John Campbell is home from the West on a short visit with his parents, D. and Mrs, Campbell. Six years of single bliss in the West has evidently agreed with John. Tuesday of last week Mrs. George Speiran underwent a successful opera- tion at Guelph hospital. It is expected that she will be able to return in about three weeks. Her many friends wish her a speedy recovery. We are sorry to hear that David Davidson, formerly of the 11th con., is laid up with typhoid fever at the Red Deer Hospital in the West. He is progressing favorably we are glad to state and will soon be able to be about we hope. A Weak -Chested Boy. "My boy Frank seemed weak -chest- ed and took a very severe cold," writes Mrs. D. Stevens, Ninga, Man. "The many medicines used did not seem to benefit him, until we tried Dr. Chase's Syrup of Linseed and Turpentine and found it to be exactly what was wanted to cure him." No treatment is so thorough and effective as a cure for croup and bronchitis. JATVLESTO W N. Mrs. John R. Miller, who was some- what injured by a fall a few weeks ago, is making favorable improvement we are pleased to state. We are sorry to hear that John Mc- Lennan is not in as good health as usual. He went to Guelph to undergo an op- eration which we hope will prove help- ful. The 100 acre farm of John E. White, Sid Lots 13 and 14, has been sold to Samuel Burke, of the same line, for $3500, possession to be given March 1st. Mr. White has lived on the farm for the past 35 years and he and his good lady purpose retiring now and will make their home in Listowel where Mrs. White has bought a home. Mr. Burke now owns 250 acres and assisted by his sons will no doubt look after his increas- ed estate in good style •as they are hustlers to work. We wish them suc- cess.

Fulton, an old and well-known Brusselite, missed his way in going to his home Friday evening, Oct. 18th. His non -arrival alarmed the members of his home and a scouting party was organized and thorough search made. He had been seen on Frederick street, leading to the salt works, hence that territorry was carefully gone over des- pite the rain and darkness. The wan- derer was not discovered until the fol- lowing morning when he was found in the gravel pit on Thomas Miller's farm, 6th line. The old gentleman was so badly chilled that pneumonia set in from which he died Monday night, Oct. 21st. Deceased, who was in his 82nd year, was born in the Co. of Antrim, Ireland, coming to Canada in his boy- hood. The early home was at New Glasgow, Quebec, afterward living at Hamilton and 54 years ago Mr. Fulton located at Walton where he opened a blacksmith shop.

The subject of this notice was a hearty man, and up to a few years ago enjoyed good health but of late lapse of memory had rendered him quite a charge to the members of the home. He was a member of the Pres- byterian.Church and was precentor for years; a Conservative in politics and belonged to the Orangemen. Eczema and Sore Eyes. "My daughter suffered from inflamed eyelids and eczema on her head," writes Mr. H. W. Lear, Port Blanford, Nfld.

EAST WA WANOSH. Their died at the home of his daugh- ter at Vancover, B. C., on October 6th, one of the oldest and most esteemed residents of this part of the county, in the person of Walter McGowan. The late Walter McGowan was born in the County of Halton in the year 1830 and in company with his brother, the late William McGowan, came to East Wawanosh in the year 1852 when they took up land and under- went the many trials incident to pion- eer life.

C., and R. C. and Daniel, of East Wawanosh. Besides his i meorate family, there aree still living, three brothers and one sister, two of the brothers reside in the States and Mr. Daniel and Mrs. Ii.

Actually in need of food to nourish the body and yet afraid to eat because of the racking pains that follow. That. is the condition of the sufferer from' indigestion --a choice between starva- tion or merciless' torture. The urgent need of all dyspeptics, of everybody whose organs of digestion have become unfit to perform their important duty, is for stronger stom- achs that can extract nourishment from food. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills give weak stomachs just the strength they need by enriching the blood supply, thus giving tone and strength to the stomach and its nerves, and enabling it to do the work nature intended it to do. Thousands of cases of indigestion have been cured by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, of which the following is but one instance. Miss L. A. Brown, Port Al- bert, Ont., says: "For a number of years I was 'a terrible sufferer from indigestion, and as a result became completely run down, and su red from backaches and nervous oubles as well. I had to force my f to eat, but never enjoyed a meal o ing to the aw- ful pains that fo lo ed eating. Life was becoming a bu en, and as medi- cine after medicine failed to help me I felt I was doomed to go through life a constant sufferer. Finally a married sister strongly urged me to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and I have reason to be thankful that I followed her ad- vice, as they have fully restored my health, and I can now enjoy all kinds of food without the least discomfort, and my friends say I am looking better than I have done for years. At all events I know I feel like a new person, so shall always praise Dr. Williams' Pink Pills."

W. J. GREER. The Nervous Man. A traveller came to an inn one stor- my night and demanded lodging. At first it was refused, as the inn was crowded. After much entreaty the landlord said: "I have but one vacant room, just over that of a nervous man, and I promised him I would put no one in it. But if you will retire very quietly I will let you have it." After a good supper and a pipe the traveller was shown his room, and for- getting the nervous man below, pulled off one boot and threw it on the floor. With a start he then remembered his promise to the landlord, and noiselessly finishing his prepartion for the night, crept into bed, and was soon sound asleep. About dawn came aloud knock- ing at his door, and an angry voice cried out: "Throw down that other boot!" Robert Edgar, a G. T. R. Engineer for many years, was hurled by one engine in front of another at St. Thomas and instantly killed. A twelve -year-old boy, George A. Thompson, was shot through the head while hunting near lIaileybury. BUSINESS AND SHORTHAND Subiects taaght by expert instructors at the Y. M. C. A. BLDG.. LON lrON. ONT.

Westervelt, Jr. I'a ,cepa Chartered Accountant Poles Used in Canada in 1911. The Forestry Branch'of the Depart- ment of the Interior has lately finished the compilation of statistics dealing with the poles purchased in Canada during 1911. The total number of poles purchased was 585,703, a decrease of 25 per cent. from 1910. The total value of these poles at point of purchase was $1,056.277, and the average price was $1.80, greater by 47 cents than the price per pole in 1910. Steam railways telephone and telegraph companies used almost ninety per cent. of these poles, the remaining ten per cent. being used by electric railway, power and light companies. Over ninety per cent. of the total consumption were cedar poles, which for their cost give better service than any other wood. At present prac- tically none of these poles are treated or preserved by any method, in which respect Canada is far behind the United States. The United States, using in 1910 3,870,694 poles, found that it paid them to use preservative methods. During the last four years the treat- ment of poles has advanced rapidly; in 1910 over 21 per cent. of the total num- ber were treated by the creosote or other methods. This is an increase of some forty-five per.eent. over the num- ber of timber -treating plants, while Canadian pole -users are only now be- ginning treat their poles. It is to to be hoped that this great inequality will soon be done away with and that pole - users in Canada may take up this cheap and rational method of securing greater service from the poles used and thus lessening the drain on the forest.
