THE EXETER TIME$-ADVOCATE ^Relieved / Young children easily catch cold* So Mrs. Russel Ward, of Hilton Reach, Ont., wisely pays: “I? I notice that there is any sign of a cold I give Raby’s Own Tablets and find they are a great help.” Thousands of mothers do the same not only for colds but for fretful­ ness, indigestion, constipation, teething troubles, colic, upset stomach and so on. Raby’s Own Tablets are safe and sure in reliev­ ing childhood’s common ailments. Price 25 c. Dr. Willi amt’_______’3S BABY'S OWN TABLETS IT PAYS TO SHOP IN EXETER That foreign fields look green is particularly true when it comes to shopping. Many a person has. left their home town to do their shop­ ping in a neighboring city only to find out later that they could have done better in their home town. We have heard of persons who go from London to (Toronto to buy their clothes. We have heard of those who go from Toronto to Montreal or to Detroit to do their shopping and we have likewise heard of those who go from Montreal to New York on the same errand. We read, of course, of those who go from New York to parfei to select their styles. It seems that shoppers the world over like to go away from, home to do their buying. One Exeter lady purchased her winter coat in Lon­ don. She was visiting in- one of our neighboring villages and was sur­ prised 'to learn that her friend was wearing a coat similar toi her own purchased in Exeter at considerably less money than the city prilce. For real value shop in Exeter, EXETER PUBLIC LIBRARY ISSUES OVER 23,300 BOOKS Figures made available by Mrs. H. Gidley, librarian, .go to show that Exeter and community have a real taste for literature. No less than .23,321 volumes were issued to read­ ers at the Carnegie library in 19 3'4. Of this- number 7,873, a little over one-third, were non-fiction. The study of period distribution shows that from low mark) of 2,365 in July-August there is a rapid rise to 3,972 for the 2 following months and the high mark of the year was 4,407 for the. last two months. The first six months averaged over 2,10100 books per month; January^February 4,221; M'arch-April, 4,2'8 6; IMay-June 4,070; July-August, 2.365; Septem­ ber-October, 3,972; November-De­ cember. 4,407. SEVERELY INJURED Struck by a limb of a falling tree Arnold Balfour, of Mitchell, suffer­ ed severe concussion and back in­ juries. He was removed to Strat­ ford General Hospital where an X- ray revealed that the end of his back was broken. He will be placed in a cast to permit the bone to set prop­ erly. CROMARTY Rev. Wardlaw Taylor, of Gode­ rich, occupied the pulpit in the Presbyterian church on Sunday last and preached a very inspiring ser­ mon. The annual meeting of the congre­ gation was held in the basement of the church on Thursday, January Ifith. A good attendance was pre­ sent and very satisfactory reports were given, showing a very prosper­ ous year with a neat balance on hand after all expenditures had been straightened. Mr. Reid is adding greatly to the appearane of the interior of his store by giving it a coat of paint. Mr. Ray McCulloch spent a few day* of last week in Toronto com­ bining business with pleasure. The light rain which fell on Sat­ urday night left the roads in a very slippery condition. ZURICH Mis® Edith Klopp, of (London, was a week-end visitor with her parents. Messrs. Earl Gingerich, Emerson Erb, Mrs. Bol Gingerich and Lee Oesch motored to Kitchener over Sunday. Miss Gertrude Weber recently fell and injured her arm and as a result was laid up for a few days. Mr. Allan Schrag, of Stratford, spent the past week at his home. Mr. Norman Gascho, who is tak­ ing treatments in the London hos­ pital, wa.s a. visitor at his home over the week-end. Miss Alice Decker, of Scott Mem­ orial Hospital, Seaforth, was a Sun­ day visitor at her home here. Miss Lucille Jeffrey, of St, Joseph has returned to London'after spend­ ing two weeks at her home. A very pleasant time w® enjoyed at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Horner recently, when Mr. Horner celebrated his 73rd birthday.

'Then we’re glad that Herr Hitler seems to be settling a bit. The rumpus in the Balkans seems1 to be quieting down. Yugo­ slavia seems to be a little less nervous and Europe, generally, seems to be less jumpy than she has been for a few years. We welcome this breathing spell and humbly hope for more of this sort of good things.******** OUTLOOK FOR 1935 Great Britain enters upon 193 5 with sound hope that the year in which occurs the twenty-fifth anniversary of the King’s ascension will be marked by the flight of depression. For Europe there is- a prospect of greater settlement in such approaches as those of France and Italy for the security of Austrian integrity, while Ger­ many, expecting the return, of the ,Saar territory a>s a result of the plebiscite, hears from Herr Hitler of her “resurgence in a peace of equality, of honour, and of assured freedom.” (That mist hangs around some parts of the prospect cannot be denied. Though Russia has entered the League of Nations, Germany remains outside and Japan is going. On the other hand, the United (States shows a more coming-on disposition towards the League, and if President Roose­ velt should emphasize certain friendly words he has uttered since election, it is believed he would express the feeling of a growing body of Americans. A Senator from Idaho—.not, of course, Senator Borah—announces his intention to propose to Congress the entry of America to the League. In the long run Geneva may draw gain from temporary loss. There is progress even in tile spread of good will in so powerful a quarter as the United iStates, whence more may be heard 'to the purpose in the Session of Congress which began recently.—London Times.******** SETTLE ONE’S NERVES It looks as if changes of a radical character affecting the lives of all 'Canadians, are well afoot. Well, changes of one sort or another are bound to come. That is the cost of being made men and rot jelly fish. So let’s settle our nerves and get to it,Of course none of us are going to get all we ask for, for the simple reason that few of us know the thing we want most. Then we change in our desires. We are a party-ridden country. So far we are the sort of people, that is a great many- of us are that sort of people, that we’ll oppose almost anything the other party pro­ poses even though the other-party should offer us the world-with a fence around it. Nevertheless, we’re up against ,a new situation. The big fellows have not learned that while it is a fine thing , to have giant’s strength it is miserable thing to use that strength like a giant. Big interests have .overjumped themselves. Further, we have come to see that everlastingly giving relief will not do unless by giving relief we help the man. who is sincerely trying to help himself. A continuance of giving relief with one eye on the next, ballot box is degrading the country and all of us know it. So let us forget about the past and face up to present issues. If we don’t the issues will crush us. Far better to have considered evolution and orderly development than revolution and ruin. We may make our choice this minute. In less than a year our thinking may be all done for us.******** TESTING DAYS Our political leaders at Ottawa have concluded that things na­ tional simply cannot go on .as they are going on at present. While it is too early in the parliamentary session to forecast what legisla­ tion is going forward, it looks as if the government is going to try out a scheme in the transaction of business other than we have fol­ lowed hitherto. It looks, too, as if the opposition were saying . , “Bring on your scheme. We’ll offer no partisan opposition.”- This seems to be a procedure that is eminiently fit and.proper. Criticism the opposition is bound to offer. That is their plain duty. Criticism the goverment invites. It would be poor government if it did not welcome all constructive criticisms. This is the procedure and glory of party government at its best. At such a time every one who loves his country is bound to put his brains in steep and to give the nation of his best informa­ tion and of his best considered judgment. To do less than this on the part of municipal councils, Canadian Clubs, High Schools anc? Universities, in pulpit and on platform and by the press is to be dangerously asleep at the .switch. Things cannot continue as they are. We have set out that fact again and again. That is our first duty. We must not bluff ourselves or befool ourselves into think­ ing that all is well; that the .shoe really is not pinching. We must not in the next place dope ourselves into insensibility, the shoe, meanwhile disabling more than ever. We must realize that we are crippled We must have no doubt on this point. Where The Pinch Is We firmly believe that the pinch i® not in the system. Here we venture our criticism of the big wigs. We are not reactionary in what we have to- say. What we say with all seriousness and with full knowledge of at least some of the situation is that men have forgotten God. In the deepest and most impudent sense they have ignored Him. Occasionally they tip their hats to Him as some folks do to the statue of a great character and then straightway prac­ tically forget His existence and His supreme claims. We are far less aware of the. presence of -God than are Germans aware of Hit­ ler’s presence. That is a simple fact that cannot be denied. At cer­ tain .awe-inspiring periods in our life we speak of Him in s-oleinn tones but for the most part we ignore His existence altogether. This is a terrible indictment we know, but it is an indictment that must be considered. Men who think otherwise than this have not read history undenstandingly. In The Second Place In the second place the race must learn that he is an enemy who seeks to do another’s work. The man who does anyone else’s work when that person can help himself is. an enemy of the race. That is the evil of giving relief when the suffering party can help himself. Along with this goes the fact that he who makes another person's bargains for him by that much weakens that person’s intel­ ligence and to that extent unfits him for a world where men learn by experience and profit by observation and the 'Operation of the law -of cause and effect. As men sow they reap. The only argu­ ment that avails with an East wind is to put on one’s overcoat. All efforts to get away from these facts have proven disastrous. The privilege of making one's own mistakes and suffering for one’s mis­ takes is of far greater value then anyone can reckon. To take away the privilege of free bargaining either in the sale of one’s goods or of one’s, labour of any kind is to take away what is distinc­ tive of men. A bowl of soup is too little a thing to give an able bodied man in exchange for his liberty. Those who clamored for the flesh pots of Egypt rather than for the old corn of 'Canaan were looking backwards instead of forwards. What Can Be Done First we must respect contracts. The man who bargains to pay should count on paying and should pay to the uttermost penny, whether he bargains for goods or for labour, The man man who sells ibis labour or his goods must give the last strake of labour or the last ounce of goods. Paying must be done with same thor­ oughness. 'Till this is done we can get nowhere.. Yet. if people will but think about it, this is the very thing we have been trying to dodge. Injustice is the taproot of bur present misery. Instead of being thoroughly honest we have contented ourselves with getting by. Bluff has cursed us and we applaud the bluffer®, . The Real Rub In other words we have been trying to seem -other than we are. Well, that sort of thing has got us a very little way except towards our present muddle. We have humbugged ourselves and now we are paying for our folly. Surely the remedy is for us to rediscover -the fact that men’s duty consists in fearing -God and Keeping His commandments. The Jews long ago discovered that God ruled in the affairs of men. “In all thy ways acknowledge Him and H6 will direct thy paths.” In times so serious we are not proposing that men attempt to make and expedient of the .Dread .Supreme, Not that by any means, for God is no more to be mocked now than He was to be mocked 3000 .years ago. But we do say xvith all .seriousness that till men return to God and highly resolve to inarch forward with Him that times cannot mend for them nor can happiness bo their portion. His­ tory teaches this .sublime lesson. The trouble i.s that men have not heeded it. Genuine faith in and obedience to God will save the , day and nothing else can, let men devise and wiggle and dodge and fuss as they may. THURSDAY, JANUARY 1935 SHE PLAYS ORGAN AT 75 YEARS Clubbing Rates »*••*** * Takes Kruschen to Keep Rheumatism Away Writing to tell how she Keep® her activity, this wonderful old woman states:— “My hands were becoming so crippled that I had to give up piano and organ playing-—and almost en­ tirely gave up knitting. I have been using Kruschen Salts for nearly two years and am very pleased with the result. Las-t August I played two. church .services on the organ, and hope to do eo again this August. My fingers are nearly .straight, and J quite supple, and I am 75. I have; recommended Kruschen Salts to < many people.”—A. A. G. ! The six mineral salts of Kruschen , have a direct effect upon the whole bloodstream, neutralizing uric acid, which is the recognised cause of rheumatism. They also restore the eliminating organs to proper work­ ing order, and so prevent constipa­ tion, thereby checking the further formation of uric acid -and other body poisons which undermine the health. The Huron Bird & Game Protective Association held their annual meet-| ing on January l-Oth and re-appoint­ ed their same officers for another year. The association is glad to say that the Deputy Game Wardens were more active this past year than in former years. The association also has the promise of the Department that their allotment of Hungarian Partridge and Ring Necked Pheas­ ants will 'be sent to them whenever the distribution of these birds are m-ade. This associaton deserves the support of every hunter in the dis­ trict and every hunter should be a member of 'the association, the fee being within the reach of all.
