There seems' to have• been a good demand for farm stock_, at auction sales • that have been held Co' far this season, and the ready market' still prevails, according to quick ,results obtained by advertisements in a recent issue of The News, offering horses and cattle for sale. One man disposed of his horse before Thursday night, and another man had sold, all his animals by Friday. The apparently heavier demand for live stock than usual at this time may partly be accounted for by the scarc- ity of auction sales in recent mont'Ss throughout West Ontario. • FARMERS' MEETING.

Does the pupil regularly go to bed early enough to .waken without an alarm clock or a call in the morning? iDoes, the pupil receive a diet that insures et least two free bowel Move- ments every twenty-four hours? (The noted Dr. Kellogg of Battle Creek, in- sists the bowels should• move at least three times a day for health.) • Does the pupil receive a diet that really 'supplies the elements needed ad for the growth and energy of a grow- ing child 7 Does the pupil spend an average of at least an hour a day in the, open air and sunshine 7 • Of course in your home you eat good' nourishing food. I never met a person yet who did hot believe in good nourishing food. But ideas re- garding what is good nourishing food vary so greatly that they, . cannot all be right,' and unless you in your home have been reading and studying the subject of diet the past ten years you are much out of date. Perhaps you have notlearned that at Harvard University experiments on monkeys carried out during the past ten years have proved that most of the common tooth troubles, and most common diseases of children can be produced by diet or prevented by diet. A study of the effects of hot as com- pared with cold lunches made in a Kansas school a few years ago show- ed that the boys and girls who had the benefit of hot lunches made a twenty-eight per cent. better gain in growth than those who did not have hot lunches. Observations of both attendance and scholarship showed that' atten- dance and scholarship improved with this gain in health. Parents and others who are inter- ested in the health and progress of children will do well to send twenty- five cents to The 'Canadian. Council on Child Welfare, Plaza Building, Otta- wa, for their booklet, "Hot Lunches for Schools in Rural Districts, An In- vestment in Health." This valuable booklet by Myrtle Hayward, B.S,. School of Household Science, Mac- donald College, McGill' University, contains a wealth of useable informa- tion nformation on food for school children.

The following reference to the fun- eral of the late Rev. David Perrie, DID., is taken from the Wingham Advance -Times: With' every evidence of - profound respect to consecrated devotion, and .with all honors possible from his be- loved church, the remains of Rev. D. Perrie,' D,ID., Moderator of the Pres- byterian Church, were reverently laid away in Brussels' Cemetery on Thurs- day. Following a brief private ser- -vice -at the manse, conducted by Rev T, G.'. MdCulloch of Kancardine, the Glek of• Maitland Presbytery, a .pub- lic service was held in St. Andrew's. Here .the..:big,edifice was filled with a deeply ;affected congregation repre- sentative`of every shade of opinion in the district, while the ftonel tributes bore beadttful 'tribute• to as beautiful a life. As a tribute to consecrated de votion, all business places were closed during • the funeral services, while many •private and public functions had been postponed. Rev, G. Fowler, Moderator of Mait- land Presbytery, presided, Dr. Jas. McKay of London offered the invoca- tion. Dr, J C. Wilson, of Bramp- ton, read the Scripture, Rev. (De.) J. \V McNamara, clerk of the Assem- bly, reviewed the ministerial lifeof the late moderator. Rev. Dr. A. J. McGillivray of Guelph, ex -moderator, gave the address. Rev, J. A. Brown, of Ingersoll. moderator, and Dr,. IDrunlmond of Hamilton, represented the Hamilton and London Synod. Rev. S. Banks Nelson of Hamilton, offered prayer. Rev. Dr, T. Albert Moore of Toronto, represented the United' church, A numberof messages of sympathy were read by Rev. T. G. McCulloch, of Kincardine, among which were one from the officials of the church, one from the Hamilton and London Sy- nod, one from the. Synod of Saskatch- ewan, Lord and .Lady VJillittgdon, Premier 1V. L. MacKenzie Kiug, and Hon. W. D. Ross,, Lieut-iGovernor of Ontario, The pallbearers were: Albert Lloyd, H. B. Elliott, H. F. McGee, W. H. Gurney, John Anderson, A. Hutchi- son, Alex. Porterfield and John Tervitt. Rev. Dr. A. J. McGillivray spoke as follows:— The Presbyterian Church of Canada confirms loss of its beloved and re- vered moderator. This is the second time in the short space of two years that an official head and spokesman of our church has been cut down in the midst of his official duties, To the hundred and thousands of members and adherents of our own church and to many others the news must have come as a painful shock, It was not known by the general public that Dr. Perrie's health was impaired; even those who were aware of it were quite hopeful of ultimate recovery.

Our Business REMEMBER THE PHONE -58 Eye Strain Many people engaged in tasks requiring constant use of the eyes on "near" work find considerable dif- ference between their vision in the morning and mid- afternoon. The reason for this is eye -strain resulting from the constant involuntary muscular effort of the eyes to focus at a near point. Even normal eyes are benefited by wearing glasses' which help to relieve this strain while those having defective vision should have special spectacles for this particular purpose. If you will drop in -and see us, we will gladly discuss your eye needs with you. - Fred S •J 6a u e JEWELLER AND OPTOMETRIST M. Ross Saveuge, R.O., Eyesight ,Specialist Evenings 10, Phone 194, Only last Friday I wrote him a -heart- ening letter, believing that a return to his important work was a matter of ;comparative short time: God has willed otherwise, our strong and noble representative has been taken away. To the church at 'Iarge, -to the shep- herdless flock that he has cared for 'so long and, to his 'children and ne- la'tives there isonly one ;Comfort we must all turn to, the Unchanging God, -the all wise and loving Father and yet now there is a great cause for .Thanksgiving and we should indeed raise our hearts in gratitude and praise because such a life has been lived among us; that in itself is cause for happiness. That 'life would pro- bably have radiated much farther throughout the church, were it not for his retiring' disposition. While we cannot say that he loathed pub- licity we can at least say that he never desired it and. I believe we could truthfully say that he shunned it, The greater things of life, his home, his study. his people. these were the things that he loved and this was the work which he loved but I fancy that to live in the hearts of those whom he loved was perhaps one of the deep- est desires of this man's heart even though he may not have expressed it in words. He was a man of unusual mental power. I believe that we can say 'without reservation that he was an intellectual .giant. He certainly was a man who concentrated his powers to the preaching of the Evangel. His work shop, that is to say, his study, he never neglected, and the pulpit was his throne. No doubt he Breach- ed many wonderful sermons from this pulpit, sermons that would prob- ably compare favorably with the best preachings in the metropolitan pul- pits of our land and yet by far the greatest sermon that he ever preach- ed was over three decades of faith- ful, consistent living among his people in this community; this will live on while the days of our years will be lessened and all spoken- words will be forgotten, The immortality of in- fluence is his as well as that im- mortality into which he has now en- tered. He rests from his labors and his works do follow him. Dr. Perrie was -s, soul of honor. He would scorn to do anything that was low or mean or unworthy or of evil report.. Wentay certainly affirm or say this of him without fear of con- tradiction that in the days and years. that are to come, whatever future re- cord of his life may be he never shall be shamed, He was a bulwark of power and strength to those wino needed assist- ance and. he pressed. very hard against the force that needed resistance in the cottnmtuinty. He was dependable to a degree, There are those of you who may have thought that he was inflexible, but now that it is all over I em sure we would not have him live a different life than that which lie had 'lived while he was here among us. Thank God for this man, who will be remembered in all succeeding generations as a sha- dow of a Great Rock in a weary land. As to the work of Moderator, little deed be said. It was expressed by Dr. McNamara, the Clerk of Assemb- ly, that he would grace this position, the highest in the Presbytery and those who alpectei this were never disappointed. - He .visited "many of the senates of the church before and after his great sorrow. He accepted without hesita- tion the work that was outlined for him and I am sure that he represent- ed us worthily in the old land, and his pastoral addresses in regard to re- cruits for such ministry, the church aright well lay to heart, Now it does seem to us that from the tune that his beloved and capable partner was taken away he had received his death Molly's Aunt Mar. 3rd ST.

This stricken servant of God, who almost blindly, 1 was going to say, carried on his work, and the end came with startling suddenness, Little change need be made in that Old Testament saying of St. Paul,. that he had fought the good fight. had finished his course and had kept the faith. They were loving and pleasant in. life and in death they were scarcely d- vided. Let us who are left behind thank God for the noble and rich heritage of this man's life and his triumphant death. ' Thanks be to God who giveth him the victory and will give ns victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. On Sunday Rev. T. D. McCulloch of Kincardine conducted memorial services in St. Andrew's Church in honour of their late pastor, Rev, D. Perrie, D.D. His addresses were deeply impressive and his references. to the character and life work of Dr. !Perrie were a kindly tribute. The choir added to the beauty of the ser- vice with appropriate anthems.
