I In presenting them to our readers, we do so with the thought in mind I that every Canadian should be vitally j interested in the solution of the great I problems that confront us, and we ■_ feel that individually we might be 1 better equipped to do our part in bringing about a solution after hav ing perused the letters of these great leaders in the life of our Dominion. The editor will welcome comments s HARD LUMPS CAME ON HER LEGS tf ’MAKING CANADA A BETTER .PLACE IN WHICH TO LIVE AND WORK Last year, publishers of weekly newspapers across Canada ’ honoured George W. James»of The Bowman- ville Statesman with the presidency of the Canadian Weekly Newspaper Association. In keeping with his de sire to give constructive leadership to this organization and to be of service to it as well as Canada as a whole, he wrote to two score of the Domin ion’s leaders in government, religion, education, industry, finance,, and busi ness. In each case he sought their opinions as to Canada’s greatest needs and the manner in which these needs should be met, To each he put just one question: ■"What cap the editors of weekly •newspapers do to make Canada a bet ter place in which to live and work?” The replies of these distinguished gentlemen have been studied since by ihe editorial committee of\the assoc iation, Journalists all over Canada have hailed these answers as a most constructive contribution toward the -solution of many of the country’s ^present day problems. Commencing this issue we are publishing each week one of these letters. We believe that our readers will see in these let ters the tremendous value that others have seen in them. The Canadian ■Printer and Publisher, Toronto, a trade magazine, describes these let ters as ."valuable documents of auth oritative observation.” That, in truth, -is what they are, for they are written ■by men who are leaders in their own particular sphere of activity, success ful men who have risen to the top by the force of their own ability ami per- Ankles and Feet Swollen with Rheumatism Rheumatism sent this woman to bed. with lumps, swellings, and in- Mlammation. Yet these symptoms soon disappeared, as they always will I do when the root cause is removed, I This letter tells you the method she used:— “I was taken ill with terrible rheumatic pains in my legs. They were badly inflamed, swollen, and' they were partly covered with red, hard lumps. To put my foot down to the ground was agony. After I .bad ; been in bed for 16 days, suffering agony all the time, my husband said, ‘You can’t go on suffering like this, let us try Krttschen Salts.’ He got'a bottle, and almost from the first I felt benefit. Before long, I was com pletely relieved’—swellings, inflamma tion, and lumps all gone—and I am ’ up again and doing my housework." —(Mrs.) E.L. Do you realise what causes a good deal of rheumatic pain? Nothing but sharp-edged uric acid crystals which form as the result*of sluggish elimin ating organs.. Kruscheif Salts can al ways be counted upon to clear those painful crystals from the system. No Criminal Charges for Bruce Assizes When Justice Hogg opened the as sizes at Walkerton Tuesday he was handed white gloves signifying the absence of criminal cases. Three civil actions without jury will be heard and as a result of the grand and petit jur ies not being required, the county will be saved $500 in fees and allowances. Kincardine Filed Milk Proposal Kincardine Board of Education will not arrange to have milk supplied to public school pupils. Acting on infor mation from the department of edu cation that arranging such supply is a municipal matter, the board, at its monthly meeting, filed the proposal. Power Failure Caused Hatchery Loss Loss estimated at nearly $1,000 was occasioned to a chicken hatchery at Hanover, when the hydro power fail ed during a -windstorm. Power was off the greater part of the night. A break in the lines was responsible, More than 5,000 eggs on the verge of being hatched were lost as well as many of the 1,300 baby chicks already chirping around the one incubator’ which was chiefly affected. Both re quire a steady temperature. HEALTHY CHILDREN F-' CHILDREN i a /CHILDREN of all ages thrive on “CROWN BRAND” CORN SYRUP.

Hit by Axe, Had Wonderful Escape Three-year-old Sheila Feagan, dau ghter of Mr. and Mrs. Howard Feag an, Colborne Township, lost part of her scalp and some of her curls when struck a glancing blow by a razor sharp axe in the hands of her uncle, engaged lit splitting wood. How the little tot escaped certain death is no thing short of miraculous. Playing in the yard In which her uncle, Dougald Morris, was chopping firewood, the child came from nowhere, unnoticed, under the swinging blow of the axe. The corner of the blade chiseled a two-inch strip of scalp from which curls hung, The gash in one place cut through the bone and exposed the brain. The child was not rendered unconscious, nor ' did she cry very much. -------- . tory bonds, first mortgages on farm Called to Lucknow Church properties and town homes.

The Town Hall Chamber was packed with interested spectators who heard medical evidence to the effect that Harvey’s death could have been av erted had he been given medical at tention in time. The boy came from the Children’s Aicl Society at Picton to the Hayes farm in N\rth Gara- fraxa, where he worked as a farm laborer. When he entered on farm job he weighed 100 pounds, pounds overweight for a lad of age. He weighed 68 pounds at time of his death. The jury found death was due to gangrene, "hasten ed by lack of proper medical atten tion and insufficient nourishment,” It took the jurors only forty minutes to reach their verdict. the ten his the Canada’s Youngest Pilot Frank Vines, 17-year-old Goderich flyer, became the youngest Canadian to hold a private pilot’s license.

CARLISLE MAKING CANADA A Better Place in Which to Live and Work A Series of Letters from Distinguished Canadians on Vital Problems Affecting the Future Welfare of Canada Specially Written for Canadian Weekly Newspapers Association LETTER NO. 1 (Read leading editorial for explana tion of this series of letters.) Dear Sir: I have just received your letter. You are in position to give a great service to Canada. 1 was raised oh a farm and know the constructive work done by the rural weekly papers. I still read them. These publications, being rural, are read to a greater ex tent, for the mimber of copies issued, than any other class of papers. You have asked me for suggestions, and without giving the matter careful thought, the suggestions that come first to my mind are as follows: 1. To encourage the highest regard for government, for law and the en forcement of law. 2. That you urge the elect our different government bodies, men and women of the highest character and whose purpose will be to serve the people of this country unselfishly and to the best of their ability. And on the other hand endeavor to break down political organizations which seek to control .government for a self ish purpose and not for the benefit of the people at large. 3. To encourage people to be self- supporting and to live within their means, and wherever possible, to ac cumulate. I see no reason for the ex trusive dole that seems to exist, not only in our country, but other coun tries. There is as good an opportun ity today to make a living in Canada as there has been any tifne in'the past As a matter of fact, I think present conditions are more favorable. 4. That we secure and maintain an export market. Canada is naturally an export country and our success de pends largely on our efforts along these lines. To build an export market we to compete in quality, price and service. To compete in price we must have competitive costs, therefore, low ’ costs for the basis of our success. 6. That you encourage a better un derstanding between the rural and Urban districts, "Each of these dis tricts are depending on the other. It is only through intelligent planning and close co-operation that we can achieve the best results. 7. That you use your best efforts to eliminate waste, which is ruining Hus country and has put it into ser ious condition through unnecessary debt, The two major sources of waste are the Canadian National Railway and the multiplicity of governments and the unnecessary number of peo ple employed by these governments, - Canada must do a better Job than she has done In the recent past if we are to meet our obligations and to re duce our taxes and get a greater sta bility among our people. Yours very truly, C H. CARLISLE, President, Dominion Bank,
