A repre- sentative 'of the Times was able to witness yesterday owe of the won- ders which God performed, whila interviewing a former resident of this city, Mrs. A. Fife of Toronto, who is visiting' her niece, Mrs. G. A. Wesson, Brock street west. Mrs, Fife celebrates her seventy-fourth birthday in the city tomorrow. She came to' Oshawa fifty-seven years ago and until a year ago could re- call very little of her early life here. Suffering from a serious ill- ness about a year ago memories of early days in Oshawa came back to Mrs. Fife while confined to her bed and since then ghe had reeall- ed many interesting reminiscences of this city, of more than half a century ago. Mrs. Fife came to Oshawa from Toronto to work in a hat factory here. The factory on Centre street where the work of the' Schofield Woollen Mill is now carried on, was built originally: az a hat fac- ory. Prior to the erection of the factory Mrs. Fife recalls the sew- ing of the hats was done in a small frame church, which was later re- moved to a site opposite the Centre street school, and in which pulpit the Rev. Dr. McGill preached. This church was known. as the M. E. church. The situation of the civic build- ings at the time of Mrs. Fife's coming to Oshawa was decidedly different from the present time. The. post office stood at that time where the uptown station of the Oshawa Railway, the corner of Simcoe street south and Athos street, now stands. The fire hall and the jail were at that time on Centre street. Mrs. Fife recalled with a great deal of humor an in- cident which oceurred to Mr. Prin- gle, the constable of that time, Mr. Pringle had some prisoners sta- tioned in the jailhouse and while giving them their daily rations one day found the situations had been reversed, Pringle was the prison- When your Children Cry for It Baby has little upsets at times. All your care cannot prevent them. But you can be prepared. Then you can do what any experienced nurse would do--what most phy- gicians would"tell you to do--give a few drops of plain Castoria. No sooner done than Baby is soothed; relief is just a matter of moments, Yet you have eased your child without use of a single doubtful drug; Castoria is vegtable. So it's safe to use as often as an infant hag any little pain you cannot pat away. And it's always ready for the crueler pangs of colic, or con- stipation, or diarrhea; effective, too, for older children. Twenty=- five million bottles were bought last year. a Ve TVA CASTORIA Range of A Big Dresses at $9.75 See Our 'ine The Fashion Shoppe im: 8 Years Ago Recalled by Mrs. A. Fife er and the others were free men. By some unknown means they had been able to get Pringle into the cell and they escaped. ~The rope from the fire bell hung just oyt~ side the cell and by reaching through the bars the constable was able to reach the rope and summon help, A humorous poet of the day sot material from this incident for a Jong sonnet, which Mrs. Fife re- called. The opening lines of this humorous sonnet were: "Down in the dungeon poor Pringle stands, Grasping the bars with his thin bony hands"--This is but-one of many incidents of this sort which comes. back to the mind of this aged lady. According to the winters which Mrs. Fife lived through in the nine- teenth century, there is little room left for us to complain of the cold weather. Fifty years ago one could ride from the Four Corners down to the Grand Trunk station, now the Canadian National, on a bus driven by Louis Serbert, and one could not see across the road for the snow piled so high on the sides, was the statement of Mrs. Fife. One of the stores at this time was known as "store number one" and was owned and managed by the late Mr. Fowke, father of Mr. I. L. Fowke, King street easr. Mrs. Fife was married in Osh- awa fifty-five years ago by Rev. W. H. Laird, and the licefise which was issued to Mr. Fife was the first two dollar license issued in Oshawa. From that time until sev- enteen years ago, Mrs. Fife lived in this city, when she left for South, Bend, Indiana, and from there to Toronto, where she is now living. Mrs. Fife has retained all her faculties with the exception of her hearing. She is hale and hearty and was the guest of honor this af- ternoon at a birthday party. CLAREMONT INSTITUTE The monthly meeting of the Claremont Women's Institute was held Wednesday afternoon. The meeting opened with the Institute Ode. A committee was appointed re-medical school inspection, To thke the place of the meeting addressed by the department speak- er, there will be a three days' course on Instruction in Household Science Judging, which includes "Nutrition", "Good Dressing" and "Nursing." A paper was giv- en, "Making Meal Time a Pleasant Hour," not only by nourishing the body, but feeding the mind. Con- fucius said that a single talk across thé table with a wise man, was better than ten years' study of books. Good food tastefully served no matter 'how simple, combined with humor and courtesy, adds to the pleasant hour. . Current Events were well pre- sented. Roll Call response was also by a current event. The program was Interspersed with music, Helpful Hints for Harassed Housewives Rl Fresh milk bottles and fruit jars call for one of the inexpensive bot- tle brushes. Their long handles make the task an easy one, In summer, also one should be care- ful to rinse out the can after any fruit or vegetable is emptied out, before throwing the can in the gar- bage. * * ¥ Hedges shoud receive some at- tention in early spring. Clean them out thoroughly, loosen the dirt around their roots and trim them evenly so all branches get an equal start. + * . When reheating rolls or biscuits, they will be crisp and nicely brown- ed if you dip them quickly under the water faucet and pop the pan holding them into a very hot oven for a short time. To prevent grease spilled onto a white kitchen table from sinking into the wood sprinkle the spots immediately with coarse salt. The next time you bake an angel cake, use extract of rose instead of vanilla and -you will pronounce it a pleasing change. Among the interesting mew oil- cloth displays are charming screens.

If this method fails to remove the stains rub gently with finely powdered pumice stone and water.

Beautiful Women Free of Skin Cancer Toronto, April 20.--Beautiful women rarely contract cancer of LJ LJ CARROTS EN CASSEROLE Six new carrots, 1 tablespoon butter, 1 teaspoon sugar, 1 tea- spoon galt. The sauce is made with 2 tablespoons butter, 2 tablespoons flour, 1 cup milk, #% tablespoon lemon juice, salt and pepper, bread crumbs. Scrape carrots and cut in slices. Put into a buttered casserole, sua butter, sugar and salt and % cup boiling water. Cover closely and cook in a hot oven for thirty niin- utes. Melt butter, stir in flour and gradually add milk, stirring con- stantly. Add lemon juice, salt and pepper, and pour over carrots in the skin. No less an authority than Dr. Joseph Colt Bloodgood, renown- ed cancer specialist, of Johns Hop- kins university, vouches for the truth of the statement. But Dr, Bloodgood, who is lecturing here, does not claim that beauty itself is responsible for this comperative immunity. Instead, he awards the palm to beauty parlors. "Beautiful women," he says, "do not neglect a mole, wart or naevus. It any irritation appears on the skin, they give it immediate attes.- tion, The daily care of the skin and its cleanliness prevents rough areas appearing or the accumulae tion of dirt on rough areas. Ig- norance and dirt are the chief causes which allow local lesions ou the skin to become cancer." Dr. Bloodgood assails the popu- lar belief that cancer is, to its vice tims, as inevitable as "death and taxes," and his citation of the com- parative immunity of beautiful woe men from one variety of the afflic- tion, 1s merely in proof of the fact that cancer is preventable, ho points out. "Fear the beginning. and not the end of cancer," he urges. CNC NL NENT PT NENTS?
