His weight was then 266 pounds. He began to lose weight, and now he is 210 lbs., and feels better. He took half-a-teaspoonful of Kruschen in a cup of warm water every morning. People keep asking what he has done to fetch his weight down, and he al­ ways says Kruschea Salts.”—(Mrs.) E. S. Thousands of overstout men and women find in Kruschen Salts a far better means of reducing than by taking drugs. The little daily dose of Kruschen Salts keeps the organs functioning properly every day and fills you with such a feeling of ra­ diant vitality and vigor that before you know it you are fairly “jumping out of your skin” with energy in­ stead of moping around—-and reduc­ tion follows as a matter of course.

Elliott, Exeter, Ontario Dear Sir and Brother,— As the pastor of the United Church at Flaxcombe and chairman of the Rural Relief Committee it becomes my happy privilege to express the sincere gratitude of the people of the municipality of Elma No. 291 to the folk of your town and locality. I am enclosing a resolution unamlous- ly passed by both congregations of the United Church of the locality. The municipal council taken action, notice of reach you soon. When, you realise that yield of wheat was two- bushels to the acre or less, and that with pota­ toes sand vegetables almost a total faiure, you can imagine your wond­ erful car of produce filled the hearts of -our people with -great joy. I could wish that the dono-rs- could have heard the words, of thanks expressed on every hand as it was distributed. We had the contents of the car mov­ ed to the hall and arranged for the dstribution there. Everything in the -car was -found in good order, which was a bit of relief as we were anx­ ious about the frost. The variety was most extraordinary. Last year we shipped a quantity of vegetables to dried-out areas of -the province and this generosity on your made them doubly happy did try to help others. I want to express my gratitude -to all those wh-o had a part in the shipment of that wonderful car. -Our people deeply appreciate your hlep. Please convey this ex­ pression of thanks to donors of the produce. Some of our ifo-lk have ab- ready written -to persons- who enclos­ ed name and address with articles. With thanks and best wishes for the friends of Exeter and locality, I am, doesn’t need relief but 75 per cent, or more has to get relief, some more than others. Myself I took the knotter off the binder and put on a box and all I got was three loads for feed and that half Russian thistle and mustard. I have a straw stack three years old that is all the feed I have for horses, cattle and spring work. I haven’t grain enough to feed the hens, about 45, through the winter. The government is snipping in oats and baled hay. I know farmers with over a section (640> acres) of land, all in crop, that never took a binder out. This car was divided out at rate of 1,5(0 pounds to a man wife; 225 lbsz where there was or two children. 300 lbs. was most anyone got. It was divided 1 bag potatoes, I bag apples, 1 bag turnips, 10 lbs. beans, a .tew beets, carrots, 2 jars fruit and 1 pai] of honey. This they claim was one of the best cars that ever came west. Very few cars have preserves in them- I know of one farmer that all he grew was two palls of pota­ toes; another a half bushel. There are lots of us that never threshed a bushel. There are others again who are on heavier land and had some low spots where water would lay that threshed enough for their seed and pay all expenses. The wife and I were raised a few miles from .Listowel. We came out West 22 years ago. I like the win­ ters here far better than I do in On­ tario. We had a blizzard three weeks ago, the best one we’ve had for several years. In the hollows and sides of the ravines the snow is 4 or 5 feet deep. There will be quite a number of horses will die this winter. I know of four that have died within three miles of us. For groceries a farm­ er is allowed $10.00 a month. If you have one cow milking that cuts it down to $9.00; two cows milking $8.00; This is just for the winter months. In the spring we will get feed oats and seed wheat and oats. This and all the relief goes against our farms and has to be paid back. In the south of the province they have had five years of this drought. The Harveys and Downs are close to us. We are great friends. Again thanking you and the friends of Exeter for your gifts which were very much appreciated. I am yours truly W. H. 'Code P. S.-—'The car arrived Monday the 29th and we unloaded it in about 2 hours and put it in the hall and dis­ tributed it next day. There were three teams oif horses and a truck and about 30 men working.

Gordon, 'Mayor of Alameda, Sask; thanking the people of this community for the second car load of food supplies sent to their community. The letter is as follows: “On behalf of the citizens of Ala­ meda and the immediate district I wish to thank the good people of Exeter for the gift of a car of vege­ tables, fruit, etc. It reached here last Tuesday and was unloaded on Wednesday in first class condition. The contents were divided among 203 families- in quantity dependent on the size of the family and the relative needs and each one is very grateful for the supplies received. There were many families, who with­ out this kind gift would have neither vegetables nor fruit winter. Southern Saskatchewan suf­ fered very severely this summer from drought and grasshoppers and had it not been for the very fine spirit of -Ontario and other provinces in sharing their supplies both gar­ den and orchard supplies, conditions would have been much worse.
