"A large variety of different foods should not be eaten at one time, as it will make a disturbance and create a flatulence of the bowels." Although these words were uttered over twenty centuries ago, they are up-to-date and in reality down -to -date, and would proye beneficial to anyone who would cut them out, paste them up, read them daily and then heed them. * * * —Money seems to be plentiful in the Old Land, for within the last four and a half years, Canadian munici- palities have borrowed one hundred million dollars on the London market. The money lords there seem quite satisfied with Oanadian securities, but seeing we want so much, are asking a little higher rate of interest. But if there is great wealth in the Old Land, there is also dire poverty, as evidenced in the larger cities, and in connection with the recent coal and dock -labor- ers' strikes. Possibly in no other country are the extremes of great wealth and abject poverty more frequently seen. The density of popu- lation and the limited agricultural production, help to make the struggle for bread more acute, We wonder not at the large emigration to this Canada of ours. * * * —Politicians in old England have a decidedly interesting time just now, possibly bordering on excitement and danger. What with the unrest over the Home Rule Bill, and the Suf- fragette movement, there must be considerable anxiety as to the final outcome. When the British Premier has to be guarded by policemen, lest he be torn to pieces by women in their fierce demand for the franchise, few will envy him his po: ition. Nor are such actions evidence that the perpe- trators are fit to enjoy the franchise. No doubt the women of the Old Land will yet be given the franchise, but we predict that the Suffragette pro- gramme of window smashing and per- sonal attack, will delay, and not has- ten, the legislation they desire. Little pity for the women, armed with hammers to smash plate glass win- dows and attack politicians, if they do spend a few months in jail. Evi- dently the political arena in the home land has its disturbing influences. The `Alin h ENTRANCE TO NORMAL Another Splendid Record icor VVingham High Schoili.

Hupfer, Oneida Irwin, Lizzie Johns, Adam McBurney, Peter Muir, Arthur Shaw, Luella Shaw, Margaret Webb, Elizabeth A. Welsh, Helen Wilson, Gordon Young. It is readily seen that Wingham High School has maintained its high record, in contributing twenty-one to the Normal Schools for 1912, * * * —Society might manage to exist after a fashion without merchants, lawyers, doctors, manufacturers and plumbers, or even without journalists —although that would be more diffi• cult—and still the great stream of human happiness would not cease to flow, and the world might continue to improve mentally and morally. But without farmers, where would we all be "at ?" Paralyze the farmers' hands for one year and the very foundations of business would be shaken. It is true as one writer says :—The farmer's vocation is‘the highest of all arts, The judicious and methodical farmer extracts abundant leisure for domestic duties and home delights. In the good progress of the agricultural art, he can still hover about his domestic circle, and bend upon it the proper amount of regard and attention. He may not, by some hazardous specu- lation in trade realize a startling in- crease to his hoards, but he is ever certain of competence, and can surely calculate on moderate gain. Better than all else he enjoys the sweet re- pose of heart and mind. The cares and anxieties and acerbities of the great world never reach his happy home. The diseased excitements and prurient amusements of the great city have no charm for him. He revolves about a world of his own." * * * --Why all this talk of war between Britain and Germany ? One day, we read that "war is imminent," next day, we read that both nations are friendly. Why should these leaders among the nations fight, anyway ? Are they not neighbors, their subjects peace -loving, and do not German and Briton live side by side in the same community, the best of friends ? Sad, that both governments are straining every nerve, and increasing the na- tional burdens by maintaining such tremendous naval armaments, that every year sends millions to the scrap -heap. War would be a calarni- ty to both nations. At heart, the German and British people desire peace, but a few idle, useless war alarmists delight to keep up conten- tion, that in the end may result in an outbreak, Just as there are mischief- makers in a community that are only happy when strife is created, so it ap; bears among nations. Or, it may be that some greedy monopolists see a chance for big profits out of an im- mense war expenditure. Suppose that Germany, Britain and the United States resolved not to increase their armaments, and decided to unite their influence on other nations for good. what might they not accomplish? Wars would soon cease and the dawn of universal peace be ushered in, By their firm, wise, united influence such ewilt; as Turkish oris -rule, the unneces- e. .

WINGHAM, ONT., III u .SDAY, A.TTGTJST The Honey Market. Advices indicate a stiffening of the prices. So far the season has been a good one for the yield, but the loss on bees during the winter was heavy, so that a smaller total crop is expected, hence no decrease in the price may be expected.

Paying The Price. The success you envy another, might be yours if you were ready to pay the same price that he has paid. The character you admire has been carved by innumerable decisions in favor of the right and against the wrong. The reputation which is the largest asset of another acquaintance was acquired by consistent upright- ness, Anyone can get an education who is willing to make the' necessary sacrifices. Anyone can have friends, who is willing to do a friend's part. While it is not true that every man has his price, at least in the cynical sense in which that statement is gen' erally made—it is a fact that every- thing has a price. You can have your heart's desire if you are ready to pay what it costs. And Why Not ? What a pretty little park might be made of the waste ground in the rear of the Town Halls?

To have a neglected piece of ground, grown over with weeds and tall grass, so near our fine Town Hall and Postofllce, has a careless slovenly appearance, and is no credit to the Town.

The village of Neustadt is experi- menting with a concrete road running one block on Station street, where the traffic is the heaviest. They are put- ting down 432 feet, 16 feet wide, at a coet of about $325. The ordinary gravel road would cost $111,60 for the same length of road, but it is estimat. ed. that the concrete will last from 15 to 20 years.

Musgrove of Wingham, Mr. Peddle of White- church and Mr. Mathers. That bane of civilization, the liquor traffic, made its presence felt at the Garden Party, and if there were any there who are in sympathy with the traffic, we are sure they must have felt proud of its work. On Monday evening as Mr. John Jamieson of the 10th nae driving through the village, a runaway horse and buggy dashed along the road behind him, minus a driver.

SOMETHING YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT OLIVE OIL If you wanted to buy oak lumber and fbe man delivered yellow pine, you would know the difference. If you wanted to buy silk and they sent calico, you would have no trouble in seeing fhe substitution. It's not so easy however with "Olive Oil." Different so-called Olive Oils look alike and taste oily—but they don't act alike. Just Think this over fie next time you want Olive Oil. We have no fake story about buy- ing it from an "uncle in Italy but we have The Canadian Gov- ernment report on The Oil we sell. Moreover we have tested it chemically ourselves. "IT IS ABSOLUTELY PURE" You can always depend on - geeting a first-class article at this store. J. W. McKibbon Druggist & Optician The Roxall Store We Fit Glasses that give Satisfaction.
