A CAUSE OF INDIGESTION
People Who Complain of This
Trouble Usually Are Thin
Blended.
Thin blooded people„ usually have
stomach trouble. They seldom recog-
nize the fact that thin blood is the
cause of the trouble, but it is. In fact
thin, impure blood is the most common
cause of stomach trouble; it affects
the digestion very quickly. The glands
that furnish the digestive fluid are
diminished in their activity; the stomach
muscles are weakened, and their is a
loss of nerve force. In this state of
health nothing will more quickly restore
the appetite, the digestion and normal
nutrition than good, rich, red blood.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills act directly on
the blood, making it rich and red, and
enriched blood strengthens weak nerves
stimulates tired muscles and awakens
the normal activity of the glands that
supply the digestive fluids, The first
sign of improving health is an Improved
apetite, and soon the affect of these
blood -making pills is evident through=
out the system: You fin, that what
you eat does not dis ess you and
that you are strong an igorous instead
of irritable and 1 tie::. This is proved
by the case of s. , Harris, Gerrard
St. Toronto, wh' ays: "About three
years ago I was seized with a severe
attack of indigestion and vomiting. My
food seemed to turn sour as soon as I
ate it, and I would turn so deathly sick
that sometimes I would fall on the floor
after vomiting. I tried a lot of home
remedies, but they did not help me.
Then 1 went to a doctor who gave me
some powders, but they seemed actually
to make me worse instead of better.
This went on for nearly two months and
by that time my stomach was in such a
weak state that I could not keep down
a drink of water, and I was wasted to
a skeleton and felt life was not worth
living. 1 was not married at this time
and one Sunday evening on the way to
church with my intended husband 1 was
taken with a bad spell on the street. He
took me to drug store where the clerk
fixed up something to take, and my
intended got me a box of Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills. By the end of the first week
I could feel some improvement from the
use of the pills, and 1 gladly continued
taking them until every symptom of the
trouble was gone, and I was again
enjoying the best of health. These
Pills are now my standby and I tell all
my friends what they did for me."
You can get Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
from any dealer in medicine or by mail
at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50
from the Dr, Williams' Medicine Co.,
Brockville, Ont.
GORRIE.
The death of James Leech, which
occurred at his home here on Sunday
at the ripe age of 89, removes the last
early pioneer of this place. He was
one of ten sons of Richard Leech, of
Lanark, and came here in the winter
of 1855-6, accompanied by some of bis
brothers, and secured mill sites at
Gorrie and Bluevale. As time went
on changes were made and Mr. Leech
engaged in many enterprises with
success. Mr. Leech was always an
enthusiastic worker in the Methodist
church and a liberal supporter. He
was a staunch Conservative in politics
and a devoted member of L. O. L. No
767. Mr. Leech was married three
times, but no family survives him.
His widow was a Miss Spence, of near
Molesworth.
BRUSSELS
A most successful celebration under
the auspices of the Red Cross was held
here on Dominion Day. The weather
was perfect and a bumper of a crowd
turned out to enjoy the day's sports.
The program began at 1.30 with a good
calathumpian procession, headed by the
Seaforth band, after which a baseball
match between Brussels and Ethel was
played. resulting in favour of Brussels
by 12 to 9. The most interesting feat-
ure of the day's program was a ladies'
baseball match between Gorrie and
Jamestown, the former winning by 16
to 12. In the evening a garden party
and promenade concert was held in
Victoria Park, splendid music being
furnished by the Seaforth band. The
net proceeds of the day, amounting to
about $500, goes to the Red Cross
Society.

At the meeting of the Westminster
Guild of Knox Church on Sunday night
an interesting event took place when
Private A, L. Posliff, ex -Principal of

Principal of Bluevale School was pre-
sented with a battallion signet ring by
his fellow members of the Guild,
accompanied by a farewell address.
The presentation was made by Eldon
McKinney while the address was read
by Miss Wilma Shaw as follows:—
Bluevale, July 2, 1916.
Private A. L. Posliff,
161st Battalion.
Dear friend:—
It is with deep regret and yet of
pride that we see you in the King's
service to -night. We regret the need
of it but we are proud to know that
you and so many others of the young
men,of onr free country have heard
the call of duty— the call of liberty
and justice— the call of world free-
dom' and world peace. You have
realized your obligation to do your part
and in the spirit:of self-sacrifice and
patriotic devotion have offered your-
selves togo up against the mustering
battalions of Despotism to fight. "the
agelong battle which, once begun,
must be carried on from son to son."
You have heard the Macedonian
cry of Belgium and Serbia and Ar-
menia but the tree life of Canada
itself is also involved in, the struggle,
Bleeding Belgium is the voice which
warns us what our fate will be if we
fail. The liberties of our race are the
stake for which we fight.
We know you will be as brave and
courageous as the other Canadians
who have gone before you and that
you will do your duty well. Our best
wishes will follow you, you will be
often in our thoughts and our prayers
will be for your welfare and safe
return when the war is over.
Your fellow members in the West-
minster Guild wish to show their
appreciation by presenting you with
a ring bearing the number and name
of your battalion, hoping that in the
days to Dome it may recall the
pleasant times we have spent to-
gether.
Signed on behalf of the West-
minster Guild:
M. Or.Ivrs SCOTT, President
M. But'ir, Secretary.
Mr. Posliff made an appropriate reply
referring to his unique association with
the Westminster Guild and other organ-
izations in Bluevale which had been
continued so long after he had ceased
to be a resident of the village and
asked for the kindly thoughts and
remembrance of all for the soldier boys
when they should be far away on their
mission of loyalty and patriotism. Rev.
Crawford Tate followed with a warm
and inspiring address, voicing the
regret mingled with pride which is felt
by all at such moments of parting and
the determination that the boys who
are going to represent us at the battle
front shall not be forgotten or unhonor-
ed by those who are Left at home. He
was cheered by the observation that
all around us our common life had been
raised to a higher level by the sacrifice
and devotion which had been called
forth in the nation and he added a few
sincere words of approbation for Mr.
Posliff's personal qualities which he
had had an excellent chance of observ-
ing during the past few years. During
the meeting it was suggested that n
Roll of Honor should be made for each
of the churches to record the names of
the young men from this community
who have beard their country's call
and it was hoped that the Literary
Society might find it possibly to take
the overstght of this work.
It is never ,economy to buy cheap
eggs or meat, Only the best is good
food,

Toronto july 3— A heavy run of cattle
offering for to -day's market apparently
decided buyers to make an attack on
last week's high prices for chaise heavy
steers. The result was an almost com-
plete deadlock between buyers and
sellers, and for some hours trade was
at a standstill sq far as the heavy stuff
was concerned, and the whole market
was slow. There was a fair demand
for choice light butcher cattle, and
prices for this class held about steady.
Although up to midday very few, if any
of the heavy steers had been sold, it
was generally conceded that the market
would go off from 20e to 25c below last
week's average,
Cows and common grass cattle still
run at easier prices.
A light run of sheep and lambs firmed
up the market in this section, Iambs
going up 25e to 5oc. and light sheep 15c
to 25e, Heavy sheep are dull.
Calves firm,
Hogs, light run and prices steady at
last week's figures.

When Pigs Were Cheap
IN your grandfather's day ---ask him about
it ---you could buy a dressed hog for three
dollars., a nice big pig. And a live pig would
cost you no more.
Everything in those bygone days wti•as cheap that is the things of
common use.
Clothes, boots, milk, bread, beefsteak, eggs, Nutter, lun;hcr, farm
labor, domestic servants they all cost a good deal les than 1
do today.
It cost less to live --and less to he born and less to d e 1'fry years
ago than today.
And it cost much less to publish a country weekly !ifty yr ;rs ago
than it does today very much less.
Vet you paid or your grandfather did just a dollar i -.:r the
same as you Were paying up to July 1st.
But the dollar rate must yield to the pressure of ncces-ity. We
must do noir• What ire ought to have done years ago raise the
price of the Ti cis to w1.50. The tremendously int rcased c,',ts rf
paper, ink, supplies, and the more -than -doubled cost of in:: have
made us "furiously to thing." And so, on and after easy lit the
price of the Tints is 81.50 a year.
Good Readers All
If you were in our place, and knew all w
costs of publishing, you would won
advance long ago. We trust

BUT IT IS OL.'
