In spite of the very disagreeable weather conditions in the morning, the annual school fair held at St Helens on Thursday proved quite successful. Probably owing to the rain, the exhibits in some classes, es pecially the live stock, were not as numerous as usual, but all were of high quality. Six schools’ took part, No. 3, with (Miss Ethel McKenzie, teacher; No., 4, with Miss Sadie Mac- Charles, principal, and Miss Beatrice McQuilliti, assistant; No. 8, of which Mr. Graham .Pinkney is principal, and Miss Henrietta Qttaid assistant; No. 4, with Miss Elleda Hunter teacher; No. 13 of which Miss Lenore Mc Donald is teacher, and No. 12 with Miss Lauretta McBurney tacher.

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 they dorft know it. The result? of an excess of acid may seem just like ordinary stomach trouble *— hut 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! At your drug gist now—but if you’re wise, on yowr bathroom shelf tonight! Mr. On- ad- the other classes.
