How to Ward on ROup.

Roup is one of the most dreaded of
diseases. 1t is sometimes spoken OF
as the winter disease. The symptoms
are hoarse breathing, swelled eyes,
discharge at the nostrils and some
times u fetid breath. Treatment is
not generally satisfactory. The af-
fected birds should be removed, the
house cleansed and disinfected.
Damp, foul air and cold drafts in the
poultry houses should be carefully
avoided whenever fowls are subject
to roup. A decrease in the proper
tion of corn and an increase in the
proportion Of meat food in the daily
ration is held by some to be highly
beneficial in warding of this disease

ALL WANT THE BEST.

We live in an agn of inn aproHesaaer1ts, and each individual should aim to en- joy the benefit of the advances made in all departments of life. No one would be likely to-day to prefer the old slow going stage coach to the electric car or automobile. We all prefer gas or electric light to the candle, and so on through all the innumerable advan- tages of modern ideas and appliances, we are all endeavoring to avail our selves of the latest and best. There are some people, however, who, when it comes to painting seem to prefer to stick to the old method of buying lead and oil, and mixing these with pad dle. Not so many people making paint that way nowadays-fewer of them every year. Gradually people arc learning that machinery and mills get the lead and oil together better and closer than is possible by hand. The machine made article wears long CT, covers more and is less liable to fade. The II. w. Johns Liquid Paints for 30 years have been growing in popularity-because they are well made, of pure materials. They have be- come recognized generally as the Standard Paints for Structural Purposes" Address H. w.

THE STREET AND VICINITY.
 Benevolently disposed people would do we'll to look out for first class frauds who go about to the officers of Chris tian Endeavor societies and churches, telling a plausible story of being out of work and sickness, desiring small loan to enable them to reach home, and showing the certificates of pre- siding elder or some other minister, which are probably forgeries.
 MT and Mrs Lamphier visited her parents.
 Several of our people went to South Britain to hear the elder preach.
 MT Perry's old family horse met with curious accident. The other morning, when they went to the past ure to get the horse nothing was to be seen but the head and shoulders. The more surprise as it was plain dry lot and has always been plOWed and mOW- ed. Help was procured and by digging and prying and pulling he was extrica- ted from his uncomfortable position, when it was found that an old well that had not been used for 100 years was the cause of the trouble.
 The place was sold to AdinO Strong in 1712 with a new frame standing thereon. The house was built by ] man named Bryan and his son, Ebene- ger, occupied the place in 17S5. The old hunters used to assemble at this house and try their guns in the sand hill and as lead was valuable they could dig it out and melt it over again This gave the name Bullet Hill to the small sand hill, afterwards to the large hill near and finally to the whole dis trict.
