JUL qu-vâ€"w‘v, _._ _ The movement has again been endorsed by representative bod- ies of clergymen of all denomina- tionsâ€"Anglicans. Methodists, Catholics, Presbyterians. Bap- tists and Congregationalists. The date for the fourth Tuber- culosis Sunday in the churches throughout Ontario has been set for Sunday, November 14. Jewish congregations have ar- ranged to observe Saturday, November 13. fifty ministers throughout the province will be supplied with an “Outline of Sermon or Lecture,” showing what tuberculosis does: what it is; what the predisposing causes are; the immediate causes: the commonest early symptoms: how the disease may be treated and cured; how prevented; sug- gesting ways in which parents, children, churches, working peo- ple and everyone may help in conbating the dread disease and, lastly, giving particulars of the great work done by the National Sanitarium Association. Hallowe’en passed off with reas- onable quietness, the painting of windows being the chief amuse- ment indulged in by the fairies It was a mean trick to cut Laid~ law’s wire fence, and to spatter the front of the new high school with white mortar on the red brick, and more may be heard of these actions at a later date Though somewhat annoying to clean paint off the windows, the merchants touched seemed to take it in good part, and no action is likely to follow this part of the program, though the action of To any minister who has not decided. may we put the question; “Is there any more needed or more Wholesome Christian activ- ity than to help prevent needless suffering and death at home. or is the near-to-hand sufferer to be. neglected at a time like this. be- cause there is no patriotic stimu- lus attached to the duty of at- tending him?” That there is needless suffering and death right in our midst through the scourge of consump- tion. is too well known to need argument. The council met on Tuesday night. Reeve Calder and Council- lors Lenahan and Saunders were absent. but the remaining mem- bers of the council conducted the regular business. Accounts amounting to about $250 were examined and a motion passed for their payment. The condition of the Baker family, who are in- :ligent and in dire distress, was discussed. when it was decided to consider the advisability of send- ing Mrs. Baker to a hospital for treatment. Messrs. Calder and Catton were selected to attend a meeting shortly to consider a hydro rziilway scheme to run a radial road from Guelph to Owen Sound. and arrange for the tak- ing of a vote on the question at the elections in January. A resolution was also passed res- cinding a motion to take the light from the corner of Chester and Countess streets and place it at the south end of Countess street near Mr. N. McLean’s resi- dence. It was plain from the dis- cussion that a previous petition asking for a light at Mr. Mc- Lean’s did not ask for a light to be taken from any other portion of the town, as the published res- olution of the council a few weeks ago would indicate. They asked for an additional light, and not for a transfer of a light from any other part of the town. Four thousand Scouts and Cadets will again attend in uni- form at the churches. Both Cadets and Scouts will be on duty in the city of Toronto. Throughout the province. apart .rom Toronto Scouts only will be on duty. The boys will wear conspicuous badges “Tuberculosis Sunday.” with a double Red Cross emblem of the crusade against consumption, and will distribute literature on tuber- culosis to the congregations as they retire from the morning service. Have. the ministers of all the churches in this district decided to observe Tuberculosis Sunday? Quiet Hallowe’en Night EHE DURHAM CHRONICLE? TUBERCOLOSIS SUNDAY IN ONTARIO CHURCHES DURHAl‘vI, OCTOBER '28. 1915. W IRWIN, Editor and Proprietor The Town Council 6.3-» some on Monday night in repeat- ing the painting of the windows as on Saturday, night, may not be overlooked so easily and may be the means of getting those operating on both nights into trouble. Saturday night’s per- formance was taken in good part and the boys, had they used good judgment, would have stayed in on Monday. A few years ago, there were some mean pranks, but a suit involving many of the wrong-doers, and demanding pay- ment for the wrongs, had a good effect. and ruthless destruction is not a common thing now. The general conduct of the town is improving. but there is still room for expansion. If Peter Campbell held back not a bushel of Wheat from his 160 acres, three miles south of Zea- landia, but sold every bushel re- ceived from it this week, when the threshers visited his place, and supposing Mr. Campbell .got 80¢. a bushel for the grain load- ed on cars, the value of the pro- duct would figure out at $7,372.80. This represents the actual value of one season’s production of a quarter of a section of land out south-west. Figure it out by the acre. and it will be found that Mr. Campbell’s quarter-section yields an actual value per acre this year of $46.08. It takes pretty good land to command $46.08 an acre, and a year ago Mr. Campbell would probably have thought half that figure was a reasonable of- fer for his farm. Mr. Campbell is a brother of Mrs. John Morrison of Durham, and a brother-in-law of James and John McNally of Glenelg.â€"Ed. Of course it is not all profit that Mr. Campbell gets from his quarter south of Zealand-ia, for he has to pay for labor and seed and taxes and other incidentals, but the fact remains that this land, like thousands of other farms in the province this year, yielded twice, and many even three times the actual rated value of the land on which the grain was grown. Mr. Campbell farms three quar- ter sections in all, and wheat on the stubble land went 40 bushels and oats 100 bushels to the acre.â€" Saskatoon Daily Star, October 15. Your attention has been called during the past three months, through newspaper items, to the fact that any and all persons de- siring to use Hydro power must have their wiring installations put in safe condition, 'and a sealed service installed. The same infor- mation has been given out freely by the district inspectors. and there is now no excuse for any person who is trifling with the matter. Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Moffat of Greenock were visiting on Mon- day and Tuesday among the Bit- chie families. Dr. Black and son, of Paisley, and Miss Black of Durham school staff, were guests from Saturday to 'Mondav, of the McFayden family. To the Citizens of Durham: our mail courier commences his route now in the forenoon. Thls will enable him to complete his work in daylight. Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Firth of Mark-dale, and Miss Candy 01' Tor- onto, were visiting at Mr. D. Mc- Fayden’s the beginning o_f the Week. The policy of waiting till your neighbor has fixed up his prem- ises is very likely to leave both you and your neighbor in dark- ness for a time. as there is sure to be a big rush to get work done when the Hydro current ar- rives. Miss Belle Firth returned home last week after a four months’ visit with her sister, Mrs. Ander- 50-1, at Canford, B. C. Mr. Harold Batchelor, who spent the last year and a half with Mr. W. (5:. r‘irth, left Wednesday to work for a farmer near Mt. F0!- est. The contractors in town know now the nature of the repairs that are necessary to obtain a certifi- cate of inspection, therefore, it is unnecessary for owners or tenants to wait for a call of 'the inspect- or. Be wise, and do not wait for the rush. Durham, November 3, 1915. Messrs. Loggie and Jack. of Paisley, motored out and spent Sunday at Mr. D.-McFayden’s.

Be slow to take them near the heat, yet do not let them freeze. \Ve Visited on Sunday with. Mr. and Mrs. Da'n McCormick of Swin- ton ‘Park, and some of the thing5 we noticed out there that differ from this place was the line-up of the autos, four in number, beside the church, and the use of steel culverts on the roads instead of the cement tile used here. Every little while, as it may need, the leaves should be washed with soapy water. If slugs or scales come, pick them off with a toothpick or hat pin, =dr0p in a cup of kerosene to kill, and sponge the leaf or the stem with kerosene.

The weather for taking up roots was good. quzgoldzs and Swede tur~ nips were a good crop, and the quality excellent, but the softer varieties of the turnips, like the potatoes, are inclined to rot. our bunuay school entertain- ment on Friday evening was a Vet) successlul one. A lairly goo-a night, goou crowd, good program and good supper. The children in recitations, vaUllted themselVes in a manner that reflected mucn credit on the teacher, Mr. l’ercy Ross. 'lhe home choir sang in their usual goo-d way. Mr. John Mclfieth, with his phonograph. gave a good entertainment, the instrument being heard plainly in every part of the building, and the numbers all good. The render- ing 01‘ the hymn "Peace Be Still” with the reading of that portion 01 scripture that suggested its composition, was much enjoyed, as well as the humorous pieces. The Misses Caldwell and Black, with Mrs. Goodwin as accompanist, rem dered sweet music, both in solos and duets. Miss Black’s presence recalled to many of us the good old times when her uncle, John A., was a popular entertainer here. Mrs. Geo. Lawrence sang a solo very acceptably. Mrs. \Vm. Law- rence, in her first appearance be- fore an Egremont audience in solo singing. cxuated a very favorable impression of her culture and tal- ent in the art. Little Miss Grertie Lawrence sang sweetly. as of yore. The people of this part would not think a program com- plete without her. Rev. Mr. Morris was chairman. and Mr. \V. Allan gave a short address.
