THE STORE THAT NEVER DISAPPOINTS
Identified
The bank teller in a snippy way
said: “But I don’t know you, madam!”
The woman was red-headed and she
got “Red-headed” in a minute. She
said: “Oh, yes you do. I don’t need
anyone to identify me. I’m the ‘red
headed hen’ next door to you whose
‘imps of boys’ are always running
across your garden. When you started
to town this morning your wife said:
Now, Henry, if you want a dinner fit
to eat this evening, you’ll have to
leave me a little money. I can’t keep
this house on Christian Science.”
‘Here is your money,” interrupted
the paying teller very faintly.

What do they mean when they say
the world is going to be run by wo
men. What are they doing now?
In your editorial ofSept. 29th. is
sue of The Sentinel, “People Like to
be Humbugged,” you certainly launch- j
ed a terrific attack on several, lines cf
business. Among the list is mention' d
Proprietary medicine manufacturers.
As the writer of this article is an
owner of a business of this nature
I feel that a reply is required to
straighten out this matter, and give
the readers an idea of how a Proprie
tary Medicine Co. is actually operat
ed. •
We will all admit that black sheep
have always figured to some extent
in all lines of business, but when it
comes to making a statement, such as
you made in the closing lines of your
editorial last week, we shall have to
defend our business.
In the first place, I object very
strongly to the source from which you
gathered your information, namely
the London Times, edited by the late
Lord Northcliffe. This man No ‘hcliffe
was gentleman enough to pounce on a
man who died and was in his grave
leaving behind a fortune accumulated
in the medicine business. He is the
same Northcliffe who left no stone
unturned to discredit Lloyd George
and drive him from power. He is very
much like the world-renowned Sein
Feiners, always against the govern
ment, and if you read the last issue
of the Montreal Witness, second page,
at top of first column, you will read
that what is known today as the
Northcliffe press is meddling with the
Turkish situation and siding in with
France, losing no opportunity -to con
demn that wonderful man Lloyd
George in the hour of crisis.
Your editorial conveys the impres
sion that the doctors are all up in
arms against such concerns as manu
facturers of medicine. Do the doctors
not buy their tablets, pills, powders,
ointments and drugs from such insti
tutions? and they do not claim as you
state, to have their minds equipped
with all the knowledge of human ills,
their origin, prevention and cure, that
has been accumulated since the world
began. Nearly all successful doctors
have formulas which they know have
merit and helped them to win success
and they are anxious to pass the good
thing along, so they dispose of the
formula to some company. I have
several such formulas in use in this
way. These formulas are manufactur
ed into products, put up under my
own name. This is what you call Pro
prietary medicine. If I get the name
patented that would make it a Patent
medicine. Now before any company
can sell a bottle of medicine, it must
first submit its formula to the gov
ernment,, together with the quantity
put up in bottle or package and the
size of dose with the total number of
doses to be taken in twenty-four
hours, and 'if the formula is O.K., 1t
will then be required to buy a license
and place the license number on the
label. This you have to do with every
preparation. If you had one huffdred
preparations you would be obliged to
buy one hundred licenses. Every move
and turn you make is under strict
government control. When you get
started to do business with the public
and they find you have a poor product
you go down, while on the other hand,
if your product has merit the public
will buy readily and you succeed.
Seven of the firms you mention in
your editorial, I have dealings with
and I found the different firms abso
lutely reliable and producing articles
with a reputation for merit. Their
goods were always in demand and are
still so, because they give results.
How satisfactory it ’is to go to your
dealer and get what you know to be
exactly what you want, all ready,
handy and at a reasonable price.
I have always read with pleasure
your editorials and consider them bet
ter than any other local editorials
that I find in our papers, and it beats
me to understand how you consented
to publish such trash from the ag
gregation editing the London Times.
It would be more interesting reading
for the public to learn the number of
millions of dollars that the late
Northcliffe accumulated writing this
sort of dope. Very seldom has ever
any individual left behind so many
millions with so few friends.
W. L. MacKenzie.

THRESHING ACCIDENT
Last week, Archie Bonnett, son of
Mr. James Bonnett, 2nd. of Bruce,
met with an accident while threshing
at the farm of Mr. R. Christie, 10th.
Bruce. He was engaged in fixing a
small belt on the engine and while
doing so was standing on the big
drive belt. When he finished his work
he gave the signal to start, but did
not get off the belt in time. He was
thrown to the ground and in some
manner got his foot caught and sus
tained • a compound fracture of the
leg. He, will be laid up for some time.
What can a working girl live on?
Well she could live on the money
wasted by those who tell her.what she
should live on.
A GREAT MIX-UP
Young Men, Automobiles, Horses and
Cattle in Mix-Up on the Road.—
Then the Story Gets Mixed Up
(From the Durham Chronicle)
A dispatch from Mount Forest un
der date of October 1, says:
“Four young men from here rented
a car from Mr. Rooney’s livery last
night to go to Hanover, and when
about four miles west of Durham on
the Hanover road they came to a
place where a horse and a herd of
cows were feeding. The driver turned
out to dodge the horse when one of
the cows, stepping directly in front of
his car, was struck and killed. The
car, passing over the cow, upset,
throwing the four men into the ditch.
“Percy Steele was the worst hurt
and was taken to Durham, where an
X-ray of his injuries showed that a
bone in his back had been broken. He
was brought home on a stretcher to
day. E. Morrison, who was driving
the car, suffered a dislocated shoulder
and a badly bruised knee. Mr. Keelin
ha§ two "black eyes and J. Murdock
received a bad shaking up. The car
was badly damaged.
“The man who owned the cattle
will likely be held responsible for the
accident.”
The story told above is certainly
not the story told The Chronicle on
Saturday, the day after the accident.
According to the story told us, there
were two cars in the mix-up, and
they were going down the long grade
to Livingston’s Corners at a good
rate of speed. The cows in question
were the properJr of Mr. Robert
Johnston, now in the West, and were
being taken to pasture by his son,
who is running the farm in his ab
sence. The first car that came along
struck and injured a colt, and finally
’ ran into a cow, killing it almost in
stantly. When the cow was struck,
the car turned around, and, if we
remember aright, slewed around on
the road and when it stopped was
facing toward Durham. One of the
young men was thrown out and lay
in the road when the other car came
along and passed over him, apparent
ly not doing any injury. How it ran
over the young man in the road and
at the same time escaped the dead
cow is a mystery to our informant,
but anyway, it did. After proceeding
a short distance down the road it
stopped, but none of the occupants

A TERRIBLE BOY
There was an earthquake recently,
which frightened the inhabitants of
a certain town. One couple sent
their little boy to stay with an uncle
■in another district, and explained the
reason. A day or two later the par
ents received thi§ telegram: “Am
returning your boy. Send the earth
quake.”

minute or so, proceeded on its way.
The supposition is that the occupants
of the second car thought they were
implicated in injuring the young man
lying motionless on the road, and left
before their number could be taken.
SCHOOL STUDENTS
HAVE FINE DAY’S SPORT
High spirits and great glee marked
the sports on School Field Day,
Thursday of last week. It was a fine
day for an outing and quite a long list
of events were run off according to
program.
Clair Shackleton was first to er ss
the line in the marathon, Campbell
Thompson coming in second. First
and second honors in the bicycle race
went to Tom Alton and Eldon Reid.
Reid also won the prize for taking
highest number of points during the
day.
A well-contested game of baseball
was played in the park in the after
noon between teams from Wingham
and Lucknow High Schools. The hoiye
team won by a score of 5-4.
The prizes were -given at the Town
Hall in the evening when a full house
was present to enjoy a program given
mainly by the school.

ONE YEAR FOR STEALING CAR
Walter Johnson, an eighteen-year-
old boy of Owen Sound, was sentenc
ed to one year in the Ontario Re
formatory for stealing a car belong
ing to Mr. J. H. Rutherford. The theft
was soon discovered. The local po
lice telephoned Shallow Lake, where
the thief was arrested. He was ac
companied by another boy and inside
of an hour the car was back in Owen
Sound and the boys in the police
cells. Johnson pleaded guilty and
stated that the other boy, Finnet,
knew nothing of the car being stol
en. Finnet pleaded not guilty and
his case was dismissed. Johnson had
been in the police court a number of
times and had been warned. Police
Magistrate Creasor in pronouncing
the sentence said the boy had been
warned before and stated that a new
amendment to the Criminal Code
states that anyone convicted of steal
ing a car cannot receive a sentence
of less than one year in the Ontario
Reformatory.—Durham Chronicle.
