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.

Posliff, ex -Principal of Wingham Public School and formerly 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, P.,,ge 5 Official announcement was made that the Duke of Conpaught will he suceedd ep as Governor General of Canada by the Duke of Devonshire.

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.

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.
