At Silverwood’s Creamery at Cargill, thieves broke in the main door and a check-up by em­ ployees and police reveals that noth­ ing was taken. The robbers were un­ able to break the safe.

Ralph J.

James Houston, it was stated in evidence, was the one who put the gasoline from the pump into the car. David Houston, James England and Allan Moore, all of that district, were passengers in the car when U called at the Colwell store. England had a- greed -to put three gallons of gasoline into the car. He went into the store and bought cigaretes, and believed he gave Mrs. Colweli a $2 bill to pay for the gas and cigarettes. The other three thought that England had paid for the gas. Mrs. Colwell stated that none of them had paid: for the gas, and that she heard them argue outside that the gas had not been paid for. UBERCULOSIS CASES FEWER IN NUMBER D S Early Diagnosis Mainly Responsible for Reduction.o n 2Modern methods of combatting [ tuberculosis have resulted in reducing ‘ deaths from that disease in all prov­ inces of Canada, it is shown by Dr. G. J. Wherrett, writing in the Canad­ ian Public Health Journal. The reduc­ tions vary from 64 per cent in Alberta to 33 per cent in Quebec. In Ontario it was 60 per cent between 1921 and 1939, One reason for improvement is, that the disease is now brought to light much earlier, than formerly, says Dr. Wherrett, but even-mow too many pa­ tients are admitted to sanitaria when their cases are already hopeless. In order to diagnose the disease as early as possible, and before it has caused noticeable symptoms, the Doc­ tor recommends that surveys be made, especially among the following: Contacts of known cases and deaths (ten times as liable to tuberculosis as other families); nurses and nurses in training; university and normal school students; teachers; high school and public school students; mental hospit­ als; mining and other industries; re­ cruits for the army; domestic servants; mothers and Indian reserves. Great increase is reported in the [ number of sanatorium beds available. There were fewer than 2,000 twenty- five years ago; this year the total will be about 11,000. Ontario’s position in this respect is particularly favourable, with no waiting lists at the sanatoria and with a death rate of 28 per 10,000 as “against 63.8 for the whole Canada. of PHIL OSIFER OF LAZY MEADOWS By Harry J, Boyle "FLY TIME" It's fly time . • » switching-lime »> call it what you may, but flies have A Under Privileged Children ...

Grandfather used to doze off to sleep in an old dilapidated rocker that stood inside the bapk kitchen door, I can remember the sun cutting in across the edge of the door jamb and lighting up one side of his face. The flies used to have a great time crawling around his moustache . . and we had a field day watching. A fly' would skim back and forth and finally [ land on the bristly ends of the mous­ tache, The moustache Would quiver and twitch and the fly would hop from one bristle to the other. Finally iti a sleepy half-hearted gesture grandfath­ er’s hand would come up and brush at the moustache and the fly would be away » - < only to return when every­ thing had quieted down.

Before op­ ening it one must take off one’s hat and swish-and-swoosh to set all the flies in motion. At the precise moment you think they are confused enough, you open the door quickly and jump in . , , taking great care to see that the door is pulled tightly closed after you. In spite of all your efforts the flics do get in, • They zoom around the ceiling and then dive for the syrup in the pre­ serving-kettle.

There were usually two of these around the house. One lay on the corner of the buffet in the kit­ chen and the other was usually left near the pantry door. Every so often mother would pick up the swatter nearest to her and make a raid on the flies. Our front parlor was always kept closed in the summer-time. The idea persisted that in this wayt the room could be kept cool. But, in spite of all our care flies always seemed to j manage to slip into the room. While taking the dust covers off the furniture mother would wield the swatter on the flies. Then the room would be closed up tojiwait the arrival of the comp­ any, I used to like to sit back in the corner after the company was seated . in the parlor and 'watch the flies pour­ ing in from the kitchen, They would 'Zoom in to the doorway and for a mo­ ment or two look the situation over, Immediately after this preliminary check-up they would line up their sights on the visitors and torture them.

The flies seemed to sense this and it added to their enjoyment of the whole affair. Those were the days before stream­ ers of sticky paper. W$ bought ours in the flat sheets which were laid ar­ ound the house. During the season fa­ ther always managed, on at least two occasions, to sit in the sticky paper. He would rant and rave and tear -up a sheet of the paper arid get his hands covered with it , . . and mother would have to come to the rescue with hot waler. The hardships of flies and the continuous battle against them has been cut down a great deal. Fly spray and gadgets of various kinds have been introduced of late^ycars to combat the menace of houseflies. Think how lucky you are to live iti a day and age when such inventions are used and im­ agine how you would have liked to bat­ tle the flies with such primitive weap* ons as we were forced to use a few years ago.
