If it is a weak légiste tivè body it is certainly strong in spending money. If a check-rein is not put on the Roads committee there is evidence of a very large expenditure this year. On streets to be torn up in building waterworks only absolutely necessary repairs should be made. ' ■ .X y ; - ' ;• ' King Street shops have been getting a touching up with paint and polish.. Where is there a town of this size that can show mdre attractive shops than Bowmanville's main street ? • e • Typhoid fever lias appeared again and polluted'water gets the credit. It will be well to boil drinking water for a time yet as an excessive amount of surface water has got into the wells and the sooner they can . be . pumped out and a ' little lime thrown into them, the better.

Fairbairn, School Trustee, Toronto, to allow nurses of the Public schools to open a class on Saturdays for teaching girls the care of infants---washing, infants---washing, feeding, proper food, care of teeth, cleaning bottles, and all else that pertains ta the care ot young children. This is a. very practical idea and should bé ; Unanimously Unanimously adopted by the Board of Education. Education. How to care for babies' eyes when wheeling them out in carriages might be j added to the curriculum. Advertisings in The James Papers is effective. Recently we advertised for a customer $2000 to loan.* A customer was found the day after the paper came out. Last week we advertised a driving horse and inquiries have been reaching us day and night. The animal was quickly sold at a good price. Several other ads have borne satisfactory fruits lately. What is advertising? Telling others what you have to sell. The only way that you can tell the people of this district thru the press isin The James Papers which reach most of the homes. ; WEST DURHAM AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY The lecture in the-Methodist schoolroom schoolroom Friday evening by Prof. L.
