a failure; Easter Sunday was a dis

worst of all. What’s the world com

The W.C.T.U. held their regular
monthly meeting on Monday, March
26th in James St, Church, Mrs.
Miners, Vice-President, presiding.
Mrs. Amy, Evan. Supt., conducted
the devotional exercises, Mrs. S.
Skinner reading the Scripture, 14th
chapter of St. John which she ex
plained in a very helpful and prac
tical manner. The clip sheet was led
hy Mrs. Miners, which brought out
some important items; first .stating
that Ontario purchased last year al
most 50 million dollars worth of in
toxicants, More recent Government
returns show that the Government
traffic at Liquor Stores and Brew
ery Warehouses is steadily growing
Instead of eight million Government
profit the Treasury Dept, hopes that
1929 will yield nine millions. That
expended would be more than a mil
lion a week lor liquor,. You would
think there ought to be a huge sur
plus in the Government Treasury,
with so large a liquor income. But
it is actually less than $30d,000.
The Irish Free State with .a popu
lation of less than three million has
13,000 licensed houses. Alarmed in
1927 the Government enacted ‘'The
Intoxicating Liquor Act” which at
once wiped out 400 licensed houses,
it is expected it will dispose of simi
lar number each year until about
one-third of the 13,000 are .gone.

Heart All Wrong

Very Miserable
One of the first danger signals an

heart is the irregular beat or violent

immediately .before the trouble gets
worse.
Mrs. W. G. Barton, Domvillo, Out.,
writes:—"One spring I was very much
run down and my nerves got very bad.
My heart seemed all wrong in its beat
ing, and I was feeling, very miserable.
