—One of the results of the Titanic
disaster has been to draw attention to
the life boat accommodation and ser-
vice on passenger steamers. On her
last voyage to New York, the steamer
Rotterdam carried ten extra, life boats
and besides this, there was a card in
each cabin, inscribed with the name
and number of the lifeboat to which
the occupants of that room were• as-
signed, and also a diagram showing
its position on the boat deck, so that
in case isf danger, each passenger
would know what boat to go to, thus
preventing a panic, and facilitating
escape.

that Province. Bon. Richard Mc-

—The contest for the Presidential

hottest fights in the history of the
Republic. With Roosevelt an ex -
President, and Pres. Taft both after
the nomination, the Republican party
seems hopelessly divided. A number

the bitter contest—the wreck of the
Republicans and a Democratic victory,
or both Roosevelt and Taft may have
to give way for a Republican nominee

Value Of Vegetables.
Spinach, containing as it does a.
large amount of iron, can scarcely be
ignored as a valuable spring vegetable
dish. Rhubarb is rich in oxalic acid,
which does much to tone up the
system. Onions contain much nutri-
tion, but are most valuable for tbeir
pungent oil, which is rich in suiphur.
Asparagus, cabbage, cauliflower and
celery are chiefly valued for their
mineral salts and for the bulk, variety
and relish they give to the diet. Cab-
bage contains a great deal of sulphur
and for this reason frequently causes
flAtulence. Cauliflower, which is of the
same family, is more easily digested.
Celery is said to be more digestible
cooked than raw. Beets, carrots and
parsnips an contain a large percentar
of sugar. Carrots and parsnips vsfn n
young and tender are very nutritious.
To Bee -Keepers.
A valuable pamphlet has been issued
on Bee -Keeping by Hon. Martin Bur-
rell, that every apiarist should secure.
The pamphlet points out that bee.
keeping returns the direct profit of a
honey crop and the indirect one of
improvement to yields of clover seed
and fruit. It is observed that a bul-
lock after being fed and cared for
during an entire winter will not
realize much more than the produce
of a colony of bees in a single season.
This treatise of forty-five pages,
which is helpfully illustrated cov-
ere, in plain language, the whole
field of. agriculture, including equip-
ment, management, the production of
honey and wax, diseases, legislation of
the various provinces against bee dis-
eases, etc. It is designated "The
Honey Bee," Bulletin No. 2 Copies

to the effect that Cold and wet weath-

At The County Council.
Recve McDonald returned on Fri-
day from the County Council. One
of the questions affecting Wingham
vas the distribution of the Hospital
,rant. This had been divided pro -
rata, and there was an effort to have
the $600 divided equally between
Wingham, Goderich and Clinton, but
it was finally decided to apportion it
as follows :—Clinton, $100 ; Wingham,
$250 ; Goderich, $250. Another mat-
ter under consideration was the forma-
tion of another School Inspectorate
by taking three townships from
Huron, Ashfield, Turnberry and
Rowick, and Kinloss, Culross and
Carrick from Bruce, with Lucknow as
a centre. This was voted down. By
glancing at the map, it would be easy
to see a better arrangement", if a third
Inspectorate is to be formed. The
other matter affecting Wingham was
the appointment of a High School
Trustee for Wingham in place of W.
Nicholson, removed. As the Advance
announced last week, Mr. Rich. Van -
stone was appointed. Reeve McDon-
ald is on the alert at the County
Council when anything affecting the
interests of Wingham arises.

Unexpected Death.
This week, we regret to report the
death of Mr. John Thornton, a young
man, in the prime of life. He was
taken ill while at work last week with
appendicitis, On Sunday, an oper-
ation was performed, which it was
hoped would result in recovery, but
other complications set in, and on
Tuesday evening, he passed away.
Deceased was a son of Mr. and Mrs.
Christopher Thornton, formerly of
Wingham, and was a steady, indus-
trious young man, a member of
the A. 0. F., of the Fire Company,
and of the Citizens' Band. He
leaves a young widow and two
children, who have sincere sympathy
in their very sad and sudden bereave-
ment. The time of the funeral is not
decided as we close our forms, his
father and mother being at Aberdeen,
Sask.

Rev. Dr. McKay, preaching at the
Presbyterian General Assembly in
Edmonton last week, said :—"If we

isters in the Canadian Presbyterian
Church and 200,000 consecrated church
members, what would happen ? We
could win the world. The world's
greateet peril is that the church
should fail in her duty. There are
two dangers to which we are to.day
especially exposed because of the rush
in which we live. The first is the loss
of vision of things unseen. The corn
-
menial activity is such that we are in
danger of having our eyes blinded by
the god of this world and of losing the
vision of the Eternal. The second
danger ie loss of conviction of truth."
