HEADACHE AFTER
headache
Now She’s Free from Them
A woman writes: “I would like
everyone who suffers from head
aches to try Kruschen Salts, Before
taking Kruschen I was seldom free
from a headache. But since I 'have
been taking it regularly I have hard
ly had a headache, for which I am
very thankful, I have .been taking
a small dose of Kruschen every
morning in a glass of water, before
my breakfast, and I feel so well.”—
(Mrs,) A.E.D.
How do you deal with 'headaches?
Do you just take something to dead
en the ipain, without getting rid *of
the trouble which causes the pain?
Headaches can generally be traced
to a disordered stomach and to the
unsuspected retention in the system
of stagnating waste material which
poisons the blood. Remove these
poisons—prevent them forming again
—and you’ll never have to worry any
more—from that cause. And that
is just how Kruschen Salts
bring swift and lasting relief from
headaches. Kruschen aids Nature to
cleanse your ‘body completely of clog
ging waste matter.

ROBIN IS BACK FOR
FOURTEENTH YEAR
This is the 14th year year the same
male robin has come to the home of
Mrs. Albert Switzer, Granton. When
he had been coming three or four
years, he had an accident which left
him with a drooped wing. So that is
one way they know “Boiblbie” who
knows his name and will come when
called. 'Last year he /came in during
a bad storm in March. He flew to
the back door and demanded food.
He is [back this year again and still
comes to the porch for food. Bob
bie keeps possession of the back yard
and will not let other robins molest
his mate, who nests in the eaves of
the house.
OFFICER LEVER SUGGESTS
SAFETY MEASURES
In view of the recent epidemic of
car accidents in this vicinity, Traffic
Officer Lever issues a warning to
motorists, and stresses particularly
the law regarding left-hand turns. In
making a left turn it is compulsory
by law that the driver of a car shall
signal by extended hand, regardless
of whether he can see traffic follow
ing or not. Failure to do so renders
the driver liable to penalty.
Most drivers have the wrong con
ception of the punpose of stop signs
it seems as the majority of drivers
stop back of the sign where, as in
the case of the main intersection
here, the vision is blocked on both
sides. In such cases the driver
should ’bring his car to a halt "when
he reaches a point where he has a
clear vision of the highway to the
right and left and not bar-k of the
stop sign.
Observance of the above rules, to
gether with a mixture of common
sense would help to cut down acci
dents is the belief of our traffic of
ficer.—‘Clinton News-Record

Electrocuted
Ourtis Murchiel, 29 years old,
died early Good Friday morning in
Stratford General Hospital, suffer
ing from terrible electric burns and
shock received on Thursday last
about noon while working with a
hydro gang on the 2nd concession of
McKillop north of St. Col.umban.
Burchiel had been making his
temporary home in Seaforth while
working with an extra gang of four
teen men. The ’body was taken to
Chatham by Mrs. Burchiel, who had
been staying at Seaforth.
‘The accident occurred when Bur-
ehiel was working on a hydro pole
removing a cross arm. Dead and live
wires were both on the pole and it
is believed one of the dead wires
which he was touching swung over
to a live wire, sending 26,000 volts
of electricty through his body, He
was terribly burned about the body.

Under the provisions of the Bri
tish Agricultural Act of 1837 which
aims at enriching the soil in order
to promote greater production, the
British Government has authority
to reimburse the farmers for 50 per
cent, of the cost of the lime and 25
per cent, of basic slag fertilizer ap
plied to their land. The Act affects
Canada insofar as the better feed for
livestock should increase the demand
in the United Kingdom for store

Fertilizer Formulas
Brands of commercial fertilizer in
Canada are expressed by formulas,
such as 4-8-10 and 5-10-5. In each
case the figures denote in the order
given the guaranteed percentages of
nitrogen, phosphoric acid, and po
tash. Thus, in a 4-8-110 mixture
there would be four pounds of nit
rogen, eight pounds of available
phosphoric acid, and ten pounds of
water soluble potash in every 100
pounds of mixture. Tn a ton natur
ally there would be 20 times these
amounts.

A Bad Fire
On Tuesday afternoon the com

fire that completely destroyed the
fine, almost new barn and contents
of Mr. Samuel Hendrick, who lives
on the Blue Water Highway, about 3
miles south of St. Joseph. Mr. Hend
rick who was working in the field
near the 'barn noticed that the barn
was afire Which evidently had start
ed in the hay mow. The news was
immediately sent around and the
neighbors gathered but were unable
to do anything but try and keep
other buildings from igniting in the
vicinity, as there was a strong wind
blowing at the time which urged on
the roaring mass of flames to des
truction, Besides the barn and
equipment twelve head of young
cattle were consumed’and 34 pigs as
The fire was too far advanced to get
the animals out. Fortunately the
milch cows were out m the yard for
the afternoon and escaped.—Zurich

Bacon Exports
Regularity of supply is important
and necessary in building U|p a trade
connection for Canadian bacon on
the United Kingdom market and as
an aid to keeping prices at a reas-
ably constant level, states the Cana
dian Animal products Trade Com
missioner in England. During 1937
there was more irregularity in Can
adian shipments than during 1936,
also a substantial spread in quan
tities. Bacon is a non-storable pro
duct and as it is handled in large
volume an increase of 55 .per cent,
or over in imlports in a few weeks*
time makes it impossible to place
this surplus on tlhe market without
causing price fluctuations, Canada is
the only overseas bacon supplied out of 20 countries which has Che free-1
