RURAL TRUSTEES PROTEST.
A deputation of rural school trustees
from manv parts of the Province waited
on the Hon. Dr. Pyne, Minister of Edu-
cation, last week. They desired a closer
f understanding^ between the rural school
boards and the department. Mr. J. J
Morrison of Arthureuggeeted the,forrna-
tion of cdneational associations coui.-
poscd of delegatea from kcal trustee
boards in each inspectorate and that
delegates from these inspeotorates form
a rural trustees section of the 0 -Mario
Educational Association, which meets
-Owe a year in Toronto.
Mr. R. O. Bell of Simcoe county stated
that too much power has been given the
inspectors.
James McEwin g of Drayton opposed
the compulsory salary minimum and
hie
military training in the schools. It
r went against their grain to be forded to
do anything against their will. They
would pay good salaries if they could
get the goods."
Mr. Geo. Johnston of Gilchrist claim-
ed that the recent increase in salaries of
inspectors was uncalled for. They
would like to see restored to the
County Councils the powers they form-
erl;. had.
Hon. Dr. Pyne said the Advisory
Council had been iu existence not a year
and if tiome changes should be made in
its personnel they would have to be
considered. The Trustee Boards would,
representation on
he thought, ht, given be
P
the Advisory Council, and all the rural
boards would be notified of their pri-
vileges. If the fivancial buoyancy con-
tinued he could, he believed almost pro-
• mise to send the reports of the Educa-
tional Association to the rural school
boards as well. Everything had been
done for the rural publio schools and
the urban schools had not yet been con-
sidered, thougb complaints had been
Danny, He made an appeal for compet-
ent teachers, and advocated superior
training for them. Tho inspectors, he
claimed, had ofteu been placed in a
humiliating position because of the
power which the County Councils had
exercised over them. That protection
afforded the inspector was very desir-
able, though he did not in any ease agree
that an inspeotor should be able to place
a pistol at the trustee's head. In con-
clusion he said he did not want to do
what the people did not want.

Current loans, not bonded, account for
$4,8e0,208 of the floating debt."
Apparently, the liabilities of 1004 ex-
ceeded the assets, hilt it must be noted
that the former included $4,901,798 in
sohool debentures, for which the mnui-
cipahties assume responsibility, On the

Valuable statistics relative to the
miinioipalities of the province are con-
tained in part three of the report of the
bureau of industries which has just been
published. The collection of the mater-
ial for the return occupies a number of
months, and consequently the figures
quoted are those for 1955. In that year
the population is reported to have been
2,101,260. The total assessment was 81,-
036,910,130. and the taxes levied for all
purposes, including maintenance of the
school system, totalled $16,589,522, or
817 90 a head, a rate of 16 mills on the
dollar. Facts regarding the debenture
and floating debts of that year are not
yet obtainable. In 1904, however, they
were as follows: Debenture debt, $03,-
195,775, or $32 83 a head; floating debt,
$9,509 932. Sinking funds aggregated
$12,516,932, leaving a net debt of $55,-
079,485. This, says the report, "should
be farther reduced by the assets of an
earning power, ench as waterworks,
electric light plants. etc. A large pro-
portion of the debentures issued for lo

gistrates elsewhere. Five of the con-
victions were for the violation of the
Scott Aot. The total amount of fines
impbsed, aside from talose in the Scott

"WHISKY" COLD CURES.
Danger of using Alcoholic Mixtures
or Coal Tar Tablets.
The most dangerous thing that one
oan dowhen offs ted withh a coughh or
cold is to use a medicine that contains
whisky or a tablet that is made of some
coal tar pro.iuct, Patting aside all mor-
al oujections to filling up with whisky or
drugs because one has a colo, the in-
jurious pnysioa' effect should be euffi-
cent to keep one from using these stroug
medicines.
The most sensible as well as the only
scientific way to treat a cough or cold is
by inhaling medication that will kill the
germs and give relief to the irritated
Mucous membrane in the nose, throat
and lungs.
Among the few remedies that are used
in this way, Hyomei stands pre-eminent.
It is breathed through a neat pocket in-
haler that comes with every outfit, and
the first breath of its healing air relieves
the irritation, and its continued use soon
effeote a thorough cure.
The best people in Wingham always
keep Hyomei on hand in the winter
months, and at the first symptoms of a
cold or bronchial trouble, use the remedy
and prevent serious lasting illness. If
yon have any doubts as to the effects of
Hyomei in curing coughs, colds and all
bronchial troubles, the guarantee Wal-
ton McKibben gives yr ith every outfit
should convince yon of its curative pow-
ers. A Hyomei outfit costs el, and if it
does not give satisfaction, Walton Mc-
Kibben will return your money.
Extra bottles of Hyomei, if needed,
oan be obtained for 50c, but the complete
outfit is usually enough to cure several
colds.

When Your Health Falls, What Then?
Good health is the capital of persons
who earn their livelihood with brain and
muscle. Success is for the strong and
alert -for those whose blood is rich and
whose nerve cells are filled with vigor
and energy. It is not pleasant to con-
template what might happen` with fail-
ing health and for this reason it is well
to heed the first symptoms of nervous
exhaustion and to keep health at high
water mark by using Dr. Chase's Nerve
Food.

HINTS FOR THE HOUSEWIFE.
For an impromptu supper the follow-
ing recipes may prove suggestive:
Scrambled Eggs. -Have °hafing dish
ready and put first in the blazer a piece
of butter the size of a large walnut;
when bubbling add the sliced ham and
two or throe eggs well beaten. Stir all
together until the eggs are cooked or
"scrambled," then it 1s reedy to serve.
Lyonaise Potatoes. -Oat the potatoes
into slices and season with pepper and
salt; put four ounces of butter into the
blazer, with two sliced onions, and fry
two minutes; then pat in the potatoes,
stir and fry again until they are a nice
brown; drain off the butter, sprinkle
with chopped parsley and they are ready
to serve.
Grilled Sardines. -Two tablespoonfuls
of batter, choose the boneless sardines,
skinned and drained. When the batter
is hot add the sardines. When cooked
turn them, season with salt, squeeze
over the jnioe of half a lemon and a dash
of red pepper.
Chicken an Surprise. -Should there
bo any cold chicken it is excellent pre-
pared in the following manner: Have
the meat out in dine, allow one table-
spoonful. of butter to eaoh cup of chicken.
While the butter is heating grate in the
quarter of a small onion. one tablespoon-
ful of flour in a cap of cold milk. When
it is boiling add two cups of chicken and
a little celery salt, Season with salt
and pepper.
Potato Salad. -Pare off and slice some
cold boiled Bermuda potatoes, place them
in a salad bowl, sprinkle with chopped
chives, ohervie and parsley, season with
pepper and salt, and tarragon vinegar;
mix well and serve cold.
And Cheerfully 'Poo.

world make feels of themselves for

"Worse than that. Ninety per cent
Of them make fools of themselves for
nothing."
It is often better not to sec an Insult
than to avenge it. -Seneca,
Hot Rolls. -Of course hot biscuit can-
not be had without ample time for pre-
paration, therefore it is well to ponder
on some method of treatment which will
cause ordinary baker's rolls or bread to
assume a semblance at least of freshness.
This is how it may be done by steaming
with but httle trouble: Dampen the
bread or rolls slightly with warm water,
roll tbetn in a damp napkin, place in a
colander over the tea kettle and let them
steam slowly until the crust is tender.
Should they accidently become too soft
place the oolander and its contents in an
oven for a few moments until the crust
is slightly dried.

is a blood or constitutional disease, and
in order to cure it you must take inter-
nal remedies. Hall's Catarrh Cure is

THE DAIRY BARN.
Six Ways In Which. It May Be Vastly
Improved.
'Pere are six ways in which the ay.•
ergge dairy barn can be vastly im-
proved.
In the first place, most of the stables
need better ventilation and light. They,
need mole and better kept window sur-
faces and facilities for changing the air
witltopt exposing the cows to drafts.
In the second place, there should be
a ceiling bgtween the floor of the mow
and the cows. In barns where hay is
stored aver the cows it is dangerous to
leave the defective floor without some
sort of ceiling. The chance of fire Is
much greater, and a sanitary condition
of the stable is almost impossible if the
dust end hay are allowed to fall
through upon the cows.
Third. The stables should have good
floors. Cracks in the floor are breeding
places for bacteria, and they catch and
bold an accumulation of filth that fills
the stables with bad odors.
Tying the Cows.
Fourth. -Tying the cows can be
greatly improved upon. The old fash-
ioned rigid stanchion is neither com-
fortable nor convenient. The cows
should have a small degree of freedom
at least. This can be provided by- the
hewer makes of stancbions or by a.
chain or hater. The great objeetion_to
the Last two is the difficulty of keeping
the cow clean, and right here is the
fifth way in which the stable can be
improved. Fix the gutters so that they
will keep the cow clean and at the
same time save all the manure. I'lave
been In barns where the platform was
so short that when the cow would Iie
down she could not keep out of the
gutter. I' have been in other stables
where the gutter was simply a couple
of 2 by 4's placed upon the stable floor.
Hither practice is bad. The best plan
is to fix the floor in such a way that it
will accommodate the cows and give
them ample room for lying down com-
fortably. Have the gutter about four
inches deep and built water tight. This
saves all the liquid manure, keeps the
cows clean and makes it much easier
to care for the stables and the stock.
Handling the Manure.
, The sitth Point whish comes to my
.mind at this time is an improved meth-
od in lhandliug the manure. Throwing
'it out of,the window is insanitary and
often inconvenient. The manure' piles
up against the barn, injuring the paint
and at the same time losing much of
its value as a _rtilizer. The other
flan of shoveling it into wheelbarrows
and wheeling it out and dumping it in
the,yard is little better. Ilse some )find
of a carrier, an overhead one preferred,
and unload the manure right into the
spreader. The carrier is always out of
the way, there are no unsightly planks
and trestles which are necessary if you
use a wheelbarrow, the manure pile is
avoided, and all the manure is saved. -

Butter and Milk.
The following figures show how im-
portent it is to exercise cart in wash-
ing milk palls, for in an actual experi-
ment there were found in the first
washing 7,359,000 bacteria, in the sec-
ond washing 157,000 and in the third
washiug 38,000.
Best When First Made.
Butter is at its best when first made
and hence should be delivered to the
consumer as soon as possible. More
poor butter and cream come from mid-
dlemen than from dairymen, and the
nearer the producer and consumer can
be brought to each other the better. --
E. G. •Lovejoy, Piscataquis County, Me.
Salable Milk.
The essential points in the handling
and care of milk and cream are, first,
cleanliness in every particular in pro-
ducing milk; second, strict observance
in keeping the apartments where the
cows are housed properly ventilated; .
third, for cream, use separator when
five or more cows are kept, and wash
the separator every time it is used and
keep the cream sweet until wanted for
use. For milk, cool it as soon after
milking as can be done conveniently'
and avoid mixing warm milk with cold.
This rule applies to mills for cheese as
well as market milk. Aerating milk is
probably the most effective, but cool-
ing in cold water if properly done, with
a supply of ice, will fill the bill. -W. H.
Keith, Kennebec County, Me.
Cleanliness the Watchword. .
Every man, woman and child who
has anything to do with the work of
buttermaking from cow to package
should be cleanly and Beat. Uncleanli-
ness is the rock upon which thousands
go down. It is possible to do some
things in a slovenly. manner and yet
succeed fairly well. This is not true
in buttermaking. Every pail, can,
churn, ladle, package, cloth and worker
must be scrupulously free from any-
thing which will inipart a taint to the
finished product. The hands especially,
must be clean.
Won Sweepstakes on Butter.
The winner at one of the most close-
ly contested dairy exhibitions in recent
years under the New Hampshire State
Dairymen's association was J. W. Pul-
sifer of Plymouth, who was awarded
the sweepstakes prize with a score of
08 points. Mr. Pnlsifer writes: "The
cream was twenty-four hours In ripen-
ing at temperature of 01 degrees. No
starter was used. The churning terns
perature was 62 degrees. The barrel
clun•n was used, and the butter was
colored with a very little Alderney but-
ter color. The cows were ;rade Jerseys
and (Yuernseys and 'were fed on corn
fodder and oat hay and a mixture of
cornmeal and mixed feet."
