If he had known ten years ago what he knows to-day, he would have been spared a great deal of suffering. “I feel I must write a few linos in appreciation of your Kruschen Salts. I have suffered for 10 years from chronic, acidity of tbe stomach. I tried nearly everything, until 1 was advised by a friend to try Kruschen, which I have taken for the last two months, and I am pleased to say I have had no return of the acidity.”—W. B.' Kruschen Salts swiftly neutralises acid, takes all the torment out of it, and gently expels it from‘the system. And by stimulating your organs of elimination to perfect regular action, Kruschen will prevent this harmful acid from ever accumulating again. After that you’ll experience no more misery after meals. Kruschen will keep your inside clean and serene. Pure and invigorated blood will be sent coursing to every part of your body. You’ll feel wonderfully ener­ getic and well. As healthy and hearty as it is humanly possible to feel. SNAKES KILLED Snakes appear to be early and plentiful this spring.

Dear Editor; My attention was re­ cently drawn to an item which ep- peared in the Goderich Star of March 17th, referring to the pay sheet of the House of Refuge Com­ mittee, of which committee I am .chairman. The bylaw passed in January last, provided for payment o;f $4.50 per day and 10 cents per mile one way by railway. Had this committee travelled by train it would have taken two 'days to hold this meeting, as not one member Of this committee can get to Clinton and back the same day. If I had taken the train, my mile­ age would have been SO miles, or $8.00 and two day’s pay at $4.50 per day, would be $9, making a to­ tal of $17.00. But, as the Star says, I am the leading economist of the county, this goes to prove it, as I only received $10.00 when I could have taken $17.00 and not violated the January By-law. Now, Mr, Editor, the same ap­ plies to every member of this com­ mittee, viz. IMt. .Stewart received $8.00 ahd by train $10.75; Mr. Switzer $10,90, by train $12.20; Mr. Ballantyne $9.50, by train $11.00; Warden Rader $9.30, by train $11.- 40; Mr. Wright, $9.90, by train $11.- 20, This was discussed at this meeting and all the committee agreed’ to It and I was to take it up at the June session of the County Council, Surely this explanation will satisfy the Star and others who are howling about this for •political gain. Thanking you for space Iti your valuable paper, I remain. yours respectfully JOHN McNabb FIRM HESTITATHS TO LOCATE The American manufacturers of heavy steel equipment with Which Goderich Board of Trade has been dickering to locate here have writ­ ten that the present is not an op­ portune time to set up a branch fac­ tory in Canada, but that when the time does arrive Goderich will be given favorable consideration.
