Beautifying the Home Grounds Let KEYS In the recent investigation irto the affairs of the iddlesex County jail at London, Ont., it was shown that one of the prisoners, who escaped, made a key out of a tin cup. The ingenuity of prisoners, bent on sec- uring their freedom, Is frequently reported. But it is not often con- sequences so untoward to the impris- ond fraternity accrue from the ex- ercise of their inventive talents iis that which followed the carving of a key from a tooth brush, success- fully undertaken by a convict in the Penetentiary at Kingston. This oc- curred over 30 years ago, when the late Douglas Stewart â€" a stickler for proprieties â€" was Inspector of Pene- tentiEries. When it was discovered that Mr. Lundy Johnston spent a couple of days in Toronto. Mr. Henderson of Caledon spent a few days with his cousin, Mr. .'Mf. Dunlon Mr and Mrs Will Burrell of Sli^o spent the week end with Mr. and Mrs. R. Genoe. Mrs. Geo. Warling is visiting friends in Markdale. Mr. Howard Graham spent a coup- le of weeks driving the Institute sneakers who have been lecturing throughout the county. Mr. Will Hutchinson has returned to the community after spending a few weeks with friends at Emory. Mrs. F. R. Buland and little dau- ghter, Nellie, and Mrs. Lundy John- frton have been in attendance with Mrs. Hare of Markdale who was run over by a horse sonie time ago. Mrs. Hare is now on a fair way to recov- ery. A large number from here attend- de the co-operative annual meeting, in Markdale on Friday. The add- resses of Messrs Gilroy Acheson and I Robt. Morrison were splendid. A very interesting and instructive debate was held in the school house In Canada during the yeftr l!t2(5 there occurred 022 deaths from diph- theria. This represents a tremendous amount of suffering, both bodily and mental, the loss of precious lives, and the phy.=ical damaging of many that recovered; in addition, the resultant expense might be mentioned. This is a deplorable condition, when it i.s realizad that we know as much if not more about diphtheria than we do of any other disease. The germ that causes it is known, its method of spread is understood, there is a specific cure fr it, and, best f all, there is a satisfactory and effective meeans of prevention. The question that naturally arises is that if such be the case, why do so many cases, of death continue to oc- cur? The' answer to this question is that whilst we have a cure and a pre- ventive, they are not being used on everyone, and until they are, cases and deaths will continue to occur. Diphtheria antitoxin is a spific cure if given in sufficient amount on the first day of the disease. Deaths oc- cur when this is not done. Cure de- pends upon securing promp treat- iii'-nt. The usual reason for delay is that parents wait until to-morrow to see if the child is better before cal- ling the doctor. Injections of diphtheria toxoid (An- atoxin Ramon) or of toxiuTantoxin will develop, in the individual injected a resistance to diphtheria (immunity) similar to the resistance developed among those who recover from an at- tack of the disease. As diphtheria deaths occur chiefly amongst children of pre-school age, these children should be immunized or protected again* diphtheria.

Shrubbery with a few fl )wer8 usually is all that is necessary ;o take away the bare look and -mi.' e the home much more inviting. In some cases it ma;- be necessary to grade the lawn to nake a more even surface, or an c::'..nsion of the lawn surface may be desirable to' give a better setting to the buildings. An application of on â-  to two pounds of limestone, and o; e quarter to one half pound of b&e' • slag, per squar-a yrird will supply t a elements' usually lacking and help to secure a good stand of Kentucl :y blue grass, which is the best lawn grass. One quarter ounce of this grnss seed to a square yard, scattered evenly, is thick en- ough, and good lawns are possibl? by using half this amount. It is wise to use some shrubbery towrTd the co'mer of the house and at each side of the entrance to the house. The heavier and deeper plants should be at the corners with lighter plantings at th4 entrance. Shrubbery useful for planting is' not very expen- sive if small plants aboojt 18 inched tall are used. The small pia»ts trans- plant more easily and they will soon grow to give the desired effect. The Bush Honeysuckle (Lonicera tatar- ica rosea); Japanese Bush Honey- suckle (Lonicera Merrowi), more dwarf and spreading than the others; Waxbsrry Symphoricarp&o racemos- us) and Mock Orango (Philadelphus coronarius or P. grandiflorus) are excellent for corner plants The Bridal Wreath Spiraea (Spirp.ea Van Hout- tei); Spirae Thumbergii, a lower growing spiraea similar to the above and Japanee Barberry (Berberis Thumbergii) are suitable for plant- ing towfrds the entrance. The lower growing plants are set in front or at the side of the taller ones. They are of the local politicans is probably un- founded, tnd there may be some quest- ionings around the mouth of the Big Head when the facts become known and gradually sink.

Raper of that place has several old well peraerved English newspaper*, one of them being over 400 years old, issued on July 2.'?rd, ir)88. This paper was published at tli'^ time of the Spanish Armada Wi'a to have annihilated the English Navy and the description of events leading up to the battle is given. Witehall, July 2.3rd, 1588, is the place and date of publication ("by authorite") of "The English Mer- curic," which on its front page bears to the Englis.h nation fr-om the Lord High .\dniir;.l of the Floet, the stirr- ing news that "the .Spanish Armada is making for the entr.^nce of the channel with a favorable gale!" De- spite the fact that there were no rad- ios, telegraphs, telephones, or steam- ships in those days and, in the words of the "Mercurle": "Though this in- telligence was not received until foure in the aftcrnoone, and the Winde at that time blew hard into the sound, vet by the indefatigable Care and niligoncc of the Lorde High Admir- al (Lord Howard of Effingham) the Ark-Royal (his flagship) with five of the largest frigato.=, anchored out , of the horbour (off Plymouth) that very Evoningee." "The next Morn- inge, the "reatest part of her Maj- t.itie's Fleet gott out to them. They made in rll about eighty Sail, divid- ed into four Squadrons, commanded l)y his Lordship in Person, and Sir Francis Drake, Vice-Admiral. and the Rear-Admirals, Hawkins and Frobishcr." Throe pages of infor- mation follow, but this is all wo need to know. Our history tells us what happened when the English fleet un- (ier Lord Howard of Effingham "gott out to them!" But it was an anxious time for Britain. .At the very moment that the great or "invincible Armada" of the 132 ships and 30,000 men un- der the command of the Duke of Med- ina Sidonia was about to annihilate the British navy, otlier menace nppear2d, viz: the picked Spanish r.rmy of 30,000 men under the Duke of Parma occupying the Flemish ports, and awaiting only the des- truction by the Armada of the Eng- li;;h fleet to join forces with the Duke of Medina and inarch on London. The repulse of the .Armada was the event of the first historical import- ance. It marked the failure of King Philip II of Spain to establish the supremacy of the Ilapsburg dynasty and the church of Rome. and arranged to give a rounding base line at the corners and from house wall to walk. It is wise to plant two or three plants of one variety to- gether to give a group effect when they grow, and it is wise to have one group predominate. That is, there may be three plants of one kind, two of another and one of another to- gether. Or the plantings may have more plants according to the size of the dwelling. It is wise to leave ons- third of the base line of the dwelling without planting. Along the edge of this planting flowers in groups of perennials or annuals may be set. If the border of the \avm is to be planted, an irrgulr..r planting may be made up of Lilacs, Japanese Hydran- gea, Hydrangea arborscens, Golden Bell, Sibenira Pea tree. Golden Elder Red-branched dogwood, Weigela rosea and W. Eva Rathke, which are some of the best deciduous shrubs. CLEAN 'EM UP This is the Time to Clean Up your Slow Accounts.

A Quarrel That Helped Thornbury Review-Herald.) A good stroke of business was done for the Beaver Valley when Meaford sent a Reeve and Deputy to Owen Sound who exhumed the petty 7th and 0th line dispute again after it had been Riven a decent burial la t year. .\s a result of the efforts of Reeve Homer Reid sr.d Deputy-Reeve Noble Arthur of Mteaford, the County Coun- cil agreed to hold up work on the 7th line until after the June session, when the council could visit the scene and form their own conclusions. Then it went on, and with the votes of both Meaford Reeves, passed a res- olution to send 'the idle outfit to work from Clarksburg south, commencing in the spring. Once the outfit is moved and start- ed on the Valley road it will not be returned to St. Vincent until this work is completed â€" and several County Councillors say not even then. They are tired of the Meafor<l- St. Vincent-Euphrrsia squabble. The thanks of the Beaver Valley ane extended to Mes.^rs.
