ELLIOTT, PIIBLIBRER AND PROPIETO1. THURSDAY AUGUST 1. 1912. WEATHER PREDICTIONS, W. 11. Bowes, a weather predictor at Chatsworth, Ont., thus outlines the weather for the last half of this year: - August -very dry; warm and sultry, with rain and frost about 22nd. HAPPINESS FOR THE BLIND. Thomas Jefferson wrote that all men are endowed by their Creator with unalienable rights, including life, liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. Henry George said in "Social Prob- letns".that man is so constituted that it is utterly impossible for him to attain happiness save by seeking the happiness of others. There are more than two thousand persons in Ontario -men, women and children -approximately one out of every thousand of the gen- eral population -who, from causes usu- ally ascertainable, are deprived of the sense of sight. What chance would the blind have in pursuit of happiness, if left in ignorance, idleness and depen- dence? Fortunately some provision has been made to brighten the lives and improve the condition of these afflicted ones, though much remains to be done to bring Ontario into line with the more advanced states in America and countries in Europe. For forty years the Legislature of Ontario has maintained at Brantford a school for the education and instruction of the blind children and youths of the prov- ince, of both sexes, without charge for board, tuition or books; and in that school hundreds have been taught to read and write, to sing and play on some musical instrument, and to do some useful work, the remuneration for which suffices or assists to provide an independent livelihood. Of course no amount of instruction can make a blind person as competent as he would be with sight, but it is surprising to see how much, and what a variety of things, the blind can accomplish by touch and hearing, under proper guid- ance. There are in every country many more blind adults than blind children, and the Institution at Brant- ford provides to all applicants free ap- pliances by which the adult blind can be taught at their homes to read with their fingers. Children can be much more easily, and more thoroughly, taught in the school for the blind, therefore, the Principal makes his an- nual appeal to the readers of the TIMES to send him the names of any children in their vicinity who are blind, or whose sight is so defective that they cannot be effectively taught in the Public Schools -together with the names and post office addresses of parents or guar- dians. It is only by the kindness of those who "seek the happiness of others" that communication can be established between the school and the children who should enjoy its advan- tages. September -About average tempera- ture and very dry. October First week cold and wet, balance warm and very dry. November -About the fourth frost, rain and snow, then fine and dry until about 23rd, when winter will set in. December - A good old-fashioned month, very much colder than average, with heavy snowstorms about 7th and 18th. There will be a desperate lot of hot weather in June and July, with much more rain that the two preceding years. The Chinook winds will be very inac- tive. The Pacific slope, Britain and all places that get heat from return cur- rents will have a colder winter and cool- er summer than the average. Mr. Bowes says that there will be rain between the 16th and 24th of this month. "KEEP HAPPY" RULES. It 1s one thing to be happy -for an hour, a day, a week, but it is quite an- other matter to "keep" happy. A few guideposts along the way to the big "keep" which means so much, not much to ourselves, but to all who may come within our reflecting radius. Keep cheerful. Hunting trouble ruins more nerves than trouble when it ar- rives. Keep alert. Mental ruts make more hypochondriacs than does over -wrought immagination. Keep physically active. The inert woman who hates to move is usually the greatest growler about her health. Keer clean. The close connection be- tween the pores of the skin and health is not considered carefully enough. Keep interested. There is nothing like a fad or an object in life to put aches and pains into the background. Keep busy. The Satanic mischief provided for idle hands is better known than the physical mischief that hounds the woman with time to think about her health. Keep your feet warm. More cold is taken through the ankles than in any other way, so do not run in low shoes al winter. Keep away from drugs. Walk mere] and take medicine less. Keep a curb on your appetite. Over- eating is the menace of age. Keep out of debt. There is nothing like money troubles to worry one to death. Care will kill a nine -lived cat, and what gives more care than a bud- get of debts with no money to settle? Dared by three companions, a young man living in Brooklyn, climbed to the top of one of the tall iron skeleton poles which carry the heavy electric feed wires on the Long Island Railroad in Grove and Buryea street, Long Is- land City the other afternoon. As he ascended the criss-cross ladder -like iron straps, his companions below shouted at his bravery. Reaching the topmost iron strap, in order to finish his feat, he reached out for one of the heavy cables carrying the electric current. It carries 12,00) volts. He was enveloped in a flame immediately and shot from a pole as if fired from a gun, falling fifty feet. WHEN THE LIVER Is INACTIVE CONSTIPATION SOON FOLLOWS The duty of the liver is to prepare and secrete bile, and serve as a filter to the blood, cleansing it of all impurities and poisons. Healthy bile is sufficient quantity hi Nature's provision to secure result)* action of the bowels, and therefore whoa. the liver is inactive, failing to secrete bile 111 sufficient quantity, constipation Scott follows. Mr. Renty Pearce, Owen Sound, Ont., writes:---"liai>rifis been troubled kr yeasts with coestipation, and trying Many so, called remedies, which did me no good whatevet, I was persuaded to try Mile burn' xa- iver Pills. I have hermit b s Ln Y, {heat most benefitaal; they are iadeed, , a splendid pill, and I can heartily recom mend theta to alt suffering from constipt. tical." Milburn's !Ala -Liver Pills are 25 tents per vial, or 16 vials for $1.00, at all dealer, or moiled direct on receipt of price by The T. Milburn Co., Limited, Totonte, Ont. Uric Acid buffering, Uric acid is an accumulation of poison which finds lodgment in the system when the kidneys fail to remove it from the blood. In the kidneys and bladder it forms stones, in the joints and mus- cles it causes rheumatism. In any case the pain and suffering is almost beyond human endurance. Uric acid is prompt- ly removed from the system when the kidneys are kept healthy and active by using Dr. Chase's Kidney -Liver Pills. THE SMILE HABIT Think this over! Is there any beverage that costs you less per cup than vIPTON'S TEA GOES FARTHEST FOR THE MONEY (From the TIMES of July 29, 1892,) LOCAL. NEWS. Mr. T. Dickson, of this place, intends starting a butcher shop in the first door north of the Misses Rush's restaurant. A football match was played on Fri- day everi'1g last between a junior club of Bell's factory and the Chair factory, resulting in favor of the former by 1 to 0. Mr. J. A. Moody, of St. Thomas has purchased the Wingham Woollen Mills from Mr. Armstrong and took psssess- ion on Monday last. A grand promenade concert will be held in the skating rink on Monday evening next, August 1st, for the bene- gt of the Wingham football ,club. At the regular meeting of Anchor of Hope Lodge, I. 0. G. T., on Tuesday last, the following officers were appoin- ted for the ensuing term: C. T., H. B. Elliott; P. C. T., Wm. Bond; V. T., Miss V. Rush; R. S., F. Ellis; F. S., R. S. McGee; T., Miss L. Watcher; Chap., Jas. McAlpine; M., 0. Johnston; Guard, Miss M. Russell; S., E. Hart; Organist, Miss E. Dawson, About three o'clock on Tuesday after- noon fire broke out in the new Bank of Hamilton, caused by the explosion of a coal oil stove which was being used for heating oil. The fire did considerable damage in the first flight but the two top flights are not at all damaged. About every pane of glass in the first flat was cracked by the heat. The loss is estimated at $1,500. A new sidewalk is being placed from Get into the habit of smiling, prac- tice it daily, just as you would learn a poem to recite, a little every day as a duty, says Lillian Russell. Then compare your old every day face with your new one and mark the difference. Now your new put it on the moment you arise in the morning. It's wonderful how goodnatured you will become. You can't scold with that smile on your face. Yeu can't have indigestion and smile. That sim- ple smiling cure covers many diseases. Of course, we all have troubles, but we must smile and bear them. It was not intended that we should have a path of roses; we would tire of them if that was the case. Every good thing we have in this world we must repay with gratitude, and smiling gratitude at that. So our thoughts must be free from revenge, resentment and malice. The smile must be from witbih, from a loving heart. No selfishness must mar and no sarcasm distort the smile. Smile honestly and you are obeying the commandment of "giving". Give joy and pleasure, you will reap the reward a hundred fold. You can help others through the world by a smile. The girl who goes about with a cloudy face imprinted every little once in a while with jealousy, sulkiness, sar- casm and disappointment does not re- alize the harm these moods do. She faneles that her face will readily fall back into nice sweet lines. It does, to be sure, for a while. But in a short time the lines become more and more pronounced. It is utterly impossible to have a sour heart and * sweet, pretty,. sympathetic face. And there is no wo- man so plain that the constant exer- cise of cheerfulness and amiability will not make beautiful. Certain it is that every woman who has swayed the history Of humanity has known the1 value of cheerfulness - the value of.a smile. No woman with fretful lines engraved on her face, no woman who has no h tearn ed to control her temper, who does not knee the value of cheerfulness, can put up much of a show as charmer. Smile any keep young. Tau have all the rest of your life in which to grow 1lsriin's barber shop to Griffin's groc- ery. An effort is being put forth to organ- ize an Epworth League in connection with the Methodist church of this town. A very great crowd attended the decoration on Friday evening last. The Orangemen and Oddfellows headed by the band marched in procession to the cemetery, Mr. R. Tennant, of this place has disposed of his livery business to Mr, George Swatts, of Clinton. A large number from town went to Lucknow on Tuesday last to witness the lacross match in that place. TOWN DIRECTORY. BAPTIST CHURCH -Sabbath services at 11 a. in. and 7 p. m.

Powell In Turnberry, on the 23rd inst, Ann, beloved wife of Thomas Powell, aged 73 3 ears. old. Every one of us needs at times the ministry of the sunny, smiling soul who wields the wand of a cheerful tern - per. Can one help having the blues? Can one help having a bad temper? Cer- tainly! Moods are as' subject to the will as any mental faculty. The differ- ence between the successful, popular woman and the woman who, by her disagreeableness, drives every one from her is simply the power of the former to control her moods and her temper. Unless one has her moods under con- trol she has no real liberty. Horses in Hot Weather. Harvesting is, says Farm Stock and Home, heavy work on teams, and comes at that season when there is usually most danger from heat exhaustion. No horse is immune from it, but those working in the middle in three, four and five horse teams: are more often overcome, because heat is not carried away from their bodies as rapidly as from those working on the outside. Heat exhaustion may occur in the forenoon but is most frequent late in the afternoon, when the air is heavy and oppressive, and the animal begins to feel tired. As long as there is pro- fuse sweating, danger is not imminent. When it is suddenly arrested, and the horse pants for breath and staggers or props himself with legs wide apart, it is time to take prompt action. No time should be lost in getting the horse out of team and harness, and into a shaded place. Should there be no shade in the field he must be taken to the barn without delay. Place hied in a comfortable stall away from the heat as much as possible, and with plenty of ventilation. If he is down and insensi- ble, send for a skilled attendant at once. While awaiting his arrival pro- fuse applications of cold water or ice should be made over the brain and along the backbone. If his legs are cold, plenty of brisk rubbing will help the circulation. HEARD AS THEY PASS. "A man knows what love is, but be isn't always sure what it is." "The trouble with most people is that they seem to think that they are as good as we are." "Yes, there are a lot of weddings. Wonder if its Leap Year that makes the difference." "She was the most dismal sight. Just fancy a. woman wearing ostrich feathers on a hat on an ocean steamer. " "His thoughts are all such little thoughts he has to use big words to disguise them." "We must been have v b n ha in the having kind of weather Sydney Smith describ- ed at the time 'when a man wanted to takeo his flesh " and sit in i offhis bones "I've watched them closely and I've discovered this much; the people who are forever criticildng me are really much lazier than I am, only they nev- er admit it." Muscles Useless Without Nerve Force Perhaps you are not quite clear on the relation of the nerves to the rest of the body. Through the nerve fibres which extend through countless branches to every nook and corner of the human system is conveyed the motive power which operates the various organs. There could be ' no breathing, no beating of the heart, no flow of the digestive fluids, no action of any muscle or organ of the body without nerve force. Consequently, when the nervous system becomes exhausted there is complete collapse of the body, the different stages of which are described as nervous prostration, locomotor ataxia and paralysis. The time to use such restorative treatment as Dr. Chase's Nerve Food is when the headaches, sleeplessness, indigestion and other warning symp- toms first appear. A few weeks' per- sistent treatment is then sufficient to revitalize the wasted nerve cells and restore health and vigor.

IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE IN THE TAMES. Lesson V. -Third Quarter, For Aug. 4, 1912. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lesson, Matt. xiii, 44-53. Memory Verse., 45, 46 -Gallon Text. Matt. vi, 33 -Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. I It was after Fre sent the multitudes away and went Into the house that He} explained to the disciples the parables and spice these others of today's les. son. It has been said that a parable its like a nut that has to be broken to gee the meat -it keeps the meat from thek indolent and for the diligent, It is alsci true that there are outside truths for; the world that they may recetye 1f they will and enter in, and there are truth only for those who are within. The parables of the hidden treasure and the pearl give us wholly another view of what Is going on In this present age and of its consummation fa spite of all( the work of the adversary. Remem- bering what we said in a previous Iasi son concerning the explanation of 3 word or phrase holding good throng the whole discourse, we now note th field of verse 44 and tbe explanation ii verse 32. "The field is the world." Th word "treasure" takes us back to Er1 six, 5, Israel His peculiar treasure. Sed also Ps. cxxxv. 4: Mal. 111, 17, mar=l' Titus the law, the prophets and th Psalms enlighten us concerning th treasure. Since Israel's rejection o Christ and her consequent scattering among all nations she has been a treats ure to no one but Himself, but to Hints she is as the apple of His eye. and iii sun, moon and stars cense to shine sh shall not cease to be a nation before Him ('Lech. U, 8; Jer. xxxt, 55-37). Wb can this be who gives up all that Hit has in order to buy the field? No one can buy the field but He who has the right to redeem it, the true Boaz, th mighty man of wetllth, who as evlden • that He bad purchased or redeem the field wore the crown of thorns. The story of the pearl is virtually th same except that the pearl is th church as the treasure to Israel Pearls come from the sen, and in Re evil, 15, it is written, "The wate which thou snwest are peoples an multitudes and nations and tongues. In Eph. v, 2T, the completed. church 14 spoken of as a glorious church, not he'll Mg spot or wrinkle or any such thin but holy and without blemish. In thes words one cannot help seeing a perfec pearl without spot or blemish or wrist kle. In this case, as 'in that of the treasure,, the man gave -up all that h had to purchase 1t. Salvation, or s nal life, or the Son of God, in who we have redemption, is not obtained that way, but as the tree gift of 0 '(Rom. 111, 24; v, 1). Neither money not good works can obtain eternal 116 The cost of our redemption fell.wholl upon Jesus Christ, and by His pert.' life and death in our stead and resu rection from the dead He hag provide eternal redemption .for all who will r ceive Him. We are rayed, bowever, a so great a price In order to become HU disciples, and the cost of being a Medi ple 1a114 wholly upon the believer, it Is written, "Whosoeier he 'he of yeti that forsaketh net all that he hath he cannot be my disciple" (Luke xi*, MI; Returning to the treasure and the pea which He obtains by giving up all th He had, "for ye know the grace of 0 Lord Jesus Christ thgt;'thoUllt fb w'a rich, yet for your sakes He becam poor that ye through'1H1f) poriei'tjl' m1 be rich" (II Cor. viii, 9), It la certain true that whatever" cif' Vida ie elousness there 'wlil 'be fa Iired, or tli church it will be'because of union wit Him in whom alone is any O'Neil) ness.
