A Burden of Fat Gone
Here is another case where the
trim, slim figure of youth has dis
placed the coarse, fat outline of
middle age. It is a housekeeper
writing. She says: —
“I cannot say what weight I was,
but I was very fat—a burden to my
self. I have taken three bottles of
Kruschen Salts, and now I gm quite
slender. I am over i5'6, and people
take me for 40. I am more than
proud of myself, You can take it
from me that every word of this is
true. I took a teaspoonful in hot
water every morning till I used
three bottles. Now I only take half
a teaspoonful each morning. I can
not recommend the Kruschen Salts
enough, for they .are worth their
weight in gold.”—(Mrs.) A. H.
Kruschen. Salts combat the cause
of tat by assisting the internal or
gans to perform their functions
properly—to throw off each day
those waste products and poisons
which, if allowed to .accumulate,
will be converted by the body’s
'chemistry into fatty tissue.

Boils are simply an outcropping
of impuro blood. They make you
fool mean and miserable, and are,
as h rule, very painful, and the
worst of it all, When onO disappears
another seems iepdy to take its
place.
All the poulticing and lancing
you do may1 only bring temporary
relief; you must drivo the im
purities out of the system boforo
you can got rid of tho boils.
Let Burdock Blood Bitters purify
tho blood and remove tho foul
material from your system, and,
then, it will not bo long before the
boils disappear.

STILL ALIVE
Germany, under Hitler, has been trying to make the German
churches a mere me-too of the German state. Just lately the Ger
man church has been giving some evidences that it is, .at any cost,
going to preach the truth as the Bible sets the truth forward and
to do its work as enlightened conscience and intelligence under
stand that work should be done and what they believe that work
to be. This is highlp gratifying to those who regard the free spirit
as the finest treasure the race possesses.

And now there’s serious talk of a union government for Ot
tawa. It is high time that something was being done. There is no
use of our befooling ourselves into thinking that times are so very
much better. Of course there has been an improvement in condi
tions.in Canada that is highly gratifying. For this fact we never
can be sufficiently grateful. At the same time the grim fact re
mains that finances are far away from satisfactory. But let no one
blame conditions on. any government. The fault lies with the. av
erage man that we are underlings.

AMAZING
Word has come that the government of the United States has
decided to support all out-of-works irrespective of whether the out-
of-work is able to secure a job or not. All that an American citi
zens needs to say is “I’m not working” and his wants will be met.
This is amazing. Never in the history of the world has the game
of politics gone so far as it has gone in the great republic. There
is no one so fundamentally stupid as the politican lacking the ele
ments of statesmanship.
However, Rome did this sort of thing and the Hun soon was
at her gates. If the United States will not heed Ben. Franklin in
his 'better days she soon will be visited by Attila and his legions.

A SUGGETION
Since those political probes and political commissions have come
into fashion it is high time for someone to a&k who s paying the
piper. ;So far as we can see, such performances are serving only
to give some legal lights an opportunity to gather in the money the
government is saving by economizing in wages. Our suggestion is
that the person asking for such an investigation should become
financially responsible therefore. In case the investigation proves
to be needless the complainant should pay the whole cost. Should
the inquiry prove needful the party found guity should make good.
In any case the probing should be done by salaried govern
ment officials who will receive no remuneration beyond regular
salary. As things have been we fear that investigators give ten
thoughts for their personal aggrandizement for one thought they
bestow on the public welfare.

THE POLITICAL ASPECT
The Goderich Signal, which does not take second place to any
newspaper in its allegiance to the Liberal party, last week express
ed its disapproval of the action of the provincial government in
granting authorities for the sale of wine and beer in Huron county.
We agree with the stand taken by the Signal and especially when
it says in effect that the granting of authorities within a municip
ality should not be left to the recommendation of a council be
cause it was not an issue in the municipal election. Instead of tak
ing the liquor question out of politics altogether,, as it should be,
this new scheme introduces it into municipal politics and will have
an unsavory affect at the forthcoming municipal elections.
The vote in Exeter on local option in January 1913, was 470'
for and 3)317 against and was defeated by 15 votes for the required
three-fifths majority. The vote of the Canada Temperance Act,
July 29, 1914, in Exeter was 227 for and 178 against and at those
elections the women did not have a vote,
The Goderich Signal says;
“Taking the political view of the matter, it is difficult to see
why the Hepburn government should ignore the vote which placed
tluron County under the Canada Temperance Act in 1914. There
is no indication that Huron is any less “dry” now than it was when
that vote was taken. Even taking the votes on local option bylaws
in Goderich, although the bylaws were not carried there is no jus
tification for the ignoring by a Government that is itself elected on
a majority vote of the very considerable dry majorities polled in
the town of Goderich. On the last local option bylaw submitted
in Goderich, in 1912, the vote Was 626 for the bylaw to 449 against.
The dry vote was only a few ballots short of the tliree-flfths requir
ed to carry the bylaw.The resolution adopted by the town council of Goderich in
favor of the issuing of licenses is cited. The town council, how
ever, was not elected on any such issue, and the Government would
not consider itself bound by ‘resolutions which might be adopted
by the same town council on other matters of Provincial policy.
After twenty years without the legal sale of liquor in Huron
county, the onus was on those who desired a change to prove that
the people wanted it* This they have not done, and the Govern
ment has taken a false step, we believe, in ignoring the overwhelm
ing dry sentiment of the county,
We venture to say that no avowedly wet candidate could be
elected in Huron county in support of any Government.”
Tom and Dick Ferguson, Thomas
St. are looking forward to a- visit
shortly from their youngest sister,
Mrs. Paisley, and, little daughter,
June, residents of the Arctic, who
are at present on their way out from
the frozen north for a holiday with
relatives. Mrs. Paisley will be re
membered by many friends in St.
Marys, she having lived here before
leaving for the West a few years ago.
Her brothers here have a very fine
polar bear fur sent by their sister
from the Arctic a year ago.
Mrs, Paisley arrived at Edmonton
Alta., on her way out on Monday and
the Canadian Press wired the fol
lowing story of an interview:-—
The chill winds and low tempera
tures of the Arctic won’t mean a
thing this winter to Mrs. E. Paisley
and her two-year-old daughter June
who arrived in Edmonton recently
to start a year's vacation from their
home at Cambridge Bay on the
southeast end of Victoria Island off
the Beaufort Sea.
It took them nearly two months
to reach Edmonton from their north
ern home. They walked ten miles
along the rocky coast of Victoria Is
land with Eskimos carrying their
luggage before they reached water
sufficiently open to allow them to
use an open boat with a kicker en
gine. They they travelled for two
days to where the Niglik, trading
ship of Capt. Paislej, had been froz
en in when caught in the ice last
fall.
A storm was blowing as they
sighted the vessel and they had to
lay to until the winds abated. “We
were out of food and had to sleep
on the rocks in the storm,” said Mrs.
Paisley. “When we did board the
ship we were held 10 .days in, the ice
pack before we could get away to
Coppermine to take the ’plane to Ed
monton.” They left their home on
June 18, and arrived in Edmonton
August 16.
Little June was born at Cambridge
Bay in the Arctic circle on Febru
ary 23, 1932. Her father has charge
of the Canalaska Trading Company’s
Arctic post there, and skippers the
trading ship Niglik, meaning Wild
Goose in Eskimo.
The nearest doctor and the near
est white woman to the Paisley’s
home are at Aklavik, 1,000 miles
away. June plays with the Eskimo -
children and consequentljr speaks
more of their language than she
does English.
Mrs. Paisley came from England
to Canada when she was 16 years
old. She met Capt. Paisley, then a
non-commissioned officer of the
Royal Canadian Mounted Police m
Edmonton and married him in 19 3 0
at Vancouver. He accepted the post
of Arctic manager for the trading
company and with his ibride sailed
from San Francisco to . their new
