Hal COSTS M 0 N,EY •e.Seeens, with statistical 0e1W`bre now in Chicage pre - '0101,S the mid -west beauty show that city, have estimat- 4t. American fathers and hus- lim edit have a $2,000,000,000 beau- ' 4ebill to meet in the year 1930. That 'year's expenditure in the Unit- isee• States, for face powder, rouge, eneeial stoups, cosmetics and treat- ekents amounted to $1,825,000,000 and the outgo is increasing about $1,000,- 00,000 a year. Of course that is in the United States, but one look at the average Canadian female, whether indoors or on the street, would lead one to the conclusion that in proportion to popu- lation, Canadian women are spending an equal amount on these beautifiers We say beautifiers advisedly, though. There are some women who can apply cosmetics with a skill that rivals nature's hand. So skilfully that age is eliminated, and viewing the finished picture from the front, even at close range, it is almost as difficult for a mere man to say definitely which of two women is the grandmother and which the grand- daughter, as it now is to make such a distinction from a view of their backs. But there are only a few of these real artists. The rest, well the less said about them the better; there are so many of them, and the results they attain are so astonishing. So general has the use of cosmetics become that one is sometimes tempt- ed to wonder just what does the fem- inine really look like in her natural state, and to wonder. too, if the King- ston man was not right when he said there would be no more love at first sight if, ,that first sight • was gleaned at six o'clock in the morning. It seems a pretty penny to pay for such doubtful returns, but great as the cost now is, it must increase year by year. The effect of cosmetics on the skin insures this. What may have been intended for gala occasions be- come an every day necessity to keep up appearances, and each generation they start their use at tender ages now, will rapidly increase the total. However, what a woman wills, is so. Man's duty is to buy, not to complain of the cost or the tesee. the end he may be the gainer. These -very cosmetics may be the wense of . reducing the tax on his luxuries. At the present rate of consumption what a field for taxation these cos- metics will be in a few years, for a wide awake Government and most people will agree that Governments are already pretty wide awake when it comes to seeing things on which to levy a tax. Why, a taereef five cents an every tin or box ter blettle laid on this feminine vanity would ensure a .surplus to any Government and al- low them a real chance to spend money besides. The license tax, the gas tax and the liquor profits wouldn't be in it. But speaking seriously, doesn't an expenditure of two billions of dollars on such a thing, even for a country .of the wealth of the States, give food for thought to the Canadian people. enee-sese-ss his farm iirmStanley and reenaodel it for a dwelling,—Mr. Theo McAdams he unknowinwly provse himself a true prophet.

Death of An Old and Worthy Resi- dent of Hensall.--We regret this week to have to chronicle the death of George Ninian Hill, who had -been a resident of our village for quite a long term of years, coming here from Hillsgreen, where he had been carry- ing on blacksmithing for quite a length of time -before selling out and living a retired life, together with his late wife, who was the eldest daughter of the late Robert McAllis- ter, of the Parr Line, Township of Hay, and who predeceased him some few years ago, following an opera- tion in one of the London hospitals, which it was thought would be most helpful to her, but which proved otherwise. Mr. Hill was a man of fine, sterling quality, and one who took a great interest in ceerent events, and was a close reader df the daily and local papers which made him in close touch with all that was going on in the world. He was a most regular attendant at church ser- vices, scarcely ever missing attending both services, and as the pastor, Rev. Mr. Mcllroy, of Carmel Presbyterian Church remarked at the morning ser- vice, when alluding to the very sud- den death of Mr. Hill, which had oc- curred in the early hours of that same Sunday morning, "if Mr. Hill had been living this morning and able to be around, he would most surely have been in his place in church." It appears that the deceased retired in his usual health on Saturday night and in the earlier hours had been at the post office and places of business and when his grandson, Harold, who had made his home with his grand- father from early childhood, came to bed, sleeping in the same room of that of his grandfather, he spoke to him which would be a little after twelve ceclock, when he appeared all right. An hour or so afterwards, Harold thought he heard his grandfather breathing very heavily and found very quickly that he was in distress and at once summoned a doctor, but almost before the doctor reached the home, Mr. Hill had passed away. Our vil- lagers were very naturally shocked to learn of his most sudden death, as during the past couple or so years he h'd often spoken of how well he felt and he certainly was a most strong and active man for his years, being in his 75th year. Just the day prev- ious to his death he had been busily engaged with some draining along his rremises and for industry and care- ful living and saving for old age he certainly set a great example for many in this age. The funeral ser- vice was conducted by his pastor, Rev. Mr. Mcllroy, at the home here on Tuesday afternoon, who paid high (Peer-111MS to the life of the deceas- ed. The service was largely attend- ed, many coming from Hllllsgreen and reighborhood to attend the funeral of their old relative and friend as well as from our village and locality. The remains were interred iin the Hensel] Union Cemetery, the pallbearers be- ing all old neighbors and friends. Thus one by one our old pioneer residents are passing away but will long be remembered by those with whom they were intimately acquainted and as- sociated. Miss Helen McAllister, cousin ef Mr. Hill's late wife. had been keeping house for Mr. Hill for some time previous to his death, and • much esteemed by the deceased, for her many excellent qualities and good management.

Y.P.L.—The Young People's League was held on Monday night, April 8th. Miss Eileen Turner presided, and the meeting opened by singing Hymn 82. Rev. Mr. Conner led in prayer. Hymn 606 was then sung, and the Scripture lesson was read from Col. 1:9-20 vers- es by Miss Eileen Turner. Miss Rena Stephenson then took the devotional exercises. Mrs. (Rev.) Conner took the study from "Drums in the Dark- ness"; Miss Jean Ivison delighted all with a very fine solo accompanied by Mrs. Conner on the organ. The most important part of the meeting was a debate, "Resolved that Canada of- fers better opportunities to the im- migrants. than United States." Miss es Martha Carlile and Vera Smith ice: the affirmative side. and Miss nnie Jarrott and IVirs. (Rev. Con- ner the negative side. Mrs. Conner took the place of Miss Gladys Steph- enson, who was not present. The de - hate proved very interesting as both sides had very good points. The judg- es were Miss Eileen Turner, for the affirmative, and Mr. S. Beatty, for the negative, and Miss Jean Ivison ss neutral judge. The judge's decis- ion favored a tie. The offering was then taken. The business was tak- en also, and it was decided to con- tinue these meetings on until the end ef May. The meeting closed by sing- ing Hymn 449, all repeating the Mizpah benediction in unison. HYDRO METHODS (The Farmers' Sun) Since long before the advent of 'the Ontario Hydro Electric Commis- sion, private investors at Walkerton and Southampton carried on without interference from anyone, the busi- ness of making and selling electric energy. A few months ago, these private investors sold their plants and business to a citizen of the United States named Foshay, Who has, it is said, improved the service and reduc- ed prices. For reasons unannounced he has been violently assailed, not only by the officials of the Hydro, but even by the Prime Minister of the Province, who makes unseemly threats and supports his subordinates in an amazing course. The Hydro announces publicly that it will pay the cost of litigation .to 'test the val- idity of Foshay's franchises and pro- motes vulgarly a plan of reducing Foshay's property and investment to -worthlessness. The only reason . for all this that can be suggested is that the Hydro fears the competition of this private investor, who promises to bring relief to the farmers of his district. Assuming that there is am- ple water power in this Province, it is obvious that the Hydro has been incompetent to develop it and now brings energy from the private de- velopments of the Gatineau, in Que- bec. To silence a growing discontent, it promises unwisely and recklessly to pay the cost of farm lines, to pro- vide energy for a mine in the Bind - 13011 Bay basin and to build a string ei power plants from the Sault to the Ottawa- alias the Chief cornmis- sioner, Itesgratle, who has been posed ae mall of character, nothing to sew?

El- gin McKinley, of Stanley, passed a- way. He had been operated on that morning for the removal of his ton- sils, and although he came through the operation all right, the shock seemed to be too much for his sys- tem and he passed away about six o'clock the same evening. The friends and neighbors were greatly surprised and deeply distressed when they heard of this untimely death, and much sympathy is felt for the bereaved par- ents in the loss of their dear little boy, as was shown by the beautiful floral tributes and the large crowd of sympathizing friends, who gathered at the funeral on Sunday. Rev. J. Penrose, of Varna, conducted the ser- vice. and the pallbearers were Bruce McClinchey, Campbell McKinley, Al- lan Armstrong and Mervyn Keys. Be- sides the sorrowing parents, there are two brothers and a sister left, who will sadly miss their dear little bro- ther and playmate.
