The lack of sufficient rich, red blood
does not end merely in a pale com-
plexion. It is much more serious.
Bloodless people are tired, languid, run-
down folk who do not enjoy life, Food
does not nourish; there's indigestion,
heart palpitation, headache, backache,
and nearly always nervousness. If
this bloodlessness is neglected too long,
a decline is sure to follow. Just a little
more rich, red blood cures all these
troubles. Then you have new health,
new vitality and pleasure in life. To
get more rich, red blood the remedy is
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. No other
medicine increases and enriches the
blood so quickly or so surely. This is
not a mere claim. Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills have done this over and over
again throughout, while thousands ofr
people always have a good word to.eiiy
for this medicine. Miss Gertrude
Haffner, Kingston, Ont., says' "About
two years ago I was sufferifig greatly
with anaemia, so,tnuch,so that I had to
give up my situation': I became so
weak that I could scarcely walk without
help. I had no ambition, no color, no
appetite, and was constantly troubled
with headaches and dizzy spells. I was
taking medicine from the doctor, but it
did not do me a particle of good. One
day a friend asked me if I had tried Dr,
Williams' Pink Pills. Though as the re-
sult of my condition I was greatly dis-
couraged, I began the use of the Pills,
and thanks to that good friend's advice,
after using a few boxes I began to feel
much better. Under the continued use
of the pills I gained in weight. my color
came back and I grew gradually strong-
er. I looked so much better that people
would ask me what I was taking and I
had no hesitation in giving the credit to
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I am so
grateful for what this medicine has
done for me that I will do all I can to
extend its use."
You can get these pills from any
medicine dealer or by mail at 50 cents a
box or six boxes for $2.50 from The
Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville,
Ont.

An inquest was held Saturday at the
Huron House of Refuge to inquire into
the cause of the death of the inmate by
the name of Wetherall. Dr. C. W.
Thompson was the coroner in charge,
and Crown Attorney Seager represent-
ed the crown. Several eyewitnesses
gave evidence, also the superintendent
and matron, while Drs. Gandier and
Shaw reported the result of the post-
mortem. The following verdict was
given by the jury: "That we, the jury
empaneled to inquire into the death of
the late John Wetherell, find that the
death was caused by a faulty condition
of the heart and heart nerves, aggra-
vated by having taken part in an as-
sault on a fellow -inmate, and no blame
attaches to either the inmates or the
officials of the house of refuge."

The acreages estimated, as sown to
other crops, are as follows.

It was a hot weather market to -day,
the attitude of the big packers' rep-
resentatives reflecting that of the
general public towards meat buying
during these mid -summer days. No
one, in fact, seemed to be wanting
the butcher cattle to -day, and buy-
ers and sellers hung listlessly around,
apparently awaiting developments. By
the noon hour very little business had
been transacted, and the question was
not how much higher, but how much
lower is the market going before the
packers decide to turn in and clear
out the pens filled with tired and
thirsty -looking cattle. Fat butcher
cows seemed to be the only thing in
the butchers' line in demand, and
these were selling freely at about last
week's prices. Among the steers and
heifers a further decline of from 25c
to 35c seemed probable.
Lambs were again easier.
Hogs were steady at last Thursday's
quotations. 1

More Deaths in Ontario.
There were 2,200 more deaths in
Ontario last year than in the preceeding
year, according to the provincial vitbl
statistics for 1915, the compiling of
which has just been completed. The
total in deaths for 1911 was 32,4.10, while
in 1015 the total was 33,700. The re-
turns show that organic heart disease
and cancer are on the increase, while
deaths from tuberculosis are less than
in previous years.

The bank barn on the farm of Edward
Ward, 6th line, and tenanted by Wm,
Davidson, was discovered on fire Wed-
nesday of last week and was soon de-
stroyed. Mr. Dai idson was working at
his root crop in one of the back fields
and Mrs. Davidson was at a neighbor's
when the fire commenced. Nothing
was left of the building excepting the
stone stapling. Mr. Davidson lost all
his implements, etc., exceptinga buggy,
wagon and cultivator. Barn was in-
sured in the Formosa Insurance Com-
pany and Mr. Davidson had $700 on
contents in the Ilowick Mutual. Mr.
Ward is in the West at present. It is
a bad time to lose a barn now, but
better than a few weeks later as far as
the destruction of the crop is concerned.
We did not learn as to what will be
done about rebuilding. Cause of :ue
fire is unknown.

The Chea:est Thing in
the Modern world
The publisher of an important Canadian
daily newspaper has said in his news-
paper this:
T1 -IE newspaper is about the cheapest thing in the modern world
for its value. if nothing else were considered save the useful_
ness of the advertisements and the market prices, to the
average home, a dollar spent in newspapers must mean the saving of
many dollars in a home.
IT is not necessary to argue the value to you of your home
newspaper. But we ask this of you: isn't three cents a week
little enough for The Times, delivered to your home post
office, and which gathers together for you all the news of this com-
munity? No city daily can do what The Times is doing for and in
this county and neighborhood It does not give you •;.ith desired
fulness the news of «'inghaln District. It does not tell you what
local merchants have to offer you. Local news and happcn::ti ,s are
told only sufficiently in a local newspaper.
The price of The Times was raised to $l.5'on July 1st. This increase
of 50 cents a year was made necessary by rising costs in every
direction --paper, ink, type, wages, cost of living and other things.
HAT we are concerned about is that you value yo'.ir weLkly
newspaper to continue as 0 subscriber at th.: lligh.'r rate
Three brown coppers a week! You cannot say that you
cannot afford thcrl. They are the price of 0 i`cstage stamp. half
the price o: a 'smoke', the money you would ,,„ivy 0 chit , to buy
candy with, the price of a pair of laces.
Be loyal to your 16 '
