Current e and Con fidential ~ By Elsie Carruthers Lunney HURONIA, IN THE YOOTSTEPS 0F CHAMPLAIN On Stinday we taok a trip back through Canada's history in the district called Hurania, which iorms a cradié about thé lower end ai Georgian Bay. This country, first exploned by Bruie in 1610, iollowéd by Champlain in 1615, is filléd with histonical sites whére thé past is brougbt ta lufe again, and anc could ;pend days visiting thcm. Taking anc thmng at a time, we visitéd Hunonia Housé at Midiand, a wondérful muséum which presénts thé stany af thé paît ta the éyes ai thousands of, visitons from thé United States and Canada cvery summér. Hère on the top of a hii avenlooking thé bay at Midiand, in a hugé and beautiful aId house, is a wonderful collection of Indian relics, including skulls; as wcll as white pioncer impléments, furnituré, dishés and clothes, ta name oniy a féw ai thé things ta be seen. Mr. Wilfrid Jury, r chaeologist, is responsible for rauch af týic excavation and doc- umentirig ai Indian relics. As in all muséums, anc could spénd days instéad of haurs. The bouse itsélf, caled appra- priately, "Edgchili", bas an in- teresting backgraund, as most old bouses have. Thé curatan, Mn. R. A. Gnigg, told us that thé oid house which is ai marné con- struction, was built 75 years aga by the British Canadian Lumbér Company for'twa af its officiais. This was when thé great lum- ber trade of thé Midland area miade it thé bu.sicst lumbér town on Georgian Bay with an output per seasan af 33 million féet, ac- cording ta thé laté -J. Herbent Cranston's booklet on Huronia. Mr. Cranstan, wha dicd récent- [y, was the editar af thé Mid- land Free Press, and author af several books, the latest being "Ink On My Fingers." He was one of the original committe and anc af thé busiést promotérs :for thé iaunding and establish- ment of this muséum, Hunonia Bouse. A Spacious Home Its présent home, Edgehili, was occupiéd for many ycars by one of thé praminent citizéns of Midland, James Playfair and his Iamily who bought it from thé British Canadian Lumber Com- pany. Mr. Playfair was anc of thé leaders in thé shipping in- dustry, which is stili anc af Mid- lend's main industries. Thé hause is spaciaus and weil de- signcd witb pancléd cilings and walls in thé iower and upstairs halls, which are as widc as rooms tbémsélves. The bouse, originally built fon two familiés by the lumber company, was miade into ane, and an addition put on besidés! Théy liked lots of room ini thé old days. One af thé raoms dawnstains contains dressés and costumés of pioncer days. One ai thèse is Mrs. Playiair's wcdding dress, and thé other a sombre looking, but ricb, black dréss iri which as Miss Charlotte Ogilvie af Montreal, she was, befare hér znarriage, présented at Montreal ta the thén Prince of Wales, la- ter Edward VII. One af her rid- ing cnops is alsa sbawn. She was an ardent horsewoman. The bouse, lcft by Mns. Play- fair ta thé Mdland haspital,t came evéntually inta thé hands of thé. town who lease it ta thé Historic Society as a muséum. We cannot begin ta déscnibé al the fascinatlng things which 1have béén gatbcred hère, thé farmn implements, p i a n e e r churns, charcoal irans, stoves, bedstéads, cradles and chairs; the Indian stane impleménts, beads, canoés and bancs; thé raam partraying shipping on thé lakes and a ruadél ai thé first locomotive built in Upper Can- ada; thé stufféd birds, animais and pickléd snakés (ugb!) na- tive ta thé arca. Wé just hope yau won't miss visiting Hurania Haouse yaurself. Ovér 7,000 have signéd the visitors' book sa far this seasan. Devitts of Blackstock Wé bavén't méntioncd thé beautiful Franz Johnson and Tam Thomson paintings on thé wails af thé halls, and drawings by C. W. Jéfirys, wham mast af us knaw as illustrator of aur school books. And béfaré wél icave thé subjéct with yau, we must mention one af thé éxhi- bits which is of local interést hère.

This is thé sévénth year for Huronia Hause Muséum.

Toothbrush, Denfisi Are Nol the Only Safeguards Needed Saving yaur tceth from dccay means marc than brushing them and fargétting thcmn, marc than seeing your dentist regularly for thorough check-up, insists the current issue of HEALTH. It aiso means eating wisely, with a view ta sound, bady-building- and sa tooth-buil&ing-foods. Herc is a six-point summary of dietary rulés tliat will hclp ta prevent taath decay. It is re- praduced by thé Héalth League of Canada from, 'Your Child and Mine", publishcd by the Dental Publie Heaith Committee of the Ontario Dental Association:- 1. Good, wholcsome food is as éssential ta buiid strang tceth as it is ta build strang muscles. 2. An appétite for sweet foods can be acquiréd by children at a vcry early age. Thereforé, it is essential ta refrain. from giving foads high in sugar content dur- ing childhood. 3. Childrén should flot con- sume candies, jam, chocolaté, or soft drinks, as thcy contain too much sugar. 4. Immediatciy after eating, food particles should bé remav- cd from. the téeth by tharough brushing and rinsing. This alone is known ta reduce decay by 50 ta 60 per cent. 5. If it is inconvénient ta brush tccth aftér eating, the mouth should be rinsed thoroughlyý with water or thé mcml should be finished with a cléansing food such as raw fruit. 6. Candies, jams, coakics or cakes are particularly harmful to tcéth when caten between meals or at bedtimé. ]KIRBY Thé August meeting of W.M. S. was held an Wédnesday even- ing August 5th with Mns. W.

Relishesl add zest to a meal, passessing a spicy tang that does just what their name implies. Vegetable relishes may be maist but flot juicy, since the chief ingredients shouid be firm rather than mushy.
