TravELEnâ€"*"*Yeh, and how about a shower of Flit to quench these damn mosauitoes!" A. WANDER LIMITED, 4ss KING STREET WEST TORONTO, ONTARIO ENSURES SOUND, NATURAL SLEEP LEEPLESSNESS is the direct result of overtaxed, underfed nerves. Just as soon as you give your nerves the extra nourishment they need you‘ll commence sleeping soundly and will feel like a difâ€" ferent person again. Ovailtine is not a mere haphazard mixture of its several ingredients, but is manufactured by an exclusive scientific process. Ovailtine retains, snimpaired, all the essential eleâ€" ments of its valuable ingredientsâ€"ripe barley malt, fresh eggs and creamy milk from England‘s richest pastures. It is the finest natural "pickâ€"meâ€"up‘"" in the world for starved nerves. Ovaltine tazken just before you go to bed induces sleep as soon as your head touches the pillow . . »atural sleep. . . Builds up your sysâ€" tem with new stores otPenergy and vitality while you slumber. And Oveiltize is so easily assimiâ€" lated that every particle can be absorbed even by the weakest digestion. who work by muscle or brain tell us that they have been able to persist in strenuous and nerveâ€" taxing tasks only through the restorative goodâ€" ness of Ovaltine. One cupful of Ovailtine contains more nourishment than 3 eggs or 12 cupfuls of beef tea. â€" Thousands of men and women Ovaltine Rusés made from finest Canadian wheaten flour, with Ovaltine added, are more appetising, easily digested and much more nourishing than orâ€" dinary rusks or biscuits. At the court of revision on the asâ€" sessment roll for the town of Timmins in 1919, there were 99 appeals. Only a few changes were made in the roll. S. Bucovetsky, J. P. Bartleman, James R. Anderson, Geo. Boutin, Allan Clark, A. Dufresne, G. Houle, J. K. Moore, A. Kusto, Mrs. F. Laverne, National Pruit and Produce Co., Mrs. Wadsworth, W. Plunket, S. Sicard, Fred Morris, Mrs. R. Sims, Mrs. Lafabure, G. T. Leduc, A. L‘Ecuyer, P. Martin, and others were allowed small reductions each. A number of appeals against income tax, chiefly by men whose families were not living in town on account of lack of accommodation of one kind or anâ€" other, such as houses or high schoois, were refused by the court of revision, the court at that time upholding the assessor in the idea that "heads of families‘" were not entitled to special exemption unless their families lived in town, though the law actually provided otherwise, as is frankly admitted now by the authorities. Mr. W. McHugh offered to sell two lots for the price assessed against one of them. Counâ€" cillor Brazeau paid $10.00 down as an option on this offer. "If I get the rest of the $75.00," said Mr. McHugh, "I will make $15.00 on the deal, and betâ€" ter still Mr. Brazeau will have to pay tho taxes on the lots." "Last week," said Tue Advance of June lith, 1919, "Fire Chief Raycroft, of Moneta, was busy delivering chemiâ€" cal fire extinguishers to places in Rochester and Gillies Lake townsites in the township of Tisdale. About ten extinguishers were left at suitable places for the use of the residents of thdse townsites, and a half a dozen more are to be delivered to other conâ€" venient locations. The idea is to have these extinguishers outside at a numâ€" ber of houses where they will be conâ€" venient for use by several houses toâ€" gether in case of fire. If a fire is caught in its early stages these chemiâ€" cal extinguishers will put out the blaze. Moneta is now fairly well supplied with equipment for fighting fire by the inâ€" stallation of the summer water line some weeks ago and by the convenience of the chemical auto truck. The disâ€" tribution of the chemical fire extinguâ€" ishers in Rochester and Gillies townâ€" sites thus goes to make all this partiâ€" cular end of Tisdale township much safer in the matter of fires. With reaâ€" sonable care and watclhfulness the reâ€" sidents of Rochester and Gillies townâ€" sites may now have a considerable measure of fire protection. Announcement was made in The Adâ€" vance ten years ago that the Timmins Town Baseball League had been formâ€" ad and would consist of three teams for a startâ€"the Firemen, the Hollinger and the McIntyre. The Advance urgâ€" ed all baseball fans and sports in genâ€" eral to give heartiest suppot league. Ten years ago at this time permits were issued for twentyâ€"five new houses in Timmins. The approximate cost of the 25 houses was set at $55,000.00, figuring about $2,200.00 each. The houses were to be built for the Hollinâ€" ger by Hillâ€"Clarkâ€"Francis Fourteen of the houses were to be built on Birch street between First and Second aveâ€" nue, and the other eleven on Spruce street, near Sixth avenue. The Advance ten years ago recorded a serious hail storm at Englehart There was a fierce wind that did conâ€" siderable damage, and in addition there was a steady hail storm of unâ€" usual kind. The hail stones were parâ€" ticularly large, some of them being reâ€" ported by reliable witnesses as almost the size of a small hen‘s egg, though what they meant, no doubt, was that the hail stones were the size of a small egg laid by a hen whose size was not considered. In any event much of the hail was the size of marbles and did much damage. Windows were broken all over Englehart and few roofs esâ€" caped damage. Much damage was also occasioned by water entering houses and business places. None of the houses covered with roofing and siding paper were able to withstand the fierce storm. Several thousand dollars‘ damage was caused by this, the worst storm in the history of Englehart, which seemed to get the whole force of this storm which did damage elsewhere, and was no more than a shower in Timmins. by A. F. Brigham, it was decided to | that one or more of the three were not name the organization, "The Timmins | present to welcome the returned solâ€" Golf Club" On motion of Messrs | diers coming to town.

Another resolution should | among the oldâ€"timers of the Porcupine Particulars of the formation and orâ€" canization of the Timmins Golf Club may be of interest. The preliminary meeting for organization was held on May 3ist, 1919. The motion to have a golf club was moved by H. E. Montgoâ€" mery and seconded by J. W. Fogg. On motion of J. P. Bartleman, seconded THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO to also be noted for record:â€"*‘"Moved by A. F. Brigham, seconded by H. Webb, that a motion of thanks be extended to D. Mackie for the interest he has shown and the effort and enthusiasm given to golf by him." Mr. Mackie presided at the organization meeting. The DY.B. Club girls had a reâ€" union picnic at Sandy Falls ten years ago. A generous and pleasing luncheon was supplied by Mrs. M. A. Ellis, Mrs. R. J. Vollett and Mrs. Meuche, the honorary presidents of the church clubs into which the D.Y.B. Club was organized when the need for the patriâ€" otic work of the club, so far as the war was concerned, seemed to be finâ€" ished. "The black flies and mosquiâ€" toes," said The Advance report, "interâ€" fered a little with the pleasure of the afternoon, but the young ladies eventâ€" ually found ways and means to overâ€" come these pests, and the rest of the time, with the protection of smudges, the girls had the delightful social time together that characterizes all these D. Y.B. reâ€"unions." The Advance ten years ago said:â€" Among the recent arrivals here from overseas may be mentioned Lieut. Slim Hallowell, Lieut. Dinny Reid, Sergt. brooks and Private Morrell. Lieut. Hallowelil, one of the good old pioneers of the early days, went overseas with the Pionesrs. He brought back with him the colours of the Pioneers, preâ€" senting the same to Mrs. Dr. McInnis to be pnresorved by the Daughters of the to be pi IEmpire One of the chief topics at the council meeting here on June 9th, 1919, was the quality and price of fish brought into the camp. Councillor L. S. Newton brought the question to the attention of the council, and the clerk was askâ€" ea to get in touch with the proper auâ€" thorities in .the matter. Mr. E. W. Johnston, leader of the Timmins Citiâ€" zens Band, addressed the council askâ€" ing coâ€"operation in the building up of a firstâ€"Class band here and this was promised. "I am not against a brass band," commented Councillor Longâ€" more, "but we should face the question as to which we need most,â€"a band or sidewalks and roads." ‘The chief of police was instructed to collect the cost of sending a lad to the Hailleybury Children‘s Aid Shelter, and later to Toronto, from the father of the boy. Geo. Laporte was appointed town poundâ€"keeper. The mayor told of the Government‘s plans for road improveâ€" ments in the district. The plans of the MH.O. for the installation of a chlorination plant to make the drinkâ€" ing water safe for the town was orderâ€" ed to proceed." An addition to the byâ€" law regarding poolrooms required that all such places should close at 12 o‘clock midnight. The council agreed to the closing of the unopened part of Cedar street to be used now as part of the athletic grounds. | Ten years ago The Advance noted that the town of Cobalt had won in its case in the Supreme Court of Canada against the Temiskaming Telephone Co. In 1915 the Cobalt board of trade raised the issue that the telephone company was discriminating against Cobalt in the matter of rates. The company won one court case and the town appealed to Premier Hearst, who suggested that an arrangement be made when the franchise came to be renewed. No mutually satisfactory arâ€" rangement could be made and the town ordered the removal of poles, etc. The company secured an injunction after the town cut the wires, and then went through several courts, the Supreme Court‘s decision being in four of the town. Ten years ago as a result of the hot weather in late May and early June a number of horses (no less. than ten) died in and around New Liskeard. Between 700 ‘and 800 spectators watched the football game at Timâ€" mins between McIntyre and Timmins teams in the N.O.F.A. series ten years ago. McIntyres had the better and won 2 to 1. The "rooting‘"‘ at the game was a notable feature, the ladies taking a prominent part in this. The GWV.A. held a very enjoyable smoker in the Oddfellows hall ten years ago. President Geo. A. Smith conductâ€" ed affairs in very efficient way. There were songs and other music and a fine lunch, as well as some sparkling speeches. In introducing Dr. McInnis, mayor, Fire Chief Borland, and G. A. Macdonald, editor of The Advance, President Smith referred to the special interest shown by these three in the soldiers, especially as members of the civic reception committee, not a train for months on end coming into town that one or more of the three were not present to welcome the returned solâ€" diers coming to town. Among the singers for the evening were:â€"Jack Carey, Comrade Calverley, J. Staples, Comrade Drummond, Comrade Prangâ€" ley and others. H. M. Martin presided at the piano. There were readings and recitations by R. F. Argles, Geo. A. Smich and others. Comrades P. Douâ€" gall and J. MacGregor moved a hearty vote of thanks to all who had taken part Eleven barrels of rum for the British Navy, shipped from Halifax to Vancouâ€" ver, were stolen ten years ago at Cochâ€" rane. Thse thieves were discovered, beâ€" ing employees of the railroad. One of them got away while waiting sentence and the others got a brief term. Most of the rum was recovered. who served overseas, has returned to the camp." "Bornâ€"In Timmins, on Monday, June 9th, 1919,to Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Easton,â€"a son." "Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Simms went down to North Bay last week to meet Mr Simms‘ brother who has just returned from overseas." "Cobalt town band has been forced to disband. They could not get enough players to blow the instruments, so the whole band blew up." ‘"There have been so many lost youngsters lately that Fire Chief Borland has been conâ€" sidering a special ring of the fire bell to announce lost children so that all may be on the lookâ€"out for them. Last week several children were lost for a time and on Saturday two little girls wandered away from home and were gone some time." "Mr. Hector Macâ€" Lean, who has just returned from overseas, is visiting his brother, Mr. J. D. MacLkean, town foreman." "The storm last week wrecked two houses under construction down the Mattaâ€" gami Road last week." "H. W. Hooker left for a two weeks‘ holiday at his home in Galt.‘" ‘"Martin Myles forâ€" merly engineer at the town pumphouse, and one of the popular oldâ€"timers of the camp, returned to town on Wednesâ€" day after several months spent in Niaâ€" gara Falls, Ont., where he had a reâ€" sponsible position with the Hydro Elecâ€" tric Commission." "Mr. Buchanan, formerly on the Dome engineering staff, but who went overseas with the Engineers, returned to the camp last week and was warmly welcomed back by his many friends in the district." "On Monday of this week the first exâ€" periment in oiling the streets was made on Third avenue from the Marshallâ€" Ecclestone corner to the depot. The oil laid the dust, but raised an odor for a time." GRANTED CONCESSIONS® FOR THE PARK AT SWASTIKA The Northern News of Kirkland Lake last week says:â€""F. W. Milk, of Swasâ€" tika, was granted premission by the Township Council on Tuesday night to operate a refreshment booth and boats at Culver Park, and the use of the dancing pavilion once a week, Wednesâ€" days, with the understanding that the park is to be free to the use of the citizens of the township. In return, Mr. Milk, who appeared before the council offered to act as caretaker of the park and to keep it in proper order. He stated that he had seen each memâ€" ber of the Park Committee, one had approved his offer but the other two had expressed the opinion that he should make his application to the council. The council made it clear that the rights granted to Mr. Milk were not to interfere with any special comâ€" munity affairs arranged to be held at the park."

Examiner:â€"*‘Twentyâ€"five years ago when Dr. Gilchrist of Orillia wanted his horse he phoned the livery barn and the horse appeared hitched to the buggy and "hitting on all four" before the doctor‘s residence without a driver. It simply walked out of the barn and trotted to his master‘s place unattended, and moreover, if anyone interfered with its progress it became quite crabby and would bite. There‘s one instance where the horse has it over the automobile. Just try phoning the garrage for your motor car to reâ€" port under similar conditions.
