London, Jan. 17.--Members of parliament and men high in govern- ment circles are carrying out the strictest of wartime economy in their own households, "We are cutting down Indoors and out by putting an end to all luxury," writes § peeress. "My husband and I are without maid or valet, tobaceo, spirits, sweets, chocolates, theatres, motoring, traveling, holidays, visit- ing, entertaining, shooting, horses, sq are enoulsing Ar the utmost 0 the matter of clothing and even- ing dress." Another letter, also from the wife of a member of the house of lords, says: "The castle has been closed and ouly a few rooms in oné corner are occupied. We have ourselves moved into smal} rooms, having dis missed all the staf except four of the older women servants, The firé- places have been rearra and coal-savers put in. Out of doors no man eligible for the army hus been retained, Only gitls are now em- ployed in the gardens, where pota- toeg are grown in the flower beds and the lawns used for hay. The stock of deer in the park is being system- atleally redu for food supply."

A short time prévious {to the election a letter appeared in {the columns of the Whig and Stand- ard, written presumably by a town- ship ratepayer, which impressed me very much. He stated that he would be willing to wager dollars to dough- nuts that if the eleven candidates of- fering not more than four were guali- | fied for the position to which they as- pired, designating the balance as dead men or dummies, and stating that chances were that the majority of the board would be composed of the lat- ter class. Now I am very sorry to have to acknowledge that his pre- dictions seem to be only too true as subsequent events at the first meet- ing of the board verifies, namely, the appointment to the office of assessor. There were two qualifications, one from Mr. Binnington for the sum of $75, the other from Henry Melvor for $60. It was moved by Deputy Reeve Stover, seconded by Councillor G. A. B, Clark, that Mr. Binnington receive the appointment, which was carried. Mr. Meclvor's application was ignored, although he is consider- ed competent to fill any pesition in the gift of the municipality, and has filled them all with the exception of the reeveships, and I honestly believe if a man of his calibre had been at the helm some seven or eight years since our township -affaira would be in a different condition than they are to-day. Now in face of the facts just stat- ed I think an explanation is due the township ratepayers why the services of Mr. Binnington, an unexperienced man, are worth $15 more than Mr. Meclvor's, *Now I contend that a body of representatives who throw $15 of public money away wilfully will do the samie thing with larger amounts if it suits their purpose, and that they do not comprehend the meaning of the declaration of office they take, and the sooner the previous writer's suggestion that a penalty of $50 or $100 be imposed on any elector who nominates or seconds an ineligible takes effect the better it will be for the ratepayers of our township. According to my way of thinking, the dead men took office for 1917 and the live men were sent home. My own personal ballot, and I think it should have been the ballot of the majority if they considered where their timber was to come from for future use, was marked for 'he los- ers, namely, Sproule, Heaton, Me- Ivor, Moulay and Pillar, all qualified men both physically and mentally and independent thinkers; in fact, they would be a credit to any muni- cipality who was fortunate enough to secure their services as a body. Four of these men have had experience ranging from two to four years each as councillors. The other, Mr. Mouldy, has succeeded in his busi- ness, placing himself by his own ef- forts in a position to enjoy leisurely Hfe's comforts at a comparatively young age and would have been a good aquisition to the board. In justice to Reeve Coulter, I un- derstand he acted fairly as regards the appointrient, inquiring if there was to be any other resolutions be fore he declared the motion carried. Waiting patiently for an explanation from the other four te see whether they deserve the appellation of live or dead men, and thanking you for the space accorded, I am, respectfully [yours TOWNSHIP RATEPAYER. | | Discussed the New Act, Battersea, Jan. 16.--(To the Rdi- tor): On cher ay, Jan, ing there way a lan ering of the farmers me! to rh er. Publow, of the Dairy- men's Association, discuss the new act that the Government has passed to take in milk at the cheese factories by test instead of the pooling system, as has been the custom. The writer was very much interest- loa by the address Mr. Publow made, and cannot see why there should be NN------ N society, start at the least noise and are generally fatigued. On the first sign of the heart be- coming weakened or the nerves un- strung, Milburn's Heart and Nerve Pills should be taken. They are just what you require at this time. They regulate and stimulate the heart, and strengthen and restore the whole nerve system, Mrs. C. M; Cormier, Buctouche, N.B., writes: "Since two years ago 1 was troubled with a shortness of breath, and sometimes I could hardly breathe. 1 went to see several doc- tors and they said it was from my heart and nerves, but they did not Seem to do me any good. One day I got one of your B.B.B. Almanacs and read of a case similar to mine. "I bought a box of Milburn's Heart and Nerve -Pills, and after taking it | noticed such a change that I kept on taking them until I had used four more boxes, when I was cured." Milburn's Heart and Nerve Pills are 50¢ a box, three boxes tor $1.25, at all dealers, or mailed direot on receipt of price by The T. Milburn Co., Limited, 'oronto, Ont, any objection made to the act going into force. It surely must be the right way to get pay, as the milk tested, according to Mr. Publow's statement, one-third of the farmers are delivering milk to the "factory that will not turn out cheese. Con- sequently two-thirds of the farmers are being trimmed to that extent. Now the Governments of our country have in past years paid instructors to go around to the different factories testing and found this to be the case, and many fines have been paid. But as this will not stop the traffiing going on, which is so easy for the careless farmer to do, ides rob- bing his neighbor that puts in good quality milk and destroys the quality of cheese. 'The writer thinks it time legislation was put into effect to take milk in by the Babcock test, that al} patrons get their just right. After Mr. Publow answered all questions that were asked him by » number of the farmers, all to their satisfaction, he asked a voice of the meeting whether they were in favor of the act going into force. Then one farmer at once moved a motion that the Government be asked to lay over the passing of the act until after the war. It has been talked among the farmers that a certain farmer has been dealing in pure-bred cattle, had eight of them for $300, and due to ti act going into force cancelled his order, Is he or other pure-bred dealers afraid of the test® Then what condition is the milk of several prominent farmers in when delivered to their factory? Have they been in the habit of ha@ag their milk in the barn yard or cow stable over night without giving it the pro- per cooling, as milk_should have im- mediately after milking, either by putting in well or cold water tanks in & sanitary place? If not, then their milk would not test up. I am mysell a large farmer and very anxious to see the new act en- forced, as I believe it will be for the benefit of every farmer.--COUNTY FARMER. ------ The Milk Question. Kingston, Jan. 16.--(To the Edi- tor): I am glad to see that the Wo- men's Canadian Club is interesting itself nthe milk by-law, and has asked council to provide for its em- forcement. Some of the dealers already take great cre to supply pure and whole- some milk, and they would welcome a strict enforcement of the by-law. If there are any that wish to be allow- ed to supply dirty or inferior milk while the same price, the citizens in general as well as the care- ful dealers, are interested in prevent- ing their doing so. & « Connell in his paper before the Women's Canadian Club has reiter- ated in part what I wrote in the local Press somewhat over two months ago. It is well to have the subject discuss- ed in seasdn and out of season until Kingston not only has a good by-law, ut a hi © very t in Canada.----JOHN "ADDELL.

She Mixed Salphur With It To Restore Color, Gloss, Youthfulness. Common garden sage brewed into a heavy tea with sulphur added, will turn gray, streaked and faded hair beautifully dark and luxuriant. Just a few applications will prove a revel- ation it your bair is fading, streaked or gray. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sulphur recipe at home, though, is troublesome. An easier way is to a 50-cent bottle of Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound at any drug store all ready for use. This is the old time recipe improved by the ad- dition of other ingredients ' While wispy, gray, faded bair is not sinful, we all desire to retain our youthful appearance and attractive- ness. By darkening your hair with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com- pound, on one can tell, because it does it so naturdlly, so evenly. You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morning all gray hairs have disappeared, and, after another application or two, your hair be- comes beautifully dark, glossy, soft and luxuriant. This preparation is a delightful toilet requisite and is not intended for the cure, mitigation or preven- tion of disease. Brock street, left on Monday to visit friends in Sydenham. Mr. and Mrs. T.
