Dappar, who is driving ,a- car belonging to Dr. A. M.

He came to iSt, Marys some two or three months ago and took- a room at the Windsor Hotel apparently making it known that he was a prominent Hollander from the West Indies. He stayed there for some days accord­ ing to Police and then tendered a worthless cheque in payment of his aic-count. When the cheque came back from the Ibank a warrant was issued for Dappar’s arrest and Chief Moir and Constable Ross according­ ly rounded the wanted one up. It was then that Dr, Bayne whom Dap­ par had impressed as an honest tra­ veller in difficulties, came forward and put up sufficient money to have the chdrge withdrawn. Dappar still continued to live in town for la week or so longer and in the meantime succeeded in winning! the Dolctor’s confidence to the extent of getting the loan of his Chrysler sedan for a trip to Toronto ostensibly to visit his lady friend, at the same time making a pretence to buy the car but deferring payment. Since- that time no sight has been seen of Dap­ par in this locality although Toron­ to police have informed Chief Moir that Dappar was in Toronto some time ago and attempted to dispose of the Chrysler for the sum of $100, being unsuccessful however.

The quickest way to get rid of this stomach trouble is to. take Burdock Blood Bitters which will promote perfect digestion and tone up the stomach. Mts. Fred.

What will Britons do about it? Will the occasional bottle, the unfinished job because, forsooth one- is a bit weary, the call of the links and the stream and the deer and partridge come in between us and 'balancing our budget? Will folk heed the call “Play the game” rather than the voice of conscience as her fateful trembling finger writes, “God and a native land expect you to do • your duty.
