I tried Kruschen Salts, and the effect was magical. The pain subsided and the depression l.'fted like a cloud. I have taken the d'a-ily dose of Kruschen ever since. That was about five years ago, and the Kruschen does not lose its effect.”— (Miss) E. M. H. Kruschen is so effective with ac­ id because it neutralises acid, takes all the torment out of it, and gently expels it from the system. And by stimulating youiv organs of elimina­ tion to perfect regular action. Krus- dhen will prevent this harmful' acid from ever accumulating again. After that you’ll .experience no more mis­ ery after meals. $4,221.33 Taken in Cash and $7,- 023.96 Taken by Cheque Accord­ ing to F. A. Gibbs’ Report.

The audit, a copy of which has been forwarded to Warden Jas. Bal- lantyne, cover the years 1929-30-31- 32 and up until August 18, 1933, the date of the Treasurer’s arrest. Part of 1927 and all of 1928, during which the not convicted man held office, are included in the audit. Defalcations by Years The auditors’ report, given in min­ ute detail, at the outset gives a table of defalcations by years under the columns of "Receipts” meaning cash taken in and not accounted for, and “cheques” or money drawn from the County of Huron account by Young and' deposited in his own current and savings accounts. Young alone .sign­ ed the County cheques while he was treasurer. The table: Receipts Cheques Total 1798.58 2699.66 2898.03 3,5-57.44 1929 1930 1931 1932 19313 Aug.

There is page after page of this with comments, or explanatory notes tpyed opposite the entries which go to make up the shortage. Missing cheques are marked “X.” For instance, in 1928 posited $3115.93 in his account and in 1929 he $3,711.78. The auditor comments: — "Other cheques which were not trace­ able to Young’s bank account appear to be duplicate salary cheques. Young’s salary cheques were all seen and since his salary was the only monthly payment of $137.50, these payments have been taken as excess salary drawn.” Then followed a detail report of deposits in Young’s saving account, with those amounts traceable to county’s funds underlined. Young de­ own bank deposited the Much Cash Taken The amount of $4,221.33 in was taken.

Was a Nervous Wreck Had Bad Dizzy Spells Mrs. Adelard Brabant, Blizzard Valley, Ont., writes:—“I was a nervous wreck, also had dizzy spells and shortness of breath. I was so nervous I could not stay alone, and would lie awake most of the night. I was not a bit better after consulting a doctor and taking his medicine.

A few odd thousands of us have got it into our foolish heads that we are a wonderfully honorable people. ’ Weil, in the way of corrective take a peep at the books of some of our merchants who have been good natured enough to give credit and ask a few questions'. Then, when you’re at it, look over the accounts particularly the cash accounts of some municipalities and oif some isemi-public bodies. It will do the rigidly righteous and the self-complacent a deal of good to find out why it is necessary to have the troops called out to prevent our fellow citizens from pounding each other into insensibility. Canada’s besetting sin is self-complacency and .lack of real knee-v action. We may as well admit it. CENTRALIA (Intended for last week.)

CLATWORTHY Phone No. 12,GRANTON The opening of the new Royal Ontorio- Museum at Toronto is a crowning triumph to the efforts' of an Exeter Old Boy, Prof. C. Currel- ly. The Toronto iMaiJ '& Emigre writes editorially as follows; Last Thursday witnessed the of­ ficial opening of the Royal Ontario Museum in Queen’s Park, and the function' may well be regarded as the apotheosis of the Director or Ar­ chaeology, Professor C. T. Currelly, F.'SA. We have it on the authority of Sir Robert Falconer, of the Board of Trustees, that to this one man’s genius the character of the archaeo­ logical museum is mainly due. The extensive and varied exhibits housed in the magnificient new building have been gradually got together within the present generation. Some materials used for teaching purpos­ es at the University existed as far back as 19i00', and it is since then that the present splendid -collections have been gradually built, up For long years much was accomplished with little money, though of late years generous benefactions been received from patriotic interested in archeology and history. But even yet the spent on museums in this is only a fraction of the sums devot­ ed to similiar institutions in other parts of the Empire. In spite of hard-sleding financially the Royal Ontario Museum -has achieved an enviable place among the important archaeological mu­ seums of the world. It is more out­ standing as such than as a museum of geology, a museum or mineralogy, a museum of patliaeo-logy, -or a mu­ seum of zoology—each of which is also is—these other departments being under the direction of Profes­ sor E. S. Moore, Professor T. L. Walker, Professor W. A. Parks and Professor B. A. Bensley, st is rank­ ed by experts as among the three important institutions of the kind on this continent, the otner two being located at Boston and New York. In a recent expert British survey of the museums within the Empire it was remarked that "outside London and the National Museums of the British Isles generally, possibly the finest collections have been found at Tor­ onto, where the .Royal Ontario Mu­ seum, the largest of all the Domin­ ion museums, has not only incom­ parable Canadian couectrons, but, also, a world-famous collection of Chinese antiquettes and art. Writing in the London Times, on September 22 last, so great an au­ thority as Mr. S. F. Markham de­ clared: “With trepidaton one ven­ tures to suggest that the five most progressing museums in the Empire taking into account buildings, fin­ ances, equipment, sta-sr, technique, as well as wealth of collections, are the Science Museum, London, the National Museum of Wales at Car­ diff, the Royal Ontario rtuseuni at Toronto, the Royal Scottish Museum at Edinburgh and the Auckland War Memorial Museum at New Zealand. The Cardiff Museum is mucn small­ er and more limited than the Toron­ to museum, so it will be seen that our own institution ranks- very high indeed. It may here be added that the nucleus for the local archaeolog­ ical collection was essembled from materials which Dr. Currelly himself obtained while excavating in Egypt, Crete and Asia Minor. Many of the finest-exhibits represent astonishing bargains driven by the'director per­ sonally or achieved'by alert agents, whom he seems to have planted at strategic points in different parts of the world. The stories of some of these purchases read like romances1. Such a museum as we have now acquired plays a great part in the education and even in the material up-building of the city and nation. Hall after hall, chamber after cham­ ber, is filled with relics of past civ­ ilizations, specimens of primitive an­ cient and modern art and other ex- i f have citizens natural amount country hibits which visualize to the intelli­ gent observer the story of the human race, in its varied branches, from prehistoric times down to the pres­ ent day. The Royal Ontario Mu­ seum reveals to our gaze the pro­ gress of mankind from the Stone Age to the 20th century. Successive civ­ ilizations which flourished in wide­ ly separated parts of the world are set side by side for comparison and study. Sir Frederic Kenyon, who has spoken in the most eulogistic terms of the local museum, lias been quoted as saying: “I believe in mu­ seums as a means for the cultivation and gratification of the sense of beauty; as a source of enrichment of life by widening experience and stim­ ulating curiosity; ana as a force that tends to stabilize the life of the com­ munity by familiarizing it with its roots in the past. The museum is a means of heightening in value and extending in breadth the individual’s conception of life. It gives him ideals of beauty and of human achievements which increase his sense of his own possibilites. Its ultimate purpose is to help the nation to save its soul.” The more that thoughtful people familiarize them­ selves with the inspiring source of knowledge and culture, which was formally opened the better they ■themselves, their place in be their stock of on Thursday last, will understand origins and their more effective will'life—the contribution to une common welfare. TO APPEAL On the grounds that sentences of 12 months denfinite and .six months indeterminuate to run concurrently imposed on Gordon Young, former County of Huron treasurer, convicted . by Magistrate C. A. Reid at Goderich of three charges involving theft of county’s moneys, were “wholly inade­ quate,” W. B. Common, K.C. appear­ ing for the Attorney-General of On­ tario, was granted leave to appeal the sentence by Mr. Justice W. E. Middleton, at Osgo-ode Hall on Wed­ nesday of last week. Young, on trial recently, pleaded guilty to charges of theft of $5,0100 while em­ ployed as county treasurer and mu­ tilating books and conspiracy to de­ fraud. The department contends the sentence should have provided a pen­ itentiary term of imprisonment. THAT DEPRESSED FEELING IS LARGELY LIVER Wake up your Liver Bile —Without Calomel ..
