Wake up your Liver Bile -—Without Calomel Your liver's a very small organ, but it cer­ tainly can put your digestive and eliminativo organs out of kilter, by refusing to pour out its daily two pounds of liquid bile into your bowels You won't completely correct such a condition by taking salts, oil, mineral water, laxative candy or chewing gum, or roughage. When they’ve moved your bowels they’ro through—and you need a liver stimulant. Carter’s Little Liver Pills will soon bring back the sunshine into your life. They’re purely vege­ table. Safe. Sure. Ask for them by name. IiefuM substitutes. 25o at all druggists. 4S ******** Paddy McGraw -tells us that the recent rain has put his oor.n away ibeyond the point of being aided by the cultivator. Paddy is Still effectively busy with the hoe. ******** Germany is having her troubles. She made the foolish mis­ take of trying to achieve national greatness apart from sound mor­ al character. Greed and meanness always work their own destruc­ tion. That is sure as death. ♦ * ♦**»*< “There’s one good thing aboot this hairvist," Cautious Sandy maintains. “Ye dinna need as mooch help as- yay-s-yil'l fer -the intak- i,n’ an ye are not at all likely to- dunt yer heed -on tne raifters as ye -do the mowin’ back. Each -loss has its compeensation.” ******** Thanks, Uncle Sam, for -returning the mace your sons took away from us in 1813 without rhyme or reason. It is fine when a later generation seek to make amends for the wrong wrought by an earlier generation. It is thus that good will is planted and de­ veloped. ******** THAT RAIN The rain of last Friday was aibou-t the most welcome visitor1 this community has enjoyed for many a montih. While it came too late to save the hay crop, it will help the fall wheat to fill, the oats: and barley to develop, the pastures to revive -and will prove an in­ estimable boon to the corn and root crops. (Some are ev-eni hopeful enough to believe that 'the 'spring’s seeding to c-lover land timothy ond alfalfa will foe greatly benefitted. As we think of these ad­ vantages coming to us through no skill of our own, let us thank God from whom all good comes and highly resolve to be better’ men. *♦**♦**♦ ANOTHER HINT The best authorities in this Province and in the State of New York and in New York city urge that all mi'lk for human consump­ tion -should foe pasteurized. T-he following news item is startlingly suggestive: Serious Conition of Affairs in. Dundas HeTd HAMILTON, July 3 (CP).—Test made by (Frank J. Elliott, chief chemist at the General Hospital here, have revealed that two- of the ten cows of a herd on a Dundas farm carried streptococcus germs in the -milk. The tests were the second made, the first having failed to reveal any streptococcus germs. A third cow was- dry and the other seven cows had germless milk'. ..Seven persons contracted septic sore thr-oat from the source, two of them, Mrs. A. McArthur and Ellen Hunter, -dying. Miss K. Hunter, who was critically il'l with the same disease, is now re­ covering . ******** IT WILL NOT DOWN -He is a bold man who seeks to cramp the human spirit. Now Hitler, of Germany, is just such a man. It occurred to- him that he could dragoon the spirits of his countrymen. He set himself up as a superman whereas all that he is is a showman and a very ignor­ ant -showman at that. He lives by display. He simply must ihave. folk marching past him saluting him and wearing uniforms of some sort or another a.nd calling themselves: troops-, storm troops, if you will. He is uneasy un'les-s he is acting the word-merchant and deluging all who wo-uld hear with superheated oratory, He was aware that there was unrest in his -native land. [Instead of wisely seeking the cure of that unrest he sought to- -exploit it. The result is a country that is utterly i-n wrong with other nations who have no desire to become economically involved with a nation that does not know its -own mind and that is not bent on any constructive purpose. Further, he finds that ihis parade and display methods do not appeal to the healthy minded of his own­ nation, with the result that the national spirit that he dared to curb and rein is proving too great for him and is now in open rebellion. The galvanism that he -drove into German business: is not life, he discovers and stolidity -of -a sullen nature isi taking the place of the activity he excited. {Labour sees that it bias been- deceived. The employment that he gave labour at -a miserably remunerated rate of compensation is proving a shackle, as labour is expected fco carry on at a degrading wage. His effort to make- the -church a mere cog in the wheel of his political scheme ihas become intolerable. His effort to make the intellectuals of his native land lower their stan­ dard of thought has proven utterly futile. Hitler attempted to* build leaving the -deepest things of life and conduct out of sight and now his structure bids fair to tumble about -his -foolish ea-rs, let him scowl and stare at vacancy las -he will. The human spirit refuses to- be cramped and cribbed and, confined. ******** A REMjENIS'CENCE We recall an experience of our y-outh. We were a small boy on that -occasion. [We had visited, clandestinely, la -neighbor’s or­ chard and had helped ourself, on our o-wn initiative, to his apples. Our trouser pockets- were sadly lacking in capacity, -s-o there was nothing for it but to “button over’’ o-ur nether .garments, to “pull up” our -shirt to the limit and t-o place as- many -apples as we could between its bulging folds- and o-ur sinful epidermis-. When thus laden wit-h our ill-gotten booty we .proceeded to- -leg it towards a friendly hollow stump in the awful fastness of -a neighboring -grovei where buccaneers like-mind.ed with ourself were wont to hide sur­ reptitious- -plunderings. But fortune did not smile on our venture. (The owner of the -orchard came between us and ottr goal, made embarrassing inquiries and we stood con-emned in his awfu 1 presence. Conscience and memory wrote bitter things against us- as we had torturing thoughts of the parental shingle and -of condemnation on the Judgment Day. Imagine our relief as--he said: “But you didn’t get the good oppies, and he led u-s to choicer fruit than we believed existed. “Help your­ self”! he invited, and like the witches in Macbeth we m-ou-nced and mo-unced and mounced: “Take all you want with you!” he suggest­ ed hospitably. We. proceeded to rid ourself of the sour, icrabby stuff we -had purloined only to find our benefactor harden in tone and countenance. "You rascal,” ihe roared, “You can’t fill your shirt with trash and still Ihave room for good fruit.” Abashed, -discomfit­ ed, forlorn w-e took our way through the Eden of that orchard laden with wormy sourness and meanness when w-e might have revelled in the best fruit of the countryside, « “Will a man fill his belly with the East wind?” the wise man asked. He will. We filled ours on trashy apples only to- find our- self incapacitated for sounder eating. We regret our childhood folly, meanwhile pitying adults whose stupidity by comparison1 is as a baby’s finger to a giant’s thigh. 15 YEARS AGO Mr. Cecil McLeod has accepted a position as barber with Mr. Frank Boyle.
