RHEUMATISM GOES
WITH EXCESS FAT
i EDITORIAL
• A GLOWING TRIBUTE
Both Banished by Kruschen
When one realises that the cau&e
of overweight is closely associated
with the .cause of rheumatism, it le
easy to understand how it is that the
two troubles can so1 easily be over
come by the same remedy.
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.

1934 presents many a problem, but problems become wings to
the brave.********
The week-end thaw and rain means more water for near-dry
wells and that means something.********
France keeps on saying, “I never fear the Germans so much as
when they appear to bring gifts.”********
Let us see, didn’t we hear a good deal, some time or other,
about an International Bank that was to iron out our International
monetary and cash problems?********
1934 will go a long distance towards demonstrating the folly
of pursuing a policy of national isolation rather than a policy of
international .co-operation.********
The township and county fathers are off to a brand new start,
To do good work throughout the year all that is required is that they
start right and keep on doing right.********
Cautious Sandy is wondering if the recent cold weather was
due to the fact that President Roosevelt has been hobnobbing with
a representative of the Russian government.********
Communism, facicism, socialism are all very fine in their way,
hut they are no substitutes for good will, for hard thinking and
downright hard thinking on your part and mine.********
No investment in 1934 will bring greater returns than an in
vestment in the home-town paper. 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

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

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

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.
