YOU CAEtGET RID Of DYSPEPSIA by Taking the Fruit Treatment In the Farm of "Fruit -a -tines" You can get rid of the pain; the heavy, uncomfortable feeling; the bilious attacks, headaches and consti- pation that accompany this trouble. The Fruit Treatment—which is the intensified. juices of apples, oranges, figs and prunes combined with tonics --will always relieve Dyspepsia. Mrs. Thomas Evans, Everett, Ont., says: "I have been troubled for years with Dyspepsia, Liver and Kidney Disease from which it was impossible to` get relief until I took "Fruit-a- tives". Thanks to their wonderful results, I am free of these ailments and am in normal health again". This is the kind of proof that convinces.

As we intimated in last week's paper every available hour., apart from the general itinerary, was tak- en advantage of by the members of the Press party to see in small groups the various sights of the great city of London, or as many as we could crowd into the few days we spent there. Tuesday morning, Dominion Day, ,July- 1st, .was free. for sight-seeing. The Tower of Landon Nobody wanted to miss the : tower of which we have heard so much in history and story. It is so-called from the oldest portion, the White Tower, a castle built by William ,the Conqueror, round which two lines of fortifications and a moat were subsequently added. Visitors enter under the charge of a warder, and pass through the Middle Tower across the moat which is dry and converted into a drill ground, ,and through the Byward Tower into the Outer Ward between the two lines of fortifications. On the left is the Bell Tower, dating from the period of Richard I, the King's House, the Bloody Tower and the Wakefield Tower. On the right is St. Thomas Tower built by Henry III and be- neath it the arch with the water gateway called Traitor's Gate. Thru an opening in the wall we reach the Inner Ward. In. the centre of the Ward is the White Tower, 90 feet high, 116x117 feet and the walls are 11 to 15 ft. thick. The White Tower contains the National collec- tion of arms and armour, the cloak in which General Wolfe died at Quebec, the gun carriage used at King Edward's funeral, Lord Kit- chener's appeal forrecruits, many and varied ,instruments of torture, every kind of small firearm, swords, body armour for man and horse. Tower Green is in the south west corner of the Inner Ward. An en- closure marks the site of the scaf- fold erected for the execution of the Countess of Salisbury, Anne Boleyn, Catherine Howard, Lady Jane Grey and the Earl of Essex, On the west in Beauchamp Tower dating from the 13th century; the walls of, one room particularly are covered with carvings and inscrip- tions made by prisoners in the 16th century. To the south is the King's House where Anne Boleyn spent her last night and where Guy Fawkes was tried. Eastward is the Bloody Tower, built in the 1 4th century. Here the young Princes, Edward V and . his brother were murdered in 1483; Sir, Walter Raleigh was imprisoned for' 12 years, and a gallery is known as Raleigh's Walk. Other famous pris- oners .were Bishops Cranmer, Ridley and Latimer; Archibishop Laud and Judge Jeffery. Wakefield Tower is known as the. Jewel House, built, by Henry III where are shown the crown jewels, including the Crown of England, made for Charles II, the crown for Queen Victoria's coronation contain- ing nearly 3000 diamonds, the Im- perial state crown of King George V, containing over 6000 diamonds, Queen Mary's state crown, contain- ing the famotis Koh-i-noor diamond of the late Queen Victoria, the Roy- al Sceptre, etc. • The warder or guide who takes you through the tower is a veritable mine of information and as you pro- ceed he gives a running talk on the various features, which is most in- structive and interesting to the vis- itor,and a small tip here and there keeps up the flow of talk for sev- eral hours. Old Curiosity Shop One must not miss a few moments in Old Curiosity Shop, off Fleet ,St. behind the law courts. It is but a wee room or two in an ancient building, now used as a 'post card anti souvenir shop, hut the assoc- iations which the great writer, Dick- ens built around this old spot makes it very interesting. The visitor in- variably buys a few things n mem- ory of the Visit A.card in the win- dow says the building will be -torn down in December. . Cheshire Cheese Among the odd little eating houses of fame, the haunts , of the wits of olden days, is Cheshire Cheese, up a. narrow alley .off" Fleet St. Here Dr. Johnston. and his friends made revel, and where still one may enjoy a famous ' pudding, containing steak, Mark, kidniey, mushroom, oyster and spices. The original date of the building is some centuries prior to 1667 when it was rebuilt, In ,.this neighborhood, too, is the "Olde Cock" which is also famed as an old haunt of "the Doc- tor." , Changing the Gamed' The changing of the foot guard at St. James palace, 'or at Bucking- ham Palace, when the King is , in residence in London, and the horse guard at Whitehall are old time ceremonies one must not miss. We stood -in a great crowd from 10:30 to 11,30 one morning to see this in- teresting ceremony in the forecourt of Buckingham Palace, Headed by a band and the drums and fifes, the relieving guard enters to the strains df a slow march, and with the colors raised ' aloft; salutes " are exchanged with the old guard, and the hand plays, 'while the . sentries are being relieved. Atthe. close. the •colors '_of the relieved guard are played back to hayracks. The brilliant ;;militagy dress and the preciseness of the manoeuvres of the soldiers, both BARN BURNED IN BIDDULPH. The barns and the entire seastin;y uuthreshe,1 crops,, the property of Anthony Heenan ori the 8th co,nces- sio:n o lBiddulph were, completely des- troyed by fire at 7 o'clock Sunday 'evening. The origin of the blaze. is a mystery, although at the time a rather severe electrical storm was 'breaking over the district. TILLED NEAR GODERICH Gbelerich, Sept .1,--A' fatal accident Ihappencd this afternoon at Taylor's Corners, about five miles from, here on the Strat£rod-Goderich Idigftwa.y.

The -Embanloneuts The Hotel 'Cecil, the headquarters of the Press partY?rn ;London, being ua a on the nkments situate famous S emb a of the River Thanes, we saw con- siderable of the embankments and•' we cannot pass by without giving it some mention. The Thames ezn- bankments form'. a continuous riv- erside drive extending from,. the western extremity of Thames street to Chelsea, a distance of four mules, and has various names— Victoria, Millbank, Grosvenop Road,e Albert and Chelsea. All along . the drive are beautiful flower gardens,. lawns and parks, and great masses of people congregate in the afternoons and evenings to enjoy the pleasant walks, the flowers.: and the music from many bands. Victoria Embankment lies at the side of the Cecil, and extends be- tween Blackfriars and the Houses of Parliament. It was opened in 1870 and is fringed by pleasant gardens and notable buildings, such as the City of • London school, the Temple, Somerset House, the Savoy Hotel, Hotel Cecil, Adeiphi Terrace, White- hall Courts, National Liberal club,,. and New Scotland 'Yard. Along its length of one mile are many monu- ments, chief among them being the Obelisk, 'called Cleopatra's Needle, now pitted with •-the marks of bombs dropped during the air' raids on London, and the Memorial of Bel- giuni's gratitude, The Bridges Across the eleven miles of tide- way of the Thames between Upper Pool and Hammersmith are four- teen large bridges for general traf- fic. Chief among them in Central London are, Tower, London, South- wark, Blackfriars, Waterloo and Westminister. Tower,is a suspension bridge near the Tower of London and its bas- cules can be raised and- lowered in one minute. London Bridge is a fine structure, but at the present times is fulfilling the prophecy in the old rhyme "London Bridge is falling down", as one of the centre spans has sunk several inches, and the bridge is closed to traffic. We saw workmen, as we passed under it, trying to force the span back in- to position„ but it is feared that it will all have to be replaced. Wat- erloo is the finest and oldest of the bridges and was opened' on the se- cond Anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo, June 18, 1817. It is 1240 feet long but only 27i/z feet wide. The Shops. As in Brussels and Paris, so in .London, the women want to spend a few hours in the shops. They 'do • not call them stores. In a city thir- ty, miles square there are, of course, shops all over the place, and of every conceivable kind. But the real shop- ping paradise of the city is in what, is called the West End—that is, the west end of centre London—Oxford Regent and Bond streets. The shops are beautiful, although not as large as departmental stores in some cities but more money is spent here than in any other quarter of the globe. The treasures of the world find their way here, are admired, sold and re- turn to all the corners of the earth. Regent is a street of fair clothes, furs and' jewels—Swan & Edgars, Liberty's, Paris -Galerie, Dickens & Jones and Jays. Oxford has im- mense stores—Selfridges; Marshall & Snelgrove's, John Lewis', • Peter Robinson's. Bond street has jewels for the over rich; tapestries almost beyond price. Then not far away is H:arrod's, Barker's and Whitley's. Given all the money she wants a wo- man could go on forever buying' glad rags and, sparklers in this dist- rict. The National Gallery Although less than 100 years old the National Gallery has a collection of pictures thatcannot be surpassed in the world. All the leading schools of painters are here represented. There is no need to name thein or to attempt to describe the pictures, while the ifrst might be done it is utterly impossible to do the latter. Suffice it to :say that onecould spend many days within its wallsand still be in ignoraz3ce of many of the valu- able pictures contained .in the thirty six rooms or galleries. Of course there are•scores of oth- er art galleries in London,—in fact the great public halls, the greitiv resi- dences, in town and country have so many beautiful pictures that they may all be described as art galleries, hundreds on hundreds of them. Transport There is no trouble to get about in London. You can go by motorbus, tramway,` underground, trunle line or fly, overhead, All you need is the price and not much of, that. And if you lose your way any policeman on any corner 'can tell you how to get anywhere in the shortest possi- ble time. You cannot stick a police- man on anything', and he tells you so nicely to. The double -deck busses are lots of fun, the under- ground is a real experience and a dandy way to 'make a shortcut a- cross the city—and so easy once you $e4 on the right line. You need no timetable; .because the trains are so frequent on the underground" There are 'aver,15.0 routes that the bus lines travel over and it is a most . con- plete system. ..A frequent:service is maintained on all routes and there is never any reason, for a lengthy Wait" The 'variotis;h rvices .are dis- tingutsited by',route' numbers; and on "the front andrear of each motor bus are boards bearing the destine; tion and the names of the main e Breed Tells! ©© ND nowhere does it tellmore than 4' in Live Stock.• j ET us know what you would like to do for the improvement of your stock, and we shallbe glad to go into the whole question of financing the plan with you. se THE CANADIAN BANK OF COMMERCE Capital Paid UpRZ000 eserrve Fund $20,000,000 Exeter Branch - - , - M.

There are no tickets or transfers on the trams. You can- go so far for a penny and for long distances it runs up to six pence. Then, if in doubt, grab a taxi, He'll get you there, but your change vanishes quicker — and remember the driver looks for a tip over and above the usual fare. Madame Tussaud's Madame Tussaud's Waxworks was missed by few of the press par ty. Commenced first in England in 1802, it was on tour for about 30 years and finally settled permanent- ly on Baker St. in 1833. About two hours are needed to view the many figures in wax work, and to say the least, they are very realistic. One is tempted at times to speak to the wax policemen here and there, or to shake hands with "the kings and queens, or enquire for informa- tion from the lady secretaries in various corners. . A great many of the notable people of the world, par- ticularly during the last century, kings, queens, nobles, statesmen, sportsmen, poets, authors, preachers editors, generale, explorerers,nurses etc., are shown. Some dead, some still living. It is very interesting to try to name them without refer- ence to the catalogue. One room is devoted to pictures and relics, while another is called the Chamber of Horrors, and another has tableaux of historical scenes. To be appre- ciated' it must be seen. The Theatres The Hotel Cecil is almost in the centre of the theatre and music hall district, while cinemas are scatter- ed all over the city by the hundreds. A few minutes walk will bring one to almost anyone of fifty places of this nature, but in the busy sea- son it is a more difficult ,matterto obtain seats. Sometimes one lied to telephone a half dozen places be- fore seats could be secured. How- ever, the most of the party spent. the few evenings we had free in visiting some of the_ more impor- tant theatres. Any kind of a pro- duction may be • seen or heard -- from from grand opera to vaudeville . Covent Garden, Drury Lane,the Ly- ceuni, Gaiety, ^ Daly's the Winter Gardens, His Majesty's, The ,Coli- seum, the Palladium, The Alhambra Victoria Palace, Albert Hall and Queen's Hall are among the impor- tant nearby theatres, music and con- cert halls. Parks and Gardens Contrary to the general opinion London is not all streets and builld- ings. Few cities are so richly en- dowed with parks, gardens and open en spaces. They have been callhe lungs of London and consist of crown lands, of estates acquired for parks, gardens and commons that have been preserved from enclosure They are distributed over the city, but •central London has a great share One can wander around to no end, almost, admiring the gardens, the flowers, the little .lakes and canals in St. James Park, the Green Park, Hyde Park (640 acres) Regents Park (41'1 acres) ; Kensington Gar- dens; Royal Botanic Gardens, Zoo- logical Gardens, Kew Gardens and many municipal -parks, gardens, and commons. Londoners do not need to go far from any point to find an open space that is a veritable beau- ty spot and where the air Is as fresh as one could desire. We used to be told that some of the people of Old London had never seen a blade of grass throughout a long life -time We now say it is not a fact unless they were born blind.
