It is an economical source of energy for those who work with either head or hands. It is also most easily digested. There are many reasons, indeed, why people should eat more fish. The chief one is that it is Good Food, Appetizing and Economical At this season of the year fish can be purchased in specially fine condition and at reasonable prices. Our stock comprises a big variety. Our shipment of fresh fish comes in regularly.

Anthracite coal veins vary greatly in richness, freedom from faults, and lie, favorably or unfavorably to mining operations. Anthracite coal as mined contains much rock, slate, bone, clay or other impurities, and therefore requires extensive preparation preparation at the collieries prior to its shipment. This preparation calls for powerful machinery and mechanical devises, the maintenance maintenance and operation of which is extremely expensive, but, of course, necessary in order that coal may be in first class condition condition when permitted to go forward.

Queen and Division Streets. Telephone No. 153. Bowmanville,I Ont. m BOWMANVILLE, MAR. 2, 1916. NO* 906 • February has been a real winter month with very heavy snowfall. The first bad drifting was on Sunday last when country roads filled up so that considerable shoveling had to be done. Country churches were hard hit, no services being held at several appoint ments. Town churches were only slimly attended; principally old people were present in the morning, the weather being too inclement for young men and women. Physio-scientists tell us that a wind-storm is very wholesome to humans who go out properly clothed, a wind bath being equal to sun or water bath in healthgiving healthgiving benefits. This may explain why elderly people who face all weathers weathers enjoy such good health. Of course, the young people of this aesthetic age are not expected to expose their frail bodies to all weathers. TO POTATO GROWERS. We urge farmers to immediately reserve potatoes for seed purposes. These should be hand selected tubers, sound and free from any sign of decay, of uniform size and pure in variety. Tubers slightly larger than.a hen's egg are most economic for seed. They should be kept _ until planting time in a dark, well-ventilated and cool place of storage, spread out in a layer not more than three potatoes deep, Farmers who have a good quantity of sound seed potatoes on hand, will obtain a high price for them, when others begin to realize the scarcity of such seed, says the Dominion Botanist. OUR COUNTRY EDITORS. We have often been proud of our staff of "fresh-air editors" or as some call them in war times "unattached members of the .editorial staff." They do not write up a lot of trashy nonsense and send it in as country news. That others appreciate their work and commend it is shown by this excerpt taken from the Orono News correspondence from Bowmanville last week : We notice in the country correspondence correspondence what a difference there is in the news sent in. The village correspond ence to the north of this town seem to be more of a religious turn of mind. They send Epworth League doings,tell of special sermon by the pastor, or an address by a Dominion Alliance man, or a report of delegates to Sunday School Convention, and so on. Those west of us are along same line but more of good-sport character character and enjoy a good game of hockey or base ball. Those east of us, Port Hope way, have- nothing much in the line of news except that some man has secured a job in the Rubber Works. The north eastern part of the county is where you get the social news of dances until the wee sma 'ours, basket socia s, the number that attended the dance at John Blank's, the youth who got lost driving around a ten acre field, and so on.
