WHAT A.
RELIEF!
That tickling in the throat is most
distressing, and is caused by a cold
settling in the throat.
The dry, hard cough not only keeps
you in misery all day long, but also
prevents you getting a good night’s
sleep.
What you need to relieve this
tickling’cough is Dr. Wood’s Norway
Bine Syrup. This valuable prepara
tion is composed of the most sooth
ing bnd healing expectorant barks
and herbs with which is combined
the virtues of the world-famous
Norway pine tree.

terms. He is believed to have been
the most-sentenced man ever to be
taken from Middlesex County jail

spends at Kingston, every day in the
penitentiary will really represent 28
days. All 28 terms are being serv
ed simultaneously.
Some of the sentences are six
months, some two years, and some
two and a half years. He will have
to do only the longest sentence, and
he may cut even that down by good
behavior.
Cluff was taken by police on a
tour of Western Ontario courts after
they.caught up with him for a long
trail of bad cheques.
He pleaded guilty and was
fenced in Stratford, Goderich, Mid
dlesex County and London

SEED GRAIN CLEANING
“It was reported last week that
county snow plows were being used
to clear some of the concessions in
the district which are still buried
as a result of the unusually heavy
snowfalls of the past winter. Our
Porter’s Hill correspondent writes
as follows:
“It has been rather difficult to
get. items to your paper as our mail
man finds our roadfe in a deplorable
condition. Hehas not been along
this Way (R.R, No. 1, Goderich)
since before Easter. The snow is
now slowly but surely disappearing.
The telephone wires which have been
buried so deep all winter were dug
up a week ago. The young man
who did the work told me he shov
elled six feet of snow off the wires
before he could pull them out,
Strange but true is the fact the snow,
did not in any way interfere with
our telephdne system, in fact our
line has never been in better condi
tion,"
Speaking of difficulties foi*

route number one from Clinton
found the going heavy like all the
rest. Part of the journey required
