The roll call was an- swered by suggestions for next year's program. This was followed by an exhibit of, work by the members, in which a variety of very choice pieces of work, in various lines,: was dis- played. The business men's carnival )meld in the rinl. here was a decided, success. Owing to other attractions, the at- tendance was not as large as usual, but the costumes were particularly good,• and the broom ball game be- tween the inarried and single men proved a source of amusement, es- pecially for the spectators, The Odd Fellows' Lodge held a banquet in their lodgeiooms Friday night, when they. entertained :a large number of their friends.

' The floating palaces of today which. cross the mighty oceans between Canada and the Orient and Canada and Europe have gone one better than the best hotels. There are hotels in this coun- try that can invite their guests to baths in private swimming -pools; but .how many of them can offer the busy man or amulet the use of a gymnasium ? "How to keep fit at sea ?" Board one of the famous "'White Empresses", bound for the Orient from Vancouver, or cross from Quebec to Southamp- ton by. an "Empress of the Atlantic". These liners have gymnasiums on board, and you will have no reason to fear the consequences of a . period of en- forced leisure. On the Pacific the ,"Empress of Canada", "Empress of Asia" and "Eentpress of Russia", have gymnasiums which are in all respects like those of the three Atlantic Empresses. Spacious rooms, with excellent ventilation, and fitted with the latest equipment for •almost every phase of athlete exercise. In addition, the Empress of Canada and the Empress of Australia have swinriming pools, which are in the first rank of those to be found on board sea -going ships, The apparatus with which the gymnasiums of the ships of the Canadian Pacific line are fitted is varied and diverting, The "horse" and the "carpel" are per- haps the most popular among the machines. ' When travelling on the "Empress of Australia" and the "Empress of :Scotland" to and from Canada this summer the Prince of Wales . rode many imaginary miles on the comfortable back of the "horse" and also on the "camel's" hump. These beasts are electrically controlled, and when the current is switched on the "horse", which is properly saddled and has crupper and stirrups, ,proceeds to emulate the movement of a evedltee •<„caP�w Upper left -A physical class In operation.

The speed can be increased from a walk to a trot, from a trot to a canter, and from a canter to a gallop; but the "'horse" is always a gentle beast and never throws his rider, The "camel" machine is as popular as the "horse": The "camel" functions in a similar _ manner to the horse, but performs the rolling motion peculiar to the "ships of the Sahara", '•The "camel" usually works overtime when the Round the World and Mediterran- ean Cruise Empresses are nearing Egypt, the ladies especially being anxious to accustom themselves to riding on ;the hump of a camel. There are bicycle machines in the gymnasium of the Empresses, These are fitted with dials which record distances travelled up to 500 metres. Bicycles are placed side by side, which offers the possibilities of razing competitions. ' Rowing machines, pulley -machines, which test the strength and develop the muscle, are amongst the ap- paratus with which the gymnasiums are equipped, and boxing -gloves, medicine -balls, punch -balls, foils, single -sticks, and iridian clubs, provide boxers, fen- eers, and indian-club artists amongst the passengers with every opportunity of indulging in their favorite pastime. The gymnasiums themselves are spacious rooms, well ventilated, and fitted with electric fans which help to keep the air always fresh. During certain hours the rooms are reserved for the exclusive use of the lady passengers, A physical instructor is on duty in the gymreas- iunxs during the regular hours. He instructs passen- gers in ,the use of the machines, and during the longer voyages and winter cruises made by the Empresses, classes for physical exercises are frequently hell, for the event, and to hear converse- tical woman of the early church."

IS MAKING SPLENDID There r is agai)i' cause for rejoicing in the cxcelleut financial showing; of the people's railway system -the Ca- nadian National: In an address this week, Sir Henry Thornton announced a 1927 net revenue from operation of $42,100,000. This figure is $5,900,000 less than that of 1926, but the Cana- dian Pacific, the National's big corn- petitor, showed practically a corre- sponding decrease, due to similar fac- tors, The National's wage bill in. creased by $6,,300,000 during the year, and, lowered freight rates took an- other $i,soo,000 out of the railway:. treasury. When( it is considered, that only a few short years ago the net operating earnings of the C.N.were less than $3,000,000 it will be seen that splendid strides have been made. under Sir Henry's wise leadership. In: the year 5922 the net earnings were under $3,- 000,000; in 1923, $20,000,000; in 1924, $17,000,000; in 1925, $32,000,000; in 1926, $48,000,000, and in 1927, $42,100,- 000. These are really wonderful show- ings, encouraging from every stand- point. The system, of course, is far from'; 'being out of the woods. There are very large obligations from the past that must be niet and it will not do to place any unnecessary burden upon the organization from any standpoint. Atthe sante time., President Thornton ' and his staff' are registering very de-' cided progress and there is every indication that the good work they have accomplished will be continued NMDDICAL CARE FOR INDIGENTS The council of every ntuliicipalitT in ()nmario should talcs note that it is require 'tender " y required 'Xh The . Public Health • Act, a$ aniended at last :session of the Legislature, to enter into an agree- xiaent with the medical' officer, of health or some other doctor for :the medical care of indigents, who, in the opinion of the head of the teunicipal- ity or its relief officer, are unable to pay for the necessary attendance, and w lio are not cared for in a public or private hospital. The agreenm,ent is,: to provide for fair and reasonable re- muneration for the services rendered. If the municipality does not enter in- to such an agreement, the medical of- ficer of health is deemed the indigent medical officer, and is to be paid ac- cordingly, aside from his salary as medical officer of health, claims that either his, salary or his remuneration for care of indigents is not fair end. just, and the corporation takes no .lo- tion, he may apply as provided by ss c - tion 52 of the Public Health Act, 1s the County or District Judge, who may by his order determine the a- mount to be paid. DEATH OF MRS. SCRIMGEGUR Thomas Wiggins and Mrs. Godfrey Hall, both of Ashfield, were called to Goderich on Wednesday, owing 'to the death of their sister, Mrs. John Scrimgeour: .

Nothing is of much greater considera- tion to the grain grower than the knowledge how best to select and clean seed and that such knowledge is lacking is attested to by the fact that in surveys made it has been discover- ed that some farmers have been sow- ing as many as 75,000 weed seeds per acre. This means tremendous loss, Good seed is the cheapest in the end;. cheap seed is dear at any price, The Seed Cleaning Demonstration Twain of Western Ontario has started out and will visit most points in Ontario. A visit to it cannot but result in val- uable information being obtained by planters. Mrs. Hall, and one brother, Thomas Wiggins. John Lockhart of Grand Rapids, Mich., and Janaes Lockhart of Pickford, Mich., are half-brothers of the deceased.
