Following! is the address: • j We your neighbors and friends' have gathered her this evening to express our good wishes for your ap­ proaching marriage. The most of ! us have known you for quite a long time and many of us have been in) [School with you: so we all know: jwhat a very good friend you have) always been and we will indeed miss you. We are sorry that you will be leaving our midst.but you are not going so far that we will lose you entirely.. We wish you to accept these little gifts as a token of the high esteem in which we hold you. We also hope that they will help some to lighten your household duties. Hilda may we again extend to you our very best wishes for a long, happy and' prosperous married life. Even though there are a few dull moments when things seem not to be going just right always remember that “Every Cloud has a Silver Lin­ ing." "Why do you call your boy friend 'Pilgrim’?" "Because every time he calls he makes a little progress." * * * A little over one hundred years ago, the English Language was spoken by only 20,000,0’00 people, while 32,000,00'0 spoke German. To­ day, about 78,000,000 understand and use German while 234,000,000 speak and use English. If you like to take a peak into the future, these figures may be definitely helpful. Stubborn Cases of Constipation Those who keep a mass of impurity pent up in their bodies, day after day, instead of having it removed as nature intended, at least once in every twenty-four hours, in­ variably suffer from constipation. The use of cheap, harsh purgatives will never get you any where as they only aggravate the trouble and in­ jure the delicate mucous lining of the bowels, and are very liable to cause piles. If constipated take Milburn’s Laxa-Liver Pills and have a natural movement of the bowels. They do not gripe, weaken and sicken as many laxatives do. The T. Milburn Co., Ltd., Toronto, Ont.

Mills had his arm fractured > while playing football on the school A "chick-guard" like the one pictured above would be mighty useful in your brooder house this Winter, And here’s how you can get <jne, absolutely free: Just place your order with us for 200 or more Bray chicks before the end of January. You don’t have to take delivery in January—though it probably would be good business to do it. For if you are planning to have your pullets full grown and laying full-sized eggs at full speed by next August, when prices are well started on their climb to the Fall peak, you have to START THEM EARLY. Early broilers are the ones that usually bring best prices, too. And if you decide to carry them through to sell as roasters, it’s the early bird that's ready for the tourist trade—which should be heavy this year, with Europe closed to tourists. Give Your Chicks a Chance Here’s another advantage: You have more time in Winter to give your chicks the care they deserve. And when the rush of Spring work begins, early chicks are well past the stage where they need so much attention. That’s fine for the chicks and for you! While you’re laying your plans, don’t overlook the fact that the kind of chicks you start with has a lot to do with the kind of flock you wind up with. It will pay you to buy the kind of chicks that live and grow fast— chicks that develop into pullets with the vigor, vitality and size to help them lay early, lay heav­ Good chicks deserve good care. Is your brooder house in good shape—wind and rat-tight? FRED W. BRAY, Limited John St. N., - - Hamilton or BRAY HATCHERY EXETER, Phone 246 grounds.
