Let Us Have Your Next Order forJob Printing An old remedy for a cold in the head particularly and an all over cold in general is that of drinking much water. Drink at least two quarts daily. Drink it slowly and see that the glasses are at least a half-hour apart. Water should' not be taken with the -meals. It should be taken a half-hour after or before. A glass of water upon arising Should be an invariable rule. This clears the stomach 'of any mucus that has collected overnight. Hot water the first thing in the morn- ing is better than cold. Another glass of waterâ€"cold, but never iced Waterâ€"should be taken inst before retiring. Iced drinks are always a shock to the stomach. .. ‘hfi' as to bar him from all good socieâ€" ty. There is something \Vrona but what is the cause of it. and What Wremedy will resto’re such to his I . m-Oper place ‘? 'On Thursda5 night last, P.€;-21- ald Pinkerton. a young fellow of about 19 years. was arrested for disorderly conduct and placed over night in the lockup. On Fri- day morning he appeared before Magistrate Telford and was tried under the Vagrancy Act. which has evidently a very wide mean- ing. He was threatened to three months in jail, but Constable Pet- tigrew decided not to dehiver his prisoner in Owen Sound that after- noon. and he was again placed in the lockup to spend another night. During the still hours of dark- ness. however, some of Pinkerton's friends came ,t-o the rescue. and after the bars on the cell window weremried apart. the lad made his escape and has not since been heard of. Notices have been sent out to authorities in surrounding: towns. giving vaodescription of the fugitive. and offering a re- ward for his apprehension. Pinkerton is evidently ignorant of the enormity of his last érime and does not even yet. perhaps, realize that as a jail breaker and fugitive fr0m~ justice the charge stands against him indef- initely and he may be rte-arrested at any time. It is really too bad that a smart. active boy, just entering on the threshold of manhood, should shape his life in such a manner proner place ‘? How to deal with such a char-' acter is, .and has always been, a‘ hard problem to solve correctly. We sometimes wonder if the hard stringent punishment provided bv the law is always the best in the interest ,of humanity generally. Pinkerton has long been looked upon as a hard young case. There are few. however. so bad as not to possess some good points if you can only find them. Wrong training and wrong treatment are no doubt reSp-(msible for the vicious character of some men‘s lives. There is little doubt that better training and different treat- ment would have given better reâ€" sults. Some are hard to reach: thev have lost all self-reSpec-t and under such conditions there seems but little that can he don-e by the adontion of the more. lenient methods. As thr pest is being reported from numerous counties, some be- ing reported in the Vicinity 0f Owe] Sound, every farmer should rv-umiue his fields from time to tz'n‘e to see if they are being .at- tacked.
