USED TO WAKE UP
WITH A HEADACHE
Now Fresh and Lively Every
Morning
Here is a man who woke up every
morning with a dull headache. Then
Kruschen transformed his days. Read
his letterj—
“I used to wake up in the mornings
with a dull headache. A year ago I
started taking Kruschen Salts regu
larly. To-day, I wake up fresh and
lively and can do my day’s work
without any exertion. I can recom
mend Krusphen for anyone suffering
from headaches and constipation, and
for putting new life into you. I in
tend to continue with Kruschen for
the rest of my life.”—E.P.
Headaches can nearly always be
traced to a disordered stomach, and
to the unsuspected retention in the
system of stagnating waste material
which poisons the blood. Remove
these poisons—prevent, them from
forming again—and you'll never have
to worry any more. And that is just
how Kruschen Salts brings quick and
lasting relief from headaches.

OFFICIALS TO
DISCUSS BETTER
WEED CONTROL
Special Invitation issued to farmers
to attend meeting sponsored by the
Ontario Department of Agriculture-—
Ontario Crop Losses due to weeds
last year estimated at $18,000,000.
Members of municipal councils,
road officials, weed inspectors and all
interested farmers are invited to at
tend a meeting in the Ont. Dept, of
Agriculture Office, Clinton, on Wed
nesday, May 18th, at 10 a.m., to dis
cuss ways and means of best battling
the weed menace in Ontario which
last year cost the farmers of this Pro
vince at least $18,000,000.
The Ontario Department of Agri
culture proposes to make a concen
trated drive on weeds this year and
will perfect organization in this and
every county, in an effort to mater
ially lessen these terrific losses.
Officials of the Crops, Seeds and
Weeds. Branch,' Ont. Department of
Agriculture, will explain the provis
ions of the Weed Control Act and
point out the duties of weed inspec
tors. Noxious weeds and their con
trol will receive special attention, as
will eradication of weeds by chem
icals.
Officials are anxious to have every
farmer possible attend this meeting
and are issuing a special invitation to
every farmer in this county to be pre
sent.
anyhow, and my talking certainly is
not going to prevent the change. It’s
far easier to climb on the band-wag
on, than it is to try and hold it from
moving on,
Tom Smith’s father started that
shop a good many years ago, I can
remember what a treat it was to ’get
going to town with my father. One
of his regular places of call was at
the blacksmith shop. It was always
bright and dusty out in front of the
shop where tramping horses made it
impossible for any vegetation to sur
vive.
Once you stepped over the thres
hold into the shop, everything be
came dusky (and dark. There was al
ways a row of horses standing bn
each side it seemed, and over all
there was that most peculiar odor of
scraped hoof . , . and the smell of a
fire . , , and heating metal. Ip neat
tiers above you, would be rows and
rows of horseshoes, and empty kegs
that had been thrown upwout of the
way,
To the back of the shop there was;
the forge, and as you stepped back
towards tfee rear there would be a
surren roar as the smith began to give
the bellows to his fire. Then a sud
den cascade of sparks would go shoot
ing up, like a miniature 1st of July
celebration;
There were always men around the
shop, most of 'them farmers in wait
ing for their horses to be shod, .Some
of them were cattle-buyers, and a
great many of-the older retired farm
ers from, around the village.
The greatest thrill of all was when
the smith would draw a heated iron L
from the fire, and then .place it on i
the anvil and start to hammer. That j
hammer would just seem to float!
through the air and there would be |
a spurt of sparks as the sound would
ring out to fill the little shop up to
breaking point with the noise,
Another fascinating things was to
see the smith grab a red-hot iron and
plunge it into that big tub of water
that was just outside the back door.
Splinge! Sissi Or to see him setting
a buggy tire or a wagon tire,
That back yard of his’was a great
place to ramble around too. There
was always a great pile of scrap metal
of all kinds, with every possible form
of contorted image. With the average
small boy’s imagination, it was quite
easy to imagine .all sorts of wild
things.
• Perhaps the finest time of all, was
to be allowed to go to the blacksmith
shop on a rainy afternoon. The nat
ural darkness of overcast skies would
make a perfect setting for the display
of sparks. The odour was even
stronger than on other days. There
was always a convenient place to slip

in, and watch and listen.
Oh, yes! The listening was also an
attraction. I heard of many strange
things while crouched down behind a.
wagon wheel, and when I was sup
posed to be interested in watching the-
smith’s helper with the ^horse’s hoof*
between his apron clad knees, driving:
in the nails. My father would get in
terested in the conversation, and then;
suddenly remembering me, would say
“Time we went home. This ain’t no
fitten place for a boy. Don’t go tell
ing your mother everything you heard
around here."
But times do change!
Months will go by before Robert
Buller and Mark Riehclsen sec the

Free to Recognize Conquest
of Ethiopia
* In a three-hour secret session of
the League of Nations Council at
Geneva, Great Britain and France,
despite opposition of Soviet Russia,
won assurances they would be freed
of the obligations not to recognize
Italy’s conquest of Ethiopia. Italy
annexed Ethiopia two years ago after
a war for which the league condemn
ed her as an aggressor and 52 nations
applied financial and economic pen
alties from October 31, 1935, to July
15, 1936. Delegates from New Zea
land, China and Bolivia, according to
word from the council room, joined
Maxim Litvinoff, the Soviet commis
sar, in declining at the session to back
the Franco-British proposal but other
members of the council agreed.

HERE ARE THE PERFORMANCE FACTS:
The exclusive Chevrolet Six Valve-in-
Head engine develops its full 85 horse
power—-without extra, gasoline-hungry
cylinders! Recent road tests have again
demonstrated this Valve-in-Head super
iority. In these tests,* the 1938 Chev
rolet out-performed the other cars in its
class with faster hill-climbing—and
faster acceleration through every speed
range.
AND HERE ARE THE ECONOMY FACTS:
‘ Owners report getting as high as 25 and
27 miles to the gallon of gas, consistently.
They’re unanimous in saying that the
new Chevrolet saves them money- on oil.
And, as many point out, Chevrolet costs
less than any other car for upkeep.
BUT JUDGE FOR YOURSELF. Come to
our showrooms, take the wheel, and let
your own driving reactions tell you*
“It’s wise to choose the Chevrolet SIX
for power plus economy/'
*FoWr dealer will gladly show you the actual
results of the tests. Ask hint.
