QUICK WORK STOPPED WALKERTON FIRE Bert Williams, Former Winghamite, Did Some Quick Thinking Prompt action by Bert Williams, Walkerton merchant'’ saved the town from fire in the business section.. , While at work in the washroom of his" dry cleaning department, s'ome. gasolene was accidentally upset from a small pail onto the floor and com­ menced to flow toward die stove some feet away. Some of the gasoline ig­ nited and began a blaze across the floor; Mr. Williams hurriedly swept the gas away from the flames, rushed to the phone and called’ the fire de­ partment. He also ran ifro the front of his men’s furnishing store and told some children outside to rush in arm­ fuls of snow. With snow and broom he was enabled to finally put out the fire, but not before much smoke had developed. When the fire brigade arrived Mr. Williams had ithe fire well under con­ trol, Mrs. Jane Good . On Jan. 20th, there passed away in San Diego, California, after a short illness, jane Good, wife of Thomas Good, at one time a resident of Wing­ ham.

It was the seventh anniversary of his eleva­ tion to the chancellery. ‘ His speech, the first formal one he had made since November 8th, when he escaped death by a few minutes in the Munich Beer Hall explosion. He bitterly attacked Chamberlain and Daladier. Good care is without a doubt the cheapest insurance anyone can use in, raising horses, states J. G. Stothart, Division of Animal Husbandry, Cen­ tral Experimental Farm, Ottawa. At­ tention to little matters will often help raise a stronger foal in the spring, and bring the mare through in shape to take her place at work in the short­ est possible time. T.he brood mare should not be used at heavy work or on bad roads. This does not mean she need be laid off work altogether, only light work, very important; when the mare is weather is suitable, she should be al­ lowed to exercis§ in the yard or pad­ dock for a few hours. If at all poss­ ible the^brood mare should be given box-stall accommodation early in the winter. but she should do Regular exercise is therefore) on days not worked and the TBtarwBn ready for use.

Miss Watson is a registered Feeding the brood mare is also, im­ portant. Good condition, even to the point of laying on some extra fat, is ideal provided she is kept well exer­ cised. Good quality hay,, preferably containing some legumes,-and a grain mixture made up of three parts crush­ ed or rolled oats and one part bran, make a good ration. The amount of grain fed depends on the size and con­ dition of the mare, one pound,-of grain for each hundredweight of the animal being a good average. A Saturday' night’bran mash is an excellent regu­ lator for the brood mare and in fact, for all horses. Salt is needed and iodized block salt should be kept be­ fore the mare at all times. ’ . Additional potassium iodide for the prevention of joint-ill in the foal is good for the in-foal mare, but will not replace good care and feeding. The potassium iodide in crystal form can be obtained from any druggist and one-half a teaspoonful may be dissolv­ ed in part of the drinking water or given in the feed once every ten da^s • until foaling. The strength and vigour of the coming foal may depend on care of the brood mare. Give her a little extra attention now and the ef­ fort will give good returns, Angel Custard % 1% % 3 & milk milk Add cup sweetened condensed cups boiling water teaspoon salt egg whites tsp. almond extract Blend sweetened condensed and boiling water thoroughly, salt.- Beat egg whites evry slightly, using a fork.
