Harry Buller, a young man who has a cobbling shop at Ridgotown, has been deaf and dumb since childhood. EL ,tvever, when a gun was fired off nearby -he could feel the shock. He felt the tremor of a gun discharged the other day, and going into the house told his mother in his own way of an itchy feeling in his head. Later he was taken ill with grippe, and now that be is recovering his hearing he al- so has the power of speech. Being unable to talk for some 25 years the change seems strange to him, but he is making good headway. Mother's Porridge. James Livingstone of the Grimbsy Independent, sizes things up in this way : "The foolishness or bad man- agement of the housewife, has had a. great deal to do with the high cost of living, As, for instance formerly the housewife was content with good old fashioned oatmeal for the making of porridge for herself and family. The oatmeal costs four or five cents a pound, while to -day the saws house- wife is buying all the high-faluting, high-priced breakfast foods that ehe can get hold of at 25 cents a pound. Instead of the boys and girls of to -day eating good, health -giving, strength - giving, hunger -satisfying oatmeal por- ridge for breakfast, they are eating a lot of dried-up, crisp, flaked, paeteuriz- zed, airifled, petrified, ossified, remains of once useful grain, but now without either strength or substance which has been .bought by their mothers under the -name of breakfast foode, and sold at about25 cents a pound. Manitoba's Proposed Hydro. To supply, 6,000 rural consumers in Manitoba with electrical current the capital outlay on generation station and six substations would be $0.002,- 100, according to a report submitted to the Manitoba Legislature by Mr, Skinner, an electrical engineer, com- missioned to make, an enquiry. In addition to the generating and sub- stations the tranelnission lines neces- sary to connect up 6,000 consumers would cost $8,731,800, making a total of $18,533,000, In addition to assum- s responsibility far the i pro rata hi n g interests and other charges on the above capitalization, eetcb consumer must supply his own transformere, house wiring, motors, etc., at b rest that would vary from $200 to $1,50) each.
