In supporting this state- ment, there is no reflection cast upon the value of medicines. There are 'a few drugs which we might say are worth their weight in gold because ,of their value in treatment of certain diseases. Their value depends, how- ever, upon their proper use. They must be taken atcertain times and in quantites suitable to each case . The . evil that exists and the evil from which a great deal of actual fiarm results is the taking of medi- cine, self -ordered, with the idea that ,the bottle of medicine will cure dis= .ease, when what is required is •a =change in the manner of life. If the -diet is faulty, if there is insufficient. 'exercise taken, if the body or mind requires rest, these needs, without which the sufferer feels a lack of health, are not to be overcome by his taking one or more bottles of _medicine. ., The fundamental problem of health is to secure the proper nutrition of the body. This means that the fol- lowing must' receive attention—food, fresh air, and sunlight, exercise and rest, `' and cleanliness. No one of these can be neglected if the health ,of the body is to be maintained. It is practically useless to think of one without the other. Neglect of any one of them impairs the health of the person who is careless. Neglect in such cases means abuse, and, while it is true that the human body will. stand considerable strain, it will not permit of abuse. Neglect of one or more of . the laws of health means lack of bodily harmony, or disease of the body. Health or harmony. cannot be restored by taking a bottle of medicine, when it is the manner of living which needs to be corrected. Prevention lies in the removal of the cause, which, in such cases, is neglect of the body needs. Question, concerning Hearth, ad- dressed to the Canadian Medical As- sociation, 184 College Street, Toron- to, will be answered personally by letter. A PERSON It must be a source of great satis- faction to hundreds of thousands in Canada and elsewhere to learn from a recent decision of the Privy Coun- cil that a woman is legally technical- ly and every other way a `PERSON.' She has been designated atvarious ions time as an angel, a darling, a sweetheart, a wife, mother, a help- mate, a delightful nuisance and the poets in their flights of imagery have described her as everything from an angel to a, "rag and a bone and a hank of hair." Now it is definitely settled by the highest court in the land that she is also a PERSON. Wash Day Is Easy Now Particularly if you have a modern Connor Elec- tric Washer in your home.

Dear Friends:— We e your friends and neighbors, having learned with deep regret that you are soon to depart from amongst. us, have gathered this evening to ex- press our appreciation of the service you have rendered this community during the long time that you have resided here. Through the varying experiences of life we have found you ever ready to advance the •general welfare of the community. In times of sickness or bereavement you al- ways -did what you could to help those suffering or in sorrow. Your home has ever been open for us to come to and spend a social evening. How often we have gone away cheer- ed and helped by one evening spent in this home with its Christian at- mosphere. Be assured of this, that the friendships formed here have been abiding and will long be remem- bered with pleasant recollections. Your departure will be a decided loss to us bui we trust that what will be our loss will be others' gain. We ask you, Mr. and Mrs, O'Cal- lahan, to accept this tea service as a slight effort on our part to express in some tangible way our apprecia- tion of your worth. It is. our sincere wish that you both be long spared to use them. And Frank, please accept this ring and tiepin, and Madeline, this per- fume atomizer, as a slight token of our esteem for you both, and may you likewise long be blessed with health .to use them. Signed, Wm. Donnelly, D. H. Martin, Jas. Martin. Mr. John Webster then was called on, and told of the old family neigh- bors, and old well -remembered good times in which the families had par- ticipated ar ticipated and regretted the removal of this esteemed family from our midst. The evening was spent in pleasant chat and lunch was served. Mr. O'Callahan is holding his sale next Wednesday, after which he and Mrs. O'CalIahan are going to Green- ock for the winter. Mrs. Ed. Mon- ahan and children of Detroit, were at the old home this week. REV. DR. PERRIE WAS CORDIALLY WELCOMED Rev. Dr. Perrie, the. fifty-fifth oc- cupant of the Moderator's Chair of the General Assembly of the Presby- terian Church in Canada, was a pas- senger on the S.S. Ascania arriving in Quebec Sunday. He was one of four Commissioners appointed at the General Assembly held in Ottawa in June last, to convey greetings to the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland and the United Free Church of Scotland on their re -union consu- mated in Edinburgh, Scotland on the second of October inst. ' A hearty and cordial reception was accorded the representatives of Canadian Pties- byterianism at that great historic gathering of over twelve thousand ministers and elders, which was simp- ly a coming together again of two Churches holding the same Faith, Doctrine, and Church Government, but estranged for over three fourths of a century on a few minor differ- ences. ' The home corning of Dr. Perrie was greatly saddened by news of the death of Mrs.. Petrie which - occur* ed on Friday' last after a short ill- ness, and which was sympathetically conveyed to him on arrival by the Rev. Dr. Love and, ' another friend. .Reference was made to the sad event by Rev. Dr, Gordon at the morning service in St. Andrew's Church on Sunday and sympathy expressed for the bereaved, Dr, Petrie left at onee for his home in Wingham, Ont., where he has ministered most suc- cessfully to the sante congregation for thirty-five years.—Quebec Tele- graph, STRAYED--..Froin-lot 1Z, concession C, Turnberry, about the end of Jttly, a yearling heifer, Pinder ' please notify ,Pdward Bennett, Wroxeter Phone, WINGHAM AD'V'ANCE -TIMES Thursday, NeiMr/Liaer 7th, 1[01.0 iIREE I r$ GREATEST' MVO. Membership of the flouzle of Com- mons Carries Many Fivileges, The British x ot..ze of Commpne Is not only the centre of the Empire, it is also one of the best. clubs in the world, The "club" side of Parliament was formerly open, throughout his life, to anyone•who had once been a mens ber. He .could dine in the House din- ing -room without being the guest of a member, use the library, and so on. This was altered twenty -.three years ago, when the general election resulted in so many new members be- ing returned, and so many old. ones Rasing their seats, that it was feared the place would become too congest- ed if ex-M,P,'s were' allowed to retain their old privileges. Now, however, a number of former members are agitating for the restor- ation of the old rule. Perhaps the old fear of congestion that prevailed in 1906 will defeat them; but against this there Is the fact that a number of ex -members would probably use the privilege very little. As a club, Parliament is the same strange mixture. of ancient and mod- ern as it is in its procedure. Quill pens and wafers are still` supplied in the library; and the Commons door- keeper keeps an official snuffbox, from which members may help them- selves as they pass in and out of the chamber. The kitchen, of course, is famous wand it can supply the most simple as well as the most elaborate repasts. But perhaps the favorite Parliamen- tary meal is tea on the Terrace, where • members entertain their friends during the summer months. One interesting point about the House 18 the fact that, although it has a refreshment bar where drinks are supplied, it has no license for the sale of alcohol; it doesn't need one. This is because the Houses of Par- liament stand on the site of a former royal residence, and the building is . still the Royal Palace of Westmin- ster. The licensing laws, which are strictly enforced all over the country, do not.apply to a royal palace. Being a member of the British Par- liament Is still an expensive business, though members do get £400 a year. This salary also has its roots in the past. Though the present payment to members is comparatively modern, in the Middle Ages the constituencies paid "wages" to their representa- tives. S'PING OUT THE SEA. Carolina Grasses are Helping to Save Coast of England. Nearly sixty years ago, a new plant began to grow in Southampton Wat- er, and it was found to be a sea -grass native of the coast of Carolina. Unlike most of our unwanted im- migrants, says an Old Country per- iodical, eriodical, this grass has proved of im- mense value in binding our muddy foreshores. It is now found from Poole Harbor to Chichester, and has been brought to the Suffolk coast, where it Is being planted to bind the soft mud on the estuaries of the Stour and the Blackwater. Most of us have read of the dread- ful destruction of Cullin on the Mo- ray Firth by sand dunes. The whole barony, including the Manor House and the great pine woods, has been completely .swamped by huge drifts of blown sand. The cause, says a chronicle of two hundred years ago, was never a mystery, for "it was mainly occasioned by the pulling up of roots of bent, juniper and broom bushes which did loosen and break tiroNiels.surface and scroff of the sand " They were pulled, up for thatching, and caused the utter loss of two thou- sand acres of tette country. Scottish law now protects these plants, and the bylaws of some Eng- lish coastal districts also protect. rarram. Karram is the best of all sand -binders, for the peculiar proper- ty of this grass is that it will not Sourish unless continually covered with fresh sand. All of which reveals that some peo- ple are alive' to the necessity of sav- ing England from the sea. FENCES VANISEGNG. Bushes Replacing Walls on Dividing Lines In England. One of the many changes noted by overseas visitors to the Old Country is the growing beauty of English gardens. A tour through residential districts formerly revealed high walls, :un- sightly fences, and tall .railings, be- hind which were many beautiful gar- dens that were hidden from the pub- lic gaze. Now in many of the new areas in the suburbs front gardens are divided by low hedges or ower borders, and he lower fences and vanished walls give the gardens the appearanceof flowering boulevards. New streets have the appearance of an extensive garden landscape. Soule gardens appear to be divided only by borders of geraniums or other flower - tug plants. This is certainly a re- markable change compared with the gardens Of thirty years ago. Bathing vs. Hunting. According to recent statistics, it is more dangerous to take a bath time to go hunting. A recent compilation of statidties by a well-known insur- ance company shows that damage er claims were paid on :1,655 automobile for accidents, 630 people fell downstairs, 31 fell in the bathtub, and 16 were Sly Injured by firearms.

CS 0 e Using the Wrong Word Rev.. John Graham writes to the Owen Sound. Sun -Times that it is using the word "temperance" when quite clearly from the tenor of the article it should use the word "pro- hibition." "This is all the more re- grettable," he says, "since there are many around the country who do' not understand 'the difference between temperance and prohibition and who think that the two words are synon- ymous, Now I have always been, and' I am today, a prohibitionist. 1 can say that were all' the people in the province like myself, then intoxicat- ing liquor would not even be manu- factured. Prohibition, however, is an ideal, the condition that those whom we ''think of as being ,the best, and noblest amongst us would like to see prevail, if the Government n t er w e legis- lating for me and for many like my- self they would bring in a prohibi- tion measure. But the present gov- ernment, as any government in pow - would have to do, must legislate the Province, Were the Progres- e or Liberal party in power to- crow morning they could not give', prohibition, nay, they dare not be - use it would not work. The dif- ferent Provincial Governmentsin turn had to fall back on government control because prohibition was ruin- ing •the provinces, Let us get this clear in our mind, that we :are not 'slating for an ideal Province, but the Province of Ontario as it is ay. .: This brings me to my last nt, naively, that prohibition is a moral question, and being so it is "I1uxiibug+" Pew people who use the *word "humbug" So glibly realize 'that it is a corruption of the name of a 'rell- nevvii G.irinan port, But years ftgo, wizen wars were eomnztn en AO eon- tinent, so many false reports came ICg Crain Hamburg that People need to for .,ay sceptleally, "That is 111a iburgt" tod so "Hamburg" beca'fte Corrupted iia- poi to"hunxbug.;" : The Good Looks That Bespeak Quality FINEST leather —s finest 1j' materials = finest work manship result in fine appear- ance.

Pinkerton, from drowning at Stoney Lake on May 31st last. The young people were crossing the lake, about two miles wide at this point, when their canoe swamped in the heavy sear Mrs. Burnham heard tire cries of distress and, unaided, got a skiff from the boat house and made for the scene, some half mile or more from her cottage. She found the young man practically unconscious and suffering from cramps, in the canoe, where he had been pulled by Babette, while the girl was just about all in, clinging to the stern of the canoe. Undoubtedly Babette's ability as a paddler and swimmer, saved a tragedy, but her acts in no way les- sen the courage and resourcefulness of Mrs. Burnham, who faced real dan- ger in setting out single-handed to the rescue. Church. Instead of clergymen find- ing fault with the government, as the time goes by, they should be gradually bringing their people to that point where. the people of the Province would say, we want ,prohi- bition, and they would get it because it would 'then be a success. Until that day comes prohibition will not work.' Therefore the sane and sensi- ble thing to do, is to have a govern- ment control act and like every othet act to have it amended from time to time to meet the desires of the people. VALOR RECOGNIZED Mrs, George Burnham, of Toronto, has been granted a parchment 'certi- ficate by the Board' of Investigating Governors of the Royal Canadian Hu- mane Society for rescuing Babette.
