It is proposed to re- place it with a larger building, one it] sixty by €ixty feet, in order to pro- vids additional storage. Some of the material in the old building may be utilized, 'but some new timber, about sevonty-five pieces, should be ordered during the winter season.

Dr. Mundell was at Parham on Mon- day night, investigating the cause of death of John Carroll, laborer, found dead on Sunday night with bruises upon his person. The coroner found that Carroll had been drinking and had fallen and injured himself, and hence he decided that his death was due to natural causes and an inquest was unnecessary. Carroll was about fifty years of age. He leaves a wife and family either in Kingston or in the United States. e-------- Must | Pay Five Per Cent.

She began to improve immediately and gained half a pound the first week. "Baby got her indigestion from me for my digestive organs have always been weak. 1 rely on' Grape-Nuts for most of my food for there are times when I can eat nothing else at all-but Grape-Nuts. 1 am steadily improving and: know it will entirely cure me in time. 1 mover have 'that tired feeling' anymore. 1 cat Grapo-Nuts and 1 feel its effects in improved mental strength very forcibly."

He presented a resolution at the council meeting last night providing for the holding of all committee meetings on or before the Wednesday preceding council meetings, so that reports may be obtained in time to be printed and distributed. The resolution also pro- vided for the calling of all meetings by postal notice, instead of by band delivered notices, in force since time immemorial. Council gladly accepted both suggestions.
