One IViember Dead and Qne a scriber
of I'*rilanrent
The December session of the county
council opened on Tuesday afternoon
with the singing of "fraise God` from
Whom all Blessings Flaw" in recognition
of the close of the war.
Warden l;fliott in his opening address.
said he was very glad to meet all the
councillors again with the exception of
Reeve. Taylor, who -had met so sudden a
death, By his courteousness, his ability,
and his gentlemanly manner he had en-
deared himself to everyone
For over four years the county and the
whole world at large had been fighting for
honor and for right and freedom and we
had won. He had often thought . when
tie war' started that it looked as if the
enemy was going to march right tnrough
the Allied countries but there • always
seemed to be something that stopped
them, and the Warden said, "I can at-
tribute it to nothing else than that there
was an over -ruling Providence."
Another pleasant feature was that when
trouble came to the Motherland Canada
at once went to her assistance, and when-
ever there was a call for money the
county council, to a man, united to grant
it, and no other county could point the
finger of scorn and say that we had done
anything but our duty,
Now that the war was over the Govern-
ment was malting preparation, in fact had
been for two years, to deal with the re-
turned soldier, finding 'him new occupa-
tion, settling him on land if he wanted to
become a farmer, etc. And the placing
of returned soldiers was to become a
greater problem than the fighting. There
never was a time when we required bigger
men for our township councils. Our
county councillors were always men of abil,
ity who were in the best position to advise
the Government. And our ,county conn,
cil had a duty to do in seeing that our
soldiers aro properly treated.
Passing to other matters, the Warden
eaid that quite a few bridges had been
built in the County of Huron, and the
Dungannon bridge was one of the best
pieces of cement work in the Province of
Ontario. There was a splendid structure
in the Township of Stephen. The bridge
east of Wingham was awaitingsteel. The
abutments were completed.
Another pleasing feature was the estab-
lishment of the two Provi{acial County
Roads in Huron, The Deputy Minister
had arranged to have the road from the
south up to Clinton and Goderich made a
Proviucial highway and the road south
from Getlerich, making a sort of loop, but
the Warden said he felt this would not be
fair to the north of the county and urged
very strongly on the Deputy Minister that
the London road right through to the
north boundary of the county and the
Huron road, should be made Provincial
county roads, and as a good many por-
tions of these roads were the town line be-
tween townships, the cost and construc-
tion and upkeep of these roads only meant
20 per cent. from each township, the Gov-
ernment paying 60 per cent. of the cost.
"There is no reason why the County of
Huron cannot have the best roads in the
Province," said the Warden, We have
the material and we have the men and we
have the engineer."
Mr. Elliott bespoke for Capt. G. C.
Coles, who was present to address the
council in behalf of the Navy League, a
generous response. It war the navy to
which we owed our very existence in the
war,
Another matter for which we had cause
to be pleased was that the Children's
Shelter was to be opened at this session.
It was a really nice, comfortable, well -
located building.
The Matter of a soldier's monument was
also mentioned by the Warden. He did
not believe in any small cheap affair for a
monument, either erect good monument
that we would be proud of or join with
Western Ontario and erect something
worth while in the way of a hospital or
other public building, a

faced it. "Would he like it." Even to
herself she hesitated to call his name.
For before all others she wished to
appear fair in his sight. She gave no
thought to other guests who would
come from Georgetown, Alexandria,
Baltimore and Annapolis on horseback
and in great coaches, drawn by four
horses. Four horses were always used

lived a long way from Upper Marl-

There was the chance her father would

Ibleenor's benvy heart lightened af-

ter hearing this and she took her full
share of the gayety that tilled every
minute of the day and evening. Al-
though no coquette, as were some of
the other pretty cousins, tune did not

all but came to blows in their effort to
win her favor.
But mistress Eleanor minded not

underneath her pleasure was the hope
john hlversdeld would also find her
good to look upon. Yet, when they
left the house, early on account of the
roads, he had not come, and there was
a tiny misglviiag lest he might not be
in time to see her int the wonderful
gown or to claim the minuet he had
begged for.
Ruth pinched her as she was about
to step into the carriage, whispering,.
as she handed her a smell package
"I wonder if you can guess what this

giving the girl a push, Ruth stepped
into her place and gave back tit for

an explanation of Eleanor's sudden dine
appearance. •
And in her room the girl was looking
with fluctuating color upon a pearl -en-
circled miniature while she opened
with fingers that trembled the note
twisted about the slender golden chain.
There was only a line, but it made of
life a beautiful thing,efor It asked for
that which she was glad to give.
Over and over she read the single
line : "Dear, will yon wear this far my
sake? john." Then she slipped it
Into the bosom of leer dress. With hes-
itating fingers she clasped the chain
about her neck, but overcome by mod-
esty at so flaunting her lover's minia-
ture for curious eyes to look upon, she
hid it among the ruffles of her gown
and hastily ran down the stalks, a radi-
ant thing that took away one's breath,
Measure after measure was danced
before John Eversileld appeared that
night, and when he came, one arm was
in a sling. "An accident," he told them
lightly, as he made his way to Elea-
nor's side, where he stood so as to cut
her oft from the view of others,
"Toni did not reach 'Croome' in
time?" he asked, leaning toward her.
"Yes," she answered breathlessly. "I
wear it here."
"But not before them all?"
The color came and went upon her
face. "I could not with you not pres-
ent. T had no courage."
"And now?"
She drew the miniature from among
her laces, letting it .fail upon her
breast. "It Is different now. With
you I have n6 fear of what Is said,"
"Then come:" He extended Ills hand

the room, end together they took their
places, In the sight of all, a man and

Aesthetics and Health.
• "The connection between individual
health and beauty, though seldom rec-
ognized In theory, is intimate in pree-
tice," says the New York Medical Jour-
nal. True, extravagant ideas of what
Is beautiful have caused much nuisance
and harm in the way of absurd and un-
healthy fashions of dress, but it is to
the aesthetic instinct of people that we
owe most of sanitary improvement.
The removal of 'filth, so important to
public health, and cleanliness in gen-
eral, is due in a large part to a die -
'Ike for ugliness. -
Medical ascience is coming more and
more to the idea of enforcing sanitary
measures by fostering a nubile sense
of aestheties. The Journal concludes
with rare sense: "One of the chief
means for the' furthering of public
health consists not so )Meath in preach-
ing the need of sanitary conditions as
la awakening the sense of beauty."
Tuns Used Scrap Tin.
The extent to which Germany ab-
sorbed old tin cans andtin plate
from England before the war and
some of the processes by which the
tin is removable from such material
is doubly interesting at present,
when we are urged to employ every
means possible to save by-products
and scrap of all kinds and when tin
itself has reached the highest price
in its history.
Before the war a German firm es-
tablished in several parts of Great
Britain large works for cleaning tin
cans, recovering the tin and solder.
,and pressing the clean steel into
wales. In this way they shipped a
large quantity of good steel to Ger-
many, Ultimately they stopped de -
tinning in England anti merely de -
soldered the scrap and shipped it
baled to Germany. Detinning by the
chlorine process was cheaper on the
continent, yielding, in addition to
the sheet, tin tetrachloride, •a valu-
able product of silk manufacture.
Tinned steel Plato to the amount et
some 150,000 tons, some of which is
believed to have been detinned, was
exported from I.ngland for many
years before the war, and thus Ger-
many obtained at small cost a large
tonnage of steel and other metals
that +could have bten worked up into
marketable products.
