Such was the case over the past week-end when the home of Mr. Walter Foster, Byron St.,, was entered and consid- erable damage done. Upon inves- tigation it was found that two lit- tle lads of about five years of age had broken two cellar windows and when they had entered the house smashed several sealers of fruit and "bout a dozen eggs. They were stiffly reprimanded, but being hard- ly of age, were not sent to jail or any such durance vile, CAR TURNS TURTLE GIRL PINNED UNDER IT Belleville, Oct. 31.--Returning from her home in West Hunting- don on Sunday night, Miss Mar- garet Harvie, a student at Ontario Business College, is now lying in the Belleville General Hospital with a fractured shoulder and bad- ly-cut head, the result of an auto- mobile accident.

COLLEGE SUFFERS SECOND FIRE LOSS Bamms and Hay Crop De- stroyed in Midday Blaze at St. Andrew's Aurora, Oct. 31.--St. Andrew's Col- lege today was visited by the second fire within two days, when the new barns at the rear of the grounds were destroyed, with loss of $10,000. The es, discovered shortly after noon, spread rapidly, and the season's crop of hay, virtually all the farm imple- ments, one of the horses as well as some poultry, were destroyed. The blaze was discovered by W. Hogg, riding master, who went to the rescue of the horses, saving all but one before he turned in an alarm. The Aurora and Newmarket brigades were called, but were helpless to save the barn or outhouses, and confined their efforts to a farm house on the property, which several times broke into flames from the intense heat. Mr, Hogg suffered burns while en- gaged in rescuing the horses. Dr. C. R. Boulding gave medical attention, and his condition is not serious, Efforts to save the machinery prov- ed futile owing to the intense heat. Although a few implements were pul- led out of the sheds, the major por- tion, valued at about $5,000, were de- stroyed. The fire at first gave rise to sus- picions of incendiarism, but inquiries have revealed, according to Dr. Bruce Macdonald, the principal, that spon- taneous combustion in the hay mows was the cause. All the students were in the dining-hall at the time of the fire, he said. A report on the fire will be made to the Ontario Fire Marshall; E. P. Heaton, Nursing Reed In Two Continents Hard to Equal Nurse Waite of New Brighton writes: "While nufsing in New York, my early twenties, I was poisoned by food, my sister nurse recommended your wonderful Vegetable Laxative Pills. "I am never without them and have prescribed them for thousands of m patients who were suffering with indi- gestion, gas and sour stomach, bilious- ness, sick headache and indigestion caused by constipation poisoning."

A writer of today puts more clear- ly what Lord Melbourne evident- ly intended. "This moble order of chivalry was never the special seal on great achievement," remarks the writer alluded to. "In some cases {it has gone to great men, but was rather, if one may so ex- press it, the final touch of gilt on the gingerbread of nobility." Be that as it may, everybody from duke to dustman, will rejoice that the King has so distinguished Lord Lonsdale. He represents so much that is traditional, pictures- que, and likeable to the English- man. He is a great sportsman, not only in the narrow meaning of the term, but in his wide char- ity to all men and women, and his chivalrous consideration, at all times for their feelings, .his com- mand of any situation which may turn up is a matter of delight and admiration to all, The assertion of there being "no marit"" connected with the be: stowal of the Garter must be qual- ified. Sir Austen Chamberlain was created K. G., for his services in connection with the Locarno Pact. Lord Kitchener recelved the Garter during the war, at a per- fod when a persistent and vehe- ment attack was directed upon him by a section of the Press here.

In 1913 the peuple of England drank 22,044,432 gallons of epir- its, compared with 10,412,921 last year. Beer shows a similar de- cline--30,758,800 bulk barrels in 1913 compared with 24,418,840 in 1927. The figures for the present year are believed to show a fur- ther decline, Opinions vary as to the cause, One view is that the greatly in- creased taxation since the war, which has trebled the price of a bottle of whisky, and doubl>d that of a glass of beer, amply explains it, The other view is that there is a genuine change in the 1ttitude of the people, It is significant that the Earl of Iveagh, head of a noted brewing company, presiding at a meeting of the company re- cen ly, sald that a "change in the habits of the people" was one of the chief causes of decreased con- sumption. Mo oring, the general desire for physical fitness, 'wireless, and the cinerra, have all been giv- en a share of the credit for the reduced amount of drinking At the recent manouevres in Sussex the small quanti y of beer drunk was noticed with surprise by some sergeant- majors of the old school. "Most of the men said a Guards sergeant major to a re- porter of the Daily News, "prefer a cup of tea or coffee, It was very different to the old days.' AUTOMOBILE LOANS Do you need some Ready Cash.
