pure. A few cents will buy an ounce
of saturated solution of permanganate
of potash at a chemist's. Add a drop
of this to aa, tumbler of water, and if it
turns brown it is unfit to drink, if it
remains clear it is quite safe.

Destroys Shade Trees.
Much damage is being caused to the
maple trees in Guelph by the presence
of the "Cotton Scale." This insect is
spreading, and unless some steps are
immediately taken towards its de-
struction !Ruch loss will be caused to
shade trees, The "Flying Beetle" is
the name of the insect responsible for
the affection. It lays eggs in the
lower portion of the tree, and these
should be wiped off with rags saturat-
ed in kerosene before they are allowed
to reach the branches of the trees.
The flying beetle is adestructive insect
with triangular wings and is very con-
spicuous. It would be a pity to have
the beautiful maple trees in Wingham
destroyed, and it would be well to
watch for this pest. •
PLEASE TAKE NOTICE. To accom-
modate our country , customers and

Stratford Horse Sbow.
The Horse Show at Stratford on the
19th, 20th and 21st of September pro-
mises to be one of the greatest events
in the history of Stratford. The citi-
zens seem to be united in their efforts
to have as great a show as possible.
The prize list covers over $2000 in
prizes, besides valuable cups presented
by the manufacturers of Stratford and
the chartered banks. Hon. J. P.
Whitney, Premier of Ontario, is to
open the show. The Government
having examined the prize list and
investigated the conditions of the
show have made a grant towards it of
$200. Perhaps the most interesting
portion of the programme will be the
water jumps which consist of a 3t feet
embankment, on the off side of which
is a trough running the entire length
of the jump and extending 14 feet be-
yond it ; this of course will be a
great
attraction. Special freight and pas-
senger rates will be given. The prize
lists can be had on application to Sec-
retary W. J. McCully. Stratford. The
project is not gotten up for money-
making but for the improvement of
horse -breeding.

Enforcing The Law.
The Clinton New Era says ;—"Li-
cense Inspector Asquith spent most of
last week in Goderich, owing to the
Bowling tournament, and notified the
hotelkeepers .that a rigid enforcement
of the law would be observed. As a
consequence it is said there was no
selling after hours."

An Improvement.
R. H. Crowder is having a change
made in the interior of the store he
occupies. The elevated floor at the
rear of the store is being placed on a
level with the
front floor. This will
give more room, greater convenience,
and better facilities for displaying
goods. A fine arrangement of mirrors
is planned that will snake the rear
part of the store very attractive. Mr.
Crowder carries an up-to-date stock,
and believes in having his shop con-
venient and attractive.

We Enter 33rd Year.
With this issue, the Advance eaters
its 33rc1 year. This week we have
been busy installing one of the latest
types of gasoline engines, and our
local budget is perhaps a little short
on that account but our readers will
.overlook that. Tho future shall find
us diligent and faithful in giving our
readers the best possible service.
Thanking our patrons for their sup-
port, and our faithful correspondents
for their kind efforts, the Advance
turns another page and heads it—
"Our 8.3rd year."
Damage By Hail.
The following from the Mildmay
Gazette shows what damage the hail
sometimes inflicts upon the crops in
the Northwest. The -Gazette says :—
Louis Braun received a letter from his
son Henry of Didsbury, Alberta, in
which ho reports a terrific storm that
took place there a few weeks ago.
Enormous pieces of ice fell, cutting
Henry's crop to pieces ; in fact, he
says he would hardly bo able to find a
straw four inches long. Besides this,
seven cows were killed by the pieces
of ice, and every pane of glass in the
house broken.
Speeding Contests.
As to whether horse racing in con-
nection with the provincial fairs is a
necessary adjunct, in the estimation
of the individuals who govern the
sauce, H. B. Cowan, superintendent of
agricultural societies, has been mak-
ing enquiry. As a result, 144 societies
have declared themselves in favor of
horse -racing, while 126 are opposed to
it. Regarding the restriction of the
amount of prize money given, the
general opinion was that the amount
of prize money for racing should be
cut down approximately to one-third
of the total prize money offered by
each fair.
Room For Improvement.
How is it that people, especially
townspeople, will put off making their
purchases of groceries,etc., etc., until
Saturday night ? They could be wait-
ed on more quickly and satisfactorily
if they purchased earlier in the day.
There is little excuse for ur late purchas-
ing,
t c
P
ing, and the custom entails a great
deal of hardship on both salesmen and
the proprietors. It is just as easy for
00 per cent. of those who are out on
Saturday nights to make their pur-
chases before nine o'clock as it is to
walk about an hour or so and then do
their buying. In many eases shop-
ping can be done in the afternoon on
Saturday. It is not surprising that
after being on their feet 12 to 14 hours
salesmen and saleswomen are physi-
cally unfit to enjoy Sunday,and absent
themselves from church. To say the
least, it is selfish, and late purchasers
show little thought for the comfort of
merchants, clorks and delivery boys.
Perhaps, if the metehants would re-
fuse to deliver goods after a certain
hour, say nine o'clock, It would cause
the buyers to hustle in their orders.
Ten o'clock on Saturday night should
be the outside limit for stores to re-
main open. Those who cannot or will
not snake thele purchases early should
do without, the goods.

The Fresno (Cal.) Republican gives
a full account of a highway robbery
in that city. The occupants of three
rigs and one bicycle were victims. Geo,
Cassels (brother of Mrs. James (Jolley
and Thos. Cassels of Wingham) was
one of the victims. He was driving a
milk waggon, and a bullet went
through his hat. The two robbers
were arrested and one of them cons
fessed, They were held on charges of
highway robbery, and are likely to
get the reward of their deeds, Fortu-
nately Mr. Cassels escaped injury by
putting whip to his horse and getting
away from the highwaymen.
Wingham Defeats St. Marys.
The first semi-final lacrosse game
between St. Marys, winners of No. 4
district, and Wingham, winners of
No. 3, was played in St. Marys on
Wednesday, August 28rd. Much to
the surprise of everyone, especially
the St. Marys people, ZVinghazn Maple
Leafs won a decided victory. The
lightning combination of the Wing -
ham light home, completely dazzled
the big defence players of the St.
Marys team, while the splendid work
of • Winghatn's defence, made it im-
possible for their opponents' home to
secure any advantage, If they did'
get within shooting range of the net, -
Johnston was in the right place at the
right time and made many beautiful
stops. It would scarcely he fair to
individualize the work of our players, •
for every Maple Leaf did his best and
played the game of his lacrosse expe-
rience. The game was kept free from
roughness by the prompt action of
Referee Norman Lambert of Mt. For-
est, who gave entire satisfaction to .:
both teams. During the first quarter,
Wingham scored 2 ; 2nd quarter, St.
Marys 1 ; 3rd quarter, St. Marys 1,.
Wingham 3 ; 4th quarter, Wingham
2 ; total, Wingham 7, St. Marys 2.
The boys speak highly of the treat-
ment they received from the St.
Marys players and also the spectators,
who were impartial with their ap-
plause, cheering both teams when
good play was made. On their return
the Maple Leafs received quite an
ovation. They were met at the sta-
tion by the Band and a large number
of the citizens, and were heartily con-
gratulated. As we close our forms,
the return game is being played on
the park here, and a strenuous game
is in progress, As St. Marys would
have to defeat our boys by 6, to win
in the semi-finals, there is not much
hope for their success and it looks as
if the Maple Leafs were in for the
finals. They have played good clean
games and deserve success.

"SPIRO"
Yon read of it in the prin-
cipal magazines and news-
papers all over the United
States and Canada. "Spiro"
has gained the reputation of
being the best Toilet powder
to destroy - the odor
of per-
spiration.
Other preparations may
appeal oyou because they
aro pe fumed, but
when yon have used them,
the combination of perfume
and the odor of perspiration
will be displeasing to your
associates.
We have a new supply of
"Spiro" in 2uo sprinkler top
boxes, and are now giving
samples.
A pietnt% of Niagara falls
well worthy of framing, is
given with the first 25o box.
