Young Mr. Morgan, engineer at the Salt Block, received a somewhat serious injury Wednesday morning A piece of steel flew off a rivet striking him in the eye causing serious trouble. On Wednesday last a son of Mr. Bender of the Babylon Line led a colt to the field and while letting down the fence he tied the halter rope around his body. The colt jump­ ed the fence dragging the lad with it and trampled him until the hal­ ter came off and he broke away. The lad lived about a day after the ac- 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. 15 YEARS AGO * .........................*....................... .........!—...... ... -....... ......... .......■„....

MtLftORN CO., limited Toronto, Ont. 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. A thresher reports that he is threshing out the barns in some districts at the rate of four per day. Why do not those unfortun-, ate farmers resort to the flail and so save overhead? We’re crea­ tures of habit. ******** CAN BE HAD CHEAP If anyone really -wants some steel rails he can get them cheap if he will apply to the owners of the last lap of the railroad to James Bay. That whole enterprise has proven a fizzle as far as the ratepayers of this province are concerned. ******* * 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 —J——. □rive carefully on wet pavements 12 months guarantee against defects and I road hazards You’ll feel safer on slippery pavements if your tires have the famous road-gripping All-Weather tread with traction in the centre!

Mail ar­ rives once a year by the R.C.M.P. dog teams and the only other white people at Cambridge Bay besides the Paisley's, are two R.C.M.P. con­ stables and two traders. BUILDINGS BURNED A fine bank barn and extensive implement shed on the farm of Wm. Mair, Hullett Township, were com­ pletely wiped out by fire last week. The fire broke out in the straw loft during threshing operations. The threshing outfit also fell prey to the flames.
