Indigestion is caused by a failure
in the flow of the gastric or digestive
juices. As a result, your fool,
stead of being assimilated by your
system, simply collects and ferments
inside you producing harmful acid
poisonings. The immediate effect of
the six mineral salts in Kruschen is
, to promote the healthy flow of the
vital juices of the body. As you
continue with the “little daily dose,”
it ensures the regular and complete
elimination of all waste matter
every day. And that means a com
plete end of indigestion.

Clandeboye is to be sold at the Mid
dlesex tax sale next April. The price
asked is §11.64.
The .hall is one of the-682 proper-
ities listed by County Treasurer John
MdLarty. It is situated on one-tenth
of an lacre of land in Biddulph (Twp.
on the highway north of Lucan.
Tax arrears on the hall which was
at one time a popular place for meet
ings and social gatherings for resi
dents of Clandeboye district, amount
to §10.24 for the year 1930 to 1933.
With cos-ts acjded of $1.40, this
brings the price to §11.64 for which
the hall may be purchased.
According to officials in Clande-
boye the hall has not been used as a
meeting place for some years and
was latterly used to store grain.
The simple listing which spells this
last djsshonor to the one-time proud
public building is as follows:
"12-—-public Hall (Clandeboye)
part Lot 11, N. H. St., 1-10 acre.”
Who owns the property is unknown
at Clandoboye. All that the formal
listing shows is that taxes are unpaid
during the three years which makes
it liable for sale. It goes' under the
auctioneer’s hammer on April l*6th.

A block from (home, Maury took
matters in his on hands. He insisted
upon alighting from the car and
finishing the trip on foot. “I can do
it—it’s best that way,” he grumbled
tweakly, and Serenity forebore to
combat his wish.
“I’ll be seeing you,” she told him
brightly “And you’ll hurry and get
well for me—won’t you, Boy?”
“.Sure, I will! 'There’s nothing can
hurt me now—much.”
She watched him make his weary
way, bag trailing in 1
shady street in -the direction of his-
home. With her heart in her eyes,'
she returned the little salute he gave
her as he went through the gate, nor
cared who saw it.
It. was with a quivering sigh of re
