A dry sob was in her throat. A sad. drowning accident oc-! curred on Sunday which broughtl grief to the home of Mr. and Mrs.‘ Fred. Ellis, 9th line, St. Vincent. Their youngest son, Levi, had been visiting «during the day Wth a cousin, Walter Ellis, son of Mr.‘ and Mrs. Elm-er Ellis, and the two had been playing around the shore . in the neighborhood, of the Jay? property, on the 7th line. The two boys, both about 10 years of age [sighted a raft, and became seized with a desire to go in swimming. After being in the water for some little time, Levi was clinging to :1 log, which suddenly rolled oVer and the boy disappeared, to be seen no more. The other boy. seized with fright, left his com- panion and returned home early in the afternoon. Upon being ques- tioned as to his cousin’s where- .abouts, he gave many evasive an- iswers, and was apparently afraid gto say anything that would lead to his recovery. The parents be- came very anxious about their son and about midnight his churn told them that he had fallen off the. log into the water.

THERE IS MORE CATARRH IN this section of the country than all other dine-ales put tOgether, ani for years it was supposed to be incurable. Doctors prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure it with local traet- ment, pronounced it incurable. Ca- tarrh is a local disease, greatly influenced by constitutional con- ditions and therefore requires con- stitutional treatment. Ball’s Ca- tarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J Cheney 00., Toledo, Ohio, is a constitutional remedy, is taken in- iternally, and acts through the Blood on the Mucous Surfaces of the System.

Thus the success or failure in either home canning or factory can- ning of vegetables depends upon steri- lization. This is not true in the same way of fruit because fruit requires less 6:- here sugar and this witfi the fruit acid helps to prevent the growth of bacteria. The standard for complete steriliza- tion in the bacteriological laboratory consists either in heating the material under 15 pounds steam pressure for 15 minutes or for boiling in an open boiler for one hour on each of three successive days. The steam pressure is quick and effective, but not many homes as yet have invested in a home pressure sterilizer. The lowest priced one obtainable will cost about $20. However, the slower process of boil- ing is just as effective. The first hour kills all living germs but the spores or seeds are very insistent, and they may survive. It so they will grow into germs inside the next 24 hours, especially if they are kept warm. The second boiling kills these or in many cases the spores can be killed by two hours’ continuous boil- ing at the same time. After three hours nothing is left alive. Much less time may do in many cases. but in canning either corn, peas or meat it is not wise to limit the time much since extra heating does no harm and may be the means of preventing fail- Danger From Stoves Without Safe and Proper Chimneys A sequence of the annual spring housecleaning period in the home is e exodus of cooking stoves and bases to the summer kitchens. This removal involves a considerable fire risk. The summer kitchen naturally suggests a building of more or less flimsy construction, usually a frame lean-to without a prOper chimney. Too often the stovepipe through wall or too! serves as smoke outlet, without even protection of the surrounding woodwork. The same‘ care should be exercised with stoves and ranges in summer as in winter. Woodwork should be protected by sheet metal, with at least two inches of air space between the metal and woodwork. Sheet metal should also be placed under the stove, projecting sufficient- â€"â€"â€".â€"â€"â€" 1y to overcome the danger from live coals falling upon the floor. . Proper and safe chimneys ,should be provided, and, where necessary for pes to go through frame partition . etal thimbles, provided with ven- . tilated air spaces, should be used. In- § aurance companies will not knowingly ', accept as a risk any building in which totovepipes issue through roof or side- ‘walls. Should such a condition be established and a fire occur from this ‘cause, the companies are not called upon to pay the loss, the policy be- ;Lng void. It is therefore of the ut- =most importance to provide safe I . ;equipment for stoves 1n summer kit- ? chens.

Dingman leisure hours, result of our observations is t‘~ t the optimists have it. Borden is a great military camp, in the mak- ing, it may be true, but fast has-’- tening to completion. One silver- haired civilian visitor of Amencan' birth, to whom we talked, put me case aptly when he said: ‘What would. the kickers have had to say if they were compelled to face. conditions that existed even as late as the Spanish-American War. to say nothing of the Rebellion?’ “As to Camp Borden itself. In a limited article such as this is it is impossible to attempt descrlp- tions. And this has been done ny the spaceâ€"fillers in the daily press. The Writer is not qualified to speak as one having knowledge of military camp-s, though we have seen several, both in Canada and elsewhere. We would rather give ence. We talked to a brigadier who has seen service at the front‘ to the C. .O’s. of three or four bat- talions, to the brigade-major, who happened to be an old friend. Founded on the opinion of these men we will say that Camp Bor- den is a great camp and, in a month it is going to be the greatâ€" est aâ€"nd finest military camp in the world. Those were the exact words of our own Capt. Wake, a veteran soldier if there is one at Borden. We prefer his judgment to Tommy Church’s. ‘ . ' T\ L “It isn’t finished?" Quite cor-} rect.

And. it will in our opinion be a hundred per cent. still more satisfactory by four weeks from to-day. A hundred thousand men can be accommodated on the property. There is room to drill them and train them as would never be possible in the older :camps, and that is the essential thing. Of course there are draw- }backs, and much has been made of ;them.
