Barn Burned.—An .unfortunate fire
occurred at the farm of Mr, Robert
Habkirk, lot 24, concession 5 on Mon-
day night when his fine barn was
burned to the ground. The family
had all retired but one daughter at
11:30, when hearing a noise she
looked out and saw the barn on fire.
The blaze seemed to have started in
the straw mow and had made such
progress that only three horses were
rescued. All the other contents were
destroyed including wagons, binder,
mower, buggies, etc, . The loss is a
heavy; one, being over $2,000,

ONTARIO, THUR$DIY, MAY 10, 1923
WANTS MANY CHANGES.
Dr. Field,' Inspector of Schools in
Last 'Huron, addressed ajoint meet-
ing of the" School Boardand the
Town Council on Friday evening in
the council chamber at the town hall:
Dr. Field outlined the changes he
desired, which came as a surprise to
some of those present, He claimed
the lighting was all wrong and that
all windows on the right hand side
of the rooms should be closed up and
new windows cut in the ` left wall.
The walls also should be painted -a
lighter color.
The closets, the Inspector said,
were deplorable, and new ones should
be put in the basement, and the base-
ment enlarged as a playground for
the children.
The Inspector said a new steam
heating system waS also needed.
His plan appeared to meet with.
small favor except in the matter of
the closets. •
Mr. McKellar said that last winter
was the first time any complaint was
heard'. from the teachers regarding
the heating, and these complaints
were caused by the soft coal being
used. Mr. McKellar said that they
had a car of hard coal on the way now
for next year, and he anticipated' no
trouble in heating.
Mayor Golding and Mr. W. Beattie
both thought the furnaces there now
should: heat the building as the rooms
were not large.
This did not please Dr. Field, Ilio'
said he thought if •all the changes
were not made now, they would never
be made.
Asked regarding the cost, he said
he did not know, but thought $14,000
would do the work,
The Mayor said the town was
carrying a heavy debt now for water-
warks, and recalled that in the school
he attended one heater kept 78 chil-
dren comfortable. Later he said only
one child of a group photograph from
that same school had undergone an
operation, and contrasted that with
present conditions
The Inspector said he had been in
fifty schools in Iowa, and had not
seen a child playing outdoors at any
of the schools.
Reeve Grieve thought the children
should be in the open; that doctors
put infants out in sleeping porches as
soon as they are born, and it seethed
strange that the Inspector should
want to prevent school children get-
ting fresh air. He said that the open
air was the best.
The general feeling was that with
a few changes, the school would do
for a number of years yet, as the
building itself is still in good repair,.
The Council and the Trustees ar-
ranged to meet at school on Tuesday
evening and see for themselves the
condition of the building and rooms.
JAMES FOX.
On Friday, May 4th, 1923, there
passed away at his home, Jarvis
street, Seaforth, James Fox, in -his
80th year. Deceased had been in fail-
ing. health for the past three or four
years, and was confined to bed for
several weeks before his death, dur-
ing which tine he was attended by
his nephew, Mr. David Gribben, of
Detroit, Mich.
Born at St, Columban, he spent the
greater part of his life there, coming
to Seaforth fourteen years ago. He
was unmarried. Mr. Fox is survived

forth, he being the last of seven bro-
thers .10 the family. Two nephews,

Laving Weldon,' relict of the the
late Isaac Whctesinith, passed away
on :Friday tit the home of her nephew,
Mr. F -S. Sa•fauge, after a three
months':fi1Iness. The late Mrs. White-
smith was born seventy-eight years
ago nbar Oakwood, Victoria County,
on May 20th, 1844, her parents being
among the earliest pioneers of that
district, and the homestead still re -
maiming in possession of -the family.
In 1869 she was married to Mr.
Whitesmith, and afterwards moved to
Manilla, Ont.,- where they lived for
fifty years. Since the death of her
husband three years ago she has made
her home in Seaforth.
Mrs. Whitesmith was a woman of
a quiet, kind, unassuming disposition
and was very capable and industrious.
She excelled particularly in waxwork
and needlework. She was •a 'member
of the Methodist church and had the
unique honor of. being a member of
the church for over 70' years, having
become a• member at seven years of
age.

terment took place to Oakwood cem-

ing and healing properties of this
famous remedy have been demon-
strated for fifty years. Use italso for

FATHER PASSES
The sad news of the death of hi
father, Mr. George 11...Savauge, o
Toronto; was recetved by Mr. Fred
S. Savauge On. Sunday. Coming jus
after the death of his aunt in hi
home on Friday, the bereavement
was' a heavy one. The late Mr. Sa-
vauge,had prepared to go to church
Sunday morning as usual and had
stepped: outside the door of his home,
when he fell back into the arms of
Mrs. Savauge .,and expired in a few
moments. He was. seventy-five years.
of age. Mr. F. S. Savauge left for
fioron•to Sunday afternoon,
was slain by one or both of the sis-
ters, and the body hidden under a
f stump in an adjoining field. Provinc-
, ial Constable Whitesides is in charge
to of the case.'
s i Gladys Neable, on receiving her re-
mand, was taken to the county jail.
She did not seem to realize the •seri-
ousness of her position, nor the crime
with which she was charged..
The parents are prominent resid-
ents of Grey township.
On Monday, Alexander Patterson,
of 'Hullett township, pleaded guilty
before Police Magistrate Reid, Gode-
rich, to a charge of seduction, He
was fined.$500 and costs of $50 and
three months in the Goderich jail at
hard labor, or in default of the fine,
six months in addition. Patterson
paid the fine. The charge against
Patterson, arose from the murder
charge laid against the. Neale sisters,
one, the mother of the murdered
child, now in jail awaiting a prelimin-
ary hearing.
DIVISION COURT.
Division court was held here on
Tuesday forenoon. The principal
case was that of Wesley Agar against
Joseph Daymond, for the balance of
his . wages while threshing last year,
for $62.50, •
It seems that the young man had
accepted a note for $110, afterwards
changed for a cheque.
Daymbnd claimed this note was
given in full payment of account and
Agar claimed, and his brother corro-
borated, that it was only in part pay-
ment.
Most of the forenoon was occupied
in hearing the 'case, which produced
some very contradictory evidence.
The judge took the ground that
the young man, had acted very fool-
ishly in taking a note for part of the
account. He was severe also on his
unfair way of treatii�agg a neighbor,
but held that Agar had'tlone the work
and the evidence showed that he was
only asking. for the wages paid for
such work by others, and gave judg-
ment that Agar bepaid his claim.
EPWORTH LEAGUE.
worth League on Tuesday even-
ing was in charge of the. Mission4ry
department. The toric "Japan Before
the Missionary Entered," was very
ably taken by Miss L Johnson, Rev.
R. Fulton Irwin gave a five-minute
instructive talk' on the Scripture
verses read by a number of the leag-
uers. An instrumental by Harvey
Bristow and a duet by Mrs, M, Ham-
lin and Miss H.. French were both
thoroughly enjoyed by all. League
was dismissed with the Mizpah bene -
'diction.
GOOD ADVERTISING..
In the issue of the Canadian Groc-
er of May 4th,, under the head of
"How Merchants Advertise," part of
an advertisement recently inserted in
the local papers by Mr. John Mac-
Leod, of Seafo'rthuis given as an ex-
ample 'of careful: preparation of copy,.
as follows:
"FOOD THAT WE RECOM-
MEND may be used in yonr !tonic
with confidence. We•give an uncon-
ditional guarantee with all our goods.
—Mix your diet. Don't live on meat
and potatoes, with a piece of pie
thrown in now and again, it does not
pay.—If you value constant satisfac-
tion, if you want to get your full
money's worth every ,time, we give
both,"
CLINTON HAS 44 MILL RATE.
(Goderich Signal).
What proportion of municpal taxes
should be spent for education is a
question that many Clinton ratepayers
are asking these days in view of the
fact that the town council at its last
meeting decided that it would be ne-
cessary to raise by taxes $35,912, or
forty-four mills on the dollar, .to.
meet the current expenses of the town
and the demand of the two schools.
The public 'school board asked for
$7,200, an increase of $400 over last
year, notwithstanding the fact that
they started the 'year with a balance.
of $1,100.
The Collegiate Institute asked for
$7,250, an increase of $1,900 over last
year
The school rate is eighteen mills on
the dollar, in addition to two and a
half mills extra to pay debentures on
public •school building improvements,
or a total oftwentyand a half mills
for education,
Hael it not been for the increases
asked by the schools, the council
wouldhave been
able to reduce -the
tax rate by at least half a mill, the
rate last year being forty-one and a
half mills.
The school boardssay that with
the demands of the education
depart-
ment and the teachers' federation
they are unable to reduce the ex-
penses, but in the opinion of many
citizens the burden of education de-
mands has become unbearable and
some relief must be found.
ACCUSED OF MURDER.
Following the finding of the body
of a newly born babe in a bush be-
tween Leadbury and Brussels, Gladys
and Doris Neable, aged seventeen
and fourteen years respectively, of
Grey township, were jointly'. charged
with murder on Thursday last at
Goderich.
The charge is that, on March 23rd
they murdered an unnamed,child of
Gladys Neable.
The younger of the : two girls is
confined to the home of her parents
tinder quarantine for measles, and
was not taken to Goderich for hear-
ing:
Gladys Neable ;however, appeared
before Magistrate Reid on the charge
of murder and on the request of
Crown Attorney Seager, who asked
for time to get further information,
was remanded until next Saturday.
A post mortem was held by Drs,'
Ross and Mackey in Seaforth, where
the . body was taken "last Thursday
evening.
The authorities suspect the -child

Year After Year
you spend Hundreds and Hun-
dreds of Dollars on it.
It Becomes Part of Yourself,
it -effects your health, pocket
book, and your efficiency at
your work.
And in Spite of All That,
'you probablyspend far more
time and thought in choosing a
new hat, than you do. •in choos-
ing your food.
The Food You Buy
and use, effect the well-being of
the whole family, while the ha'
you buy effects your personal
appearance only.
Growing Children
require plenty of good, clean,
nourishing Food to fit them for
the battle before them. If they
do not get it in their youth
when their bones and muscles
are forming, it will handicap
them through life.
Your Efficiency
in buying, preparing and serv-

is of far more importance, as

H alth is
concerned, c red than
your efficiency

It Need Not Necessarily Cost
you any more financially • to give
them the Itkind t
g of Food
but it might require the use of
a little better judgment, and
the acquiring of a little more
knowledge as to the food value
of certain kinds of Food.
The highest priced Foods are
not necessarily any more nour-
ishing than cheaper kinds.
While you generally- get real
food -value in high-priced brands
it does not follow that cheaper
brands are not as good, provid-
ing you understand the reason
,for the difference in price. For
instance , you are using very
poor judgment when you buy
the highest priced Salmon and
at the same time buy the cheap-
est canned Vegetables you can
find.
There is just as much nour-
•dshment in a. tin of Salmon that
you pay 28c or 30e for as there
is in the kind you pay 50c for.
While the cheaper grades of
Corn, for instance, have more
shredded cob in them than corn.
