McKILLOP 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 $2,000, It Will. "I wish how," said the lecturer, "to tax your memory. A wail in the audience:, "Has it come to that?" Seaforth S1BAIFO ffT}1 ONTARIO, THUR$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 by one sister, Miss Annie Fox, Sea - forth, he being the last of seven bro- thers .10 the family. Two nephews, Messrs. David Gribben, Detroit, and Wm. J. Matthew, Seaforth, also sur- vive. The funeral was held on Monday morning at 9 o'clock from St. James' church to the place of interment in St. Columban cemetery, Rev. Father, Goetz conducting the services. THE LATE MRS. WHITESMITH. 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. -The funeral was held on Monday, Rev.•,.R. Fulton Irwin officiating. In- terment took place to Oakwood cem- etery.. MADE $58.50.

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 CLOSE CALL4 Mr. J. D. Gemmell, of Tuckersmith, met with a nasty accident on Friday last while feeding a bull. The animal 'attacked' him •and he was later found lying unconscious in the stable by a member of the family. Medical aid was promptly summon- ed and it was found that his ankle was broken and he had received an ugly wound in the head.• Mr. Gemmell's many friends will be Whether the corn be of old or new pleased to learn that his condition' is growth, it trust yield to Holloway's improving.

Your Food Bill is the biggest Item on your Household Account. Food Is The Most Important •material thing that enters your 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- ing the Food for your family is of far more importance, as far as their r f uturee H alth is concerned, c red than your efficiency any other of your household duties. 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. Do You Know What the Baking Powder you use has to do with the Keeping Qual- ities of your Cake? Do You Know What the Cheaper Grades of Molasses mostly consist of? When You Buy a Package of Tea, do you know what the container costs you? When You Buy a 15 -cent package of Soda Bis- cuits, s doyou know if are you getting a pound or half a pound of Biscuits, Let Your Grocer Advise You.
