-One of our exchanges published
a recipe for curing "swelled heads in
turkeys," but is silent as to haw to
cure the disease when it attacks in-
dividuals.
* * *
-The dangers attendant upon
travelling in the upper atmosphere are
likely to deter the general public from
enjoying it, for some time at least.
Eighty-nine of those who have at-
tempted it this year met death as a
result.
* **
--Unlearning is almost as important
as learning, An, empty mind is a
barren desert, One overgrown with
fat weeds is a fertile field lying fallow.
Eden was planted with "eveeything
that was good for food." And yet it
bad to have a garden.
-Tracks on the G. T. P. have now
been laid to a point 1,100 miles west of
Winnipeg, and will meet those which
are being constructed eastward from
Prince Rupert, at a point in British
Columbia. Only about 460 miles still
remain to be covered.

-A Chicago market report says -
"Beef prices still soar," Yes, and some
of the consumers feel sore too, when
they come to pay for a real choice cut
for dinner. On the other hand, if
they take a cheap cut, they feel sore
after trying to masticate it. So the
poor consumer is "hit" in either ease.

---The Queen is doubly related to the
King as she is his second cousin once
removed, both through King Edward
and Queen Alexandra. The first con-
nection is on the Kent side and the
second through the late Queen Louise
of Denmark, the mother of Queen
Alexandra having been a niece of the
first Duke of Cambridge's wife,
Augusta of Hesse.

-At the convention of the Cana-
dian Manufacturers' Association held
last week in Ottawa, the principle of
increasing the taxation of unimprov-
ed property and lowering it on im-
provements, as well as abolition of the
business tax,, was one of the big fea-
tures of discussion, and it received
the unanimous endorsation of that
important body.
**
-A report of a peculiar operation
comes from Paris, of a young farmer,
whose stomach was worn out. Medi-
cal men it is said, replaced the worn-
out article with the stomach of an
anthropoid ape, which it is claimed is
very close to man. We would rather
have our own stomach even if it was
the worse for wear, than borrow an
ape's digestive apparatus.
* **
-Even young ladies on the Ameri-
can side seem interested in the Presi-
dential election. As a result of two
girls betting on Roosevelt, either Miss
Katherine Henry, a pretty high school
teacher of Connecticut, will wear
low white shoes and white hosiery
throughout the coming winter, re-
gardless of snow, rain or cold, or Miss
Wyeth will wear a straw hat all
winter.
* **
-The announcement that Paarlia-
rnent is to be summoned for some time
in November means that before long
the people of Canada will have before
them the result of the deliberations
which took place in London :during
the past summer between represen-
tatives of the Canadian anal .Imperial
governments. The Borden govern-
ment is to announce its naval policy,
and is to make that announcement,
according to proper constitutional
practice, on the floor of Parliament, in
the hearing of all the people, through
their representatives.
-There are 87 seats in the Senate,
and the present standing politically
is 50 Liberals and 20 Conservatives.
The death of Sir Richard Cartwright
causes the eighth vacancy, and when
these are filled, there will be 28 Con-
servatives. As four of the vacant
seats were held by Conservatives, this
would leave a gain of four. As a re-
eult of the census. Manitoba, Saskat-
chewan, Alberta and British Colum-
bia will each have two more senators.
But why not get rid of the whole
encumbrance on the body politic?
Of what real benefit is the Senate to
the Canadian people ?
* **
--All of the provinces have now
signed agreements with the Domin-
ion government by which they will
receive the subsidy voted least session
by parliament. When the new ad-
tninistration came into office it wane
felt that a broad policy for the better-
*tient of agriculture in Canada through
co•oper ionwith the
provincial gov-
ernments should be adopted. It was
felt that nothing in this direction
could be properly done until a general
survey of the agricultural conditions
in Canada had been made. To make
t veyto
reporton a
tilts su
and general
policy, 0. O. James, formerly deputy
minister of agriculture for Ontario, a
:nary of undoubted standing in the
agricultural world, and with a deep
knowledge and expeien Ca which
ich
peculiarly tits him for such work, was
appointed eornmissioner. Ile is at
present engaged on preparing hie
report, and it will be ready by the

THE FALL FAIR.
With nearly every day wet, leas
were entertained of another deluge. on
the second day of our Fall Fair. In
the morning, however, the weather
cleared, and remained flue until about
4 30 in the afternoon, when rain again
began to fall and hastened the depar-
ture of the visitors.
There was a large attendance, and
the directors felt encouraged by the re-
ceipts. The inside exhibit was credit-
able considering the late season and
very uncertain weather. For these
reasons, grain and roots were perhaps
less in evidence than otherwise they
would have been. Ladies are not
easily daunted, and their department
was well represented.
The stock exhibit was very good,
poultry, sheep, swine and cattle being
well 'filled. In horses, there was a
very fine exhibit, and many remarks
were beard as to the number of the
entries, and the excellent quality of
those shown, Some exhibited at the
Western Fair London, were shown
and carried off red tickets. The horse
ring at Wingham Fall Fair is becom-
ing each year a greater centre of at-
traction, and improvement in breed-
ing is very noticeable.

The concert in the evening was well
attended, all the seats being taken.
The trio of entertainers, Pearson, Mc-
Gregor and Fax, gave those who at-
tended two hours of amusement and
entertainment.
Altogether, the Fall Fair of 1912
may be set down as a success, and the
directors feel encouraged to still put
forth greater efforts for the future.
The gate receipts were $524 15, and
at the conker t, $176 75.
A FINE STORE.
King Bros. moved into their nee
store last week, and their custom"t
and the public., generally will i.uw
find them ready to do business, •t ith
larger stock, and increased facilities
for displaying goods and waiting up-
on purchasers.
The new store is of solid brick, with
steel beams. The first and second
floors are 3305, giving 2475 :quare
feet in each floor. The fine plate glass
windows give an abundance of light,
and when the steam -heating appara-
tus is installed, the whole building
will be comfortably heated. The ceil-
ings are of a handsome patterns in
metallic, painted white.
The contractor was Mr. Wni. Rin -
tout, and the building is a creditable
production, and is another evidence of
his first-class mechanical ability. The
brickwork was done by Messrs. Wel-
ton, the plastering by Mr. Hough, the
painting by R 11, McKay, the cement
foundation and cellars, by Wrn, Fry-
fogle, and the heating apparatus will
be installed by W. J. Boyce. All the
work appears to have been well
.lone.
Messrs. Thos. and Robt. King, are
young men of excellent business
ability, attentive, upright and oblig-
ing. They are to be congratulated on
their energy and enterprise. The Ad-
vance wishes them a full measure of
success in their new etore.

Not Any Thanks.
The Bobcaygeon Independent in
commenting on the recovery of the
editor of one of his exchanges after an
operation. says : - "Newspaper men
are so accnstonied to being ripped up
the back that a frontal rip by a kindly
and skilful surgeon is rather a pleas-
ing novelty. " We would rather not
thanks.
Accidents To Workmen.
One day recently, Harold Deem,
Mr. Boyce's assistant, had the fingers
on one hand badly crushed. He was
assisting toegr ve the boiler in the
basement f King';a new store, when it
fell over u his .hat d; 'eaus'ng painful
wounds. On Tuesday morn ing, with
one oft a saws in the Un'd'n factory,
John L paont had. on 'finger taken
off and apt, here Alit. On Mon-
day, at C. Lloyd & Son's, Wm. Bot -
trill had the tip of three fingers taken
off with the buzz planer. These are
regretable and painful accidents that
will lay the workmen off for some
time.
Woman's Missionary Effort.
The W. M. S. of the Methodist
Church held their quarterly tea and
public gathering on Tuesday evening.
The tea was all that could be desired,
and the programme following con-
sisted of music by the choir, and an
excellent address by Miss Wellwood,
missionary from China, who gave an
interesting account of woman life in
that far-off land, with incidents of
hospital and school work. Messrs.
Chaprnan, Brown, Hill and Guest
rendered two very tine male quartet-
tes, and were recalled, responding
with a third very pleasing selection,
The ladies were pleased with the large
attendance.
Wedded hi West.
A. Western paper has the following
• eferring to a young man, son of Mr,
,a,nd Mrs. John Davidson of town :-
At
-At twelve o'clock on August 7th at
the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Daw-
son, the wedding of Mr. David W,
Davidson and Mies Isabella McKay
was quietly solemnized in the pre-
sence of only the immediate friends
and relatives of the couple, Rev. H.
A. Clark performing the ceremony.
The bride, who is a popular Scotch
girl, was given in marriage by Mr.
J. H. Dawson and Miss Mary White-
law acted as bridesmaid. Mr. Robt,
Davidson, who is a brother of the
groom, acted as best man. The hap-
py couple left for Winnipeg where
they will reside in future. Before
finally settling down in that eity,
however, where Mr. Davidson is em-
ployed with the Imperial Accident,
Guarantee and Insurance Co., they
will spend a short honeymoon in On.
tario.
Municipal Indebtedness.
For the information of our citizens,
we give below the assessment and
debenture debt of a number of On-
tario towns. Wingham is all right,
and there are towns with a heavier
encumbrance of debentures, At the
same time, a comparison paris0n i1i
do no
harm, and every ratepayer should
have some idea as to how his home
town cornpares with others of similar
size, so far as assessment and debt
are concerned :-

Mr. and Mrs. John Davidson re-
ceilyed word , last Wednesday that
their son, Robert J•, was very ill in
in the Hospital, Winnipeg, with fever,
but at present is doing as nicely as
can be expected.
Rural Mail Delivery.
The Fordwich Record says :-Rural
Mail•Delivery will be in full swing in
Howick 'ere the snow flies. Mr. Jas.
Bowman, lir. P., Reeve Winter and an
Inspector met in Gorrie and laid out
the routes for the entire township.
Parties will be around to sell the Mail -
Boxes at $3 00 each and mail -carriers
will be advertised for and appointed
later, Howick will be served from
the folk wing postoffices - Clifford,
Fordwicl „ Gorrie and Wroxeter.
Farmers who have had the Mail De-
livery would rather have it than the
'phone. For eight months in the year,
the mail will be delivered daily in the
afternoon and for four months in the
morning,
A Wonderful Table.
The Exeter Times reports that Mr.
Garnet Heywood of that town has
recently completed a small parlor
table that consists of 21 varieties of
wood and 11,150 pieces. The main
table is walnut, while the decorative
parts are of different kinds of wood.
The legs are Fquare and contain 6,460
pieces. They are decorated with a
chain pattern, each link being made
out of several pieces of wood and
titted into a groove, The surface of
the table is perfectly smooth and is a
handsome design. The plans were
drawn and work executed by Mr.
Heywood, who was two years in the
making of it. Mr. Heywood values
the table at five hundred dollars.
Municipal Election.
Already there are indications of a
shake-up, or at least some stir in
municipal politics,,p>;esagi,q,g-a lively
contest. once think Mayor Ste tton
would n t object to a third term e,nd
second acclamation. Others think
Dr. Irw n or Dr. Redmond would /fill
the post ion creditably. But if /the
general c stone of Grit and Tory
mayor alterpately, should continue,
then Coun. Beak looms oseter Coen.
Elliott; these failing'to aspire, the old
veteran Wm, Holmes is hinted at -
and so rumors run, allowance being
made for the proverbial "dark horse."
For the Reeveship, there is promised
a lively contest, especially if Reeve
McDonald decides to again be a candi-
date, for we understand others would
like to air their eloquence at the
County Council. For Councillors, the.
names of John McCallum and Wm.
Isbister have already been mentioned
as probable new choices. We cannot
mention all the possible aspirants, it
is too early ; but we could mention a
whole lot whose names will not be on
the ballot papers.
Very Peculiar Indeed.
The Shelburne Free Press relates
the following, which will compare
very favorably with A. E. Bradwin's
news item about the spectacles being
found in the fish's mouth -Dan Mc-
Curdy of Shelburne is a staunch Tory
as many of our readers know, and you
always know where to find him when
an election comes round. Ile is also a
chicken fancier and keeps a fine lot of
the best varieties, including game
roosters. On Monday morning he
brought to this office a peculiar hen's
egg. One side of the egg is flat and
around the even eur•face is what aap.
pears to be an inscription in relief,
which Dan says contains the words
"Sept. 21st, 1011," and on the end of
the egg there is an outline picture of
Canada's popular Premier, the Hon,
U. Ie.. Borden, Den claims that when
the egg waxy laid about two weeks ago,
the opposite side of it contained a
faint outline of a picture of Sir Wil.

Rounded Up.
• • The North Battleford News has a
column report of the rounding -up of a
gang of petty, thieves in that city, by
Chief of Police McDermott and assist-
ant -Chief, Elmer Moore (formerly of
Wingham.) It is said to have been
the biggest and most startling in the
history of the town. The list of ar-
ticles recovered would fill nearly half
a column, and the purloiners were
remanded for trial and punishment.
Will Paint Stand -Pipe.
The Waterworks committee asked
for tenders for painting the inside and
outside of the standpipe, preparatory
to preparing it for the reception of the
domestic water from the flowing
wells. We understand that the plan
is to pump the water direct into the
mains, as soon as the motor arrives
and is placed in position. The stand-
pipe will then be emptied, cleaned,
and painted with two citet"., on the
inside, before being filled With the
domestic water.
Metnorial Service.
The Shellbrook Chronicle (Sask.) has
this reference to the late H. A. Fox -
ton, formerly of Wingham :-Rev, W.
H. Davis, incumbent of St. Andrew's,
speaking on the text --- "Behold I
stand at the door," showed that the
events of every day life were voices
calling to men from the Eternal. Re-
ference was made to the tragic events
of the week, and a tribute paid to the
memory of Mr. Foxton. At the con-
clusion of the sermon, Mr. G. R.
Branscombe rendered a solo -"One
Sweetly Solemn Thought."
Continuing Their Studies.
The following students of Wingham
High School are registered at Strat-
ford Normal School : - Miss Luella

culation standing, and is attending the
Medical Faculty, Western University,
London.
To Avoid Taking Cold.
Dr. R. Ellis writes to the Medical
Reeord that he has found a means to
avoid "taking cold." Ile writes. that
a, friend once said to him, "When I
feel a strong draft blowing on my
bald head I always rub it hard ; that
brings the blood back, and so 1 avoid
taking cold," Dr. Ellis says that later
on he notieed that sneezing in always
followed by a congestion of the face,
especially in those'avho sneeze heartily,
and says "that is natute'e way o`
bringing the blood back." Here fol-
lows bagel
suggestion -"When t
lows
mucous membrane is first congested
and one feels he is taking cold, let bins
bend the body forward, as in picking
up a pin, strain gently till the face is
red, and then in a erect position try to
breathe through the practically stop-
ped up nostrils, this to be repeated
until the nostrils are fully open."
Thin meal congestion ie the opening
Owlets to a cold, and the physician,
and
three years' observation a
after
practice, is convinced that his treat-
ment, is efficacious. In addition to
thin, one should, be tsaya►, take hot
drinke and exeroiee until that chilly
feeling disappearay

Adjourned Court Revision.
The County Judge was here on Fri-
day to revise the assessment roll for
1912, but as it was the day of our Fall
Fair, he adjourned the proceedings
until the 18th inst., et 10 a,m. The
necessary notice is given on page 8,
but the Advance adds this for the
information of those interested.
Next Monday Evening.
Mayor Spotton would like to see as
many of the ratepayers as possible
in the Council room at 8 30 next Mon-
day evening. The Council will meet
at 7 30, and after the meeting, the
question of paving the front street
will be opened for discussion. The
Mayor wishes to obtain the views of
the citizens on this important ques-
tion.
Entertained.
The A. Y. P. A. of St. Paul's
Church were enjoyably entertained
by Mrs. Dudley Holmes on Monday
evening. Some business for the socie-
ty was transacted, and programme
submitted for the winter's work. Mr,
Ed. Nash was elected President, and
with music and social conversation,
a very pleasant evening was spent.
September Wedding.
At the home of Mr. and Mrs. Chas.
Campbell on Thursday, Sept, 26, the
marriage of their daughter, Josephine,
to Mr. Melburn McDowell of Cordova
Mines, was quietly solemnized in the
presence of the immediate relatives.
Rev. D. Perrie of W ingham was the
officiating minister. Mr, and Mrs.
McDowell left in the afternoon for
Toronto and Havelock,
Dog's Bank Acconnt.
"Dumb Animalo" reports that-
"Tige, the dog who saved several lives
at a hotel fire in Columbus, Ohio,
three years ago, died last summer
with a bank account of $S00. Ile had
been given a regular allowance by his
owner, and ten cents additional for
every rat he killed. His body was
embalmed, placed in a white casket,
and carried to a cemetery in a
hearse."
Why Complain.
Why grumble at the weather ? Is
there not an abundance? Why corn -
plain ; is there not variety ? For in .
stance -Sunday evening, the sky was
clear, the stars bright, but before
morning dawned, there was snow, hail
and rain. Some days we have sure'
shine (just a peep) and clouds (many
and heavy) while the wind is not at
all partial, but blows from north;
south, east, west and all the inter-
vening points.
Short Hours And Better Pay.
Railroad operators will now have
shorter hours and better pay. Am-
bitious young men would do well to
take a course in the telegraphy de-
partment of the Stratford Business
College. The principal of said de-
partment, Mr. R. Larmour has had
more railroad experience than the in-
structor in any other telegraphy
school in America. You may enter
at any time. Write for a free cata-
logue.
A Prize Winner.
Mr. Norman L. Brandon of St.
Marys, formerly of Wingham, took
first prize for his hearse team at St,
Marys' Pall Fair, and first at Kirkton
1+'air, He then put one of the team in
single and took first prize for wattle -
man's turnottt ; he also took first for
best horse icy his class ; in other won ds,
he took sweepstakes. Norman also
captured 2nd prize for his team at
Stratford Fair. Norman is doing well
in business in the "Stone Town."
,peputation Of Council.
A deputation of the Town Council
went to Clinton on Monday to inter-
view the Jackson Bros. with a view
to inducing them to establish a
branch of their clothing factory here.
It is necessary for the firm to enlarge
their operations and for some time
they have had an eye on Wingham,
They will within a short time, visit
our town, look over the ground, and
make a proposition, The firrn is a
good one, and one of their fatctoriee
here would be a very desirable acquisi-
tion to our town.
Sudden Death.
As we go to prase, word reaches nit
of the sudden death of Mr. Win
Weir on Wednesday of this wet'k.
ito had been in %meet tr in the
