Engkuid is called Boxing Day and in
the Qkl Land it is the custom to visit
one's friends during the day. During
Christmas Day the English family
stays at home and enjoys the fireside.
This year with Christmas coming
on Friday, the places that observe
Boxing Day will lrave their stores
dosed for three days in succession
and it is said that it is for this reason
that Boxing Day was not adopted in
many centres.
So far we have heard little or
talk regarding the observance of B
ing Day in Wingliam.

Scientific tests have shown that
meals which miss the proper "bulk"
tend to cause common constipation.
This* condition causes discomfort,
and may lead to headaches, loss of
appetite, even serious disease,
Avoid these faulty meals by add
ing Kellogg’s All-Bran to your
menus. It supplies generous “bulk”
in convenient form. This absorbs
moisture, and gently exercises and
cleanses the system. All-Bran
also furnishes vitamin B and con
tains iron.
The “bulk” in All-Bran is often
more effective than that found in
fruits and vegetables as it does not
break down within the body. Two
tablespoonfuls daily are usually
sufficient. If not relieved this way,
consult your doctor,
Kellogg’s All-Bran may be
served as a cereal with milk or
cream. Sprinkle over soups, salads
or other cereals. Or cook into ap
petizing muffins, breads, waffles, etc.
It adds a delicious put-sweet flavor
to your recipes.
How much better than taking
patent medicines—sometimes harm
ful! All-Bran is said by all gro
cers. Made by Kellogg in London,
Ontario.
OUR NEW KING
History, unprecedented, has been
made within the Empire. < >n the
throne now' sits George VI, the sec
ond son of our late sovereign George
V and Queen Alary. The circum
stances under which he assumes the
duties and responsibilities as head of
the Empire were most sad and try-
mb. His brother, Edward, was pop
ular as Prince of Wales and as King.
He had travelled extensively and had
e a sincere sympathy for the working
classes. For the love of a woman he
gave up the throne. The choice was
his alone,
The new King is well fitted for his
new office. He has many of the ad
mirable qualities of our beloved late
monarch, his ’ father, George V. He
as the Duke of York, won the affec
tions of the people and in his own
quiet way has taken a great interest
in the welfare of the industrial work
er and the man-in-the-street.
His task is a great one but Canada
as part of the British Empire, has
every confidence that our new King
will discharge, the duties of his office <
well and that the Empire will con-1
tinue to progress as it was expected?
it would under Edward.
The new King is known as a fam
ily man and his happy family circle
is something that is to be desired.
His Scotch wife, long ere this, has
won her way into the hearts of the
people of the Empire. His daughters,
Princess Elizabeth and Princess Mar
garet Rose, are the sweethearts of
Britain.
Edward gave up the Throne and
its responsibilities. Our new King
stepped into the breach. His action
proves that he. is not lacking in cour
age.
God save the King!

HOME IMPROVEMENT PLAN
Reports indicate that the Home
Improvement Plan adopted by the
Dominion Government, has been
meeting with considerable success in
the larger centres but so far has not:
attracted much attention otherwise. ■
The plan is a copy, so to speak, of ;
what was used in die United States
with marked success. The idea is that;
one may fix up their property, in:
town or on farm, and have a period provmt5a] highways. The 1

OUR WATER SUPPLY
A warning note was sounded
Commissioner W, H. Gurney at the
nomination meeting in the Town Hall
recently that in the near future it may
be necessary fur the local Commission
to drill a new well. Water psers are
well aware of the fact that during
dry hot weather the conservation of
water is of vital necessity. There are
few municipalities that are so equip
ped that they can supply all the wat
er desired during abnormal summer
weather conditions. Last summer
most places had to conserve the wat
er and co-operation of the citizens
was necessary in this regard.
We do not wish to panic the pub
lic in regard to our water supply as
the present well is givin ga sufficient
supply at present, but as Air. Gurney
has said, it is something that will, no
doubt, have to be considered in the
future.
Our present supply of water is not
only- ample but it is of a very high
quality and this is something for
which we should be exceedingly
; thankful.
