THURSTON *^ Asst. EditOQ LIQUOR FAMILY COMBINE, ^ An illuminating trial under the Liqi&)r Control Act took place pt Collingwood on Wednesday of last week. Three men were in evidence as possessing government permits, and it was proven that they had been sold liquor by the official ven- dor as follows: John Nobes â€" Be< twecn July 17 and August 23, one month and six days. 250 quarts and 192 pints of beer, 21 bottles of spit- its, and 7 Rallons draught beer. Armand Beauregard, brother-in-law of Nobts, was sold on his permit 23-; quarts, ()6 pints of beer and 60 bot- tles of spi.-i'.j since April last. Sidney Lester, another brother-in- law, on his permit had purchasin;, since last August, 144 quarts, 1)6 pints of beer and 14 bottles uf spirits. Nobes, charged with keeping liquor, for sale, men having been seen en- tering h! ; premises, swc e that the intoxicnnts were consumed by himse:; and hii relations. The magistrate did not belic\i' him, cancelled his permit and rtnt him to jail for two months. The brothers-in-law were not put on trial, and pio'U.T.ably cp.-. continue to buy and consume as in the pa?t. .i.,L '''^; EDIT<)RL\L NOTES j^"" thcm, there seems to be no end. The latest held â€" that on Psychology, held i.i New Haven, Conn. â€" tells us how 'o sleep bc.it, a most u.u'ful aid to the human race, in these days of night and day artificial noises. The decision reached in the symposium on sleep wus that the grreatcst possible relaxation is afforded by curling up like a kitten. To sleep "like a log"' may be a bad sign, a warning of over-strain. A bed that is too nar- row or badly designed simply limits the number of postures that are fa- vored. Pictures taken by observers of typical sleepers showed that an ordinary man lies in nine different postures in eight and one third hours. He shifts from one to another thirty- three times, remaining quiet for per- iods of two to fifty-six minutes. The "wives of middle aged men" were found by 'hese investigators, who had motion pictures to support their con- clusions, were found to be about as I restless as athletes. The middle- I aged men engaged in professional work were found to be a little more I restless than the athletes, but not so I much as young children. It was I found that young children wait about three times as long as adults to go to sleep after going to bed. These findings a e interes'ing, but might have been more useful to those of us who live near main highways if the savants had included in them a recipe for securing immunity from wakeful- ' reas superinduced by the noises from i'.l-conditioncd veliirko and the nerve- racking horns cai ied by them. We recommend furlh'jr inquiry, 'o include I rlso rome advir.-. lookinir to relief to those afflicl;-l I-.v f.leep'.c-ssness arising from ncar-ty snorcvs. PRICEVILLE t Health Service t 'i .$. ,1. - Cf lh2 - CAXADi/.rs MED.

Wc fear the premier is under a inisapprehension. Our infor- mation is tha' there is never a vac- ancy on th'.' Bench, in any part of the Dom!r.!'jn, where there arc not dozens of good lawyers ready and willing to accept the office. Judges are human; they may, like other folks, agitate for more pay af er Ihty get the job, bui as candidates for appointment all of them arc .eady to serve, at present pay, and r -k no questions. • « • The Bruce village of Hepworth U ♦.aking its supply of electricity from the Foshay Company, and a lively celebration when the lights were turned on. In Cjrey Ciiunty the Foshay Company have contracted with the Couniil of Shallow Lake to supply electrici'y on advantage()u.s terms. The councillors in both places believe they are getting bettc; terms than those offered by the Ontario Hydro, and perhaps there i.-i some ground for â- this imprt <si(in. At any rate, a little more competition may impress our Provincial electric managcis that swest reasonableness is always pre- ferable in dealing with customers. • • • Death.s from auto accidents, direct- ly caused by liquor drinking, co itinuc to be recorded in the province with startling regularity. The latent was on the highway, near Sunnidalc, Sim- coe Coun'y, in which, as was proved at the inquest, all four of the occu- nants of n car were debauched by intoKicants, and unable to keep t*ieir car out of the ditch. Two "slept it off" but the third was found in the car, lying on his face, suffocated. This "ragcdy was the sequel to the nurchane in Barrie on the mme day of four bottles of spirits and two cases of beer, all of which seem to have been consumed by them on Sunday, th« day of the tragedy, empties being found in the car! No comment is required to briie home the lesson to the populace.

Modern profjress has found new ways to combat it â€" but natural physical factors plus human carelessness make it always possible. \ ou nuist protect your property with adequate fire insurance â€" why take chances? Come in and discus.s your insurance problems with us. Let us show you how you can safeguard your property at an exceeding- ly small cost. W. J. W. Armstrong General Insurance Having been p.sked frouuently as to the romov,-l of v.-ax fror^i the ears, we are prcmptcd to write that, there Is rrrtridcrable l.-u'h in the old saying j ''.Xeve.' put anything into your ear smaller th:n your elbow". It is a niis.ske which many mothe: j make, ' that of trying to remove wax from deep in the ear. if wax does coll- ect there, and it .â- .ol infrequently does ! lo the extent of intcvfcring with hear- ii;^, it should bo removed by ;i doctor, improper rueans uf removal may do ccnsiderable permanent harm. It ii into the mouth, however, rath er than int) tho ear, that so many tl.ir.sTJ CO which ccrtairiiy <'.o not bcl- I lo:ig there. Food, dii.f-.k and tooth- I brush are tho only objects which : should po into the mouth, althaugh I fingers, car-tickets :md money are often placed there. The simple I icason why the latter .should not is ! that it is through the mouth most ' di.sease germs enter tho body. Any- I thing which may he soiled with human secretions should be kept out of the mouth, because such secretions may carry disease germ.i. The car ticket given out by the conductor , fhetiuently with finger;* moistened with saliva and then hand- led by our hands or gloves which have touched many things that might be soiled by saliva or other secretions, should not go into the mouth. I In most cases there is no actual ' danger because diea.se germs, in gen- ' eral, die quickly outside of the human body by drying. However to avoid the very real danger that does lie in this habit, it is necessaty to develop the opposite habit of never placing in the mou'h things which are out of pliu'e there. It is through the consistent practice al' .'such habit â- , that each one of us can do mu;h to develop the opposite habit of never placing in the mouth thing:; which are out of place there. I It is th ough the cunsisienl pract- ice of such habits that each one of us cai do much to cr *ure protection from disease. It may soem to be a small '. thing, but it is one of tho smail tiiing.s which have an an effect beyond what one who did not see their importance would expect. Keep things where they belong, and so, keep disease >."erms out of the mouth. This constituted the patriotic part of the service. An anthem was then rendered by the choir Mr. r.nd Mr.s. Noil McLeod.
