lan. The Clerk stated that the first duty

of the Council was the election of a W*arden, the honor going to Dundas County this year.

Messrs. Glenn A. Sliaver and J, W. Connors moved that the election of a Warden be by open vote and in the manner laid down by rule 6 of the standing rules of ''Council.' Carried.

Five minutes were allowed for the receiving of nominations.

Dr. J. Howard Mirnro, Reeve, of Maxville, asked that the limit be not strictly adhered to, as he had a gentleman in view whom ihe wished tb place in nomination and he would like to refer to his qualifications. Other members might have some, one to propose as well. Dr. Munfo congratulated the members on their election and hop ed the relations would cement old and make new frieàdsüps'. which would result in hatmcujy^.ftnd benefit. This year the Wardensfifp went to Dundas

^ County. There was a superabundance of good material in the Dundas representation, but unfortunately they eouM only select one man, and as'the Vil- lage of Iroquois had only had the Wardenship once since 1863, he took much pleasure in nominating Mr. Ed. Strader, Reeve of that village. Mr

Strader, he , said, possessed the digni- ty of a gentleman in a marked degree His abmry and energy was given prac- tical evidence lasi year as chairman of the finance commuiee. His ability in ibis home town must aiso be recognized, as he-<^6 through the recent -election sdftie of lus old Counci* fell by the -wi^yside. With all these qUalifkationajÊ^ Munro felt Mr. Stra- der would prove-a fit ana proper person to fill the Warden s chair, and he t-ook great pleasure in nominating him.

Mr. J. E. Crowder, Reeve of Mount- tain To-wnship, in seconding the nomination of Mr. Strader, stated that as Mr. Strader was now in his fourth year as Reeve of Iroquois his experience

"as such made him equal to the duties of the Wardenship.

As there were no further names proposed, the Clerk declared Mr. Strader

elected Warden by acclamation, and he was escorted to the chair by his mover and seconder, amid applause.

Warden Strader said he felt deeply grateful for the honor conferred on him and thanked the members on b.»- half of the people of Iroquois and himself. He had served under three dis- tinguished Wardens and he referred to the good fellowship, courtesy and absence of inter-county strife which had always existed among the member'.. There had been' some spirited discus- sions, and close dimensions but he could not recollect when di'fiferenees were not forgotten, and that spirit of good will was what made members desire to come back. He oniv hoped that in a small way he would be able to measure u pto his predecessors in office. He assured the members that if ‘hard, earnest work on his part, with the assistance of the members would make the 1930 Council as successful as previous ones, he would not be found lacking in his efforts. It was an honor to represent the people of these counties—the greatest union in the Province—and he knew of no se«:- tion in the whole of Canada more de sirable as a place of residence. So .is and daughters of these counties had made their mark in the world. The session was likely to be a heavy one and if the committees would get at their work as early as possible it would avoid crowding on the last day. Mr. S'tradjcir again heartily thanked the members for the honor conferred on him in his unanimous election to the Warden’,^ chair.

The Council adjourned for five minutes to allow the Warden to take, his declaration of office.

On resuming, Messrs. Hamilton and Nesbitt moved that the minutes of the last day of the October session, being printed and distributed, be taken as read, and signed by the Warden aiivi Cletk. Carçied^.^-^

The Clerk read a list of thirty-fivt? communications, .received since the last, -motion of Messrs.^ D. S. McIntosh and D. A. McRae, these w^re referred to the committees to which they belong.

Messrs. Hamilton and Johnston moved that the Beeves be a special committee to s>trike the standing committees for the year and report to Council at the present sitting.

Mr. Glenn A. Shaver read the report of the debenture committee, in which it wae stated that the debentures of the counties were sold to Gairdner & Co. at 98.177. The report was adopted.

The report of last yearns Board of Management of the House of Industry and Refuge was read by the Clerk. The report went into detail as to equipment of the building and farm, etc. Since the institution was opened 355 inmates were cared for, there being at present 58 males and 36 females there- in. The report was adopted.

Mr. W. H. Gallinger, Reeve of Corn- wall, and Dr. J. Howard Munro, Reeve of Maxville, moved a resolution of condolence on the death of Sheriff Mack, a copy of which wa^ ordered t'> be inscribed in the minutes of Coun- cil and A copy forwarded to Mrs. Mack and family, expressing appreciation of the Sheriff’s many fine qualities and deep .sympathy with the bereaved. The resolution was carried by a standing vote.

On motion of Messrs. BrVan and Mc- Intosh, Council adjourne'd to the call of the chair to allow the special committee to meet and strike the standing committees, for the ycat and report to Council.

When the committee completed icS duties the report presented to Coun- cil gave the following as the standing committees for hhe year:—

Appointed Postmaster Of llexandria

MR. PROCULE POIRIER P.M.

^ On Thursday, Mr. Procule Poirier, of this place, .recently appointed Poit Master of Alexandria, assumed his new duties, and is since receiving the con gratulations of fellow citizens.

Mr. Poirier is a son of the late Mr. Noel Poirier and Mrs. Poirier n)w of Montreal ,and was born at Glen Nor- man, in 1892. He received his education in the Public and High School, and when the family moved to Alex- andria, in 1909, lie entered the em ploy of Mr. R. H. Cowu’i. Hardware Merchant, witli whom he remained for five years, later serving with Mr. A. Chenier, in a like capacity. In 1926, he joined the staff of P. A. Lefebvre & Co. Limited, as one of the executive, serving continuously till his present appointment.

On Sept. 11th, 1916, Mr. Poirier en- listed with the 74th Battery C.F.A, C:E.F. and sailed for England in Janu- ary following. After two months further training at Shorncliffe, he pro ceeded to France, and there 'oined the 1st Canadian Siege Battery C.E.F. and on Sept. 26th, 1918, was wounded ac

lOgnal dll .Foxd. In..., all he.^ .sei^ved tw'enty-one months in Prance, sixteen of ■which were spent in the firing line. He was demobilized on May 11th, 1919 at Mbntreal.

Mr. Poirier needs no introdui^tion to the citizens of Alexandria and vicinity possessing as he does, a pleasing ad dress, and a courteous manner that should serve him well in the new' of- fiee^ that has come to him.

^ Hockey News On Tuesday, January Ôth, Lancas-

ter crossed sticks with Alexandria on local ice and were beaten by a score of 5—0. The game was refereed by Wm. Brady, Jr., of Lancaster and well handled, only a few minor penal ties being handed out, for game was ver^ clean.. Lancaster goalie Cholette had the. misfortune of-breaking a finger on left hand at beginning of second period.

On Wednesday evening Alexandria team journeyed to Martintown and in one of the fastest' and best games seen on that ice in years won by a scor3 of 6—4. Gordon Keir of Martintowrn refereed.

Tonight, Friday, Williamstown meet Alexandria here and as Williamstown has to win to secure a place in play- off it promises to be a good game.

Ihe McDoupald Bridge Montreal is in the throes of a con

troversy over a suitable name for the new bridge connecting Montreal with the south shore municipalities of Lon- gueui'l and St. Lambert, an admirablfc enterprise recently carried to eomp’e- tion by the Àîontreal Harbor Commis- sion. There is little, perhaps» in a name, but since the matter is regarded as important in Montreal, then why not the McDougald Bridge? It waS Senator McDougald who, after all, as chaii'bor of the Montreal Harbor Com- mission, whicli was entrusted with the building of this bridge, brought it to such a speedy and successful comple- tion. Ont of the most imposing highway bridge structures in the world, costing $11,500,000, there was never a hitch in its construction; and this, by general acknowledgment, was in large measure due to the executive ability and organizing power of Senator Mc- Dougald, In the circumstances, tiio adoption of the name of the McDou- gald Bridge would seem to be butfH- thig tribute to the man whose energy and foresight helped to make it possible.—Ottawaa Journal.

A Burns' Night in ^ Alexander Hall

The celebration of the 171st anniversary of the birth of Robert Burns, Scotland’é national poet, under the auspices-of the Highland Society cf Glengarry, which under ordinary cir- cumstance would have taken place on January 25th, but towing to other attractions was postponed till Monday evening of this week, brought together an inspiring and enthusiastic audien.jc from the four sections of . the county.

The initial number on the programme was A Grand March by pipers and drummers and the mere mention of their names is a guarantee of the high standard of the music furnished. Tliev' were pipers A. D. McDonald, J. A. Stewart, Meinnes. Kippeu and Rf.y McDonald, -drummers P. Lauzon and J. McKinnon.

^ The chairman of the evening, Rev D. M. Macleod, then welcomed those present and in very appropriate tern.s referred to the great anniversary they were celebrating. He then introduce J Professor J. Anderson of Montreal, the lecturer of the evening. In an ex- haustive address Mr .Anderson compte hensively traced the life of Burns— a boy of fifteen doing the work of a man at the plow, penning his first poem to Nellie Kilpatrick, showing his tender heart and rich humor, his un- daunted courage and steadfast fait.h, he giving expression to the thoughts, the feelings and the aspirations of the Scottish peasantry in an age when such was needed and when it required great courage to voice it. The envir- onment and everyday life of his time was depicted and finally his premature death at the age of thirty-seven. At stated intervals during the lecture, a quintet composed of Mre. J. T. Hope. Mrs. D. N. MacRae, Miss Evelyn Mac- Rae and Messrs. "W ,W. Dean and Ar nold Weir, with Miss Marie McLeister at the piano, sang several of Burns’ compositions, while Mise Carrie Big- gers and Miss Eva "Watt, Montreal, danced "several Highland dances.

Violin selections by J. R. McDonald. North Lancaster, with Miss C. McDon- ald, at the j)iapo, _^^ç.çidedly tKe fancy of young and old, to whi'ri. they generously ifesponded.

An impromptu dance followed and upwards of seventy-five couple stayed •on and danced to the invigorating music supplied by Mr. J .R. McDonald and Miss McDonald, who were never heard to better advantage.

Appeal Allowed in Important Will Case

On the 1st. cf December, 1928, be fore the late. Judge O’Reilly was tried in Cornwall an important w'ill case in w'liich Mr .and Mrs. Joseph Lefebvre

■of this town were plaintiffs aud Messrs. Henri and Willioni Major were defendants. The action was in connection with the will of Alexander Z. Pigeon,, late of this town^ a brother of Mrs. Lefebvre and who was found dead in his house 'in Alexandria on the 29th of May of that year. The deceasjd had in February 1924, shortly before leaving British Columbia to come back east after an absence of over 40 years, made his will leaving all his property to his only living sister, Mrs. Lefebvre, but this will which had later been sent to the deceased at Alexandria, could not be found after his death and the legal presumption arose that the will ha-d been destroyed by tlie testator in his life time. Thé contents of the will were known; its execution was proved by evideaice taken in Vancouver. The late Surrogate Court Judge held that this presumption had been rebutted by the evidence given at the trial and that probate of tlie will should be granted. The defendants ' appealed from this decision to the Appelate Division of the Supreme Court of On- tario and the appeal was heard on the 18tli and 19th of February last by Chief Justice Latchford aud Mr. Jus- tice Riddell, Mr, Justice Masten, Mr. Justice Orde and Mr, Justice Fisher, and the judgment of thé Surrogate Court Judge vi-as reversed and set aside, the Chief Justice and Mr. Jus- tice Orde dissenting. An appeal from this judgment was taken to the Su- preme Court of Canada apd judgme.it was rendered last Tuesday, the five Judges unanimously allowing the appeal. aud restoring the judgment of the late Judge O’Reilly.

Mr. P. T. Costello represented the defendants in the Cornwall Court and Mr. Davis, K.C., of Toronto, in the Toronto and Ottawa Courts and Mr. Osias Sauve represented the plaintiffs in the three Courts.

MacKenzie King’s Work Is Eulogized (The Gazette, Montreal)

“If Macdonald had a leading pa:'t in the creation of the Canadian Con- federation and Laurier in completing its structure to include all Canada, to M.acKenzie King’s lot has fallen the task of dealing with its larger inter- pretations, to Tobuild, so to «peak, tills magnificent political enterprise in a spirit of eoueilation and co-operation,” declared Senator Andrew Hayden K.C., of Ottawa, guest of honor and speaker at the weekly luncheon of the Reform Club of Montreal on Saturday, speak- ing on the subject of “Mackenzie King and Liberal Policies.”

After expressing in French his ple.v sure at coming back before the men- bers of the club, he continued in En- glish, establishing some of the funda- mental principles laid down by Lord Durliam in his famous report of 1840, “that the greatness and continuity of Empire was based on freedom and equality.”^ Many years later ,another student of history, Sir Wilfrid Laurier, stood all through his life for unity and freedom within this country and equality in our external relations asrthc only sure foundation upon which Canada’s life in tlie British Commonwealth can possibly endure.

RT. HON. W. L. MACKENZIE KING

Passing on from these preliminary remarks to the subject mater of his speech, Senator Haydon recalled tê fact that the choice of Mackenzie King as the new leader was not any too well received. The Tories, saw in him “just a futile despicable thing” while many of the Liberals were far from enthusiastic. “Regardless of critics,” said the senator, “Mackçnzm King went cheerfully into the task cf recreating a party that was broken by the war, divided by the incident of Union Government, and generally, except in French Canada, at the lowest possible ebb. The present Prime Minister, came to Ottawa as deputy minister of Labor and first ran as a candidate for the House of Com- mons iu 1908, after his appointment as Minister of Labor. In his capacity as deputy minister, he had much to do with the settling of industrial disputes all over Canada. Some of the cases submitted for his consider- afion were of particular importance. His training, therefore led him into the path of conciliation and arbitra- tion and the achievements of the past ten years of his leadership will rank him among the greatest of our public men.

“ During, the autumn of 1919, in the course of a trip throughout the western provinces, Mackenzie King di.s- eovered that war prevented younger mi»ids getting properly /lequainted with hospital questions and us is generally the case following great con- flicts, he found traces of a sharp rc>- actionary movement. It was also found out that a large number of people radically or liberally inclined were opposed to the common enemy then holding office at Ottawa.

FACTION’S EECOîiciLED Against these reactionary force.*,

leading towards autocracy, Mac- kenzie King set hH?iself aud his party to restore {representative government, which the wai had serious'y impaired; to extend a friendly hand to link up all those of whatever name opposed to Toryism; to propose the formation of a. Government representative of all elements and all provinces, and following the successful elections of 1921, he offered the Progressives the inclusion of one or two of their most prominent men in the cabinet request- ing at least -their co-operation—bearing fruits in later years “and justly ending in the entry into the Govern ment of the old-time progressive leader, Hon. T. A. Crerar.”

Not satisfied with rebuilding his party, went on Senator Haydon, Mac-

Kenzie King, since ’1921, has worked consistently towards bringing together the farming interests of the west am the manufacturing elements of the ea-i:. To the western elements he\gave freer access to the sea, by ithe constructica. of Hudson’s Bay Railway; in order to promote the interests of the manufae- turers, he evolved a i)oUcy of freer trade, concluding no less than ten agreements with important nations anxious to do business with Canada. To the Maritime Provinces, which claimed that they could not keep pace with the development and rapidly increasing progress of the prairies, ho offered readjustments which will c:i- abl-e them to share equally in the progress of Canada.

LAURIER^S ATTITUDE. Referring to Sir Wilfrid Laurier’s

attitude with regard to Imperial re-- lations ,the speaker said, in the words of a western journalist; “ ‘To Cham- berlain’s proposal in 1897 to create a great council of the Empire Laurier answered “No”; to the proposal made at the same tim*e for a Canadian mone- tary contribution to the navy, “No”; to others of a like tenor urged by Ciiamberlain in 1902 “No”; to th<i Pollock-Littleton suggestion of a council of advice for an Imperial council, “No”’; and concluding a fuller re- cital of Sir Wilfrid’s constant stanJ for Canada’s freedom, the same writer declared: ‘For his services in holding their futures open for them, eve’y British Dominion owes to the memory of Laurier a statue In its Parliament square.’ ”

Following iu the footsteps of these remajkable leaders, Mackenzie King arranged for one of his min'isters to sign the Halibust Treaty with the United States in 1923 and appointed ministers plenipotentiary at Washing- ton, Tokio aud Paris. “This evolu- tion towards equality has not in any sense weakened the unity of the Em- pire.” said Senator Haydon. Senator Raoxll Dandurand, K.C., Gov- ernnrent leader in the Senate offered thanks»to his colleague and added hia tribute to the work of the Prime Min- ister.

In the absence of Dr. Milton Her- sey, president of the club, F. A. Monk, K. C., first vice-president, introduced the speaker. Those at the head table included Hon. Andrew Haydon, K.C. Hon. Raoul Dandurand; Hon. Fernand Riufret, secretary of State; Hon A.R. MacMaster, K.C., Provincial Treasurer; Pierre F. Casgraiu, chief Liberal whip; C. E. Ferland, M.P.; Jos. A. Mercier, MP.; J. A, A, Leclair; W. C. Munn; Alfred LeganU; Victor Marchand, M. L. A.j Dr. -Gustave Lemieux, M.L.À., and Aid. Maurice Gabials. —0

Ex-Clengarrian Passes Away in California

It is with deep sorrow we announce the death of one of Glengarry’® sons in the person of Duncan John McMillan who died on January 17th, in Los An-' geles, California, formerly of the 3rd concession of Kenyon, Alexandria and the 5th of Kenyon. Greenfield. Mr. McMillan and his wife spent paat year in Los Angeles, with Mrs. Me • Millan’s daughters. | . ' The deceased enjoyed the beauty of

the southland with its wonderfuî sunshine and flowers, but suffered a heart attack and although several doctors attended him, was given no en- couragement. He received every! care his wife and daughters being constantly iu attendance-, his only and last wish beiug that they might be with hW. at the last/which .he granted. H3 received the last rites, of. the Church from Father O’Shea just two hours before his passing and was conscious to the end.

The funeial took place to St. Thomas Church where Requiem High Mass was sung by Father O’Shea ami interment was made in Calvary cemetery. The pallbearers were h4s' three sons-iu-law and his grandson, also Mr. J. A. McDonald, formerly of Glengarry, now of Los Angeles. Deep sympathy g(Xis out to his "uddow and her children.

The late Mr. McMillan was a man of sterling worth and Christian char- acter. He bore his last illness with wonderful fortitude. Although only in California for a compartively brief period ,lîs many fine qualities and kiudly disposition drew to him num erous friends who miss him/'as skeenly as though tiieir’s -had been a life time association. He was an unselfish and devoted husband, a true and loyal frieud, a reverent and faithful son of the Church and it can be^ truthfully said of him he Uv-ed and died one of nature’s noblemen, aud thus Duncan McMillan forever passes from the keii of mortal man.

HOW TO HANDLE PACKAGE BEES

Release the bees from eustoms as soon as they arrive, but before accepting them examine the shipment carefully and note condition of the bees. If any of the packages are dead or seriously weakened, get the express agent to sign, a statement to that effect, othei»wise, it will be impossible do get such losses .replaced. As soon as the shipment is .received, take the bees home and paint the screening of each package with a- thin sugar syrup or water and stand them in a cool, shady place until late afternoon or (evening. While the beese are rèsting pré- pare the hives to recive them. Into each hive and to one side of it, place five drawn combs, one or more of which should contain honey and polen. If drawn combs are not available, full Sheets of foundation may be used. The hive entrances should be reduced to about one inch in length. The hives all ready, distribute the packages alongside the hives to' which they are to be inroduced, then starting with one of the packages, first remove the feeder can, and take from the package the small cage containing the queen. Remove the .covering from the candy hole of this cage and push a nail through the candy ,taking care not to injure the queen. Place this cage between the frames in tlie hive and shake a few of the bees from the package onto the frames. Now place the package, upside down, in the hive alongside the combs, putting a small block of wood under one end of it so that the bees may escape onto the combs. Close the hive and proceed until all are released. The empty packages may be removed the following morning and the hives filled with combs or foundation. Do not examine the bees for at least seven days, otherwise the queens may be killed. It is permissible, how-

SOME FACTORS WHICH INFLUENCE THE HATCH; THE BREEDING STOCK

The'factor of primary importance in the de- termination of the quality of the hatch is the vitalit}' and condition of the breeding stock. The impor anee of this factor should not be overlooked. Un- der present conditions of intensive breeding for egg production the vitality factor is continually being placed as of secondary importanct to pedigree. Apart from native vitality- of stock the breeders

Winter Care of Pigs The main factors in the successful rearing of

pigs during the winter months are : 1. Early litters. Pigs intended for winter

feeding .should be farrowed not later than the month of September. This gives them time for a good start before cold weather.

2. Clean yard. A good clover field or yard with clover sod is ideal for them to run in. .Avoid âll old yards and wallows.

3. Clean and dry sleeping quarters. These should he eiitirely free from draughts, but provided with ventilation.

, 4. Suitable rations. From weaning until four months of age ,the following ration will be satisfactory r 200 pounds of finely ground oats, 200 pounds of middlings, 50 pounds of wheat bran, 50 pounds of barley or corn, 15 pounds each of linseed oil meal and tankage, 5 pounds of bone char and 3 pounds of salt. This should always be fed as a warm slop

must be handled in such a way as to maintain body buttermilk. As the pigs condition at its highest peak. It is usually wise increase the proportion of barley or corn. give them a rest prior to the breeding season. At any rate they should not be forced into rapid production before their eggs are need for incuba- tion pi^rposes. During the past five years on the Experimental 'Farm pystem superior hatchability his been obtained from hens than from pullets, I without exception. Livability of chicks, however, has been approximately equal from both classes. It 'is suggested that if pullets must be used for breeding purposes they should he early hatched.

Be very careful not to overfeed ; every meal should be all cleaned up quickly and more looked for. A supply of alfalfa or clover hay should be on hand at all times, and a few mangels or apples given daily. Keep all pens clean and supply drinking water each day.

The Scrub Bull In a recent address on the scrub bull and its

oreeamg'purposes Xiiey suuuiu ue eaiiy natyiw., dairy industry, W. E. Thompson, pro well matured and Vigorous. An added Çonsidera-, Breeders’ Association,

claimed that a scrub sire was a liability to the tion is the fact that culling of pullet hatched stock is usually severe since many of their dams fail to live up to expectations in making a suitable first year egg record ,and there is consequently no profit in rearing their progeny.

The proper feeding of breeders is important since either the egg or the bird’s body will lack any element which is essential to reproduction hut which has not been supplied in the feed. A properly balanced breeding ration should ordinarily contain scratch, mash -green feed, grit, shell char- coal and plenty of fresh water. Experiments over the farm system have shown that certain vitamin supplements improve hatchability. Among these cod liver oil was most efficient and should be contained ■in the Inash at the rate of two per cent by weight prior to and during the breeding season. PVesh green feeds should be fed when available, and of these eabhage is one of the best. Good quality alfalfa Jeaf meal makes a nexeellent .substitute for fresh green feed and may be mixed in the mash up to fifteen per cent by weight. Mangels make a good source of suculent feed as a supplement to alfalfa leaf meal. Other feeds of high fibre content such as oat and barley products and wheat bran should be cut down in amount if present, to reduce fibre when alfalfa meal is fed—H. S. GIJTTE- RIDGB, Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa, Ont.

breeder. The good Ipurehred sire was the logical one to

head a herd, since with a registered sire there are greater chances of getting results in the way of building up the herd than when a grade or inferior breed is used. The purebred has a long line of descent of the one breed. Mr. Thompson declared that a cow must give at least 6,000 pounds of milk to pay for her keep. Better breeding and better feeding are necessary to profitable returns in his opinion.

“Ontario Potatoes for Ontario People” is a slogan that is beginning to bear fruit.

tative for Canada in Great Britain who has been spending some months in Canada, addressing agricultural organizations and service clubs, empha- sizes the importance of a steady volume of export in order to hold the market. ’

The lim-it in consumption has by no means been reached, he declares. Canada’s position in the world is becoming increasingly dependent upon her ability to hold her ovm in world competition. In reference to Canada’s exports of agricultural produce Mr. AViilson points out that these have .shown a marked tendency to decrease in recent years. Un- less Canada can maintain a policy of supplying a reasonable volume for export to the British Isles, the inroads made by foreign competitors will become still more serious.

The greatest fireworks display of the year, the "Pete de Nuit" exhibi- tion at Quebec, recently, one of the features of the Winter Sports season which lasts until March, con-, •sisted of a'sham attack by-hundreds of snowshoers bearing torches, upon the garrison of the citadel. The heavy explosions ol Roman candles, bombs and rockets began the attack, which culminated when the besiegers were driven hack by the garrison, who sent volley after volley of blanks crashing into the night. When the bugles .sounded the "Cease Fire”, the show was generally voted one of the fin' est in years.

The outstanding contributions that the Canadian Pacific Railway has made to the life of the Domin- ion in an industrial and cultural way were emphasized by E. W.

It is interesting to note that while Ontario produces approximately one-third more potatoes than she consumes, the questionaire reveals that about one-half of all the late potatoes handled b ytlie dealers were grown outsidethe province. This in spite of the fact that the consumer has to pay an average premium for P.E.I. potatoes of 21 l-2e and for N.B, potatoes of 15 l-2e a hag. The dealers apportion the blame

DAIRYMEN Here^s the feed that Cows turn into Milk

“¥ HAVE found, by; actufd tests, that my cows give me a A worth-while profit for every dollar’s worth of Dried Brewers’ Grains I feed them," says one of the leading dairymen of the Eastern Townships.

"Formerly I fed bran and meal in addition to the usual roots, ensilage and hay. Now I use Dried Brewers’ Grains exclusively as my concentrated feed. These nutritious grains contain about all the Protein that a cow can easily turn into milk. The cows relish these grains and they help to keep the whole herd in good flesh. My records prove that Dried Brewers’ Grains not only increase the quantity of milk, hut also raise the butter fat content. Dried Brewers’ Grains give me much more Protein than I can get in the best Wheat Bran and Wheat Shorts, and cost no more.”

Dried Brewers’ Grains mean more milk and richer milk

The experience of this dairyman has been duplicated by hundreds of others, t^th in Canada and abroad. Huge quantities of these grains have been shipped to England, France, Holland and Bel- gium for many years. The famous breeders of Holsteins, Jerseys, Guernseys and Ayrshires depend on Dried Brewers’ Grains to keep up the milk flow of these prize cows and also keep their herds in good flesh through the winter months. Dried Brewers’ Grains, as supplied by Molson’s Brewery are the finest Canadian barley, from which the starch has been extracted. They contain the valuable Protein, Crude

Fat, Germ and Gluten — all the milk and flesh producing elements of the «ain. They contain at least 219» of Protein — almost as fnudi Protein as in the very expensive concentrated feeds and very much more Protein than you get in Bran. These grains are dried by special steam apparatus and will keep sweet and tasty throughout the winter.

THE ART OP DRESSING WELL

Home economies as regards clothing is a problem "which confronts the busy homemaker every day. It is a case of being on her job, having the best she can afford, but of not spending her money on a thing merely because it seems to be a bargain. One "writer sums up the question of dress thus; the level of health and decency in clothing is one "Which not only takes into account the physical needs of "warmth, cleanliness and comfort, but also has such regard for appearance and style as will per- mit the various members of the family to appear in public with neatness and self-respect.

Two fextremes are to be found; the one is the in- dividual who gives an undue amount of time to dress and often in that ease yve find extravagance and even \nilgarity ; then there is the extreme that considers spending money on dress is wrong, and is usually found wearing very inappropriate clothes on all occasions. Suitable clothing is a part of dig- nified personality, therefore, self-respect requires attention to dress. Clothing economy demands not only intelligent shopping or wise selection, but also care, oversight and repair, and the making over of garments ,for home sewing wijl'always re:^ain an important factor in economy. The question of" homemade clothing verses ready-made arises. The amount of time one has and the amount of money one can afford to spend determines whether the garments are to be made at home or not. Mothers sometimes find thy must choose between doing their, o"wn sewing, and being real companions to their children, which is a side of homemaking the busy mother does not want to overlook. For the companionship of parents and children strengthens home tie^.

For the woman who does her o"wn sewing, and for girls who wish for training along this line, short courses are most helpful. The Women’s In- stitutes are fortunate hi having demonstrators from Macdonald College who take charge of these short courses, wherever the institutes arrange them. A few ' suggestions on the art of dressing well might not be amiss. Make a complete list of clothes before buying anything, or, in other words, plan ahead until you know just what you want and then bujq and remember good taste brings "wonderful results. Wear the correct costume on the right occasion. Include a dark gown in your wardrobe. Study your age and dress accordingly. One hears the remark that women are ageless now, and we have certainly advanced from the day when a woman put on a bonnet the day she was married—but let us not carry it to the other exreme, for there is beauty in age, as well as in youth. Don’t forget to study your shortcomings, and dress so as to lessen them and not, accentuate them. Select your wardrote so as to b cable to wear it for a year or longer, avoiding extremes—^By Mrs. R. Roy, provincial convener of home economies, Quebec Wo- men ’s Institutes.

/ »■ e, "I 7 7* 1 "t: ' THE IMPORTAN’fîE OF

I read a modern fairy-tale the other day says Lady Ingram, in the Telegraph in which the wicked fairy for reveng®, steals away a baby prince’s sense of humor. So nobody loved him, and he nearly died of melancholy, but was saved in the nick of time by his fairy-godmother inventing a super-joke that even he could see it.

She must have been a clever old thing, for a child’s sense of humor is one of the most elusive things in creation. A profession children’s enter- tainer told m^ once that even after years of experience, just when he thought he had found the very thing to “raise a laugh’’ a whole audience of children would sit mute and solemn and when he least expected they would suddenly burst into un- controllable mirth. /

A sense of humor is, however, indispensable to the happiness, and all children who do not come by it naturally must be educated to see a joke. This does not mean that they should be encouraged to laugh at things that should be respected, nor be amused at stories with a risque flavour. They should be taught the difference between making harmless jokes, about other people and saying those things that really hurt' and rankle. But apart from these details everything possible should be done to develop a child’s sense of humor. Probably .the best,way to do this is to study what class of humor appeals to children at the various stages of their development, and when the first spark of amusement flickers up fan it to a healthy flame.

Even baby can see a joke! Let him have “tum- blers” and mechanical toys to make him laugh. These are better than over exciting him by “pop- ping out at hi mor falling do"wn and pretending to be hurt. Though these methods invariably tickle his sense of humour, it’s a mistake, even at this early age, to encourage laughter at other folk’s dis- comfiture. *

When children reach school age the jokes showing the stupidity in others or tll'e misuse of "words by the ignorant find great favour. They like puns and riddles and stories that “take a bit of seeing.” but at this stage children take their humour very seriously, and are extremely annoyed if they fail to see the point when others laugh.

I remember still the pained look on my young sister’s face when she heard the story of the sign- post which read “Eight miles to Stumpford. If you cannot read this, apply to the blacksmith at the corner.” When the other children laughed at her for being dense she made a '.supreme effort. “But I do see the joke,” she protested. “The blacksmith might have been out!”

Boys love funny stories involving sports and games and comic pictures with a spice of danger— a boy scout hanging by an eyelash to the edge of a cliff, or a motorist coping ineffectually with a runaway car. Their sense of humor develops ear- lier, and is more subtle than a girl’s. I know of a small boy of fiv® who, on hearing the storj’ of the Israelities worship of the Golden Calf, and God’s anger said, “Fancy His being angry. 1 should have laughed!”

Girls get amusement out of the vanities of their own sex and the failings of the opposite one, and

it is as well that they should be able to laugh at both ! But romance plays a bigger park in their lives than humour.They are inclined to leave the funny books and papers for their brothers and it is not always ea.sy to persuade them to take themselves less seriously.

Children with one accord detest being laughed at. “The funny things they saj'” are not amusing to them, and parents who relate these remarks in the presence of their offspring, or laugh at an}’ lack of humor on the part of a child, make a very great mistake. Draw a diagram, if necessary, to make them see the joke, and let them do the laughing at their own previous lack of appreciation ! 0

FASHION UNLIKELY TO RULE WOMEN

Toronto.—It is predicted that girls will soon be as feminine-as ever they were. Of course, they always were and ever will be femihe, says a local paper in an editorial, but if the pi’edietion is that girls will abandon short hair, short skirts, give up golf, softball, trout fishing, speed skating, hocke}’, basketball and other athletics—if the prediction is that they will return to tight-lacing and foot-pinching in tiny shoes; that they will regain the startled-fawn attitude; that they will faint bn the least provocation and blush for no reason at all—if this is the prediction it is not believed it will bç fulfilled.

Women have come outdoors and outdoors is too much for women to relinquish, even at the be- hest of Fashion. Fashion is warned that it must not go too far. No doubt longer skirts may come in, but not long enough to trail on the ground as they once did—indoors perhaps, but not outside. Fashion must not forget that germs have been discovered since the days of grandmamma. Nor, having enjoyed the freedom of loose, simple and few garments will women ever again consent to be tight-laced and piled thick and heav}’ with layers of dry-goods. They may consent to allow Fashion to regulate their appearance, but not to govern what they are. They will motor and golf ; they will enjoy all outdoors; they will in increasing numbers, enter the professions andengage in business. The beautiful doll is gone, not to come again in the western world.

Some Toronto "women interviewed on the subject of long, skirts gave variations on the theme One said that the smart woman might dress delight- fully with one length for morning, ankle length for afternoon formality and trailing lines for evening, |but that the generality of people who have not time to do that would have â hard time pleasing Fashion and the public with a dress that must do for a large part of the day.

“I do like the long skirts, particularly for evening wear,” said anotheiv “and the new styles have one advantage—they show women’s figures agam. tüf. .cftUEse long hanging drapes ai’e stupid for day wear, even though the skirts were in danger of becoming much too short for awhile.” In answer to the query if women preferred the clinging vine type ,she replied, “certainly the men do!”

“Modern life is so much more unconventional than that of 10 or 12 years ago that I doubt whether that new conventionality induced by’ the designers can be adopted without appearing forced,” com- mented Mrs. John Garvin, president nf the Helicon- ian club. Miss Mary Edgar, of Camp Bernard, knows girls. They’ love sport and will probably wear more abbreviated summer costumes in the future than they’ do now, but “they love just as much the contrast of wearing the height of formality when' they get back to to"n’n,” she thinks. " “I expect to see the same girls who love their freedom in the summér revel in the long, sophisticated line when they get back to town,” Miss Edgar added. —0 i

NEW WAYS TO COOK AND SERVE CEREALS

“Unless y’ou have tried cooking your breakfast cereal in milk y’ou do not know how deliciou.s these whole grains can taste,” say’s Miss Marjorie Poster of the National Dairy Council. Using milk in this way to begin the day’ is also a good way for the "wise mother to see that each member of the family gets his full quota of the daily quart.

Start tomorrow morning’s breakfast tonight by mixing one-half cup of oat meal with enough water to moisten it. Add one pint of milk, three- fourths teaspoon salt, and cook the customary’ time in a double boiler. This may be easily’ reheated in the morning for the family’ breakfast.

The quicker kind of oat meal, wheatena, farina, and other cereal foods may all be cooked with milk, using the double boiler. A little experiment- ing On the part of the mother will discover just what proportions of milk to use based on whether the family like their cereal in a gruel form or more solid. Left-over milkcooked cereal should be kept covered in the ice chest so it can tb« reheated in more milk the following morning A “surprise”,

; feature may’ be used by putting some fruit, either dried or stewed, such as apricots or pranes, or fresh ripe bananas in the bottom of the bowl, add- ing brown sugar and whole milk.

BUTTERSCOTCH TAPIOCA

Use 2 cups milk, 1-4 cup tapioca, 1-2 cup bro"^TO sugar (scant), 1 tablespoon butter, pinch of salt, 1 egg.

Melt the sugar and butter and add the cold milk. Allow the hardened sugar to melt slowly’ as the milk heats. Add the salt and the tapioca when the milk has reached the boiling point. Wien the pudding has thickened and is clear, add the beaten egg yolk. ' When this is cool, add the beaten egg white. Serve with cream.

In place of the brown sugar, white sugar may be used and tart fruit added for flavoring.

PARALYSIS Paralysis appears to be a disorder

of the muscle, but it is, in reality, a condition which results from a disoi’- der of the nerves or the nervous me chanism which controls the muscles. The disorder of the nervous control causes either a rigidity of the muscles or a relaxed state; in either of these, complete or partial loss of control ex- ists, and the muscles involved or the part served by the muscles, is said to be paralysed.

The disorder of the nervous control is caused by damage to the nervous tissue. If the spinal cord is injured, there is a loss of sensation below that point. The senses of touch, pain and temperature are lost because the connection which carries these sensations in from the skin is broken at the point of injury. Paralysis does occur as the result of infection, the action of bac toria or living disease germs. In certain communicable diseases, the spinal cord is selected for special attack. This is the case in infantile paralysis in which disease, unfortunately, paralysis is one of the outstanding features. Injuries of the head may result in paralysis on account of the bone’s pressing on certain centres" in the brain which control the muscles.

The rupture of a blood vessel in the brain means pressure; depending upon the extent o'i the haemorrhage and its location, pai^lyaU to a greater 01 less .extent occurs. This condition is commonly called apoplexy or para- lytic stroke. The blood contained in the blood vessels is under pressure. If the wall of the blood vessel become weakened, it may give way under this j pressure and haemo'rrhage result. The blood vessels of the brain are parti-

cularly dalieate and that is. why they give way first.. The weakening of the blood vessel walls occurs as- a result oC disease, particularly syphilis. In other caseS) the' break is net due to any particular weakening of the blood, vessel walls, but to an increase in the blood pressure to a point that causes thr blood to burst through the vessel walls.

The extent of the relief which may be given to the paralysed depen Is upon thei cause of the* condition. Many forma of the disease can be helped; slome can be improved; for others, un- ijortunately, little or nothing can be done. Prevention is chiefly done through the control of infections.

BIBLE SOCIETY ELECT OFFICERS Before a large audience in the Unit-

ed Church, comprising a union congregation, representing the Baptist, Pres- byterian and United Churches, Rev. G. A. McLennan. B.A., Secretary of the Montreal Branch of the British and Foreign. Bible Society, delivered a most comprehensive and interesting^ address Sunday evening, dealing with the work and opportunities confront ing this organization whicli has been operating for 125 years.

Owing to the absence, of Mr. C. G. McKillican, President, through recent béreavement in his fîtmil,^, Rev. Mr. Harris presided and was assisted in the devotional exercises by Rév. Dr. P. A.

MRS. C. GORDON McKILLIGAN Died—'At Maxville, Ont., on Thurs-

day, Jaiiuhry 30th, 1930, Katie Flor- ence CasS) beloved wife of C, Gordon McKillican.

To many the foregoing may mean nothing more than, “Just another death notice ’ But seldom, if ever, have our citizens been more pain- fully ■shocked than when on. Thursday evening the^news spread that Mrs. Me Killican had suddenly passed away.

For several weeks she had been quite seriously ill and the whole community, figuratively, watched anxiously by* her bedside. On Sunday, 26tb January, she was veryVlow, but on the following day, she appkrently took a turn for the better and even with a few moments of her death ,promises for permanent convalescence were evi- dent.

It is humanely impossible to recon- cile, why, that this mother—than whom there never was in Maxville, a more universally beloved—a mother who had fio much to live for and who had in 'her short life, contributed so un- sparingly to the happiness of- others, why, that she should be eut off in her early years and others , whose sowing only brings sorrow in its wake, are permitted by Providence to cumber the earth, even to old age.

Why» this is, God only knows and were it not for- the fact that there is a faith which enabled the deceased in say, in unison w’ith millions of others, “0 Love that wilt not let me go, I rest my weary soul, in Thee; I give Thee back the life I owe. That in Thine ocean depths its flow May richer, fuller be.”

Were it not for that faith, life and the hereafter would be hopeless.

The late Mrs. McKillican, who was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs- Jos. P. Cass, was born at Cassburn, Out., forty-one years ago. In August, 1910, sbe married Mr. McKillican. For some years they lived in Peterborough and Toronto where he was engaged in newspaper work in tconneetion with Farm Journals, moving to Maxville iu November, 1924, where they purchased the Donald McDougall farm, which they have since conducted.

The deceased was an active member of the United Church, being especially interested in the activities of the Young ‘iWiomen’s Missionary Society. In fact, every enterprise that had for its object the betterment of her fel- lows. found in her a gracious and sym- pathetic supporter.

Besides her sorrowing husband, she leaves to mourn her loss, five sons anO one daughter, Margaret, Herbert, Wil- liam, Douglas, and twin sons, borr. last Christmas Day, Donald Ramsay and Robert Ewing. She is also survived by her parents, one brother and five sisters, Allan, of Cassburn, Mrs. W. Garvin, Bomaseen, Vt., Mrs. Di*. Found, Seoul, Korea; Ada, of Mont- ,real; Muriel, of Toronto and Miss Nor- ma Cass, R.N. To those so sorelv stricken the heartfelt sympathy of their many friends, in which The Glengarr*y News joins, is extended.

On Saturday afternoon the funerab which was very largely attended, took place to the United Church, the service being conducted by Rev. F. W. K. Harris, who was assisted by Rev. Dr. P. A. MacLeod of the Presbyterian Church and Rev. M. Saunders of the Baptist Church.

Many beautiful floral offerings were presented.

Messrs. Hugh Benton, N. L. Stewart, A .R. Stewart, Albert McEwen, Wm. McEwen, and Leonard McNaughton were pallbearers, interment being made in Maxville cemetery.

MRS. ANTOINE DESCHAMPS On Saturday evening. Feb. 1st, there

passed away, at her homo hero, Mrs. Antoine Deschamps, Maxville’s oldest resident, her maiden name being Hat tie McRae. She was born in the town ship of Ea.st Hawkesbury, county of Prescott, between 90 and 100 years ago, being a daughter of the late Malcolm MacRae and his wife Catherine Me- Caskill. Ever since 1900 when she was married to Antoine Deecvhamps of this town, the deceased was a resident of Maxville. Her life was unobstru- sive, gentlo and generous, -ând the mem- ■ory she leaves is a wholesome ono, fra grant with recollections ; of service faithfully rendered. As a daughter, she was grateful, as a wife, she was faithful and as a friend, she was true. Beside her husband she is survived by one sister, Mrs. Kenneth McCuaig, of the township of Caledonia. %

The funeral service was held on Monday afternoon in ‘ the United Church, of which the deceased'was a niem'ber,and was conducted by “Rev. F. W. K. Harris, assisted by Rev. P A. MacLeod and Rev. M. Saunders.

Messrs. P. F. MacEwen, J. W. Ken- nedy, D. D. MacGregor, J. D. MacRae, J. MacLeod, and S. J. MacEwen were pallbearers. Interment was made in Maxville cemetery.

MUSIC SALE BY TENDER THE CORNWALL BRIDGE COMPANY

At the very commencement of the Glengarry School of Music experiment —I was advised to discontinue teach- ing any pupils who were not progressive as these were the type of pupU that would injure the reputation of teacher and school. This advice was an imperative request as all teachers of any consequence throughout tiio world insist on a new pupil fetching in a testimonial as to previous results If the child ha® not had lessons pre- viously, a two months’ course will be ample time to find out the possibilities of this new student. If the future of the pupil is deubtful I must notify the parents not to expe?t results and have the child discontimm. This advice I have followed from the beginning and I now attribute the sue ces® of my school to the select class of^ talented students attending it. '

New talent is being discovered weekly and I think we have many such pupils, or better ones, in this county w!».! have yet to be discovered. I have a young boy of about sixteen years of age, a son of Mr. Smith of Green Val- ley station who began his course in September (an hour lesson once a week) from whom I will expect much. He is actually learning his own piano without assistance and takes honors weekly. He already know Arpeggios and Scales for six months’ work in advance. This may seem unusual, just the same it is true.

Another wonderful child 'is little Miss Madeline Sauve, daughter of Mr. O. Sauve, Advocate. This child began in August last, is but nine years of ago and will try her first and second year exaihs. in the Royal Academy. The fo>regjoing information regarding the short period in attendance will not be made known to the examiners as it would be incredible for any one to expect a 'child to accomplish so mucht difficult work in such a short time. Each exam usually covers one year’s j lessons with the average ...teacher but two years’ work in ten months is something very seldom -found. This child learns her own pieces in major keys of four sharps and four flats. My school is fortunate to have such a puprl. I am told she is equally clever at school and skips classes quite frequently. '

A new experiment for the school in adult experience will be the entry in the near future of a very talented adult pupil whom I had the good for- tune of meeting at this school three wbeks ago. Mr. and Mrs. Stanley Wightman of Lancaster, called and purchased a Sherlock-Manning piano. After hearing Mrs. Wightman play I decided this pupil was a genius, and although she plays by ear she^ still has the memory to retain pieces she for merly had learned in years past.

She also possesses the gift of imita tion, playing by ear and in/the same key what she heard. While she is a very busy woman, has three little sons to care for, many household duties to attend to, running a large farm as they do, still she will find time to taJte -up music when the motoring season is with us. I shall await with interest the results achieved by this progressive pupil as it will be a new experience, which I hope will prov^ a succès® for many ladies who have been led to believe that adults cannot learn music. This fact was proved last fall at Congress Assembly held in Londion, England ,oue of our MeGiH College lecturers attended this Cor gross and the unanimous decision was that music as well as education in gen^ eral can be obtained at mostly any age. A great deal depends on the me- thod of instruction-â pupil will thrive"^ under a real teacher. Therefore I will await wifh interest this lady’s entry into my class, and hope to gain information., that will help scores of adult® of both sexes who can while away spare moments in useful pastime,

HARMONY IN SPANISH DESIGN BOWMAN & CULLERNE/Architectj

BUILDINGS designed in the style of th'e Spanish Mission have a pocnliar allurement of thedr own. Whether it is

' due to the interesting histones con neoted with this kind of structure or just their «entrancing appearances, is hard to say. The graceful lines and the Jiannonous contrast of color attracts thé eye and singles out the Spanish design as distinctive. , In .this particular residence, the charming exterior boldly proclaims its style in every line. Th'e bright red of the roof over the gentle cream of the etueco produces a liveliness in color. Typically realistic of the Spanish mode is the arched èntran’ee at the side leading to the rear garden. Tile floor in the porch with brick steps leading to it, 'compose a durable, attractive en- trance. The large window in the front gable, with its flower box, is a feature of comfort. In fact, the whole exterior hah a most favorable aspect.

.Entering tl^. main, hall, it is noticed that the living room lies to -t;he right and another hadl opens off at the left, leading .«to the bedrooms* bathroom and ’kitchen. The large well-lighted living room with its fireplace, has a'

dînette adjoining. In the handy kit chen many built-in features are provided. Bedrooms are well supplied with closet space and the bathroom is layed out in a commendable manner.

Ouirine Specifications Size of House: 36' x 38’.

Suitable Lot: 50' x 120'. Walls: Studeo-Cream. Roof: Imitation tile (Gal. Iron). Heating: Warm Air. Interior Trim and Floors: Hardwood. Built-in Features: Kiitchen fixtures. Cubic Contents: 31,464 cu. ft. ^ Approximate Cost: $4,700. Readers desiring further information

regarding a house of this design should communicate with Home Build- ing Information Service, 345 Adelaide Street, West, Toronto, Ontario. When writing please tell us what particulars are desired and mention design number 215. 'Copyright, 1930.

TINE DECORATION COLOR AND ■ WEARING QUALITY IN TILES Rooms in which tiles are used are ever

fresh. WHEN tiles are properly kid there

is no more durable or more beautiful

surfacing material for floors and walls. That they are looked upon as elegant cannot be denied- It is true that tiles are more expensive than many other finishes, but one^ must remember that they do not wear out.

A rigid backing and foundation is necessary^ and this is often neglected in cheap work. The best way to lay a til-e floor on top of wooden beams is as follows: Rough flooring boards are fastened about three inches below the tops of the joists. Tke upper edges of thé joists are then ‘chamfered to an edge. Cinder concrete is then packed in between the beams and spread about an inch over their tops. Then on this bed should be spread wire lath and a little more concrete on top. The tile can then be laid in a bed' of cement mortar on top of this foundation.

As usually constructed, though, the metal lath is not put down, and sometimes the tops of the joists are not chamfered. Th-en as the, beams shrink or the house setUes, tlie tile floor will be cracked. Chamfering the beams al- lows the cement fill to arch over the tops of them. The metal lath further reinforces the concrete and takes up any tension stresses.

The same thing is true of the walls. Tiles should never be laid over plas- ter which has been put on over wooden lath. A more rigid reinforcement is needed such as can be secured from metal lath.

Messrs. Hamilton and ■ Beckstead moved tliat the Council adjourn until 8 p.m. on Wednesday. In support of

the motion, Mr. Hamilton considered it advisable to hold at least one night sitting.

Other members objected to this •course, stating that in past sessions the Council had got along without night sittings very nicely and business had not suffered. It was pointed out that the Olerk had to •work until 3 and 4 o'clock in the morning following night sittings in order to keep up with his work and have it in shape for the next day.

br. Munro and D. A. McIntosh mov ed in amendment that 5 p.m. Wednes- day be substituted for 8 p.m. as the hour to which adjournment be made.

A vote wâs taken on the amendment ^nd it was carried by 26 to 9, the War- den not voting. Those who supported Mr. Hamilton's main motion were Messrs. Beckstead, Foster, Hamilton, Irvine, Jehnston, McCrimmon, Fred McLeod, Thompson, Van Allen. Oppos- ed, the balance of Council.

At the Wednesday session, Dr. C. T. Hamilton, medical jbfficer of health for Stormont ,was invited^ to speak and presented an appeal for an isola- tion hospital for tubercular patients. In his brief falk, he referred to tbe large number of cases of tuberculosis in the district and the improper treatment they were receiving.

‘‘I have come here to see if you can •help me to any extent in the suggestion which I intend to place before you," stated Dr. Hamilton. ‘În recent years, the ‘‘white plague" has become widespread throughout our district and throughout the couutry at large. It is a well-known fact to all doctors that the disease cannot be helped in any way although there are many cases where cures have been pro- fessed. To cheek its spread, however, is the important problem which, we have to face at present.

“I think that one of the worsl things we see today is the placing of tubercular patients in public wards with O'thor invalids. It is my wish, at this time, to suggest that building particularly for such patients be built. I am of the opinion that the council can help me considerably and woiiM ask 'that at this or some succeeding meeting, they should draft a resolutiDji to be placed before the provincial le- gislature, recommending the construction of such an institution.

Recently, I received information to the effect fhat I have held piy present office longer thân any other officer in Ontario. I liave been Medi- cal Officer of He.-ilth for the past 47 years and in that time it has been my duty to report aud iiiveatigare

these •eases. I have found that in the rural districts no attempt ’ is being made to segregate members of the family from those afflicted with tul • erculosis.

“The erection of a building such as the one that I have spoken of, would not entail a large expense, and I be Ueve would be a great saving to the municipality because at present the municipalities must 'take care of them in the local hospitals at a very expensive rate.

“We have all heard of the so-called free sanitariums, but I can make the statement that there is no such thing. I have tried several times to procure places for patients in these institutions and have found that unless the patient is able to pay, one ex- cuse or another is employed to refuse admittance.

“I have brought this appeal before the Council of 'the United Counties because I believe that such a largc- and influential body as this might impress the Department of Health. Tn conclusion, I would like to say I think more time should bo 'taken in thi.s matter which so vitally affects human life."

At the conclusion of Dr. Hamilton’s speefeh, J. A. Simpson,,i district representative of the Department of Agr; culture, was given a hearing, when he presented an appeal for an agricu^ tural committee to be appointed.

“I have come to ask for this ap pointment believing that the people in this district need it. In all the other counties of Ontario there are similar bodies which are aiding the work of the Department. The func tion of such a body would giê in creased moral support. This is very necessary because *at present the great difficulty that we as agricul tural workers have to contend with is. indifference on the part, of the farmers. We need the backinglof such an advisory committee. The Committee would 'form a valuable aid as an advisory council. Our work would be more profitable if we had the advice of men who are familiar with condi •tions in the district. I think that a committee of about 12 men would be ideal. With such an organization wo could work out an excellent develop ment program and could possibly clin<. inate many mistakes."

Befor.e adjournment, a motion was forwarded and carried, providing that these questions be taken up in com mittee of the whole, the fo-llowing day

Reports of several committees were received at the session of council Thursday afternoon and various re- commendations of committees wero acted upon.

In this report of the printing com mitteo, the statement A'as.made that but a single tender for the printing ot the minutes had- been. -received, this being from “The Morrisburg Leader.' Last year, the minutes were printed by The Leader at a contract price 6f $300. Two tenders were received from “The Cornwall Standard" and “The Cornwall Freeholder" for the printing of Sheriff's notices. The contract was awarded -to The Standard.

Ulenii A. Shaver requested that the clerk inform The Leader that delivery of the minutes should be more prompt to -comply with the terms of tlie contract. The V last time the.,c books were received, they were several days late ■ and considerable ineon veuience resulted.

In the report of the communications committee a single matter was dealt with,, that of Mr. Simpson’s request regarding an agricultural coun cil. The committee advised that action be taken on this matter.

The council carried the report of the jedU'Cation committee without a- mendment and passed by-laws installing High School trustees.

Recommendation was made by the education committee that the uniform promotion examinations be continued for the current year.

Before the council adjourned for day, Dr. J. Howard Munro moved a resolution of sympathy to Henry Wil- liams, a former member of Council, who is seriously ill. The resolution, which was adopted was as follows* “That the clerk be instructed to forward a letter to Henry Williams an cx-niember of the Council who is at present in Cornwall General Hospital, expressing our sincere sympathy with him in his illness and expressing the wish that he may soon be restored to health and strength, and also that the clerk forward flowers on behalf of th-» council."

Reports of committees and intro- duction and passing of by-laws -occupied the mojority of the time at Fri- day’s session of Council. The first report of the county property committee was lengthy and dealt ' with many matters. The report was re ferred to committee of the whole and then passed in open council without amendment.

According to this report, a sub committee composed of W. H. Gallin- ger, chairman of the committee, ami the clerk was appointed to attend to repairs and improvements to buildings niid grounds. Appropriation of an amount not to exceed $30 was granted to be used in connection with the jaii and county buildings. The clerk was instructed 'to call for tenders on coal, the same to be filed before the June

session. Judge F. T. Costello appliel for the quarters occupied by the late Sheriff. A motion was placed before the council that 'the clerk's office be moved from the lower floor tô the second floor and into the former sheriff’s office in order that he might be near to the county superintendeur of roads, J. G. Cameron, whoso work falls along simila-r- lines and also that the Clerk might be accessible to the council-hall during / county session.^». The caretaker was instructed to attend to the caretaking of the library of the Law Association. The commit tee recommended that the finance com mittee purchase a suit for each of tk? turnkeys and one for the jailer if desired.

The first and chief article on tlu report of 'the committee on roads and bridges dealt with the appointment of the ' commission for county bridges. Those appointed were H. C Nugent — Conaught Bridge; Rober: Bryan—Seot^ Bridge, Silver Creek Bridge and McCaul Birdge; Thomas Johnson—Black Creek, Sandy Creek, South Branch; Sidney Thompson — West Bridge; J. E. Crowder—McCon nell and Bickford Bridge; James R. Blair—^McRae’s Bridge; W. ,A. Mur ray—Grant’s Bridge; J. E. Annable — Belisle Boundary Bridge at Marion ville. Such commissioners are to have power to issue orders on the treasurer for repair bills in connection with any such bridge and which the treasurer is authorized to pay wlD3ii properly -certified.

In the report of the- road superin- tendent it was pointed out that the county liability for the construction and maintenance of the provincial highways in these counties for 1929 was $74,206, being 20 per cent, of thi total cost. This amount together with the necessary iutcrest will b: levied next June.

The expenditures for county road were classified as follows according to the various sections: Quebec boun dary to the Stormont—Glengairry boundary, $1,595 for construction an.l $24,284 for maintenance; between the boundaries of Stormont, $319,256 for construction and $6,430 for maintenance; across Williamsburg Township, $2,195 for construction and $5,481 for maintenance; across Matilda Town ship, an amount of $43,974 for con ^truction - was credited as a refund from the Dominion Government on the Canal Bank Roads in 1927 and maintenance $5*481; Morfisburg to Winchester Springs, $16,578 for .construction and $9,205 for maintenance; Winchester Springs to Caxleton Coun- ty, $17,925 for construction an(^ $10,406 for mainteaiauce. The warden and the clerk will form a board for auditing the accounts of the County Roads,

To finance the work on the county road system for this year until debentures are sold ,the warden and clerk have been authorized to borroy against such debentures, direct levy knd Gov- ernment subsidy of $125,000 on a con- templated expenditure of $250,000, such sums required from time to time not exceeding in aggregate $200,00-'.

The committee endorsed the sys tern of protection regarding the C.P. R. crossing at Apple Hill which was directed to the Department of Rail way Commissioners.

The final item was the appointment of an advisory committee composed of the warden, Ed. Strader. Fred McLeod and John Morrison, to assist in the work of the. roads committee.

The last report received at -the Fri- day session was that .of the committee on resolutions and memorials. They suggested that the United Coun ties’ Council cooperate- with the Hastings County Council in a mem orial to the Provincial government re questing that all power and commun- ication companies remove all poles in- terfering with the construction of the highways. A memorial will be ad dressed to Honorable George S. Henry, Minister of Highways, ra questing that the Department be:ir 90 per cent, of the maintenance and cost of the provincial highway and not the 80 per cent. :which has pre vailed in the past.

The Board of Managers for the House of Re^fu'ge for 'the coming year will be Warden Strader, D. A. McIn- tosh and W. A. Murray.

Four by-laws "were passed at Fri- day’s session, three dealing with the appropriatiens for county roads and the fourth installing the new members of the Board of Managers of th<- House of Refuge and Industry. Th.: first by-law stated that the Warden and treasurer of the United Counties should be given power to borrow $50,- 000 to pay the proportion of the coss of the constriction of the Provincial Highways in the United Counties. The second dealt with the amount which should be appropriated for the expense of the county highways. An other authorised the warden an] treasurer to borrow $200,000 for th>^ counties’ road systems.

Their Excellencies in the West Indies

y

Little girls, they say, are made of sugar and spice and all that's nice. It can truly be said of thelittle piccaninny in this photograph, because she belongs to the West Indies, where spices and sugar grow. Her Excellency, Lady Willingdon, with whom she was photo- graphed on the deck of the Canadian National Stearriship Lady Somers at Jamaica, took quite a fancy to the little girl.

The group shows the Governor- General .and Lady Willingdon on board the Lady Somers, with Baron Olivier, P.C., K.C.M.G., and Capt. W. T. Forrester, O.B.Ç.

Baron Olivier, Chairman of the West Indian Sugar Commission, which was holding sittings wlien Their Excel-: ships that the Canadian N'ational have 'about them they would give up going ' lencies made their crüise of the islands, put on are very fine indeed and their to FloridaandCaUfor.niain the winter.-^) was formerly Governor of Jamaica, service is much appreciated all along Intheopinionof theGovcrnor-General,. On meeting, Canada's Governor-Gen- their route.” whose visit brought the Dominion and eral, Baron Olivier expressed the opin- Lord Willingdon, on his return to the islands even'closcr together, Canada ion that the Canada-West Indies trade Canada, described the West Indies as is making an exceedingly valuable con- agreement was likely to be of great “The sun room of the British Empire” tribution to the Empire by developing value to the islands and added, “The and said “If Canadians knew more contact with the West Indies.

DESCRIBES ISLANDS AS “SUN- ROOM OF EMPIRE'^

} Governor-General .Jjadx .WiUiirgdon return delighted^wi^^trip- Indies.

’ “There is no reason/'-said His Ex ebllency, the Governor-General of Cad- ada, when he landed at Saint John from the Canadian National Steamship “Lady.Drake" after* a six weeks' sojourn in the Caribbean, ^^why these beautiful islands should not be the Sunroom of the Empire., Lady Wd- lingdon and I cannot say too much in praise* of the West Indies from the standpoint of the traveller. If Cana- dians knew more about them they would give up going to Florida* and I California in the winter.

Êacli island has its own attraction*; and it would not bo fair to single out any one in particular. Some, such as Bermuda—extraordinarily British and interested 'in Canada, although it dose stand off by itself in the ocean— Jamaica, are more developed than others, but^ they ail have their appeal. We were only sorry w, could not stay longer in each port."

THE STEAMSHIPS ■ Of the Canadian National Steam-

ships, Their Excellencies had nothina: ' but praise. They were passengers on three—‘^The Lady Hawkins“The Lady Somers ’ ' and ‘ ‘ The Lady Drake ' ’ “Not only are they beautiful shifis and,' most comfortable," Lord Willing- don'^ said, “but—and I speak after much experience at sea:—they arc truly seaworthy."

After remarking on the efficiency and courtesy of the ships' officer*-,, His Excellency related an incident •which he regarded as an example of the finest courage and seamanship.

The “Lady Somers" lay outside Bermuda, unable to make port because of the violently heavy seas. The captain decided to get the pilot, who was taking the “Lady Rodney" out. A lifeboat was launched—a little British Empire in itself consisting of‘a crew of Englishmen, Irishmen, Newfound- landers and Canadians—and it was out bravely across half a mile of extremely

rough sea and succcsstuijv Drought the pilot back.

EMPIRE. AIDED Viscount WuiikgdojkjSiâ? much impress-

ed with the enrnusiusm- me West In- dian islands-siiO'wea tor uanada. “It was." he said, ’‘one of me most en couraging trips I have ever taken. The enthusiasm for Canada- was so great that I would go ô far as to say that the West Indies, in thinking of their future, look to Canada. They regarded our visit as a furthur evidence of the Dominion's desire for even (gloser relationships."

For too many, years, His Excellency said, the Indie's had been, isolated. Canada had undertaken to draw them closer to the Empire, and for this he thought Canada should get full credit in the Horn© Country. “By developing contact with the West Indies, Canada Im^ made an exceedingly valuable con tribution to the Empire."

Isolated from the rest of the Empire, th& Islands had also been more or les? isolated from'themselves. Lacking con- sistent inter- communicatioii, the various islands had developed independ- ently and individuaally. His Excel- lency saw the necessity of closer c)- operation, particularly if the Indies were to improve >their trade relations with the ou’tside world. The spirit of co-opeffation between the separate is lands was beginning to become more apparent and much of tliis was due to thé impetus given by (’.anada in bringing about the Canada-West Indies Trade Agreement and putting into ser vice the fleet of the Canadian National Steamships.

“Of course, the West Indies." said His Excellency, “stand to benefit ma- terially by trade with the Dominion, and they are quick to realize it. But Canada will derive advantages, too, and the whole thing will serve the Em- pire by pulling these two sections of it together."

VISIT BOTH GROUPS The Governor-General and Lady Wii-

lingdon, with the Governor’s aides, Capt. R. T. W. Fiennes and Capt. R. J, Streatfield, and the secretary E. C. Mieville, sailed from Halifax on the Canadian National Steamship “Lady Hawkins" on November 29th, and visited first of all the Eastern Group of islands. After calling at Bermuda, they cruised ^south and made short stops at St. Kitts, Nevis, Antigua, Montserrat, Dominica, St. Lucia, Bar- bados, St. Vincent, Grenada and Trini- dad. Wherever tlicy went, the distin- guished travellers were royally welcomed and entertained. They were given opportunity to glimpse the col- orful life of the islands, each so different in its characteristics and all so steeped intropie beauty and romance, and to learn something of tlie development and of the hopes of the colonies^

CANADA 'S TROPIC ISLE While the steamer continued its voy-

age to Dcmerara, British Guiana, the Vice-Regal party crossed to Jamaica. It was in Jamaica that Their Excellen- cies spent Christmas and New Year's Days.

Their Excellencies expressed a desi-e to take some of Jamaica's citrus fruits back to Canada with them so that the Canadian public might become acquainted with the fruit which Jamaica could produce. So for the first time in th-e history of the island, a shipment of grapefruit and oranges was made by the growers’ own marketing association, the Jamaica Citrus Producers' Association. Twenty caees Of grapefruit and twenty of oranges were presented to the Govern-or-Geu- eral, on behalf of the association, by Harold Bra ham, managfer, and were shipped on the “Lady Somers." Th. cases were labelled “Oranges from Canada's Tropic Isles" and “Grapj. fruit from Canada'ls Tropic Isle" and bore the device of a fruit tree growing up •out of the map of Jamaica.

After visiting all sections of Jamaica by automobile, over beautiful roads, playing golf and enjoying the other sports of the island. Their Excellencies sailed from Kingston on the “Lad*^ Somers" for a short stay at Bermuda before returning to Saint John on the “Lady Drake. '*

MANY TRAVELLERS

Whether moved by the example of the Governor-General and Lady 'Y'll- iingdon or nots Canadians fare this winter showing a greater interest than ever in the West Indies as a means of escaping the winter and enjoying a s?a voyage in the warm latitudes from port to port of the fascinating islands of the Spanish Main. The shorter trip to Bermuda appeals to those whose time is more limited, but the longer cruises, either to the Bahamas and Jamaica or down through the eastern group- to South America, have attract- ed many from all parts of the Dominion and from the United States as well. During the winter months, the fiv.? steamers in the Canadian National service sail from Haliffax and Saint

Catarrhal Deafness May Be Overcome

If you have Catarrhal Deafness or head and ear noises or are growing hard of liearing go to your druggist and get 1 ounce of Parmint (double strength), and add to it ^ pint of hoi water and a little granulated sugar. ,Take 1 tablespoonful four times a day.

This will often bring quick' relief from the distressing head noises. Clog- ged nostrils should open, breathing become easy and the mucus stop dropping into the throat. It is easy to prepare, costs little and is pleasant to take. Anyone* who has Catarrhal Deafness or head no-ises should give this prescrip- tion a trial.

John and in the summer, two of them, the “Lady Somers" and the “Lady Rodney", go from Montreal.

Awakened to great activity by the advent of his line of beautiful white- hulled ves.sels, the West. Indians are making even greater efforts to welcome their visitors. One evideaice cf this is the. new hotel which is now under construction at Constant Spring near Kingston, Jamaica.

Many Canadians will be interested to know that Stanley Thompson, the celebrated Toronto golf architect, who designed the- splendid course at Jasper Park Lodge, .sailed recently for Jamai- ca to undertake the designing of a golf course for this new hotel.

The Dynamic Nuw [rskine Supplementing the enthusiastic re-

ception accorded the Dynamic New Erskine during its debut at the recent New York and Montreal automobile shows, are the scores of congratulatory messages pouring in at the Studebaker factory daily from dealers all over tlie country, according to D. R. Grossman, Vice-President and General Manager of The Studebaker Corporation of Can- ada, Limited.

“During the entire show season the exhibit of Dynamic New Erskine mo- dels was the focal point for thousands of visitors eager to'get a first hand view an.d first hand knowledge of ■‘.lie now ear.

“Observers at the shows report that spectators ' comments disclosed surprise at the unusually large dimensions of the new ear on its 114 inch wheel- base, while its, beauty of appearance insid.e and out, and the quality of the materials used in 'its manufacture came in for generous praise. Favorable com- ment centered, however, in the ex eeptional value represented by tie Dynamic Erskine.

^‘That this favorable reaction was UK>t limited to any one section of the country is emphasized by the flood -of enthusiastic messages which, have been pouring in from north, south, east and west ever since the car made' its first official appearance.

“Typical of the telegrams received by Studebaker from its dealers is one from Willis-Kingsley Motors, Limited distributors at Vancouver ,B.C., which reads as foRows ‘Congratulations o.u the n-ew Erskine. It is beautifully designed and can well carry the name 'Dy- namic'. Most favo'rably received and the exprossions. of numerous viewers is that the Erskine is à worthy member of the Studebaker Family.'

Canada Has World’s “Cleanest” Tea Warehouse

On a tour of the Dominion under the auspices of the British Institute of.,Certified Grocers six post graduates visited the Montreal plant of the Sala- da Tea Company of Canada, Limited. The following report made by the secretary, Mr. C. L. T. Beaching, appear ed in the Tea & Coffey- Trade Journal, of New York. “During the tour they (the graduates) inspected some of the wholesale and retail tea eonç-erns in the Dominion and they considered that the Montreal plant of the Salada Tea Com- pany was the neatest and cleanest tea blending warehouse and packing centre in the world." Canada has rea«iOU to be proud of industries that can make such an impression on visitors of this calibre.

SmokinH Warning You have a fine healthy body, young

man; now don't go and spoil everything by smoking too many cigarettes. You know that athletes are forbidden to smoke during their training and thi*-

reason is that smoking is bad for th«'. heart. Espeeiallfy during the winter months, when cold winds prevail you do not want to lower your resistance to illness; smoking is bad for your throat Make a close time for smoking; make up your mind not to smoke between breakfast and dinner;, you need not have a cigfirette constantly in your lips. All cigarette smoking is bad for the throat; the first thing a doctor does in treating a patient with a red throat'' is to stop his smoking. We have quite enough enemies to deal with in fighting germs; we need hot add to our troubles by weakening our throats by tobacco smoking.

Bladder Weakness Wrecking Health of Thousands

A big percentage—some claim tv/-.: out of three—of men .and women cf mature years are troubled with Bladder and Urinary Weakness, causing Back- aches, Headaches, Nervousness, fre- quent night risings and burning irri- tations throughout the day. These conditions not only make life miser- able, but they sap vitality, undermine health and frequently lead to most painful operations. ^

In an effort to swiftly relieve and comfort even the most obstinate aad distressing of these conditio.ns, a well known physician offers the value of “Uratabs," a treatment he has suc- cessfully used for over 40 years. Dr. Southworth's “Uratabs" come in plain sealed packages containing 10 days' treatmeht—and all w’ho need such a medicine are invited to try it at once without sliglitest risk of cost unless pleased with results. Any good druggist will supply you on a binding guarantee of satisfaction or money back on first box purchased.

Fast backing is as harmful to, a cold ûgine as driving forty miles an hour in high.

HENRY'S

SHORTHAND SCHOOL OTTAWA, ONTARIO

No acHool in Canada offers a bettei training, or ensures a more suceossfn! future. Henry’s leads all ethers, and ranks among employers as “The SCHOOL OP HIQHEB EFFICIENCY ” —a fact home out by more than 600 pupils who have, since January, 1913, left other Ottawa schools to come to it.

Therefore, it is not surprising that business men, in advertising for steno graphers, should specifically say, “Graduates of Henry’s School prefer red.”

Ontaria Man Speaks With Great Enthusiasm MR. J. A. SHOOK TELLS OF DODD’S

KIDNEY PILLS

He Says He Uses Them More As a Preventive Than a Remedy

Corbetton, Ont, Feb. 6th, (Special). It is with true enthusiasm that Mi.

J. A. Shook, a well known rçsidenf of this place, gives his opinion of Dodd’s Kidney Pills.

”For the past thirty yea/s 1 huve been working at pick and shovel work —ditching, road building and oêetion- work. Pretty stiff work on th-^ back, kidney and bladder, with tho result, a pain in *the small -of the b-ack. A friend recommended Doll’s Kidney Pills. I used some w'ith tne foil'^wing results—less pain an-d raor? work. That was some thirty years ago. Since that time I have used Dodd’s Kidney Pills more' as a preventive than a cure. I use them when I have hard work lo do. Eat lots, work hard and use Dodd’s Kidney Pills is my maxim. I am in ^my sixty-third year and can do a man’s work yet^ thanks to Dodd’s Kidney Pills.”

Does Man Settle Up Or Down ?

WHEN man reaches that stage in his existence where the urge for “home” dominates his thoughts he is suffering the first stages of the “settling down” process. He begins planning a house and all that goes with it, and realizes that before he can settle down and become a Solid Citizen he must “settle up.”

Now this "settling up” business should be in- dulged in at regular intervals by most of ns. There’s always some little account that if not paid promptly when notice is sent, will be allowed to stand, inde- finitely. One of the most unfortunate in this respect is the subscription to the newspaper. The amount is small and cornea due but once a year; so it is easily forgotten... But when a thousand or two subscribers “forget,” the publisher is in a bad way and immediately has to put on pressure to collect the two dollan accounts.

There is one sure way of keeping "settled up” with your newspaper—watch the label every week. After ÿour name the date on which your subscription expires is printed plainly. Pay it promptly when it comes due. Make sure of it now.

“Look at the Label”
