across the street from uq, by eneP from the Huron Medical Association,
ehot. on his completion of 50 years in the
Practice of Medicine.
The auto you speak of, I am not as
proud of it as I was the first bike I Wingham, March, 13, 1912
had, tbat had to be driven by Leg &
Walker power, while in Wingham.
Now then in regard to the five
hundred acres of land, I mentioned it
to show you that we were pretty well
planted (as I said) in California, and
can say so far have never once
regretted it, while of course we would
like to have some of our old friends
and acquaintances near toe but we
must say that thisisone of the naost
hospita,ole communities we have ever
been in, and mostly all good Eistern
people.
I might make little further reference
to the land and why I purchased that
quentity. It was not I can assure
you, with any intention of going
farming or ranching as they call it
here (although it e'en be mede a very
profitable business here.) ' I bought it
in block for speculation, and aoa hav-
ing it divided up into ten, twenty and
forty acre lots. It did not cost me
half a hundred an acre, in block, but
I shall make twice that of it before a
year is over. I mention this to show
you that there are opportunities here
for people that wish to take the ad-
vantages of them, not particularly in
speculation, as I am not an advocate
of speculations, but there are great
opportunities to the people that are
willing to get on to the land and put
13tinae energy and brains into it, and it
is really wonderful what this land will
produce when properly worked, as, you
will see from the little pamphlet I
have inclosed, and I wish or hope you
may see your way to copy a few items
out of the pa,miehlet, and print it with
this letter to show what an be done
here. Auy persons doubting it, can
write direct to the Government de-
partment and find out for themselves.
I have seen the most of it thyself, and
can vouch for it, but at the same time
I don't want to give you the opinion
that everybody is wealthy. "We have
the poor with us," just as true, OA it is
written in the good Book of old, but
a good deal of, it comes about from the
fact that they are not willing to go
out on to the land and produce the
necessaries of life. You know also
that you have setae farmers there that
are not making a living, while others
are making enough to add their
neighbor's farm to their own, and so it
is Isere.
In regard to climate, we have found
it everything we expected, neither too
cold nor too warm. We have not as
yet this winter used one cord of wood
for heating purposes, although it has
been called a cold winter here, I
sowed in our garden in December,
lettuce, carrots, beets and onions, and
have had the pleasure of using off
them all winter. Some of our straw-
berries are just ripening and others
are in bloom.
Hoping that I am not intruding on
your valuable space.
Sincerely yours,
WU BUTTON.
The pamphlet referred to by Mr.
Batton above is on the editor's desk.
It, refers to the Coachella Valley,
where one acre is said to fuenieh a
living and five acres is an indepen-
dency, and we emote a few of the facts
given :-O. Robertson sold $1200 wortb
of grapes feorn six acres. 0. Edmonds,
from 35 acres sold over $35,000 worth
ahd refused $50,000 for his 35 acres.
From 3 acres, Otto Geisler had $1,100,
net, for his onions. Another, S, Sav-
age, who only bad afternoons at his
disposal took $2,500 worth off 7e acres.
B. Cavanagh sold $150 worth of to-
matoes from one quarter of an acre.
IL L. Sauers, $1,800 worth from 21
acres. T. L. Gridley sold $500 worth
of summer i3quash from one acre.
Four date palms of Fred Johnson's
began to bear last year and yielded
$110.40 the first yeer. From one-
eighth of an acre, J. S. Kelly sold
$75 worth of sweet potatoes, and Otto
Geisler $150 worth of encumbers from
half ati twee. Evidently, the Ooachel-
la Valley is a fruitful place. Good
land (in sage bub) runs at from $50 to
$100 per acre; improved land $200 per

The reorganized Huron Medical As-
sociation may well feel that they have
met for the first time under favorable
auspices, when they have made their
meeting the occasion to do honor to
their oldest practitioner.
It is not, however, on account of the
time you have served in the profes-
sion, that we desire to pay our
respects, but rather that during a long
service, you have endeavored to up-
hold the aims, the ideals and the
ethics of the profession, Medical men
who keep in touch with the advanced
thought and progress in medicine and
surgery, always belong to the young-
est school, however advanced in years
they may be. This fact, however, is
too often forgotten by the public, who
imagine that the young doctor muet
necessarily know something that the
older doctor has no means of finding
out. We are pleased to note that not-
withstanding your age and strennous
life under conditions by no means so
easy, for a doctor, as they are to day,
you are still enjoying good health,
that your hopes and aspirations are
young, your spirits buoyant, and that
you still retain your love and devotion
to your profession.
You certainly have practised medi-
cine under conditions different from
what they are to -day. You have gone
hundreds of miles on foot and horse-
back, You know by experience what
a trail through the woods and the
blaze on the tree means. You have
faced all kinds of blizzards and snow-
drifts. Swollen streams, mud roads,
or corduroy roads never stopped you
when duty called,
Since you commenced the practice
of medicine there have been many
changes in your own town. You have
seen a blacksmith shop, a small store,
and a tavern develop Into the thriv-
ing town that Wingham now is. A
town well supplied with railroads,
waterworks, and telephones, and
where the electric light has displaced
the tallow candle. In the rural dis-
tricts you see a forest transformed in-
to productive farms, where the binder
has taken the place of the sickle, and
the cradle, and the engine ineet great
naeasure is doing the work of the ox
and the horse. You see rural tele-
phones and rural delivery, and the
country doctor visiting his patients in
an automobile, where only a few year.
ago a buckboard would have been cnta
sidered a luxury. During the last f tw
years, you have witnessed the dis-
covery of the North and South poles,
man disputing with the birds for the
supremacy of the ai,r, and at 1,, a,st the
early dawn of universal peace.
As far as advancement in things
pertaining to our profession is Con-
cerned, we congratulate you On hav-
ing practised medicine during the last
fifty years. The next thousand years
may not add so neuela to raedicine and
surgery, that will be of practical bene-
fit to mankind, as the last fifty years
have; and we know that any thousand
years in the past of the world's history
Ilea not added so much. It is true
that all the arts have made phenomen-
al strides during this period, but it is a
matter for congratulation to 1.18 as
doctors that our profession in all its
branches has kept abreast in the race.
The use of the microscope has raised
the practice of medicine fronr mere
env ricism and placed it on a ecienti-
fie basis. The introduction of ante 4 -
thetics and the aseptic treatment of
wounds have made possible the pre-
sent achievements in surgery. The
clinical thermometer, the stethoscope,
cystoscope, X rays, eta, have placed
diagnosis on a sound bade, while the
advancements made in pharmacology,
serum therapy, sanitation, etc., have
given results that were before impos-
sible. A retrospect and a reflection
ou these things must be a source of
gratification to you.
In as far as your own relation to the
profession is concerned, we can assure
you that your life has not been lived
In vain. You have dohs what you
could to relieve suffering and distress.
You have no donbt felt, as others in
our profestion have, that the idea of a
fee is the deplorable part of the prac.
tice of medicine. Could thie be ex -
eluded entirely, the practice of medi-
cine an.t surgery would be ideal.
Under ouristeserit SySteln, the con-
sideration of a fee cosinot be wholly
Ignored, as doctors have to live like
other people. You however have been
singularly free from avarice, and you
will be t membered for your kind and
generous heart, and as a doctor who
placed duty before every other eon,
eideratiort, Indeed that which Will
afford the greatest pleasure to you in
your latter days will be your con-
eideration toWitede the deserving
poor.

great sclsool of experience.
Did our knowledge of the facts war-
rant it, we would feign make some
affectionate reference to some of your
confreres who have left the scene of
action but who vikorthily held the
bridge while they lived, We believe
that our association should take some
steps to preserve the memories of
these worthies ere time obliteratee ail
reliable information regarding them.
We cannot forget that your latter
years have been clouded by the loos of
your dear wife, but there is at least
some compensation in the recollection
of a, long and pleasant companion-
ship.
In conclusion we would express our
great pleasure in having you with us
on this occasion, and we hope and
pray that you mo,y be long mated to
join us at our gatherings. The time
will come to you ere long, as indeed
it will come to the yonngest of us,
when we will be compelled to hang up
the stethoscope and the scalpel, and
our sincere desire is that we may be
able to look back on our lives with the
feeling that we have tried at leaet to
merit the "Well done,"
Alex. Taylor, A. H. Macklin,
President Sec.-Treas.
This interesting episode over, the
physicians turned their steps towards
Johnston's restaurant, where an ele-
gant and appetizing dinner awaited
them, served in Mrs, Johnston's ex-
cellent style. During the dinner, Mr.
Morton'e orchestra furnished several
selections. During the evening Miss
Estelle Griffin, Dr. Gaudier and Geo.
°fine furnished vocal selections, that
were enjoyed and appreciated.
No more succesefal or' enjoyable
meeting has been held by the Associ-
ation than the one held in Winghara
on Wednesday, March 13, 1912.

Special 'Council Meeting.
A special meeting of the Town Coun-
cil was held on Saturday evening.
The chief business was the consid-
eration of the agreement in force
between the Town and Howson &
Broclebank for water. It was decided
to give the necessary eix months'
notice of intention to terminate the
agreement.
Death Of Clara P.„Brock.
Heavy indeed is the burden of sor-
Isere that has fallen Upon the home
ef Mrs. E. Brock, by the death of her
daughter, Miss Clara, For several
weeks, she had suffered intensely from
that very painful afflictien, inflame -
tory rheumatism. Until Tuesday of
last week, she was carefully nursed
in the home, and it was then decided
to remove her to the hospital. Here
too, she received every attention, but
her sufferings continued, and during
Sunday forenoon, she passed to abet-
ter home, where pain and sickness are
never experienced. Clara was a good
girl, a member of the Methodist
Church, of the Epworth- League, and
of Mrs. Morton's Bible class. She Was
a bright, clever student of Form
Wingham High School, looking for-
ward hopefully to the future. But in
the bloora of youth at the age of 18,
after weeks of intense suffering, her
earthly career has ended. It is dif-
ficult under such circumstances, to
dry the tear of sorrow, or offer help-
fal sympathy, and yet we are assured
that "All things work together for
good to them that love God." So far
as human sympathy can be useful in
helping to lighten the !Darden of grief,
Mrs. &oak and family have it, in this
dark hour of sorrow. The funeral
took place on Wednesday, service be-
ing held in the Methodist Church, and
was attended by a large nurnber of
sympathizing friends, Rev. Dr. Rut-
ledge conducting the service, assisted
by ,Rev. E. H. Croly of St. Paul's.
Upon the casket were laid many
floral tributes; among them, the fol-
lowing -from the Eureka, Bible Clem,

Senior League, Mrs. Morton's Bible

Loss After Loss.
Mr. John Mc0Zeight has had one
trouble after another in close suc-
cession, and still they come. Not so
very long ago his wife died, and he
was laid aside by pneumonia; then
one of bis sons was laid low by illness.
Just as he had begun to get once more
on his feet, and near the close of a
hard winter's work, one of his beet
horses died. This was noted in the
Advance two weeks ago, On Thurs.
day last, his boys let the cows out to
get water, and seeing that the bars
were up, left them out a short time.
In some way or other, the cattle nosed
the bars down, got on to the railway
track, juet as the freight train came
along. One fine cow was ki'led, and
another, so injured that it may
have' to be killed. It is not
much wonder that Mr. McCreight is a
very much discouraged man. The
Advance hopes that there are better
times ahead for him, and that the sun
of prosperity may yet shine upon
hie path.
Death Of Mrs, Cunningham.
Friday afternoon last brought sud-
den bereavement to the home of Mr.
J. J. Cunningham, President of the
Western Foundry Co. As the hour
of six o'clock approached, Mrs. Cun-
ningham was engaged preparing the
evening meal, when suddenly the
messenger of death came, and in a
moment, she had passed away. Mrs.
Cunningham's maiden name was
Mary Ann Maddigan ; she was born
in Port Perry, and was married to
her now bereft husband twenty-three
years ago, and came to Wingharn in
1902. To them were born five children,
none of whom are living. Deceased
had for many years been afflicted
with asthma, which it is thought
weakened the action of her heart,
finally causing her death. Mie. Cun-
ningham was a member of the Romen
Catholic Church, and service was held
in the Church of the Sacred Heart on
Monday, at 9 30 a.m., by Rev. Father
Blair. Interment took place in Tees -
water cemetery. • Mrs. Cunningham
was 47 years of age.
Residence Burned.
The Advance regrets to report the
loss that came to Mr. A, M. Fralick of
the Oth of Turnberry on Wednesday
afternoon of last week, after we had
gone to press. On that afternoon,
Mr. Fralick'e residence and all its
contents were destroyed by fire. Mrs.
Fralick had gone to see a sick friend,
the children were at school, and after
getting his dinner, Mr. Fralick ex-
amined the furnace, and everything
appeared perfectly safe. He then
went out to the barn, where he was
busily engaged working for a length
of time. During the afternoon, neigh-
bors noticed the house on fire, and
gave the alarm, but when Mr. Fralick
became aware of the fire, it had gain-
ed such headway that nothing could
be saved, and house and contents were
a total loss. There is only a small
insurance, and the house was substan-
tial and cotnfortable. The loss of his
dwelling, and household goods, especi-
ally at this season of the year, is a
very serious matter. Even the cloth-
ing of the family Was destroyed, and
a fresh start must now be made at a
heavy outlay.
Wawanosh Pioneer Gone.
On Saturday, March 16th, there
passed away at his residence in Wing -
ham, Mr. Thos. EL Taylor. Deceased
was born in Durham, England, and
came to Canada with his parents
when ten years of age, settling first in
Nassaga.weya. In 1851, Mr. Taylor
came to this section of country, taking
up land in East Wawanosh, then a
new township. Hence he may pro-
perly be regarded as one of those
hard -toiling pioteers who did so much
toward laying the foundations of pre-
sent prosperous conditions. For many
years, he was active in municipal
life, being Reeve of the township, and
later, Warden of the county. Mr.
Taylor -was industrious and frugal, a
good neighbor, and in political mat-
ters a stauoch Liberal. He retired
frona farm life about eight years ago
and carne to reside in Winghara. The
illness which resulted fatally on Sat-
urday last, attacked him about four
years ago. The funeral took place on
Tuesday to Bethel cemetery, West
Wawanosh, Rev. Mr. Miller of Au-
burn officiating, Deceased was in his
81st year.

From Sunny Alberta.
The Camrose car of Alberta pro-
ducts reached Wingham Saturday
afternoon and was visited by a large
number, anxious to see what Alberta
could produce. Cataarose lies south-
east of Edmonton, and is only six
years old, yet it has the O.P.R., G.T.
P., 0.N.R,, giving it first-class ship-
ping facilities, so that already it, is
called "the railway city," In order to
advertise the advantages of that dis-
trict, the scheme was planned, that
has resulted in a, tour of the Cantroee
car, containing eample products of
that district, Some of the leading
men of the Town accompany the car,
but as several of them were formerly
residents of Ontario, the *week -end
tailed them to visit scenes and ac-
quaintances of former days. We
found Mr. Maxwell, Town Eegineer,
and Mr, Fox, a successful fanner of
the Cararose district, in charge, cour-
teous, and accommodating. They

Wedding Bells,
On Tuesday evening, March 12th, a
very pretty wedding was solemnized
at the home of Mr. Jno. Bush, Maple -
dale, Turnberry, when their seoond
daughter, E. Lillian and Waldo E.
Weir were united in the holy bonds of
matrimony. Shortly after five o'clock
the couple, unattended, took their
places under a prettily- decorated arch
to the strains of Loherigrin's wedding
march rendered by Um Hartley of
Clinton, sister of the groom. The
bride looked mete charming in a
dainty gown of all-over embroidery
and carried a bouquet of white and
pink carnations. The ceremony was
conducted by the Rev, R. E. Collis of
Wroxeter. After the ceremony, the
company retired to the dining -room
where a sumptuous meal was served.
The evening was enjoyably spent in
music and games. The following day,
the happy couple left for a short trip.
The bride's going -away gown was of
blue French broadcloth with hat to
match. On their return the young
people will take up their residence in
Rowick where the groom is a pros-
perous young farmer. The best
wishes of a large circle of friends go
with the happy couple.
About Beaus:

For he,rd working men and. robust
children beans are one of the best and
cheapest of foods. They largely fill
the place of meat. When nicely cook-
ed they serve to vary the menu, and
not nearly enough of them are served
at our tables. It is a good idea to
have "bean night" once a week. Here
are a couple of good recipes, For
Boston Baked beans, take 1 pound
pork, sliced, 1 tablespoon mustard, e
cup sugar, pepper and salt. Boil 1
quart of beans until skins break open
(having 1 teaspoon soda in the water)
then di ain. Place 2 or 3 slices of meat
in bottom of bean pot (a well glazed
crock or deep granite dish answers the
purpose) add a layer of beans, a little
of the mustard, sugar, pepper, and
last if pork is fresh; continue until
bean pot is full, leaving a little pork
Lor top. Fill bean pot with water,
keep covered, and bake all day in a
moderate oven, adding water occasion-
ally. Serve hot, They are nice
warmed over. For Scalloped Beans -
To those who tire of baked beans or
whose stomachs cannot digest beans
and pork, try the following :-Boil 2
cups common white beans until they
crack, drain, add melted butter, pep-
per and salt; mash with potato mash-
er; put in your pudding pan or baker,
add the liquid from a can of tomatoes,
cover thickly with ground peanuts,
then a layer of bread or cracker

Presentation Of Medal.
On Friday last a large number gath-
ered in the Connell room to witness
the presentation of the Royal Humane
Society's Medal to Wm. Haines, son
of Mr. and Mts. W. J. Haines of town,
for an act of bravery in saving a
young comrade's life, on Christmas
day 1911. The circumstances were
these: - Earl Johns, Frank Gal-
braith and Gordon Buchanan were
skating on the lower dam on Christ-
mas day, and ventured out too far,
where the ice gave way, and they
were plunged in the water. Two of
them succeeded in getting out, but
Earl Johns was not able to do so.
The others gave the alarm to Will
Haines and .Rich, Lloydwho were
playing hockey near the shore.
Boards were torn frora a fence near
by, and by placing these judiciously,
Will Haines was able to reach the
now chilled and almost sinking boy.
In recognition of his prompt and suc-
cessful effort, the young man was
presented with the medal of the Royal
Humane Society, on Friday evening,
Mayor Spotton occupying the chair.
An excellent address was made by A.
11, Musgrove, M.14.A„ who then hand-
ed the modest, young life saver, the
handsome medal. Addresses were
also given by Messrs, F. Buchanan, 3,
C. Smith, and. Rev. E. EL Cob'.
"He's a jolly good fellow" was sung
and the company separated. The
medal is suitably inscribed with the
name of the recipient, and date of the
event for which the medal was
given.
