The modern way to treat a cold is
this: Two “Aspirin” tablets the
moment you feel a cold coming on.
Repeat, if necessary, in two hours. If
you have a sore throat with the cold,
dissolve 3 “Aspirin” tablets in
glass of water and gargle with this
twice. The “Aspirin” you take in
ternally will act to combat fever,
aches, pains and the cold itself. The
gargle will provide almost instant
relief from soreness and rawness of
your throat. Your doctor, we feel
sure, will approve this modem way

Kid Smokes Cigars
Our reporter was surprised and
somewhat shocked to see one evening
last week a young lad of the town,
about 12 years of age, playing mar
bles under a street light, and at the
same time smoking a large cigar, at
which lie was puffing like a veteran.
We have often seen young boys of
teen age or less smoking cigarettes
in dark corners, but to witness a lad
of such tender years brazingly smok
ing a cigar at a well lighted corner
of the town wash shocking to say
the least.—Harriston Review-
Must Supply Water
When the town of Walkerton es
tablished a cemetery close to the farm
of J, P. Johnstone, it so contaminat

for human consumption. As a result
the town has been advised by the pro
vincial board of health that it must
see that he is supplied with a satis
factory supply of water. Council is i

the cemetery to Mr. Johnston’s farm.
Sure you “get along”, Mr, Brown, and you
could get along without a lot of other things,
too. Your car, for instance, and that shiny?
tractor over there. And lots of others. But
your idea isn’t just to “get along”, now is it,
Mr. Brown?
You invested money in those other things
because they give you good return, either in
money, comfort or enjoyment.
And so, Mr. Brown, since you haven’t a tele
phone, you’re missing a bet! It will give you
maximum return in money, comfort and
enjoyment. Drop into our nearest office.
They’ll tell you more about it!
