E. G. Warren. Interâ€" ment was in the adjoining cemetery. Born at Grand Calumet Island, Que., 83 years ago, Mr. Ostrom was held in high regard by a host ol friends. A member of Dunraven United Church, he took a keen interest in all its activâ€" ities, and he had watched the comâ€" munity grow from a small settlement to its present size. The chief mournâ€" ers, in addition to his wife, Mary Osâ€" trom, were three sons, Robert and James; of Dunraven, and John of South Porcupine; five daughters, Mrs. Hiram Letts, of Vancouver, B.C.; Mrs. James Stitt and Mrs. Leonard Stitt, of Fort Coulonge, Que.; Mrs. J. R. Andrews, of South Porcupine, and Miss Laura Osâ€" trom, of Dunraven; two grandsons, Waverly Stitt and William Ostrom, and three granddaughters, Ola and Gladys Stitt, and Miss M. Ostrom. The pallâ€" bearers were: James Stitt, David Stitt, William Fletcher, John â€" Fletcher, Michael O‘Hare, and James Cahill." OVALTINE overcomes sleeplessnessâ€"even acute cases of Insomnia. Taken just before you retire, it soothes raw nerves, allays digestive unrest, and brings sound, natural sleep. Ovaltine is free from drugs or narcotics. It is made by an exclusive process from ripe barley malt, fresh *eggs, and creamy milk. It is a scientifically correct food for body and brain.

McLauchlan has received a letter from Chester J. O‘Brien, counâ€" sellorâ€"atâ€"law, Little Building, Boston, Mass., seeking information as to the whereabouts of Ernest Haley. The letter says that Mr. Haley is sought "to be paid a sum of money to which he is entitled as an heir." The letter desâ€" cribes Mr. Haley as the son of John Haley and Bridget Rourke Haley, of Sussex, New Brunswick, and says that he will be about 40 or 45 years of age. It is thought that Mr. Haley may be up in this North Land, and if so he should get in touch with the legal gentleman at Boston. Anyone who knows the whereabouts of Mr. Haley or can give any information to assist in his location would do well to see Chief McLauchlan or send their inâ€" formation in the matter direct to Chester J. O‘Brien at the address notâ€" ed above. Fined $50 for Giving Cigarettes to Boy of 6 On a numbesr of occasicns The Adâ€" vance has referred to the number of boys addicted more or less to smoking cigarettes and has pointed out thnge fact that men selling or giving cigarâ€" ettes to children laid themselves open to heavy fine or imprisonment. It has been pointed alsoâ€"and this is worth remembering by someâ€"that father has no right to give cigarettes to his boy and if he does so he may be punâ€" ished for this. Indeed, it is likely that the magistrate would deal more sternâ€" ly with a foolish father for thus conâ€" tributing to the delinquency of a child than he would to another person. Telesphor Contois, of Cobalt, had the lesson impressed on him recently that it is against the law of the land, as well as the law of common sense, to. give cigarettes to a child. Contois was fined $50.00 and costs for giving a little boy cigarettes. The charge was laid by the provincial police under the secâ€" tion regarding contributing to the deâ€" linquency of a child. The sixâ€"yearâ€" old child to whom Contois gave cigarâ€" ettes, told Magistrate Atkinson that Contois had given him cigarettes and had also offered him a drink of liquor. Sergt. Geo. Delves and Provincial Offiâ€" cer Stromberg told of visiting Contois‘ store and finding the store locked and the blinds drawn. They entered by a trap door and found Contois drunk and the boy in a bedroom. A glass with sugar and a spoon in it and a bottle containing gin were found on the dresâ€" ser. Cigarettes were found on a chair. The accused admitted giving the child cigarettes on different occasions and offering him a drink. Contois on the stand admitted offering the boy some liquor but said that the child did not take any. He also admitted that he had given the little fellow cigarettes. The magistrate, is imposing the fine o* $50.00 and costs, or thirty days in jail, warned Contois that he was not to have the boy around his place. Around Kirkland Lake nothing is known about Mielnik but an inquest will be held toâ€"day (Thursday). Th man presumably was beating his way into Rouyn, but it is not known where he climbed aboard. The train left Englehart at five o‘clock Friday morning and the refrigerator car was inspected there, in the usual manner, but nothing was known of Mielnik‘s presence on the train until his body sti‘l quite warm, was found. NEW NAME FOR PAYMASTER AND WEST DOME PROPERTIES Paymaster Consolidated Mines, Ltd., is the name of the proposed new comâ€" pany to take over the West Dome Lake Gold Mines Ltd., shareholders of the latter company have just been informâ€" ed by E. H. Walker. The letter states that those who desire to have a shareâ€" forâ€"share interest in the new company may do so by sending in their West Dome Lake stock to the Trusts and Guarantee Company, Toronto, together Asphyxiated by the fumes from a charcoal heater, Ternity Mielnik, about 35 or 40 years of age, and apparently of Polish birth, was found dead in a refrigerator car, when members of the train crew examined the car at Larâ€" der Lake, about noon on Friday last. with 5 cents per share, before March 1. After that date, the letter states, the basis of exchange will be 10 shares of West Dome Lake for one share of Paymaster Consolidated Gold Mines. FOUND DEAD LAST WEEK IN T. N. 0. REFRIGERATOR CAR 7[[;70 THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO Again writing to this column the weekly letter. I will give the comrades and the public at large an idea of what the Post has done since October. Since taking over the duties of secreâ€" taryâ€"treasurer I have paid into the bank $1776.51. â€" Accounts have been| passed and paid amounting to $2,372.13. Out of this amount the Timmins merâ€" chants and business men have received $1,200.00. With the exception of $95.00, the remainder has <gone to the Onâ€" tario Provincial Command for wreaths,| poppies, cards, badges, and song sheets. Since October the Post has paid out $200.00 in relief work. Last week we were able to help another family in. distress and provide a berth for a sick: comrade who was being sent to Toâ€" ronto. The Ladies‘® Auxiliary have also given of their funds for relief work. Of the amount that went to the Proâ€" vincial Command $670.00 went to the Vetcraft Shops, which is also relief work. The above figures are not inâ€" tended as a balance sheet, but the books of the Post are open at any time, to be examined and the amounts menâ€" tioned can be seen. I think we are worthy of ‘support at ~all times, and many returned soldiers in the Dominion of Canada toâ€"day can bless the Canaâ€" dian Legion for the good work it has acne. Considering the relief cases are mostly nonâ€"legion members, the Legion deserves backing to the limit for the work done. There has been a generous response to the call for clothing, and the thanks of the Post are due to the donors of the clothing. Having come in close econtact with some of the relief cases I might add that those who are in good health and cirecumstances should count themselves lucky. To see families without fuel, or food, is heartâ€"rending and makes one think: "Was it worth it," to go over and stem the tide of war? To spend years on the battle fields of Europe, Africa and other theatres of war and then to come to want in civil life is poor return for fighting for King and Country. To see some of the alien enemies whom we fought in the war lolling in luxury, in good work while som® of the men who faced these same aliens with rifle and bayonet now in want is hard to swallow. As long as we have about oneâ€"third in the Legion and twoâ€"thirds out we will have to keep on swallowing bitter medicine. We have been obliged to suspend over 100 member of the Timâ€" mins Post for nonâ€"payment of dues. Some of those suspended are out of town, but many are still in the district. The Provincial Command have given us but very short time to square our books and we have either to put up the per capita tax ourselves that is owing, or put out those in arrears. We have already come to the assistance of some of these comrades, with money, food and clothing that have fallen out of the Legion in the past, which shows that we do not fail those who have failed the Legion. A good lesson to many can be learned from the above remarks. We will now pass on to something that will interest many of our comâ€" rades and ought to benefit the Post by addition of new members. To enable every comrade in the Porâ€" cupine who cannot come to a general meeting to be initiated we will be only too pleased to supply them with a form to sign, witnessed by a comrade which will admit them to full membership of the Post. This should overcome one great obstacle as many did not feel like joining because they could not get to a meeting to be initiated. Anyone who will join our ranks will be gladly supâ€" plied with a form and an application blank. For a reminder I will add that the sum of $2.00 must come in along with the completed forms, $1.00 for iniâ€" tiation fee and $1.00 for the 1st quarâ€" ter‘s dues. Our next event will be a Chicken Staz in the Oddfellows‘ hall, Saturday, March 8th. There will be games and I have a busy time ahead typing out the names, numbers, ‘addresses and standing, and anyone in arrears for 1929, wil certainly help out if they send in their dues. According to the Provincial Command there will be "No arrears‘"‘ after March 3ist, 1930, and having talked "arrears‘"‘ since October I‘m sure I‘ll be glad when "arrears‘"‘ are no more. We have 174 members in good standing at present and 4 in hosâ€" pital, and our total suspension of memâ€" bers will amount to 130 for nonâ€"payâ€" ment of dues. I still have a few perâ€" capita stamps left, and hope to use them up before the end of March. If anyone gets any "static‘ on the radio during the next two weeks blame the Legion typewriter, as it sure ‘will be busy I had a letter from the Christie street branch of the Legion, to let us know they had visited Comrade Yateés several times. Comrade Yates is in the General hcspital in Toronto, and the Christie street branch say they will only be too glad to coâ€"operate with us in matters of this kind at all times. This is where the Legion again is worthy of mention. The entertainment committee are out tor a real night on "Vimy Night," and we can leave it to these comrades to put up the "best" on Vimy Night. I still have Comrade A. E. Johnson‘s card and a card and badge for Comâ€" rade Cullen, which has been returned from Sudbury. Anyone knowing from Sudbury. Anyone knowing of the address of the following comrades would be doing the Legion a service to send it in as I have cards and badges for them. The addresses required are: H. S. Timmins, Frank W. Rivux, John Dale and Harold Douglas Robinson. We still have about six members who are in arrears for the last quarter of 1929. Olbe Canaiian KEeqion in the BDoreupinte By the Secretaryâ€"Treasurer. chickens galore, starting at 8 pm. The chickens will be the best milkâ€"fed that money can buy and Comrade Pearce has a football game in view that will interest footballers. Kick straight and you get a chicken. See the advt. reâ€" garding this event. On March 17th there will be a masâ€" querade ball at the MciIntyre hall. There will be 7 prizes. These will be ist 2nd gent‘s fancy costume, ist, lady and and 2nd ladies‘ fancy costume, 1st and 2nd gent‘s fancy costume, ist ady and Ist gents comic costume, and a lucky door prize. Tommy Stephens‘ orchesâ€" tra will be there with snappy music. This will be advertised next week. In conclusion don‘t forget the Chicken Stag on Saturday, March 8th, and that business is now as usual and that all comrades may expect the same attention to their Legion business as in the past and may we grow and grow fast is the wish of the sSAY "DESERT SONG" TALKIE DWARFS STAGE VERSION Screem" operetta is now a fact. Through the magic of the talking picâ€" ture, "The Desert Song," one of the most tuneful and most popular musical plays even shown on the stage, has been brought to the screen, and has been produced on a scale that would be imâ€" possible in the theatre. Sigmund Romberg‘s score with its magnificent choruses and the lilting charm of its beautiful solo numbers, has been reproduced by Vitaphonse in all its original glory. The remarkable production qualities included in "The Desert Song" have been equalled by the unusual excellence of the allâ€"star cast presented by Warâ€" ner Brothers. The scenes throughout the picture are especially beautiful, ranging from an extensive French military post in Morocco to encampments of the Red Shadow and his band of native Riffs in rocky passes of the mountains, and farâ€"flung vistas of the rolling sands of the great African deserts, with the Riffs, singing as they go, riding their magnificent horses at breakneck speed into the setting sun. The allâ€"star cast of "The Deser? Song" includes John Boles, Louise Fazâ€" enda, Carlotta King, Johnny Arthur, John Miljan, Marie Wells, Jack Pratt, Edward Martindel, Otto Hoffman, Roâ€" bert E. Guzman, Myrna Loy and many others, as well as a chorus of one hunâ€" dred beautiful voices. Roy Del Ruth directed and the operetta was adapted for the screen by Harvey H. Gates. "‘The Desert Song" will be the atâ€" traction at the Goldfields theatre on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of next week, March 3rd, 4th and 5th. Spring Coats!! Hollinger Stores Limited Secretaryâ€"Treasurer _ Buy Hollinger Quality â€" It Pays RED SQUIRREL TURNED GREY AFTER DEATH OF HIS MATE The Advance takes no responsibility for the following paragraph with its natural history note. The paragraph is from The Pembroke Standardâ€" Observer and is given just as it appearâ€" ed in that newspaper last week:â€" "How a red squirrel turned grey afâ€" ter the death of his mate, presenting an appearance which has caused conâ€" siderable speculation and discussion among those who have seen this apâ€" parent freak of nature, is related by ths Westmeath correspondent of the Standardâ€"Observer. The squirrel is one of a pair which were captured when very young by a Westmeath boy and became very tame. For a time they were kept in a screened porch, but later could be trusted in the trees about the place and built themselves a nest of wool in the garage. One of the squirrels disappeared and its body was later found .under the radiator hood of NESBITT, THOMSON COMPANY For the investment of early spring funds we recommend the following Bonds and Preferred Stocks which are well secured, and at current devels pay attractive interest returns.
