The excessive heat throws the little stomach out of order so quickly that unless prompt aid is at band the baby may be beyond all human help before the mother realizes he is ill. Summer is the season when diarrhoea,. cholera infantum. dyaentry and colic are most prevalent. Any one of these troubles may prove deadly if not promptly treated. During the summer the mothers best friend is Baby's Own Tablets. They regulate the bowels. sweeten the stomach and keep baby healthy, The Tablets are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co„ Brockville, Ont.

H. E. ISARD & Co. Two Stores Wingham, Ont 111 Your Weekly Newspaper PERHAPS you haven't been thinking much about it—just taking for granted that $1.00 a year is a right price for The Times year after year, let other things cost what they may. But you are a reasonable being. and so can see that the price of a weekly newspaper should no more remain "fixed" year after year than the price of such common things as beefsteak sugar coal boots wheat eggs potatoes clover seed motor cars lumber horses land C AN you think of any other commodity except newspapers and their ilk, whose price has remained unchanged and unchanging ye.tr after year' Why, then, .should your newspaper's price remain forever the same --the same' for example, as when you could buy a cord of wood for $1.50 a bushel of wheat for 50 cents, - a common fowl for 25 cents - a dozen eggs for 10 cents — a pound of butter for 12 cents a cow for $25 THE war has brought td a crisis a condition of things which has vexed pub- lishers for years; the selling -price of their newspaper. It has sent prices of paper, ink, type and supplies skyward. it is costing us many more dollars a week now to produce The TuutEs than before the outbreak of the�',,war. Where do we get off at?- --in the slang language of today. The answer kis: we must get more for The TIMES. On July 1st the subscription price of T1•le. TIMES was raised to $1.50. You are reasonable, and so we count on you to meet the necessities of the situation cheerfully. 'Thritcents a week for your local newspaper- -it is worth the price, is it not? Less than the price of a "Smoke"
