In course of conversation he remarked that Petr°. lea formerly had lots of typhoid fever. A system of pure water was put in a few years ago, bringing the supply from,Lake Huron.. Since then, not a single case of fever has originated in the town. Two or three cases occur. red but they were contracted in other places. here is an argument in favor of pure water. Some day Wingham property -owners willwake up, but we fear not until many more families have been left with vacant chairs (per- haps some occupied by the bread -win- ner of the home) besides the worry, cost and sorrow that follow the dis- ease. The best physicians class ty- phoid among the diseases known as "preventible." We invite it to our town and to our homes, when we ne- glect to bar it out as far as possible. * e * —As a rule, visitors from the old land to Canada go home impressed with our resources, and the develop- ment ment the country is making. Admiral Lord Beresford was surprisee. and pleased with conditions in Canada, and by his trip northward in the min- eral region, obtained a good idea of Ontario's mineral wealth. Mrs. Ed- win Grey, one of the delegates from England to the International Council of Women Workers recently held in Toronto, said on her return, "The twentieth century is Canada's. The Dominion possesses illimitable oppor- tunities, is in feverish baste to develop them and has no use for our ne'er-do- wells and misfits." Another lady dele- gate, Miss E. C. Harvey, remarked that she had been struck with the use- ful and busy lives led by Canadian women, who often did all the work of the house as well as if they kept two or three servants. yet found time for philanthropic work, self -culture ,and amusement.

Annual Harvest Thanksgiving ser- vices were bald in St, Paul's chur h last Sunday. The church was beauti- fully decorated with the products of field, orchard and garden, The ser. vices were bright and helpful, and large congregations were present bothh morning and evening. ' In the morning, the sermon of the Rector, Rev. C. E. Jeakins, was based on thoughts of harvest. His text was Oen. 8 :22, God always owned thanks- giving services. The products of the earth make us realize our entire de- pendence on God. If rightly used, such ser vices are a preventive of the awful doom pronounced against the man whose heart is lifted up because of prosperity. The text contains one of the early promises of God in His Word which show us' that both soul and body are in God's holy keeping. This promise which we commemorate to -day also tells us of the faithfulness, goodness, patience and greatness of God, wthefield. made harvest In looking at the harvest let us not for- get to Iodic up from nature to nature's God. In the evening the Rector chose as hie text, Ie. 28.:23.29. The parable of ploughing and reaping is -the prophet's answer to the taunts of the children of Israel. Incongruity and contradic- tion are apparent in all the steps of ploughing and reaping. but all are necessary for the production of our daily bread. The way may be rough but the end is blessed fruition. What seems destruction and death is fruit- fulness and resurrection. Thus the prophet shows us God's dealing with the Jews and with us. As the plough- man puts his ploughshare in the earth, so sorrow leaves its gashes in human hearts. As the grain is buried in the earth, so • love and devotion may be lavished, As the grain is ground, so God's servantii inay undergo bard dis- cipline. But judge not of God's handi- work, until life with its opportunities and discipline is over, God has not finished his work with us. All things are working - together for good. ' If the seed could think, what strange thoughts would surge through its mind as s.it contemplated:the various- stages of Its treatment, So we should: interpretall' life's severities. , God- is. ennobling, blessing and purifying us., All are under the care of the Great Husbandman. If he send joy or afiic- tion, let us be prepared to say, "It is the Lord." Let us rise to the belief in His greatness. Then no joy or sorrow which He may send, will .disturb us or alarm. On Monday evening the annual Har- vest Thanksgiving Snpper was held in the schoolroom. A large and repre- sentative gathering partook of the dainties provided by the members of the Women's Guild. After the sup- per, adjournment was made to the Mills Memorial Hall where a program was provided. Rev. Mr. 'Perris, Rev. Dr. Rutledge, and Rev. Mr. Sanders of Lucknow, made felicitous speeches of congratulation and good -will. The musical part consisted of an anthem by the choir, solos by Miss Griffin, Rev.• Mr. Jeakins, Mr. W. H, Willis, Mr. Geo. Rankin and Master Charles McDonald, and a song by Misses Eva Patterson, Sarah McLean and Verna Moore. The singing of the Doxology and the National Anthem concluded one of the most successful entertain- ments given under the auspices of the Women's Guild. The special thankolfering on Sun- day amounted to $I35.00, and the receipts at the Supper on Monday evening, $81:00.

To the Editor of The Advance : DEAR SIR. --Permit me to draw at. teution to the fact, that we Have al- ready had this fall nearly a score of Typhoid fever cases in the town of Wingham, ,with of course, more to follow. There has been so far, a mortality of three, apt to speak of worry, trouble, r y, danger and expense connected with the disease. All of the cases, I believe, with the exception of three, have originated in the. town. The absolute criminality of permitting this to continue, has been again brought forcibly to my mind, by read- ing the last few days a new work on "Medical Sociology" written and just published by Dr. James P, Warbasse of New -York. HE, -oes on to say :— "If°society were wise, it would render every aid to medical pro- gress. A reflection upon the abil- ity of the people to take care of themselves is the fat:t that most Of the sanitary measures whieli have been adopted for their protection, have been fought for by the medi- cal profession, against strong op- position. Medical men have labor~• ed to compel the adoption of laws for the prevention of disease, with- out which laws our country Would be riddled with pestilence. Individually, physicianet may be inspired by that benefleent self- intereee which exists in all men ; but as an organized class, what is recommended by the medical pro. fession for the public good, has the merit of true philanthropy, which no other profession or awe cation approaches. In every municipality, where. Typhoid fever exists, the medical profession has advised the people what to do, to check the disease ; ' usually it has pleaded with them. Has it advised the people wrong- ly ? No. Has it been unduly sanguine that mortality could be reduced ? No. Has the public ever accepted its recommendations without a vast deal of parley and delay, while the people kept on dying ? No. And it is not a spectacle to be viewed with pity -and shame, that in every large community, there are people dying, who would be well and happy, were the recommendations which the medical profession 'has placed in the hands of the people acted upon ? Some day Typhoid fever will be as obsolete in civilized communi- • ties as cholera or small pox. We • possess all the information that is ' necessary to make it so 'now. It is no longer a great and elusive mystery. The average third year medical student knows, enough about Typhoid fever to be able to stamp it out, if he were endowed with absolute power. Of 'courae he would have to interfere with the interests and profits of a num- ber of our leading citizens, This is one reason why Typhoid fever is so prevalent. At the present time it is a barter for human lives." If we instituted a system of pure water in-Wingham, the taxes might go up half a mill and some of the aldermen might not be re-elected"next year. But the eminent physician re- ferred &o above goes on to say :— "Every case of Typhoid fever is an evidence of the benighted state of the civilization in which it occurs, and of the inefficiency of the municipal government. Typhoid fever has passed, be- yond the catalogue of diseases ; it is a crime." These are not my words, but words of one of the greatest physicians in Amelrica. How any man can call himself a Christian or even a humani- tarian and vote against a system of pure water is an enigma. That half the wells in this town are polluted, I can demonstrate. Bring the water to me for analysis or send it to Toronto. These analyses don't lie. It seems strange that the average human takes more interest in hog cholera or tuber. culosis in cattle than he does in the suppression of a disease that may at any moment attack bim, his wife or his child. Strange that he should pay more attention to the welfare of In - font industries than that of infant children. The second day of Wingham Fall• Fair was unfortunately most unfavor- bie so far as weather was concerned. Rain, so long needed, -came down in abundance and continued throughout tr the day. The entries were more nutn- erous by several hundred, than in any previous year, and with flue weather there is no doubt that the pair would have made a record in results. The inside exhibit was very good, grain, fruit, vegetables, dairy, provisions, aid ladies' work being well filled. The outside exhibit was sadly inter- fered with by the rain, which practi- cally prevented the special attractions and athletic contests. There was, however, some good poultry and a lot of fine horses, The pouring rain also interfered with the attendance at the concert in the evening. The program was furnished by the hewer Concert Co. and was much en jayed, The fin. aticial results of the Pair will be below expectations, but the Directors can console themselves with the thought that it was not their fault; they did their best. All that can be done now is to take eourage and hope for better weather next year. The Directors should by no means relax their ei'forte but consult l:l.teks' forecasts (given a year ahead) choose their date, and the deodlno to 'be squeezed nut by other hairs. The prize list will be bound lti salt hum. Yours respectfully J. P. Kennedy. St. Paul's Loss. Rev. C. E. Jeakins, s B. A. B. D. To leave Wingham.

Ingratitude is a sin, and the un- ,rateful individual is held in very low esteem, if not despised. Perhaps, , ns a community, we are thankful for blessipgs received; at least some may be. Others, receive the year's blessings as though the great Creator was indebtee to them, and was simply p y tL.in a debt. The facts are—we deserve little ; we receive mueb, as individuals, as a com- temerity, as a nation. Our thoughts were turned in this direction by a paragraph in the daily papers stating that the ministers .of the northern town of Sudbury had waited on the Town Council, propos- ing that the citizens unite in a non- sectarian manner for a Thanksgiving service in the Town Hall. The Advance considers that the ministers of Sudbury have set their brethren in other places .an example they should follow. We have more then once suggested a similar service in Wipgham, but the suggestion has never been acted on. Some Churches bold a service on Thanksgiving day, but generally very few attend ; other Churches let the day pass without any recognition. True, St. Paul's Church has its Har- vest Thanksgiving services, and this ie highly commendable. But when the Government sets apart a day, why not all the Churches join in expressing their gratitude? Why not for at least one day in the year take down our theological bar- riers and remove our denominational fences, and allow the sheep of the dif- ferent pastures to graze together for one hour ? In other words why should not the congregations of Wingham Churches mingle their voices in grate - f ul praise to the Giver of all good; at least for a small part of one day in a year ? If in the past, Thanksgiving services have been neglected, because so few felt grateful enough for blessings re- ceived, how would it do for the grate= ful few in all ,the congregations to show their gratitude by meeting to- gether and uniting in a service of praise to the Almighty Giver? It might do them good. Why not? Are our denominational walls so thick that ' we cannot see through them ; and so high that we cannot, reach over them to• grasp our brother's hand and unite in one dom- mon praiae service for blessings re- ceived from the same Bountiful Giver: Differences in Church forms, gov- ernment (and. possibly in some doc- trinal points) there may be, and each Church do its work faithfully and well. And yet, in the essential doc- trines, there is not such a wide diver- gence after all. But, as we see it, there is nothing big enough to pre- vent a hearty union Thanksgiving ser- vice, except it be our petty prejudices. If that be all, the sooner they are broken down, the better, and the sooner genuine brotherly love (which is theessence of the religion we pro- fess) will prevail, If we cannot meet on a- common platform for Thanksgiving for the year's blessings, how shall we manage to chant His praise up yonder. Will there be a Methodist heaven, a Pres- byterian heaven, an Anglican heaven, a Baptist heaven, a. Roman Catholic heaven, a Salvation Army heaven ? Those Sudbury ministers wanted an outside speaker for an attraction. That is a mistake ; none 61 that in Wingham. Our local ministers are quite equal to the duty, if they only get close enough together. A little less Churchianity and •more genuine Christ-ianity would hurt none of us. At such a gathering as we suggest, how appropriate would be a liberal collection for the poor, to be banded to the Mayor for judicious distribu- tion, We have read of One who said —"Freely' yo have received, freely give." -Will our suggestion .(made in the most kindly spirit) be acted on, or shall we go on in same old rut, so far as Thanksgiving day is eoncorned?

This week we have to record the death of Mrs, Clendenning, who_ for many years was a respected resident of this town, and whose death occur. red at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Forbes of Blenheim, on' Monday, 4th inst. .tier maiden name was Isabella Dunbar, and shwas born in Glasgow, Scotland. tl nd. She came to Canada with ,her mother and brothers, settling in London, Ont., seventy-three years ago. Later, they removed to Goderich township, and over forty years ago settled in Turnberry township. Mr. Glendenning died twenty years agcy and Mrs, Glendenning then removed to Wingham, where she resided until about our years ago, when she went to live with her daughter, Mrs. Forbes of Blenheim.. She was a, member of the Presbyterian Church, and held the respect .of the community. There were fourteen children, nine boys and five girls, of whom six sons and two daughters remain. Mrs. Wells of Winnipeg, and Mrs. Forbes of Bien. helm, are the daughters ; the sons are —Isaac of Minnesota, James of Kent county, John of Idaho, Robert of Da- kota, George of Iowa, and William, of Aylmer. The funeral took place on Wednesday from the residence of Mr. Rich. Porter, to Wingham cemetery. Mr. and Mrs. James Clendenning, also Mr. and Mrs. Forbes,' all of Kent county, and her son William of Ayl- mer, were in attendance at the funer- al. Mrs. Clendenning had reached the age of 85, In Prime Of Life. Death always brings sorrow to the home, but there are cases when his visits are especially sad and call forth the deeper sympathy. Such is the case of the death of Mr. Ira C. Parker, who, in the prime of life, aged 33, passed away on Tuesday evening. Mr. Parker was born in the township of Morris, and learned the marble cutting business in Brussels with Mr, Cochrane now of Wingham, and re- mained with him ever since. He re- moved td Wingham about five years ago, and in June 1908, was married to Mise Minnie McNaughton of Brussels, who after a.little over.a year of happy married life, is left to mourn the loss of a kind and devoted companion. A few weeks ago, deceased contracted fever, ,but , partially recovered, and was able to be up. A relapse followed, and after a few days struggle with disease, the end came. Deceased was an exemplary young man, a member of the Methodist Church, .ani active worker in the League, Sunday School and Y. M. 0, A. He leaves one broth- er, Joseph, of Schrieber, and two sisters, Mrs. Russell, and Margaret, both. of . Duluth. The funeral takes place on Thursday, for interment in Brussels cemetery ; service at the residence here at 10 a.'tn. Deceased was a member of Brussels G 0. 0. F. A number of floral tributes indicated esteem for deceased and sympathy for the bereaved. Dr. Mc- Naughton of New York, was present to extend his sympathy and assist- ance to his sister, in her sad bereave- ment. - A GOOD PAPER. The Toronto News is one of our most welcome exchanges.

The sooner men learn that the law is made to be observed, not broken, the better it will be for themselves and others.

If men will deliber- ately break the law, there is little sympathy for them when they get into trouble for so doing.

In a place where a snowflake is a scarcity, the fall of so much snow is something never experienced before, and was the subject of several pages of illustra- tions.
