Circulation over 1100, Pricfl IB Canada $2.00 per year, warn paid in advance $1.60. In U. S. A. $t.60 per year when paid in advance $2.00 W. H. THURSTON. - - Editor F. J. THURSTON - Auoc. Editor EDITORIAL NOTES Th'w seems to be a very eventful year in municipal circles, as almost every point having elections have a large number of candidates in the running for various offices. It seems to be the unrest and wish for a change that brings out the candid- ates. Most of the papers coming into tihis office reports a fair year in Christmas buying, considering con- ditions. Some give the reason of reduced buying to the fart that there was no snow to arouse Christmas spirit, but our idea is that the buyers did not have the surplus cash to spend freely. The Aylmer Express suggests that the statute of Limitations be applied to war debts. If ordinary debts even have a small amount of interest paid during the six years the debt time is advanced from the date the pay- ment was made. It is likely that the nations interc-sted in war debt reparations would see that payment was made before the time expired. BrTTTKR PRICES FOR POULTRY Interesting results were achieved at the poultry fair at Napanee when it was estimated that at least $2500 was added to the cash value of some 16 tons of poultry marketed through the grading station operated in the Armouries there, and that fully $3,- 000 more was added to the cash value of poultry sold "on the street" dur- ing the Fair. The Napanee Fail showed conclusively that buyers will pay a premium for a product that is properly prepared for market and al*o that farmers can grade and pack their poultry with efficiency and do- : patch under the supervision of ex- perienced government assistants. For the fir?t time in the history of the Fsfir, poultry was "sold," not simply lelivcred to the buyer. The approxi- mate average price realized by mom- tiers participating in the pool, for the four top grades wa. 27c per pounr' net, while the fair average for corres- ponding quality at "street" value? was 20c to 21 c per pound. Equally important was the shnrp rise In prices "* '> market nn poultry moved into railing station. From around ,1 21t thpy moved to around 24c P* per pound. LINES TO A FRIEND To esteemed friendu upon the fortieth anniversary of their wedding day. While musing to-day in my moments of leisure I remember to you I have something to say, So these lines are to wish you the best in full measure, Thij annual return of your nuptual day. In the fair noon of life you stood at the altnr, And there with hearts buoyant you plighted your love; With trust in each other those hearts could not falter, The King was a witness in heaven above. O'er life's rugged roadway you've travelled together, To the thornr, that grew thickly you scarcely gave heed, But plucking the roscr. in foul and fair weather, You scattered their fragrance to others in need. Sometimes round about you dark shadows have clustered, And thickly the mists hovered over your way, But cheered by new visions fresh courage you mustered, And strength was supplied for the toils of each day. In the clouds that were lowering you saw silver lining. As adversity's winds swept them rumbling by, And then through those clouds burst the sun brightly shining, As the rainbow appeared in the east- ern sky. May He who in sunshine and storm has been near you, And guided your footsteps o'er moor- land and hill, Be constantly present to council and cheer you, And whisper "my promise I'll surely fulfill."

MeKENZIE OSLER FARM, XKAR MASKS PRACTICALLY STRIPPED OF CONTENTS Police Officer Robinson is investi- gating the theft of valuable furniture from the Osier farm, and hopes, in n hhort time, to locate the culprits. De- h;>itc every precaution thieves have Leon carrying away the contents of thi old house, until vcrv little re- mained, but last week practically cry article was removed.

Louis Schell, Albert Semple anil I.uther Rawn, all of Collingwood, are i-i Owen Sound jail charged with the theft. The trial will l.o held at Thorn- Lury on Friday, January 8th, at 8 p.m. Important Suggestions An article containing very valuable suggestions regarding agrk-ulturc in Ontario was recently prepared by Mr. A. R. G. Smith of New Hamburg president of the Ontario Field Crop and Seed Growers' A-ssojiation, anil hns appeared in a number of public- ations. Prominent among his rec- ommendations for improving agricul- ture are: The fencing of woodlots in order to kcvp live sto^k out and allow the baby trees to grow; the appoint- ment of a consulting (ort.iter from amongst the people of ea.h munici- pality, who could show people how to harvest many mature trees in Ontar- io's woodlots without diminishing the supply; continuation <>f the practice making land as clean as possible, In order to help maintain the soil fer- tility; and building up of herds of good producing live sto.-k to consume our agricultural produce. In conclu- sion Mr. Smith pays this tribute: "The farmer's wife and his family deserve great credit f(*r adjusting themselves to unbalanced conditions. Let us hold steady under trying con- ditions, and as Disraeli suggested, be ready when the opportunity comes." IN MEMORIAM HENDERSON In loving mem- ory of our mother, Jessie Henderson, who entered into rest on January 2nd, 1929.

OF THE (Sattablatt ilefrral AHsnriatuw XditixTbr CHANT FLEMING. M.D. ~ ASSOCIATE SECRETARY COLDS. INFLUENZA AND PNEUMONIA The infections of the respiratory tract which occur chiefly in winter are responsible for a great deal of dis- comfort, for much of the time lost from school and work, for many deaths, and for a great deal of per- manent damage to various parts of the bodies of those who recover. Unfortunately, there is no panacea to offer.. There is no specific mean-s of prevention available as there is for diphtheria. At present, we are in tihe position of having to place our dependence upon the general powers of resistance of a healthy body. So it is that we say to those who wish to do what they can in the way of prevention that they -should, during the winter, pay attention to those things which go to maintain the body in a condition of physical fitness. In the case of many, there is less exercise taken and as much, if not more food consumed in winter than in summer. This is another way of saying that over-eating, with which constipation is not infrequently assoc- iated, increases with the coming of :he cold weather, and this is one of the major reasons why we find lowered health in winter. Another common reason is that in several ways, excessive perspiration is set lip, which causes the under-cloth- ing to become damp. Under such conditions, when the individual goes out of doors into the cold, chilling re- sultB. This happens because, in gen- eral, we keep our homes and work- places much too warm. We dress according to the time of year rather than the temperature, and we find, among women particularly, the bad habit of keeping on indoors, the cloth- ing which they wear out of doors. The person who has developed the habit is keeping his hands away from his face, excepting when he is using a handkerchief, and who washes his hands thoroughly before he eats 01 prepares food, is fortunate. The hands of a person who is suffering from a cold are almost certain to be soiled with the nasal secretions, and so the infection is passed on to others. This is why we should wash our hands after :hey have come into contact with other hands. The person who is sick with a cold should stay at home. It is not fair for him to mingle with others and so spread the infection. Pneumonia, which is one of the most serious and fatal diseases, is very often the result of a neglected cold, and the frequency to its occurrence is a sufficient reas- on for taking care of the common cold. Health in winter and comparative freedom from respiratory diseases de- pend upon the manner of living and personal habits more than anything else. Fresh air and exercise are needed the year round. Attention to .liet, clothing and elimination will help to keep the body strong, healthy and resistant. IN MEMORIAM In loving memory of my dear twin sister, Minnie Galloway, who i!ied ;ix years ago, January 4, 1926. I have lost a dear companion, A life linked with my own, And day by day I miss her more, As I walk through life alone. In heaven dear sister I will find you; When God's great will is done, I will stand once more beside you, When He calls for me to come. Sadly missed by twin sifter, Ida. CARD OF THANKS To esteemed friend* upon the fortieth neighbors for their many acts of kindness shown us in our recent trouble. Mr. and Mrs. John Fcnwick Send The Advance to a friend. No Hard Times Many of the old pioneers laugh when we mention hard times and aug- ges* that instead of hard times we are in luxury. Some of them can recall when they did not have a bite of white bread to eat for months on end but lived on a ration of oatmeal and turnips or potatoes. If our re- lief committees offered any such rat- ion to the needy families of today it would be spurned aj an Insult and they would likely ask for a beef roast, breakfast cereal, fruit and can- dy. Alines may not be- as prosper- ous as they were a couple of yearb ago but we are still far removed from thi- time when the farmer carried hi-3 grist to the Begsboro mill ond carried the flour home again if he wanted bread.

Remember All work positively guaranteed 1 SUMMER HOMES should have this FIRE PROTECTION FAR from every hope of aid if a blaze takes hold, the inflammable construction of the average summer home makes it a source of danger and anxiety. Minimize the fire hazard by lining inside walls and ceilings with inexpensive Gyproc Wallboard that docs not burn. This building material is made from gypsum rock into sheets 4 to 10 feet long, 4 feet wide and y% of an inch thick. It nails and cuts as easily as lumber and with minimum waste. Find out from your dealer how inexpensive Gyproc is; how easy to erect. Ask him for full information about its application or request a direction sheet from him. Besides being fire-resistant, Gyproc has struc- tural strength and insulation value. It is also draught and vermin-proof. By panelling, you can save the expense of decoration, yet Gyproc is an excellent base for Alabastine, Gyptex or wallpaper.
