Hughes, Minister of Militia, has issued the following statement regarding volunteer camps :-"There will be no intoxicants sold in camp so long as I am minister; of militia. The government will not act as bartender to serve drinks to follows who are foolish enough to be addicted to the s • '" habit, Canteens will not be re-estab- lished, Experience has shown that selling liquor within the camp is a mistake. The government is not re- sponsible for any soldiers who patron- ize hotels outside the camp. The military authorities have no jurisdic- tion outside the lines." * * * --If the Northwest retains its fertili- ty for even a few years, all the rail. ways, old, new, and projected will be busy. According to statistics, there are still fifteen million bushels of grain in the Canadian Northwest and it will practically take all summer to ship it out, though nearly 150,000 carloads went over the Canadian lines between September lot and May 31st, Possi- bly as western lands give out their fer- tility so readily, it may not be many years, before the farmers there may have to adopt new plans and raise less wheat, but give more attention to dairy products to conserve the fertili- ty of the soil. Even then, the vast in. crease in the population will render the increased railway accommodation necessary, „* -The Royal Society of Canada has originated the suggestion that the present calendar be changed so as to afford some uniformity in the divi- sions of the year, and the Canadian government bas promised to take the matter into consideration. The pro- posal is to divide the year into thir- teen months of four weeks each, which would greatly simplify calcu- lations of all sorts. It would be per- haps easy td make the change legally, but unless other countries adopted the system, there would be endless con- fusion. To have all the months con- sist of four weeks might be conveni- ent, but as we have got so accustomed to "things as they are," it might be just as well not to disturb existing ar- rangements, * * * ---One person gathers ; another scat- ters. One rakes in every dollar, and carefully hoards it up, and enjoys the process. After a while, those same dollars pass into the hands of another, who takes quite as much pleasure out of the reverse process, viz., that of scattering those carefully collected, mu 3h-tre t,su. e 1 dollar i. While the late Russell Sage was in the flesh he was one of the most prudent, shrewd and persistent money -grubbers in New York, and when he died he left in the hands of his lone widow a fortune of something like $75,000,000. Since becoming possessed of this enormous fortune she has worked as persistently and assiduously in scattering the money as her husband did in gather- ing it. She is reported to be failing in health, and her task is only begun. Should she be taken from the world, thousands will regret her departure, and it is very earnestly to be hoped that further care of the property will fall into good hands, * * * -Under the new health Act the province is divided into districts, and Huron county falls in District No. 2 ),,.,, comprising the Counties of Bruce, Dufrer•in, Grey, Huron, Perth, Well- ington and Waterloo, with head- quarters at Palmerston. Dr. T. J. McNally of Owen Sound has been•ap- pointed Health officer. The Health Officers must report for the prescribed course of instruction August 1st next. An examination will be held at the close of the term of instruction, and upon the results of this examination will depend the tenure of appoint- ment. There is perhaps a danger, that in the meantime, owing to the change, local Boards may await in- structions from the central offluer. They should not, but still look after sanitary conditions. We understand there are places in town requiting at- tention, and we have twice been asked for the names of those composing the Board of Health. They are ---Dr. R. 0. Redmond, Medical Health. Officer, Mayor Spotton and A. E. Porter. Abandoned The Idea. The following from the Western Foundry Co. will be of interest to our readers :-- To The Editor Of The Advance DEAR SIR- We noticed in your issue of the Oth inst. in the article re- garding The Western Foundry Com- pany, that it stated that we proposed having a boarding house and store in connection with our new plant. This idea was entertained at one time but was abandoned some t.irne ago, Yor u w Truly, The Western 1 oundry Co. June 13th, DU In reference to the above, the editor may say that when be was shown the plans, he was not informed that the idea had been abandoned, hut remark. ed that he thought it would scarcely 1~fefairto the merchants and boarding - )261280 keepers of the Town, for the Oon3pany to lanneh a scheme of that kind and thus enter into connp ...etitlo n with those who had supported the by-law. Hence, the Advance is much pleased to hear that the .scheme has been abandoned. The Win High School Notes.

Smith's Bible class of the Methodist Sunday School, recently purchased a tent for him, so that during the warm weather, Har- old can live in it. It was a very kind and thoughtful act, and the recipient appreciated it very much. Good Trout Fishing. R. H. McKay and a friend were out in the trout hatpin:O n Monday and certainly were' very successful. They brought home 42 speckled ibeauties, and 28 of them were at leak twelve inches loll.

A warning is issued to all people who retain the welcome shade afforded by the trees during the summer months to go out with a lighted torch and burn the homes of these pests before their damage can be carried to any great extent. Choral Society Concert. The Wingham Choral Society will give a musical entertainment int the Town Hall, on Friday evening, June 28, The programme promisee to be of exceptional merit, the numbers in- cluding :-The Rising of the Clans bas- ed on Scott's Lady of the Lake by Ros- sini ; Handel's Hallelujah chorus from "The Messiah," with other selections both Scotch and humerous. The pro- ceeds are to meet current expenses ; any surplus will be applied to the raising of the musical status in the town, As the society is purely an educational and ennobling institution, and as it is composed solely of local talent, it is anticipated that a large audience will be present.

The Fire brigade was led by the Acting -Chief, ex -Mayor Holmes, and to the solemn music of the "Dead March in Saul," by Band, the procession wended its way to the cemetery. Rev. Dr. Rutledge con- ducted the services, and at the grave, the Band played "Nearer My God To Thee." Although the remains were kept several days, Mr. Christopher Thornton of Aberdeen, Sask. (father of deceased) did not reach here in time for the funeral, having been detained fifteen hours by a railway wreck.
