RICTT MANAGERSâ€"MUTUAL LIFE OF CANADA, FIRE INSURANCE AT LOWEST RATES ONTARIO Insurance Company "Canada‘s IndustrialLOrdinary Company" GENERAL ENDORSEMENT OF IDEA OF 160 AGRE FARMS Eightyâ€"Acre had an editorial reference to the fact that there was a general demandi in this part of the North Land that the department revert to the former senâ€" sible regulation allowing 160â€"acre farm lots for settlers instead of 80 acres as at \ l A couple of weeks ago The Advanca‘ present in the districts of Cochrane and Temiskaming. The New Liskearda Speaker was among the neswspapets quoted as supporting the 160â€"acre farm regulation and quite evidently The Speaker has seen no reason to weaken in its opinion in this matter. Last week The Speaker reâ€"produced the ediâ€" torial note from The Advance and addâ€" ed the following comment which will be read with interest by all concerned in this very impsortant matier:â€" "When about five years ago the Minâ€" ister of Lands and Forests decided to reduce the acreage of farm lots allowâ€" | ed each purchaser to eighty acres, Thej Speaker advanced reasons why this should not be done. Our opinions were endorsed by the Timmins Adâ€" vance and several wellâ€"informed farâ€" mers. Later the matter was, as stated in the extract from The Advance, dealt |with by the boards of trade, and we believe the action of the Minister in this matter has generally been disâ€" approved. _ However, the elections of ‘ 1926 passed without either side, or either party, referring to the subject, and we decided that we had no need to again refer to the matter. If the people most interested did not bring the subject to the attention of their representatives, then why should we? But since The Advance has again made a demand that settlers be allowed to 160 acres we extend our supâ€" "We believe an understanding has been given that so soon as a settler comulies with the regulations entitling him to a deed for his 80â€"acre lot he will be allowed to purchase another eightyâ€"acre lot. But it is not probable that this settler would be able to get his second location adjoining his first location, and this would be serious disadvantage to him as compared with those who settled here earlier and have 160â€"acre lots; and naturally will have the effect of retarding settlement. "Why did the Minister make the change from 160 to 80 acres for those ‘desiring farm lots? The general imâ€" pression is that it was because of trouble ovéer the collection of dues in regard to pulpwsod sold by settlers. Not being in possession of the facts we ityâ€"Acre Farm Not Large Enough. ma Fide Settlers Should Not be Penalized Because of the Fault of Others.

Newton Night Phones 237 151. : Timmins, Ont. TTMMINS, ONTARIO you are shall be content by suggesting that if the Department of Lands would . strictâ€" ly enforce the regulations enacted, and. compel all partiesâ€"ths men who sell: the pulpwood as well as those who buy itâ€"to compiy with those regulations, there nsed be no trouble. "When a man makes application to purchase Crown. Lands for actual setâ€" tlement he subscribes to certain condiâ€" tions under which sale will be made. We have copies of these conditions beâ€" fore us, and while we cannct give them in detail, we find that the purchaser agrees that "failure to comply with any of the regulations as regards selâ€" tlement shall render my claim liable to eancellation and will entail forfeiture cancsellation and will entaill FPOICIUULE of any monies paid on account of purâ€" chase of land." "We have also before us COpY .f "Regulations Governing the Cutting of Pulpwood cn Settlers‘ Land." These regulations are very explicis and far reaching. W s s P nc 6e n es o e "Why should the bonaâ€"fide seltler who has complied with all the reyulaâ€" tions governing the purchase of a Crown lot be penalized because others treat the agreement concerning settleâ€" ment which they have entered into wit:l-i- the Minister as merely of paper?" _ "The ambitious young farmer wARd has visions of going in for mixed farmâ€" ing extensively will not be likely to setâ€" tle on a buzsh farm unless he can purâ€" chase at least 160 acres. The man who works a small farm nearer a good city or town market where he can sell roots, vegetables and fruits as well as grain can do with a smaller farm. "However, we are sure the Hon. Wm. Finlayson is giving these perplexing problems serious consideration, and we believe he will in the end be successful in ascertaining what is best for the 4nd# for thosse residing in the Crown, and for thos Claybelt." *( eofinctoa tb As The Advance pointed out, and as The Speaker endorses, the plan of the 160â€"acre farm has been engorsed not only by leading farmers and others inâ€" terestsd, but it has also been strongly supported by Northarn Ontario un o n i o n M d s FREE TURKEY G\Alrlx-lvo w Associated Boards of Trade and other xlies The plan now appeats to be to renew the interest of the Associated Boards in the matter and also to havye all the newspapers of the North exâ€" press the general public opinion.

Experts Tell of Their Findings After Study of Th apprcach o‘ winter means the beginning of the season of colds, of bronchitis and of pnesumonia. The question then arises: Can these affecâ€" ticns be prevented? Ten years ago, a committes> composâ€". ed of scientists, of eminent physicians, and of representatives of the hygiene and statistical service of the Metroâ€" politan Life, made thorough study of influenza. The purpose of the study was to find, if possible, a means of conâ€" quering that disease. ‘The committee arrived at the following conclusicn: "We do not know its cause; we do not know how it is spread. But we do know that, in the influenza epidemic of 1918, the persons who made the best recovery were those wh3, when they felt the disease coming on, went home, called the doctor and went to bed, there they remained until the doctor told them to get up." How radically this advice differed from the advertisements which crowdâ€" ed the press at the time, urging the use of intemal and external medicines as a cure and preventive for influenza. The difference was as marked as is the distinetion between science and pseudoâ€" science. The commission, even after ten years of work, was willing to admit that it had not discovered the cause of the disease nor the method of conâ€" trol. It did, however, then proceed to give the best advice that could; under the circumstances, be substantiated by actual experienceâ€"advice that had proved mic. Experiments have also been made by the commission to discover the cause and means of prevention of common colds, and the commission says: ‘"We know of no spectacular cure or prevenâ€" tive for colds. Yet, we do know enough about the cold to cripple its power. We know that it is often spread by diâ€" rect or indirect contact with the case, through the discharges from the nose and throat." The following may help to protect some extoent people from contracting colds Avoid these infections by kesping away from psople who have colds, fever, csough or sore throat. Do not uunnecessarily put things into the mouth and nose. This applies to fingers and other contaminated objec!s, such as cups, sppoons, toys, etc. Keep the body fit and firm through normal, temperate living, with special attention to plenty of rest, and adeâ€" quate and varied diet, regular exerâ€" clise, especially in the open air and sunâ€" shine. This aids resistance. Avoid dusty, stuffy, crowded, overâ€" neated or underheated rooms. Cover th2 cough and screen tae sSnceze.

This will promote recovâ€" ery avoid complications and prevent the spread of the infection. Do not permit children with colds or symptoms which suggest that cold or a respiratory disease is developing to stay in school.> Better still, teach parents to kesp their children with !suc-h symptoms at home and in bed. This simple rule, if followed, will preâ€" vent many thousands of new cases among school children each year. SEEKING TITLE DEEDS OF DR. DRUMMONDS COTTAGE Reference was made in recent issues of The Advance to the fact that the cottage at ‘Kerr Lake in which the noted Habitant poet, Dr. Drummond, resided for some years had fallen into such bad condition that it had been sold at nominal sum to be broken up into firewood. Cobalt people did not wish this literary landmark of the district destroyed and so effort was made for the preservation of the cotâ€" tage. The board of trade at Cobalt appealed to the owners of the mining property on which the cottage is situâ€" ated to have something done to preserve the cottage. It was felt that the home of the noted Canadian poet was of parâ€" ticular interest to the residents of the wEse ESm istrict. The Cobalt Kiwanis club has now taken up the matter and has appointed a committee to approach the owners of the property on which the building is located.. Members of the committee are Rev. Fred Smith, G. A. Cavin, local representative of the minâ€" ing company, George Martin, Carl Reinhardt and Arthur Brocklebank, who bought the log house for firewood. The intention is to obtain, if possible, a title deed to the building and to a plot of ground surrounding it, Mr. Brocklebank will be recompensed for the outlay he made, a nominal sium d . BE C It is not planned to restore the building as a complete replica of its condition in earlier days, but further deterioraâ€" tion will be prevented and the house preserved in a reasonable stai2. :.] memorial tablet also is suggested. Prior to the appointment of the comâ€" f mittee. some discussion took place over a suggestion to puil down the house and erect, instead, a on the site of the building. But this proposal was turned down in favour of a scheme of moderate restoration. It is intended further to have path conâ€" structed from the main highway to the house, the route adopted to avoid the dangerous open cuts which are to be found on the property of :value in the previous epideâ€" THERE SHOULD BE VERY FEW SEPARATIONS IN TDIMMINS If Rev. Fr. O‘Commor, of Boston, is right in his theory, there should be fewer desertions of families in the North Land, as the woemen here are specially good cooks as may be proven by a visit to any of the teas, suppeors, or dinners, put on by any of the churches, lodges, or cther organizations that present these events. According to a aespatch from New Orleans, Georgia, heavy biscuits and seorched steaks have wrecked far more homes than seductive vamps. and nagâ€" ging wives have brought about more domestic rifts than almost any cther cause, in the opinion of Rev. Pather Georgs P. noted Boston soâ€" cial worker and director of the Catholic Charitable Bureau of that city, who came to New Orleans to speak before the National Conference of Catholic Charities on "Why Men Leave Home." He is a twoâ€"fisted minister, famous i during the war as chaplain of the fightâ€" ing 104th infantry, 26 division. "TI‘ll tell you what causes men to leave home." FatherO‘Connor told the deleâ€" gates, "it‘s poor ccoking, no man Can go on, day in and day out, with poorly f cooked food and retain any interest in j his home. Next to this comes naggin2 . for no man can love a woman who | nags him." Few men desert theivr families for other women. he declared, but mos? of the wives who desert do so because of other men. Father O‘Connor told his audience o a study made of desertions that were responsible for 2187 children being in orphanages. â€" The fathers were guilty of 70-â€"1;;1; cent. of the desertions, said; the mothers of 27 per cent. and both parents of 3 per cent. ‘"Many desertions," he said, "are due to peor housekeeping by an eager and inexperienced bride. If John is conâ€" stantly upset because of Mary‘s sOSgY biscuits and scorched steaks, there‘s no chance for harmony in the home.......... And,. toa, until women learn not.to mig,. there will be desertions." Detroit Free Press:â€"A Florida genâ€" tleman, if any, has been paying $30.00 per week. This was the ideaâ€" of the court. He pays it each week in coppers. The latter is his own idea. Apparentâ€" iy, he has at least a swoeet sort of disâ€" position.
