TURKEY LONDON LIONS VISIT LOCAL CLUB Nostrums that will cure anything from an ingrown toenail to an epi­ demic of poor relations are sold to a gullible public because the pub­ lic likes to be humbugged, said Dr. Jos. Boyd, dentist, of Stratford, at the Exeter Lions supper meeting at the Central Hotel (Friday evening” last. Dr. Boyd was speaking on “Fraudulent Advertising”. Mem­ bers from the London /club were present for a fraternal visit. Lion President H. C. Rivers welcomed the visitors. Lion Tamer E. R. Hopper led in a *sing-song. In a draw for a clothes hamper, T. O. Southcott was' the winner. A tur­ key dinner for two donated by Lion I, Hasan, of the Maple Leaf and Esquire -Grills, London, was won by Lion Dr. Cowen. Dr. 'Cowen in­ troduced the speaker of the even­ ing. For passing counterfeit mon­ ey a person may be arrested, said the speaker. Yet many of the (com­ modities we buy are misrepresent­ ed. Some are harmful, some even dangerous, yet promoters by the use of skillfully worded advertise­ ments and faked testimonials' have induced the public to buy and have themselves grown 'rich. Almost any druggist will give honest advice about patent medicines if asked for it, said the speaker. The chief of­ fenders are- in the lines of cure-all remedies, cosmetics, tooth pastes, mouth washes and some food stuffs. A * constant use of all bran or of laxatives will lead to chronic (con­ ditions with harmful results. Dr. Boyd’s remarks were based on re­ ports of scientific research by re­ sponsible authorities. His address was both interesting and illuminat­ ing and he received a prolonged ovation at the close. President Jack Paisley, of the London Lions club expressed the pleasure of the members at being present and ex- . tended an invitation to the Exeter Club to return the visit. The name of, A. J. SjYeitzer was proposed and accepted as a new member.

Fourteen dollars may not mean much to some people or it may mean a<Lot or money, In this case it represents the savings of a young lad from -his summer’s wages. After working all summer and receiving the balance of the money coming to him the lad had paid his doctor’s bill, as he is not in the best of health, and had only fourteen dollars left. When he in­ serted- the advertisement we asked him what reward he wished to pay. “Give them half of it,” he said. “I’ll be glad to get the other half back.” We told hipi it was a very liberal reward and more than was necessary. If the person finding the money failed to see the adver­ tisement and reads this article would be glad to see the money turned. we re- •V ANNOUNCEMENT and Mrs. John EsseryMr ■ .. ___, celebrate the sixtieth anniversary of their marriage at their home in Centralia, December 1st and will be “At Home**, to their friends from 2 to 5 o’clock In the afternoon: hhd from 8 to 10 in the evening.
