Editor THE COURT COSTS Recently a word was said on this page respecting police court costs. At the time, a couple of cases cited by the Bracebridgc Gazette, were mentioned. Now comes another in- stance where the costs appear quite beyond reason. It is from Chesley and as reported by the Chesley Enter- prise recounts that four men were found playing cards with money on the table between 12 p.m. and 1 a.m. On Sunday. All pleaded guilty and one man was fined $-10 and costs am- JDunting to $24.90, while the others Were fined $10 each plus costs of $24.90 each. While without sympathy for the gamblers and without objec- tion to their fines it would seem but fair to enter a protest against -such bills of costs. Think of $24.'JO costs for an ordinary police court case. It Phuulil be merely sufficient to carry a case through a county court and on to a supreme court. There may be eome explanation, but at this distance it would appear that the midnight gamblers lost their "pot", with no chance to make a good draw. Coll- ingwood Bulletin. EDITORIAL NOTES consequences will result from you doing so. It is a foolish pursuit and should be discouraged. Mrs. Thos. Atkinson Died Christmas Day There passed away at her honle on the Collingwood Gravel Road, Ea-3t ot Rock Mills, on Christmas day, an old and respected citizen of Artemesia township, in the person of Mrs. Mat- ilda Atkinson, widow of the late Thomas Atkinson, in her 71-st year. The late Mrs. Atkinson, whose maiden name was Matilda Belts, wa. born near Birmingham, England, and came to Canada with her parents, the late Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Belts, when but a girl 11 years of age. She was married when but a young woman to Thomas Atkinson and to them were born four children, two sons and two daughters. The de- ceased lady had been a great suffer er from rheumatism for about twenty years, but she bore her suffering with great patience. There are left to mourn one daugh- ter, Ada, who has cared for her moth- er through all these years of suffer- ing, and two sons, Carl, of Victoria Corners and Lome, of Rock Mills. One daughter passed on a number of years ago and her husband pre'J,;- ceased her nine years ago in March. There are also two brothers, Thos of Rock 'Mills and Levi Belts ol Flesherton, and three sisters, Mrs. E. Binnington and Mrs. John Rob- ertson of Maxwell and Mrs. John Porteous of Flesherton.

Several fine recitations were given by Orval Russell, Fred Belts. Lawrence Phillips, Laurie Russell, Jack Monaghan and Bessie Ru-ssell.

Geo Dorey, Superintendent of Missions foi the United Church in Southern Sask- atchewan with his headquarters in Rc- g-ina. Something both of the need and the magnitude of the undertak- ing 1 to meet that need is apparent from the contents of the letter.

No longer does the treatment of disease consist in incantations mysterious potions, and offarings to the spirits. Today, medicine i-s a science based upon investigation, experiment and analysis. The rapid progress made during the past fifty years has in- cluded not only the diagnosis and trealment of disease, but also its pre- vention. The result is that we are bettei equipped to treat and to prevent dis- ease than were our ancestors. Thert is, however, still much to be learned There are diseased conditions about which we know little or nothing, and so We are unable to cope with them. However, we do possess a greater fund of knowledge than ever before and the real problem which now faces us is how to make full use of know- ledge which we have. It is at this point that the question c" personal responsibility must he considered. If each one of us, as an individual is to benefit by present day medical knowledge, then he must be prepared to do his part. Your family doctor is not a mag- ician. He cannot promise cures; the help he can give is limited by the knowledge he possesses. He does offer you the full benefits of medical science, and as there are no secrets in medicine, he has arcess to all the medical information which it available. In order to secure his services, you must ask for them, and it is your responsibility to make use ot his -services Do not try to treat yioursell 1 . The chief objection to self-medication is thai it delays pro- per treatment. Such delay may be serious, for we know that many ser- ious and chronic diseases have their beginning in what are apparently trivial conditions. Your responsibility is to secure proper treatment early. The best time to consider disease is when the most can be done for it, and that is before it becomes firmly rooted in the body. Every advance case of cancer was, at one lime, a local condition which could have been cured. Tuberculosis begins as a localized disease. Chronic heart and kidney diseases do not be- gin as serious conditions; they develop out of mild and generally neglected stages of disease. No one but yourself can assume the responsibility which i-s yours. By means of the periodic health examin- ation, you may pass much of the re- sponsibility to your doctor, because such an examination gives him the opportunity of finding diseased con- ditions early. If you are not ex- amined regularly by your doctor, it is necessary for you to pay attention to minor conditions of ill-health, if serious and chronic conditions are to be prevented. Your responsibility is to secure EARLY TREATMENT. Chain letters seem Id In- the rage again.

DICSIMSUI) NICKEL One result of the depression, as a contemporary sees it, is that the long despised five-cent piece has been re- stored to popular favor. So says the Milvi-rton Sun. It would be a very irood thing for mankind generally, and womanhood too, not forgetting the children, if the five-cent piece again gained recognition as being of mone- tary value. In recent years, when everyone was so prosperous, people l>e-came ncoustomed to thinking about talking about and spending dollars, they for(?ot entirely that dollars wen- just a multiplication of cents. Then .ami 1 the depression. Dollars became few and far between. So much so that people, some slowly, some quickly came to the realization that the five- cent pioce was a whole twentieth of a dollar, something to be looked on with favor, something of real value. Depressions aro not popular, but if the present one has brought people back to the realization that cents are just as important as dollars, it wil) have tinn of the service you have rendered in the delivery of His Majesty's mails Wo realize that during the winter, owing to weather conditions, your work becomes at times somewhat dif- ficult, but we have always found you faithful in the discharge of your duty.

WON CHAIR AS PRIZE Mr. Alfred Down received a fine living room chair on Monday as third prize in a tire selling competition held this past summer. This compe- tition took in the entire Toronto dis- trict of the Firestone Tire Corpora- tion and included a large territory. Mr. Down will also attend a conven- tion of the Company, as their guest, early in the year. He is to be con- gratulated on the high number of sales of Firestone tires he made to achieve this distinction. Sometimes cold feet will cause a pain in the vicinity of the back bone of industry. Durham is getting better and butter known among poultry fanciers as the place where most of the prizes go. Mark Wilson, well known locally, added to the local laurels with seven exhibits at the Guelph Winter Fair last week. With these seven entries Mr. Wilson took six prizes.
