg, Brandon, Regina, Saskatoon, Edmonton,rasper and Vancouver.

If he is flushed and thirsty. If he complains of pain' on .stiffness in his neck and back:" "A child with any of the above symptoms isnot well and should- be in bed. Rest and care will do much for him and if he should he taking the disease it will protect other children. Until it is certainly ascertained what the trouble is no one except the one nursing the child should go into the room. Old linen or paper serviettes should be used instead of handker chiefs and burned after using, all dishes and utensils used in the siclt, room should be very carefully scalded add great care should be, exercised in the disinfecting of everything used in the sick room." "Have plenty of fresh air .in the house," she continues, "Screen the windows. Keep food covered. Keep your house cleaner than ever. Keep your sink clean. Garbage buckets should be: ,cleaned out daily and tightly covered. Let in the sun. Sunlight, is the best disinfectant. If a cup, a towel, a handkerchief;, etc,.. etc., has been used it must be washed thoroughly before it is used again. Each person must have his own tootii-brush: Dogs, cats and other family pets should, be kept clean and not handled or fondled too much." When taken in trine :the doctors are now able to treat cases' of infantile paraysis successfully and parents who are afraid that their children may have contracted the ;:.disease should lose no time in getting advice. In the 558 eases in Ontario last year not one of those who had proper ser- um treatment right at the start was paralysed or died. Women should be careful to use their franchise on Monday next. Men, at least some of them, take great not- ice as to whether, women vote, after having been graciously granted the franchise, and ;when they do not do so in large numbers they immediately cry to high heaven that they are not worthy to have the privilege., Of course, a number of Hien do not vote, but that's nothing. Women are ex- pected to be ever so many degrees better than -men, even better patriots. So vote, dear sisters, and prove that you are an intelligent human being and a good citizen. I'm not telling you how to vote. I'm giving you credit for being intelligent enough to make up your own minds as to that but cast your vote like a true woman and hold it as a sacred thing, not to be wasted, bartered or sold for any consideration whatsoever.

Such restrictions naturally lead to reduced buying power on the part of the people, in turn affecting mann- facturers and producers in every line. This problem has demanded the high- est qualities of statesmanship for its solution and, the trend having been early recognized by the King Adminis. tration, a non-partisan and highly com- petent Tarriff Board was appointed. The result?of the tireless efforts of this Board is the King -Dunning Budget. KEEPING DOWN King Budgets during the past nine years have kept living costs down. Tariffs have been lowered an many commodities and implements of pro. duction, reducing living costs, and costs TAXES REDUCED IncomeTax—reducedover 35% since 1924. Sates Tax—Reduced front 6% to 1%. Postal Rates—Reduced from 3 cents to 2 cents; . • penny postage re-established. Cheque Tax—Reduced from 2 cents on every $50.00 to 2 cents over $10.00. Receipt Tax—Abolished. Transportation Tax Abolished. Insurance Tax—Abolished. Telegraph Tax—Abolished. Reduction in five years estimated to amount to ,$116,000,000. The prompt development of trade within the Empire is the logical solu. tion of the enormous problem involved; and the enthusiastic manner in which the King -Dunning Budget has been received throughout the Empire ensures Canada a most favourable position at the Imperial Conference for the interchange of products. Providing a market for Canada's products, ensuring the building up of a home market for her manufactured products, the policy of the King Administration offers assurance., of Canada's future prosperity. LIVING COSTS of production while at the same time helping Canada to buildup the greatest export trade per capita, in the world, in manufactured and semi -manufac- tured goods. TARIFF REDUCTIONS t922 --Sugar, agricultural implements, textiles, boots and shoes, 1923—Britishpreferential tariff reduced by 10 percent, where goods imported by Canadian port. 1924 --Instruments of produttion used in agriculture, mining, forestry and fisheries. 1925—Well-drilling machinery and fishermen's engines. 1926 -Sugar, automobiles, tin-plate, etc. 1928—Implements of production in mining and fishing industries; fertilizers on free list. 1930—Tea, porcelain, china, vegetables, fruits, free under British preference. Reduction in duties means reduction in prices. Bennett CAN'T win ! A.ppr rive the King -Dunning Budget 111 Ontario Liberal.

THE WAY TO, HEALTH If we desire health, if we desire. the happiness, the, good appearance, and the ability required to do our best work both for ourselves and for others, • which is possible only through the possession of 'health, we should consider what is the way to health. It is necessary that we learn' how to live so that body and .mind may receive the care :requked to keep them in a healthy condition. Know- ledge in itself is worthless in secur- ing the desired results. It is practice that jcounts.' The factor that deter - 'mines Whether or not we enjoy a condition of health is our manner of life. In , order to' practise a hygienic mode of life, it is necessary that we make it.a matter of habit. To begin with," we' must think before we act, we must remind ourselves to wash our hands before eating, to clean our teeth night and morning, and to raise the bedroom wintiow.at night. After a time, these !become a matter of hab- it, a routine of life; we do then un- consciously. In order to have health, we must have good health habits. When we have good health habits, We may elaim to have secured a good health education. It is not a simple matter to estab- lish habits of any kind, but good hab- its are as -easy to cultivate as unde-, sirable ones. It is necessary to make THURSDAY, JULY 24, 930 EXETER HYDRO LINE -MAN FALLS 15 FEET TO GROUND EXETER: Oswald Crawford of Exeter, rural hydro lineman, 'was knocked off a pole while UT work one day. last) week, just outside of Grand Bend, falling a dis- a start, and then to persist until the habit is farmed. The practise must be regular and exceptions must not be made. Every time the practice is missed,'a new start must be -made, whichonly makes the acqniring of the habit more difficult. The health habits are not num- erous, nor are they difficult to form.. Their practice does not entail any ex- pense, and yet, health is not to be se- cured and kept. in any other way than. through them. Failure to practice good health habits leads, sooneror later, to a loss of health if not to actual disease. The.. earlier in life good habits are formed, the better, but. it is not top late : to learn. However, the forma, kion of habits is more difficult in later years, lbecause it means that any bad habits must he overcome, It is never a kindness to a young child to permit him .to form undesir- able habits, because the day will come when we will have to pay in the results which grow out of such hab- its. The health habits have to do with diet, rest, exercise, fresh air, sun- shine, elimination and cleanliness, and upon these rests the ,health of each and every one of us.

Crop Report July 17th, 1930 Below will be found a brief synop- sis of telegraphic reports received at the Head Office of the Bank of Mon- treal from its branches. General Intense heat throughout the Prai- rie Provinces has caused rapid growth. Crops in Manitoba and Nor- thern Saskatchewan are making sat- isfactory progress under ideal con- ditions but parts of Southern Sask- atchewan and most areas in Alberta uegntly need rain, as the crop is in a crucial stage. In Quebec crops are generally satisfactory, except on low- lying lands. Rain has interfered with haying operations and warm, dry weather is needed. In Ontario con- ditions continue favourable and crops generally are making good progress. In the Maritime Provinces growth generally is satisfactory. In British Columbia the weather has been, hot and crops are maturing rapidly. Province of Ontario In some districts haying operat- ions have been retarded by too fre- quent rains, about an average is re- ported. Pall wheat has headed out and is -well filled. Harvesting has conr- nteneed. • .A crop of good quality and about average yield is expected. Spring grains have good growth and show promise of good average yields Peas, tomatoes and beans are a good average crop. Corn is in good con- dition, root crops are developing sat- isfactorily. Early potatoes are plenti- ful and sugar beets look promising. Pasturage is exceptionally good. Local showers have benefited tobacco crops, which are in promising condi- tion. Early apples are a fair crop, late varieties promise a light crop. Raspberries and cherries are plenti- ful. Grapes and peaches are about average Fascinating Links in Canada's History Juan de la Cosa, who accompanied Columbus as a cartographer, on his exploration and finding of North America, returned to Spain in 1500 and shortly after drew a map of the country which they had discovered .and the country traversed in the journey. It is supposedly the first map which includes North America and was mislaid and not found until 1832 when the original manuscript was discovered in Paris. At the time only 50 copies were made and the Dominion Archives, at Ottawa, is the proud possessor of one of the copies. The map is 40 by 75 inches and is of interest even to the most vague per- son seeidng information regarding the early history of Canada. St is in color and to depict the winds, La Cosa uses four heads of men, and the expression on their faces show whether they are favor- able winds or not. Countries are di- vided by the piieture of Monarchs sit- ting on the thrones, this mostly be- ing in the Eurasian district. The three wise ;ren are shown following the star, in the portion which is re- served for the Holy Land and the temple of Babylon and Libria are shown in their respective niches, Perhaps it is a legend but an inter- esting tale is told regarding the map. At once it is noticeable that if it were being studied by four peo- ple around a table, each one would face printing directly in frpnt of him. The legend runs that the nobles ob- jected to having to read such maps upside down sothis strategist made his,maop in it manner that all would be satisfied. - Trading posts on the coact of Af- rica and the Mediterranean are con- spieuous. It is very remarkable the clear way in which Le Cosa.sketched the East Coast to Florida, and it is. the wonde�r{• of the present day of hew. he svgs able to achieve this after his voyage. Pf the 35,000 maps which are in the map room of the Archives L Cosas map is one of the 'most inter- esting and is well worth a great deal of study. Students studying the early life of the coentry view it with deep regard for the excellent work; done by the cartographer.. WHEN ABOUT TO BE RUN OVER Inventors, of whom there are many more thn are visible to the naked eye at one trine, have racked their brains to discover a method of saving the pedestrian who is about to 'be run over by the motor car. They have. been, joined in the search by thous- ands of the pedestrians themselves, not merely in self defense, but be- cause a large porportion of ordinary people receive `inspirations" that they are sure are of great value. One of the safety devicesrecently- re- ported is the brain -child of John R. Valls, of New York, and is a bumper that is described almost as infallible 1 in accident prevention. Bumpers with every conceivable form of scoop or fender effect have been tried, without much success; but with this one, a canvas apron, released when coming in contact with a pedestrian, carries the jay-wallker along until the ear stops. The device embodies a bumper mounted movably so as to be retracted when struck, and a frame carrying an apron, or other receptable, normally held in a locked position, which is released by the re- traction of the bumper. The apron snaps forward on impact. This af- fair is said to be as effective with trucks as with passenger cars, and to be an aid in reducing fatal accidents. A similar device, invented by a Win- nipeg man, was exhibited in Western Canada a year ago. tante of 15 feet. He was picked up immediately by fellow workers and rushed to Dr. Fletcher's Hospital +Iiere where he was given attention, He suffered severe burns to . both hands .and 'arms. Examination of the body showed no bones to be broken, A"few days' confinement in the hospital anjl it is thought he will be able to leave not much the worse for his experience which might eas- ily have causedhis dead!,. HIGHWiAYS EXPERTS, TO HOLD CONGRESS, Canada will be represented._ by a large number of highway experts at the International Road Congress int Washington from October 6th to llth While it is expected that "each of the provincial governments- will send delegates, a much larger number are. expected to attend in the capacity of representatives of. Canadian motor- ing associations, etc. Forty-five nations will take part in the Congress., Leading, highway engineers, administrators and econ- omists from every part of the globe will attend. Previous meetings of. the Congress took place in London, Paris,#Brussels, Seville and Milan. This is the first to be held in.the Western Hemisphere.

'GODERICH: At noon on Satur- day Jeremiah Healey pleaded guilty to the charge of reckless driving and doing bodily injury, before Magis- trate Reid in the Police Cours. He was given two years suspended sen- tence and his- driver's license taken away indefinitely. SEASICKNESS A joyous Balfour story --told by Lord (Sir Edward Grey) in his "Twenty five years"—has it that on one occasion during the war, Grey, Balfour and Lord George were re- turning from Paris to London to- gether, The cheneel crossing had been vile, and later, when all three where comfortably settled in a Pull- man en route from Dover to London, this conversation took place. Lord Grey I couldn't help thiiik- ingabout mines on the way over. Lord George (wearily) —Ohl I was feeling much too bad to think of urines. Lord Balfour (With convincing em- phasis)—I longed for a mine. Deceiving the Bees (Experimental Farms Note) Bees do not work by the clock nor• do they '•cease working when their own food requirements aro filled. So long as there is nectar available in the fields and weather conditions are favourable for gathering it, the bees will continue to store honey until all space within their hives is filled. A good colony of bees will often store' more than double the amount of hon. ey required for its own use and the surplus is the reward of.. the bee- keeper provided he has the nerve to take it. Bees usually have the un- fortunate habit 61 disputing the ownership of this surplus honey and their method's of arguing the ques- tion are net only pointed but painful to the person of the opposition.. In the past, the usual method of settling the -question was to, first destroy the bees with sulphur fumes and then to take all the honey in peace. This method, however; was like "killing the goose that laid the golden egg" and valuable property was destroy- ed. The newer method is to take the honey without the bees knowing any- thing about it. Apiece of epuipment known as a bee escape board is plac- ed beneath the supers of honey and the bees passing down through .the escapes are unable to return to the supers. If these boards are pub in place during the afternoon of a day on which the bees are flying well, the supers above will be free of bees the following morning when the honey can be removed without pain- fulaltercations with the owners. Not more than two full depth or three shallow supers should be above the escape boards at one time, other- wise it will take a longer time . to clear them of bees, nor should there be brood or queens in the supers, for then the bees will not leaveltbem at all. Bulletin 'No. 33 of the Bee Di- vision, Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa, not only describes the bee escape board and how to use it but also shows a photograph of it. C. B. Gooderham, Dominion Apairist. WESTERN CROP CONDITIONS VARY • Prairie grooving conditions for the 1930 crop vary considerably, accord- ing to the latest reports from the Department of Commerce. Reports indicatesthat the recovery from the effects of high winds has not been uniform. Although moisture is abundant and progress is generally satisfactory in northern Alberta, the injury in that province attributed to soil drifting and insect pests is slightly above the average. Eastern Saskatchewan con- ditions aro promising but the pro- vince has some badly blown areas across Regina. Moose Jaw and the adjoining districts. Conditions of all crops are below average in llfanitoba due to frost and wind, but the bulk of the crop has progressed normally. The height of wheat over the whole west averages from 6 to 8 inches, 11 wo Feat -hies Make Iusura ice r emi ent as a Protect • d Investment ISE time is opportune to can attention to certain features of Life Insurance which have been overlooked and ignored, because in the rush for quicker returns people hated to spare the premiums. The first point is that according to a man's position, income and_prospects he can determine to create an estate for himself of $5,000, $20,000, $50,000 or $100,000, and through Life Insurance he can guarantee to reach that objective within a specified time, with safety and without loss or fluctuation of principal. Moreover, his program once set, he can put his mind at rest in the enjoyment of the good things of life from year to year. The second point is that if death should intervene, Life Insurance will do what no other investment can guarantee —it will make the full intended principal available at once for his family. Besides these .two outstanding. merits, Life Insurance is adapted to protective, investment and collateral uses. It should have a place in any business or investment program. Its loan values offer a cushion during financial difficulty. Adequate insurance builds an .unshakeable asset. THE ONTARIO -EQUITABLE LIFE AND ACCIDENT INSURANCE COMPANY S.c.
