S E NEWS of the DISTRICT Goderich Couple 60 Years Married Active and cheery, seemingly £0 years younger than their 81 and 75 years respectively, indicate, Mr. and .Mrs. Elijah Drinkwaiter on Saturday observed the 60th anniversary of their marriage. Not only are this couple “hale and hearty," but they are making the most of every day, enjoy­ ing life with a broad outlook and a keen sense of humor to offset worries of this modern world. the Trap Door Fatal to Farmer Joseph Black, 65, Huron Township farmer, was fatally injured shortly before noon Thursday last when he fell through a trap door of a neigh­ bor’s barn, fracturing his skull. Black was assisting in the cleaning of seed grain on the farm of John Colling. He fell about 12 feet to a cement floor. It was not determined what caused him to apparently lose his bal­ ance while working near the trap. Medical aid was summoned but Black died while being removed to an am­ bulance. rar­ nest two one sur- and The soft Lays Twin Eggs A goose on the farm of Mr. Wil­ fred Coleman, Tuckersmith, produced what appears to be an 'Unusual iety of double yoke egg. In the Saturday morning were found eggs each partially flattened at end and when placed with the flat faces together formed the shape size of an ordinary goose egg. centre of the flat surfaces had shell and a membrane through which could be seen the yolk in each egg. The larger egg formed three-quarters of a perfect egg and the smaller one was shaped as the remaining quarter. The goose credited with this curiosity had been keeping to the customary schedule for geese laying’ every sec­ ond day but every egg was a double yoke which is ’not suitable for a hatching egg. Saturday’s production appeared an attempt to remedy this situation. A goose usually lays a set- ing of 12 or 13 eggs. If no goslings hatch from the first setting it is re­ lated that on occasion a second set­ ting will be produced. — Seaforth News. Resigns On Account of Ill Health Rev. R. W.

Now 63, she tells how Kruschen restored her to health, and has kept her free from rheumatism all these years:— “In 1918, an attack of 'flu’ left me with severe rheumatism, and I was in bed three months. When I got up I could only hobble around with diff­ iculty and pain. My finger joints were beginning to swell, and were very painful. I was told that nothing could be done for the swelling. A friends recommended me to try Kruschen Salts, which I did with very satisfactory results. To-day, at 63, my fingers are perfectly straight, I am free from rheumatism, and can do all my own housework.”—-(Mrs.) M.W. Two of the ingredients of Kruschen have the power of dissolving the needle-pointed crystals of uric acid which settle in your joints, causing them to swell, ache and inflame? Other ingredients of Kruschen assist Nature to flush out these dissolved crystals through the natural channels. four young men, Ted Morrice, Frank Hulme, Jack Cordick and Norman Talkingham, turned from the main street, Garafraxa, onto South street to cross to Queen, where Huhne's home is located.

MAN since he cTOtNED THE "REGULARS w ings, and so you have to bundle ev­ erything up and move it out of that room, into the next one. It’s strange but every woman, even, if she only has a two-room shack with a few sticks of furniture, has to go through two spells of house­ cleaning . . . Spring and Fall. There’s a smell of polish and varnish, and coal-oil, and it even gets into the food. Your wife goes around with a perpetual worried look on her face, and it’s about the most trying time possible for the men folks of a family. Just like yesterday! Mrs. Phil lias Some sort of a cloth, tied over her hair, with an old pair of stockings on her arms and hands to keep the dust away. She’s all business, and no mat­ ter what type of flattery I used all during the year it just didn’t seem, to work then. She’s so busy tugging at rugs and mats and ’hauling them out to beat that she will scarcely talk. Curtains are hauled down, and there’s quilts and sheets and pictures all piled up on the kitchen floor. Every time you try to sneak into an easy chatr, she has a job for you. There’s hot water on the stove all the time, to scrub with, and the smell of dust seems to get clogged up in your nostrils. Mattresses get rolled up and you sort of half trot and half let the mattress pull you along as you ease down the front steps with I one all rolled up in your arms. You j is all cleaned up again and you feel try to make the ends of a bed and the springs stand up against the near­ est wall and after trying to coax them for half an hour, and when they fin­ ally do stand up, you discover that they have to be moved out in the hall­ way until that floor is scrubbed. Then there’s woodwork to be wash­ ed. If there is anything as tiresome as rubbing away at the woodwork with a little rag and watching water get dirty and only a little patch of the woodwork get clean then I would like to know what it is. But, of course, there is beating rugs. First of all you ’try the broom. ■^Vhamm . . . and. a cloud of dust comes streaming back into your face. Then you try it from the other side and discover that it doesn’t seem ,to make much difference. The rug seems to be made of India rubber and like trying to drag a hand Sleigh er gummy mud. Then you try axe or a stick or whatever you find, but it doesn’t make much differ­ ence. You stop then to sneak a few drags at the pipe and looking across the fields you can see that the neighbours have thetr rugs out on the line and there is your neighbour whamming away at the rags. The upstairs window opens and the wife yells: “You keep on at those rugs or we’ll never get done.” But it will be nice when everything something like the Irishman on the gallows, who said, in a rather phil­ osophical way: “Well, it’s going to be nice in heaven.’’ By Harry. J. Boyle “HOUSECLEANING” It seems that my annual Spring twinge of rheumatism always man­ ages to come at the wrong time, and leave in just the same way. Yester­ day, when I got up, the warm sun was streaming in through that east window and I did a few fancy steps just to show off how well I was, and to prove that the shooting pains had all disappeared. “That’s fine," Mrs. Phil piped up, from where she was doing up her hair "I’m glad you’re feeling so good Phil, because I' want you to help me with the housecleaning.’’ There was nothing I could do about it then, such as, feeling a lot of pain, and so I had to go ahead and help her with the housedeaning. All that furniture has to be moved around and shunted back and forth like they do with those empty cars at the station down in the village. First of all it starts with the front room. All the great gilt-edged fram­ ed pictures of the ancestors at Lazy Meadows sort of frown down at you when you start to move everything. But this is no time to consider feel- i FRIENDS SAY SHE’S LUCKY Note Tossed Out in Mid-Ocean Reaches Destination- A note, sealed in a bottle thrown overboard in mid-Atlantic on October 20 last reached Kincardine this week.
