Now, at 57, he starts the day fresh as a daisy, and his back aches no more. Read his story:— “I had continuous backache for four’ yeai’s. I looked on the black side of everything. Now, J write with extreme gratitude, for what Kruschen Salts have done for me. The fresh­ ness with which I start my day’s work is perfectly marvellous, After seven days of Kruschen, I felt bet­ ter and could get up immediately, without any special effort. I am 57, and my early morning dose of Krus­ chen is my salvation.”*—J. T. The kidneys are the filters of the human machine. If • they become sluggish, impurities find their way into the blood-stream and produce troublesome symptoms — backaches, rheumatism and depression. The numerous salts in Kruschen quickly coax your kidneys back to healthy normal action. As an immed­ iate result, you experience relief from those old dragging pains.

HURON PRESBYTERY The Presbytery of Huron of Presbyterian Church in Canada in Clinton on Tuesday with Moderator, Rev. W. . Hensail in the* chair. Rev. H. O. Feast, of Seaforth, who is at present in the Hamilton General Hospital, sent in his resignation which was ac­ cepted with regret. The Presbytery engaged in a brief period of prayer for the recovery of Mr. Feast. Rev Mr. Peddie, of Clinton, was appoint­ ed interim Moderator of the Sea­ forth charge. Much of the time of the Presby­ tery was ta'ken up with a considera­ tion of the Budget allocations for 193 8. These were presented by Mr. Hill, of Exeter, and called for an increase of twelve hundred dollars oven the budget of 19<37. The Pres­ bytery commended observance of the Universal Week of Prayer at the New Year to all congregations with­ in its bounds. A letter was read urging the Pres­ bytery to gelid a protest to the Can­ adian Broadcasting Commission re­ garding the nature of Sunday pro­ grammes, but the Presbytery defer­ red any action until it could ascer­ tain whether all the changes in the letter were in accordance with fact. The Treasurer, F. G. Weir, .of Go­ derich, presented his report and the congregational assessments for Pres­ bytery and Synod were set at same .figures as last year. the met the A. Young, 'of . Rev.

Bierling We Deliver Phone GODERICH — Two young men, James W. Foster, of Galt, and (Le­ wis Wakefield, of Moorefield, aged 21 and 22 years respectively, .plead­ ed guilty to 24 charges of burglary in four Western Ontario counties on Thursday afternoon of last week and were sentenced to. five years each in Kingston penitentiary by Magistrate J. A. Makins, the •sen­ tences to run concurrently. A, grim smile came over Wake­ field’s face as sentence was passed, but the refined looking, well-dress­ ed Foster, took his sentence keenly, Both had records involving similiar offences, and are not long out of ■reformatory. The young men admitted break­ ing, entering and stealing cash and jewellery from five residences in Huron County, six in Oxford, 12 in Wellington, one in the Town of Ti.ll- sonburg with a total vaule of $»1,- 00'0. Little Recovered The loot consisted .of watches, rings, ear rings, necklaces, cameras, medals, alarm clocks,, children’s money banks. The jewelry was sold ■for old gold, and the money dissi­ pated. Virtually, nothing of value was recovered. The arrests were affected by a posse headed by Provincial Con­ stable P. E. McCoy, at T’illsonburg, three days after the Huron robber­ ies were committed. “There are other charges in Mid­ dlesex and Perth Counties to come before you but these can be dealt with next week,” said Crown Attor­ ney D. E. Holmes in asking for peiii- tentary sentences, pointing to pre­ vious convictions and jail terms dating back to 193 4. Defence Counsel Frank Connelly stressed that there had been no gun play, no violence, and that in most cases accused had found the doors open while occupants were absent. “During the period these of­ fences were being committed in Wellington, Huron and Oxford coun­ ties, you young men would, have no trouble getting work,” said the mag­ istrate. “You were not looking for work. You were shown leniency before and after being paroled you deliberately and systematically, time after time* committed .these burglaries. Let this be a warning to others. I hope it will benefit you. (The sentence to you and each of you, will be five years in Ports­ mouth penitentiary, they to run con­ currently.” List of Robberies The robberies included the fol­ lowing homes ill Western Ontario: Oxford, John Nemic, Garnet Moriss, John Crep, Bruce Williams, Harvey Day, all Norwich Township; Sam Connor, Dereham Towns'hi.p; Huron James Aitkenhead, Alton Jolhnson, Nelson Sheere, Herbert McKay, By­ ron Rowcliffe, all residing on high­ way No. 4, between Exeter and 'Clinton; Tillsonburg, Uric Fuller’s residence; Wellington, Harold Day, Mrs. Ellen Hutton, Peel Township; (Albert Mitchell, John Stubbs, Geo.

The average man will doubt that it •costs the publishers approximately fourteen cents to put each copy of the magazine ill the subscriber’s hands when it can be purchased ar any news stand for a nickel and if taken by the year the price is less than that. When their advertising rates are taken into consideration one gets some idea Where the extra money comes from. We understand a full page advertisement in one is­ sue runs as high as $13,'000 to $16,- ■00'0,000 depending on t'he location of the page" Other interesting fi­ gures follow: Paper needed to print each issue, if stretched out .would form a path 45 inches wide and 11,000 miles long. The copies of One issue laid end to end, would stretch from New York almost to Chicago. And if you stacked ail these copies flat, you’d ■have a pile twenty-nine times the height of the Empire State Building. If you tore out the pages of one issue, yok’d have a blanket which would almost cover Trenton, the capital city of New Jersey, It takes thirty tons of ink each issue. It takes 232 miles of wire to Staple each week’s issue together. That means there are 12,964 miles of steel wire in the 166 million odd issues print­ ed each year, To handle this print­ ing, seventy-four presses run twenty- four hours a day, five days a week and get their power from a plant big enough to electrify a town of 22,•• 000 people. TIME MARCHES ON Recently in cleaning up an old attic, a bundle of newspapers was found, brown with age. Amongst them was a copy of "The Buffalo Illustrated Express’ of July 13th, 1901, in which under the caption “Some Toronto Gossip" an interesting article appears.It is headed "Tent Hospitals for Con­sumption Patients", and is evidently a press despatch from Toronto, reading— In a very short time a tent hospital for the treatment of consumption patients will be established". It goes on to state that the selection of .a site was causing much, difficulty; that the proposal of a consumption hospital came from half a dozen City physicians, some of whom were willing to donate theif^services free of charge because of the great need of having some place for those suffering from the White Plague, without travelling far from Toronto.With the approval of the theh Pro­vincial Medical Officer of Health, Dr. Bryce, it was proposed to have nearly a dozen tents, some for cooking, others for sleeping, and the first of such tents were to be borrowed from tlio Militia De­partment,This proposal was made just three years before the Toronto Hospital for Con­sumptives was established and doubtless was instigated by a marked change in public opinion as to the curability of tuberculosis, forced by tho success attained at the little hospital in Muskoka which had been erected by the National Sanitarium Association some eight years earlier, the first hospitaffor the treatment of tuberculosis in Canada.Looking back to those early days when patients were housed in tents or can­vassed, open front /Wooden /shacks, tending their Own fires, helping with the preparation of food, carrying water from a Central pump, and other chores, one Is tempted to think that the cure was almost worse than the disease.What an evolution there has boon! Take tho Muskoka and Toronto Hos­pitals for Consumptives and the Queen Mary Hospital for Consumptive Children as models of present day sanatoria, with tlmir great buildings scientifically equip­ped and adequately staffed, Where skilled medical and surgical troatmont may bo given, accompanied by export nursing care. . '■. „Of course, such Service is costly ana these hospitals must have help in caring for tho tuberculous poor. That is why you arc asked to contribute. Will you please send your gift to National Sani­tarium Association, 223 College Street, Toronto.
