EVERY WOMAN
FACES THIS QUESTION
How do I look to other people?
So many women risk their beauty
by neglect of constipation. It often
causes loss pf pep, sallow skins,
dull eyes, poor complexions.
Yet common constipation can be
ended so easily, Just eat two tablespoonfuls of Kellogg’s All-Bran
with milk or fruits every day, three
times daily in severe casc-s, This de
licious ready-to-eat cereal supplies
the “bulk” needed to exercise the
system—and vitamin B to .help tone
up the intestinal tract,
Within the body, All-Bran ab
sorbs more than twice its weight in
water, gently sponging out the in
testines. It never causes the artifi
cial action of pills and drugs, that
often prove ineffective.
Kellogg’s All-Bran, you see, is
it food—not a medicine. It relieves
common constipation the way Na

New Heating Plant Considered
Mr. Howard Machan presented' to
Council blue prints of plans for a
steam heating equipment for the
Town Hall and explained same to the
Council. There was much discussion
regarding this matter: It was point
ed out that the cost of heating the
building was $600 per year and if a
proper system was installed it would
save considerable money in the long
run.
The following motion by Reeve
Davidson, and Coun. VanWyck was
carried. That the local plumbers sub
mit tenders for the installation of a
steam heating plant for the town hall
according to plans and specifications
now before the meetihg.
Fire Truck Needed, Says Repve
Reeve Davidson said that the fire
fighting equipment we have at pres
ent is the poorest equipment of any
town in the district. He was of the
opinion that an up-to-date fire truck
is nee'ded. He had inspected some of
these trucks at the Bickle factory in
Woodstock recently and submitted
photos of some trucks to council. He
said an up-to-date fire truck with a
booster and all necessary equipment
would, be approximately $3200.
Following considerable discussion
it was moved by Reeve Davidson and
Coun. Wilkinson that the Clerk pre
pare a By-law for $3500, to be paid
in five annual instalments, the inter
est rate to be for the purchase
of a new fire truck. Carried

. Brussels Won Here 10-4
" j
In a Junior W.O.H.A. scheduled j
game here on Munday the local kids
lost to their heavier Brussels rivals
by the wide margin of 10-4. The
score was not a correct indication of ■
the play as the- local lads had just as
much of the play as their opponent.
Casemore had an off night in goal
and Bateson helped Brussels also by
scoring one for them.-
The first period was not long un
der way when Nichol scored and two
more shortly after put Brussels three •
up. Baker got one this period on a '
long shot which ended the scoring
for the period. i
Before our kids could land another County boys were ahead 12-2,. thanks
goal Brussels got two more in the
second to make it 5-1. Posliff bang- I
ed one in and the period “ended with '
Brussels leading 5-2.
N. Rutledge was the first to score
in the third stanza, then Bateson put
credit for that one. N. Rutledge
sunk another as did King to put Brus-
on the right end of a 9-2 count. The
locals flashed some nice combination
at this stage, Bob Rae scoring twice
on combination plays with Posliff.
N. Rutledge bagged another, his third
this period, to end the scoring.

Hector McQuarrie would not ap
prove the practice of very many of
the temporary survivors, who pay for
the granite, of selecting sanctimoni
ous verses to be engraved at the base
of the stone; which would indicate
that the spirit of the body below
was already in Paradise awaiting un
ion with the spiritual body yet to be
given to it and destined for the Hap
py Hunting Ground, when it was well
known that the drunken scoundrel
was what Davie Campbell would call
“ a child of the devil.” Fortunately,
for the cause of truth and righteous
ness, a crop of timothy frequently
grows around the stone sufficiently
tall to hide the hypocrisy.
It seemed to me in some grave
yard I read at the base of a monu
ment to perpetuate the memory of
a housewife “She made home pleas
ant.” Let us hope that was a fact and
trust the weeping widower remember
ed with gratitude at least
of domestic tranquility,

at the moment were those in mem
ory of the founder of the Kinder
garten school and the one chiefly
responsible for the authorized ver
sion of the Bible. The last first, was
to Tindale “His life was hidden in
his work and his epitaph was the

Great lessons are to be learned in

poem is Gray’s Elegy in a Country

us give them “The passing tribute of

OLD TIMES
By P. S. Fisher
When on a visit to the old town
in recent years I found so few peo
ple on. the main street that I knew,
that I betook myself to the Cemet
ery. It had a dual significance. In
disorganized about mid-way in the i slowly marching up and down the
third period. Not that the Gold and
Black were in much danger up till
j that time but the boys in blue weren’t
■ doing too bad. The score then was one in the Wingham net King got ' q.% and for the f5rst five or sjx mjn_
utes of rhe last session the Wing-
j hamites were playing their best lxoc-
• key of the night.
I Then just at the 8.45 minute mark
, a bad decision by Referee Teasdale
| of Brampton seemed to take all the
. fight out of the boys. The puck had
| come out cf the Wingham defense
zone into centre ice where Dean pick
ed it up and marched in. to score un
molested with two of his teammates
still far inside the blue line. Penal
ties to Thompson and Somers cost
three goals and the parade was on.
The Durham and Clinton rinks are
very similar, very narrow and not too
long and both teams play a very sim
ilar type of game. These clubs shoot
the puck into some unprotected corn
er and are poison in front of the net.
The locals, coached in wide' passing
style were almost impotent on the
attack, as is usually the case in Clin
ton. While the Durham crew will be
still harder to stop on the large ice
here the locals should by the same
token make things much harder for
the Durham net-minder.
For Durham, the fine of Rennie,
Dean and Cassidy, as usual, scintill
ated. Bleich, on defense, was also
very dangerous on the attack. By a
strange coincidence both local goals
came when the Birds were short-hand
ed. On .one Durham also should have
received a penalty, Harold Mitchell
being tripped from behind, but man
aging to get his shot away after
stumbling several steps. Cruickshanks
and Rae also broke away from a Dur
ham gang attack, the latter scoring.
Harry Brcwn, playing his first game
since leaving the bachelor ranks,
also played a fine game. His team
mates and also the fans, we’re sure,
will wish i he Elora boy and his bride
many happy years of tyedded bliss.
