Interesting Meeting.
On Monday evening last, Mr. S. 0,
Smith, 13.A, gave an excellent ad-
dress at the A. Y. P. A. meeting on
"EerlY Cheistianity." Mr. Thos.
Jones rendered a solo which was much
appreciated, There will be no meet-
ing next week, it being Holy week,
and service will be held in St, Paul's
Church eaeh evening, except Satur-
day.
Somebody Must.
Somebody has to mend the socks,
And starch. the frocks,
Somebody has to wash the floors,
And dist the doors ;
Somebody has to boil and bake,
And make the cake,
And fry the steak ;
Somebody has to buy things cheap,
And wash and sweep,
With little sleep—
Thatie m
Good Stock Shipped.
V. R. VanNorman shipped a car to
the West Tuesday morning with some
good things in it in the way of high
class anirnais, including two young
stallions purchased from C. B. Wilk-
inson of 4th line of Morris, which are
a credit to any breeder and will cer-
tainly advertise Mr. Wilkinson as a
„. breeder of Clydesdales of which he has
one of the best foundations in this
province, Mr. VanNorman also ship-
ped the roan team, which has been
admired by the public in this vicinity
for some time, and a pair of high class
drivers with which it will not be
necessary for him to take the dust
from anyone in that windy country.
We wish him every success ii his
undertaking.
The New Health Act.
The new Health Act presented by
Hon. W. J. Hanna, in revised form
and with new pfovisions provides for
the division of the province into ten
health districts. The provincial secres
tary proposes to start with four in
older Ontario and two in new On-
tario. Each district will be in charge
of a medical officer of health, who
would be paid a yearly salary and
would devcte his whole time to tle
duties of his office. Local Boards of•
Health will not be dispensed with, but
the conditions they ignored will not
be overlooked by the district authori-
ties, who will be in a more indepen-
dent position. Mr. Hanna informed
the House that fewer members would_
constitute a local board, and that no
such board could dismiss its medical
officer without the approval of the
secretary of the provincial Board,
under the bill as it etood. While this
looked arbitrary, it really was aimed
to protect a medical officer from local
spite, of which he was often the
victim if he performed his duties with
any degree of conscientiousness.
Telephone Improvements.
Again, Wingham has a practical
demonstration of being one of the
best, if not the best telephone town in
Western Ontario. The Bell TeL Co.o
has commenced the expenditaiee' of
perhaps $6,000 in improvements, in
this town. One of the forward steps
is the enlargement of the offices. The
shop adjacent to the ..central (recent-
ly occupied by Mr. Hewer) has been
leased, and is now being handsomely
and conveniently fitted up as the
public and operating department.
The front will be the public office,
where patrons may enter and find
themselves facing a convenient system
‘,1)
of wickets, cabinets, seats, etc. To
phe right will be a door leading to the
rivate office of the local manager.
To the rear of the operating room will
be the retiring room, ;10A room,
wash-roorn, etc., for the operators,
and to the rear of the nianager's
private aide will be the rack, stores,
etc. A new and enlarged switch-
board will be installed, and every-
thing finished in first-class style. The
cable service, will be extended, and
before the improvements are com-
pleted, it is likely that at least $6000
will be expended. Nothing is too
good for Wingharo, and the Company
is bent on giving the best of service.
The business has developed well under
Mr. l3inkley, the local manager, and
the town now has over 200 phones, eo
that with the North Huron line, over
500 phones will ?Asa operated from
Central. The Advance as a good
word for the obliging local manager,
for Wee Moore, the acemintant, and
for all the operators. They appear to
be always willing, courteous and at-
tentive. Sometimes, patrons may be
impatient, but We fancy that to be a
telephone operator regoires a larger
development of the 'settee of patienoe,
than is found in the ordinary in-
divid,ual. With the completion of the
improvetnents now on the way,
Wingham will have one of the best
Central °ekes in Wekern Ontario.
The Bell Telephone Co. evidently
recognize the impoi tante of Winghem
at; a business centre, and that fact
ought to inspire inereased confidence
in mit town among our own citizen.

Temperance Convention.
A meeting of representatives from
the various Temperance Societies!,
Churches and municipalities of Huron
County is called to meet in Clinton an
Friday, March 29th. The object of
the meeting is to consider what con-
certed action shall be taken by the
municipalities during the present year
to advance the interests of Temper-
ance and moral reform and to plan an
aggressive campaign for Local Option
and the banishment of the Bar.. Ses-
Siena will commence at 10 a.m. in
Wesley Church,
Health Preservers.
There are four eliminating or de-
purating agents of the body, that
should be kept normally active with-
out resorting to drastic remedies.
They are the four chimneys of the
human body, and if any one of the
number becomes blocked or choked
or in any way interfered with, it
causes extra duty to fall upon the
three others. They should be kept
right :-1 The Lungs—by full breath-
ing,. 2 The Kidneys—by water drink-
ing. 3—The Bowels—by proper eat-
ing and drinking. 4 The Skin—by
daily bathing and water drinking.
Examination Dates.
The Department of Education has
announced that the Junior High
School entrance examinations for 1912
will begin on Wednesday, June 19,
and continue till Friday, June 21 ; also
that the Junior Public school gradua-
tion diploma examination will begin
on Monday, June 17, and continue till
Friday June 21. The department has
issued a circular of inatrtictions, in
which it is stated that it is the inten-
tion of the Department .of Education,
by mlintaining a proper standard at
the High School entrance examina-
tions, to improve the character of the
work done in the Public schools and
to prevent the congestion of the High
schools with inadequately prepared
pupils.
Smut Of Oats.
Oat smut is a fungus disease. It is
easily recognized by the dirty black,
powdery appearance of diseased heads.
Take as many gallons of water as you
have bushels of oats to., treat. For
each 12 gallons of water add one
quarter pound of concentrated forma-
lin (40 per cent. solution of formalde-
hyde in water.) Mix thoroughly.
Spread the oats upon a clean floor
to a depth of about three inChes.
With an' ordinary sprinkling can or
with the hand from a bucket, sprinkle
the solution over the layer of oats un-
til the top is quite wet. Stir with
rake or ehovel and repeat sprinkliug
and stirring until all the oats are
moistened, which will require about
one gallon of the solution to every
bushel of grain. After wetting, stir
frequently until dry. All vessels
afterwards used. to carry out to field
for sowing must be immersed in the
solution, If sacks, immerse in solu-
tion and then dry. Formalin can be
purchased at about 130e per lb. and the
whole cost, including labor, will not
exceed 4c per bushel.
Wonders Of The Body.
It is said by those who should know
that a man weighing 150 pounds has
eighty-one pounds of muscles and
their appendages ; twenty-two pounds
of bones, eighteen pounds of fat, seven
pounds of skin, only three pounds
of brain, twelve pounds of internal
organs and seven pounds of blood.
The body is said to contain enough
fat to make about 100 candles, enough
soap to keep its own surface .clean for
a month, enough iron to make seven
large nails, enough salt to fill a coffee
spoon twenty times, enough phos-
phorous for $20,000 matches, enough
hydrogen gas to fill a balloon that
would actually lift the owner to the
clouds, enough carbon to make about
3000 lead pencils, enough sugar (about
50 lumps) to supply the small boy—as
long as they last, enough water to fill
a, half -barrel. All of these materials,
in the quantity mentioned, may be
found in the white and yolk of 1200
hen eggs. The body is a mechanical
marvel, There is not one invention of
mankind which is not crude and im-
perfect in comparison with the similar
device found in his own body. The
late Dr. Latson very aptly put it thus
—.the body i. an incredibly complex
and perfect meehanism. 1 ll archi-
tecture and. mechanics there is not
one device which is not to be found in
the human body. Hinges, levers,
filters, seissore, pulleys, univetsal
joints, valves, a camera, a grist mill,
a bellow, an Aeolian harp, a stringed
Instrument, a wind instrument, a
rveloue irrigation plant, a eeWerage
tem, a telegraph (wireleee, by the
y) an electric battery, arches,
dere, tiling, 2000 miles of tubing—all
se and Many; many other meehttaii-

Introduce Block System.
Plans are now being made by the
Grand Trunk Railway to instal the
automatic block signally system, now
being extensively used in Great Bri-
tain and heavy traffic districts of the
United States, on the lines between
Toronto and Niagara Falls, which is
the heaviest traffic line in Canada ;
and also between Hamilton and Lyn -
dela •Junctions where the main lines
diverge to- Harrisburg and Brantford.
Incidentally, this is the first lin-
portant example of automatic block
signalling to be installed by a. Cana-
dian company in Canada.
A Serious Situation.
The situation in the old land is daily
becoming worse. Monday last was
the 25th day of the coal strike. Three
million workers are idle, with starva-
tion staring many of them in the
face. The scarcity of coal has caused
factories to close, and the industrial
centres are scenes of want and un-
speakable sufferings. No such serious
situation bath\ fa,ced the Government,
and the people themselves, in many
years. It is recognized that some
measures must be speedily taken to
put to an end conditions, which if not
remedied within a very few days,
must result in disaster in the whole
nation.
Tlisn He Goes To Sleep.
Rev. "Bob" Burdette, preacher and
humorist, says :—"Many people suffer
from inability to sleep. There are
a hundred remedies suggested, and it
won't hurt to make the prescriptions
one hundred and one. I am not a
victim of insomnia, but occasionally
some foolish worry keeps me awake
too long, and then I pray a little pray-
er that bas rarely failed to help—
"Dear Lord, take care of the world a
little while. I want to go to sleep."
And do you know, when I wake up
the world is really better than it was
when I let go of it. We mar more
than we help, when we meddle." An-
other writer says :— "When I don't
sleep I just count my blessings, That's
a splendid thing to dol because you
fall asleep before you get to the end
of them."
Have Our Doubts' 1
The editor of this paper once passed
the home of Burbank, the great Cali-
fornia experimentalist along agricul-
tural and horticultural lines. Hence
we were interested to hear of a new
scheme said to have originated with
him. We have no faith in it how-
ever, since we heard that he Was
planting anions and potatoes together.
Of course you want to know why?
Well, it is said that he hoped that the
tear -producing quality of the onion
would so affect the eyes of the
potatoes, that they would weep so
copiously, that irrigation would not
be necessary even in that dry climate,
A California chap put that joke up
to us. Lots of potatoes we get are too
watery now, Mr. Burbank, and we
prefer the city, mealy variety, eepeci-
ally at $1.00 a bushel,

The vote, he points out, is only two.to

union has failed on any basis.
Presbyterians in the northern On-
