The story connected with the cheque was that it was given by W. G. Ache-E son. of Proton, on the Union Bank for wages earned by the young fellow who represented himself as Geo. Brown. Mr. Richards suspected the genuineness of the cheque and the telephone soon confirmed his suspic- ions. \Vhen the fellow was cornered he admitted the forgery and Mr. Bit-bards was lenient enough to take no legal action in the matter. The quilt): one pleaded this was his first and last attempt to get money in this manner. â€"--Dnndu1k Herald. Dorothy McManus. eight-year-oldl daughter of James McManus, pro- ‘ prietor of Lakeview Hotel, Riverview road. Sandwich East. was drowned Tuesday morning when she attempted to rescue Franklin. her six-year-old brother. who slipped into the river while sliding on thin ice. The mother of the children attracted by their cries for help, rushed frantically to the spot. The boy was pulled from the water by Mrs. McManus. as he was going under for the third time, but Dorothy was swept beneath the ice before her mother could reach her. Franklin Mc- Manus. says he ventured too near the edge of the ice and slipped off, and when his sister came to his aid un- sound ice gave way. The girl’s body was recovered half an hour later. Charles Hummell. bartender at the Grand Central Hotel, Kitchener. was arrested Friday morning, charged with perjury, resulting from testimony which he gave in a recent trial of Charles Zuber, who was convicted of violating the Ontario Temperance Act. He was remanded until next Friday and admitted to hail of $1,000. Charles Zuber and Pat Brohman were also served with summonses to answer charge of interfering with Crown witnesses. When John Stull, who has beeni making his home in the West for the past ten years or more, arrived at the home of his brother, Clarence Stull at Rockwood. shortly after 11 o’clock Tuesday, he met with a surprise which Was a decided shock. He got off the train which arrived at riockwood at at 11.30 and went to his brother‘s house, opened the front door and saw his brother sitting in a chair in front of the stove and on going up to him found that he was cold in death and the body frozen stiff. It was the opin- ion of Dr. )IcCulloch that the unfortâ€" unate man h-ul been dead for some time and that he had probably died of heart-disease and had frozen after- wards.

" 7-2c.1 .I‘Uunu- II- , " " C"' During theapnst few yoms special endeavour has been made to bring this matter to the attontion of pro. dncex-s and the wholesale trade. This appeal. however, is addressed more particularly to retailels. many (f whom do nut 990m tn realize the ex t1 mne pol-ialmhility of eggs. It is a common practice at this sea- son of the year for many retaileis to " advertise the increasing egg supply and the rapidly fallinszpricea by dis- l playing,r piles of eggs in their store‘ Windows. The eggs thus exposed inl many cases come under the direct rays 1 of the sun, and are. subjected to “i temperature behind the plate glass; Window of about 100 degrees.

Fur-l ther at this time of the year a large. l perreutage ot‘ the e: gs marketed are fertilized, and as it is common know- led ge that. a tentperatlne of 71) degrees I is sufficient to start im-uhation. the possibility of serious deterim-ation will lie-readily seen. It is good business to advertise. tut window displays of eggs detest the aim of the advertiser. in that the re- sulting deterioration of the eggs causes dissatisfaction runong consu- owns, and so retards consumption. Eggs should he kept' in the cleanest. coolest, driest place in the store. re- . moved from umstiness. foul odors, or . l other sources of contamination. The food value of eggs. their freedom l from waste, the saving in time. labour. ' and fuel in their preparation. and the favourable way they compare in price with other articles of food places them i in an important place in the diet of our people. Now, as never before in the history of the. Dominion. the conservation of food supplies must be one of our chief considerations. and _ the waste now apparent in the handl- ‘ing of eggs. that can be eliminated by l careful and more up-to-(late. methods. is a consideration that will appeal to every citizen who has at heart. the best linterests of his fellow citizens. his 3 country, and the Empire as a whole.
