Nothing can put your system put of kilter more quickly than your liver. All it has to do is stop pouring its d(|fly two pounds of liquid bile into your bowels—and life certainly gets grey. That sluggish flow of bile slows up digestion and elimination and makes you “feel punk". Your stomach acts up—gas, bloating, sourness, pain. Your breath is bad and the taste in your mouth is nasty, Your head aches. Skin is blotchy. All, of course, because your system is full of poisons. Mere bowel movers like salts, oil, mineral water, roughage, laxative candy or chewing gum are not good enough to correct this condi­ tion entirely. You're livery and you must wake up your liver bile to be happy again. Avoid calomel (mercury). The thing for you is a box of Carter's Little Liver Pills. They never upset you because they're purely vege­ table, gentle and safe; but how they do change your view on life I Don't waste your money on substitutes. Be definite. Ask for Carter's by name—and get them! Look for the name, Carter's, on the red label. 25c. at all druggists. 50 Exeter Old Boy Tendered Complimentary Dinner (Saint John Daily Paper) W. A. Fisher, who has been pro­ moted to the position of manager of the main branch of the Dominion Bank in Montreal, after serving in that capacity in the (Saint John branch since 1922, was gues-t of hon­ our at a largely attended complimen­ tary dinner given at the Riverside Golf and 'Country Club last night by friends and business' associates of the city. The gathering was a sincere manifestation of the high esteem in which Mr. Fisher is held throughout Saint John. George J. Smith, was chairman of the function and presented a set of golf clubs and a golf bag to the guest of honour on behalf of those present. Other speakers' were H. iL. Enman, James MacMurray and R. Downing- Paterson.,Amony the -other guests were Cyril Waite, who comes, to Saint John from Belleville, Ont., as suc­ cessor to Mr. Fislie-r, and W. O. H. James and T. C. Connochie, bank in­ spectors-, who are in the city super- intendenting the transfer. Mr. Smith congratulated Mr. Fish­ er on his appointment to -a higher position in the bank and -expressed regret at the loss Saint John will suffer in his departure. Those- at the dinner were brought there, he said, "to do honour to one who during the past 12 years has occupied a promin­ ent place in the business life of this, community and. who through his gentlemunity and sterling qualities of -character has' won such- a warm place in our affections.” Referring to the representative nature of the gathering, Mr. -Smith continued: "This tribute is not only to your business ability, but the greatest motive that -brought every •one to this function was a sincere feeling of appreciation of your friendship, and I know you well eough to state tnat this1 motive ap­ peals to you more than any other. "The banger who can, at times' say ‘No’ and still hold the esteem—and friendship—particularly friendship'— of his- associates must have sterling qualities. Possibly some of us would appreciate now even more if you had said ‘No’ more frequently back; in 1930 and 1931. “We, of course, are sorry to see you go, but we are happy that y-o-ur faithfulness to duty and your ability have been so1 richly regarded in such a splendid promotion.” Mr. Smith continued: “I would say to our Ontario guests tonight that the Maritimes, are rich indeed in natural resources. Our exports- are considerable—the most important product being brain power. While we can’t claim our honoured guest as a native son, we can that he developed rapidly and maturely through his- en­ vironment and. his comparatively short term of 12 years in this- atmos­ phere qualifies- him now to manage the second largest branch of the Do­ minion Bank. Again a central me- tro-plis gains- through Maritime skill. To Mr. Waite, Mr. Fisher’s successor we extend a very 'sincere welcome. We believe he’ will soon feel much at home with us. We invite him to accept the place in our hearts and in the business life of this community vacated by Mr. Fisher. “Mr. Fisher, we are proud of your success and we feel sure there are ■still greater opportunities in store for you.” James MacMurray Speaking on behalf of the business men of the city, James MaclMuiTay tn -d to the high regard in which Mr. Fisher is held in Saint John (business circles. Mr. Fisher com­ manded the respect and admiration of all with whom he had come into contact, either in a -business- way .or in social life. His genial disposition had made him many fast friends, Mr. iMac'Murray wished Mr. Fishel* every success in his new position, which was- a splendid promotion and one well earned. “Saint John will miss him,” he said, “but the loss Will be partly compensated for by the knowledge that Mr. Fisher will be carrying on in a higher position." H. L. Enmans H. L. Enmans, speaking for bank­ ing and financial house officials, ex­ pressed the regret which would be caused by the departure of Mr. Fish­ er. His friends would wish him every success—a success of which they were confident—in his new po­ sition in Montreal. iMr. Fisher’s fine business ability, his character and his disposition had all combined to place him in a position -of high re­ gard, Mr. Enman said, < R. Downing Paterson, speaking oh behalf of his fellow members of the notary Club, referred to the fact that Mr, Fisher, during the last 10 years, had rendered valuable service to that organization having served as treas­ urer and also as president. tMr. Pat­ erson spokto of Mr. Fisher in having contributed much to the efforts of the club and said all the members- greatly regretted his- departure and hoped that he would achieve still further success. Mr. Fisher On -replying to the presentation. Mi* Fisher said; "First of all, I want to thank you for the wonderful par­ ty yon have given me prior to my departure for my new position in Montreal. It is with a heavy heart that Mrs. Fisher and I leave Saint John as the .people have been most hospitable. In fact, one could not wish for better hospitality. "We came to Saint John in 19 22 to establish the first branch of the Dominion Bank in Canada east of Montreal, and it was no easy task'. I would here like to pay tribute to my fellow bankers—they were keen op­ position, but clean—and that condi­ tion, should exist among all compe­ titors. "I would ask my friends for their support and believe you will find my successor to be a good banker as well as a good fellow. "Words fail to express my feel­ ings at this time and I assure you this gathering, of friends will not be quickly forgotten."

'She was born in Hibbert 31 yearfe ago being a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John W. Britton-. Miss Britton was a graduate of Stratford General Hospital. Besides hen par­ ents she leaves to mourn her loss, three sisters and three brothers. SEEK FREE ADVERTISING Because a paper is constantly seeking for news to make its' col­ umns interesting to a wide circle of readers many persons attempt to talkie advantage of the editorial staff by handing in- advertising readers in the guis-e of news1. When there are returned or do not appear in print, •the readers usually take it upon themselves 'to hurl abuse at the pap­ er. They consider organization and humanitarian services rendered by their special organization as worthy of all the free space- they can ge-t. If these perosnsi would' only stop 'to consider where the paper would -be if every organization received the same amount of the “free advertis­ ing” they expect for their own so­ ciety, the criticism would cease. There are still people, too, Who think the price they pay for their paper cover its costs of production. The amount -paid does not pay for even the -cost of materials used in its printing. A newspaper’s; chief source of revenue is its' advertising. And if this is to be given free- to every or­ ganization whose meriilbers are en­ thused on a cause, where- will the publisher turn for money to pay his expenses?—-Fores’t Standard WORK ON BLUE AV ATER HIGHWAY BEGINS Provincial government tank trucks have reached Goderich and work has already. commenced treating with- oil the surface of the Blue AVa- ter Highway between Goderich and Grand Bend a distance of 3 4 miles skirting the shone line of Lake Hu­ ron. It is expected that the job will be completed in 10 days'. There are two tank truck® work­ ing from Goderich south and depots for supplies' of- oil have been been established at Goderich, Hen-sail and Exeter. After many years of agitation, the Blue Water Highway was taken over by the government only this-' spring and there is much satisfaction at ■the prompt action taken to correct ■the dust nuisance and provide a smoother surface on this heavily traveled highway to iSarnia and De­ troit. AVork at Harbour Work has been authorized at the Goderich harlbo-r involving an ex­ penditure of $2,000 by the federal government. The money is to be spent mostly for labor on repairs of damage doneby ice during the spring freshets. The gate and canal under the break-water were damaged when wa­ ter surged -through -on the night the ice ’broke" up on the Maitland River which empties into Lake Huron at this point. Tom Dobbin Says— "Yes, we have lots of feed. We’ll reach the first of August with more than half a silo of ensilage besides all t'he other feed-' that we require.” O. B. Strapp assistant manager anld superintendant of the M-uncey Farm was showing Tom about those wonderful premises. “You had bet­ ter see for yourself.” and Tom was takien to a large barn where there were tons upon tons- of the finest al­ falfa, harvested in a condition that Would! bring delight to any stock lover. In the same barn were tons -upon ton® of the 'best straw for bed­ ding. The abundance of bedding and straw was not there at the expense of t'he cattle’s condition for t'he live stock was away above the average in flesh andl cleanliness'. There are aibout '5'6 working cows on this farm with a balance of young cattle making a total of about 124 in the entire hard. There is a section of jerseys perhaps'Of a uozen- working cows and the balance of aboiut 44 Holsteins. There are the usual number of farm horses and splendid hogs to no end. Yet on this farm where live stock, is1 so ahun- dlanft Tom did not see a single un- thrifty animal nor a single building that was not neat and clean. "A government institution." Tom hears someone say. "Then this school is backed by the United ■Church of Canada. Anyone could farm if he had all the money need­ ed to employ the best of skilled help But listen to the manager aS1 lie tells you. "We hire* men for -the heavy work. The rest of the farm work is done by boys under 16 years of age." So there you are. Add to- this the fact that these boys are Indian! boys whose blood and sinew and nerve and gray matter for tens of centur­ ies have run in the way of the no­ mad life and you will see the- task the government has on it® hand to say nothing of the problem of the church,. The task is a tremendlous (one. Yet it is. being done. The tre­ mendous amount of food produced on this farm tells a story interesting beyond all telling and significant be­ yond! all description. Here we have a fact or two- that critics of such an institution will do well to hold before them. The gov­ ernment gives' this- school Ibut $127.- 00 per pupil. The church does not contribute, one cent. Out of that sum these boys ranging in years' from six to sixteen must be clothed and cared for and fed'. The must be sup­ plied! with heat and light and be d'­ ding and games and all that they re­ quire to- develop into 'Canadian's of the right sort. It must Ibe remember­ ed that those boys must be taught to- wonk and to really like Work. Meanlwhile they are given an edu­ cation up to the entrance examina­ tion. “This- is a limited liability affair where each one must contribute ac­ cording to his ability and receive his fair Share of the dividends-.,” Mr. Strapp explains. "We are not prim­ arily farmer®. We are folk who are busy building those boys andl girls into. Canadians that will be a real delight to themselves and an asset to the Dominion- and t'o the world,” Planting Last Monday as Tom trampedl over the Ibig farm he came across the -boys a-s- they were planting potatoes Three teams we're at work While each boy was assigned a portion of the field in which he dropped the potatoes. The plowing being -done, was of exceptionally good quality, -a real test of farm efficiency. The potatoes were being dropped with delightful regularity. The sail itself was in the be.-t of tilth and clean to a degree. Two adults were with the boys but for the most part this work was being done by Iboyw un­ der" sixteen, years of age, and being done with a system that was hard to beat. No Iboy was overworked but no boy shirked. Tom was curious to note the state of the cereal crop and to note how the work was done. Here, too, the seeding had been done evenly to a degree surpassed only by experienc­ ed adults- who Wept their wits .sharp­ ly about them. Only a practical farmer knows how severe this test is. "We have 80 acres -of hay.” <Mjr, Strapp explained. "All in all we have over 2id0 acres in crop.” And all this done, with the exception of the heavier portions, by mere boys!” You see every -boy dtoe® his little part If he can do nothing else he holds a cow’s- tail when the milking is be­ ing done. But each must make his contribution must learn that lesson,’ the superintendent continued. "Each boy is a problem. We' study what he can do and little by little as his body and his mind and hisi spirit can­ stand it, we give him more difficult tasks,” Mr. Strapp continuedl show­ ing that he is an educator as well as a practical farmer. And then the tens of thousands of strawberry plants and t'he tens of thousand's of raspberry canes and the plantation oif rhubarb and of as­ paragus and the limitless quantities of beets and carrots and cucumbers to say nothing of the garden corn and the field under preparation for the filling of three silos. "We' must have abundance of food! for our stock and for our students.” Mr. -Strapp continued. Not Overworked Tom was curious about how the boys could 'be got to do all this work without serious rebellion, for Tom was some years ago a boy himself with a fail* memory oif those early days of his existence. “We like a boy to know what it is to be tired from working. But we try very hard not to have him fagged or wearied or satiated1 with woiik. We do not want 'him to think of work as. drudgery. We take every precaution to have him interested in what he is doing. That we cannot -do, if the boy is tir­ ed out. He must have rest and re­ laxation as he does his task. We wish him to be a little stronger than his task meanwhile getting him ready for harder tasks.” 'How do you got so much work done?" Tom asked. "We must be two or three jumps ahead of our planning. If we have rain when we expected to be in the fields we must set our boys at some­ thing else without losing an hour. Fancy the loss from having .four teams and. a hundred boys idle even for an hour. But there is no occa­ sion for talking about how much is being done. There is so much to do! Th'ose boys and girls- are our real; .problem, but we are getting some-1 thing done. But in this connection no one can exaggerate the value of what has been -done for this institu­ tion and for the Indian by Mr. Mc- Vittie. who is just completing his worikl here. His contribution is be- yondl all praise." Tom would like to say s(om ething of what is 'being done at this school in the interests of the Indian girls. But that is a story by itself. Here- are taught the mysteries of home­ making, for the Indian is slowly learning the charm -of home asi the best Anglo-Saxon and Celt under­ stand th-e work. This work is slow but it is being attempted! and in a degree results are showing them­ selves. Would that the wrong type of white- wonderful country. The blackguard wonderful conutry. The blackguard and bootlegger and the greedy have left their slimy trail, though the .Mounties, those wonderful men whom the unruly -dread andl honest men respect, are dealing out some medicine that is working wholesome cures.. Power to their fists and shoe leather! No language is too se­ vere for the white man who seeks to exploit or to ruin this childlike race who look to the white men with a pathetic confidence so fre­ quently misplaced. "We arei trying to give our red brothers what we think is a bettei’ life, Mr. iSpratt comments. "We askl all who meet the Indians to help us!” THEY TELL A crackling good STORY In milk or cream.
