Successful !Wear.
The bazaar held under the auspices of
the Wonder's Institute on Saturday after-
noon was a complete success in every re-
spect. There was a good collection of
useful articles on the work tables and the
home-made baking sold readily. The
afternoon teatables were decorated with
yellow march -marigolds and were lib r-
ally patronized. The quilt made by Mrs.
Daniels realized the sum of C38, of
which $25 was donated to the Women's
Institute. Mr. W. G. MacEwan held the
lucky ticket. The ladies worked hard
and they well deserved the success which
attended their efforts. The proceeds
amounted to over 5125. The members of
the Institute are grateful to the General
Brough Chapter. 1. 0. D. E., for the use
of their tearoom.
Fred Davis in Town.
Mr. Fred Davis. M. P. P., of irricana,
Alberta, arrived in town yesterday. ac-
companied by Mrs. Davis and Miss
Dorothy. He will spend two weeks or so
in this district, dividing the time among
Goderich, Seaforth and Mitchell, and
Mrs. Davis and daughter have gone on
to Philadelphia to make a visit.
Mr. Davis reports crop prospects in Al-
berta exceptionally good. A consbderably
larger aarag than usual has been put in
and the seeding was finished three or four
weeks earlier than last year. Whether it
is the added dignity which attends a
chosen representative of the people in
Parliament, or the Western climate. we
do not know. but Mr. Davis has added
over twenty pounds to his weight record
since he left Godericts and carries it well.
His many old friends about town are
giving him a cordial greeting.

The chief toast of poor health is
our neglect of the bowels. Waster
matter, instead of fussing from the
lower intestine regularly every day,
is allowed to remain there, generating
poisons which are absorbed by the
I flood.
In other words, a person who Is
habitually constipated, is poisoning
himself. We know now that Aulo-
iwloxitalior, due to non -action of the
bowels, is directly rrspoiisib/t for
serious Kidney and Bladder Troubles;
that it upsets the Stomach, causes
Indigestion, Loss of Appetite and
Sleeplessness; that chrouic Rheum-
atism, Gout, Pain In The Back, are
relieved as soon as the bowels become
regular; and that Pimples, Rashes,

him, in addition to his parents.

(Continuod from page 11
ing of this law is not only putting all
merchants on equal basis. but it is a patri-
otic move as well."
Mr. W. C. Pridham was the first spokes-
man for the petitioners. He said the
merchants desired uniformity in closing
hours. Times had changed since the
days when long hours were the common
thing. The case of the barbers was an
illustration. People used to come in at
midnight on Saturdays to be served by the
barbers until the Lord's Day Alliance in-
terfered. Then a bylaw was passed enforc-
ing earlier hours of closing. and the bar-
bers would not go back to the old condi-
tions. The speaker thought all merchants
should be put ria a par. so that one
could not get the trade while the others
were closed. it was not necessary to
keep open late for the accommodation of
farmers. As for the argument of "en-
roachment on personal liberty," war
times were giving many lesson in this
matter and it was now recognized that
the idea of personal liberty had a limited
application. -
Mr. E. Dean said that in former seas-
ons it had been the practice for the stores
to have a weekly half -holiday. but this
year they would do without this, as the
country people complained about finding
the stores closed when they came to town.
Doing away with the weekly half -holiday
would offset the shorter hours proposed
under the bylaw.
Mr. Walter Hern spoke of the daylight-
saving move and said if the merchants
were going to keep open late -there would
not be much saving of daylight and they
could not do much gardening.
Mr. John Cutt said he had signed the
petition. but on consideration he believed
he had mark a mistake. Many farmers
came inter town after 8.30 (which was
5.30 o'clock by the old timet, and if the
stores were closed they could not do busi-
ness and their trade would be diverted to
other places. The workingmen. tot
would not be able to make purchases af-
ter their own working hours.
fMr. M. Robins said he was in a dif-
event position (rower some of the others.
He lived at his store and if a man came
to him for Ywnething and he refused to
sell it he would offend the man and kir
his siotom Those merchants who could
afford to live in • residence away from
the store were not put in this position.
Mr. Pridham had built up his businees in
the old days when they had late hours
and he (the Maker) wanted the silo op-
portunity as a beginner. The storekeepers
were not like the barbers. who hal to
work hard all flay on their Wt. This
was mortised to be a free country and he
did not see why he should be forced to
close early If he did nett want to do so.

by-law in Toronto had been before the
courts and had been quashed. Supposing
a boat should come in aper Uuuiang hours.
would the merchants refuse to sell it sup-
plies? The town did not enjoy too large
a fanning trade as 1t was and should not
do anything to Injure that trade.
His Worship said he was neutral in the
matter, and brought out these points
simply far discussion.
Mr. Dean said, regarding the bat
trade, ne had tilled orders on Sunday and
nothing had happened: so he supposed
there would be no dttticulty in supplying
boats under the bylaw.
On motion it was derided that the
petition should be referred to the special
committee. His Worship suggested that
the solicitor should be consulted as to the
legal end of the matter.
Mr. J. W. Salkeld, of the Bayfield road,
was present and said he was being held
back from use of the land from which
tqe town had purchased the wood last
winter; he claimed the wood was all on
and the contract on his part was coin-
pleted.
Councillor Wallis gave his version of
the matter and the clerk read the corres-
pondence which had passed. and it ap-
peared that the only question was
whether the brush on the lot ((tome of
which has not yet been removed) could
properly be described as wood. The
town was to have until March lst, 1919,
to remove the wood.
The public works committee was asked
to report in the matter.
The chairman of the parks committee
was authorized to purchase a new lawn
mower for use in the parks.
Councillor Wallis said it was necessary
to made some preparations for putting on
the tarvia and the public works commit-
tee was given power to procure a machine
for the purpose.
The question of completing the sewer
extensions planned last year was dis-
cussed. and it appeared that the lack of
funds was the only obstacle to gang on
with the work. The plans cover 1 new
sewer from Cameron street to Nelson
street along Victoria street, a portion of
the work being already done.
Deputy Reeve Clark asked when the
sedimentatien basin was last c'eaned.
The water. he said, was getting "thicker"
instead of clearing as it shoukl after the
sprang break-up.
The Deputy Reeve also introduced the
question of putting oil on some of the
side streets, and said the property -owners
were prepared to pay for it. The Mayor
said the residents of St. George'. Crescent
wanted tarvia put on their street at their
expense. The matter was referred to the
public works committee.
The Mayor suggested that a day be
fused for decorating the plots in the few •
tery and the second Sunday in June was
set aside for this purpose. It is proposed
that the townspeople contribute cut
flowers for this oc asion.
Suggestions were made for additional
electric lights. one near the summer hotel
and two at Harbor Park. and were passed
on to the water and light commission.
The fuel question was again up for con-
sideration. The Algonquin Park proposi-
tion strikes lite council as rather expyn-
r;ve. and it was decided to I±ic prion
wood from lots nearer Godenc -
Bylaw No. 9 was read three times and
passed. This bylaw is in accordance
with an act of the Legislature at the
last session and makes it lawful for the
corporation to take possession of any
vacant land within the limits of the mun-
icipality fur tie purposes of cultivation
during the period of the war, or the
council may issue a permit to any person
to use such vacant land for the purpose of
cultivation. The owner of the land first
will have an opportunity of presenting
any objection he may have to such use of
the land. No compensation is to be paid
to the owner for the use of the land under
this bylaw.
The council then adjourned.
