Acid Indigestion, Colds, Headaches, Bilious Attacks, Constipation OFTEN START THIS WAY Some people are what are known as acid-makers. They can’t help it—and often they don’t know it. The results of an excess of acid may seem just like ordinary stomach trouble — but they can’t be put right by ordinary stomach remedies! Excess acid may be the reason why you wake up flat, sour, bleary-eyed, bilious — and the reason why fierce purgatives only leave you in the grip of a weakening habit and the same old symptoms. ’ But there’s one thing that acid can’t face. That’s the neutralizing power of Vange Salts, the alkaline remedy with the natural mineral spa action. A tea- .spoonful in warm water, surges through your system just like the medicinal spring water far away in England ' where Vange Salts come from. Excess acid is neutralized quickly, painlessly. Your blood is purified of poisons. Your sore stomach walls are soothed. And that mass of hard, poisonous waste matter lying in your intestines is softened gently, naturally, and passed out of your body. Then do you feel good! It’s marvellous! But the most marvellous thing is that Vange Salts are only 60 cents a tin I At your drug­ gist now—but if you’re wise, on your bathroom shelf tonight! The W.

Rev. Dr. Hurford, of Seaforth, was the special speaker, taking as his text Psalm 124, verse 1 “If the Lord had not been on our side.” Dr. Hurford explained very convincingly that God does not send wars, trouble and cal­ amities, but He has given man the intellectual power to “make a man of himself,” and God will alSo give him help in all his undertakings, and it is man who brings on himself the evils of sin by following his own desires and selfish ways, whereas we should all be a Christian influence to others.

Potato Crop Report The early Irish Cobbler crop is fairly well cleared ‘and the intermed­ iate crop is moving to market from the central part of the Province. A shortage of moisture during June and July retarded growth of plants and development of tubers with the result that low yields are being harvested. The quality is excellent. The late crop presents a favourable appearance at present. During, the pagt two weeks the rainfall generally has been beneficial and plant growth excellent. The potato bug has been well kept in control by the use of poison appli­ cations but leaf hoppers have done considerable injury to the plants be­ cause bordeaux has not been proper­ ly applied, and some damage to plants is apparent which will reduce the yield at digging time. Growers are advised to dust or spray with bordeaux thor­ oughly for leaf hopper control or dis­ appointing yields will be the result. There is no evidence of late blight at this date but the present weather con­ ditions with a sultry atmosphere and frequent showers, should they con­ tinue, are favourable for its develop­ ment. The preventative measures are timely applications of bordeaux that will cover the plants on the under­ side of the leaves as well as on top. to of Roadside Weeds Farmers and city dwellers alike, News and Information For The Busy Farmer (Furnished by the Ontario Depart- of Agriculture *ment Tomato Crop Ontario weather and The Throughout moisture conditions during the past month have been generally favourable for good, growth. The quality of some products, however, was some­ what lowered by heat and too much rainfall. Tomato worms are particu­ larly numerous this season in East­ ern Ontario. In Southwestern coun­ ties tomato cracking is greater than usual and there has been some scald­ ing of onions. In Middlesex county thrip injury to onions is reported. Otherwise disease and insect pests are being controlled by intensive spraying operations, and not more than the usual amount of damage has occurred. Eastern Ontario Fruit With sufficient rainfall growing conditions have been favourable for the development of the apple crop and fruit is sizing particularly well. Where spraying was done thoroughly scab and insect pests are being kept in check, with the exception of the coding worm moth which will cause considerable loss in a few orchards where a heavy infestation has accumu­ lated from previous years. In the Trenton and Iroquois-Morrisburg dis­ tricts several thousand barrels of ap­ ples were severely damaged by hail. Fall and early varieties are taking on considerable colour, and are up to normal in this respect. Fears are developing well with size average and fruit clean in most orch­ ards, although 'some codling moth in­ jury is showing where regular control measures were not carried out. Plums are a light crop but there is every indication that the quality will be good, early some except on some trees where sprays were not applied and enrcttlio injury is showing. <A If s No Surprise That You’re Constipated! If constipation has you bogged down so you feel tired, sunk, all played out-it’s time you asked yourself some questions!What have you had to eat lately? Just meat, bread, eggs, potatoes? It’s no surprise you’re constipated! The chances are you don't get enough '‘bulk.” And •'bulk'' doesn’t mean a lot of food. It’s a hind of food that isn’t con­sumed in the body, but leaves a soft “bulky” mass in the intes­tines and helps a bowel move­ ment.If this is what you lack, your .ticket is crisp crunchy Kellogg’s All-Bran for breakfast every day. It contains the “bulk” you need plus Nature’s great intestinal tonic, vitamin Bj.Eat All-Bran every day, drink plenty of water, and take a new lease on life! All-Bran is made by Kellogg in London, Ontario. Sola ^by every grocer. will agree that country roads are the- show windows of Ontario farms and are largely responsible for advertising products of the soil. If roads are marred by an unsightly growth of weeds, tourists get a bad impression and urban residents lose faith in rural Ontario as a producer of agricultural products second to none in the world. There are seven good, reasons why I roadside weeds should be wiped out of existence. Thpy (1) infest adjoin­ ing farm lands; (2) spread plant dis­ eases; (3 are dangerous to traffic; (4) will gather and hold snow; (5) clog ditches on roadsides and thus hinder the flow of water and proper drainage of the road bed; (6) are dangerous ■ from a fire standpoint (7) are un­ sightly to residents and tourists alike. The Weed Control Act of Ontario states roadside weeds must be des­ troyed before seeds mature. The. Municipal Council, through its road authority., Is responsible for seeing that this work is done. Proper grad­ ing of roadsides and removal of ston­ es, stumps and brush, will enable the road authority to do this work quick­ ly and efficiently. A thick seeding of a good grass mixture will make a thick sod which prevents weeds from obtaining a foothold. Chemical weed killers have proved efficient and many municipalities have greatly* improved county and township roads in a weed cleanup via the chem­ ical route. Maybe your municipality has help­ ed you out in this manner. If not; why not? Don’t forget the municipality is re­ sponsible for eradication of all nox­ ious weeds within its boundaries.
