help was sent to Hensall, and in a
short time several auto loads were.

ding was carried out in a very few
minutes but not a second too soon
as the flames made rapid progress
and soon destroyed the house.

ago by 1VIr. ,Stoneman, who £ormerly
awned the farm. The insurance on
the house was small=only ' $L000—

accident a short time ' ago, mach sym-

Many people do_ not seem to be
aware that a fine for selling rotten
or bad eggs to stores or produce men
is -a heavy one. The minimum line is
$200 and by reports, the law will be
enforced to the full extent. People
do not seem to know that eggs, when
brought to the stores are kept .n sep-
arate lots and if any bad( ones are. a-
mong them the offender is easily
found. out.
Replying to an 'enquirer we have
to say that thte separation allowance
aids to men serving+alt the fr'nat is
continued after a man is missing
and until he .is known to be dead
when the pension to his dependents
will become payable as soon as the
fact of his death has been' established
Th,e allowance is paid to the person
entitled to it no matter where they
mag reside
Every married man who, joins the
expeditionary forces has to set aside
$ 15 a month for fin wife or she

ances from the Government. In the
artillery the officers are insisting
that the married men set aside t$115'
a month to their wives when they en-
list. Aftes that they still have about
$15 a month ientia'eily for spending,
money besides food and clothing are
all furnished them.
