[i | put them to bed at the hour of nine (day-light saving time) it ia still light and the shouts of their playmates come in through the open window and they get fresh air but tor seme hours no sleep. If 1 close the win- dow the noise is deadened but What is the air like? I have tried in every possible way to solve the problem but still fail to have my school children sleep the res quired hours, To some children the effect may be drowsiness but to mine it seems ugliness and af increased desire for activity, By all means the mothers, at least, should uphold our Inspector's stand for the welfare of our children Sincerely, A Mother, ---- ---- ANNIVERSARY MARKED BY UXBRIDGE 0OUPLE Uxbridge, Sept, 10.--Mr, and Mrs, Walter Lapp of Uxhridge will on Tuesday next, celebivate their golden wedding anniversary, which will be observed with a family re union at their home, Prior to set. ting in Uxhridge elghteon years ago, Mr. Lapp farmed in Seott Township, which he gave up to en- ter the sead and grain business in which he is atil]l actively eugagea For ssveral years he way a memher of the Uxbridge Town Counell, ana was Mayor fn 1016 and 1917, Hive of Fach : Baldwins--A.
