The ice was in poor shape and covered with water. In the fret and last period Seaforth Was able to hold their own fairly well but in the eeoond period Oollingwood was able to run up on thorn and the score stood 8-2. This did not at all.indicate the play of the evening, The return game was -played here on Monday night (before a record orowd The ioo again was in a very soft con- dition which made fast play impossible The visitors again showed themselves possessed of better staying powers, be' ing all bigger men, The locals, espeo Tally the forwards played a good game, but were not able to shoot on the goal with their opponents. The score in the first period was 1-0 in the second 4-0 and in the third 7 to i for the vie iters. If the ice had been good the re- sult might have been very different, Why Import Weeds The euggestios that seeds of the Flanders poppy should be imported to Canada is carrying sentiment to a daugercus extreme. l'he plant is after all, a beautiful weed, a oommon pest in France.

It appears that Mr, Pyroe, who had been baying and ship- ping cattle, was looking at a bunch of steers in Grey Township; early last week, when one of them kicked him.

'L'ho following quotations froth a circular issued by the United Statse Bureau of Standards aro of value in this important particular; , Portables wires to lamps, pleasing irons, fans, and other electrical devices used about the house can lint o course, be•tithor out of reach or exterior metal On Vdt's, Portable Wires its general, im. pose a greater sboa hazard than other parte of the electrical installation. It is largely on account of•ruch wires thot the giro -coding of ei ettite is se tweets:try and that the nso of ell&cietttly lulu vol tas;esfor exterior vciaiilg; is essential, A ttatisfaetary degree of - protection is.

The deterioration - of such cords, varying with the ntoistnee and the nntouut of handling to which they tore subjected,.' should be very carefully watched acid when an abrasion of the protective oovoring is noted, the con- ditions should be promptly corrected If the cord ie vary much bent or kink- ed in handling, there is also the poss- ibility that some of the cord strands will be brobereand later pieece the in- stllating covering and the outside- - pro, tective covering, thus exposing those almost invisible strands to tate contact of persons and imposing a shock hazard on the users. Where the surfaces are very damp and especially where the air may be moist, as in bathrooms kitchens and laundries, the conditions are es- pt,cially bad for the deterioration of the cord as well as for the eeverity of the ;bock in case the oord is abraded or otherwise injured, For this reason, cordo abould have special waterproof rioverings where need in laundries, bathrooms, and similar places and, in general, the floor on which users stand, in ouch pisoseshould be covered with dry wood rubber, or other insulating material, and e.,ution observed in han- dling the cord, The use of such oorcie with portable devices by persons while in bathtube, or wlto are likely to touch laundry tubs, kitchen ranges, or other grounded ob- jects, la particularly dangerous, Ac- cidents under these circumstances fre- quently prove serious or fatal. Teaching Thrift At Home III the teaching of thrift it is impose. ible to overestimate the importance_ of the home, In the producing of pelma• tient results along this line the home con do more than any other agauoy, This is because the -wife and mother not only regulate the expenditure of the Itoueohold, but further because through example and precept she does much to shape the minds of the children ata the subject, 11 Ilk I SI .50 per year It has been said' that the hand that moire the eradle rulea the world, and there is a great deal of truth in the etatement, It is equally true that the rising generation will ,be iodustrious and thrifty iu proportion ad the child- ren are taught at home the necessity and value of these qualities. Much may be done through advice but possibly the best way to train the Canadian nbild in thrift is through the. introdnotion of the War Savingo Plan into the home. Four dollars buys a War Saving Stamp and 25 cents buys a Thrift Stamp, Sixteen of the latter are exchanged for a War Savings Stamp,. on which the government pay per cent omit's-under' hall' yearly.
