DIEt.11NN TONIC TREATMENT Miss Mabel McDonald, of Wingham, is visiting with friends here. Mrs. Bronscombe, of Cargill, is vis- iting at Mr. Thomas Todd's, and with other friends. Local young people hired carryalls and drove to Black Horse Lake recently, and enjoyed themselves at a picnic there. Rain was badly needed here and the several heavy rains which fell lately were most welcome. It has hindered farmers with their hay, but pasture fields, roots, vegetables and fruits look much better. Without the showers there would have been no raspberries, and now there is good crop. A large number of pickers go out, and return Amid scenes of cordial camaraderie with full pails. and enthusiasm the special train bear- I hip; Mr. N. W Rowell, Ontario's Liber- al leader, and a large delegation of his Council meeting.held July 29th; mem- colleagues and supporters, left the Ihers all present;the Reeve in the Union Station, Toronto, at nine o'clock chair the minutes of last meeting were Monday night on the Provincial Liberal iread and adopted on motion of Messrs• party excursion to new Ontario. The itinerary includes practically all points at interest in the "Greater Ontario." Many statements of facts have eman- ated from the office of the secretary of the Kansas State Board of Agriculture, that have become orthodox throughout the United States, but none were ever fraught with more truth than thestate- ment that "by far too many of our graduates are a lotof swaggering, soft - palmed, lawn -tennis, basketball, pink tea, bridge -whist, cigarette and pool - hall specialists; ;,parasites instead of producers, of no earthly use to the world in which they exist, with a con- tempt for those who live by real work, absorbed with the idea that they are made of a clay vastly superior to that of those who paid their way, and who, by their life -time of strenuous toil, pinching economies and many priva- tions made their schooling possible. - Farmers' Advocate. The judicial committes of the Privy Council on Monday decided the Quebec "ne telnere" marriage question in favor of the Province of Quebec, and against the recent proposed lc gislatirn of the Dominion Parliament, which under- took to provide that no law or canon- ical decree or custom of any province should have force or effect to invalidate any marriage performed by any 'person competent to perform a marriage cer- emony. The papal decree declared that the marriage of two Catholics or of a Catholics with a Protestant must be performed before or with the sanc- tion of the Catholic parish priest. The lord chancellor in delivering judgment said that the proposed bill was beyond the powers of the Dominion Parliament. Sometimes a Canadian makes his fortune in England, although usually the story reads the other way. A Toronto contractor employed a certain man as foreman in the building of houses. Ten years ago the foreman left him, only to reappear recently in the yards of his employer a wealthy man. He had made his fortune in England building houses on the Cana- dian plan. Instead of erecting struc- tures aimed to last for centur- ies, he built them so as to last a gener- ation or two; They contained from six to eight rooms; had furnaces and other modern conveniences. He sold them at from £500 to £1,000, and in his ten years' experience could not build them quickly enough. The English people of that particular region were bidding for his houses before the foundations were finished. Now he is taking six months' � , Sometimes ometimes it pays to go east to make money. -Canadian Collier's.

FOR THE STOMACH` The Modern Meth!ld Most Suc- cessfi,l in Treating Indigesiion. The old-fashioned methods of treat- ing indigestion and stomach troubles are being discarded. The trouble with the old-fashioned methods was that when the treatment was stopped the trouble returned in an aggravated form. The modern method of curing indi- gestion and other stomach troubles is to tone up the stomach to do its nor- mal work. Every step toward recovery is a step gained not to be lost again. The recovery of the appetite, the dis- appearance of pain, the absence of gas all are steps on the road to health that those who have tried the tonic treatment remember distinctly. Dr Williams' Pink Pills are a tonic medi- cine, every constituent of which is helpful in building up the digestive or- gans, and is therefore the very best remedy for chronic cases of stomach Wheeler and Moffatt. trouble.

One day a friend who was in asked her to try Dr. Williams' Pink Piils. Without very much hope that the Pills would prove successful when other medicines had failed, we nevertheless got her a sup- ply. In a few weeks we could see a de- cided change, and got six more boxes, By the time these were used mother was almost well, and she kept on tak- ing the Pills for a short time longer and was completely cured. She is now a healthy and strong woman and is never bothered with her stomach in any way. I hope this statement will bring relief to other sufferers." Why experiment with medicines of doubtful value, when you have such positive evidence of the benefit follow- ing the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills?

Toronto, July 29 -Union Stock Yards -Receipts were 142 loads, with 3,131 head of cattle, 579 sheep and lambs, 22 hogs, 162 calves and 18 horses. The butcher market was good and active to -day with prices steady to firm at the advances made on last Thurs- day's market, or 10c to 15c higher than a week ago to -day. The run was very heavy with over 3,000 head of cattle, the bulk of which were medium to good butcher, and probably a third were light to good ex- port. The demand for export was very quiet, several choice loads failing to get bids up to the noon hour. The old - country quotations were not quite satis- factory at the present time, several local shippers, it is reported, experienc- ing losses on recent shipments. The activity of the butcher trade made up for the quieter export market, and several loads of the choicest offer- ings of butcher sold strong at $7 up to $7.40. One load of extra choice light exporters was bought for local killing at $7.75. The demand is for good qual- ity, and common cattle were inclined to drag at the lowest prices. Sheep and lambs steady and unchang- ed. Hogs were firm and are quoted 10c higher at $8.15 f. o. b. and $3.15 fed and watered.

Nobody can tell exactly why, but after you have met her you turn away to some other woman and say: "Don't you like Miss Grosvenor?" Now the reason you like her is a subtle one; without knowing alt about her you feel just the sort of girl she is. She is the girl who appreciates the fact that she cannot always have the first choice of everything in the world. She is the girl who is not aggressive and does not find joy in inciting aggres- sive people. She is the girl who has tact enough not to say the very thing that will cause the skeleton ip her friend's closet to rattle his bones. She is the girl who, whether it is warm or cold, clear or stormy, finds no fault with the weather. She is the girl who, when you invite her to any place, compliments you by looking her best. She is the girl who makes this world a pleasant place because she is so pleas- ant herself. And, by-and-by, when you come to think of it, isn't she the girl who makes you feel she likes you, and therefore you like her?-Sel.

One of the earliest comers of these, bars. Elizabeth Anderson, relict of the late Arch. Anderson, passed to her rest at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Hill, in Milton. Mrs. Anderson knew the trials and difficulties and also the joys of pioneer life in the early days, having come some sixty years ago as a young bride with her husband, and settled on the bush farm in West Wawanosh, now the home of her son, J. D. Anderson. She was a woman of sterling consistent Christian character and possessed in a marked degree courage, cheerfulness, sympathy and kindness, and was always willing to lend a helping hand to those in need. Retiring from the farm some years ago she, with. her husband, resid- ed about five years in the village of Lucknow, and later with herdaughter in Milton. She leaves behind her a grown-up family of sons and daughters, only two of whom, Arch. and Joseph, now reside in Wawanosh. The funeral which was lnrgely attended, took place/ on Friday, July 19th, from the old farm home -for St, Helens cemetery, the funeral services being conducted by Rev. Mr. McIntosh, of St. Helens. •s••ss*oa.0 ♦ 4 ♦ •♦ ♦ . ♦ •♦ • ♦ ♦ O ♦ ♦ CREAM WANTED ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦.♦.♦.♦♦♦♦♦ Our cream wagons are now on the road.
