What Clinton was Doing n iThe GayNineties DO YOU REMEMBER WHAT- HAPPENED DURING TIM LAST DE- CADE OF THE OLD CENTURY? From The New Era, Aug. 17, 1894: Londesboro—iM•. George Scales fell from a beamin the barn, one day Last week, and struck on the hay rack, breaking some of his ribs. Mrs. C. A. Case and family of London have been visiting at R. Ad- ams and Mrs. Garret's the past week. Mrs. Carter of Toronto (nee Miss Neal) formerly of Londesboro, has been renewing oldacquaintances the last few days. Bayfield --It is only a few years since the first tourist made the dis- covery that Bayfield was suitably sit- uated fora resort and from that day till this the number of visitors has Snoreased at a rate that fairly aston- ishes those who have watched the progress .of our fame. ,Those•who have stopped at the hotels this sum- mer have spoken in the highest terms of the obliging and courteous treat- meet they have received, but there are many more who prefer taking a cottage for the summer and it is there for whom we have yetto provide. Bayfield contains numerous elicellent sites for cottages, especially along the banks of the lake and river, where "the whole day long delicious breezes blow," and where the broad beach of the lake and the widely pietui'esque scenery along the cedar -fringed was ters.of the river, form such intranc- ing retreats for those who are ad- mirers of the beautiful. The following people from Gunton are holidaying in Bayfield at Com- mercial, Hotel: Mrs. and Miss Mary Nett; at River Hotel: Mr. Brewer, wife and five ,children, the Molsons Bank, Clinton. A Poor Substitute—The cannon ar- rived on Saturday and the Dominion Government will no doubt be trying to comfort their conscience with the thought that if theydid not keep their promise with regard to the harbour they have at any rate given us a big toy to amuse as until after election. For an improved harbour, faithlessly promised time and again, they offer the people of Bayfield a discarded piece of iron of the time of George IIL ;Mr. J. P. Tisdall has been spend- ing a week in Toronto. iMrs. Hick of Toronto is the guest of Mrs, James Twitchell. Principal Houston of the Collegiate is visiting friends in the east. Messrs.

Tay- lor of town, has been offered a' posi- tion in the Napenee Collegiate insti- tute at $1;000 a year. It was unsol- icited. ' :j4 - WHEN THE PRESENT CENTURY WAS YOUNG • Prom The News -Record, Aug. 12th, 1909: •Mr. D. Cantelon, who had converted what was formerly the hose mill into an apple evaporator, leased the build- ing on Monday to Town and Case of Rose, New York State, who have car rigid on a similar -business here foe the past score of years. Both the 'part- ners are well-known in Clinton, Mr. Case especially so, for it is The who has been managing this end of the business for several years past and, he enjoys the respect of all those who have had dealings with bio. Choice Live Stock--iMr, J. Rams: ford, the well-known stockman of "Tuckersmith, 'shipped on Monday, 'three carloads, 62 head of choice ex- port cattle for Tuesday's Toronto market. The First Shipment --- Cantelon Bros. made. their first shipment of plums for this season on Tuesday. This is their earliest shipment on re- cord. They state that the quality is good andthe, quantity abundant, but the price rather low. Ten students in Ontario obtained honours andone was from the Clinton Collegiate. The standing of Douglas Stewart, son of Rev. Dr. Stewart, was only equalled bytwo other stu- dents in the province.

WHAT OTHER NEWSPAPERS ARE SAYING CLOSE ONTARIO HOUSE The closing of Ontario I•Iouse in London, England, will savethe pro- vince ti considerable sum of money, but will also remove an important factor in 'the development of the Bri- fishmarket for Canadian goods, par- ticularly farm produce, es well as severing another tie with Mother. Country.-Simcoe Reformer. • 9k SCALING DOWN RATES Interest rates on government loans in Canada are being scaled down to a reasonable level. The Hepburn Government has just succeeded in placing 15,000,000 worth of Ontario bonds at 3,58 percent, while the Ben- nett Government has gone one better in floating a $5,000,000 loan in the New York market at.2 percent. These rates are a big improvement over the four and five percent. figures of recent years. In the case of the Do- minion flotation alone, it will mean a saving of $1,000,000 .a year. The only cause for regret is the necessity of borrowing the money at all. Pre- sent conditions do not. give hope for any substantial diminution either of provincial or federal indebtedness in the near future, Norfolk Observer. ,vh. af•' USES OF TITLE "HON." The Woodstock 'Sentinel -Review 3s right in contending that provincial ministers (including premiers) are entitled to be called "Honourable" only during their term of office. On- tario's ex -premier is plain "Mister Henry" now, Those entitled to the life title "Honourable" are lieuten- ant -governors and Canadian privy councillors, including the federal prints mninister, and Ms cabinet min- isters who are "sworn of the privy council" and constitute its active committee. Senators are "Honorab- les" during their term of office, which is usually .for life. Speakers of the Senate and Commons (after three Years in office), Chief Justices and those Judges who are normally entit- led to "Oonoravle" while in office may have it continued on retirement if personally recommended ' by the Gov- ernor-General. One of the curious points of ; etiquette is that members of theroyal family take precedence after the ,Governor-General while vis- iting Canada.—Toronto Star. P'ANADIAN ART Perhaps in no cultural realm has Canada achieved greater fame in re- cent years than Canadian artists. They have developed •a style and a school which has brought world-wide recognition. None has a more strik- ing and distinctive individuality than Arthur Herring with his brilliant pictures of Canada's Northland. He has recently held an exhibition in London which has been loudly praised by British critics. --The London Free Press. *air, THE EMBRO .C'O'URIER After fifty-four years of publica- tion; the Embro Courier has given up the attempt to carry on. It has done well toenaintain its place in the pub- lishing field so longagainst the trend of the times, and it has not lacked distinction as Zone's community pa- per. —The Toronto Globe. * al WILL HITLER BE .ANOTHER KAISER'. "A man of peace" is what. Chan- cellor Adolph Hitler described him- self at the funeral of the late idol of Germany, Paul von' Hindenburg. t ler has repeatedly made similar as- sertions, but from his actions in his own country we would hesitate to trust, ourselves too much to his mer- cy. Hitler, who has risen from a pa- per hangerto the most powerful man in Germany_ is hardly expected to satisfy himself if he succeeds in fina- ble a remedy Tor his own country's ills. The man is possessed with an insatiable desire for power and many important politicians of the day are firm in the belief that he ill not stop Shortof founding new dynastyin g a .. Germany. it is already hinted that he is planning to appoint a successor to himself. Such a man is hardly to be trusted with the 'peace of the world and though 'we earnestly hope that he is sincere in his wish for world Peace, we believe that it will be safer to watch him from the corner of ear eye. A prominent German newspa- pee, The Deutsche Allgemeine Zei- tung recently reprinted,, a proclama- tion made by the Kaiser 20 years ago when he said, "Since the Reich was Mounded 34 years ago it has always been my earnest effect' and that of my aneesters to preserve peace' and in peace to advance our vigorous de- veloriment. Conscious of our respon- sibility andstrength we have hither- , o ither-,o borne with all open and secret en- mity from the east and west and from the other side of the sea. Now they would humiliate us so the sword must' decide. In the midst of peace an enemy falls upon us. To amis. Irresolution and delay would be trea- son to the Fatherland. We shall de- fend ourselves to the last breath of man and beast." The succeeding events in the great war showed u4 that very little sincer- ity entered into the Kaiser's remarks. He went ,'ahead with little compunc- tion for the rights of others, with disastrous results. We believe that Hitler can be easily placed in the same category—igreedy for power, sacrificing the rights, of others to feed the flames of his own vanity. —Kincardine News. Athletics Versus a Child's Heart Word of Advice to Over -Anxious Parents—Normal Heart Not Eas- ily Strained The young generation are keen on physical 'culture and games of every sort, which is all to thegood, writes Dr. Elizabeth Sloan Chesser, But parents are .sometimes worried as to whether their child is fit for strenu, ous games. One hears a lot of talk about "strained heart," and I have known about a child being too deli- cate for violent games. The Normal Heart If a child's heart is "normal"—that is, undamaged by rheumatism, which is a common cause of valvular dis- ease of the heart, or weakened, tem- porarily perhaps, by the toxins or poisons of diphtheria or influenza, for example—it is not very easy to "ov- erstrain." The heart is hollow, a pump with living contracting muscul- ar walls, a hard-working orga,n cap able indeed of work to the point of. what we may eall violent exertion. It works night and day, resting only for a fraction of time between its beats, which send the blood along the arteries to every organ and tissue of the body. 'So that a child who possesses a nor mai healthy heart is quite fit for the ordinary 'school games and competi- tions in sport. But a parent is always well advised to have the heart exam- ined by the family doctor. If passed as "normal" he or she can then cease to worry about "strained heart." A child is happier andhealthier if he does the same things in the same way as the rest of his world. When Care Is Needed I should like to emphasize two pointe, however,. The child with a rheumatic heart—that is when the valves are damaged by inflammation due to the poison of rheumatism — should have his life unobtrusively su- pervised by the family physician. He should not, of course, be deprived of exercise, but exercise must be mode- rate and regulated, that is, suited to the child's condition. Secondly, after any acute febrile disease, such as pneumonia, scarlet fever, influenza, •measles, the heart like ether tissues and .organs, takes some time to recover tone. • A child is not fit for strenuous mental and physical activity for at least a year after a serious febrile disease. Teach- ers and parents, here again, must work in co-operation with the physi- cian. Diphtheria has a particularly evil influence on the heart muscle, so that during: and after diphtheria, there must be special can to avoid in- jury to the heart by exercise or even rapid movements. Danger Signals If exercise is too strenuous for a person, the heart soon lets it be known, Fainting ,rapid pulse, breath- lessness, or exertion are danger sig- nals. What do sueh symptoms mean? Either that the heart is being over- taxed, or that the blood is lacking in iron. The haemoglobin of the blood un- ites in nites'in the lungs with oxygen, which is carried by the .blood stream to the tissues. If the red coloring matter—. -haemoglobin—is poor in quality or quantity, the patient suffers from an - ORANGE AND BLACK NEXT YIIAR% PLATES On a shelf in the office .of Hos. H. C. Nixon, • provincial secretary,' rests a'sample copy of the automobile 'li- cense plate for 1936. The prates are just being turned out at Guelph re- formatory, where they are made ev- ery year. The 1935 plates show black figureson an orange background. "I think the new government ought to ehange the eolor of the plates," Mr. Nixon laughed_ as he exhibited .them. An Irish'Guards officer called up a . sergeant and spoke of the unsoldier- ly appearance of a'reernit, "He looks very slovenly, sergeant" • "Yes, sol," "Are you sure he washes?" "Yes, sol:" "Absolutely •certain be washes?" "Yes, sor, btit he dries a badcolor, sor." aemia, and the heart, in conmmon with other organs, is deprived of its'oxy, gen. There is . no reason however to forbid athletics. Aeaemia can be treated and the child reassured that he is not suffering from "heart dis- ease," There are too many adults living a lazy and anxious life because patents' a generation ago talked them into "heart neurosis." When we are well we should not be aware of our bodies at all. Digestion should be as easy as breathing. The heart ought to be ableto do its work without any fret- ting or worrying about "strain" on our part. Our organs, like ourselves, are all the better for plenty of work and physical exercise like thinking— that is brain exercise—should have its due place in our lives. CANADIAN NATIONAL RAIL- WAYS REVENUES • The gross revenues of the all-in- clusive Canadian National Railways System for the week ending August 7th, 1034, were $2,885,614, as compar- ed with $2,862,577, for the corres- ponding period of 1933, an increase of $23,037. ' Royal Bachelor Girl is Stili Aloof From Love according to plans presented to th& fb y Bachelor I t3Still Aloof Ontario ministry of highways. Part of No, 2 Highway, 'that from London through Chatham to Wialkerville, is Princess Juliana of Holland, Heart. whole and Fancy Free Disap- points Matchmakers Princess Juliana of Holland --, giri whom no princeling wants, or girl who wants no princeling That's the cross -word puzzle which has intrigued royal matchmakers of Europe for the past six years. About a month ago, after. at. visit to London with her royal kinfolk and friends, she left the gossipers more in the. dark than ever. And the recent death of her father, Prince Consort Henry, Duke of Mecklenburg, has brought up the question anew. Juliana is as much the bachelor girl of Europe as the Prince of Wales is the royal bachelor; neither has followed the rule of their respective houses and married early. The 'Prin Bess' 'Queen -mother succeeded to the throne when she was 10 and married when she was 21. Juliana at 25 is still heart -whole and fancy-free. Guzzle to Her eople The Dutch don't like it. They would prefer to see her wedded, set- tled down and raising a family so that the throne would fall intothe hands of those in the direct line of the House of Orange. Also the Dutch don't understand it. Not only is she the heiress to the throne of a, tidy little country with immensely rich colonies, but she, is rich in her own right, is attractive in appearance, is brilliantly educated, charming in private conversation and full of fun. Any prince, they sap, ought to be glad to marry her. Only there is the doubt as to whether she wants to be married. In the past few years a whole procession of pro- testant German and Swedish eligibles has passed in review and not once did Juliana "bat an eye," indicating: "I'Il have that one." Guided boy Family Experience It may be that what occurred in her own family lifehas made her hes- itant choosing a Prince Consort. When her Mother, Queen Wilhelmina, married the late Prince Henry, a Ger- man, the Dutch were 'none too pleas; ed. Germany was too powerful and too dangerous a neighbor, Poor Prince Henry had to efface himself. He had the name of near -royalty without the game. He was the hyph- en in the family. The husband of Princess Juliana would have to play a similar role. Juliana wi1L be Queen some day 4f she lives, but if she gets married 'nor husband will be only Consort, In ,the meantime, she is not pining away, not Princess Juliana, She went to a Dutch: university, mingled with her fellow students, end had a lot. 'of innocent fun. Incidentally, she per- fected herself in languages, history and economics. After she graduated she lived at home in her mother's pal- ace. Then her grandmother, the late Queen Emma, put in a word For her and she was given a palace of her own establishment, It is called "a palace by courtesy, As a matter of fact, it is just a nice patrician resi- dence in one of the most attractive old-world squares in The Hague... Takes Holidays Abroad Every year now for some time past she has been going over to England, just for a real holiday. There is less restriction in London than. in The Hague. The latter is ea neat little city, but it's a whispering gallery where every move is discussed, Lon- don is so big that a whisper doesn't carry far. Here she can do what any London girl does—go to dances and parties and lead the kind of life a rich, well- born young woman normally likes to live. Of that there can be no doubt, i because `last year after her regular. London visit, she wrote to one of her friends• • "Thr twelve days I have lived in a continual whirl. Life has been giori eusly free and riotously gay." Again, like the Prinee of Wales, she is making the most of it; Both of them know that when they mount a throne their -lives will not be parti- cularly free or gay. They will be bound and fettered by the things that a ruler must an must not do. When you consider the fierce white light that beats upon a throne, per- haps you cannot blame the Princess Julianaforgathering her rosebuds while she may. NEW NAMES FOR HIGHWAYS Ontario's highways, in the future, are no longer to be designated as 'The King's 'Highways." Instead, the historic designations of the province's main thoroughfares will be revived, to be known as "Tecumseh Road," lis- honor of the great Indian chieftain, who fought his last battles along the `line it mow follows. From London to, Toronto, No. :2 will be "Dundas Street" again; and the highway from. Toronto to. North Bay will be official— ly christened "Yonge Street" as it is still known to thousands who live- in its vicinity. Other highways will be renamed in due course to honor the memory of great Canadians and citizens of ; Ontario. Among ;those mustered for the provinee's highway hall of fame are Sir Oliver Mowat, Hon. George Brown, founder of .The "Globe," and a father of Confedera- tion., WOULD BUY EDISON'S FIRST INSTRUMENTS Keys With Which He First Learned Telegraphy on Goderich Line, Are Object of Negotiations 'Fort Erie, Aug, 11 -,Some 60 years' ago when the late Thomas Edison then employed on the old Buffalo and' Goderich line of the Grand Trunk Railway was learning to telegraph he and Malcolm Colelough, for many years superintendent of internation- al Railway 'Bridge between the Black Pott: and; Buffalo, used to exchange brief telegraph flashes, as Mr. Edi- son, lust graduating from a job as '"train butcher" was learning Morse code. Those instruments on which ] Edison learned the mysteries of dots and dashes have long since been a treasure relic in the Colclaugh family here. Negotiations were recently opened' by Henry Ford's secretary covering their purchase, and it is announced' a grandson, Gordon Colciough, him- self a telegraph operator, will receive an undisclosed sum for instruments.. THE DIFFERENCE An inspector, examining a class in religious knowledge, asked the fol- lowing question of a little girl, in- tending it for a catch: "What was the difference between Noah's Ark and Joan of Are?" He was not a little surprised when the child, answering, said: "Noah's Ark was made of wood and Joan of Are was maid of Orleans," saeltieesseseltnenreasailfasasecoVasesaalVeseese THE hadap "CAVEAT EMPTOR," meaning, "Let the buyer be- ware," This wasn't used as a bit of balm to ease the ancient conscience nor, yet, was it placarded in the booths and stalls of the market -place. It was a piece of every -day knowledge, born of dear -bought experience. • A shopkeeper knew little about the source of his merchandise. This tunic he bought from a trader, who said it came from Byzantium. So he sold it as the latest Byzantian style. The trader told him the dye was pure Tyrian—it wouldn't fade. So he sold it as Tyrian dyed. But the buyer knew the respon- sibility was his own. If he guessed wrongly, or his judgment was poor, it was his hard luck. Today, fortunately, there are safer guides than the blanket -warning to "let your eyes be your mar- ket." • These, guides' are the newspaper advertise- ments. In this newspaper, they area catalogue of the best values in town --signed by responsible firms. If the goods are not all that is claimed for them, their sponsors would need to "beware." For no business can thrive on a one-time sale, or on dis- satisfied customers. A signed advertisement is, in a way, like a pro- misory note. The advertiser has made a statement, and affixed his signature as a sign of good faith. So,'. read the advertisements before you start out on a buying -trip.
