One of the pioneer residents and
one of t’he most outstanding men of
his (generation in Huron County,
passed away at his home in Bruce-
field on Monday evening of last week
in the person of Alexandex* Mustard.
Until six years ago. Mr. Mustard was
a remarkably strong and active man
for his years, Since then, however,
he had suffered greatly from kidney
trouble, having had to undergo four
dififerent operations. From these
he recovered, but two weeks ago he
suffered a stroke and gradually sank
until the, end ’came Monday evening.
He was a son of the late
Mustard, a pioneer settler
land, and was born on the
homestead near Brucefield 82 years
ago. As a young men he was a
member of the firm of Kyle &; Mus
tard, who operated a flour and saw
mill at Egmondville. When this mill
was burned down he returned to
Brucefield and operated the saw mill
as well as engaging extensively in
farming fox’ many years,
number of years he also
the saw mill at Bayfield,
he disposed of his milling
to his son, My. J. B. Mustard, hut
continued to farm until 1923, when
he disposed of the homestead farm
to his son, Alexander, and retired to
Brucefield, where he built a new
residence in which to spend his de
clining years. All his life he had
taken an active interest and part in
township and county affairs as well
as a conspicuous part in politics, be
ing one of the most prominent Lib
erals in Huron -and past president of
the South Huron Liberal Association.
In religion Mr. Mustard was ,a Pres
byterian until the Union, when he
became a member of the United
Churlch. In 1869 he was united in
marriage to Miss Elizabeth Ketchen,
■of Stanley, who passed away in 1855,
leaving a family of five sons and
one daughter, Mr. William Mutsard,
of Bayfield; Rev. C. A. Mustard and
Mr. Thornton Mustard, of Toronto;
Mr. J. B. Mustard, Brucefield; Mr.
Ernest Mustard, of Vancouver and
Miss Margaret Mustard, who is sup
erintendent of the United Church
Mission at Gypsumville, Manitoba,
In 1900 Mr. Mustard was again unit
ed in marriage to Mrs. Jas. Ketchen,
who survives him together with a
family of one son and two daughters,
Mr. Alexander Mustard and the Miss
es'Annice'and Alice Mustard, of Lon
don. He is also survived by two
sisters, Mrs. Nei-1 McGregor,, Bruce-e
field and Mrs. James Laut, of Cross
fields, Albert's. The funeral • was
held from his late home on Thurs
day aifternoron, intefhf^^t tiding made
in Baird’s cemetery.
Our exchanges are telling us of a young couple from Pontiac
who deposited their savings in a St. Thomas Bank. Who in the
world are these old-fashoned young- people, anyhow? The idea
of banking one’s savings! Where did they get the idea? Pontiac
must be a great place and this must be a wonderful couple. We’re
thinking of moving to Pontiac and of tryin’g, to make the acquain
tance of this extraordinary brand of young people.

By .far the greater number of motoro mishaps occur where cars
are driven by ’competent drivers, where the road is both good and
wide, in broad daylight, where opportunity for seeing is. abundant
and the' cars are in good mechanical condition, where luck is noit
a factor and where no reasonable excuse can foe found for the ca
tastrophe.

PASSING
Coroner’s juries seem to have served -their day. Only to fre
quently the verdict given by these bodies is believed to be biased.
Men are openly sayin’® that the juror’s oath is not worth anything
when it comes, to discovering- In such instances the jury’s work
is not only useless but a menace to law and order.
On the other hand there are juries of this sort who are 'con-
effort to give a true ver-
for some real waking up
presiding officer and the
scien’tious and painstaking, who spare no
diet in view of the evidence..
There is no doubt but there IS need
in this very important matter. Both the
jurors who are careless or openly, regardless of their duty should
be severely punished for perjury and for duty flagrantly neglected.
When law officers fail in their duty the way is paved to anarchy.
No juror should find any man for malice or spare him for favor.

ON THEIR GUARD
Directors of insurance companies are on their guard these days.
They have been asked to look into some fires and have found cer
tain elements of mystery about the orilgin -of these fires. Some
directors say that many’ fires .point to but one cause, the work of
the incendiary. It never occurs to these directors to look’ -beyond,
the premises for the firebug. 'The result is that directors are be
coming very careful before they pay a claim. Policy holders will
do well to take notice of this fact as a cell in jail yawns for some
people. Governments, too, are becoming suspicious and are doing
a little quiet investigating. Directors are -growing increasingly
chary. ,
In this connection farmers who value their (good name are be
coming very particular about the habits of -the men enaged in
threshing operations. The troulble-makinlg, cigarette simply should
not be tolerated about a farm building. The luci/fer match has no-
business where dry straw is in abundance* It may seem hard to
do so, but every man wh$ enters the mow or bain on threshing day
Should carefully guard himself against takiri® into the barn any
thing that may cause a fire. Thefeis no end of room for improve
ment in this- direction. Directors of insurances companies are
going to ask some searching questions when the claim for a thresh
ing fire is presented.

The second victim of coal oil ex
plosions, which occurred in their
homes as two district women were
attempting to 1-iight fires, died Sun
day night in St. Joseph’s hospital,
London. -Mrs. Samuel Baker, of
Zurich, who was severely burned two
weeks ago, succumbed at 6 ,p.m. Sun
day, after a hard battle for her life
against painful body burns, just
three days after the ceath of Mrs.

burns received similiarly.
Mrs. Baker was burned when she
became a flaming, torch’as a coal oil
can exploded in her hands. 'She- had
arisen and was lighting a fire in the
kitchen range about 6 a.m., July 27.
With the foundation of the fire laid,
Mrs. Baker attempted to hasten the
fire by pouring: coil oil over the
kindling. It is thought that embers
remained from a previous fire which
ignited the coal oil. In a second
the contents of the exploding can I
showered the flaming liquid over the!
room and enveloped her clothing in
a sheet of flame. , , j
Assistance was rendered by her
husband' and brother, William Rarig,
who drapped blankets about the
blazing clothing, the brother also
bein’® -burned in the attempt to
quench the fire. First aid was
rendered by a Zurich physician, who
removed the burned woman to- St,
Joseph’s hospital, London.
At the institution Mrs. Baker’s
condition was regarded as grave, as
over half of her body was burned.
Despite the painful injury she rallied
and for several days hope of her re
covery was held Out. Her condition
for two days had been reported as
gradually becoming more serious.
.Surviving, besides her husband are
one, brother, William Rarig, who as
sisted in quenching the flames, and
two sisters, Mrs. Mary Becker, of

When your gastric or digestive juices'

Kruschen is n. combination of six:
