The latest .scheme was introduced last week on the Northern Div- at ision, when a new scheme of fumigating T railway coaches in transit was tried. One advantage of the method is that the pass- engers also are thoroughly disinfected. On Friday evening as the evening train was- approaching Orillia, a skunk, sitting con-, veniently onvthe track, was run over, and immediately the whole train -was thoroughly purged from baggage to chair car. Next . morning another trial demonstration was made atvPowasan by the early train from 1 the north. Though there were twelve coach- ' es on the train,'the one little animal served to fumigate them all. i] RALLY DAY SERMON BY BOND HEAD PASTOR HILL -uu ouuun hue 'uoy_s nanu id all three should be em- lift: hn+ +1-m !|'|ll"- ~|----' ' were held in. the -(J1 nn .QnnA...- '31-- auuulu U93 6111- order should cu uuu uuu Wll no loss OI nre.
