SANCTUM PARAGRAPHS. Water And Sewer Bylaws..
---Here is the opinion of the Coiling -
wood, Bulletin, and there are many
others looking at the matter in the
same light:—The assessment law of
Ontario is one of the greatest misfits
ever placed upon the Provincial book
of statutes, One of the chiefest objec-
tions to it is the business tax, which is
based upon the value of the building
in which the business is carried on.
This is sufficient to discourage the
erection of a better class of buildings.
A movement is now going on to urge
the Legislature to amend the act so
that the rate on the buildings and
improvements will be lighter than on
the land. It should receive the hearty
support not only of the municipalities,
but of the legislators. •
—West Middlesex by-election came
of on Wednesday of last week. This
vacancy was caused by theappoint-
ment of the Chief Whip of the Liberals
to the Transcontinental Commission.
Duncan C. Ross, son of Hon. G. W.
Ross, won by a majority of 155. The
riding was Liberal before and remains
so. The following day there was a
by-election in Essex rendered vacant
by the appointment of ex -Speaker
Sutherland to a Judgeship. In this
election the Conservatives won, which
was a gain to the Opposition. Mr.
Wilcox, the successful Conservative
candidate, is a brother-in-law of 'Mr.
Allan Mills of Wingham, The elec-
tion of Mr. Wilcox is a reverse for the
Laurier Government in a Liberal
stronghold. The Liberal majority at
the last election was 550, which Mr.
Wilcox wiped out, and won by 77.
—One of our exchanges recently
called attention to changes that are
made by the passing years. Compari-
son was made between the present
and the past, so far as religion fervor
is concerned. In the early days in
North Ontario people drove in lumber
wagons thirty miles to attend services
in the old stone church at Beaverton.
There is now, not very far from Beav-
erton, a library containing 4,000 vol-
umes, and only seven of the works on
religion were taken out by subscribers
during the whole of last year. Possi-
bly this may be accounted for by the
fact that churches are more numerous,
and religious knowledge and teaching
more widely diffused. Besides, this is
a busier age, and with many the tune
for reading is limited. Nevertheless,
it is a fact, we believe, that religious
works in public libraries are not in
great demand. Fiction is the most
popular ; 'indeed, so popular that
many books that `are fiction pure and
simple, are sinuggled into libraries un-
der other classifications in order to
preserve the limit allowed by govern-
ment regulations. As a matter of fact
many of the books in Sunday School
libraries are fiction and nothing more.
At the next meeting of the Town
Council, two by-laws will be consider-
ed that have a direct bearing on the
health of the citizens of our town, and
for that reason are of vital importance
to the preservation of our families,
and Happiness of our homes.
As the Bylaws are not yet publish-
ed, we cannot discuss them in fall as
to their financial aspects, We regard
them, however, as necessary By-laws,
and an honest effort on the part of the
Council to place the sanitary condi-
tion of our Town on a right basis.
This effort should be loyally supported
by the taxpayers, in the very best in-
terests of all the citizens. •
Considering the years, during which
the soil of our yards, gardens and
streets has been made the receptacle
of all kinds of filth, it must be that the
soil has become impregnated with im-
purities, among .which disease germs
live and thrive. True the air is a puri-
fying agent, and the soil has wonder-
ful recuperative powers in that direc-
tion, but it is possible to over -tax
those powers. Besides, in the passing
of the years, the washings of rain per-
colating through the soil, carry with
them impurities, that find their way
to the sources of our water supply,
and contaminate the water. Added
to this, some householders in every
town are lamentably careless, and fil-
thy water is pitched out anywhere,
near the door, or close by the well,
without regard to the fact that the
next heavy rain will carry the impuri-
ties downward towards the water sup-
ply ; and this goes on for years.
Of late too, many citizens have pro-
vided themselves with inside conveni-
ences, necessitating (in the absence of
a sower system) cess -pools, which in
many cases are more dangerous than
the old-time surface pit. It is certain-
ly time that Wingham made some de-
cisive effort along sanitary lines. As
to the merits of the system proposed
by the By-law to obtain pure water,
we cannot speak, until some test re-
veals the quantity of water 'available
and its domestic qualities. But some-
thing should be'done.
Then the sewer on front street has
been a necessity for years. Some may
object because it is not a complete sys-
tem, covering the whole town. That,
at present, would be a financial 'im-
possibility. But the present proposal
is a beginning, and it could be ex-
tended yearly on the same principle
as the waterworks have been extend-
ed. Because we cannot have all we
desire, shall we refuse a beginning ?
—Just as we thought at the time,
the war scare between Great Britain
and Germany has played itself out.
There seems to be a few (perhaps in
both nations) that keep the war -talk
going. It pays them to do so. If
they did not, Dreadnoughts would
cease to be built, at least at the rate
they are now. Really there is no
cause for war. e -Peace should rule ; it
would, if personal aggrandizement
was not so prominent. Somebody
stands to make money out of these
war scares. Tnere is really no reason
why Great Britain and Germany
should not remain at peace with each
other. The few hot -heads and war -
makers should -receive their quietus.
It would be better for the world if the
money expended 'in the awful waste
of war preparedness, was spent in the
development of the peaceful pursuits
of life. Out of this nonsensical war
scare between the old land and Ger-
many grew perhaps the idea of a Ca-
nadian navy. To es, the suggested
expenditure of twenty millions on a
Canadian navy is most unwise. We
trust our rulers will be cautious and
not commit this country to an en -
necessary expenditure, in the present
condition of our responsibilities along
financial lines.

Reception To Prof. Jeakins.
The London Free Press of Wednes-
day, the 10th, contained a report of
the reception tendered to Rev. C. B.
Jeakins, from which we clip the fol-
lowing
The reception tendered to Prof, C.
E. Deakins at Huron College last night
was an occasion that will remain a
pleasant memory not only to the one
in whose honor it was given, but to all
who were present. The attendance
large, including a number from out of
town, and Prof. Deakins must have
felt that in coming to London be bad
come to a centre of hospitality. Re-
grets were received from Mayor Steve-
ly and a number of others.
For the first half hour his lordship
the Bishop, Mrs. Williams, and Prin-
cipal and Mrs. %Vallee, received the
guests with...Prof. Jeakins. Then after
the gathering had been called to order
and the national anthem had been
sung in honor of the King's birthday,
Bishop Williams presented the college
testamurs to the graduates of last
spring, and also olgeially welcomed
Prof. Deakins.
In connection with the latter he re-
marked that tho occasion recalled to
him the time when he, himself, was
welcomed as the second professor of
Huron College. That was between 20
and 30 years ago, and not until Prof.
Jeakins came had there been a second
professor.
The final examinations of Huron.
College, he pointed out, had been
greatly strengthened by the appoint-
ment of independent examiners and
the high standard set. All but one of
the candidates at the last examination
had made over 50 per cent., which was
equivalent to the standard for the first
B. D. degree test.
Following the conferring of the tes-
tamurs his lordship called upon the
Dean of Suron to speak.
Prof. Jeakins was the last speaker
and replied to the hearty welcome
which had been accorded him. He
felt cheered in bis work, he said, by
the warm way in which he had been
welcomed by tb,e students of the col-
lege.
Besides, our citizens should remem-
ber that if the congestion of earth
washings and garbage along our front
street were disposed of, much of the
danger from an unsanitary condition
would be removed, for that street is
the centre of congregation in more
respects than one. Nor should it be.
forgotten that our front street in.
spring and fall is a disgrace to our
town. Nor can it be much improved
until the main sewer is laid, and the
street properly made. No matter how
much money is spent on it, it will still
be a mud -hole. Thousands of dollars
have been sunk there, and no im-
provement is manifest.
Is it not time that something was
done, and a beginning made along
right lines ? $500 a year for the next
ten years can be expended on the
main street, and in the end it will be
very little better, unless the sewer is
laid and proper drainage effected.
—There is no use attempting to die -
guise the fact, British rule in India is
seriously threatened. The natives
perhaps on the whole may be fairly
loyal to the British crown, but there
are many who are associated together
„t for treasonable purposes, with the
avowed object of the overthrow of
British supremacy in India. Recently
an attempt was made to rnarder Lord
Minto and his wife. This with at-
tacks on Lord Kitchener, Sir Andrew
Fraser and other prominent officials,
is evidence that there exists a system-
atic effort to strike at the very cen-
tre of governintent.- Britain has done
much for India, and is stilt working
for its betterrnent. The civilization
introduced, reforms brought about
capital expended, and relief given in
time of fartline, should receive loyal
adherence instead of bomb -throw nig
and attempts at murder of oMe 1
who are endeavoring to do their duty
faithfully. Suppose British ride at
once ceased in that vast country,
where powerful and practically inde-
pendent nt tribes exist, what Mould be
the result? Most likely anarchy and
bloodshed would ensure, and the pro-
gcess of the people along educational,
rnissionary and commercial

Matrimonial Announcement.
The following item is from the So-
ciety column in the Toronto Star of
Nov. 8ch, and will be of interest to
many in Wingham :--"Mr. and Mrs.
H. R. Hardy, 1902 Sixth avenue, West
Vancouver, B. C., formerly of Toron-
to, Ont., announce the engagement of
their second daughter, Lula Maude,
to Mr. Morton Woods Morton, of the
Bank of Hamilton, Vancouver, only
son of Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Morton of
Wingham, Ont. The marriage will
take place early in December."
Hospital Officers,
The officers of Wingham Hospital
recently elected are : President—R.
Clegg ; Vice-Pres,—L. W. Hanson ;
Secretary—R. Vanstone ; Treas.—Dr.
Irwin ; House Committee—L. Hanson,
Dr; Kennedy, R. Vanstone .; Finance
Oommittee—L. Hanson, Dr. Redmond,
Dr. Irwin ; Pi operty Committee—W.
H. Green, J. Wilson, Wm. Fessant.
The following resolution was carried
unaniinously—"That this Board of
Wingham Hospital extend its hearty
thanks to the Superintendent ar.d
staff for their faithful and efficient
devotion to duty, during the trying
period through which they have re-
cently passed."
Some time ago the taxpayers of
Wingham decided that the best,
method of managing the Electric
Light and Waterworks departments,
would be by Commissioners, the
method that has proved so successful
in other places. Of course the mea-
sure of success here will depend on
the men selected, The right men will
make it a success, a poor selection will
result disastrously, and the change
will not result in an improvement
over the present system. The Mayor
for 1010 will be one. of the Commis-
sioners ;
ommis.sinners; the other two must be ohosen
for the purpose by the electors.
This is a matter that requires
thought and caro ; the Town can not
afford to run risks by hap -hazard
nominations at the last moment.
These departments aro the most im-
portant of the Town's business, and
require the most careful management
and best judgment, Bence, the neces-
sity for exercising care in the selection
of the Commissioners. Careful, yet
progressive business men should have
the preference, The selection of the
right men is of .the utmost impor-
tance,
Notice To Advertisers.
Changes of advertisements
must be in this office by Mon-
day of each week, otherwise
we cannot guarantee a changt,
and the previous week's ad-
vertisenzent must remain.
Advertisers, in their own
interests, should observe this
rule. Ey doing so, it will as-
sist in getting the paper out
ON TIME, which is a benefit
to the advertisers, readers and
the publisher.
THE ADVANCE
Wedded In London.
On Saturday, November 0tb, Rev.
Wm. Lowe of London performed the
ceremony that made two young peo-
ple from Wingham happy. The con-
tracting parties were Robert Burgess
and Miss Maggie Glenn. They have
taken up their residence in town, and
are receiving the congratulations of
their friends.
Bagged Deer And Bear.
Mr. and Mrs. Thos. Drummond were
very pleasantly surprised last week
by the arrival of a fine deer from their
son Errold of Cutler, Algoma. As
this is Errold's first year hunting, he
has reason to feel proud of his prowess
in the field. As he was going with an
Indian to bring in his deer, be shot a
fine big bear also. He is having both
hides tanned.
Thanks To Advertisers.
The Advance is grateful to its ad-
vertising patrons for the response to
its request for changes of advertise-
ments to be handed in not later than
Monday. This week, changes were
all in on that day. This will make
it much easier for the staff to handle
the work during the winter months.
Let every advertiser continue the
good work.
"A Crazy idea."
The above is the name of Maurice
Hageman's famous comedy in four
acts, which will be presented in the
Opera House on Friday evening of
this week, by members of the Wing -
ham Young Men's Christian Associa-
tion. That there will be ,a bumper
house goes without saying, because
everyone wants to assist the Associa-
tion in its good work, and besides,
there is a general feeling since the
"Handy Andy" concert that our local
actors can acquit themselves credit-
ably and don't need to take a tack
seat with plenty of traveling com-
panies. Tho Citizens' Band will be in
attendance to furnish music during
the evening. The admission is 255c
and 15e; reserved seats, 35e. Doors
open at 7.15 ; concert at $ o'clock.

Court Of Revision.
Judge Doyle presided at the Court
of Revision on Monday last. There
were over 100 appeals, but the pro-
ceedings were shortened by the con-
tending parties agreeing on a number
of the appeals. The result was that
05 names were added and 53 taken off,
Agreement Signed.
The agreement between the Town
of Wingham, the Western Foundry
Co., and the Grand Trunk R'y. Co. re-
garding the footbridge, aro all signed,
There is, as yet, no sign of the com-,
mencement of the work. The addi-
tion of the foot -bridge necessitated a
change in the Company's original
plans for the bridge over the Mait-
land.
To Make Salmon Loaf.
Drain `off liquid from a can of sal-
mon, and with a fork pick the fish
fine ; pick out skin and bones. To the
fish add 1 cup bread crumbs, yolks of
.t eggs beaten light, 4 tablespoons
melted butter, e teaspoon salt, a scant
tr teaspoon pepper, 1 teaspoon finely
chopped parsley, and lastly the whites
of the eggs beaten stiff. Turn the
mixture into a buttered bakipg dish,
and shape into a loaf. Bake e hour.
After Telephone Business.
The Mildmay Gazette says :—Mr,
Geo. Spotton, of Wingham, was in
town yesterday in the interests of the
North Huron Telephone Co. This
company have their line erected to
McIntosh corner, and are willing to
listen to proposals to extend the line
to Mildmay. We understand that the
residents of that section are anxious
to subscribe for the phones, provide
the line is extended to this village.
This is a (natter that our business men
should take up at once, for telephone
connection with that section of the
country would greatly benefit this
place.
SPECIAL BAitGAIN.—A fine farm on
Bluevale Road.—Ritchie & Oosens.
in Twenty -Five Years.
An indication of the advance which
the Canadian west has made in a quar-
ter of a century comes from Calgary.
When the first white child was born
in Calgary twenty-five years ago, the
town authorities endowed the little
stranger with a twenty-five foot lot,
Having reached the age of twenty five
years, the pioneer baby recently sold
this presentation lot. It brought $720
a frontage foot, or $18,000 for the pro-
perty.
Stayed At His Post. .,
Some choir leaders find their singers
take offence easily, and quit, thinking
the choir will then come to an end ;
not so with' these, The New York
Christian Advocate recently told of
Mr. Fred. Moore's connection for
seventy-four years evith one choir at
Stafford, England. It now comes
with the information that Mr. George
Arnold has been a member of Holy
Trinity Church, Boston, Sussex, Eng-
land, for more than eighty years. He
joined the choir in 1829, and still sings
in the -chancel behind his grandson,
who also is a member of the choir,
But the London Mail insists that the
Advocate has not yet reached the
longest career, for it has found the
name of John Siddons, who ie 1814
joined the parish church choir at
Snarestown, and was still in active
service there as a chorister in 1890,
when he celebrated his ninetieth birth-
day.
Lindsay And Pure Water.
Tho following from a Lindsay paper
shoots the relation of pure water to
health ;—"While hi past summers the
Lindsay hospital has had numerous
typhoid patients, not a single sufferer
from this disease from this town has
been in the hospital this past summer.
This singular exemption, itis general-
ly conceded, is due to the excellent
state of the water supplied by the
toir*'i. There were five or six cases of
typhoid all told in the Ross Hospital
this past summer, but these were all
from the surrounding country. Ty-
phoid is, as a rule, caused by bad
water and seldom comes front other
causes, Anyndoctors' Will bear witness
of this statement. Bence the natural
deduction is that Lindsay has remark-
ably ebly pore water. With the old sand

Serious Accident.
A rather serious accident befell Mr.
Wm. Sneath of Wingham on Monday
last. Mr. Snr'i.th has been brakeman
on the London-Wingham train for
some time, but on Monday was on the
main line run. As the vestibuled
passenger train was running into St.
Marys Junction, Mr. Sneath went to
the car platform, and while train was
in motion, by some means fell through
the trap door generally placed over
the steps in such trains. He fell
heavily on to the station platform,
on his face,which was severely cut.
and bruised, the fall rendering him
unconscious for nearly half an hour.
He was brought to his home in Wing -
ham, and is doing' nicely under the
care of Dr. Redmond(

The Physical Training Institute,

sentation of the counties of Huron
and Bruce, and a mot interesting and
profitable day's discussion is reported.
The main theme of the day's program
was the various forms of physical ex-
ercises and games that can be carried
on in a large room without the use of
gymnastic apparatus. Each one who
attended, took away with hien a good
stock of ideas and suggestions and a
good list of physical activities, which
they will try to worse out in the physi-
cal departments of true local associ-
ations during the coming winter. It
is expected that similar Institutes will
be held later on for the religious, edu-
cational and social departments of the
work:
Death Of Mrs. Robinson.
Universal regret wag expressed by

dreamed that I died and went to heav-
en. I knocked at the golden gate, and
was answered by Peter, who asked my
name and address, and told the r'e-
cording angel to bring his book. He
had considerably difficulty in finding
my name, and hesitated so long over
the entry when he did find it, that I
was terribly afraid something was
wrong; but he suddenly looked up and
asked. "What did you say your
name was 1" I told him again,
"Why," Bald he, "you have no busi-
nese here. You're not due these ten
or fifteen years yet. "Well," said I,

Yandell's patients are you ? That ac-
counts for it. Come right in 1 That
man is always upsetting our calcula-
tions in some way."
