If you cannot lie down lean back in a chair and close your eyes. Just forget everything. Rest; relax. Even if you do not sleep, rest. This practice will make you live long- er. It will make you healthier while you do live. It will probably make people want you to live longer. It will take the tangle out of your nerves, the irritability out of your temper, the wrinkles out of your face. It will make your eyes brighter, your face fuller. Try it.

The County auditors in their report make the following statement—That only one report was submitted to us from municipal treasurers as required by, section 291 of the Municipal Act of 1903. This was from Mr. F. Anderson, treasurer of East Wawanosh. The section referred to provides that the treasurer of each municipality, who pays money to the treasurer of any other municipality, shall on or before the 7th day of January make up a statement showing the amounts and dates of all payments thus made for the preceding year, and send it by re- gistered letter to the head of the municipality to which such money was paid.

A glance at the records for Huron county shows that, if not a law-abid- ing people, Huronites ought to be, for this county has on the magisterial list one hundred and fifty-three Justices of the Peace. Either West Huron was considered more dangerous than the other ridings of the county, or else there were more within its bounds whom the Ross Government delighted to honor, for we find that while the East and West ridings together had only sixty-eight magistrates, the West riding was favored with no less than eighty-five. There was no reason to suspect any sudden outbreak of law- lessness during the months of Novem- ber or December, yet we find that no less than forty-two magistrates were appointed in the West riding alone, on or about November 10th, 1901. With eighty-five Justices of the Peace there ought to be peace within our borders. We did not hear of any seri- ous trouble prior to November 10th of last year, requiring the addition of forty-two dispensers of justice, to the magisterial bench of West Huron, but certainly with eighty-five J.

"Philosopher's" Explanation. The Owen Sound Times says :— "There is a gentleman in town who earns the title of The Philosopher, and he has been explaining just why Gen- eral Humidity is so much in evidence. He says that on the principle that cannons are discharged to cause rain, it is quite a philosophic conclusion to credit the Japo-Russian war;,snt1th''tlie' superabundance of: =rtldisture. If the gases from at' few discharged projecti- les can influence the atmosphere, sure- ly a battle like that in the Straits of Corea must affect the whole northern half of this terrestrial sphere. On these deductions we can look for a heavy rain storm to reach us about one week after each big battle and smaller ones in proportion." BIRTHS.

The By-law now before thepro- perty-owners of Wingham, providing for the improvement and extension of our Waterworks system, is a most Waterworks important one. Its adoption by the vote of those interested, on July 5th, will have a direct bearing not only upon our safety fr'onn serious confla- gration (such as recently visited. Brus- sels) but also upon the insurance rates in vogue, and what is of still greater importance, it has a very important relation to the future health of the community, and the welfare of our families. Hence its defeat would be a retrograde movement and an event to be regretted in the years to come. The By-law may be read in full in another column. Iii short, it provides for .the expenditure of $12,000 in the construction of a new flame, the erec- tion of a standpipe and the extension of the mains now in use. The Advance most heartily supports the By-law following reasons : �- for the r g Firstly—Because of the necessity for the improvements the By-law pro- poses. The flume at the wheel -house is in an unsafe condition ; its repair is an absolute necessity. Should it give way (as we are informed there is dan- ger) our town would be without any lire protection for some months, until a new one could be built, and the whole cost of the new one, would pro- bably be levied in one year. There is also a necessity for the improvements from a sanitary standpoint, and if Wingham is to enjoy the same ratio of immunity from diseases that she has in the past, it is high time that a beginning be made in the introduc- tion of an important element, viz.— abundance of water on tap. The old maximi will apply:—It is too late to lock the stable door, when the horse has been stolen. Secondly—The scheme now propos- ed, although it does not include all that many would like, is perhaps the best at present available. It does not discard or render useless any part of the system now in use. The same pumpswill be sufficient we are in- formed); the mains now in use will all be utilized under the new plan. Instead of these being thrown aside, or rendered useless, they become more useful and more valuable, because as reservoir will always be behind therm to furnish water at a moment's notice, the mains being always full of water, instead of air and dirt, as they fre- quently are. Thirdly—If in the future, it should be decided to install a complete sys- tem of waterworks (embracing domes- tic service) none of the improvements now proposed would be lost or useless, hence none of the expenditure would prove "money sunk," inasmuch as the flume, the standpipe and the 11)1111s now laid and the new ones proposed, would each and all form parts of a complete system. Thus, while it may asses a few thousand dollars to the debt of the town, it will give us a very tan- gible and exceedingly valuable mldi- tioe to our assets. Fourthly --The By-law, in short, proposes to add to our present system (winch is weak in sonic points) thi e very essential parts, viz.—new flume, standpipe and additional mains, so that what we now have, with what the By-law authorizes, shall form the greater part of as complete system, to be finished at some future day. In- deed, if the works proposed are carried nut, all that will be lacking, of a com- plete system, will be the supply of water for domestic purposes and the further extension of the mains as rate- payers may request, as the mains then laid, would supply the greater part of the town. All towns the size of Wingham have waterworks (or should have). Sonne towns swallow the whole indebtedness at once, say $10,- 001). Wingham proposes (perhaps wisely) to do it on the instalment plan. As no Chain is stronger than its weak- est link, it wnnld be a disaster to omit the essentials of a .safe waterworks system now proposed, + Fifthly --The annual debt ntui'e for the tKrpaynlent ()f principal and inter- est, is shown in .the By-law to be $736.70. On our present assessment, we figure that this would be about one mill and one twelfth on the dollar, or $1,12 on the $1000 of assessment. This, too, is on the suppositions that there would never be any 11100 ire whatever. But, there is every proba- bility that one orerha ps bout of the railways would take water; the fatc- torfes warm water, the hotels want water, a.nd many citizens would use it for sanitary Imposes. So that (as in rape of the wat;et'works dawn) there would soon be as sufficient revenue to meet the maturing debenture. Mayor Bell Oneidas that before two years DRAM.

Plonginniau ---In West Wawanosh, on Saturday, June. 17th, Edward Ploughman, aged fib. were past, $1000 annual revenue might be assured. ,Sixthly— Wiughaw is placed by the Insurance men in Glass Co and under dresent conditions may be further re. uced. We are informed on good authority that unless th(c defects in our system are soon remedied, there is danger of our being reduced to Class D. This would mean an inerease in insurance rates of at least ten per cent. There is a lar a amount of in- sunance carried in Winggharn, Town property alone is insured for $13,800; school property, for $6000 more. ,An estimate of the premiums paid in Wingharn on fire Insurance would bo from $7,500 to 510,000. I.'ake the low- est estimate and an increase of ten per cent in the rates would mean $750, or more than the annual maturing debenture for the system proposed. Therefore, it will not pay to defeat the By-law. If it carries, we shall have the improvements at little or no cost eventually. If defeated, we shall probably pay in increased insurance, as much or more than would pay the annual debenture, and lose tine reve• nue into the bargain. These appear, to the writer at least, to be veryy, exeel ent reasons, why every citizen who has the best inter ests of -the town in view, should sup). „let, the By-law. But there are others. Possibly these now given may commend themselves to the pro- perty -owners and thus aid in the pas- sage of a By-law, that we believe has a, direct bearing on the welfare and progress of our town.
