White Kings Squab Pigeons Carneux Squab Raising is a coming industry. Game is becoming scarce Squabs are a delicacy which are in great demand in high class hotels restaurants, clubs, steamboats, etc., and they command excellent prices. These pigeons are bred for great size. We imported our foun­ dation stock and got the best and can now supply a limited num­ ber Of mated pairs at reasonable prices. The above birds are very prolific and one pair of adult birds will raise as many as ten pair of young in a year. The Squab matures and is ready for market thirty days after being hatched, which meads quick returns. Now is the time to get into this business, Anyone who has a loft, Vacant chicken house or other building can get into this money making business at small expense. If interested you hiay see the pigeons at work Saturday afternoons. EXETER SQUAB FARM NORTH JOHN STREET PYM FAMILY REUNION The Pym family reunion was held at the home of IMr. and Mrs. A'lvin E.

THE CANADA TRUST COMPANY Administrator With Wiill annex­ed, LONDON Ontario, By its Solicitors—»- CARLING & MORLEY/ Exeter, Ont FREED FROM PAIN AT 95 What a great thing it must be for this woman, after suffering from rheumatism for many years, to be free from pain again at her age. She writes,—“I should like to tell you that since I commenced taking Krus- chen Salts two years ago, I am com­ pletely relieved of rheumatism, from which I had been a great sufferer for many years. I am now in my 9'5th year, and much appreciate be­ ing free 'from pain, which I attribute to the reigular dose of Kruschen,”— (Mrs,) A. E. IS. If only everyone would realise that the “little daily dose of Kruschen,” is just as important to internal cleanliness as soap and water are to external cleanliness, there would soon be no more constipation, no more sluggish livers, no more rheu­ matism, gout or lumbago. Kruschen is a combination of six salts—each one is necessary to some particular organ of the body.
