GUARD YOUR CHILD It is possible to eradicate diphtheria from Canada. No longer need this disease be feared. No longer need children suffer and die as a result of diphtheria. The menace can be with- drawn and children can be protected from this severe and frequently fata! disease. The germ which causes diphtheria is found in the throat and nose of those who are developing the disease or who actually have diphtheria. It persists for varying periods of time, during and after convalescence. Not a few apparently well persons are diphtheria carriers, that is. they har- bor the germ although they are well. Such being the case, it is obvious that, in our daily lives, we are almost sure to come in contact with juch in- dividuals and so be exposed to the, diphtheria germs which they throw j out in their coughs and sneezes or in I talking. The germs pass out in the! secretions of the mouth and nose, and may be transferred in the ways men- tioned or in any other way, such as by means of the common drinking-cup which allows for the secretions of one person to reach others. The only practical hope of controll- ing diphtheria is to render each indiv- idual invulnerable to the germs to whose attacks each one is exposed from time to time. Fortunately it is in our power to render ourselves resistant to such attacks. Wo can be Mary Matilda Tweed, wife of Mr. Wm. Pedlar of Rock Mills, w'.io pass- ed away on Tuesday of last week, was born in the townshin of Tiny in the year 18G3 and came to Artemesia township with her stepfather, James Plewes, who ran the "Little Mill,- was performed later known as Loucks' mill.

Miss Doll Barrett of Owen Sound attended t'he bride and Mr. Cecil Alexander sup- norted the groom.

We say of such an individual Helen (Mrs. John Wickens) of Kim- berley. The deceased lady was more or less bedfast since May. She was taken to the G. M. hos- pital in Collingtvood with the [hope According to rumors in Guelph, that city is s'hortly to have a new post office. Toronto Man Killed In Highway Accident One of the worst of the many car accidents which have occurred near Flesherton this year took place in front of Mr. Robt. Best's farm, 1% miles south of town Saturday after- noon. Fred Ockenden of Toronto was so severely injured thaa he died while being ^ taken to the Markdale hospital. Brian Smith, owner of the car, and Jack McCallum, all of Toron- to, were with him in the car at the time and the former received severe cuts and was kept in the Markdale hospital until Sunday. McCallum was uninjured. The accident is said to have occurr- ed when the driver lost control of the -ar as it was coming down the Red School Hill, at an allegedly admitted speed of 55 miles an hour. The cat- went into the ditch turned sideways and on hitting an obstruction leaped into the air landing on the car top 28 feet distant, throwing two of the oc- cupants 48 feet away and continued with another 23 foot leap, landing on top of a wire fence, where it came to rest, McCullum with it. Ockenden and Smith fell on a heap of stone*, the former receiving a fractured skull and the latter severe head cuts and bruises. Dr. J. E. Milne of town was L-alled to the scene, and the injured man was conveyed to the Markda!t hospital but dietl on the way thvre. Dr. Martin of Dundalk was called ann ordered an inquest to be held in Flesheiton on Saturday afternoon next at 2 p.m. The jury for tlv oc- casion is composed of Geo. Bracken- bury-, foreman. O. W. Phillips. G. B Welton. C. J. Bellamy, W. A.

The Hi"~- had made such progress that ccr... ^ame three weeks later. The funera ! took place on Thursday afternoon of last week, interment tak- ing place in Salem cemetery. The service was conducted by 'her pastor, Rev. Wolstencroft, of the Baptist church, with which she had been con- nected for eisrht years. Tne deceased I lady was very highly esteemed in the ! community, and a large concourse of friends attended to pay the.:r last re- 1 snects. The palbearers were Messrs. John i McKee, Fred Pedlar, Samuel Phillips, j j Thos. Philips, Ray and Laurie Pedlar. ' The floral offerings were profuse the casket being surrounded v.-!th a : beautiful bower of bloom. Amon?

It is possible to secure this immun- ity without being exposed to the suf- fering and danger which accompany the disease. By the injection of diphtheria toxoid, which is a perfectly harmless substance, the body of the person injected develops the same protective forces as are produced dur- ing an actual attack jot the disease, and so this person is rendered immune to diphtheria. , It is becacse this is so that our statement that diphtheria can be er- adicated from Canada is not merely a hope or a dream, but is a practical possibility which i; within our reach. We can make d: htheria disappear, but it will not tl-j so until each and every parent realize the responsibility to guard each and every child against diphtheria. When this is done, diph- theria will become a rare disease and the lives of children will be saved. 126 WAS THE NUMBER IN Bennett's Lucky Draw Ii' this is your number come in and qualify for the Marshall Mat- tress being given away free. 469 tickets were in the draw.

Many rec- ords will be shattered by both boys and girls in the junior and senior competition, judging by the perform- ances displayed in practice. iVe senior boys' events promise to be ex- ceedinly keen, the top hole of the vaulting standards being already too low. Every parent should come am! witness a whole afternoon's sport oi running, jumping and vaulting. A handsome shield is to be presented to the winning team of athletes, as well as medals for individuals, provides the necessary incentive.
