DON’T SUFFER FROM CONSTIPATION Read this letter from Wm, C, Billings (address on request): "When I had eaten a heavy break­ fast, I would feel logy, After a couple of days of this, I would have to take a laxative, "One morning I had a dish of All-Bran. It beats any laxative, as it keeps me in shape every day.” Everybody knows that taking medicine all the time is an un­ healthy habit, How much better to end common constipation by enjoy­ ing this safe, natural food I Kellogg’s All-Bran relieves common constipation because it gives the body the “bulk” it needs. It absorbs twice its weight in water, gently exercises and sponges the intestines clean. Try it for a week. If not- satis­ fied your money will be refunded by the Kellogg Company. Two table­ spoonfuls daily are usually enough ’—with every meal in chronic cases. Serve with milk or fruits. Sold by all grocers. Made by Kellogg in London. OBITUARY Charles A. Bearss The death of Charles A. Bearss, of North Malahide, near Algoma, be­ loved husband of Helen Beckett, for­ merly of Wingham, occurred at his home -on Tuesday of last week. He was born at Attica, Mich., and at the age of 12 returned' to Malahide and for 18 years has lived on the farm where he died. He was a member of the United Church. Surviving are his wife, one brother and six sisters. » The funeral was held on Friday from the family residence. Interment took place in Aylmer Cemetery. Mrs. Edwin Smith and Mrs. Roy Cantelon, sisters-in-law of the deceas­ ed, attended the funeral. • / 23?FEWER STEPS.. in the Household Routine CANADIANS WON HOCKEY TITLE Kimberley Dynamiters added an­ other trophy to the Allan Cup they won a year ago. They took the world’s amateur hockey championship on Saturday night by defeating Swit­ zerland 2-1 in overtime, the closest Kimberley came to defeat in the ser­ ies. Previously the Dynamiter'S had not been threatened as they rang up eight victories, six of them shut-outs. Kenny Campbell’s shutout record in­ cluded the strong English team that was defending the honors won by England at the Olympic games last winter.- Canada scored 60 goals in the tournament, 10 more than did the Canadian-trained boys wearing Eng­ land’s sweaters. SCHOOL KIDS LOST TO DUNGANNON In a hard-fought game on Saturday morning in Wingham Arena, Dun­ gannon Juniors defeated Wingham Public School by a score of 4-3. Dun- gannpn has an older and heavier team but the Wingham boys had their share of the play throughout. In the first period Wingham took the lead when Gorbutt scored but Durnin evened the count a few moments later. In the second, Currie and Durnin scored for Dungannon, Prentice for the locals. In the third, Durnin scored again, and Forsyth counted for Wingham. With only two minutes to go, Bunn was right in alone with only the goalie to beat but failed to tie tl,ie score. . For Dungannon, Durnin was the best, his solo rushes being always dangerous. For‘Wingham, the line of Murray, Johnson and Bunn held Dungannon's heavy first line well. Dungannon — I. Eedy, F. Eedy, R. Currie, G. Currie, Park, Durnin, H. Culbert, L. Culbert, Montgomery. Wingham — Bunn, Murray, John­ son, Prentice, Gorbutt, Forsyth, Wil­ son, Harris, Lee, Carter, Adams. Referee—Baker. ------------------ . g PUBLIC SCHOOL WON AT LUCKNOW In a close hockey game played in Lticknow, the Wingham Public School team defeated Lucknow by a score of 5-4. For Lticknow Cook scored two and McKenzie arid Darner one each. For Wirigham, Gorbutt scored two and Prentice and Bunn arid Wil-i Son one each. The teams: Lucknow: McKim, Darner, Whitby, MacDonald, T re leaven, Aitcheson, J. McKenzie, D. McKenzie, Cook. Wirigham: Burin, Johnson, Murray, Gorbutt, Prentice, Forsyth, John Wil- .son, Harris, Lee, Joe Wilson, Carter. George Clelland Dinsmore, Saskatchewan—The fun­ eral of George Clelland was held on Thursday afternoon in Dinsmore Un­ ited Church with the Rev. S. W. Crough officiating. The death of Mr. Clelland removes another highly esteemed pioneer al­ ways thinking of others and willing to lend a helping hand. Fie was born near Teeswater, where he lived with his parents for a number of years. Mr. Clelland lived in this district for over 23 years and will be greatly missed by all. He was a good neigh­ bour, devoted husband and a loving- father. He leaves to mourn his loss a sorrowing wife, two girls and a son at home. One girl married, Mrs. Rob­ ert Thorpe, two brothers, Frank of Dinsmore and James, a locomotive engineer, and three sis.ters, one at Harriston, Mrs. J. G. McKenzie of Teeswater, and Mrs. A. M. Fralick, of Wroxeter. Much sympathy is felt for the bereaved friends. BRUSSELS STUDENTS WERE WINNERS Local Students Made It Close But Lost 5-4. In a close game of hockey played at the Arena on Tuesday evening the Brussels High School team defeated our High School by the close score . of 5-4. The local lads were first to score, Robertson from Posliff. Brussels came back strong and went one up when King and Bryans.each notched, one. The period closed a tie as Coutts scored with Howson getting the assist. Wingham went into the lead in the second period when Robertson again scored from Bateson. Brussels made it 4-3 in their favor to end the period Moore and Bates scoring. The honors were even in the scor­ ing during the last period. Habkirk’s goal tied it up but Roland scored to end the period and game with the score Brussels 5, Wingham 4.

Fisher If I. care to indulge in the amus­ ing reflections incident upon thinking of old times I can spend a few pleas­ ant minutes contemplating the heroic courage of those local practitioners of days gone by. Today they would be called ‘country doctors’. It seems to me they paid a colossal price for the distinctive title which elevated them in the eyes of the plebian crowd out of whom they got their living arid fluctuation reputation as physic­ ians. You will remember what a flaming evangel of the temperance cause'. Dr. Macdonald Was. How many school-house addresses that man gave. He too, as you know, had a great flare for politics, as did also Dr. Chisholm and both these men al­ though of opposite political views gained, during their later years, the whole-hearted support of all Wing­ ham and its environs. I was person­ ally inclined to be much encouraged by Dr< Macdonald because I felt he was handicapped by being little of stature and had a rather small head. Of course, Mrs. Macdonald may have had a compensating influence in this respect, as she rather closely approxi­ mated the sum-total of that ideal wife, so succinctly described in a pre- viour article, by the sagacious John Dinsley. I remember Dr.' Macdonald look­ ing over the new post office building (which no doubt he was instrumental in securing for Wingham, when Speaker of the House of Commons), in company with my father and an­ other gentleman whose name I can­ not recall. As they walked up the stairs Dr. Macdonald was in the lead and my father in the rear, "You still use your crutch Mr. Fisher,” said the middle man on the stairs. “I’ll see it’s buried with him,” called down Dr. Macdonald. “I may use it at your funeral,” retorted my father. So they did in those days as we do today i.e., restore by wit and humor the light to the eye and a warmth to the smile and make friendly sport, with no thought of unkindness, of the other fellow’s misfortune. You remember old Dr. Bethune who, winter after winter, went with­ out an overcoat. What an odd chap he was. Then there was Dr. Fowler, the other extreme, whose winter neck­ scarf would reach across the street and when he was bundled up in it he looked like a show pigeon. Dr, Meldrum was the first doctor who took my temperature and gave the professional (umph phum) as he decided to remove the .glass tube be­ side my tongue. All I remember of him was that I liked him, but not his powders. His face to me was a bene­ diction, and successfully quelled the fears in my boyish heart. I admired the skill with which he selected two out of ten bottles containing salt, soda, mustard, flour, corn starch, Ro­ man Meal etc., or something, and knew, as he must have known that those two put into powders would send me back to school inside half a week. Dr. Chisholm lanced my knee in my sleep. My Scotch father saved the bill of an anaesthetic that time. I cried out. Dr. Chisholm assured me it was all over, and it was. I got better, from the rather strange ac­ complishment of running a pin in my knee while cutting the head off a fish. Try as I will, I cannot deflect the tenor of these articles from savoring of an autobiography. I find it hard to generalize my memories. My sole consolation in this I derive from Charles Dickens, whose best book was his own life disguised as you know and called David Copperfield. But let us think of the heroism of these benefactors of our ancestors and ourselves in the decades of the past. Picture a winter scene. It is Feb­ ruary, the snow is deep, the air is cold, the breath of man and beast is a chimney to the skies. Night falls. A town slumbers. Floors crack with lowering temperatures. Outside a storm is on. Trees, telegraph poles, fences, everything is whitened afresh by the swirling' blast. You’re the doc­ tor. The spring on the door rings the bell. You awaken suddenly as the clinking ring mingles with the wind’s intermittent jjoar. You get up quietly, for why disturb your snor­ ing partner? Drawing the curtain aside, the sight you feared is before you, as the nor-wester sways the tail and plays with the mane of the gen­ eral purpose 4 cylinder, that plough­ ed the plentiful pitch-holes for almost eight miles. The cutter is empty and so are your trousers. Soon both are filled; for Duty called louder than the storm and now the cold queen of night, as the storm subsides, sees a lone procession of two cutter's dar­ ing the drifts in the half light of early morning with a bedside and pain as their worthy objective. They ar­ rive. The dog barks.” The kitchen door opens and a flood of light makes diamonds of the snow. The doctor’s horse is put away and given an an­ xious farmer’s best, while the doctor is shown in, to the feverish face and the leaping pulse. The lamp is shift­ ed and worried eyes shift, too. Medi­ cine and advice go hand in hand to help old Mother Nature revive her drooping child. The doctor is given a cup of tea and all but worshipped before he is sent on his way. And what a way •— snow — pitch-holes — wind, and yet there comes into his mind the fewaiding thought So well couched by George Washington wheh he said "Duty done is the soul’s fire- side.” Grey streaks of dawn define the horizon Oh the south-eastern Sky rind as the tired doctor leaves his stable the Union whistle blows out 6 o‘t!ock. The kitchen is ablaze with light; for the little lady shares in Save Money By Prepaying Taxpayers may make payments on account of 1937 taxes up to 90 per cent, of 1936 taxes.

Town of Wingham. the drama and has a hot breakfast and a warm welcome for an old time hero of the night. If this' describes Dr. Chisholm, it may be that he wait­ ed seven months for the fifty cent fee. It’s time for another sleep. News and Information For the Busy Farmer Furnished by the Ontario Department of Agriculture Poultry Prices Down Anyone marketing live fowl, espec­ ially chickens, will find the price down around four cents a pound from last year. The fact that feed is con­ siderably higher has nothing to do with setting the price of fowl. The law of supply and demand is suppos­ ed to be the ruling factor. It was pretty well broadcast earl)! in the fall that the supply of fowl was above av-. erage. Unfortunately too many of the birds being marketed are not in as prime flesh as they should be. One produce dealer who pays a high­ er price proportionately for dressed birds, if they arc good, than he does for live birds, claims he much prefers buying dressed birds, as he can then see what he is getting. At ten to el­ even cents a pound for five to six- pound birds, there should be increas­ ed consumption of fowl on the farm and a considerable quantity canned for spring use. If birds are crate or stall fed, it will pay to dress them rather than sell them alive. Seedsmen’s Annual Fifteen thousand bushels of On­ tario variegated alfalfa seed, valued at more than $250,000, was purchased by the Soviet Government last yeaj for use in Russia, according to an an- nouncement made during the annual■ meeting of the Ontario Field Crop and Seed Association in Toronto. Ten years ago two bushels of the 'Ontario varietgated seed were sent to Russia, which also secured United States Grimm and Western Canada Grimm for experimental purposes, a delegate announced. "And,” he added, "the Russian Government last year purchased 15,000 bushels of Ontario variegated alfalfa. The purchase was of consid­ erable importance to our business. Speakers during the annual meet­ ing were: Dr. Gordon McRostie of the Ontario Agricultural College; W. E. Nixon, M.L.A., of New Liskeard; W. R. Reek of Ridgetown Experi­ mental Farm: Prof. G. W. Ruhnke and James Laughland of the Ontario Agricultural College, and Elliot Mos­ es of Ohsweken. Potatoes For Seed All growers of seed, whether it be- seed grain, vegetable seed, or any other kind of seed, should endeavour to produce seed of superior quality by starting with the most suitable varieties and strain, and selecting the very best seed for their own planting­ in the production of seed potatoes, there is much room for improvement, and all too frequently bruised, dam­ aged, small off-type, or otherwise in­ ferior left-over potatoes are planted, particularly if prices have been allur­ ing. Actual selection of superior strains of potatoes is apparently not receiving the attention that is so fun­ damental to success and yet the seed potato growers may be producers of really high quality cattle and other live stock, and would not for a mo­ ment think of using the same tactics in their breeding program. Why then, not apply similar care and principles to the production of high quality seed potatoes. The Seed Potato Certification Ser­ vice has been advocating such a sys­ tem for many years with varying suc­ cess. It is true, that diseases have been controlled, or methods for their control practised, but that is not the whole story. An effort should be made by every seed potato grower, through selection, to produce stock, which in addition to being more or less free from serious diseases, is al­ so apparently disease resistant. Good: seed should be true to type, high- yielding, and of good appearance. That is to say, tuber shape, colour of skin and eye characters should all be considered and an effort made to cull any not conforming to a certain set standard of excellence. In other words, seed selection. The tuber unit method of plant­ ing, of which, much has been written, is one big step leading toward such an end and growers would be well advised to practise every means by which the quality of seed may be improved. Regimental headquarters had just been set up and the fussy colonel de­ cided that he must have a flagstaff. "O’Hara,” he told, his orderly, “go out and get me a tall pole—the tall­ est you can find.” Ten minutes later O’Hara re-enter­ ed with a lanky and embarrassed companion. “Colonel,” he explained, "there ain’t a Pole in the outfit over five-foot-eight, but this quy’s a Lith­ uanian, and rzhatever you want him for, I don’t believe nobody will ever rotice the difference.” 1936 (Record Year) Every year more and more are keeping re­ cords of cost of feeds and revenue derived from their Chicks, also records of mortality, and I have greatly benefitted by their efforts, proving you can still buy Chicks that wll lay and pay and the Chicks and Pullets I offer you are from Hens that have laid and paid. The one important 1937 Record for me, is, “The satisfaction still increases with customers’’, while we are under the cloud of high priced feeds and low priced eggs, which is shown by orders al­ ready placed for this season.
