An act of sublime courage, surely one
of the most extraordinary in the world's.
history, won a recent Victoria Cross
for a dead Englishman. The official
award of the Cross is this;—"For most
conspicuous bravery. He was in the
act of throwing a grenade when it
slipped from his hand and fell to the
bottom of the trench, close to several
of our officers and men. He immed-
iately shouted out a warning, and him-
self jumped clear and into safety; but,
seeing that the officers and men were
unable to get into cover, and knowing
well that the grenade was due to ex-
plode, he returned without any hesita.
tion and flung himself down on it. He
was instantly killed by the explosion.
His magnificent act of self-sacrifice
undoubtedly saved many lives." This

WATERY MOO Vacuum CI9aQCJ;
How To Get New health and New
Strength at This Season
Spring ailments aro not imaginary.
Even the most robustfind the winter
months most trying to their health.
Confinement indoors,, often in over-
heated and nearly always badly venti-
Laced rooms --in the home, the office,
the shop and the school—taxes the vi-
tality of even the strongest. The blood
becomes thin and watery and is clog-
ged with impurities. Some people
have headaches and a feeling of lan-
gour, Others are • low-spirited and
nervous. Stili others are troubled
with disfiguring pimples and syn
eruptions; while some get up in,Ahe
morning feeling just as tired a hen
they went to bed. These are spring
symptoms that the blood - s out of
order and that a medici is needed
Many people take purge a medicines
in the spring. This ie a serious mis-
take. You ea not c e yourself with
a medicine th t g ops through your
system and 1 a_ you weaker still,
This is all that urgative does. What
you need to give your health and
strength in the spring is a tonic medi-
cine that will enrich the blood and
soothe the jangled nerves. And the
one always reliable tonic and blood
purifier is Dr. Williams' Pink Pills.
These Pills not only banish spring
weakness but guard you against the
more serious ailments that follow, such
as anaemia, nervous debility, indiges-
tion, rheumatism and other diseases
due to bad blood. In proof of this
Mrs. D. E. Hughes, Hazenmore, Sask.,
says: "About a year ago I was badly
run down, my nerves were all un-
strung, and I could not go up stairs
without stopping to rest. As I was a
long ways from a doctor I determined
to take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and in
the course of a few weeks I felt like a
new person. As an all round restora-
tive I can heartily recommend this
medicine."
If you are ailing this spring you can-
not afford, in your own interest, to
overlook so valuable a medicine as Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills. Sold by all medi-
cine dealers or by mail at :50 cents a
box or six poxes for $2 50 from The Dr.
Williams' Medioine Co., Brockville,
Ont,
EAST WAWANOSH.
A quiet but pretty wedding was sol-
emnized at the Methodist Parsonage,
Wingham, on Wednesday afternoon,
March 29th, at four o'clock, when Miss
Annie Pearl Deacon, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Henry Deacon of East Wawa -
nosh, was united in marriage to Mr.
Joseph Alvin Armstrong, son of Mr.
George Armstrong of the 2nd con. of
Morris. The groom was assisted by
Mr. Richard H. Deacon and the brides-
maid was Miss Helen May Deacon,
orother and sister of the bride. Rev.
J. W. Hibbert performed the cere-
mony. The happy couple will make
their home on the groom's fine farm
on the 5th con. of East Wawanosh,
7'he best wishes of a host of friends
are extended to them.
LEGISLATURE NOTES
Another one million dollars will be
set aside to aid in the improvement of
roads.
A Bill will be passed dealing with the
improvement in the quality of Ontario's
dairy products. It will not come into
effect until next year.
Wm. McDonald, Liberal member for
North Bruce, supported by several of
his colleagues, introduced a bill to have
75% of the automobile fees paid over to
the municipalities in which the owners
of the motors live. The Government,
however, defeated the Bill.
A clash occurred between the Prov-
incial Auditor and Sir Adam Beck at
the Public Accounts Committee. The
Auditor claims that there are big dis-
crepancies between the total expendi-
tures between the total expenditures
shown in the Hydro statements and in
the actual vouchers as laid before him.
"The statement," he said "prepared
by the Hydro Commission does not re-
flect in any particular form that I am
aware, the actual expenditures as ap-
peared in the accounts of the Commis-
sion taken from their records.
BI,DLVALR.
The Last meeting of the Literary
Society on March 31, took the form of
a smoker. But this was due more to a
defective stovepipe than a preference
by the members for that form of enter-
tainment. However. the prevelance of
smoke could not altogether cloud the
pleasure of the audience in the excellence
of some of the numbers provided.
Owing to bad weather conditions and
other reasons, none of the speakers, it
nad been hoped to have present, could
appear, so a miscellaneous program
was given, including splendid solos by
Miss Agnes Aitchison. who sang "A
Little Bit of Heaven" and Mr. P. D.
King, who gave "I'm off to Philadelphia
in the Mornin' " and had to respond to
enthusiastic encores. Miss Lillian Mc-
Call recited a sermon in negro dialect,
"The Projical Son" which was very
amusing, and Hugh Sinnamon gave a
description of • the Canadians in the
battle of Ypres, entitled "As Others
See Us." Harold Thomson sang the
popular patriotic song, "Keep the
Home Fires Burning"; Mrs. H. A. Mc-
Call and Miss Lillian McCall played a
piano duet, Rubenstein's "Melody in
F."; Miss M. Duff and Mr. L. S. Winch
gave readings from Walt Mason, and
there were several other numbers. Mr.
L. S. Winch was the chairman of the
evening.
The regular monthly meeting of the
Women's Institute will be held at the
home of Mrs. Tate on April 13th at 2
p. m. The subject for this meeting
''The Stranger Within our Gates,"
by Miss Collie, and "What are you
doing to help your Institute," by Mrs.
J. M. Robb. The members are cord-
ially invited.
The Farmers' Home
Mt. C. E. Lepard has started work on
the remodelling oZ the Exchange Hotel,
which will hereafter be known as the
Farmers' Home. The work will be
rushed along as rapidly as possible.
While the new shed is in course of
erection Mr. Lepard will give standing
room in his stable at 5 . cents for each
horse. The charges for feed will be the
same as in the past.
Hon. Geo. Lengley, Minister of
Municipal Affairs in Saskatchewan, de-
fending himself, was completely
exonerated from the charges of receiving
bribes in connection with hotet licenses,
and undermined the whole structure of
the Bradshaw charges.
