A Toronto despatch says: Ten- ders for the building of the new Ontario Veterinary College at the corner of University Avenue and Anderson Street have been award- ed. The excavation for the founda- tions of the new college has been finished and work will proceed forthwith. Mr. R. P. Fairbairn, De- puty Minister of Public Works, stated on Wednesday that he had every expectation that the new building would be ready for occu- pancy by the fall of 1913. It will be a vast improvement over the present building, both in size and equipment. Ample provision has been made to take care of the na- tural increase in students from year to year, as the new quarters will be fully fifty per cent. larger, and also allow for future exten- sion. The people of Ontario may be justly proud of their veterinary school, it being generally con- ceded the finest on the continent. eA A PITIFUL CASE. Mother Tries to Kill Herself and Children.

Wis STRUCK DERAILED FREIGHT. on | SMALLPOX BEING WIPED OUT Only Four Cases Reported in Ontario During the lonth of September. A despatch from Toronto says: Smallpox, the most dreaded of all infectious diseases, has practically been wiped out of Ontario. Not so many years ago smallpox epidemics resented a serious problem for the iealth authorities of the province, but the vigorous campaign waged against it has steadily reduced the number of cases until last month only four people were afflicted. This, according to Dr. J. W. 8. McCullough, is the lowest record for any month in the thirteen years accurate returns have been com- piled. Whooping cough and measles were prevalent during September, she total being nearly four times that of September last year; but on the whole the province had an im- proved bill of health. Infantile patalysis is still claim- ing a comparatively large number of victims.

A despatch from Ottawa says: That the city of Ottawa is liable for damages for every case of typhoid fever in the two local epidemics is the opinion given by City Solicitor McVeity in an official communica- tion to the City Olerk on Thursday. In the 1911 epidemic there were 1,- 100 cases and 83 deaths. In the epi- demic this year the cases numbered 1,150, and the deaths 60.

Fichus are increasing in size; some of them almost cover the bo- dice of the gown. Large buttons and buttonholes form an effective trimming on the new suits this fall. Among the new coats, khaki col- ored cloth with heavy revers of black velvet is seen. Bracelets of black velvet clasped with diamond buckles are worn ra- ther high up on the arm. Among the favored buttons are ball buttons, white brocade buttons and concave amber buttons. Full and fussy frills, Pierrot ruf- fles and other frivolities in the way of neckwear are losing favor. Bright colored Japanese bows at the back of colored ceintures are especially effective on a plain black or white gown. Some of the newest coats of black taffeta and satin are cut away sharply from the bust with a long pointed tail at the back. Bright ruby, scarlet, brick red, mulberry, geranium, carnation and cherry, are the bright splashes of oor used on the new winter mod- els. The novelty color this season is yellow, and many evening dresses show yellow material, toned down by lace or other subdued trim- mings. ; Armlets in an odd color to match the bright colors used at the waist give an original touch to some of the more elaborate toilettes de soiree. Aigrettes of feathers do not stand up this season, but are posed flatly in several places on the hat, one generally standing well out from the brim. All frocks will have close-fitting guimpes made to cover the neck up to the ears. For these much of the metallic thread and embroidery will be used. New muffs for the winter are com- posed entirely of fur. The combina- tion of satin and fur, which was used so much last winter, is a thing of the past. Much attention is being shown to black laces. This is especially true of the handsome Chantilly bands and flouncings which are used over colored silks. Ma sie MEDICINAL PLANTS RUINED. English Stock Will Be Very Short This Year. The growing of peppermint, lav- ender, camomile and other medici- nal plants, a little known, but valu- able English industry, has been hard hit by the recent storms and floods which have devastated the low lying counties of England. The E se oils of peppermint and lav- ender are exported to all parts of the world where they bring larger prices than other varieties because of the peculiar delicacy of their flavors and aromas. The dry weather in the late spring was unfavorable for plant- ing, and the cold summer with its heavy rainfall ruined the harvest. As a result very little oil will be distilled, and dealers have been warned to beware of the adultera- tion which unscrupulous exporters may resort to in an attempt to sup- 823 137 894 147 places on the law.

The total immigration from Great Britain for this fiscal year up to the end of August was 95,142, as compared with 91,857 for the corresponding period last year, an increase of 3,825. During May immediately following the Titanic disaster there was a falling off of twelve per cent. on the arrivals from Great Britain, which the im- migration authorities attribute to the apprehension raised in the minds of intending immigrants as to the safety of the Atlantic pas- sage.
