THE TOWN DOCTOR
(The Doctor of Towns)
Says
"TRY THE HOME FOLKS FIRST"
The idea that buying in the big city is a saving, is not always
correct. Years ago, this was true -before the day of standardized
when'operating a store was 90% buying and 10% sell-
ing;
i g,
ing; in days when a storekeeper. bought a six months'' stock at one
time, and before the present transportation systems and distribution
methods were existent, Then, there was no question but what one
could purchase newer, more up-to-date and perhaps better the merchan-
dise in cit and for lessbut it's. : different now.
x,
The truth of the matter is that standardized merchandising,
and that is the only kind of merchandise in which to invest, can be
sold, and in millions of cases is being sold'for less money in towns
away from big Cities,
'
That you, can buy for less in a big city, or that anarticle
or thing purchased in the city is any better,, is mostly all in your
mind—a fact once but a myth now. But the city merchants are
,
wise business men, and they have purposely let the old idea prevail,
in fact, have done much to encourage you to continue to think along
the lines of "what used to be."' And why shouldn't they? It is good
business—on their part. But there is many a city merchant who
laughs up his sleeve when you buy from him the very same thing
that you could' 1iaVe purchased at 'home, for less money.
Recently, I asked a city merchant: "Why, should a resident
of 1.31ankville buy from you?" His reply was;: "We make them like
it," and that is all he would say. When asked if he sold, for less,
he said: "I'd rather not discuss that subject,"
As long as there are towns and cities and people in ,them,
there will always be certain ones who will think that in order to be
somebody, and have something to talk about, in ..order to "lord" it
over others, to be different from what they term the plebian multi-
tuck, they have to go to some other city to buy. People who live in
Blankville go to Oshkosh; those in .Oshkosh go to Milwaukee; Mil-
kaukeeians go to Chicago; Chicagoites go to New York; New York-
ers go,to '.Paris—so these, people have gone and are going, but every
day, more and more thinking people are awakening to the fact that
far
it's all poppy code as as values are concerned.
City people --thousands of then—are driving to smaller com-
munities to purchase everything from edibles, clothing and furniture
to luxuries, and •they are baying these things at -a saving, Don't be
"con'tetnptuously familiar„ with the advantages your own stores of-
fer . you—do .not ""stand so close to 'the picture, that yott cannot sce
the frame"—it is to the advantage o.f, your pocket book, evidence of
good judgment, andto the advantage of your community, which is
your advantage, to buy where you live, work, play and make your
lion ey,

READING THE BIBLE.'
"And all t14e people gathered them-
selves together as one than."—Since
the wall was finished on the twenty-
fifth day of the sixth month (Neh,
6:15), the month Elul, the events of
our lesson probably occurred immed-
iately afterward:' ""Into the broad
Place that was before the water gate."
—The "broad place" was an open
efiiare insige the: wall to the west of
'this gate. "And they spake unto Ez
ra, the scribe to bring the book of
the law of Moses."—"They" were pro-
bably the entire people, speaking
through their leaders. "Which Jeho-
vah had commanded to Israel."—It
was not as man's book, but as God's
book, that .Ezra presented the Bible
to the great congregation.
"And Ezra' the priest brought the
law before the assembly." -It was in
the form of a long strip of parch-
ment, on two rollers so that it could
be transferred from one -•to theother
from right to left, the coluinns of
writing, which ran transverse to the
length of the roll, being sucessively
exposed. "Both men and women."—
The women usually secluded, wish-
ed to hear the sacred oracle as well
as the men. "And all that couldhear
with. understanding." All children
old enough to comprehend the read-
ing. "Upon the first day:. of the
seventh mouth."—The Jewish anonths
began With each new moon, the day
of the new moon, being observed as
a holiday.
"And he read therein before. the
broad place that 'was before the water
gate."—That is, Ezra stood, on the
western side of the square eastward
to .the water gate. 'Prorn early morn-•
ing until midday." -At midday "the
excessive heat made further standing
in the open impracticable. Most Or-
ientals have about this time of day
a long siesta," "In the presence o
the men and the women, and of thos
that could understand."—The Bible
school was six or seven hours long,
and yet degenerate moderns think
that half an hour a week is alt the
time we can give to Bible study in
the church! "And the ears of all
the people were attentive unto the
book of the law."—Attention is the
first essential of learning. Many a
well-disposed scholar supposes he is
attentiveto the teaching and his
teacher supposes him to be so, when
in fact his attention is not on the
lesson, nor on its attempted teach-
ing.'
"And Ezra opened the book (that
is, unrolled it) in the sight of all the
people (for ane was above all the
people)," -That is, raised above them
on the platform. "And when he op-
ened it, 'all the people stood up."—
"The Jews commonly sat to hear and
stood to pray; but in hearing they
occasionally stood up, to do greater
honor to the person or the occasion.
"And Ezra blessed Jehovah the
great God:"—This pioneer • Bible
school opened with prayer, and the
custom has been maintained ever sin-
ce. "And all the people answered,
Amen, Arisen, with the lifting up of
theirhands."—"Amen," meaning • "as-
suredly," was repeated in the fervor
of the people's assent to the prayer,
which also was testified by their up-
lifted hands. "And they, bowed their
heads, and worshipped Jehovah with
their faces. tp , the ground."—They
bent over, their heads held ]tow in
token of profound adoration.
"And they read in the book, in the
law of God, distinctly."—Reading a-
loud is a fine art, and especially as
it applies to the ,Scripture.

the ..people, many of whom 'were.
brought in contact for the first time'
with the pure and holy standards of
God's law, were filled with an awed
sense of their sinfulness and burst
forth in weeping,' which could not be
restrained. •
"Then he said unto them.,"—"He"
is either or Ezra, probably
the latter, as he is conspicuous
throughout the episode, and what is
said would come most likely from a
priest rather than a layman. "°Go
your way, eat the fat, and drink the.
sweet.”—That is, eat aid drink of the
best, a proverbial exptession signi-
fying "Make merry.” "And send por-
tions unto him for whom nothing. is
prepared."—In modern times dinners
are given to the poor and baskets of.
food sent them on Thanksgiving 1:)ay
and Christmas especially, "Forthis
day is holy'unto our Lord,"—To be
kept sacred with thoughts of him,
which should be joyful, and not with
.selfish thoughts of one's own woe.
"Neither be ye grieved; for the joy
of Jbhovah is your strength.”—This
beautiful sentence is, literally, "De-
light in Jehovah is a strong refuge,"
"So the Levites stilled all the peo
ple."—Ezra's words were repeated.
by the Levites in the different• parts
of the crowd, just as the words of.
the Bible had been. "Saying, Hold
your peace, for the day is holy; neith-
er be ye grieved."—They were to
cease their loud weeping and wail-
ing,. for they were really, in a sense,
treasonable to God, just as inordin-
ate grief is in us.
'And all the people went their way
to eat, and to drink, and to sends por-
tions, and to make; great mirth." --
The
The way of looking at eating 'and
drinking and the like, as capable of
being made acts of worship, has been
too often forgotten by two kinds of
inen—saints who have sought sanc-
tifying ascetism; and senstialists who
have taken deep, draughts of pleasures
without calling on the name of the
Lord, and so have Ifailed to find His
gifts a cup of salvation. "Because
they had understood the words that
were declared unto them,"—The bet-
ter we understand the Word of God,
the more comfort we shall find in it.
BLAZE NEAR FORDWICH
Fred A; Woncls who resided on the
fourth concession of Howick, about
three miles .from Forclwich, ,had the
misfortune to have his fine bank barn
destroyed by fire Monday noon, to-
gether with the season's crap of hay
and grain, twenty-five Pigs, sonic of
which were ready for .market, his
drive, shed 'and most of his
imple-
ments. Threshing was in progress
when the fire was, noticed on the roof
and before it could be extinguished
it had burned through into a mom
of grain, All hands- then turned to
saving the.separator belonging to An-
drew . Darcey,' but owing to the wind
blowing across the gangway it soon
became too hot for the tied to get
close enough to' get it to safety and
it too was destroyed.
While several of the inen were on
the roof, the fire burned off the barn
doors and ladder and they fotitid it
necessary to drop from the roof to
the hard ground, When a few received l
mi.tior. injuries, It is understood little '•
or no insurance was carried and both
Mr, Woods and Mr, Darcey will be
heavy losers.'

SCHOOL DESTROYED BY FIRE'
The Public School at Eadie's, about
six miles :from Teeswater, was des-
troyed by fire on Friday morning
about 2 o'clock. The building was
on the 9th concession of Turnberry
Township, The cause of the blaze is
a mystery. Children of this section
attending school are scarce, only 5
being enrolled at this teaching centre
last year. However eVen for this
number, it will be necessary to build✓
a new school or find a suitable pIace•
for educational purposes. Miss Mc-
Clennen, Teeswater, wad teacher at.
this school last year and was in read.-
iness to commence duties for the pinn-
ing
onsing school year, which opened on Tu-
esday. The loss to the section will
be about . $2,000, possible partially
covered by insurance.
