Among the Churches
An
For over half a century the Tillson
burg and Dereham Agricultural Fair
has enjoyed increased popularity and
success.In celebrating the 70th anniversary,
president H. F. Johnston and the
director* aimed at still great attain
ment. Few municipalities can boast
such an ideal site for their fair
grounds, with it* background of tree-
shaded Lake Lisgar. Much improve
ment was done to the grounds, such
as levelling and resodding, and erec
tion of permanent hydro poles, the en
tire enclosure presenting a most in
viting appearance. Tuesday, the open
ing day, despite a heavy shower at
noon, proved to be a better day than
the previous year. It being children's
day, several hundred juveniles were
given complimentary admission.
The exhibition space in the buildingc
had been bought up two week* before
the opening date. Many progressive
merchants are realizing that display
advertising is one of the best means
of reaching the public's mind.
As the judging occupied most of the
opening day, the crowd centred their
attention on the grand stand enter
tainment. The opening number was
S group of patriotic choruses, sung
by public school pupils, under the
direction of Mr. Arthur C. Ede, LT.
CM., who conducted the weekly
choral classes during the school term.
Their youthful voices were heard to
excellent advantage*; clarity of tone
and enunciation were especially
praiseworthy.
The baby show was one of, the largest in the history of Tillsonburg.

good quality.The women's department of domes
tic science contained a beautiful col

cooking and canned fruit* and vege
tables.
The second day was ideal, and the

gratified and feel convinced that this

To the Citizens of Tillsonburg:
Owing to this week being fair week,
it is not a very opportune time to reply
to Mr. E. V. Tillson’s letter, which
appeared in last week'* New*. Now
Mr. Tillson's letter will be taken care of in due course and he has stated
nothing with which the Council arc
not familiar. In the meantime, io ob
tain another angle on the situation, J*
would ask the citizens to read Mr.
Wynne-Roberts’ letter in another col
umn. Neither Mr. Tillson’s letter nor
this letter from Mr. Wynne-Roberts
definitely clears the atmosphere, as
there arc many points yet to be ex
plained and discussed before the by
law is voted on. In the meantime I
would ask the citizens to believe that
the council has not gone into this deal
without obtaining the best engineering
advice obtainable, not only Mr.
Wynne-Roberts but also Mr. Storrie
of Toronto, and are acting on their
advice in asking the citizens to vote
for the by-law on Sept. 10th, 1928.
Before closing this short letter I
would like to answer Mr. Tillson and
The E. D. Tillson Estate Limited that
they have no cause to worry about
their taxef being raised when the town
decides to purchase the waterworks
system, a* it is specially stated in the
by-law that the water rates must be
sufficient to pay the principal and in
terest on the debenture* a* well as pay
the operating charges, etc. The tax
payers as such and not as water-takers
will be exactly in the same position
whether the town owns the system or
the Waterworks Co., except that in
due time the taxpayers will own a very
valuable plant, which will pay divi
dends either directly in reducing taxes
or- indirectly in reducing the water

Port Bruce. August 19.—Three per
sons lost their lives in Lake Erie at
this summer resort this afternoon, and
other? had narrow escapes from
drowning, in a tragedy precipitated by
a sudden vicious squall on the lake,
causing an overwhelming undertow.
The story Is one of grim tragedy re
lieved by herioc rescue attempts, in
one of which a Detroiter sacrificed
his life in a gallant attempt to save a
nun and a woman, and in another a
St. Thomas man. after an exhausting
struggle, rescued his wife from drown
ing.
The dead are:
Roben Cornwall. 5357 Van Dyke
avenue. Detroit, aged about 30. a vic
tim of heart trouble while attempting
rescue in the turbulent waters.
Mrs. Freda Clark, widow,
Claremount street. Detroit, aged about
X. succumbed to heart disease when
dragged out by undertow.
^Harold E. Price, grocer, Talbot
street. St. Thomas, aged about thirty,
drowned
The bodies have all been recovered
and it was revealed on medical ex
amination that there was no water in
the lungs of Mr. Cornwell and Mrs.
Clark, leading to the theory of death
due to a heart attack.
Mrs. Walter Leslie, of St.
was heroically saved by her
a (solice constable on the St. Thomas
force, when she narrowly escaped with
her life when caught in the undertow.

Care of the Baby in Summer
Health Service of the Canadian Medi
Cal Association
More babies are sick in summer than
at other seasons. This may be prevented by proper care, which includes:
Breast reeding—Every baby should
be breast-fed by his mother. Breast
milk is the best milk for babies. It
contains all those things which the
baby** body require*. It is fresh; it is
free from germ*. Mothers should
never wean their babies excepting
when advised to do so by their phys
icians. - •
Safe Milk—If the baby is not breast
fed, or after h^ has been weaned, he
mutt have safe milk. Pasteurized milk
should be procured or. if it cannot be
bought, thx milk that is supplied should
be boiled for three minutes, or it can
also be pasteurized at home. The milk
should be kept on ice. covered, and so
protected from dirt, flies and insects.
Water—The babv should be given
plenty of water. He cannot ask for it.
Bathing—The baby should have a
bath once a day. In hot weather, an
extra sponge-off is good.
Fresh Air—The baby should practi
cally live out-of-doors, on the porch, or
in the yard. If he sleeps indoors, the
window* should be wide open.
Sunlight—The baby should have a
sunbath every day, beginning with
short exposures until the whole body is
exposed to the benefit* of the sun’s
Clothing—The baby's clothes should
be according to the weather. Many
children are over-clothed. On very
warm days, all clothes except the dia
per can be removed?
Flics and Insects—Because they
spread disease, all flies and insects
should be kept away from the child. Netting should be used.
In case of any digestive upset or ir
regularity of the bowel movements, a
physician should be consulted at once.
At the beginning, such conditions' re
spond promptly to proper treatment;
it allowed to continue, the condition
may become serious and difficult to
eure.
Questions concerning Health, ad
dressed to the Canadian Medical As-
ociation, 184 College Street, Toronto,
will be answered by letter. Question*
as to diagnosis and treatment will Hot

Being mulcted of a lot of

the Alli.ton Herald. Every few days
lately there have been calls for alms
from a variety of people. A deaf and
dumb man was in town recently and
presented his claim for charity in every
place of business in town. It is not
' long since two colored canvassers for
orphanages picked up a feu loose

ple in this town. In the subscription
records of these men there were sev

Half a Century as Editor
Mr. M. A. James has had the un
ique experience of celebrating his
golden jubilee as editor and propriet
or of The Bowman villc Statesman.
The first twenty years of his active
life were spent on a farm, then ten
years as a public school teacher, and
fifty years as a editor of The States
man. That his mangaement was right
has been evidenced by the constant
improvements made in the paper, and
increased circulation.
His editorials under the heading
“The Editor Talks" have given the
paper leadership combined with a
strong personality. His editorial com
ments may well be considered the out
standing and continuous feature of
The Statesman for half a century, a»
they have often been quoted in the
leading pa|ters of the country and
brought forth favorable comments on
many occasions. A few years ago Mr.
James, while continuing the editorial
duties, handed over the business to
his sons. Geo. W. and Norman, who
in the conduct of the Statesman, are
proving worthy successors to their revered father.

OV pcayai’ce against a certain class
of offenders on the part of some
magistrates in the province is causing
the attorney-general’s department
considerable worry of late. This is
particularly so since the tourist sea
son has opened and speeders haled
before county and city magistrates.
The department is anxious to stop
speeding by motorists onsthe streets
and highways, but realizes that visitors
from the United States sometimes
violate the speed law out of habit,
faster time being permitted in
native respective states than
Canada. Brought before magistrates
here, they are often fined more
heavily than the occasion requires, and
and this is liable to injure the tourist
traffic which the government has spent
much thought and money tojoiter.

Robert Cornwell was on the shore
dressed, but when he saw Mrs. Clark
and Harold Price in difficulties he
threw off some of his clothes and went
into the rough water* to attempt their
rescue. He, too, was caught in
undertow and lost his life with the
he was attempting to save.
Exhausted
Walter Leslie exhausted by his
forts in saving his wife, was hi
weak a condition to be able to go to
the assistance of the three helpless
in the undertow and they were car
ried beyond assistance.
Harold Price was swimming along
with Mrs. Clark when both were
drawn from shore, and it is believed
that Price, though almost helpless
himself, lost the op|K»rlunity to reach
shore alone by endeavoring to save
his companion.
Harold Price was the brother of
Mrs. Leslie.
Londoner Tries
Frank Barrett, of Ford & Barrett.
London, was one of those who unsuc- •
cessfully attempted the rescue of Mrs.
Clark, and after the bodies were re
covered Charles Cooper, of Penmans.
Limited. London, who is an expert on
first aid work, endeavored for an hour
and a half to effect resuscitation. Others
who aided were Dr. A. R. Post, of St.
Thomas; Dr. E. Elliot, of Sparta; Dr.
YoueO. of Aylmer; Dr. Crawford, of
Detroit; Dr. Steele, of Ixutdon; Dr.
McCrae, of Aylmer, and Mrs. Elsie
Gerry traied nurse, of London.
J. W. Wilson, owner of the Ormond
Beach resort, stated later that
there are no holes at the jioint where
the deaths occurred, but that the
water was too rough for bathers, al
though smooth when the party left the
beach. They were on a sand bar when
an unusually large wave struck and
carried them out.
The lifeleses body of Cornwell drift
ed in to shore after the tragedy and
an hour later, while searchers were
hunting foe the bodies of Mrs. Clark
and Harold Price, their bodies were
also washed up on shore.
Robert Cornwall had taken a chill
and gone into shore and dressed when
lie saw that Mrs. Clark and Price were
in difficulty. Going into the water in
his excited Condition, and just recover
ing from a chill, Cornwell died of
heart disease, there being no water in
his lungs when be was examined by
the nhysicians who looked after the
drowned and exhausted.
Strangle Hold
According to report, neither Mrs.
Leslie nor Mrs. Clark could swim.
Walter Leslie had to break, a Mrgngle.
hold which J.’j wiic i.-u on him belort-
he was able to bring her to shore.
There were many ready and willing
to help the survivors and attempt to
resuce the drowning, but, as J. W.
Wilson, of Ormond Beach said,
things seemed to be against our
efforts.”
Dr. Colin Sinclair, coroner. Alymer,
after 'visiting the scene and investiga-
ing the circumstances, decided that an
inquest would not be necessary.
Harold Price is survived by his wife
and two children—Donna, aged five,
and Lois, aged nine months. He also
leaves two sisters and a brother—
Mrs. Jack Slater and Miss Madge and
Murray, all of St. Thomas. Mr. Corn-
well and Mrs. Clark were visiting at
the home of Mr. Price and all the
parties concerned were related. Mr.

Vienna. Aug. 17.—Thursday was Old
Timers’ Day at Vienna, but one old
Timer failed to appear, to the keen dis
appointment
gathered in
posed visit,
to appear is
great investor, and a boyhood resident
of this village. All day folk waited in
Vienna, scrutinizing the occupant* of
every automobile that rolled in in the
hope that it contained the inventor.
Everywhere one heard inquiries and
conjecture*.' A dozen or more rumor*
were afloat. They had it that Mr. Edi
son had lost his way. that he was on
his way, and finally a press photog
rapher from Toronto got inside infor
mation from some source that the great
man had slipped into Vienna during
the day. visited hi* old home and
slipped out again with only two or
three person* being aware of hi* pres
ence. A village constable was spread
ing a report about a >
that had been sent or received by some
newspaper reporter. •" Newspaper representatives were
numerous, to say the least. Mr. Edison
would have run into a veritable barrage
of inquisitive scribes had he visited
Vienna. Two Toronto papers sent
special photographers, and when the
famous Edison failed to appear, they
proceeded to take pictures of all the
ocal Edisons who would stand for be
ing photographed. Cousin*—second,
third, fourth and fifth of Thomas A.
Edison—were interviewed and re-
interviewed. The out-of-town scribes
lingered around the old Edison home,
now occupied by Mr. and Mrs. J. P.
Coombe.- Both Mr. and Mrs. Coombe
were besieged. Had they had any fur
ther word? Were they holding out
something on the press at Mr. Edison's
request?
Other l.rwton There
Although Thomas A. Edison failed
to appear. Thursday, Vienna was not
without its native sons who have gain
ed prominence in science and inven
tion. One is John W. Roberts of Sar
nia. president of the Roberts Auto
matic Connector Company. Limited, in
ventor of a patent automatic coupler
for railway cars, and the other is
Henry A. Sheldon of Buffalo, N.Y, a
camera expert who has been associated
with the Eastman Company of Roches
ter for many years. A modest chap is
Henry Sheldon, curiously camera-shy.
He didn’t care about being photograph
ed, although he had miniature motion
picture camera with him and took shot*
of many .of the reunion events.
Mr. Roberts confessed that it was
the first time he had posed for a press
photographer. Despite his eighty-
three year*. Mr. Roberts is a* smart as
the proverbial cricket and his memory
is truly remarkable. He told~about the
early day* in Vienna when it was the
centre of the district, a lumber town
with big scows plying up and down the Otter Creek from Port Burwell He
told of the solid block* of buildings
that lined both sides of the main street,
of the many busy retail store* and
business office*. He enumerated the
principal industries of Vienna in those
early day*. Then Vienna had two large sawmills, a big and busy grist mill,
two tanneries, a brick yard, distillery, several shoe manufacturing shops, a
n umbel of harness shops, tailor shops,
two cabinet works, a pail factory em
ploying many men. three wagon and
blacksmith shops jointly in operation
and a number of independent black
smith shop*. Lumbering was the basic
industry of the period and many of
Vienna* male population had year-
round employment in the great
stretches of virgin forest that sur
rounded the village, in the mills and
lumber yards and on the scows that
transported the lumber to other places.
Many Brilliant Mind.
Mr. Roberts is proud to be a native
of Vienna: he is proud of the many brilliant minds that the village' has
given the world According to Mr.
Robert*. Alexander Graham Bell in
ventor of the telephone, lived in Vienna
as a boy and was the first from the vil-
duced a yellowed newspaper dipping
telling of the death of the little girl
who had made that floral presentation
52 year* before.
There were tear* in Professor
Baker's eye* when he read the dipping
and explained that it had been sent
lo him by his mother and so carefully preserved. The little girl was the
daughter of Dr. Tweedalc, a physician
of Vienna at the time, who later prac
ticed in St. Thomas.
Professor Baker told of his intro
duction to Vienna as a teacher and of
the kindly and encouraging reception
he received from the late George
Thornton, father of Mr*. McAllister,
wife of Vienna’s reeve. Mr. Thornton
was a member of the Vienna school
board in 1870 and it was on hi* invita
tion that Professor Baker came to
Vienna. He told how Mr. Thornton
took him to the school and introduced
him io the pupil* and gave him sound
advice about the maintenance of dis
cipline. Professor Baker's predeces
sor in the school had not been partic
ularly successful in controlling the
scholars. “
Many of those who attended Thurs
day's school session was moved to
tear* when a visiting woman was intro
duced to Professor Baker as a little girlable was rpread- duced lo ProleMOr Baker a* a little girl wireless message he hld known he in chargf

The result is that he has perfected an

should eliminate much of the danger
involved In trainmen going between

A Woman Wronged
The Secret of a Crime
BY CAROLINE HART
Which piece of hopeful consolation
Mr. Tremaine took with him as he
went about his own business and his
own devices, leaving the young lovers,
who were so soon to part, to enjoy
their last happy hours in peace.
They did enjoy them. M>. Tremaine
had announced that he was going out
of town, and had bade "Good-by and
Godspeed” to Herbert, so that Flor
ence was relieved from his obnoxious
attentions, at least, and Mr. Hamilton,
instead of keeping Herbert constantly
beside him as had been his custom of
late seemed to through the young people
togther, and give them every oppor
tunity of being in each other’s com
pany,—an act of considerate kindness
which had all the effect he desired of
inspiring them with confidence in him
self in the present, and thereby mak
ing them, in the future, his easy vic
tims. ■
The two lovers Would have been
happier than they had been
many a day, had
for the heavy cloud of approaching
separation that hung over them. But
they were young, and when was youth
without hope? Through the mists of
present sorrow they looked forward
to the bright sunshine of happy love
and union in that blest Future, when
parting and separation should be no
more.Both had written to Helen entreating
her to come to them for these parting
days, at any cost.
"If Mrs. Gordon is so unreasonable
and unkind as to refuse you an oppor
tunity to bid your brother farewell”—
wrote Florrie—“leave your position, I
beg of you, dear Nell, and, until we
can find you a better one, remain
with me." And Herbert had added, by
way of poscript, “If you do not, and
cannot do this, my dear sis, let me
know, and I will steal a day from my
sweetheart to pass with you." But his
last proposition Helen would not hear
of."I would not, for the world, lake
Cu from poor Florrie," she wrote
ck. “She feels unhappy enough al
ready at the prospect of your parting,
I am sure. Besides we could have no
comfort here. I would rather have
one day with you in New York than
a week here. So I will take the ‘one
day’ if Mrs. Gordon consents to give
me. Do not look for me until the ev-
ning before you sail, howver, or pos
sibly the morning of the day itself;
may it prove as fortunate a day to you,
my darling brother, as it must needs
be an unhappy one; the first day of a
new and bright career that shall lead
you, in the end, to happiness I”How she wept over and kissed this
letter, knowing that the promise it
contained was a lie—that she could
not, and dared not, meet her
brother’s eyes—that this was the only
farewell she could take of him—can
be better imagine by those who
know her miserable story than de
scribed by me; with her own hand she
mailed the letter that was to prevent
Herbert’s coming, and then, upon
that same night, while all the rest of
the Gordon household slept, she wrote
to him that other letter which was to
lie in her desk, until—in the event of
her death, or any unforeseen evil—it
• should reveal to him all the truth.
Well did she know—she who had
> loved so fondly—well did she know
that, when the day of parting cape,
these two sorrowing ones would be too
i much absorbed in their personal grief
I to miss a sister's farewell. That Her
bert would think of her, would won
der at, and be pained by her absence
she was sure, but it would be such a
little pang compared to that of a lov
er's parting! And at that last hour,
Herbert would have neither inclination
nor time to come to Gifftown. She
drew a long breath of relief at the
thought of having escaped him. even
while her tears fell fast over that part
ing without farewell
without good-by?" This question was
on the lips and in the thoughts of
both.
“They must be strange people,
these Gordons, if they refused her a
day's holiday at such a time,” Herbert
said. “My mind is uneasy, Florrie. I
ought to have gone to see the child
before now—but she seemed to shrink
from any one visiting her. I fear they
arc unkind to her. Oh, I wish I had
gone to her myself I”
“I will go, dear," said Florrie, com
forting him. “Don't worry about it; I
will go to her to-morrow, and if she
is not happy, will make her come
home with me. Set your heart at rest
for Helen, dear; she is my sister, too."
What wonder that Herbert's heart
did find rest being so sweetly com
forted! And besides, as Helen had
calculated, he had his nearer, deeper,
more particular grief, to drive anxiety
for a sister—however dear—from his
breast.
The hour of parting came; and the
"Saucy Jana," with all her qanvas
spread, danced on the water like a
bright sea-bird, eager to take
flight. Herbert, and his friend. Dr.
Searle, who was the only passsenger,
stood surrounded by a group of kindly

brought up together, and loved each

Hamilton said; and he bade her kiss

leniently as he received her from Her
bert’s arms again.
A bitter parting! If the last kiss and
the last embrace arc bitter to give
and receive when no curious eyes are
looking on, what arc they in the cold
or inquisitive crowd, when the heart's
anguish must be kept down, lest it be

stood firm, and brave, and
very pale; her soft arms clung about
her lover’s neck, in that last, permit

—“I will—see Nell—to-morrow"—and
then she felt that another word would
choke her; she submitted to be plac

soft eyes on her lover’s anguished
face until the very last and impatient

she knew nothing except that one of

that those swift white wings were bear

dwindled down, for her, to that one
poor ship. The crowd around her—

CHAPTER XX
News of Helen
There was no journey to Gifftown
next day for Florence. The girl was
ill.; prostrated by grief, and confined
to her bed by a violent nervous head
ache; and yet—with the strange
versity that is often a mark of
form of nervous suffering—her
and aching brain refused that
which would have been healing,
persisted in going over the problem
of Helen’s absence from that part
ing scene, over and over again.
“She ha* not seen Herbert since his
last voyage at all," she mused, as she
tossed restlessly—"and then to let him
go away for three long years—oh„ my
darling! my darling!—for three long
dreadful years, without good-by How
could she? And ‘she had promised to
come! She said Mr*. Gordon had giv-
given her that one day—oh, there
must be something wrong! Why am
I ill to-day; unable to keep my pro
mise to my darling. Helen’s conduct
has certainly been strange ever since
I came home; she would not come to
me, she hardly every writes—what can
be the reason?"
She had been too much engaged
between her two lovers—the favored
and the detested-one—to pay much
attention to the subject before; but
now—now, when she felt as if Her
bert had given Helen into her care, it
struck her forcibly. Undoubtedly Hel
en had avoided both Herbert and her
self, but why? She turned her aching
head upon the pillow in a weary
effort to escape that ever-recurring
question—“Why ? "
"To-morrow I will go to her, and
find out,” she thought. "She will not
refuse me her confidence when we
meet face to face. Herbert is right.
We should have seen to this before;
she has been left to herself too long.
Ah, me! We were selfish in our happi
ness, Bertie and I—we forgot one who
had no love to cheer her life! Poor,
dear Nell! And she is so sensitive and
proud, poor child—she may feel that
we have neglected her. But I
make her amends—to-morrow!”
Alas! that "to-morrow!" That
on which we arc to do so much;—
which plays so sad and strange a part
in human lives. Wisely was it said—
"To-day is the accepted time.” Few
wrongs shall ste their righting in this
world, while the Wronger puts off
amendment until "to-morrow."
Florence had done no wrong, how
ever, and therefore the morrow and
horror it may have in store—shall
bring her no remorse. As night came
down, and the silence and the dark
ness soothed her pain, she fell asleep
at last and dreamed of the wild sea,
still troubled by the memocjt-ot last
night’s storm, and tossing angrily
around the ship that held her lover. But
no drcam showed her those same wild
waves ravening over Helen's senseless
form;—nor the bed of death, aboard
the “Saucy Jane" where the hapless
mother slumbered by her babe: and,
though she had thought of Gifftown
ere she fell asleep and murmured to
herself—"I shall go to-morrow!”—no
vision of a fisher's nets, in which a
hat had caught—or of a wide, flat
beach, on which a wet cloak lay, hint
ing at an awful story—nor of a girl's
fair body with long golden hair,—
for which, through all that night the

fiihermen kept sharp watch—no vision
of these things disturbed her slum
bers. Sleep on, gentle Florence, and
forget for awhile your own sad ach
ing heart.—there will be time enough
for all these things—“to-morrow!"
The morning dawned bright and
clear, and the girl came down to the
breakfast table with a pale face, in
deed, but yet with one from which she
strove to banish the marks of grief,—
“for dear papa's sake; papa, who had
been so ' ’
sympathy with her sorrow.'
bent down to kiss him—for he wa*
seated, and reading the newtpaper*
when she entered—Mr. Hamilton
looked up quickly into her face, and
his own brightened as he saw her
effort to be brave, and realized how
good a thing it wa* (for hi* plans)
that she should, thus early, make this
resolute stand against her sorrow. He
drew her swet face down, and kissed
it fondly, but—save-by an inquiry as
to her headache of the night before
made no sort of reference to her be
reavement.
"My little girl looks like herself
again," he said, qulcty. “I am glad of
that, for I have a letter from Mr.
Tremaine this morning telHnn me he
has returned, and will call to-day. _ I
am engaged in important business with
Tremaine, my dear, and am particular
about having you show him some at
tention. I should have felt disappoint
ed had you been ill, or unable to see
him when he called, you know."
And he went on calmly reading his
l>apcr again, as if he had no other in
terest in her reception of Tremaine
than that which wa* expressed in hi*
words. The girl—pouring out his
coffee thoughtfully, hesitated awhile,
not knowing how to tell him of her
intended trip to Gifftown.
“I hope it would not disappoint you
very much, dear papa, if I ihould be
out when Mr. Tremaine, calls to-day.
I'm afraid 1 can't avoid it,"," »he said,
affectionately—and then she told him
about Helen, and her own anxiety in
her regard. “And 1 shall know no rest
or peace until I know the reason of
her absence and silence, papa,” she
went on. “I hoped I should have had
a letter—some word of explanation, to
kind, and shown so much
As she
but I have none. I want to go
Gifftown, at once, dear papa, if you
please, and find out the truth for
myself."The place was at the distance of a
journey of an hour and a .half, per
haps; it would be easy for Florence
to return that same evening, unless
her friend should urge her to remain.
This further indulgence might be
politic, Xk. Hamilton thought; all
tenderness shown her in these, her
sorrowful days, would bring forth a
fruitful harvest of gratitude and con-
findencc by and by.
"And besides, she has no one to talk
to about her lost love here," he mused,
"and we all know what sometimes
not
"and we all know what
comes of 'the grief that doe*
speak.’ Let her unburden her heart
to this girl friend and khc'll forget
the sooner. I'll let her go!"
So he consented—pretending
mourn a little at not having her to
tertain Tremaine.
"He likes female society; and
important to me to please him,"
sighed, and fell to reading his paper
again.
Suddenly he uttered a cry, and al
most let the paper fall, looking up
meanwhile, blankly at Florence.
"It was Gifftown you said?” he ask
ed her. “Then it must be the same,
indeed! Good God! Helen Gare!
that child, whom we knew, who ha* sat
at this table many a time!—oh, how
horrible I”And then in answer to her anxious
looks and entreaties—for she wa*
shocked and terrified at his words—
he read as follow*:,
"Mysterious disappearance of a
beautiful young girl. Is it a case of
suicide?
“Mis* Helen Gare—a young lady
who has. for some time past, held
the position of governess in the
family of Mrs. Gordon, of Gordon
House—has been missing from her
home since the evening before last,
and it is almost beyond doubt that she
has been drowned, though whether by
accident or design it is difficult to de
termine. The unfortunate young lady
was last seen upon Black Rock Point,
in company with a man who wore a
full black beard, rather a late hour on Tuesday evening. Shortly afterward,
and during the storm which raged that
night, piercing screams were heard
by several persons living in the vicin
ity of the Point. On the following
morning Mis* Gare’* hat was found,
caught in *ome fishing nets; and a
cloak which she wdre when *he left
Gordon House wa* cast up upon the
beach by the tide. The unfortunate
girl herself ha* not been seen again,
and, as she i» known to have been
despondent of late, it is feared that
she committed suicide.- A lover’s
quarrel is supposed to have been the
cause. It is, however, possible, that
to
cn-
standing in so exposed a place in a
gale of wind, her fluttering cloak and
garments may have caused her to lose
her footing, and fall accidentally into
the sea. No doubt is entertained,
however, that she has been drowned,
and watchers are stationed along the
shore to look for the body, which will
probably come in with to-night's or
to-morrow's tide. Miss Gare was a
remarkably beautiful and very aimable
KI, and her untimely and mournful
c has cast a cloud of sorrow over
our entire community."
As Mr. Hamilton finished reading he
laid the paper down, and met his
daughter’s horrified incredulous gaze;
his own aspect at that moment was
scarcely less troubled and startled than
hers. He uttered an exclamation of
pity and grief.
“It is horrible I I can’t realize it. It
bewilders me!” he cried. “Helen
dead!”
Florence interrupted him with a cry.
“It is impossible! There is some mis
take, papal It can't Jig our Helen.
Herbert’s own darling sister, whom he
gave to my care!" She had reached
over for the paper and scanned the
account. "Oh, God! It is Helen! It
is!" she cried, and broke out weeping
bitterly.
At that instant the door-bell rang,
and presently Mr. Tremaine, a privi
leged visitor in that house, was an
nounced and entered. He was look
ing pale and harassed, and fatigued,
but as soon as Mr. Hamilton explained
the cause of their grief he made haste
to volunteer his serviccse.
"Either to accompany you to the
spot." he said to Mr. Hamilton, "or to
go in your place, you being so much
engaged, and make all proper inquiries
and arrangements. Let me see—Giff
town. Now, where is that?”
Mr. Hamilton explained. “It is quite
a famous fishing-place/* said he; “I
should think you would have been
there Tremaine."
Mr. Tremaine protested earnestly—
so earnestly that Florence wondered.
"Never was their in my life 1 assure
you, but that's no reason why I should
not go now, in your and Miss Florrie'*
service. Anything that I can do for
her!—I am only sorry that this is so
sad an occasion, so sad to her. Giff
town! 1 shall find it alright. Now.
when is the next train?"
There’: " ’

"1 shall go by it still!” cried

am very glad to have a gentleman
cither papa or yourself, Mr. Tremaine
—to accompany me and assist me, of
course. I will go and get ready at
once—there is no use in sitting down
and weeping for poor Nell, while I can
be up and doing her some service—I
can weep afterward. Oh, I was wrong
and cruel to neglect her so! 1 will get
ready at once, Mr. Tremaine,
you shall take me with you!"
Mr. Tremaine's pale face had
come suddenly ashen gray; he

have been there for such purposes—the
fishing, the bathing, of course. But
I must needs say—and protest—that
I didn’t know the place; and now—if
Florence meets Amy Gordon, the cat
will be out of the bag. And Florence
is just the high-flown, romantic »ort
of.girl to despise a falsehood, how
ever trifling. I've been a fool!"
The situation—trifling and insignifi
cant a* it appeared—confounded him;
he could tee no way of smoothing the
matter over, no plausible excuse f—
his own want of truthfulness; and yet,
he was, by nature and habit, an un
scrupulous man; a man who had faced
some terrible situation* in hi* time,
and, either bv fraud, force, cunning, or
violence, had always been able to
conquer adverse circumstances, and
make hi* own cause good. Strange,
that he should find himself thus cowed and unnerved before two innocent
young girls. Hi* usual cool self-pos

secret realization that thi* was so.
added to his discomfiture and alarm.
He wiped the dew of a nervou* terror
from hi* brow, with an unsteady
hand. “What the devil ails me?” he
muttered to himself. "I've been in far
worse hole* before and squirmed out
of them; what does it matter, any
way? Perhap* I »han’t meet Amy at
all; or perhaps *he’ll not speak of
meeting me that night, before Flor
ence at any rate; if *he docs—why I
shall have to make some excuse, and
Florence will think I lied, and that’s
all about it. Pshaw! This cursed busi-
nes* has unstrung my nerves—that’s
the whole truth about it."
Incidentally he explained as much to
and
be-
sat
and
movement of a man who must fail if
he attempts to stand for a minute
longer. Both father and daughter
looked at him in surprise; he forced
himself to smile, speaking with diffi
culty as from parched and fevered lips.
"I am not well." he said to Mr. Ham
ilton. “A little wine? Yes. Thank you.
It will pass away. 1 am subject to
these attacks of late—over-anxiety
and work. I think. I—thank you, I am
all right again. Did I understand you
to say, Miss Hamilton, that you would
accompany me to Clifftown Beach?
Surely not. There may be a terrible
sight—a dreadful shock to your
nerves.“I am goiing," said Florence, with
firm resolve, "if the sea casts up its
dead at my feet! Nothing you can say-
can alter my resolution, Mr. Tremaine.
If you arc going to Gifftown at
eleven, as you have said, I will go with
you!"

its ghastly paleness.
"J was oyer this road a few night*

creasing the calcium content of the blood was described yesterday at. the
American Chemical Society Institute
by Dr. Ellice McDonald.' director of cancer research at the University of
Pennsylvania. .....Patients suspected to be inclined to

"A person who suspects that through
inheritance he may be a likely subject
for the disease of cancer in later life
may now be forewarned," the physician
declared, "and may be treated for the
deficiencies in his blood which are sus

He described cancer as a disease

cancer patients.

She loved her Saviour, and to Him

PRAYER
"Our Father in Heaven, we return
thanks to Thee for the multitude of Thy tender mercies towards us. For
give us for our forgetfulness of Thy
benefits in times past. Grant unto us
strength to emulate the example of
Jesus who gave His life m ministry for

SCRIPTURE
Eph. 4: 17-32.
MEDITATION
Eph. 4: 32. "And be ye kind one to
another." For several yean we have
paid occasional visits to an Ontario
town in which one of the' best-known
characters is a helplessly crippledJad
who is pushed around the streets in a wheeled chair. This lad is absolutely
dependent upon other boys of about
his own age for the means of getting
about So faithful are these boys in
the performance of their worthy task
that the crippled boy is found at every
baseball game, parade, or anything
else of interest to boys. Watching
closely, we failed to see one instance of
indifference, or unkindness on the part
of the other boys towards their weaker
fellow. It is a striking example of the
fulfilment of the injunction of the
Apostle: "Be ye kind one to another."
One of the moit practical fruits of
Christianity is kindness. Yet. how
often Christian people are put to
shame fcy those who make no profes
sion of Christianity at all Whatever
the reason may be, the world is richer
for,the spirit of kindness and sympathy
awakened by the presence of pain and
affliction. Indeed, this may be one of
the reasons. The absence of misfor
tune, with the consequent lack of op
portunity to exercise the virtues of lov
ing ministry, (flight mean for us infinite
loss, instead of gain.
HYMN
“Where cross the crowded ways of life.
Where sound the cries of race and
clan.Above the noise of selfish strife.
We hear Thy voice, O Son of Mani
The cup of water given for Thee
Still holds the freshness of Thy
grace;Yet long these multitudes to sec
The sweet compassion of Thy face.eel compassion of Thy face.'

Peat fuel i« the only natural fuel
apart from wood, which occurs in
economic quantities in the province*
of Ontario and Quebec. The Depart
ment of Mine* up to the present time
has surveyed, (napped and sampled
over 25U.U00 acres of peat bog*,
strategically located with respect to
transportation and population in these
two province*. The total content of
Standard peat fuel which can Ik
manufactured from the peat in this
area is e»timated to be contiderably
over 250,(00.010 tons. The Dominion
Fuel Hoard, in it* interim report,
recommended the use of peat where
it can be produced and supplied econo
mically-. as a mean* of decreasing de
pendence on imported anthracite.
In order to demonstrate the fca»i-
bility of manufacturing peat fuel on
an economic ba»i* under conditions
obtaining in Canada, the Dominion
Government decided in 1927 to con-
ktruct a peat manufacturing plant at
Alfred, Ontario. " _
recommendation* and plan* of
Joint Peat Committee. The .
which was completed in May. 1928,
is practically automatic, and when in
normal operation will have a capacity
oi 2U,(KKI ton* of standard peat fuel,
during a »ea*on of 100 days, operating
22 hour* per day. On account of the
late spring and the excessive rainfall
1 since that time, manufacturing opera-
' tion* were seriously retarded, but not
withstanding the»e drawbacks it is ex
pected that about 10,000 tons of fuel
; will Ik available for »ale at the ter
mination of operation*. Effort* will
be made to market the fuel in an area
; within a (fl-mile radius of the peat
. plant. It is expected that a large por
tion of the output will be consum-
i ed in the immediate locality, that is.
. within twenty mile* of the plant, and
' that motor truck deliver)- can be em
ployed for this business. ThV citie*
of Montreal and Ottawa. however,
have been good markets for |xat fuel
and a portion of the production will be
*old in these citie*.
During the present summer it it ex
pected that a peat manufacturing plant
now* in course f erection on a bog
near St. Hyacinthe Quebec, will be
manufacturing peat fuel for *ale in
the vicinity of the plant and in Mon
treal The product i* the same as that manufactured at Alfred; the
method employed however, the hydro-
pi at procc**. i* radically different. Al
Alfred the peat is removed from the
liog by mean* of an automatic excava
tor. then macerated, spread on the
ground, and cut into block* for dry
ing; but at St. Hyacinthe the peat will
be excavated by means of powerful
hydraulic jet*, the hydraulicking serv
ing the two purposes of excavating
and macerating. The resultant mixture of peat and water is then distribu
ted by pipe line* into shallow basin*
where, after it has been dried by the
sun until it hold* together, it is cut up
into block*. The capacity of this plant
when in full operation will Ik in the
vicinity of 15X00 tons annually.
Peat i* an exceedingly valuable
auxiliary fuel for heating in the airly
spring and late fall and is especially
adapted for open fireplaces and kitch
en range*. It is not equal to anthra
cite in heating value and is, there
fore. not suitable for burning in fur
naces during severe weather, but it
can be burned throughout the heating
season in Quebec type heater* and
heater* designed for burning wood.
While peat is more bulky than coal or
coke and long rail hauls should, there
fore. be avoided, it is nevcrthelc**
estimated that about 20 per cent of
the domestic fuel requirement* of the
province* of Ontario and Quebec could
be met by peat.

to the

The average woman fails to appre- ,
ciate the fact that many foods looked i
upon at certain seasons as expensive, '
are really reasonable in price and ,
sometimes actually cheap. i
Price is only relative, and we should i
remember this when we arc market
ing. If wc don't, we arc likely to fly ]
off on a tangent and come home with- ,
out some of the things we need, bring- i
ing in their place certain foods that '
wc arc at present eating too freely.
Let us take oranges and present ,
time to prove our point. This fruit is <
selling today at a price that many
women look upon ar- rather high. '
Probably here and there a woman is
buying in smaller quantities or not at
all, waiting for the price to come
down to last year's level Is she act
ing wisely or even intelligently when
she takes the stand?
Five cents for an orange may ap
pear high to the women who purchas
ed oranges last year for thirty «x
forty cents a dozen. But how about
figuring upon size before deciding that
the price is too high. Wc do not
hesitate to pay five cents (or a very
small portion of butter, beefsteak or
walnut meat—and wc are so accus
tomed to paying from sixty cents to
a dollar a pound for such foods that
wc hardly think of the price. Place
an orange beside five cents’ worth
of porterhouse steak, or five cents'
worth of many of our other staples,
and we will see that even at sixty
cents a dozen, oranges arc not par
ticularly high.
Or figure this so-called high price
of ours by the pound. Oranges selling
at sixty cents a dozen, probably
average about three to the pound
brining our prices per pound down to
fifteen cents.
This is interesting, isn't it? Here
wc have paid sixty cents a pound for
butter when it was not particularly
plentiful every year since wc first
started to market and wc rarely complain. We pay forty, fifty, sixty or
; even seventy cents a pound for meat—
and still wc keep comparatively quiet.
But when we are paying fifteen
i cents a pound for oranges wc begin to
shout "expensive." Price is merci)
i relative. Instead of paying a high
. price for oranges today, wc arc real!)
paying a price that is a little higher
than a very cheap price paid when the
crop was much heavier and the de
mand not so great.
No! There is no argument by bring
ing up the fact that sixty cent meat
is natural because it comes from the
middle west and it takes a steer a
long time to go from calfdom to beef-
dom. Your breakfast orange probably
comes from California, from a tree
that had l»ecn growing for years be
fore the steer’s mother was born.
We merely get into a rut by com
paring prices when they arc high
with prices when they are low, and
not realizing that climate, crop, rain
fall. packing, selection of quality fruit
and a dozen and one other things en
ter into the high price that nuj pre
vail at a certain time.
To a great extent we should forget
price and think more of health. The
minute we do this we will be able to
save enough on foods that wc arc now
eating too heavily, to purchase all we
need of the foods that wc should eat
more than we now do.
Most of us eat too heavily of car
bohydrate and protein foods that have
an acid reaction in the stomach, and
not heavily enough of fresh fruits and
green vegetables—particularly the leaf
vegetable. See to it therefore that
expensive carbohydrates and proteins
are purchased in leas quantity—«nd
with the money saved you can pur
chase more liberally of the desirable
balancing foods, even though they may
be selling at a little higher figure than
they were a month or a year ago.
See to it that you eat heavily of
green vegetables and fresh fruits of
all kinds. Drink milk if you like it.
Drink lemonade when thirsty and help
to reduce the acidity of your body—
for strange as it may seem, lemons like
oranges have a decided alkaline
effect when taken into the vystem.
Drink plenty of pure cold water. Eat
salads, fruit cups, light desserts. Sleep.
Exercise.
Do these things and you need not
worry about the high price of some
special fruit or vegetable. You will
save enough on other things to con
tinue your use of the food that improves your health. If you don't. youU
surely save more than enough by the
elimination of doctor’s bills.
Food is expensive when you do ndt
get enough of it, or when you eat it
too heavily. Don't worry overmuch
about the price you pay. One food.
August 20th, 1928
Mr. Donald F. Gibson,
Solicitor,
Tillsonburg, Ont.
Dear sir:—The letter that appear
ed in the Tillsonburg News of August
16, 1928, over the signature of Mr.
E. V. Tillson with reference to the
matter of the Town acquiring the
Waterworks, contains some statemenu
which require an answer and in con
formity with your request, we sub
mit the following observations :—
1. It is stated that the present sup
ply of 605,000 gallons of water per 24
hours (accepting Mr. Tillson's figures)
is just about equal to the total demand
in a dry season, but it cannot be ob
tained during the summer months. The
population of Tillsonbug is about 3300
therefore, is equal to at least 188 gal
lons per head daily. The industrial
use of water is relatively small and the
domestic consumption must be very
high. In fact, it is evident that it is
over twice what it should be. It ap
pears to be about the same io'Spring.
Winter. Autumq, and Summer, which
is an unusual condition. The
abnormal use of water has the effect
of reducing the pressure and costing
more per consumer.
If, and when additional supply of
water is required, it can be obtained
at reasonable cost, without resorting
to deep wells in the geological formations referred to. 1
2. Whether the Waterworks
owned by the Company or by
municipality, the quality of the water
must be above suspicion. There is no
doubt that the supply from shallow
trenches on Annandale Farm, subject
as they arc to the farmers rights to
tillage and fertilizing, would inquire
serious consideration. The Provincial
Board of Health would sooner or later
require this water to be chlorinated at
least as a measure of precaution. The
situation on Annandale Farm a with
respect to volume and quality of water,
impelled us'to recommend the release
of the Farm. It is reputed, that the
supply from wells V and K constitute
the larger portion of the water in
cluded under the name of Annandale
Farm, and these wells are retained by
the Town.3. The price offered by the Town for
the Waterworks and agreed to by the
Company, was arrived at, after making
due allowance for the condition of the
watermains. The Company’s En
gineers. however, edntended that most
of the mains were in reasonably good
condition. It is now asserted that some
should be relaid as they have become
too small or worn out, which confirms
our anticpations. The pressure in parts
of the Town is inadequate and the
most effectual way of putting the
system into order, is for the munici
pality to assume control. _

Tillson's estimates (or the improve
ments and extensions, which he con
siders necessary, the total cost will be

the
It wasn't much of a job to be sure—
carrying coeds of wood up a narrow
flight of stairs and stacking it for use
near the long, narrow box stove which
held sway as the centtal heating unit
for the plant. Harry performed his
job so well that it was but another
step to that of printer’s devil at $2 a
week. Even this was a munificent
salary as most of the boys received
only $1.50 per week, but labor must
have been scarce for he had little
trouble in getting the sum he asked.
Two years previous to this his
brother commenced wwk with the op
position paper, the Ingersoll Chronicle,
under thd late J. G. Gurnett. He was
not the bargainer Harry was for he
received but $1.50 in return for his 10
hours a day, including all day Satur
days.
Upon completion of over six years’
service, Harry decided that distant
fields looked greener and so he left
with his parents and other members of
the family for England. Here, he
found printers a drug on the market
and for three months he was night
watchman foe a big cartage com

He was anxious to pick up his rule
again, however, and at the end of the
three months he returned to Canada
and on to Ingersoll where he was
given a-good reception and a job at
$6 a week.
Very often printers were forced to
go two or three weeks on $2 or $3 and
take the rest out in dry goods, pro

Increase required IS per cent
In 1926 and 1927, the Company stat
ed that an increase of not less than «_»
per cent was ncccsary to give them 7
per cent net return on the investment.
As the Company will extend or im
prove. or otherwise spend more capi
tal they would with equity require
more revenue, as clearly explained in
the letter of April 19th. 1926.
If the Municipality has possession
of the plant, the ratepayers will be
paying an advance on the water rates
and own an asset, of value, whilst if
the plant remains in possession of the
Company, the ratepayers will have to
pay a greater advance in the rates and
have nothing to show for it.
5. The Company stated in 1927 that
the depreciated value of the Water
works was $185,411.80. Their En
gineers declared at the Arbitration
Court that it was $15071844. The
price agreed U|>o«i vias $100,COO. It is
nbw asserted that the Company "will
neither lose or gain by the result"
which seems somewhat anomalous.
6 It is interesting to note that. Mr.
E. V’. Tillson commenced his letter to
the Tillsonburg News by explaining
that he was writing from the point of
view of a shareholder and the presi
dent of the E. D. Tillson Estate Ltd.,
and terminates it in the last paragraph
as a Shareholder of the Waterworks
Company, and in this dual capacity
claims to give a thoroughly unbiased
opinion on the effect of the proposed
purchase of the Waterworks on the
ratepayers at large.
With a long experience of Municipal

In Memoriam
CORNELL—In loving memory of my
dear husband, Rowen Cornell, who passed away one year ago, Aug. 21,
Death often comes to make us know
We love more dearly than we show;
But love in death should make us see
What love in life should always be.
We miss him when we need a friend.
On him we always could depend
by wining hands will toil no more.

The contents of the book have been
standardized throughout and the alpha
betical arrangement makes the infor
mation contained therein easily accessible. In the introduction, the point is
made that there are 4.300 self-govern
ing communities in Canada with 50.000
officials engaged in conducting the
affairs of these many cities, towns and
villages. It comes as a surprise that
there are so many individual urban and
rural communities and there is un
doubtedly great credit due to the edi
tor. Mr. H. Wisely Bragg, for the ex
cellent manner in which this vast
amount of material has been collected
together, and so carefully classified.The contents of the book arc so ar
ranged as to give municipal men the
most comparative information and can
not fail to be of the greatest assistance
to elected and appointed officials.

In an interesting letter recently re
ceived from Mr. W. R. Buckberrough,
son of Mr*. H. Buckberrough, who for
some time has been a resident of Ja
pan, he enclosed a clipping of a group
picture, in which appear* Me**rs.
Mears -and Collyer, flying partners, Mr.
Burgher, secretary of the Embassy,
Mr. Araki, the recently returned
Japanese world traveller, and Mr.
Buckberrough. The picture wa* taken
in the sunken garden of the Imperial
Hotel, one of the most quaint and
colorful hotel* in existence. "Inciden-
tly," the writer remarks, “I may men
tion that Canada plays a leading part
in fostering good relations, the Can
adian Pacific having a hand in many
activities of this nature. We always
carry, these record breaking travellers
without exception, possessing as we do
the largest, finest and fastest steam
er* on the Pacific, which is a revela
tion in itself.
Although I have been away from
home for the be*t part of fifteen
year*, ten of which have been *pent in
the Far East, I always look forward
with pleasure to the receipt of my
paper, and in thi* way keep in close
touch with events.
Among the various items which es
pecially appeal to me are the activi
ties sponsored by the local board of
trade, which keep* the "best town in
Canada before the public, and has
though it’* untiring effort* brought to
the town some outstanding industries
without which no community can
prosper. Another worthy cause which
1 cannot overlook mentioning is the
"Lions Club" which ha* been instru
mental in creating that good fellow
ship atmosphere in the town, to say
nothing of their diversified activite*
looking to the welfare of the town
and community.
While on the subject of good fellow
ship, it is noteworthly of mention
that.it is today becoming a world-wide
slogan, being *pon*ored a* it is by the
League of Nations, closely followed
by such organization* as the Lions,
Rotary and international societies. It
is especially evident in thi* country,
where such societies as the British-
Japan Society, with the Honorary
President recently appointed in the
person of Prince Chicibu, brother of
the present Emperor of Japan, and
heir apparent to the throne. The
American-Japan Society headed iy
Prince Tokugawa, a former Shogun,
is also another outstanding example
of good fellowship, and practically all
nations arc beginning to realize the im
portance of these societies,, brining as
they do individual* together for closer
contact and understanding. I had the
plq^sure yesterday of participating in
an enjoyable meeting of the latest
Japanese world traveller, Mr. T. Araki
and Mr. John Mears of New York, the
latter completing a record trip around
the world. These world trips, H they
accomplish nothing else tend to
further good fellowship, as without
tint all important factor, co-operation
and fellowship, they could no be
accomplished.

All things, they say. have an end, and

cut his grain and thrc*h it, and thus
quickly perform at low cost and with
a minimum of labor one of the biggest
and most important undertakings on
the farm where *mall grain is grown
in sizable acreage.
Previously harvester-threshers have
.only -been used where grain ripened
evenly. Where grain ripens unevenly
or quantities of green weed* are
present at the time of harvest, how
ever. the difficulties of harvesting the
straight combine way arc consider
ably increased. It is difficult to separ
ate some kind* of green weeds from
the grain. The presence of piece* of
green weed, green weed seed, or un- ripened grain in the threshed grain
increases the moisture content and
tend* to cause heating in storage un
less grain it stored in specially* ven
tilated bins or drying artificially i*
restored to. This new windrow
method of harve*ting in connection
with the use of the harvester-thresher
equipped with pick up device enables
the operator to get away from- these
difficulties and at the tame time "rash

Dear Comrade*:—J ust a few lines to
let you know wc have not forgotten
you. although we are over 8,000 miles
away. You will not be able to send u»
a goo*e now, for all thing* have to be
sent in sealed tins. We never forget
your kindness to us and wc feel sure
the Lord will pay you. This is a real
heathen land; it is a real treat to see a
white person, for they are very few
There are over one million people in
Lagos, and we are five miles from the
city, but it just seems as if wc were just
on the border of the dty. Down the
streets seem one continual market- women and men with loads upon their
heads, one would wonder almo*t how
they could carry so much. The women
have a large load on their head and a
baby tied upon their back. There are
many children without any clothe* and
some of the adult* have very little.
There it a leper colony right near to
our place, and the leper* sit on the
street* and beg. They *eem to just
long to know Jesus. We had a meet
ing and forty came out for conversion.
Wc had an open air meeting with our
boys, of which there are thirty-six, and
had it in the yard, and there were eight
kneeling at the fence seeking Jesu*.
Even the people that bring the cats to
the home get converted there. I wish
you could *ce our place and hear our
boys say how they thank God for
ever bringing them here. We are in
charge and have the boy* to do the
work. They learn carpentering and farming, and wc have a school teacher.
There arc also a lieutenant and two
other men to help, *o we have over
forty here. There is plenty of work
and plenty of noise. But wc like our
work fine, although thi* i* called the
white man'* grave, and wc feel it is
so. Wc have been ju*t as well in health
as wc were in Canada. It is hot, but it
is the dampnes* that seem* la make
one’s bone* feel different. Wc love
our work and love the people, for we
feel sure it i* the place God want* u»
to be in. The food is different, but we
do not mind it. We have to use a lot
of canned goods. There are pineapple*,
bananas, oranges, peanut* and lime*
grown here. Ju»t think,.wc can buy
orange* six for two cent*. Al*o we
have the plant you have in the house in
Canada, called prickly pear, but we get
the fruit from it here. There are many
palm trees here, and lots of cannas.
The letter* just take five week* to go
to Canada, and we were 28 days com
ing here. That time doe* not allow for
any wailing for boats in England, a*
we left Canada the 9th of March from St. John, and Chatham the 7th ol

fields of wheat, oats, barley and other
crops, at the rate of thirty-five to forty
acres in a day of ten hour*.
The condition of such crop* *hould
a* good as for a common binder.
This was made possible by a new
machine purchased a few- week* ago
by Mr. Leigh Wilcox, a hamster
thresher, which a representative of
The News had the good fortune to
see in full operation last Tuesday
morning. The new method of curing
small grains in windrow* and then
threshing it by Harvester-Thresher, or

Mail Couriers Seek Increase
Rural mail services in Canada are
steadily increasing. A maximum of
3800 rural routes ha* now been reach
ed, this representing an increase of
about 400 compared with a year ago.
The mott notable development it in
the Western provinces, more demands
coming from there than from any
other part, although all the petitions,
when allowed arc not backed up by
the necessary subscription of $4 for
delivery boxes.
A petition i* being forwarded to the
post office deepartment asking that
rural mail contractor* serving both the
po*t offices and the rural delivery

windrow from underneath and thus
facilate the curing of the grain and
the drying of any green weed* that
may be mixed in with the cut grain.
Curing the grain in the windrow

two to four days of good drying
weather being sufficient to accomplish
this.
A somewhat unique situation in this
affair i* that Leigh Wilcox the pro

and owner of the great invention is on
his mother’* side, a great, great, great
grandson of the man who swung the
axe that felled the tree that gave him
enduring fame. On his father's side he
is a great, great, great grandson

Adenoids
Health Service of the Canadian Medi
cal Association.
During the summer months, the
symptoms caused by adenoids are not
as noticeable as in winter. They are
referred to now because this is an
opportune time for having them at
tended to.
Adenoids arc tumour-like growths
that develop in the passage between
the nose and throat. Very young chil
dren may have adenoid*. The marjor-
ity of case* occur in children from
eighteen month* to six years of age.
The presence of adenoids usually
causes what is apparently a chronic
cold in the head, with a great deal of
discharge from the nose. The*e symptoms, with snuffles, occur daring the
winter season. Cough is frequently
associated with the condition.
If the growth* are large, the child
will be a mouth-breather, breathing
through the mouth day and night, be
cause the natural breathing space
through the nose is blocked. Thi*
gives rise to snoring.
In advance cases, the child has a
characteristic appearance of the face.
The open mouth give* a stupid expres
sion, the nostrils are *mall and pinch
ed. the upper lip is thickened. The
voice may have a nasal twang. The
hearing may be impaired. Bed-wet
ting may be part of the symptoms.
Complete removal is the only treat
ment for adenoid* of any severity.
Parent* who have been advised by
their physician to have an adenoid
condition corrected in their child
should do so. Parent* of children who
show evidence of adenoids, as de
scribed. should have the children ex
amined to find out the condition. The
treatment of sGch a condition is ad
vised became it interferes with the
normal development of the child,
lowers his level of physical fitness and,
if severe, results in a permanent de-*
formity of the mouth and face.
Questions concerning Health, ad

Blaze in Norwich Church
Norwich, Aug. 18.—The Norwich
United church building had a narrow
escape from destruction by fire when
a blaze got under way in the wood
and coal storage section in the north
east comer. Discovery and prompt
response by the fire brigade resulted in
the flames being extinguished after
only slight damage had been done. Re
flection of flames on the driving shed
about 9:45 on Wednesday evening
caused Charles Kendrick, of Clyde
street, who wa* passing, to investigate
and to give the alarm. Prayer meeting
wa* held the same evening and thbse
in attendance had been gone but a
short time when the fire started. Had
the blaze been a few hour* later it
would have made much headway be
fore discovery and the fine building
would probably have been destroyed.

“Wc might economize time by going
in opposite directions, and meeting at

“Mrs. Gordon will be much distressed

Florence looked surprised, but offer

“He is not so eager for my society

leave her at the gate oi Gordon

Dehydrating Canadian Fruit
The process oi dehydration as
apj’lied to fruit may be used to save
from waste many of the orchard and
garden crops. Canada imports more
than five million dollars worth of dried
I fruits each year including apples, apri-
jeots. currants, and peaches.. besides I the tropical fruit- which we cannot
grow. The Dcparmeni of Agriculture
at Ottawa ha* conducted investiga
tions covering a period oi several
year- to find ou: among other things,
whether fruit dehydrated in Canada
can take the place of imported good*
oi the same class. In the reports of
the committee in charge of this work
it is clearly brought out by the excel
lence ot the fruit dehydrated at the
stations in British Columbia and
Ontario, that when fruit of good qual
ity is used a thoroughly fine market
able product result*. It was discover
ed that dehydrated fruit when prop
erly soaked refreshes almost to the
original fresh weight. It was made
equally clear that a good product
cannot be made from fruit of in
ferior quality. Dehydration differs
from what is generally known as
evaporation in that the process is diff
erent and there is more moisture left
in the stock. The report of the com
