Death of James McComb.
There died in Blyth on Thursday
evening last Mr, Janes McComb, one
of the early pioneers of this 'action.
Mr, McComb had reached hia 77th year
and lately had not enjoyed the best of
health, the cause of death being asthma
and heart failure. Mr. McComb was
born in Paisley, Scotland, and came to
Canada with his father's family in 1841.
They first settled in Quebec, then they
moved to Hamilton and later to East
Zorra township, Oxford county. Thir-
ty-seven years ago next April they
moved to Morris township and settled
on lot b, con, 9, where deceased and his
only brother, John, remained until two
years ago, when they moved to Blyth
and purchased the residence on Dinslep
street belonging to the late Richard
Irwin, Deceased was an industrious,
hard-working man, and by his prudent
and thrifty ways gathered together
oousidersble of this world's goods. He
was a man who was highly esteemed
and respected by his neighbors and
friends both in Morris and Blyth. Be-
sides his brother, he leaves three sisters
—Mrs. James Craig, of Morris; Mrs,
John Cameron, of Grey, and Mise Mar-
garet McComb, of Blyth. The parents
died in Morrie over 80 years ago—the
father on October 80th, 1868, and the
mother on June 22nd, 1871. Mr. Mc-
Comb nor hie brother never married.
He was a Presbyterian in religion,
being a member of the Blyth Presby-
terian church, and in politica he was a
Liberal. The funeral took place from
his late residence on Monday afternoon
and was very largely attended, many
old pioneers being present. Interment
WKS made in the Uniou cemetery. The
servioea at the house end grave were
conducted by Rev. A. Mci.eau,
Reform Needed for Married Mao.
Married m n ,Land decidedly in want
of reform. They are incorrigible flirts
for one thing, and when there are nice
girls about the poor bachelor does not
stand a chance. We maintain the para-
dox that if there were not to many mar-
ried men there would be fewer Niche -
lore. Married then seem to know how
to make love better titan the untnerried.
They have so much practice and ex-
perience to go upon. And they always
seem anxious for opportunities of dis-
playing their skill. They are like the
amateur tenor, who is not satisfied
with bleating for the worshipping ad-
miration of the family circle, but, is
always ,yearning to bleat yearningly in
other people's family circles. So the
married man appears to weary of home
pra"tica of the amatory arts, aid to
cultivate them at the expense of those
who have no homes in which to peso -
time them Then the knowledge that
he is married, that he cannot be sus-
pected of "intentions," gives him a
courage, a reckless dash that compare
with the trembling timidity of the
bachelor much to the disadvantage of
the latter. True, the bachelor may re-
taliate, or try to, by whispering soft
nothings to the married men's wives.
But he lacks the audacity, and is by
nature too moral.
Answers the Chief Justice.
In reference to Chief Justice Mere-
dith's criticism of asylum methods, and
Iris statement that the asylum rather
Hour the jail was the proper place for
the detention and examination of per -
sous charged with being Insane, and
a ort e
reeetlnent of mental dingle, not a refuge
for the aged and infirm.
He did not think the chief justiee'e
enggeetion possible, for the wimple rea-
son that the majority of those sent to
the asylums by way of the jail were old
people lacking a home, and once in the
institution it was impossible to get rld
of them
Dr, McCallum thinks that the remedy
is to be found in rhe establishing of
suitably equipped wards in the various
county jails t rouehout the province,
The c6906 per county are few, and the
cost would be small. They should, of
course, be separated from the criminal
words, end the inmates better fed. 1)r.
McCallum considers that in its ad-
ministration of the insane asylums the
provincial government is doing splendid
work, nearly one third of the revenue
of Ontario being devoted to the care of
the insane.
—The Wiartoo e g r beet factory is
running eplandidl,y, slicing from 850 to
870 tone of beets every 24 hours. Two
thousand barrels of sugar are now in
stock, representing between 616,000 and
816,000.
—Messrs, G. Carter, Son & Co,'. new
cereal mill at St, Marys will be in opera -
Gott this ween, The mill will have a
capacity of 100 harrels a day, and ie
said to be one of the most complete in
Ontario.
—Mr. Thomas E. Hay has been ap-
pointed poet master at Listowel, in suc-
cession to the late Mr. Hacking. Mr,
Hay is an old county councillor and
ex -warden, and his appointment will no
doubt give general satiefaction,
—A story is going the rounds that a
farmer who had asked an extortionate
price for his wood had tate tables turned
on him by his blacksmith. The trades-
man just raised his rate a dollar a shoe.
The farmer objected hut was met by the
unanewereble logic that as wood had
gone up, horse shoes had followed its
example. The agriculturalist so the
tale rung w, ut to the magistrate, but
learned that he had no case.
—It might be as well for the country
if the old rule described as follows wee
now in force:—At one time the mem-
bers of the old Upper Canada parlia-
ment, who received something like $260
Rs idemnity, were paid in addition $8
per diem for each day parliament sat,
but this latter charge, instead of com-
ing out of the provincial funds, wee
collected from the different constituen-
cies, eo that the sessions might he kept
as short as possible. A similar arrange-
meni if rut into force these days,
would curtail a good many six -hour
speeches.
—The number of committals to the
jails of Ontario in the year ending
September 80th, 1902, was 8280. This
was 208 less than in the previous year,
and in only two years since 1878 was
the number lees than this year. In
1818 the number was 18,600. The
steady decrease in the number of cow
mittale, in Reim of the constant mul-
tiplication of punishable offenses, ie
gratifying. The causes for it are not
easily determined, but it seems reason-
able to suppose that there has been a
general improvement in the habits of
the people, with improved education
and refinement,
—Mrs, John Gowan, who lived on
the town line of Blenahard and Fuller-
ton townshipe, Perth county, poisoned
herself Friday afternoon with anemic,
Some time ago her husband sold his
farm and purchased another one. This
did net please his wife, and she worried
to get the old farm beck. Meanwhile
the old fano had peered into the hands
of her husband's brother, Mr, W. M.
Gowan, and after some dickering John
bought it back but at a lose of 8800.
This lose ceeme, in have preyed on her
mind, and she was very unhappy.

her husband who went to St. Marys on

If You Value Kitchen Time and Toll
Kure is True Arithmetic of Food Value,
We don't cook our food from mere habit; wo,o:sok it to release its strength
and nutriment, so that it can be digested. The food that releasee most strength
with lead, cooking is therefore the most valuable. There are foods which eau be
cooked in lees time than Quaker Oats, but they do not give so much good to the
body, even in proportion to the time it takes to prepare them.
There are many foods, too, that must be 000ked longer than
QUAKER OATS
but there is no food that ghee so touch strength and so much flesh, blood and
bone, either with short cooking or long cooking, as Q,iaker Oats gives when It is
cooked twenty mieutee. Quaker Oats not only gives most for the amount of
money, but most for the amount of time,

—Mr. J. B. Laing, provincial auditor
of municipal accounts. Pays there is a
growing feeling in thee province that
municipal treasuture should be better
paid, " What would you think," he
said, "of a treasurer getting 55 a year
for his work? Township treasurers
rarely get as high as 8100, and 551) pr
885 is quite a common remuneration.
In towns the scale is higher, but not a
great deal." Mr. Laing, in hie report,
will strongly recommend Inuuicipalities
to "loosen up" a bit on this matter.
During the year there have been five
deficits among municipal treasurers,
and Mr. Laing thinks titin is not many
