Exeter Advocate, 1900-1-18, Page 4THp Operter tivocort, cbAs. H, Sanders, Editor and•Peop THURSDAY JANUARY 18, '00 .NOTE AND COMMENT. TWO qt-laillit ixi1;51E'S. Up hi. Elgin a municipal officer was elected •despite the fact thet he was going through the NVOrld Mider the Paine ot 111. T. Barnes, and n tho county of Waterloo a candidate WaS elected who signed his appeal to the public ''U. B. Dahm,"--Coderich Sig- nal. Owing to the elle:et:lel:10ton- restate of the local fall fairs in Perth during the past, ae effort has been made to arrange matters, in order to hese at least one fair in the county worthy of interest. With thie object in view del- egates from North and South Perth held a convention in the Council cham- ber, St. Marys, Thursday. The matter., was dietmesed at -some length and a re- solution sees passed. advising the union of the two societies, and the holding of the fair in Steatford and St. Marys al- ternately for the ensuing four years. *** Chief Celine Warden Tinsley estim- ates the dumber of deer killed last season in the province at 6,000, an in- crease of cibout 1,000 over last year. Notwithstanding the huge number killed this year, Mr. Tinsley thinks that the deer are holding their own, and at the present rate will not all be killed off. The number of hentere reporting was 6,500, but there were probably a thousand or so more in the back country who did not report. The express companies carried about 2,000 carcasses to oil -lions cities and towns. One of the sixteen wagons built ny the Bain Wagon Co. for use with the secoud Canadian contingent is set up and on exhibition at factory in Wood- stock. The wagons are- very strong and have a carrying capacity of 4,590 pounds. They are painted •tvi th water- proof paint and are not valet iehed, ac- coedirig to the specifications of the de- partment of militia. Many extras have also been ordered by the depart- ment such as wheels, clouble and single - trees, reaches, poles, etc. The wagons will be shipped tbis week. A physician pronounces against what he calls a fallacy of bathing. " Nothing," he says " eau be "put in the water that Will be absorbed by the skin. Salt, toilet waters and. 'the like. used in the bath water act only on the surface of the skin, producing, in some eases a healthful friction, and in others imparting an agreeable temporary per- fume. The saline property of sea -wa- ter has little to ad with the tonic of sea -bathing, although there seems to exist a notion that the system in some -way absorbs the salt with healthful effect. It is the open air. the loose ' dress and the invigorating:. buffeting with the -waves that constitute • the benefit of ocean bathing,." * * se Hewn: sTesER. . Mr. Joe 131and, of Embro, lost one of his fat steers a month ago. The -where- abouts of the missing animal was a mystery, and Mr. Bland badgiven tep forlost. -Mr. Bland has a vacant house on his farm, and a few days ago BIcKeller, tenant of Mr. Blan s adjoining farm, di-scovered the missing beast in the cellar of the house, where he had been for the past 28 clays with- out food or water. The steer entered the cellar through an outside dome:, ed it it supposed that the door swung sLe and imprisoned the steer. Strange. to say. the animal did not get verythin in flesh, although geunt. It looks about as well now as the rest of the cattle. Our Soldier. Boys For Africa.
