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 Weald receive noeoet n froth otd Who Shall They Be ? 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. More Than Wag Expected. The Goderich Star reports that "a Goderich township farmer's Wife, who recently bought some bread at Clin- ton, cut in two a mouse in the centre of a Ina The rodent teas not con - muted for food." Th-ts lady gat more than she paid for, but honestly de- alined to eat (neat when the only paid for bread, 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 ; typhoid Tittered water many' cases of yl were In town, The first season of ozone pnrtfled water has passed With. out a leingie CMS of typhoid fever." 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( Dainty Mode is the name of the best light Rubber for ladies and gents. See them at W. J. Greer's. Y. M.

Several of our exchanges report the blossoming of roses in the second week of November. What does that mean? Mild weather of course. Whoever was responsible for hav- ing the muddy crossings cleaned off for Sunday, deserve`the thanks of our citizens. Why not keep them cleaned off ? The Physical Training Institute, held in Stratford Y. M. C. A. last Fri- day, was attended by a good repre- 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 our citizens on hearing of the death of Mrs, Annie Robinson, relict of the late Charles Robinson, and daughter of Mr. John Stein of Wingham. Mrs, Robinson was highly respected, and had resided in town since the death of her husband about nine years ago. She was a member of St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church. She had been in her usual health until about two weeks ago; later her case assumed a critical aspect, and on Sunday last ehe passed tee her eternal rest. She leaves an aged father, three sisters—Mrs. 0. Rintoul of East Wawanosh,111rs, Wm. Pardon and Mrs, James Purdon of Whitechurch; also six brothers—Ara' drew of Ashfield, Albert, Robert and dames of Saskatchewan, 'William of Dakota, and John of 1 ineardiee. But none of these will miss her so much as her now orphan son, Leonard, aged 18, Who is left alone in his boyhood without a mother's care. Mrs, Robin- son was In her 4uth year. The funeral took place on Tuesday from the resi- dence of her Atter, Mrs. Xtlntoul. On November 22nd, 1004, the wea- ther was so fine that there was bowl- ing on Wingham green. It looks dif- ferent at time.of writing. Prof. Hicks predicted for this week, r rough weather on the lakes, with rain, , sleet and snow. These came along on time, The period ends up with colder weather. The Advance regrets to hear that Milton, son of Mr, and Mrs, H. Road- house is 111, and it is feared that it may develop into fever. Milton is a bright, gentlemanly boy, ' and we hope to hear of hie speedy recovery. Wingham is losing another good citizen in the person of A, Kingston, He left for Brandon, Man., last week, but will not move his family at the present. He was a valued member_ of the Band and will be missed in that organization. Mr. J. Hewer is making further im- provements to his already up -to date tonsorial parlors. This week he is having a bath -room fitted up and the necessary equipment installed. This will be a convenience that the young Men of town will appreciate.

As Mrs. Grif- fin is nearly 80 years of age, and is ill with pneumonia, her condition is serious, Upset The Calculations. The late Dr, Yandell was fond of telling the following joke :—A lady patient one morning greeted him with the remark, "Doctor, I had such a singular dream about you last night." "Indeed. What was it?" "Why I 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, "Dr. Vanden said—"Ob, you're one of 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."

The Toronto Star makes this perti- nent inquiry : Of what use is it to drill a boy in writing, arithmetic and book- keeping if he Pt allowed to retain a rudeness of manner and a slovenliness of person that cause a prospective em- ployer to reject him, or an actual em- ployer to dispense with his services as soon as possible ?
