--Electric smoothing irons are now
an available household article, A few
mouths ago, a company in Chicago
manufactured ten thousand szx- ound
irons, and loaned them for six months
without charge, in order to introduce
them. At the end of the time, those
' who had the use of the irons did not
wish to part• with them, and bought
them.. Now the company cannot sup-
ply the demand,

—Under the re -organization of the
Provincial, Police Force, Ontario will
be divided into two districts. The
boundary line between the two has
not been determined, for the details of
re -organization have yet to be worked
out, There will be two Inspectors,
and Chief Caldbeek of Cobalt is to be
one of them, and will probably have
charge of the North district. Mr.
Oaldbeck is a son of Semi. Caldbeck of
Morris township. He should make a
first-class officer.

IA wireless telegraph and tele-
, phone station is to be erected at Oma-
ha for the Union Pacific railway. It
is hoped to develop wireless telephony
to such an extent that the officials
will be able to keep in touch with
trains and control their movements
for at least one hundred miles, and it
will be.paseible for passengers to carry
on a telephone conversation on mov-
ing trains with people in Omaha. If
this is found to work well, then the
distance will be widened if possible,

—The Kincardine Review gives the
followingevidence of the fact that the
passing years produce changes. The
oldest minutes extant of the Huron
Township Council. are dated 1885.- On
the 15th of January that year, a meet-
ing of the Council was held in which
it was ordered that all persons to
whom a tavern license may be grant-
ed "shall furnish good liquor." To-
day there is a by-law of the Council in
operation providing that no tavern
license be granted and that no liquor
of any kind be sold.

-The time of passage between New
York and London, England, bas re-
cently been brought down to. about
five days. By the opening of the new
port of Fisbguard, in Wales, the pas-
sengers of the Mauretania from New
York, were able to reach London in
five days, one hour and. forty-five min-
utes. The construction of thisnew
landing place cost the -Great Western
Railway twenty million dollars, This
is another evidence of the constant
effort to secure a high rate of speed in
transatlantic travel. '
—Complaint is now made. that the ,
Cement combine has boosted the price
of cement. Of course, what else could
be expected. Surely no one expected
the combine to lower the price in the
interests of the people. °'Combines do.
not work that way as a rule. Now
there is to be a Carriage combine,
made up large the lar a manufacturers.
The natural results will be that the
smaller manufacturers, who 'are mak-
ing an honest living, will be squeezed
out of business, and the prices of cars
riages will go up so as to pay good
dividends on the_stock of the combine.
Reduction of expenses and saving to
be effected by buying materials in
larger quantities, are two of the pleas
put forward in favor of combines.
Did you ever know these eavings to
profit the eonsumer P Not much.

—Recent statistics show that Great
Britain is spending 137 millions an-
hually on her army and 102 millions
on her navy, or 298 millions yearly for
warlike purposes, in time of peace.
Is it any wonder then that we read
that one person in every 37 in Eng-
land and Wales is a pauper. These
millions represent waste, for so far as
the navy is concerned, many of the
costly ships soon become out of date,
and go to the scrap pile. What loss
that means can be seen• from the sale
of the liner Lucania, that a few years
ago cost three and a half million dol.
lars, and yet she was sold for a little
more than one twentieth of her cost,
Germany perhaps comes second in
similar expenditure, with 223 millions
for war purposes. The United States,
Russia, Japan and others are striving
to follow the example, and so the aw-
ful waste goes on. Now we are told
that Canada with her population of
less than seven millions, is to ape the
manners of these nations, and act the
fool by spending twenty millions to
build a navy, and nobody knows :how
many more millions to maintain #t,
u debt is already And yet our bt e y over 320
millions, and is constantly increasing.
In the name of common sense, whith
er are we drifting? Can the nations
con thine this'treniendous 'expenditure
in time of peace? We fancy not, and
sooner or later, a crash must come.
Canada should go slow in this navy
business, or in a few years hence she
may find herself loaded up with a nee-
less and heavy annual expenditure.

HEALTH CONDITIONS.
What is of more importance to any
community than the health of its
citizens ? Sickness and death"" will
come, in spite of our best ef r
tfibot
the former may often be prevented,
and the latter delayed for many years,
and citizens spared to their friends
and home, by proper hygienic condi-
tions.
The Advance has been criticised by
members of the Board of Health, be-
cause in last week's issue, we intimat-
ed that the Board was actually com-
posed of living, sentient- beings, cap-
able of thinking, moving, acting.
Criticism. 1 What does that amount
to when death, is stealing citizens from
our midst, and leaving sadness, sorrow
and bereavement behind it.
WIL aT Ana TuE FACTS ?
At the meeting on Monday night,
Mr. Cosens, a member of the Board of
Health, stated that on their recent
tour, tho'Board found conditions exist-
ing that were "intolerable," and
"would not have been allowed 4000
years ago."
Exactly, but whose fault is it that
these "accutnulations" (that was the
word) have been permitted ? Had the
Board of Health in this and past years
performed their duty faithfully, these
"accumulations" would have been an
impossibility. If proper hygienic mea-
sures had been enforced from year to
year, the present conditions so for-
cibly described by Mr. Cosens would
not now have existed.
We cannot regard the present
Board of Health as blameless. After
the scourge of last year, one would
have thought that the first thing they
would have done in the spring, would
be to commence operations to prevent
a recurrence of such things. But they
did not, and: not till last week (so far
as we know) did they make a move.
N'ow, when -disease has gained a foot-
hold, they begiti to rub their eyes and
wake up. Yes, "lock the stable door,
when the horse is stolen."
Because The Advance has called at-
tention to what is considered; the in-
terests of the health of the communi-
ty, in public meeting and once or
twice' at the Cuuncii Board, ithats
been sneeringly referred to as 4.The
Press." We care notfor sneers in
private, nor tirades it public,.; if we
are doing right. Matters.'• affecting
the health of our homes and happiness
of our families are of far more import-
ance than the success or failure of any
municipal aspirant, or any- number of
them• at the approaching 'January
election.
Medical men agree that much of
the sickness under' which humanity
groans, may be ^avoided by `proper
hygienic conditions. Knowing this,
are we not remiss in our duty, if we
allow such conditions to exist, as are
favorable for the origin and spreadof
disease.
It is certainly commendable` for our
Town Council to endeavor to beautify
our `cemetery, but we would rather
have our citizens living than dead.
We have nothing to say against a
windmill as an ornament to God's
acre, but let us do what we can to
prevent "vacant chairs" from occur-
ring in our homes. It is praiseworthy,
to furnish water to keep the grass
green on the graves of our deceased
citizens, bet better far to furnish pure
water for the living, and take meas-
ures to preserve them from disease,
and ward off Death's darts from their -
homes so long as possible.
But, when the Council does take a
forward step, opposition or indiffer-
ence defeat the effort, and tie the
hands of those whd would improve
conditions. For thio, the voters are
responsible, and not the Council as a
whole.
But some consider it is not the
fault of our water supply. Then in
the name of all that is good, find out
the cause. The law of cause and ef-
fect applies here as elsewhere. Find
out the cause and apply the remedy.
As the Board of Health is supposed
to be the custodian of these matters,
we naturally look to it as an• organiz-
ation to be on 1 he alert,
Do not blame Providence for the
results of our own indifference or
neglect.
Preventive Medicine.
There was not as large an attend-
ante on Monday evening at the Town
Hall as there 'should have been ; pos
stbly the strife/eatable weather had
something to do with preventing
many from coming. .Mayor Gregory
occupied the chair, and Dr. Kennedy
read an excellent paper en the subject
announced, • He showed the 'value of
preventive nneaaures and rnedleine in
the ease of tuberculosis, smallpox,
diptheria, typhoid fever and other dies
eases, quoting in support of bis state-
ments from the latest scientific works.
A hearty vote of thanks was tendered
Dr, Kennedy for his excellent address.

Farewell Services In St. Paul's,
On Sunday, October 17th, Rev. C.
E. Joakins closed his rectorship in St,
"Paul's Church. In the morning the
sermon was a message for the future,
and inthe t e ,evening, a retrospective.
The morning text was 1 dor, 15 : 58,
"Be ye steadfast," etc, To stand fast,
we must have a sure foundation,
which is given in the faith and life of
Jesus Christ. Wherefore be steadfast
in a sure faith in God, in the Church
of Christ, and in using the means of
grace. Be unmovable in the princi-
ple of your faith, by the evil example
of your neighbors, by the persecutions
of the world, and by the pleasures of
the world. Trust God as much when
He gives, as when He takes away.
Be always abounding, because all in
Christ's army are onthe active list.
Our labor is not in vain in the Lord,
in spite of inconsistencies and failures.
'The number of new members brought
into a church is not the test of minis-
terial success, but altered lives and
obedient, humble hearts.
The evening text' was 1 Cor. 15:1-3.
"I declare unto you the gospel," etc.
It is a solemn thing to close a minis-
try. There are so many things lefts
undone, so many inconsistencies, fail-
ures, and short -comings. But it is
also a joy, when one thinks of the..
many blessed opportunities of doing
good and of scattering the blessed
seed of truth, which will some•. day be
crowned with abundant fruition. "I
declare the gospel." This, my first
message td you fourteen months ago,
is now nay parting message. The gos-
pel means the good news and the
good news is the history of a life, even
the life of our Lord and Saviour. The
gospel is a rock on which we must
build. All other ground is but sink-
ing sand. It is the sure basis of faith
and life. My anxiety has been and is
to have you receive this gospel, a true,
settled, steadfast gospel. Thus, my
last Message to you is the presentation
of Christ. Jesus is no hard taskmas-
ter.who is looking,to see faults in our
ministry, for he judges the motives as
well as the acts. What is an outline
of a minister's life ? To visit the
house of joy and the house of mourn -
in to feel the joyofhis people and
to be oppressed with their sorrows as
he 'ministers to them day by day, for
it is more blessed to give than to re-
ceive.
Prior to Mr. Deakins' removal, the
following address was presented to
him by the Vestry :
To Rev. C. E. Deakins, B.A., B.D.
Since it had pleased the Lord Bishop
of the Diocese to promote you to•
higher service, the members of the
Vestry of St. Paul's Church'desire to
mark their steadfast appreciation of
your labours in this parish by some
expression at once of their sorrow at
your departure and of their joy, no
less, in the prospect of your increased
usefulness: in the future. During your
brief residence in Wingham, Mrs. Jen-
kins and you have formed many and
lasting friendships among the citizens
generally and your removal is univer-
sally regretted.
"No stunted ascetic" or devotee of
lettered ease, you have given your
people of your best, and your earnest
endeavour has been to fill nut the full
circle of a Rector's duty, Your kindly
and thoughtful ministrations have
brought joy and consolation to the
sick, the afflicted, and the bereaved,
Yon have laboured faithfully and suc-
cessfully in every sphereof the
Church'ss life, and the success of the
introduction of thessurpliced choir and
the completion. of the arrangements
to purchase the Mills Memorial hall
are monumental evidences of your
zeal and activity in promoting the
welfare of the Uhurch in this com-
munity. Not the least acceptable of
your services has been your work in
the pulpit. Your eloquent sermons
and addresses have been at all times a
source of inspiration and profit and
have revealed the erudite scholar and
the profound thinker.
Deeply conscions as the Vestry is of
the groat responsibililty which now
devolves upon you in the preparation
of men for the holy office of priest-
hood, they would commend you to
the guidance of Almighty God in this
most stored and noble work; and, as
you go forth to your new home, the
prayers of your people will accompany
tinued suII andccess le higher lovedour Cafes for our con•
gg r defies to
which you have been culled,

Died In Chatsworth.
Russell Vail, the operator at Wing -
ham C.P.R, station, died at his home
in Chatsworth last week. He con-
tracted the fever, and was obligel to
go home a few weeks ago, and on
Tuesday, 12th inst., passed away. He
was just on the threshold of manhood,
hardly 21 years of age, and was one of
ghatsworth's bright and promising
young men. He was a son of the late
Robert Vail. Besides his mother, he
leaves three brothers and two sisters
to mourn his untimely death. They
are Ben, of Meatord, George and Rob-
ert, Chatsworth, Miss Mamie, Toronto,
and Miss Bertha at home. The pastor
of the Methodist Church conducted
the funeral service, and the Canadian
Foresters performed their ritual at
the grave.
Death Of Miss Dodson.
It is with feelings of sincere regret
that we report this week the death of
Miss Helena. Dadson, one of the teach-
ers in our High School. She was tak-
en ill, and ceased teaching on Monday,
11th inst„ and early on Tuesday
morning of this week passed away.
Miss Dadson was an estimable young
lady, a capable teacher, a member of
the Methodist Church, League and
Bible class. Her fellow teachers and
pupils will feel keenly her unexpected
demise. Besides her aged. mother, she
leaves one sister, Mrs. (Rev.) Langford
of Monkton; and one brother in
Spokane, Wash, .A service, was held
at the residence of her mother on
Tuesday evening, and the early train
bore the remains to Union for inter-
ment on Wednesday. 'Deceased was
in her 34th year. Floral tributes from
the High School Board, the staff, her
pupils, the Eureka Bible class and Ep-
worth League attested the esteem in
which she was held, and sincere
sympathy with the bereaved friends.

If any of our readers in town or

they should boil it. True. this may,

There Is No Danger.
The cases of illness in Wingham
have been greatly exaggerated
throughout --the country, and there
are doubtless some Who are afraid to
come to town. There is positively no
danger in this respect. Fever is con-
tracted as a rule from impure water,
milk or food, or direct inhalation of
the germs from deposits of a patient.
People of the surrounding country
need not have the slightest fear, as it
is next to an impossibility to contract
such a disease by mingling with
others. Even those attendant on
patients do not often contract the
disease if care is exercised. We write
this to allay fear of danger and be-
cause we are convinced that it is a
fact. Those accustomed to trading in
town need not be the least afraid,
