The Price of Women's .Coats with Fur ' Collars Much Less!Than You Expected to Pay Dozens of Women have voluntarily remarked that the prices we are asking for our Coats are away below what they would expect to pay for Coats with the Quality and Beauty you find in\ our new stock. We are prepared for the biggest coat trade in our history. We have bought the best coats and plenty of them. We have marked them specially for a small profit and a big turn over. AT $18 WOMEN'S COATS Made of all Wool Brown Velour with deep self collar trimmed with fancy buttons and embroidery. New narrow . belt half lined with fancy mercerized lining.

PRICE $25.00 The New Fall and Winter OVERCOATS For Men and Boys ENTIRELY DIFFERENT IN STYLE DON'T buy your New Fall or Winter Overcoat without first seeing the New Styles we are showing. They are such a radical change from the last few seasons. The plaid backed cloth in the Winter Coats is particularly good weight, lending itself admirably to the requirements of our Canadian Winters. They come in grey, grey green, brown, fawn and heather mixtures. Come in and slip one on, feel the cozy comfort, sense the dressy, smart appearnce, and get a pleasant surprise at their reasonable price. Men's and Boys' FALL SUITS Better Cloth Made Better. A GOOD gUIT must have good cloth and be well made. The shape of a suit depends on the make. The shape of a suit is the style of the suit. Out of shape—out of style. You can wear one of our Suits out without making any concessions to appearance because the Suit keeps its shape to the end. You will find hereof only the very best Suits possible to get for either man or boy, but you will find a variety of styles and colors to choose from that will ensure you' getting a suit to please you at a price you wish to pay. $ to $15 s en Boys 54.95 toy $15 prlces--M '35 $18 to $35 Stewart Bros:, Seaforth iv r A -1,00, i, .

Two boys, fresh from a city school of two atoms and ten t rooms, found it a bit different. As I look back over the year, small as was that old log schopl, it turned out men and women worth while—a greater percentage than did the city school of ten rooms. I know, because I browse 'round a bit in the haunts of boyhdod. When I'm in London, my native town, I visit an old desIf- mate of the 10 -roomed school, nowa Forest City business man. We light our pipes and talk over old school days and the boys and girls of the other day that made up its classes. Alas, one or two fell by the wayside —boys of that 10 -roomed school. But I must pass on, for a recital would be of no interest to an Expos;tor reader. Besides, I have long since learned as a writing man, that mor- bid stuff should have no place in the press. We learn nothing from it, perhaps it does harm, for the half- baked mind puts those who have fallen on a high pedestal. This is no paradox. Good citizens know it, as well as we of the press. Then to the brighter and better side—of those who passed through the old log school. Hughie Sproat, John's boy, had a contract splitting the wood for the box stove. Hughie was a forward-looking lad. At noon hour and at recess, he cracked up the wood—and others helped. A lad then of but twelve years. I was un- acquainted with Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn, late of Hannibal, Missouri. Nor did I know that Tom's aunt made him whitewash the fence as a punishment for a misdeed. Tom turned his misfortune into profit. While Tons sat on the sidewalk, his chums exchanged fish hooks, marbles, one -bladed jack knives and second hand teeth for the privilege of wield- ing the whitewash brush. To make a long story not so long, there was something magnetic about Hughie's axe. The other fellows split a lot of the wood, and didn't dig up a fish hook or a marble for the privilege. It may have been industry and boy- ish energy. I have a hunch that it was a display to catch the eye of favorite lasses in the old school, and because there was half a school filled with them, Hughie had lots of help. It's a long while since I have been on the third concession at Sproat's sideroad, where stood the old school. I'm drawing on memory, but the best of us forget. So if 1 pass over any of my old school friends, it is a case of mental aberration, not intentional A little boy stands out from the yesterday. He had a particularly long shaped head, and when the old- er boys joked with him, he'd growl a bit like a Scotch terrier. In my boyhood mind I felt that he wo'tld get ,somewhere, for he was an out- standing little shaver, of a lot of common sense. I'm tickled when I read of his successes in The Expositor for he was that Little fellow who's growl was always followed by a smile. We'll go east long the 3rd conces- sion and start with Leonard Shoul- dice.. I know that one of his girls came to school that winter, perhaps two, I'm not sure. Then there were the Quinlan's. The next were Sam Wallace's boys and girls. Joe, the eldest, I well renumber. Next farm oau that side of the road was Mr. Burgess', a good few came from there. I have forgotten their Christ- ian names. The adjoining farm was Parker's, young Tom I remember well. Across from the school was the Archibald farm, Andrew and James. and a sister. The next farm was James Pickard's, and Lottie, the only daughter, was a scholar. Next place, my grandfather's, and where brother Jack and myself came from.. West across the side road on the third con- cession was Henry Chesney's. Dave I remember and J think a younger brother and two sisters. West again was Hugh Chesney's; face, who help- ed the writer of this greatly with his lessons in arithmetic, William James and a sister. From the Kippen road corner came the Leatherlands, Emma and her sister and brother, Edward. Mrs. John Murray, of Egmondville, a sister, tells me "Ent," out Vancouver way,, clips the old-time stuff I write. Alice Nichols, a cousin of Billy Steets, came from the opposite cor- ner. Then, coming east again, John Renikie's children and Jim and Bob Doig. From the fourth concession came W. Murray's boys and girls, Bob, Charlie, Philip and a sister; Joe Keating and his brothers, and I think that "Laidlaw fellow," who wrote mighty fine letters and poety from Sacramento, California. There were also the Armstrongs; Charlie, I re- member distinctly, his sisters not so well. Mrs. George Sills, of Seaforth, now a grandmother, was a pupil of the old log school. Sproat'a sideroad comes next in this long letter. So I'll light up the corn- cob again before I proceed. A feller needs a smoke to brighten up on. But all smokes were not that way. Once when attending the old log school I surreptitously got ahold of a new clay pipe and some 'tobacco. The new clay started steaming -near Wm.

My stomach was doing things in a heaving way, and I repeatedly said, "If I ever get over this I'll never tackle a clay pipe again." To put it plainly, I was sick as a bow -bow, and worse than that. Hughie Sproat and his youngest sister; two of Wm. Shouldice's boys; Susie and Fannie Oldfield; James, Sam and Billie McGeoch, were the sideroad representatives at the old log school. Somehow" or other I imagined Geo. .Jameson, the teacher, never figured me very high. In fact, he plainly in- timated so one day when he made me do a bit of sleight-of-hand work be- fore the whole school. Perhaps others calculated as my old teacher did. Just a word or two. For the last 25 years the greater portion of my working days have been at a writing man's desk. I have written for other papers besides two of my own. Edi- tors of 187 weeklies and monthlies and 65 dailies, from the Dawson City News across Canada to the Halifax Herald, have pass -ed my words on to their readers, as well as have 18 dailies in the United States. What proof have I of this? The press clipping bureaux have supplied the information. I take a good deal of pride and satisfaction out of them. 1 have not reached the pinnacle of success I have set for my- self. But nothing succeeds like success. So I'll strive on. The above record, however, does not say that I'm a misfit in life, and that's some satisfaction to one who has faithfully and conscientiously tried to do his bit. Old school mates, boys and girls, the corn cob is' empty. Au revoir. BILL POWELL. KEEI' CHILDREN HEALTHY This has been our slogan for thirty- five years. I knew the handicap of an unhealthy inheritance ---the child of a consumptive father and a very delicate mother; both sick because they did not know. To keep a child healthy you must begin with its parents. As "like be- get like," it is all important. that par- ents not only be congenial spirits, but sound in body and mind. God is the giver of the Spirit, that is, the intelli- gent, thinking reasoning spirit. being. The body is the house in which the Spirit dwells. The soul is the life of the flesh, for "the blood is the life of all flesh." Our parents are the makers of our physical bodies. The blood is made from the food we eat and the water we drink, and purified, oxygenized and vitalized by the air we breathe. Parents must not only obey the laws of nature governing their being, but should conscientiously observe the law given to all Israel; see Stat- ute Book, Lev. 16, so that the child may inherit its birth right, and be perfected by the mother's knowledge of pre natal conditions. Next it must have natural food, and it can if the mother knows the secret of sim- ple, natural living and does it. Infant bowel troubles are caused by the mother's i11 condition, impro- per food, and lack of water. Why does the babe have to be dosed with bowel correctives when the kitten, calf, puppy and colt all eat the same natural food. and have no need of a cathartic? They have a better time than the baby. Why? Because the animals are true to their instinctive nature, while man, the highest and noblest of all creation, made "in the image and after the likeness" of his is not tt'ue to either instincted with non-eeeenti.rM. `, AM, we *11= Ing to add another useless wand lack of knowledge • and he qi out of our taxes? to .ply the lawo huan �� lett of living well mand U�, Oct. 2, 1822. 9.

Huron County is being canvassed to furnish a number of nurses with a nice little -Mi ry of one thousand per year, and a few hundred, extra by way of travelling expense, with the various school rooms as places for demonstrating their skid. Now, when, have the people of Huron County ever suffered from the scarcity of doctors and nurses. They are present in every town, ready to serve .to the utmost extent of our pocketbooks. Are the nurses now being offered to us by the wholesale more proficient, or are they just playing into the hands of the local doctors—one of whom has confessed that they are putting money into his pockets in great big rolls, and that many of the, children sent to him have no need of his service. But, he added, "You can't say anything, as you have to keep in with the nurses." The argument used by the canvas- sers is such as to terrorize the peo- ple with the dire calamities to follow if the children's teeth, throat and ears are not examined by the nurses. If said nurses will guarantee to cor- rect the works of Nature to such an extent as to keep Old Man Death out of business for a couple of hun- dred years until the price of coffins become reduced a bit, there might be some excuse for their plea. But what do we really get for the money paid them? Nothing more than an opin- ion offered, which may or may not agree with that of the local physician they recommend. Are we, the people of old Huron, going to continue to act the part of the door mat and let every new in- novation walk right over us, or have we got enough red blood in- our veins to stand up for ourselves. Our school systems are already clog - HURON NOTES —Mr. James Roberts, who has con. ducted the Commercial House in Blyth since last fall, left on Thursday last for ,,Midland,where he will take .s hotel.

Young Elwood was driving and was accompanied by several others when they met another car which carried bright lights which blinded the driver so that he lost control of his car and it took the ditch and he received fatal injuries. The young man was unmarried. The remains were inter- red in British Columbia. —On Wednesday evening of last week at 4 p.m. there assembled a goodly crowd at the basement of the new parish hall in Dungannon to wit- ness the laying of the new corner stone by John 'Joynt, M.P.P., for; North Huron. Mr. Joynt, being the first speaker, expressed his pleasure at being present on such an import- ant occasion. He reviewed the pro- gress that had been made since the pioneer days and the pos'►ilities in store' for men and wombn with a broad vision. He considered that the building in operation would he a last- ing monument to those who made the effort to erect it, and would be of great value, not only to the church but to the community. Mr. George Spotton, of Wingham, spoke at length in a very eloquent and pleasing man- ner. Rev. Thomas Hicks, of Paisley, a former pastor of this charge, was present and spoke briefly. Rev: W. Hawkins, of Blyth, also took part in the ceremony. At the conclusion of the speaking, lunch was served.

ALBERT E. SMITH presents "From the Manger to the Cross." In presenting any sacred theme—on canvas, the stage or in mo- tion pictures—the work must be approached with reverence, truth- fulness and completeness worthy the exalted aspiration, and this is particularly true when the Christ is the central figure. In the mak- ing of the wonder picture, "From the Manger to the Cross," and its presentation to the public, the producers kept this truth constantly in mind. The tremendous undertaking was approached with a pro- found consciousness of responsibility. The result is a picture, a mas- terpiece that has won the universal commendation and praise of the Church, the Clergy and the layman. Matinee 4.15 p.m. Evening 8.15 p m. Adults 25c, Children 15e.
