Indigestion and Acidity “A few months ago, I had an attack of indigestion, heartburn and acidity, and had no appetite for meals, especially breakfast. I am a pipe smoker, and for several days I felt so ill I could not even look at my pipe. I decided to try Kruschen Salts. A few days afterwards I found that the heartburn and acidity had gone, and -for the last five or six weeks I have: been in my usual good health. I can now enjoy my pipe-smoking, and in fact feel about 10 years younger.”—R. P. When your digestive juices fail to flow freely your food lies in the system and ferments, thus causing the distress of indigestion. The “ little daily dose” of Kruschen first stimulates the flow of the gastric juices, and then ensures complete, regular and unfailing elimina­ tion of all waste matter every day. slats’ diary Friday—Unkle Hen and his wif^ went way up in the north part of the? state whe’re they had a funeral om acct of his wife» uncle sort of died yesterday, and we* are going to take care of his • stock while, they are*’ gbne. ■Saterday Ma had pa" and- me' ' c om e into town today to the drug stores for a new liandet- for the churn and they diddent have none at the drug store and pa told the boss it was a, heckuva drugstore Sunday — Hen- Blender was at the farm a while to-­ day and he has ben out of work for about a yr. and a He says the most thing he misses is his vaca­ tion becuz he wont get to take none on account of being out of' wirk.

The new Ford model still is not admitted officially, but few doubt that it is definitely under way. The return of 30,000 men to the Ford pay roll recently will bring the 70,000, ite sign, agents 100 per dealer morale, impervious to the idea of changing to another .franchise.

In fact, ’she scratches harder and longer and deeper than ever. Take a tip from the lowly hen. “Did you ever stop to think that hard times mean nothing to a hen? She keeps on digging worms and laying eggs, regardless of what the newspapers say about conditions. If the ground id hard, slie scratches harder, if it s dry, she digs deeper. If .she strikes a rock, she works around it. But ALWAYS she digs up worms and turns them into hard* shelled profits, as well as tender broilers. “Did you ever sed a pessimistic hen? Did you ever know of oiie starving to death w'aitihg for the worms to dig themselves to the sur­ face? Did you ever hear one cackle because times were hard? Not On youi- life. She saves iher breath for digging and her cackle for eggs.” FALL FAIR DATES Ailsa Craig ........... Sept. 24 and 25 Atwood ................. Sept. 18 and 19 Bayfield ...........
