| Spring fishermen are now getting
ready for their work, knitting their
seines and spinning yarns. If all
the fish caught in the stores in the
fishing sections, after the first of

whole world for the next ten years.
The chairman of the Ministerial

Eleven new cases of influenza have
been reported since noon yesterday,
and with nine more that did not
reach the Office of the Health Officer
in time for yesterdays report, there

Kissing is said to be very dam
gerous pleasure at all times; there
are so very many different kinds of
germs in the human system, and

last night because the odd folks
were sitting up with them, seemed
totally oblivious to germs of every
kind.

If there is any place mole danger
Gus for automobiles and pedestrians

There are many autom obilists who
are always in hurry; town, county
and State regulations have no ter
ror for them; they drive at rate Of
speed that if maintained in their
business, social and religious duties,
would wind up their careers in about
one-fourth of the usual time allotted
to mankind. They are always in a
hurry; if the speed limit is twelve
miles, they drive at not less than
fifteen; if the limit is fifteen, they
drive at twenty. They are always
ready to tell about how fast the 9TH
er fellow drives, but they never
think it is anyone's business how
fast they drive Through careful
driving upon the part of others they
often make narrow escapes; they
think laws were made for others, but
not for them; they think their alleg-
ed superior skill as drivers makes
them entirely free from all restric-
lions Of any kind. Does anyone
know of any of these kind?
