Ie provides that applicants for mar- riage licenses must undergo medical examination before a license will be granted, On the next day, June llth, ten couples applied for licenses in Seattle, and on presenting the doctor's certificates were granted licenses. Two couples, when they heard of the new law requirement, said they would cross over into British Columbia and get united In wedlock's bonds. The new law is intended to reduce the evils of consumption, * * * —A serum has been discovered that when an individual has been innocn- lated with, renders them proof against typhoid fever. It is already the prac- tice in the British and German armies, and also in the U. S. marine hospital at Boston, and the effect is said to Cover from two to three years. Not enough time has yet elapsed to show whether there are injurious and last- ing effects. However, the Massachu- setts State Board of Health advises compulsory innoculation of doctors, nurses and others who are exposed to fever germs. * k * --A recent report issued by Govern- ment shows that Canadians do a lot of smoking and chewing of tobacco. Of course there are lots of people who neither chew nor smoke, and yet last year, Canada used three pounds of tobacco per head of its population. On that basis, which is probably cor- rect, being official, the people of Wingham and Lower Town got away last year with 3fe tons of tobacco. If all the cash spent in liquor and to- bacco was saved and put out at inter- est, a lot of people now "hard up" would be in easy circumstances. The figures presented in the report referred to are exceedingly suggestive. a —President Eliot of Harvard Uni- versity has been expounding what he calls the "new religion." If he means a new sect, the world has too much sectarianism now; possibly it has an excess of churehianity and not enough of pure, simple Christianity. It seems to us, that if people would live the "old" kind of religion properly, this world would be better than it is, and ` President Eliot will be a wonderful man if he discovers anything better than the old kind, cherished by our dear fathers and mothers in the years gone by; The "old religion":was laid . clown by the Divine Teacher in two ' . cardinal principles, viz.—Supreme love to God, and "Whatsoever ye would that men should do unto you, do ye ' even so unto them." Beautifully sim- ple rules these, compared with man- made theological definitions and dis- tinctions. Simple though they are; it will take us all our time to work them out in every day life, and Presi- dent Eliot will. have to look a long time to find any "new" religion that 44. . will produce any better results than these two simple rules properly work- ed out in either Church, business, so- cial or domestic life. The trouble now -a -day is, not that a "new" reli- gion is needed, but that people will ' not give the "old" kind a chance to govern their lives. The editor of this paper (and it is true of others) has no time to be racking his brains with Pres. Eliot's "new" religion. The old kind (if we get enough of it.) as the old hymn puts it— "Was good for our mothers And it's good enough for me." Why Not Change This ? Saturday evening asa rule is a try- ing one on drygoods merchants, grocers, bakers, but:hers and others, because of the pernicious habit of late shopping. Saturday is a busy day generally in any case, and when business men, clerks (many of them young ladies) are compelled to remain on foot, behind the counters until eleven o'clock or even later, the habit becomes a positive evil and a shame. The evil is all the greater, because it might be avoided, if citizens would decide earlier what they require for Sunday's necessities, and order the goods in decent time. It is a fact however, that some never think of these things—until bed -time, when merchants, clerks and delivery boys should be closing their week's toil• Instead of being able to close at say ten o'clock, everybody in the estab- lishment is kept on the run until near tee midnight hour. Then the busi- ness -man and clerks drag their weary frames homeward, and if they stay to take their week -end bath, the early hours of Sunday morning have been reached, ere their tired limbs tou.h the downy couch. 'Is it any wonder that nervous strain comes on under the pressure ? Nor is it strange that many are unfitted to enjoy a religious service on Sunday morning, even if they summon strength and courage to dress and at- tend church. The late shopper and dilatory housekeeper are responsible for much more than they imagine. They should turn over a new leaf, cut Out this late shopping and give the other fellows a chance. Mercbants too might reduce the evil to a minimum by agreeing to close at ten o'clock on Saturday evenings. Our columns are open for the mer- chants of town to discuss this, now that the Advance has opened the ruestion, The Pringle By -Law. As this By-law is not yet numbered, we refer to the By-law now before the voters -under the above heading. The, question is fishy stated. Mr. Pringle could 'readily have secured a location in another. town, and no doubt on very advantageous terms. But Wingham .cannot afford to lose an: industry, when to retain it requires such a minimum of expenditure in the. meantime, and in the and will cost the town nothing. • . efr.'Pringle asks -for a loan of $4,000 for ten years, and is willing to 'repay f}tlrr' hundred della& annually With interest at 4 per cent. , • Possibly the town may bave to pay 4e per cent., but the difference is se small that it will be more than offset by what the town will receive annually from Mr. Pringle in the way of School and other taxation, water and light. The agreement Mr. Pringle makes with the town provides that he shall erect a brick building, two storeys high, 56x50, boiler house, 20x30, and chemical building, 22x36 ; equip with necessary machinery and operate these as a tannery, giving the town a mortgage on the whole as security for the loan. We submit the following figures in the case:— Town ase:Town raises annually to pay de - 1 bentures and interest $513.16 Mr. Pringle pays yearly in prin- cipal and interest $493.16 *** --It was once remarked by the allTeachers—"The hepoor ye of T wisest y always have with you." The same is true of the Canadian Senate, so far as -4. we Canadians are concerned. The old chaps have a good time, do not do much to earn their pay, except emit hot air; they put in a few years very comfortably at the country's expense, then die, and others are appointed to fill their places. Ttius the expensive (to the country) play o la goes n. "Play" " we said, for no one pretends to believe that the old fossils therein do any real. work. If we are not mistaken, it was once remarked that there was to be "Reform of the Senate." You can't do it, Sir Wilfrid, even with the best of intentions cannot do it; the thing 4 remains as before, old, cumbersome, useless and unmendable. True, death is changing the political complexioA of the institution, but that seems to be of no particular benefit to the coun- try. however, be they Grit or Tory, this journal has no use for the Senate, and believes it to be a Useless and ex• pensive frill on our governmental eye - teat. Since we are talking about it, eve nifty say, that not so very long ago the Senate had a Conservative • thin jerky. but Death has been busy among the grey..haired, bald -heeded (le'eu- pants of its desks, and as matters now stand the Liberals are three to One With the Tories. If we mistake not, the °erreet figures at present are—21 Cnneervatives and Oa Liberals: if Sir Wilfrid persists in retaining office a few terms longer and Death continues his reaping of the ripened sheaves, the gigantic task will have been eornplet- ed, and "Reform of .the senate," an sccornplished fact. But in the meati• time, we go on,P riout etrgeed money by thousands, and getting nothing of praetietil value in return,. while the old gents go on eelleeting their lndeben tes doingnohrot, bate ing s good a etishlngetthe votertlwho - We bill, Difference,.., $20,00 Or take it this way :— The The Town raises $M316 for ten years, in all , $5131.00 Mr. Pringle pays $113.16 for ten years, in all $493L60 Difference in ten years ...$200.00 That is $20 a year. As an offset against this $20, Mr. Pringle has been paying in the past in taxes, light and water rates, about 573.00 annually. If he removed, the town treasury would be out that much, There is at least $50 a year clear to the town by Mr. Pringle remaining. nut there is another phase of the matter. The money repaid by Mr. Pringle yearly goes into a Sinking Fund. This the town loans out on choice farm mortgages at 5 or 5e per cent., so that while the town pays 471 per cent. for the money, it gets more interest than it pays. Aside from the fact that we hold an industry, the town not only loses nothing by the loan, but makes some- thing out of it in cold cash every year. Surely no sane property -owner will vote downa c e s b me of thiski' nd, REMEMBER, however, that if you remain at home, your vote unpolled stands against the Bylaw, for in this caee a three-fifths vote is required. Bence, be sure wild vote. lint further, a public meeting by 'a standing vote aanetioned the Council's submitting this By-law. Ort the strength of this, Mr. Pringle at once set to work to rebuild, and •by the voting day will bave Medd much pro- gress In rebuilding, To remain at home, Or to vote against the Bylaw wonid be to break faith with Mr, .Pringle, who has so far placed faith in 'the people, by rebuilding. The Bylaw Mast peas. WINGHAM, ONT., THURSDAY, AUGUST 12, 1909. A Reform Needed. • There is a matter which (so it aeons to us) should receive attention from the Ontario Legislature in an amend- ment of the Municipal Act. There are valuable properties in every towne. that in case of a vote of property -own- ers, can never be represented on. a question of public progress or civie needs. Here is a case in point. In Wingharn for instance, there is the Rectory and church property, the Manse and Presbyterian Church, the Parsonage and Methodist Ohurch, all unrepresented in case of a vote of property -owners. Now here is proper- ty worth probably $75,000, that never j From Owen Sound: has a say in a question of civic im- provement, while other property, worth perhaps one twentieth of the amount is entitled to a vote. Not- withstanding the concentrated wis- dom of past Legislatures, the editor of the Wingham Advance believes that each of these valuable properties should be entitled to a vote, and legis- lation should permit the regular set- tled minister in charge of that parti- cular Church for the time being, the privilege of voting on a by-law relat- ing to public improvement. Take for instance, waterworks, sanitary mat- ters, and such projects as make for the health and improvement of the town, why should three such valuable properties have no voice on these questions, when they must bear their share of the taxation ? The same is true in nearly every town, village and city. . Good Progress, W. D. Priugle is making good pro- gress with his tannery, The walls of the main building are up, the roof is being put on, and a new 26 horse- power engine has been installed, Mr. Pringle has certainly lost no time, Will Celebrate Labor Day.

NORMAL SCHOOL ENTRANCE... .20 JUNIOR MATRICULATION... ..... 13 SENIOR TEACHERS 14 The Advance is pleased once more to announce a successful record for, Wingham High School, notwithstand- ing the severe teats which the candi- dates faced. Regarding the Entrance examina- tion to Normal Schools, there was a larger number of candidates this year than last, and only 1,300 succeeded, compared With 1800 last year. The targe number of failures indicates the severity of the examination. It looks-' as if the Education Department in- tended that when teachers are sent out, they shall be well qualified. Con- sidering the number of failures in this examination throughorit the province, Wingham High School certainly did well to pass twenty. Out of 47 recom- mended from" Guelph Collegiate In- stitute, only 18 passed, so says the Guelph Herald, while according to the Chesley Enterprise, from the five High Schools of Bruce only 48 passed, and seven were from Chesley High School. Last week, we gave the names of the twenty successful Normal School Entrance candidates from Wingham High School, and this week we give the results of the other examinations. JUNIOR 1ifATRrCULATION.

A Woman Killed. A sad accident occurred in Ashfield, on August 1st. Mrs. Michael Dalton of Kingsbridge was driving to church,' when the horse ran away. Mrs. Dal- ton was thrown out of the buggy with great force to the ground, and serious- ly hurt, On examination, it was found that the base of her skull was fractured, and she only lived a few hours. The funeral was a large one, and much sympathy is felt for those bereaved by the sad accident. A (creat Improvement. One day last week, Mr, Frank Hill neatly trimmed tee" the front of his property bordering on the public street. It looked so well that Messrs. Ross and Musgrove followed the good example, then the Rectory fell into line. This week, the other side of the street took a hand at it, and now n neater looking street than John, be- tween Centre and Shuter streets, can- not be found in town. If everybody would do the same kind of work in front of their . property, the town would look fifty per cent. better. Thanks, Mr. Hill, for the practical suggestion by way of example.

Greer. Mr. Pringle Pays Interest. In the By-law posted up regarding the loan to Mr. Pringle, there is a phrase that might mislead some voter, if it were'not made cleat. In the first paragraph, after the statement that Mr. Pringle's annual payment is to be $403.16, the words "without interest' occur. This does not mean that be pays no interest, for interest Is includ. ed in the $403.10. If taken as It reads, ft would mean that he does not pay interest on principal and interest, or compound interest, which would be manifestly unjust. The total pay i tett $103.18 does not bear interest of course, because the interest is in - eluded in that amount, as the total of principal and interest, and when he has paid ten yearly payments of $4113.16, he will have repaid the loan and interest at four per rent. This is readily seen from following 1— Ten payments of $103.10 $1031.00 Leas anloutat Of loan4000.00 Interest paid en loan $031.00 The phrase "without interest" ap- pears nbnecessary in the connection, tend has been removed« ,mirex .. -50 aoies near Wingham i hie ee 001Ie 1s, SUBSCRIPTION $1.00 PER YEAR IN AX7'VA VE. $1,50 TO SvnepRIUEIts IN 11. 13.
