Take a sparkling, invigorating glass of Andrews Liver Salt at such titnes. Taken while it is still effervescing, Andrews will have an almost immediate cooling effect, be­ cause it is not only a delicious, thirst­ killer, but a means of cooling your blood. You will feel cooler for hours after taking Andrews—and more vigorous, too. Andrews, indeed, is a splendid conditioner when taken occasionally the year round, say about twice each week. If you pursue common-sense principles in your living, eating and sleeping habits and take Andrews occasionally, ypu will escape all the minor mal-adjustmcnts which occur in every normal system. Keep cool—and fit—by taking An­ drews. At all druggists. In tins, 35c and 60c. New, large bottle, 75 c. Sole Agents: John A. Htiston Co., Ltd.j Toronto, *»a M.OLLARD-—ISAAC A quiet wedding was solemnized at the manse, Centre Road, Park­ hill, by Rev. A. E. Hanhahson when •Mfeirlon Alice, daughter of' Mr. and Mrs. Isaac of West Williams, was united in marriage to Leslie Otto, son’of Mrs. Mary Holland and the late E. Mollard, of Grand Bend. They were attended by Mir. and Mrs. Russell Isaac, of Strathroy. The bride wore a blue silk crepe dress with accessories to match. After the ceremony the bridal couple -left on a Short wedding trip to London Where a dainty wedding supper was served at the home of Mr. and Mrs. William MacKewh, 451 Dtifferin Ave. Only tile immediate relatives Were present. The happy couple will reside at Grand Bend. The place for the knocker is ent­ side the door, Yes, and there are a whole lot of people who will, next winter, be standing, hat in hand in the presence of people whom they have belittled during the recent election.******** A great political party, as the provincial election returns came was heard conning the lines: “Oh, for the touch of a vanished hand And the sound of a voice that is still!”******** What has Old Man Ontario to say of members of parliament­ elect who when asked/ what policy they intend to follow at the ap­ proaching session of parliament smirk mysteriously and wind up a series of inanities by saying; “I don’t know. I can’t tell you any­ thing about it till after the. caucus!”♦ ******** The papers are- telling premier-elect Hepburn to be nice when he taliks about the mighty. These purists in style* cantion him about the words he uses. Perhaps the Premier-elect remembers that he was elected by the common people and that it is the best of good taste on his part to speak the language of the people who trusted him.******** A TIMELY QUOTATION Mr. Mitchell Hepburn as he contemplates -his swollen hand, no doubt recalls the lines: “The friend1 who hails you Tom or Jack And proves by thumping on you.r back His sense of your great merit —That friend had need That you be much his friend, indeed, To pardon or to bear it.”********* WHY HAVEN’T YOU?” “I’m sorry’but I haven’t the goods in stock. I’ll have them by tomorrow!” explained a merchant the other morning. “Why have- -n’t you?” replied the customer, as he stepped across the street and made the purchase of summer fruit. “How does it come that you have this fruit?” the customer asked the man who1 was in stock. “I made arrangmehts with the deal­ er that they should be here,” was the reply so there you are. And therein lies the difference between the depression and prosperity,, ******** FORTY TO ONE A politician when he pleases one office seeker by an appoint­ ment is sure to displease at least forty others. In fact the politician who .sets out to please anybody rather than to do his duty is sure to end by pleasing nobody and losing his perstige- into the bargain, The fable of the old man and the ass still has its message,******** Paddy McGraw has no reason to regret that during the brew and stew of the election just past that he kept the scuffler and the hoe going. His neighbor, Hank Tumbledown, attended all the meetings and paid a good deal of money for drinks and solicit ed wotes and yelled himself hoarse. Meanwhile the weeds grow in his corn patch and the cows fell off in milk and the hogs either died, of starvation or became so thin that they are worthless on the market. Hank says he’s unlucky and that times are hard for the farmer.******** One person in every six in New York city is said to be on re­ lief. The New York Times has this to say: “The ominous feature of the situation is the steady growth of relief requirements, in spite of a gradual, even though erratic, im­ provement in economic conditions. Nearly five years from the crash and two years from the bottom, we are apparently still on the down slope of the curve of distress. Relief costs in this single city, public and private, jumped from about 34 millions in 1931 to 54 in 1932 and 9 2 in 1933, with every prospect that they will come to twice that sum in 1934.. Here is perhaps the blackest single .spot'in the entire recovery picture.******** AS THEY SEE IT Canada Going Democratic From the Louisville Times-Journal Indications that Canada is going democratic in the American sense of that word is unmistakably shown in Tuesday’s Provincial elections in Ontario and Saskatchewan. In what may be termed the industrial East and the agrarian West, the Liberol party was swept into power by a veritable landslide of votes. The high-tariff Conservative, party, which for a quarter of a century has been in control in the former Province and' for the past five years has dominated the government of the latter, was over­ whelmed by the .shift in popular sentiment. So complete is the over throw of Toryism that the most sriking analogy to it is the Roose velt victory in 1932. *JUST A TRIFLE An “esteemed! contemporary” is telling us that the government house cost us last year only a trifling $37,(000. He says that the province can well afford to pay a, trifling thing like that. He airily waves its goosequill and gives us the idea that the- more millinery we have the better. $37,00'0 is a mere nothing nowadays1 in the eyes of some people, Surely! It represent the value of only about six well-equipped farms, the salaries of more than 30 toiling ministers of the gospel, the income of about 40 rural school teachers and the annual profits of more than 50 farmers. '$37,000! That isn’t much’ our city contemporary chides us. It’s just one of those "little” many of which make a “mickle” it ad'ds with a fine, generous gesture! iSo 'there you are. By way of explanation the editor adds. “His Honour is not a public servant.” Now that is precisely what the Premier-elect is likely to agree with. Evidently that is why Mr. Hepburn believeig that he .should' not be paid out of the public treasury! These are the days when folk who are not “public servants” will do well to mind the step. There is an old slogan “The tools to the hands that can use them,” that is full of meaning. “I serve” the finest of mottos.”,, • * ******* TWO SIDES Just the othervSaturday evening we overheard a bit of conver­ sation that has set us thinking. Mother and daughter had come from shopping, “Here’s is a dress that I bought for 98c.!” the mother announced triumphantly, “Here is one that I got tor Bessie for $ii.l0.” Immediately we commenced to think about the oppres­ sion of the worker who made the dress. After we got ourself into a, mood/ where we might speak quietly we asked a question or two. The mother smiled a bit wrily and said; “Had I not got those dresses for what I paid for them I’d not have bought a dress at all. My purse was about empty when I made my purchases.” The women was perfectly truthful as regards her income. She finds the.going very hard as she helps herself out in her widowhood by one honorable means and another. “If” she added “I had been asked more for the dresses I’d have gone without or I’d have bought the material and made the dress myself.” Then what would have become of the girl who sold the dress and of the girl who made the dress and so on down the line and through all the various complications Involved in the sale, of that dress for 98c. All these people would have been out of what little they had. So there you are again. It’s quite a job giving every­ body his bread and butter with sugar on it. We silnply follow the market and pay as we go. THURSDAY, JULY 5th, 19X1 COOKING hot, heavy foods for breakfast is wearying work. Why not give your family a treat, and save yourself time and toil?

ROBERT BELL, SEAFORTH MANUFACTURER, SUCCUMBS 8 Death came suddenly tO' Robert Bell, prominent Seaforth manufac-: turer, last wfeek< Mr. Bell was presi­ dent of the Bell Engineering and I Threshing Company and was in his 70th year.

How am I going to play it?” “You don’t play a gondola; you throw it over your shoulder like a shawl.” Happiness In the Home Depends On Mother’s Health There can bo no happiness in the home where the Mother is worried and irritated by the care of the household. She becomes run down, nervous, irritable, and gets up in the morning feeling ns tired ns when she went to bed, and becomes down-hearted and discouraged. Milburn’s H. & N. Pills should soon convince women it is not necessary to suffer from pains and sickness, As they help to build up the nervous sys­ tem, and bring them back to robust health. Then hot household duties become a pleasure instead of a burden. Ask ydur druggist for Milburn’s H. & N. Pills,
