There had been a fight -at the country school-house and it seems this seven-year-old got a shade the worst of it. The teacher, good soul,* had applied mercurochrome "from her kit, put on the dressing and hurriedly took the boy home in her car. " Removing the dressing, I found an abraded wound not skin- deep, extending from the inner margin of the left orbit, almost to the point of the nose; it had oozed blood rather freely, and blood alarms even a school-teacher. The slight wound had been treated thoroughly with mercurochrome. ° ory _ You know what I did? Well, I removed the ban was so snug and efficient as to be almost disabling eigee d: prescribed an ounce of the teacher's antiseptic. I told the father to leave off all dressings and paint lightly with mercurochrome about four times a day. Within three days Xhe wound had healed Now for the conclusions: All small, minor wounds, involvin no important structures, heal better and faster IF LEFT IN THE. OPEN AIR. Had I continued to keep over-heating dressings on that boy's face, he would have been comiing back today for attention Keep your small wound clean with any positive antiseptic, and use as few dressings as possible.

SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON by Rev Charles E. Dunn ~ Vision and Service Lesson for March Ist. Luke 92 28-434, Golden Text: Luke 16:13. Luke tells us that "Jesus went up the mountain to pray." How often the Bible refers to the mountains! Think of Mt. Carmel, that bold thheadland pushing its way into the 'sea, where Elijah held an extraordi- mary vigil with his God. Consider further Mt. Her- mon, the very mount of our les- son, the peak upon. which, ac- cording to tradi- tion, Jesus was transfigured! Why did the § 3 Master seek the BS spe seclusion: of this Rev. Chas. E Duan mountain? Various reasons suggest themselves. First of all he found quiet there. There is a _ beatiful phrase in one of the psalms, where we read that "the mountains shall bring peace to the people." '"Re- ligion," says Dr. L. P. Jacks, "comes forth in the majesty of silence, like a mountain amid the lifting mists." One is reminded of how Elijah found the Lord at Carmel not in the wind, not in the earthquake, not in the fire, but in "the still, small voice." _ Then, too, Jesus found stability in his mountain retreat. The psalm- ist says that "as the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the Lord is round about his people.'- Best of all our Lord found in- spiration in his mountain experi- ences, especially in the Transfigura- tion illumination. We recall when Moses climbed down Mt. Sinai with the tables of law in his hands, his face s' with a heavenly licht. Even nore impressive was the radiant count. a- ance of Jesus! But we must all come down from the motntain top, with its vision of God, and take off our coats and ort to work. This is precisely what Jesus did when he had reached the base of the Mount of: Transfigura- tion. He healed a lunatic boy pos- sessed by the demon. After the beatific vision came the lowly task. Every true soul descends from the exhilaration of a high altitude to the routine ¥ immediate obligation awaiting, in the form--of human need, by the dusty road at the foot of the peak. x The value of products made from cotton seed, which was once thrown away as waste, now amounts to more than $500,000,000 annually in the GOSH, IVE BEEN SITTING ON DAUGHTERS HAT AND IVE FLATTENED IT LIKE A PAN- CAKE!

It means: "Shine, 10 cents." WHY YES, THANK GOODNESS! DAD,AREN'T THE NEW HATS FOR WOMEN LA SCREAM? cS PRACTICAL,DEAR VERY The Operas of the famous composers the late Mr. W. S. Gilbert and Sir Arhtur Sullivan, are part of English tradition, while here the fine music is in its infancy, as far as theatre-goers are concerned. But, we believe, that af- ter the production of the Sorcerer last week, by the Temple Choir of Strat- ford, our local audiences are actually becoming Gilbert and Sullivan-minded. The general opinion of the people who composed the two large audiences, is that it is quite the best opera, yet at- tempted by the Temple Choir, and we agree. While sitting, enjoying to the fullest every minute, we could not help but realize the number of hours of hard work put in by the directors, Mrs. C. Moss, who so capably and graciously piloted the principals and chorus through both dramatic work and dance routines. Mrs. W. A. Culligan, one of our finest accompanists, who presided at the piano, and Mr. F. K. Creasy who for four years, has directed the music- al part of the opera, so capably. Too much can not-be said of their untiring work. We are not going to review the story which has already been review; and been seen, by a large number of citiz- ens, but we do want to mention the individual performances. Mr. Wm. Collier, one of our out- standing tenors, as Gilbert, the dash- ing young Guardsman, engaged to the lovely Alice Sangazuse, and whose be- trothal is being celebrated at the open- ing of the opera, was excellent in the role. His numbers were beautiful, and he sung them with an intelligence and sincerity that was a joy to the audi- ence' Mrs. Olin Brown, who interpret- ed the lovely Josephine Corcoran in H. M. 8. Pinafore," a delightful Yum- Yum in Mikado, and who, for two years was absent from the list of prin- cipals in the Temple Choir operas, re- States. turned in the role of Alice Sangazure. Temple Choir Scores Real Triumph In The Sorcerer Mrs. Brown, always one of Stratford's finest sopranos, excelled anything she has previously done. She displayed a clearness of tone, and resonance, and complete control of voice which was outstanding. Her dramatic interpret- ation of the role of the lovely Alice would put to shame many. profession- als. We welcome back Mrs. W. J. Min- er, previously known as Fanny Jewel Rogers; who so capably and gracious- ly lived the role of Lady Sangazure, mother of Alice. Mrs. Miner has a de- lightful contralto voice, and used it to advantage, and for the pleasure of the audience in her duets with The Sorcer- er and Sir Marmaduke Pointdextre. The latter role was played by Mr. Jack Wilkinson. Heretofore Jack has been playing the bad man of the piece. But 'this role was a complete change. He played it well and we liked the change. Mr. J. G. Morrison in the title role was splendid. His stature was very much in his favour and he showed a keen sense of the knowledge of the role. We doubt if anyone could have done the role bet- ter. Major G. L. Money, who always plays the mirth-provoker, did not dis- appoint this time as the vicar of Plov- erleigh, Dr. Daly. We always look to him for the laughs. Mr. Wm. Russell as the Notary was fine. In the second act, after the love potion had begun to take effect, his little love bit with Con- stance was very well done. The role of Constance was daintily and prettily done by Miss Bertha Bradford. She has a delightful and pleasing voice, and was dainty in her role. Miss Ann For- sythe played the role of Mrs. Partlett, pew-opener, and mother of Constance. Her scheming to get her daughter mar- ried to the vicar, was good. And Mas- ter Robert Reid was a striknig page, in his brilliant red and blue velvet. The chorus work was outstanding. The lovely costumes only enhanced the lovely ladies of the chorus, and gallant gentlemen. We think in connection with the chorus besides the finales of both acts, special mention should be made of the Country Dance, beautifully done by the | ladies and gentlemen of the ensemble. The scenery was in keeping with the piece and formed a splendid back-~ ground. ; The orchestral accompaniment was a treat. The personnel of the orchestra were very sympathetic in their accom- paniments and lent complete co-oper- ation. They were--Mrs. H. W. Culligan, piano; Messrs. Culligan, Bexon, Chis- lett, Ferguson, McLellan, Trethewey, Mrs. Clark, Morlock, Gibbons, and Veira. The ladies and gentlemen of the ensemble were Mesdames_ Clark, Chippendale, Kerr, Frost, Death, Cun- ningham, Misses McMillan, Russell, Peters and lLyoness. Messrs. 'Cook, Hanley, Chippendale, Whatmough, Mc- Lean, Roberts, Hawes, Cook, Swan- son, Butcher, Martyn and Shaw. INSTALL A HANDY DOUBLE BASE PLUG Why bother with an un- sightly extension cord ?
