Ladies Packed Western Bales
Twenty-seven ladies were on hand
at the quilting in the United Church
on Tuesday and quilted six quilts
which were packed on Friday for re
lief in the Canadian West. In all, five
large cartons were sent consisting of
-quilts, wearing apparel and reading
matter;
Oliva Dionne (1) went all the way
down from Callander to New York
city to buy Christmas presents for
his wife, the quints and the six other
little Dionnes. Domesticitj* is the
keynote of this assortment of gifts—
there’s a range and cooking outfit, a
carpet sweeper, a washing machine,
a dinner wagon and a sewing mach
ine. For relaxation, however, there’s
a handsome streamlined car. The
startling photograph (2), which
shows a long freight car looming
high into the air above an overturn
ed locomotive, was taken after the
wreck near Batesville, Mass., where
a train ran into a herd of stray cows.
The fireman was killed and the -en
gineer critically injured, but all pass
engers escaped unhurt. Another crash,
this time from the air, killed the Hin
doo flier, Govind P. Nair (3), iwho
started out from England in his aero
plane, Spirit of India, with the idea
of making a double Atlantic crossing,
north and south. After 150 miles he
crashed to his death, 30 miles from
Dieppe.

THE REASON“ASPIRIN”
WORKS SO FAST
Drop an “Aspirin” tab
let into a tumbler of
water.By the time It hits
the bottom of the glass
it is disintegrating.
This speed of dis
integration enables
“Aspirin” tablets to

All people who suffer occasionally
from headaches ought to know this
way to quick relief.
At the first sign of such pain,
take two “Aspirin” tablets with a
half glass of water. Sometimes if
the pain is unusually severe, one
more tablet is necessary later,
according to directions.
If headaches keep coining back
we advise you to see your own
physician. He will look for the
cause in order to correct it.
