CABIN LINERS SET NEW STANDARD1 Urwr rHht—A general view of the vessel looking aft. Upper left—An interior view showing the cabin smoking room with its luxurious decorations. Lower—“The Duchess of Bedford’’ a* she appeared when coming up the St. Lawrence Riven. Inset—‘Capt. H. Sibbons, commander of the “Duchess «C Bedford.” pROOF that the St. Lawrence route is rapidly in creasing in popularity and that an era of con tinued prosperity is predicted for her ports, is shown by the addition of four new cabin class liners of the anew “Duchess” type to the Atlantic fleet of the 'Canadian Pacific. The Duchess of Bedford, leader of this quartette .of the largest liners to Montreal, arrived in that port at 8.45 p.m. June 8th, having completed her maiden •voyage in exactly seven days after leaving Liverpool. 'The liner is over 20,000 tons gross register, is oil iburnihg, two-funnelled, and measures 600 feet in llehgth and 75 feet in width. She will carry Cabin i Class, Tourist Third Cabin, and Third Class passen gers. In each class broad deck space is available, ♦and accommodation is fat superior to more expensive ♦quarters on Atlantic liners of not long ago. The three ♦sister ships of the Duchess of Bedford, now under ♦construction in the shipbuilding yards of the Clyde, ♦are the Duchess of Atholl, Duchess of Cornwall, and JDuohossf of Richmond. , The discoveries of radio engineers have aided in "'making the Duchess of Bedford an outstanding mar- personality. For instance, while the ship’s The following notice was display ed outside a village church in Corn wall. “On Saturday night a concert will be held, to be followed by a pas try supper.

The pain continu ed and his son insisted that he see a doctor and have his tonsils taken out. The doctor advised that this be done. A few weeks later the son returned to the city from a business trip, and greeted his dad with “How’s the foot, father?” “Oh, it’s fine! Would you believe it, just yesterday I found a. nail in my shoe!” KELLER—REICHERT An interesting matrimonial event took place at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Peter Deichert, Sr., Hay Township, <at five o’clock on Wed nesday afternoon, September the 12, when their daughter Frieda Anna became the bride of Edward Conrad Keller, son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Keller, also of Hay. The sitting room was decorated with a profusion of Gladioli and Asters, and Rev. Mr. Tuerkheim performed the ceremony before an arch of evergreen and streamers. While the Lohengrin Bridal Chorus was played by Miss Edith May McBride, the bridal party took their places. The bride, who was given in marriage by her bro ther, Jacob, was attended by Miss Susie Deichert, of Stratford, as bridesmaids Mr. Edward Weganast supported the groom. The bride was beautifully gowned ini poudre blue crepe romaine with silver trim mings, silver hose, gloves and slip pers to match, and a white embroid ered net veil in cornet style with a wreath of orange blossoms. The bride’s bouquet was of Sunburst Roses showered with valley lilies and maiden hair fern. The bridesmaid, whose bouquet was of Butterfly roses and maiden hair fern, wore a sleeveless gown of shell pink georg ette over silk crepe, flesh hose, black ’ satin slippers and. a pink mauve felt hat. Wedding dinner was served to about ninety guests at prettily decorated tables in pink and. white dahlias and fern. Mr. Jacob Deichert and Mr. Adolph Kel ler assisted the bride and groom in serving refreshments. The Zurich Jubilee Band and the McBride Or chestra furnished the evening’s pro gram. The gifts to the bride and groom were numerous and costly.

Loud-speakers also simplify the transmission of orders to the forecastle, crow’s nest, and docking-bridge. Other interesting facts about the construction of the Duchess of Bedford are that the twin propellers weigh 16% tons each, and the 186 foot steel shafts connecting them with the powerful turbine engines weigh about 108 tons. Nearly two million rivets were used in the ship, totalling 1,000 tons in themselves, some of the plates’ having as many as 650 rivets each. The advent of the “Duchesses” greatly increases the passenger and freight services maintained by the Canadian Pacific on the St. Lawrence route. The schedule of passenger sailings had already been in creased this summer by speeding the "turn about” of the Empresses from a four-weekly basis to meet the expected expansion of traffic. The “Beaver” class of ships, newcomers to the St. Lawrence also, have been placed by the Canadian Pacific on ah exclusively freight service. They run regularly between Montreal and London and continental ports, making almost as good time aS the passenger liners. MILLS—CHITTIC’K Qu Wednesday, September the 5th at the rectory, Granton, the mar riage was quietly solemnized, of Net* tie Evelyn Chittick, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Chittick, and Fred erick Mills, son of Mr. and Mrs. S. Mills. The bride wore rose beige satin-faced crepe with Chantilly lace and hat, shoes and hose in match ing tones. After the ceremony, performed by Rev. J, Atkinson, the happy couple left by motor for Detroit, Whitmore, Charing Cross and other points. The bride donned for traveling a navy charmeline coat with satin trimmings and accessories to match. APPLES ARE SCARCE After ,a thorough survey of the orchards in the surrounding district, with a view to ascertaining the ex tent of the apple supply that might be expected if he opened up his evapo rator here. Mr. Frank Clark, the proprietor of the local drying plant, decided on Friday to abandon the idea of trying to operate this year because he found that there were practically no apples to be had. “What little fruit there is, is of a very poor quality,” he said in speak ing to The Journal-Argus, “so I think the best thing I can do is to let it go for this year.” This is the second year in succession that the evaporator has remained closed,, due to a poor supply of apples. The late spring frosts apparently ruined the prospects for a bumper crop of Pip pins in this part fo the Province. BABY GIRL HAB BIARRHSA -WHEN CUTTING TEETH Mrs. A. J. Murray, Gull Lake, Sask., writes:—“Laat summer, my baby girl wm cutting teeth and became very weak with the effects of diarrhoea. I didn’t know just what to do for her as she couldn’t retain anything. At last on» of my neighbors said to me, ‘Haven’t you any l<awb7< why, I wouldn’t be without it where there are children.’ “My husband went to town and got a bottle, and the very first dose helped her wonderfully, and in three days she was well over the diarrhoea and was running around as well as ever.’’® Put up only by The T.

Teeth and Gyms Will Be Good If Diet la Right. 3o long as the diet is normal It ta impossible to cause carles of teeth or pyorrhea by maintaining fermenta tion |n the mouth, or by feeding, or injecting the bacteria of carles. This strong statement is found In the twelfth of a series of letters to the Dental Digest, written by Dr. P. R. Howe. Dr. Howe is o£ the For sythe Pental Infirmary In Boston, In which position he has had exceptional opportunities for study and observa tion. Putting it another way, he says cavities cannot form in teeth and th* gums cannot develop that important disease, pyorrhea, if the diet is as it should be. Dr. Howe favors keeping the teeth and mouth clear. He would havs us continue all necessary wash ing and brushing, but thinks thera should be some change-in our diet. The diet he advises consists princi pally of milk, fruits and green vegetables. The prevention of the tooth trou bles of the child should begin with the diet of the expectant mother. Nearly all the first set of teeth and some of the permanent set are form ed at the time of birth. The period of formation of a tooth is much more important than the period of erup tion. Prevention through proper dieting is important in the earlier years of childhood. One of the points made by the men who hold this opinion is that the most important factor in tooth decay is poor quality in the tooth structure. Fine, microscopic studies of the teeth sometimes show faulty structure when the naked eye appearance indi cates nothing wrong. However, the naked eye examination of teeth aome- times gives us a fair notion of their quality. The beBt teeth are yellowish in tinge. The beautifully white or bluish white tooth are lacking in a something which makes for durabil ity, strength and resistance to decay. As has been said, Dr. Howe, while stressing the importance of diet in the prevention of tooth troubles, does not advise neglecting the cleanliness of the mouth. Seaweed Not a Weed. If “weed” is to continue as the name for a plant for which no use has been discovered, thGn seaweed will have to change its name. After prolonged research, a pro cess has been found in which seaweed is utilized in the production of algin and alginates. Algin is a substance similar to starch and gum arabic in its properties, but in many respects superior to either. With a viscosity fourteen times that of starch and thirty-seven times that of gum arabic, it is of greater advantage than starch in sizing and finishing fabrics, for it fills the cloth better, is tougher and more elastic, transparent when dry, and is not act ed upon by acids. Algin will un doubtedly be used in dyeing and coloi- printing and in the sizing and coating of paper. Seaweed, loo, has for some time been known as a.source of iodine. Seedless Persimmon. The native American persimmon, which has long been an object of much local appreciation but has never been widely cultivated, is booked for a course of improvement which may put it into the class of highly desir able orchard fruits, says a Science Service bulletin. According to a communication in the Journal of Heredity, a search is being made for promising trees that bear seedless fruits. Such specimens are known to occur occasionally in nature. Robert T. Morris, of Stam ford, Conn., is undertaking to pro pagate seedless persimmons found In the northern part of the range of the species, and Dr. J. E. Cannaday of Charleston, West Virginia, will culti vate trees found in the south. The two men invite anyone who knows of a seedless persimmon tree to cor respond with them. On the Isle of Wight. The New York authorities are said to be seriously concerned over the congestion of the business quarter, where it is reckoned that “there is not standing room for a quarter of the people in the skyscrapers,” says a writer in the London Observer. Yet we are in no real danger, even in the most populous countries of havitig to walk on one another’s heads. One can always recall the consoling cal culation that there is standing room on the Isle of Wight for the entire population of the gJobe. It would be a tight fit—about four persons to the square yard —but it could be managed. Foch on Sleep. Marshal Foch is among the world’s great men who have the faculty of closing their minds at will to big problems and sleeping serenely. He declares that throughout the drama tic events he has experienced he has never felt worn out. He has always slept well, and even if he were awak ened by a subordinate who wanted to enquire about an order, he could go to sleep again immediately after wards. Ode to a Lion. To prove his theory that animals can be conquered by appealing to their artistic sense, M. Louis Balgara, a French poet, goes into a cage of African lions at the Cirque de Paris every night and reads hU -odes to them. So far he has escaped Injury. He gives the fees he .receives for bis p*Tformance to charity. A Treo That Smokes. Japan has a smoking tree, which •mokes only just after sunset. The tree is 60 feet high and the fumes rise from the top of the trunk. DISTRICT NEWS Mr. and Mrs. O. L. Claris of St, Thomas and; Mr* and Mrs. H. Whyte, of Exeter, were Sunday guests at the home of Mrs. Wm. Howard, ■ The Home and School Club enter tained the teachers of the Collegiate, Public School and School. of Com merce, taking the form of a social gathering held at the home of Mr 3. J, C. Gardiner, The home of Mr, and! Mrs. “Ray Chessell, of Mitchell, was the scene of a pretty gathering, when they celebrated their golden wedding. The afternoon was spent in quilting af- tei' which supper was served to 35 relatives and friends. A very pretty wedding took place at St. Andrew’s Manse, Blytli, when Margaret Leona, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John A. Brown, be came the bride of Harvey M., eld est son of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Ro bertson, of Bluevale. Rev. G. Weir performed the ceremony. 'Mr. E. Douglas Brown, of Code- rich, had his car stolen on July the 12th and no trace of it had been found until recently when it was re covered in Kitchener. It was bear ing American license plates and had been driven several thousand miles but considering this it was in fairly good1 shape. The death of Grace Wilson, wife of Mr. George Andrews and a high ly esteeed resident of Goderich, oc curred recently. Mrs. Andrews had been in poor health for some time, but*, the final illness only lasted a few days. Besides her husband she is survived by one son, William, of Toronto; three brothers and three sisters. Mr. Ernest Lewis, of Clandeboye, was having his house reshingled (formerly owned by Mr. Wm. Ab bott, of Exeter) when the scaffold ing on which Mr. Dickens and Mr. Atkinson were standing broke. The men felj to the ground some thir teen feet below. Mr. Dickens land ed on his head and shoulders, severe ly wrenching his neck and was ren dered unconscious. Mr. Atkinson escaped without serious injury. The residence of Mr. and Mrs. Ed ward H. Wise, of Clinton was the scene of. a pretty wedding, when their youngest daughter, Edna Arn aud a, became the bride of Howard Clark, youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Clark, of Clinton. Rev. L. C. Harrison conducted the ceremony. Miss .'Marjorie Davis, of Toronto, played the wedding music. Mr. and Mrs. Clark left on a motor trip and oil tiheir return will reside in Clin ton. ■ Quality and Grading J? “I tell you that it is not a matter of price with us it is a matter of quality. I will pay a producer al most any price for liis milk if he will but give me the grade and the quality.” These were the words used to the Tiines-Advocate the other day by the executive head of about the biggest cream and milk business in this pro vince. Said another retailer of milk, only last Monday, “If I could but produce the grade and quality of milk that is needed there is no end to the cus tomers I coud serve.’’ Restaurant people anu grocers tell us that the consumption of eggs lias increased one hundred per cent, since egg-grading came into active service. The increase in tlie sale of egg-sandwiches and of eggs served in various ways, has gone up inde finitely since the customer has come to know that he is eating fresh, wholesome eggs. Farmers still liv ing recall the days when eggs sold for eight cents a dozen. Improve ment in quality lias wrought the ad vantageous change in price that the farmers now benefit by. The same is true of milk and of fruit and of scores of other commodities sold under strict and honest' supervision. Hog-grad!ing that promised so much has turned unsatisfactorily simply because the grading for some reason or other was queered, much to tlie leanness of tlie careful farm er’s pocket book. There was a nigger in tlie woodpile that made away with the farmer’s profits. That thievish Etliiopean needs chasing before the pork market for the Canadian farm er will be advantaged in anything like the degree that his egg market has been benefited. There is money in quality but the quality must be known and the man who does the producing should be tlie first to profit from tlie care and skill he extends in producing the quality in liis farm products. The day is passing when the dealers, big or little, should get off scot free, when they pocket the profits result ing in the farmer’s toil and skill in producing an article of high quality and1 grade. The trouble with a great deal of tlie grading done here tofore has been it’s pitiable resort to half measures.
