Berlin Pianos i Slazâ€"I notice in Warden Pedwell’s ’ address to the County Council of the 'County of Grey, at last week’s ses- sion, reference was made to the pre- sentment of the Grand Jury to his :Lordship Judge Magee re House of nefuge at Markdale. I think Mr. Pedwell said it all and spoke the sentiments of the County Council when he said. “I am sure it is a matter of regret to every member of :this Council to see the statements Icontained in the presentment.” \1r. Pedwell might Well have stopped there, but when he goes on and says Ethese statements are not founded on. facts, as they appeared to the Graodl lJury (and which facts were admitted: by all interested parties, namely,| ,Mr Harness, the manager, and virc'i tually substantiated by Dr. Brucel lSmith in his report and not demed' by the County Council Committee 111‘ their report as it appears in Satur- day s Globe). then I say Mr.P1dwell goes too far, and he does n0t know ;ahere;f he speaks. bacause he was inot there with the Grand Jury, and ‘did not see and hear what they saw and heard, and upon which the pre- sentment was based Mr, Pedwell states that he fears there were some chronic fault finders on the Grand Jurv. To this I say ii that be true. , then the whole of the Grand Jury _ were chronic fault finde1s as every Imember fully endorsed the present 'ment.'1he views and Opinions of every member were expressed before the presentment was drawn up, and ;they unanimously approved of itâ€" indeed sou e (f them stated that it might have been made stronger As this is a matter of vital importance to the ratepayers of the County of Grey. they should know the facts as they aetually me, and with this point in view 1 will endeavor to throw a ;little more light upon this matter. l l l l ABSOLUTELY CORRECT ‘ MR. WITTHUN. Re Charges Against Management of Grey County House of Refuge. To ms Emron or THE POST. At the Fall Assizes, held in Owen Sound on the 14th of October last. the Grand Jury (selected by the township. village. town and county authorities) were duly sWorn by the court to do their duty impartially. wnthout fear or favor. Their duties were fully set forth in His Lordship’s instructions. and, among Other mat. rum. he minted out their duty to inspect and report thereon the county inStitutions. Now it muSt be borne in mind that the Grand Jury is made up of men residing all over the coun- ty, and were total strangers to one anather when they first met. Now these twelve men went to Markdale unprejudiced and unexpeCted, and unannounced to the manager of the House of Refuge. They got there a 'little belore nine o’clock in the morn ing. and found things in their normal state. their insnection lasting about three hours. Upon returning to Owen Sound they met and began to compare notes. Each one Spoke. and in every case dissatisfaction was the keynote of his remarks, Now does it appear td you that the present- ment was the creation of a few chronic halt-finders? For intelli- gence. fair~mindedness, and impar tiality these men would. in my Opinion, compare very favorably with even so august a body as the County Council. Besides. they acted under oath. and, after comparing notes. they chose three of their number to To enable all to learn, we teach on cash or instal- ment plan.

At Drink In a license town, drinking is done under rigid laws and in the eyes of the public. Every condition operates to m a k 0 men restrain themselves. The beverages sold are of honest quality, and pure. In a local option town, men drink adul- terated stufi of the worst quality, and drink far more because public opiniOn is blinded by the law. Practically, local option ban- ishes the decent bar and toler- ates the “ blind pig.” It winks at the abuse of alcohol and fosters its abuse. SAYS draw up their combined observations and praseut them no the Court. This was accordmzly done, and onsed a flutter in the County Council. For the first time they had learned from disinterested persona fearlessly stated Opinions that it was not all sunshine in the House of Refuge. Some of them to whom I Spoke de- nied the truth of the presentment, although they admitted that they knew norhing 3. out it. as the House of Refuge was run by a committee; but in their Opinion there must be a mistake. intimating that their com mittee would not allow such shame ful conditions to exist. Why do you think these men took that Stand? The reason is that they are members of the County Council. and as such are responsible for the affairs at the House of Refuge. Afser receiving the presentment His Lordship Judge Magee immed- iately reported to the provincial authorities, and Dr. Bruce Smith, jnSpthor of these institutions, made an Invesrigation, as he h:d done be- fore. and to give this investigation a color of fairness the County Clerk n.tifird t iree members of the Grzand Jury (Mr. Staples, Mr. Arlidge and myself) to attend at Markdale at 2 o’clock p. m. on the let of Novem". er. I receiv-ed my notice at. 8 a. m the same day, and found it impossible to get to Markdgle _upon such short notice. Hence Mr. Pedwell’s remarks as to the non attendance of the jury, Never fear, Mr. Pedwell, the end of this is not yet, and you will learn before you are many weeks older that none of the Grand Jury are afraid to face you or anyone else, and to back up their statements by amdav1t1f it cannot be done other- wise Mr. Bruce Smith upon his investigation, reported as might have been expected, trying to refute everything said by the Grand Jury, but practically admitting to all the main charges. The Grand Jury say the inmates are not supplied with sugar. Dr. Smith says the women are‘ but says nothing about the men. The Grand Jury says the inmates are not supplied with butter Dr. Smith does non diapute this, but says they get syrup insuead. The Grand Jury says the inmates get skim milk only for their porridge while the cream is Otherwise disposed of. Dr. Smith says the inmates are supplied with skim milk for their oatmeal porridge, but they also get fresh milk. The Grand Jury says there is a dark hole in the building into which the subordinate inmates are forcibly placed by the manager. Dr. Smith says there is a. locked room used for that. purpose, and admits that Mr. Harness sometimes uses his authori- ty. but Dr. Smith says nothing as to heat, ventilation. or light in this ”room H The Grand Jury says vegetables are sold ofi the premises which should be used for the inmates. Dr. Smith says vegetables are sold but only those which cannot be consumed by the inmates. Of the ether charges made by the Grand Jury Dr. Smith says nothin8~ or admits them, but. reports that everything is all right. Now it must be understood that Dr. Smith is only a. man. as other men. notwithstanding that he holds a government position, and as his re- ports on former occasions were of I glowing cheracter, what would you expect in this case? Dr. Smith’s report was handed to the County Council, who appointed a committee of themselves to investi- gate. This committee. however, (10 net go to the trouble of reporting in detail upon the several charges made by the Grand Jury. but in a general way say that the Grand Jury report was uncalled for, and that some of the statements are nntrne (mind You- some of the statements only), 80 some of necessity must be true- And this admission from the County Council! Which statements are true and which are nntrne? The farce of appointing a committe,e 0‘ themselves who are accused of miso management. and to ask the public to believe this report, must be ob- vions to all intelligent man. Under local option, the man who profits is the keeper of the “ blind pig,” who sells adulter- ated stuff by stealth and con- tributes naught to the local revenues. Under license, the community benefits as a. whole, for t h e liquor traffic is regulsted, ‘ is In conclusion, I beg to say that the presentment made by the Grand Jury was absolutely correct. and I hereby chal enge Mr. Pedwell or any other member of the'County Council to diaprove it‘before an independent tribunal composed of twelve men taxed, and is conducted under the watch of the whole popula- tion, with all the restrictions that impr Local Option take the traffic from the grip of the law and delivers it over to private greed.

No other remedy or medical treat- ment has ever been as popular «r made so many remarkable cures in Durham as Hyomei. The best peOple attest its curative virtues. The fair way in which Hy- omei was sold. to refund the money unless it gave satisfaction, was the beet proof when it was introduced that it poeeeeeed unusual curative powers. Later, when Hyomei was used and recommended by our well-known physicians and business men and their wives as a treatment that abso- lntely cured catarrh, no matter how serious or long standing, the sales rapidly grew and to day there is no other remedy that has such a large and staple sale. The first breath of Hyomei’s heal- ing air kills all catarrhal poison. There’s nothing else that gives snch quick curative results in catarrhal conditions . We absolutely guarantee Hyomei, for should you buy a complete out- fie, price $1.00, and be dissatisfied with results your money will be re- funded. Hyomei is sold by druggizts everywhere.
