CREAM SEPARATOR EXPLODED While Meredith Bray, third son "of Mr. and Mrs. A. P. Bray, of Hamilton Township, was operating a cream separator on Monday evening week, for some unknown reason the separator exploded, badly cutting his left hand. He was 'brought to Cobourg General Hospital, where it was neces sary to put several stitches in th INDIRECT TAXATION Governments love indirect taxation because its extraction of cash from the taxpayer is painless. Those of smoker who buy twenty cigarettes per day smokes 7..100 cigarettes in year and pays $55 in taxes to the Government. Yet if he were compelled to pay an income tax of that amount he would denounce the Government as extravagant. Not knowing where his cigarette money goes, he does not worry and smokes on in peace.--Ex. HOSPITAL RATES RAISED Hospitals throughout Ontario have been notified by the Provincial Secretary's Department at Queen's Park, Toronto, that at the 'ast session of the lesgislature the Hospitals and Charitable Institutions Act was amended. The amendment provides that the maintenance rate in all public hospitals shall now be $12.25 per week instead of $10.25. This applies only to public ward patients, which means the rate is now $1.75 per dav which was formerly $1.50. The new rate became effective on April 1, 1928. MEDICAL CARE OF INDIGENTS The council of every municipality should take notice that it is requested under the Public Health Act, as amended at last session of the Legislature, to enter into an agreement with the medical officer of health or some other doctor for the medical care of indigents who, in the opinion of the health of the municipality or its relief officer, are unable to pay for the necessary attendance, and who are not cared for in public or private hospitals. The agreement is to provide for fair and reasonable remuneration for service rendered. If the municipality does not enter to such an agreement, the medical officer of health is deemed the indi-medical officer and is to be paid accordingly, aside from his alary as medical officer of health, nd where the medical officer of health claims that either salary or ; remuneration for care of indigents not fair and just, and the corpora-n takes no action, he may apply, provided by section 52 of The Public Health Act, to the County District Judge, who may by his order Former Employe at Regent Theatre, Port Hope, Responsible for Payment for Coal He Ordered Holding that the person who orders goods from a merchant is responsible for payment, Judge E.

Tavlor, Limited, Woodstock, Ontario. THE IRTUES OF LAZINESS London Evening Standard: The boy of parts, who at 15 or 16 generally a pretty clear notion of what he ts to know, has to spend as much of his time and energy in school in resisting education as in absorbing it. It -is true that he is often found in later life to regret what he has rejected. The subjects which then bored him take on a more attractive appearance, and he wishes that his defence had not been quite so stubborn and successful. But this does not mean that he was not right at the time. The growing mind cannot devote itself to everything, and the lazy boy's laziness is simply his Instinctive choice of interests. ROAD TO SUCCESS Gilrs, it certainly pays to adver An Oklahoma girl advertised for husband and landed him in a short time, he ad cost $3, the wedding her $6, a total of $9. The husband lived less than a year and left her a life insurance policy for $11,000. And yet there are lots of fellows sitting around on soap boxes who say it does not pay to advertise. r.VE.N ittle hard to belie athei and until blind spot in each eye, a place where we can see nothing whatever. Ordinarily, perhaps, we might never find this out, but it happens we can test it with the simplest of apparatus, and the test is well worth the trouble. Paste two dimes about three and a half inches apart, one to the right and one to the left, on a sheet of cardboard. Then, closing the right eye and looking steadily with the left at the right-hand dime, move the cardboard to and fro until at a point.gen-erally from ten to twelve inches from the face, depending upon whose eye is being tested, the left-hand dime utterly disappears--vanishes apparently, into thin air. Ordinarily we get the illusion that the cardboard is still there, though we do not see it, but the dime is gone. The reason why of all this is that the image of the left-hand dime falls on what we know as the blind spot of the retina, a place which is wholly insensitive to light. This, of course, is the place where the optic nerve enters the eye, and over the comparatively small area involved there is no arrangement of the microscopic rods and cones, or light-sensitive elements with which we see. The experiment can be repeated in an even easier way with the very brightest illumination possible. If instead of using the dimes we take a lead pencil and punch two round holes through the cardboard at the same distance apart, and then, holding the cardboard against the sun, look as before at the hole to the right with the left eye while we move the cardboard, presently we reach a point where the brilliant left-hand hole diappears as completely as the dime did. We desire to draw the attention of our subscribers to the fact that out-of-town cheques are not payable at par in Colborne. Some of those who remit by cheque overlook the fact that it costs us from 15c to 25c to have their signatures honoured at the local banks, and a number of such payments soon make a sizeable amount. Subscribers are requested to think of this when making remittances and either add exchange or send postal notes or money orders which are payable at par.
