Staves Too Early Tha majority of councillors, al- though agreeing with the principle of daylight saving, were of the opinion that it should not start until a month later. They felt, however, that in order to avoid con- fusion the suggeston of the Rail- wav Association should be follow- ed, "We should incorporate this in the farmer's agreement," Council- lor Deverell commented laughing- ly, "This daylight saving scheme is meant to allow our deputy reeve tn nlay baseball," joked Councillor Reid. Deputy Reeve Bowman favored daylieht saving for the summer months hut thought that it should commence in June and be discon- tinued early in September, Reeve J. M. Kenny declared that Whithy would have to act in accord with other municipalities and upon mo- tion of Deputy Reeve Bowman, seconded by Reeve menny it was decided to comply with the sugges- tion of the railway board. No Clz2im on the Town A communication was received from the Gloke Indemnity Co, gtating that the company had con- pidered a claim from W. J. Scott, of Toronto, for damage wv ms car when it skidded on Dundas street and smashed against a telephone pole. The company stated that there was no evidence that the town had been negligent and that in the opinion of 11s rawyers Mr, Scott did not have a just claim against the municipality. Declaring that statements alleg- ed to have been made before the council by Mr. Joseph Mitchell with regard to the assessment of his farm property were incorrect, F, H, Annes addressed the couneil last night. He denied that he had se- cured a reduced assessment for his property and showed uis assess- ment notices giving a valuation of $1200 for 22 acres and a valuation of $2800 for another parcel of 48 acres, In view of these figures he claimed that his assessment for farm land was as high as any other fermer and jn many instances higher.

Councillors Reid and Dever- ell protested but in vain, Finding themselves outnumbered they hint. ed darkly that they would bring sandwiches and milk to the next council mee ing and thug console themse.ves for a lost privilege. History has a tendency to repeat itself however and last night's resolution might be regarded as a perencial blossom which thrives early in the year and then droops under a cloud of smoke, MARKET GARDEN COURSE AT WHITBY Four Day School to Be Held Next Month, Open to All Interested Port Whitby; and Bill Poulton, Kingston road cast.

The President, Mrs. J. Clarke Bell, was in the chair and after the singing of the National An- them, called on the secretary, Mrs. J. H. H. Jury, to read the minutes of the last meeting. There being no further business, tea was served with Mrs. W. J. Morrison as hostess. Tea was poured by Miss A. Bleakly. Mrs. Bell announced that on ac- count of fliness, the speaker for the afternoon, Mrs. Waagen, was unable to be present. A substitute was to be sent but word was received shortly before the time of the meeting that the party had missed the train. This left the president very little oppor- tunity to provide a program, but with her usual willingness to help out on all occasions, gave a reading, "The Ballad of Blasphemous Bill," by Robert Service, to the delight of all present. The rest of the afternoon was spent in a social way by the la- dies So far there are more than 200 divorce cases to be heard at Ottawa so that divisions in the house threaten to be outnumbered by voree committee.~--~Brantford Ex- positor. Liosering Colds Play Havoc in System Weakened By Flu Physicians advise that the chief danger of this year's epidemic lies in the after-effects. Colds attacking the weakened system so often lead to bronchitis, sinus trouble, pneu- monia, or even meningitis. This is especially true of children or old folks. These colds must be checked im- mediately. And yet too much dos may upset the digestion which is' already disturbed by the toxins of influenza. Vicks VapoRub is especially valu- able here. As it is applied exteru- ally, it can be used freely at the first sign of a cold without upset- ting the most delicate don.
