SANCTUM FARA.URAPIIS, --The London Free Press had as a heading recently ;-"Government is- sues stringent rules governing inspec- tion of fools." It must have been a typographical error, for so far as we know the government has not inspect- ed the fellow who "doesn't know its loaded," or the chap who rocks the boat just for fun, to say nothing of the man, who always opposes public improvements. * * * -The dispute over the size of bread has been settled pretty well all over the province. Following the decisions of the magistrates at St. Thomas and Berlin the bakers decided to give up the fight and supply one and one-half pound loaves. The price of the legal loaf in some places is six cents; in others five cents. Bakers in some towns supply the plain loaf at 5e and the fancy loaf at 6a, both full legal weight. ' * * * -A recent writer explains that "any stomach, and particularly the human stomaeh, is like the manufacturing de- partment of a great business organiza- tion. In it raw materials are worked over into new and valuable forms. Like a business concern, it is most successful when its manufacturing process is one in which the largest and most valuable results are obtained with speed, accuracy and the least ex- penditure of labor." * * * -There are some people who never darken the door of the church in which they worship, if there is any- thing in the form of a social or oppor- tunity for the cultivation of the social element in humanity, A man named Letson, in Alma recently decided to go to one of these functions, and on his return, he found that one of his best cows bad given birth to three heifer calves. He decided that it pays to be sociable, 'and does not intend to miss the next opportunity. * * * -Public opinion will approve of the action of the Whitney Government in adopting a thoroughly Canadian policy on the pulpwood question. It has decided that pulpwood concessions in this province shall be listed in future under the provision that pot a stick of it can be exported except in manufactured form, This will not please the Americans, but is bound to result in building up Ontario indus- tries by conserving her resources. Mills will be erected, and the North- ern part of the province will enter a new era of development. * * * Bliss Annie Elliott is home on her vacation, Mrs. Allenby of Toronto is visiting relatives in town.

That !, farmer must have had very little re- gard. for Sir Wilfrid's feelings, to read such a thing as that, when the ex- penditure has increased to over a. hundred millions annually. The taste for certain kinds of literature seems to change with the years. Not so very long ago, the platform refer- red to was read with pleasure by sup- porters of the honorable premier, and held up as a thing of beauty: Now they do not appear to enjoy reading it. Strange is it not? * * * •--Kindness to animals is commend- able, but some people, who have more money than brains go to extremes bordering on silliness. At a summer home among the Thousand Islands, last week, there was a funeral of a ter- rier dog named "Toy," that was one of these occasions. A band of twelve pieces from Clayton played dirges and an orator related the canine's history, and another recited as much of the burial service as be know. A hand - soae slab of wood marks the resting place, and later a marble stone will re- place it. The funeral was the finest ever given at the Thoueand Islands, where $100 bull dogs and $500 cats are no uncommon thing in the homes of the millionaire colony. The band played "Massa's in the Cold, Cold Ground" as the mourners quietly dis- persed. * * * Miss Eva Armour is home from To- ronto on her vacation, and is accom- panied by her friend, Miss Yates.

On Friday, the Co. made an effort to move perishable freight, but were hampered by want of men. Stratford, Montreal and London car shops which had been closed were re- opened on Monday. On Tuesday, two freight trains reached Wingham, one from London, and the other from Palmerston. On Wednesday of last week, two mail trains wore run out of Palmer- ston, but ten others were cancelled. On Monday the local military au- thorities at Brockville asked for twen- theto protect G.T.R. ty of regulars 1 ct property. The situation on the G.T.R, in the States is more dangerous and on Mon- day State troops were render arms and one man was killed. The Minister of Labor offered his services, but the Co. replied that the time was past for arbitration ; all they required was protection to enable theist to move their trains. The Co. made every possible effort to move as many passenger trains as possible. The train service, so far as Wingham was concerned, was only crippled for one day. Freight trains of course were cancelled. •• An attempt was made one evening last week to wreck the G.T,R. north- bound train at BruceBeld, near Clin- ton. ,A. railroad tie was placed across the track, but was discovered and re- moved just before the train came along. On Wednesday, Roadmaster Fender did service as brakeman, Station agent Henry of Wingham was utilized as Conductor, and freight agent Har- old of London (formerly of Wingham) conducted the London noon train to Wingham. On Monday, way freight trains were again moving along some lines and the Co, declared, that so far as they were concerned the strike was over, as they had the situation well in hand. Several attempts to derail trains were• reported. On Thursday and Friday both the Company and the men expressed themselves as satisfied with the• con- dition of affairs, The only dissatis- fied party was the general public, and of course they don't count in a case of this kind, Who cares for the public ? -Premier Whitney has the approv- at of many on both tides of politics for his action in prohibiting the dis- play of the pictures of the recent fight at Reno. Only on Monday last, the editor of this paper met Mr. Gavin Wilson, Who stopped the scribe with the request that we write Mr. Whit- ney and tell him "that a good Grit ap• proved of his action regarding the fight pictures." Me. Wftson also el - pressed approval of the Government's prison reform bcbeme. Now, we are not sufjfielently intimate with Pre- mier Whitney to Write him, and just now we are busy with Voters' lists, but if friend Wileon will evidence has approval of Whitneq'e policy by his vote at the next election, it will do just as well, and we will shout' our sp- preolation by burying in eternal oblivion theoke that Mr. Wilson got off on ue, when he said-"Surelyon don't believe all you write. Welt earl'I the Whole thing equate. Scuds Fon . SALis.-Good, roomy house on Shuler street; bargain for quick sale ; also all my household fur- niture sale,as I to is offered byi nr re p am leaving town shortly. -Mrs. T. J. Elliott. On Friday night Brockville station was partially wrecked and a strike- breaker and private detective badly beaten, and had to be taken to the hospital. The militia:were called out, and other attempts to interfere with the running of the trains are reported. Three men are in'jail for the attack on the station on Friday night. Wednesday showed but little differ- ence in the situation at Brockville ; fifty soldiers of the Royal Canadian infantry were on guard over the Com- pany's property. The men claim to be sure of winning out, and the Go, declare that they are moving their freight successfully. Heavy shippers in many places complain of delay. . FOR CANNING FRUIT, S. B. Shaw, of the Agricultural College,North Carolina, gives the following directions for canning fruit RASPERRIES. Handle fruit lightly. Select firm, ripe, well -colored berries, Remove all stems, leaves, trash, imperfect and soft fruit, Pack firmly, being careful not to mash berries.

It was a good game, and one of the best played here for several years, At the end of the ninth innings, the score was 2-2. In the tenth innings, Clinton. scored, giving the game to the visitors by a score of 3-2. Look for another good game before long.

Small peaches and pieces not put in the jars of fancy fruit may be canned in light syrup and used for making pies. The fruit is prepared and cooked as directed, using four level tablespoons (about two ounces) of granulated sugar. Geo, Lamont, agent at London Jct., and formerly operator in Wingham, has been transferred to Wingham as station agent, and Agent Henry is now Conductor. Mr. Lamont was an attentive operator, and will no doubt give satisfaction as agent, while Mr. Henry ought to be able to shout "all aboard" and punch tickets very satisfactorily, church 'I�ews� �vW.nn��ww Poor Fruit Crop. The Clinton News -Record reports as follows: --The cherry crop is a failure in this county. For instance, last year OanteIon Bros. shipped 2000 baskets, whereas this season they do not expect to take in more than twenty-five, Ditto with plums in 1909, they shipped 4000 baskets ; this season they will have to be satisfied with 200. Pears appear to be a fair crop, but the output of apples will be small. Of the general outlook, Mr, P, Cautelon says it is the worst in thir- teen years, when they had to import all kinds of small fruits. PEARS.. Fruit should be ripe, but not soft. Peel, cut in halves or quarter, cut out alt core, bruised and decayed specke. Pack firmly. Fill jars almost full, add six Ievel tablespoons (about three ounces) of granulated sugar, and fill entirely full with fresh, cold water.

Thursday, Sept. 22nd, in the Metho- dist Church, Wingham, the annual o Con"Woman's of the W mans 1Vlis- sionary Society" of the Wingham District will be held. l±uether notice will be given. Itt adult Bibio eiass work Ontario stands sixth among the States, and first among the provinces. The num- ber of members enrolled in Ontario is 781 at the present time, while the total number for all the other pro- vinces is only 344. The next province to Ontario is Nova Scotia, with 140 ox its roil. The quarterly Oornmunion service of Wingham Methodist Church will be held nett Sunday morning. These interested will kindly note the change announced. The Love feast and Fel- lowship 'melee will take the place of the naval preaching service, and will oorrtneetroe at.

Chief Allen its Sanitary Inspector is. doing excellent work along sanitary Untie by seeing that all pits ark clean- ed, and danger of disease from that source removed. Many of them were in a filthy condition and a constant menace to the health of the communi- ty, Up to Monday last, 164 properties had been visited, and in the business section some of these had several closets, so that possibly 175 or 180 places have received attention. From owners of these properties, the cost has been collected, amounting to $3755,65. Some of course cost more than others, as the men are paid by the hour for the disagreeable work. However, when the average cost is only about $2.50, no person should find fault, As the Advance has re- peatedly pointed out, there was urgent need for action along this line, if we are to have a healthy town. Chief Allen is carrying out the pro- visions of the By-law in good faith, and citizens should cheerfully co-oper- ate. It is to their own interests to do so. Town Improvements. Not much progress has been made• this week in drilling for water at the test -well, as the G.T,R, strike has prevented the arrival of material for the contractor. Good progress is being made on the main. sewer, and the men are at work as we write, opposite the Advance office. At the southerly end of Josephine street, when at a depth of about four and .a half feet, the men found some solid elm square timber, and a large cedar log, and what appeared to be the relics of an old culvert. These re- minded the old residents of the early days of Wingham, when the Main street was several feet Iower than it is at present. Another lot of men are working at the septic tank beds, pre- paring for the cement work. The walls of these tanks will be of re -in - forced cement. It is estimated that ten or twelve tons of iron rods will be required for the reinforcing of the walls, Tho tank will be 34x50 divided into two parts, forming two tanks to be used alternately. The man holes on the main sewer will be at conveni- ent distances apart, and covered with heavy iron plates, weighing 140 lbs. A traction engine with heavy steel plough was in use on the main street on Tuesday. Garden Party. On 'Wednesday, August 3rd, there will be a garden party on the Iawn of Belgrave 'Methodist parsonage, under the auspices of the Ladies' Aid society. Tea will be served from 6.30 till 8 o'clock, Wingham Citizens' Band will famish music, an enJo ab le evening is expected. The admission is only 15 cts. for adults and 10 els, for children. How the ladies can furnish so much for so little is a secret known to themselves, but they will not allow the admission price to keep the crowd away. Belgrave ladies know how to do things along this itne. WANTED. -A . good girl for house- work. Apply to Mrs, J. 0. Leckie. Wingham. Very Sudden .Death. It is with feelings of deepest regret that the Advance records the sudden death of Mr. Wm. Wray of Belgrave, which occurred on Saturday morning last, On that morning, he appeared to be in his usual health, and after seeing a friend away on the train, drove to his son-in-law's, Mr. J. A. Brandon's of East Wawanosh, where men were working at the telephone. tine, and placing a post, at which he voluntarily rendered assistance. Sud- denly, be complained of shortness of breath and asked for a drink of water. Before his daughter could bring it, life's brittle thread had broken, and his spirit taken its flight. 11'Ir. Wray was born in Chingaeousy, in the coun- ty of Peel, December 13th, 1812, hence he was in his 88th year. He was of English descent, and inherited the loyal spirit of the United Empire Loyalist. To hie young manhood he chose Mise Crowe as his life partner, who proved a faithful helpmate to him, and soon after their marriage came with his parents in 1801 to the township of Morris, settling on the 3rd line. His long residence in the township, and upright character, won for him many friends, and general esteem. Ile was for a time Reeve of the township and a member of the County Council. In religious matters he adhered to the Methodist Church, and for many years was an office - bearer. Politically, he gave his sup- port to the Conservative party, but was tolerant in his views, and willing to accord others the right to their own opinions. His bereaved partner in life has now to bear a double load of grief, for word has reached her that her brother, Mr. John Crowe, died on Sunday last in Winnipeg hospital. Mr. Wray leaves one son, and Wray of South Dakota, G.B. W 3' one daughter, Mrs. Jos, A. 13randon of East Wawanosh. There are also three sisters, Mrs. Geo. Daley of Bel - grave, Mrs. A. McKague of Becton, and Mrs. Ilorner of Miehigan. The funeralteok place on Tuesday to the Brandon cemetery, a, very large num- ber of friends evidencing their respect for the deceased and sympathy for the bereaved. The furter:r$° service was conducted by his pastor, Rev. J. Durant. Mr. Wray was a staunch friend of the Advance, and for several year its. faithful correspondent at ,Belgrave. In hie notes, he was always kind and sympathetic, avoid- ing offence, and never wrote a line in malice or ill-wi11. To the editor, he was a true, personal friend, and we shall miss his kind words arta faithful, efficient eo•operation. Belgrave has lost a good Haan, and atrue-hearted citizen, and the Advance a lrigbi esteemed friend aittd helper, Weather Forecasts For August. Prof. Hicks' weather forecasts (con- densed) are as follows :-A regular storm period is central with the mer- cury period on the 8th, covering the 6th to the 11th, Low barometer and storms of rain, wind and thunder will reach a crisis on and touching the 8111, 0th and 10th. This is about the most promising rain period for this mid- summer month. Great blustering and electrical storms will center on the 9th. A decided change to cooler and more pleasant weather will follow storms of this period for several days. A reactionary storm period is central on the 13111, 14th and 15th. The mer- cury influence, together with moon's first quarter and apogee on the 12th, will bring a marked increese of storm conditions early in this period, We do not think a general sufficiency of rainfall is to be expected this month, or during this summer, but good local rains will be natural in many scatter- ing sections in central to northern states. A ' regular storm period, at the entrance of earth's autit anal equi- nox, falls on the 17th to 22nd, central on the 19th and full moon on the 20th. This is another period in which may be expected some violent mid -summer bluster, black clouds, local rains and thunder. The 18th to 24th is a seis- mic period in which earthquakes are sure to be reported from various ex- tremes of the earth. Watch papers and clip the telegraphic reports. A reactionary storm period covers the 22nd to 25th. The astronomic condi- tions at this time are very favorable for dangerous storms and tidal waves in all the gulf regions. Great storms in the south at this time would almost certainly induce boreal winds from the north, with high winds and gen- eral change to unseasonably cool wea- ther over most parts of the inland states. A regular storm period is central on the 31st, covering the last three days of August and culminating in the opening days of September, Live hogs are again soaring in price, and this week W. F, Vanstone & Son are paying $0,25 per hundred pounds. Joseph Gibson has built a good boat, and she was gracefully launched on the Maitland's waves on Wednes- day of this week.

Dr. Irwin, Warden of Huron county attended a special meeting of the County Council on Tuesday. This meeting was head for the purpose of considering the estimates of changes in the plans, inoiuding water supply, sew -emcee, light and heating of the Sanitarium. The este chosen is on the A. P. McLean property, on the Huron road near Clinton. Dr. Bruce Smith, Inspector of Hospitals has examined and approved of the site, Consump- tive patients need especial care, and such fnstitutiens as these are neeee- sary, not wily .for the Comfort of the patients, but to prevent if possible the spread of the disease.

Ansley and P. Kerr. Everyone is cordially invited to attend the League meetings. The fly is the worst spreader of dis- ease known. His persistency stenc y in at- tempting to get into houses is worthy of a better cause. He comes in, when he can, laden with filth and germs which he cheerfully deposits on what- ever food he is able to reach. It is not a pleasant picture, but a true one, and the mere thought of it ought to insure extra precautions against his visits. A single living insect to -day may mean 2,000 a week or two later.
