WBDNBSDAT, FBDBUAAT M, 1N4 THE FLESHERTON ADVANCE A MODERN HIGHWAY Motorist* in Italy are kaiH to Ik- extremely good drivers. ThoJjfh drivini; at a rapid rate, they do not indulice in the rice of cuttinjr-in. There is a hint here perhaps, for the American continent, since Italy has some really modem roads, built to permit motor cars to make fast time, and this undoubtedly has gomething to do with the fact that cultin(?-in is rare. What need, for instance, to cut-in alontr the "autostrada" running between Florence and ViarcgKio, a wonderful road fifty miles long gen- erally covcre<l in an hour? This autostrada is up to date, and abso- lutely safe for all speeds. All the old roads are crossed by bridjfes and there are numerous small bridges for pedestrians. The autostrada can b« entered by cars at \'illages and various other points where there are toll sta- tions. It costs about $1.25 for the fifty miles, but the traffic, in spite of that, is very heavy. Local and Personal There are at present 1,900 people on relief in Owen Sound, comprising 493 (families, a few more than last year. The average cost of food per day per person is 12.13 cenU. Keeve H. A. McCauley is in Toron- to thik week. A carload of hockey fans attended the Toronto Maple Leaf and Bruin game in Torooto on .Saturday night.

Wolstencroft in tha chair The pi*ogram was carried througl as outlined' and as the committee hac ari-anged. The attendance was small- er than usual, owing no doubt, large- ly, to the cold weather. The collec- tion which has been sent to the Inter- board Treasurer, Miss Bessie Mac- Murchy, Toronto, amounted to $2.00. The committee, to arrange the next year's meeting, is as follows: Mrs. W. I. Henry, Mrs. Wolstencroft and Mrs. Chris. Thompson. Low temperatui"e« are still pre- vailing in this district, the thermom- eter hitting 30 below Tuesday morn- ing, moderating by afternoon to 8 degrees above. High winds have drifted the roads full again and from Sunday to date there has -not been any traffic on the provincial high- ways. The county road to Ceylon is still open and motor traffic is still operating between FIcsherton and Kimberley.

Dundalk reports ice 26 inches thick at the quarry on Clarence Lonsway's farm on the provincial highway. John Alexander McEvoy of Toron- to has been appointed as judge of the High Court of Ontario to succeed the late Juitice W. H. Wright. The Markdale Hydro Commission has been busy thawing out frozen water pipes by nisans of electricity. By nicyns of a large transformei mounted on a motor truck, lines are run to the main power lines and art connected up with the pipes in tht residences. The current is thus sent into these frozen pipes in a short circuit and heats them between tht two attached lines, resulting in com- pletely thawing them, under ground as well, and thus saving the expensive procedure of digging them up. Wm. Campbell of Dundalk, prom- inent insurance agent, passed away on Friday with an attack of pneumonia. Angus McDonald of Saugeen town- ship, Bruce county, had his foot sev- ered in town when the trunk of a tree he was cutting lodged in another tree, bounded back and lit on his foot while he was attempting to escape. He was taken to the Walkerton hos- pital. •â-  • • Roads Still Blocked Visitors Failed to Visit On invitation the Markdale Y.P.S. were to visit the young people of St. John's United church last evening. No doubt the extremely cold weather was responsible for their adsence. The visiting society was to have giv- en the program, but our young people were not "left in the lurch" as the regular social meeting was held, con- tests and games were enjoyed, follow- ed by lunch. "Could we take the kittens to the Zoo. Mummie?" "Oh. why, darling?" 'Tlien we could ask the storks to oliange them for a baby." Small Advts.

Vause Proton, Ont A HEALTH SERVICE or THE CANADIAN MEDICAt .ASSOCIATION AND LIFEBS^^ ♦NSUHANCE COMPANIES IN CANADA GOOD AIR ESSENTIAL . ^ y^- o Millions of cells go to make up the human body. Each cell must have oxygen or it will die. Each cell must get rid of the waste carbon dioxide which it produces or it will perish. The simplest forma of life consist of one cell; they secure the oxygen they require direct from the water in which they live. The human body requires a special arrangement for oxygen to i-each all its cells. Air is taken into the lungs; the oxygen of the air is carried from the lungs, by the red corpuscles of the body, to every nook and corner of the body, delivering oxygen to all cells, and picking up and carrying bacR to the lungs their waste product, carbon dioxide. It is not so many years since it was believed that the ill effect* of peer ventilation wera due to lack of oxygaa- or to an excess of carbon dioxide ifl the air breathed into the lungs. We know now that this belierf waa not correct, for even in a poorly v>t'ntilated room, under ordinary conditions of lir* ing, there is always plenty of oxygM for the needs of the body and never enough carbon dioxide to do any harm. The ill effects of poor ventil- ation are due, not to chemical change* in the air, but rather to its physical condition. What is harmful is tha over-heated, still air that is loaded with moisture, because such air make* it difficult for the body to get rid of its heat, and the condition interfere* with the heat regulation of the body. To express this idea in a positive way, it means that if you are to keep ' your home ventilated, you must not allow it to become too warm, and that the air must be kept in gentle motion by means of an inlet (window) built on one side of the room, and an outlet opposite (door or window). Most homes and work places are - kept too warm. In England people accustom themselves to living in rooms of about 62 degrees Fahrenheit. We believe that 68 degrees Fahren- heit should be a maximum, but many people complain if the temperature of their living-rooms is not nearly 80 degrees. One practical problem in the veri« tilation of the liome is that it i« difficult, if not impossible to have the temi)erature comfortable for both sexes at the same time, unless men and women come somewhat closer in their ideas as to what clothing to wear indoors. Obviously, a man with hi* usual clothing will ber unduly warm in a room which is comfortable for a woman in her usual attire. Fresh air is desirable because it promotes health and a sense of well- being. Lack of fresh air predisposes to infections of the respiratory tract, common colds and pneumonia, which are common in winter when we live in over-heated, stuffy rooms. Maintain the temperature slightly below seventy degrees Fahrenheit and keep the ait in very gentle motion; in this way, you will enjoy the benefits of good air. Game Postponed Due to the bad roads the second game between Flesherton and Shel- bume, on the latter's ice, has not yet been played. Three postponements have be«n made, the last one Monday evening, when it was found the road was blocked after travelling about a mile from town, the drifts being too- heavy to push through. It is unfort- unate that the game has had to bo postponed so many times, but the fault does not lie with the Flesherton club. However, the game will likely be played this weSk. )M»»0<»«»»«» Small Advts. Lost or Straved SPREAD LOST Horse spread lost between Newell's mill and the church shed, Flesherton.
