Monet's: One can of ' corn and one can of to- matoes for 20c¢, and ~ Neglect is Incipient 0 Murder From The Farmer's Magazine. The Women's Institute of Ontario *are calling the attention of the farmers most effectively to the discouraging conditions under which the majority of women do their work. -| The farmer of former days who stinted his table and counted every match that was used, is looked upon by the farmer of to-day as a "tight-wad " of the most despicable kind. Un- fortunately many heads of households who think themselves generous are guilty of things quite as bad as the meanness of a former generation. . Many a farmer lives in a house poorly ventilated, poor- ly heated. and most unhandy in every particular. The pump and cistern are outside and away from the house. The out- | buildings require a very strong constitution in the cold and stormy days. Hundreds of extra steps have to be taken by the wife in her daily duties, while her sleeping apartment is not as well regarded in the matter ot fresh air, as the box stalls for the cows and colts. A new silo has to be built; the barn foundation must be Put up; a ram or gasoline operated pump must be installed to get the water to the well-cared-for stock. No expense for the pigs is considered too much. Tlie orchard has its barrels of lime sulphur und fertilizers regularly applied. The rotation of crops takes time and money. Machinery for every operation must be purchased at once. The wagon, whose creaking wheels annoy, must be replaced by a new one. Only the patient wife, whose wheels never roan, and the growing fam- ily whose limbs are tireless in the treadmill of useless labor about the house--only these can wait. These are only human blood and bones and realize no immediate dollars to buy more land or swell the bank account, perchance to be gobbled up some fine day by a mining scheme of a bogus cold storage | flotation. Even the social side of life must be built up at the ex- pense of the physical. The 'seven-year-old daughter must ave her piano and take music lessons. Like the southern boy in the story, if she has not the capacity therefor, it must be acquired or purchased. The new top buggy and showy driver seem a necessity.

In the first place there are the sidewalks that are beiug laid. WwW. Reach Council Met at Manchester, on Monday, July 10, all members present, the Reeve in the chair. Minutes of last meeting read and approved COMMUNICATIONS H. Palmer is busy with his men at this extensive job. There will be very little sidewalk to build here| in five years, if future Courcils' build as much each year as is being ' put down this season.

How can life be ministered to better than in preventing disease which are now largely caused by neglect, overwork and exposure. The matter of fresh air, properly prepared food and convenient water, heat and light conveniencies on the farm are receiving proper consideration. Save the women and children in the farm home. RR "lurrible Ignorance" With no apologies to anyone, Dooley or anybody else. "I see be thim Tory papers," says Shaughnessy. '* that Reciprocity with the States is a bad thing intirely, If we do more trade we shall be poorer. says they. It'll ruin the many- facterer if the farmers gits free trade in "nateral producks." It'll tear the Union Jack from the summer risorts it we swap any more hosses with thim Yanks than we are swappin' now. It's no use, we can't hang onto the old lag any longer, a tew more hosses'll bust the connection." ** Thim is wurrds o" wisdom," youse beleeve them, Shaughnessy?" "I doo II" says Shaughnessy. " More than that if we keep on truckin' an' tradin' with thim Yanks, fust thing we shajl be married to thim. So there ye are. Let me say it agin an' say it slower. If we hev a bigger market an' do more trade, we shall be poorer. an' we shall fall in luv with the feller that's robbin' us, an' 'the feller'll quit hollerin' down our rain barrel, playin' in our back yard. or slidin' down our cellar door, or makin' mud pies on our lawn; and we shall be proud ot our Uncle Sam. and he will luv us, an' be here an' not here, ruinin' our trade and spendin' no.money on us. Then in the days of our prosperous proverty we shall forgit our Old Mither that gave us jam whin we wus small, and shall marry the feller whats spilin' our trade, marry him by wireless.

Lake weeds are to be removed this year sure. Councillor Hutch- eson is chasing up the Government weed hook, and as soon as it is we are likelv to have weeds in the Lake for a number of seasons, it might not be amiss to secure a hook for exclusive use here. Next a pavilion is to be built at the water-fropt. The resolution is passed, the committee appointed to earry itout, and, as the members of that committee mean business, we may expect to see that pavilion forthwith. If it could be arranged to have in connection with it a small, but clean, dressing room for bathers so much the better. | Last, but by no means least, is the sanitary by-law that is to be | passed, to be enforced by a proper- ly paid inspector. If the towns- | people knew the filthy conditions! that we are living in a fool's para- | dise so far as sanitation is con- cerned. In case of a typhoid epi- demic conditious are serious enough to cause alarm. It is to be hoped that this matter'will rot be left so long that a big price is paid for our neglect and indifference. , Every day complaints are made of pigs kept contrary to law, clos- ets unclcaved, and sewage running imo the Lake. These things should be stopped at once or the results may make mourning in more than one home, particularly in such weather as we are having just now.
