The experiences told in the foliow­ inging letter are typical of those of many other sufferers; “I first start­ ed taking Kruschen Salts for rheu­ matism in my ankle joints. Being rather stout, I thought pernaps they could remedy both troubles, and you cannot realise how surprised I was with the effect. * I don’t feel any­ thing of my ankles now. And not only that—my weight has reduced 19 lbs. in just three weeks, I am still reducing, and yet I eat what I like, and feel a different woman in every way,”—(Mrs.) B. Gently, but surely, Kruschen rids the system of all fat-forming food refuse, of all poisons and harmful acids, which give rise to' rheumatism digestive disorders and many other ills. 25 YEARS AGO January 7, 1908 The municipal elections took place on Monday.

Miss Elsie McCallum left Monday for London where she will teach in a city school. She was a favorite teacher in the Exeter school and will be much missed.

Money can be saved every week by taking advantage of what the merchants offer.******** Those new American silver dollars are all very good for certain purposes, but the Canadian beaver will be well advised to have his gnawing and dam building paid for in terms of good Canadian money. “It was ten below at 2 a.m. this morning, I loorted at the ther­ mometer as I entered my home,” remarked a doctor the other after­ noon. He had just,come in from a 3 0-mile drive through the snow­ banks. It was a call on his free list. Talk about heroes!******** The Daily Times of Los lAngeles, Calif., pays a glowing tribute to the splendid work of Dr. Earnest A. Bryant, whose death occurred re­ cently in that city. Dr. Bryant was a brother of Mrs. O. M. Sklelton, of Exeter, The Times Bays In part: “Dr. Ernest Albert Bryant, nation­ ally known as a physician, and for his philanthropic work, succumbed to a heart attack. He was 64 years of age, Dr. Bryant retired from ac­ tive practice eight years ago to de­ vote his entire time to1 providing hosptal and medcal aid to needy per­ sons. He was born in Woodstock, Ont., but moved with his parents to St. Paul, Minn., when he was a few months old. He was graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in 1890 and the following year came to Los1 Angeles and soon assumed an important part in the professional and social life of the city. Bishop Stevens, who conducted the funeral service told of Dr. Bryant’s undying love for humanity, his untiring ef­ forts to be of use to others and his Death may remove hie familiar figure from the scene of the activ­ ities where he was once welcomed by all who came under his ministra­ tions. But it cannot take away the abundant fruits that have sprung from the devotion of a life to a noble purpose. Not many men has the spirit of self-sacrifice been so abundantly bestowed as it was on this nationally known physician, who in the acme of a successful car­ eer surrendered' a lucrative practice that he might give all his time to providing hospital ond' medical aid for the poor and needy. The Goop Hope Hospital and the Good Hope Clinic, through which in the last six years more than 30,000 patients annually have received help and treatment they would otherwise have had to go without, stand as a, lasting memorial to the doctor whose zeal and energy supplied this long- needed want. practical hdlpl to individuals and groups through his many benevo­ lences.” “Dr. Bryant,” the Bishop said, “realized the plight of the people of moderate means who were afflicted by illness or required surgical at­ tention. Before his work began here, it was only the very rich or the very poor who could have the best of medical care. His efforts made it possible for the man of moderate means to receive the most skilled care at whatever price he could af­ ford 'to pay.” Attesting their devoted friendship for the physician, the hundred of friends and associates who attended the rites sent floral pieces in such great numbers that it was necessary to place some of them on the lawn outside the house. DOUBLE TRAGEDY Soon after he and his family ar­ rived in Varna on Saturday night, Melvin Clark, Winthrop, well known transport owner and storekeeper, was notified that his store and house in Winthrop was a solid mass of flames and that nothing was sav­ ed. Within a few minutes he re­ ceived a second phone call from London telling him that his tractor and semi-trailer had been run into by an American car and badly dam­ aged. The London accident occurred when the tractor developed engine trouble and driver Wilson Wright, Seaforth, was forced to pull off to the side of the road. As Wright was endeavouring to crank the tractor, which was loaded with five tons of 2-inch pipe for the Seaforth Golf Club, a large American car drove in­ to the rear end. Lendop-bound on No, 22, high­ way, the car driven by Edward Spider, of Grand Rapids, Miah»« smashed into the rear of ths semi­ trailer. Struck squarely in the face by a projecting pipe, which pierced and- shattered the car windshield, Mrs, Snider suffered a fractured skull, had her right eye so terribly injured it was later removed, and received) several broken facial bones, Her daughter, Miriam, aged 12, suffered a fractured skull. Snider, sitting in the driver’s seat of the auto, escaped unhurt as heavy pipes crashed through the wind­ shield. His six-year-old son, Ed­ ward, sitting between his parents in the front seat, also was1 unhurt. Miriam, who was with her sister, Dorothy, aged 9, in the rear of the car, apparently struck her head on one of the windows, fracturing her skull. Wright claims that he checked all truck and trailer lights1 as soon as he stopped and that they were all working at the time the crash occur­ red. With him at the time was John Cummings, Seaforth. Fortunately for the two .Seaforth men, they were not in the cab when the crash happened for pipes were driven clear through the cab and dashboard of the tractor. House and Store Bums Fire of an undetermined origin early Sunday morning Dec. 24th, completely destroyed the large frame store and residence at Winthrop owned by Mr. Clarke. The buildings had been closed up but a short time before Mr. Clarke and his family left for Varna where they were to spend Christmas. The building and contents were a total loss. Mr. Clarke has rented the house on James Street recently vacated by Mr. R. E. Jackson.—Hu­ ron Expositor, Dr. Ernest A. Bryant 15 YEARS AGO January 2, 1919 Mr. Chas. Dyer has been very ill with pneumonia in Trenton, but is now recovering. Mr. George Armstrong has pur­ chased the large brick building in Exeter North, known as the Walper Hotel. He will tear it dovzn and use the material for buildings on his farm. Dr. Co.rsaut, Lucan, has purchas­ ed the veterinary practice of Dr. Sweet and the late Dr. Reid. Mr. Wm. Hern has sold hisi 50- acre farm on the 9th con. of Us­ borne to Mr. Thornton Smale. Mr. Hern has bought Mr. John H. An­ drew’s farm on the 8th con. of Us­ borne. Mr. and Mrs. Thos. Dayman, of Outlook, Sask., are visiting Mr. andi Mrs. Rd. Davis. Mr. and Mrs. Albert Spencer, who recently returned from the West have rented the south half of the Bedford double house on William street. Miss Ross, of the High .School De­ partment wired from her home in Williamstown, asking to be permit­ ted to resign, owing to ill health in the famly. She was granted per­ mission provided she secured a suit­ able to substitute for one month or less as the case may be. The post-office at Elimvilie will be cancelled on and aftei’ January 15, and most Of those getting their mail at that office are securing rur­ al mail boxes. Mr. Frank Willis, of Springside, Sask., is visiting here With his mother Mrs. Jas. Willie. The action of a very .considerable proportion of the German clergy in refusing to become part and parcel of the German State, tuned to sing the song sent them by the Hitlerities, delightfully demonstrates that there are to be found men who1 will dare all for the sake of conscience. ******** Now that prosperity seems to be coming our way, let us work a little harder than ever and use our best judgment in all our affairs in order that she many find herself a welcome guest. Let no one be mistaken, the financial crisis is by no means past. Pharaoh’s lean kine are still in evidence.******** January and February are fateful months. Our Exeter mer­ chants know this and are setting out bargains that tempt the soul of Midas. Exeter has weathered the financial strain exceedingly well, but is going to do something special early in the year. Watch our columns for live advertisements.******** STILL ANOTHER And now comes' word of another motor accident at a level rail­ way crossing. It seems that this crossing was protected with gates by day and by lights at night. Yet the driver gave no heed with the result that all of us may surmise. So there you are again! The signs were there but, well, that’s what took place.******** A QUESTION OR TWO Have we come to the place when a hard worker or a successful producer in an essentially good industry, such as farming, will be regarded as a public menace and put in jail or hanged? IShould our statesmen and biologists deprive the new born of their hands and other powers of expression and encourage appetities and capa­ bilities of wearing clothes and of destroying all that folk now en­ dowed with devising brains and manufacturing powers can produce? The questions seem foolish, but consider the way things are going forward before any comment is made.******** A COMMISSION NEEDED A seat on any of the benches, magisterial or judicial and the office of Crown Attorney should in no sense be a political plum. All such crown officers should be appointed by a commission as far removed as possible from political influence. We say this be cause we greatly fear that the signs of the times indicate the need of such heroic action. Magisterial and crown and judicial positions must be kept away above reproach. Ontario will flare into rebel­ lion the minute she believes that these sacred offices are tampered with, directly or indirectly. At ony cost we must have a clean bench. NEEDS REMEDYING This thing of allowing one man to pay his predecessor in office a, tidy sum in the way of something that looks like a. pension simply will not do when it touches any part of the civil service or any phase of the magistracy. We question if one person in |5IO0 in Ontario thought this was possible in Ontario. It seems that it is not only possible but that the practice actually has been followed. Well, all that sort of thing is wrong. It opens the way to all sorts of mis­ chief. For one thing, it robs the bench of a portion of its indepen­ dence. For another thing, it robs the bench of a good deal of the respect due thereto. From now on, we fear that citizens are liable to look at the bench and say, ‘‘How much did you pay for the posi­ tion?” If Canada is to keep up her reputation for being law-re­ specting, she must have a bench that is above reproach. Here, pre­ eminently, the position should seek the man. THE NEW CALL ‘‘We have been accustomed.” How often we hear these words as we discuss ways and means of getting on. And there is much to be said in behalf of a ‘‘use and wont” that has steadied men and made them prosperous and happy. Such a way of doing things is not to be lightly set aside. Yet the procedure to which we have become “accustomed” was minted new in some good mind on some occasion when some one really thought and made a venture for a better way. Does not this cause us at this time of the year to ask if there is not a more ex­ cellent way for the citizens of this country to carry on their public affairs? Only recently we have learned that methods of auditing, in many instances, are sadly obsolete. The accustomed ways ot handling public money, in other instances are far from satisfactory. Others are urging that the way some magistrates take the bench is not the best. Still others urge that judges in their appointment should be free of all political party influence. Procedure in town­ ship and county councils is regarded as tardy, ineffectual for public good and wasteful of the people’s money. In all these instances the dead hand of custom holds the reins and prevents progress. Instead of muttering or carping “We been accustomed*’ it is high time that Canadians' put their brains in steep and effectively inquire for the best possible method of carrying on. There needs no monument of stone or graven tablet to. keep the memory of the good physican who last Thursday closed his eyes in the sleep that knows no waking. Thou­ sands who have been the benefic­ iaries of his services to humanity, through his unselfish efforts to lighten the load of suffering, will cherish in their hearts, long after his mortal remains have been laid away, a grateful remembrance for that lover of his fellow-men, Dr. E. A. .Bryant. Constipation and Headaches Suffered For Two Years Mr. E. K. Devlin, Winnipeg, Man., writes:—“I feel it my duty to let you know of the help I received after having taken two vials of Milburn’s Laxa-Liver Pills. For two years I had suffered dread­ fully from constipation and headaches, and was advised to try your treatment. I strongly advise all sufferers to use Laxa-Liver Pills and feel well again.” i; put up only by The T. Milburn Co., Limited,„ For sale at all drug and general Toronto, Ont. ITS USEFULNESS TO THE COMMUNITY Efficiency in service, financial strength, mature experience and unwavering adherence to sound prin- ciples—these are the factors that measure the usefulness of a bank and the stability it affords to the community. The Bank of Montreal provides complete and efficient service in every department of domestic and foreign banking. Its strength is manifested in assets exceeding by $76,000,000 its liabilities to the public—its experience and tradition by over 116 years of successful operation.
