WALKER'S FUNERAL HOME William Street, Brussels, Ontario PERSONAL ATTENDANCE 'Phone 65 Day or Night Calle MOTOR HEARSE B G. WALKER Embalmer end Funeral Director. BRUSriv_S, phone 53X cattle do not like so they leave it alone. Truth is every person seems to have left it alone lad no person has bothered giving it a name. The one exception has been the Pharmacy Department of the Uni- versity cf Nebraska. Trained men there took the weed to see what it contained and they have since ex- perimented to the extent of iucorp orating the juice or oil extractel from it into a treatment said to have been found useful and good in the treatment of ringworm, athlete's foot, impetigo, and so on, Scientific men Who have tried the new remedy say it has curative pow- ers, and they also say that this weed to vli:ch no attention has been paid, and which has been snubbed to the point where 11 has never been given a name, should be worth $38,50 per ton. And the weed grows in Pro- fusion to Nebraska and needs no cultivation, and it has been doing that same tiring for years. The difference between the weed being worth $38,50 a ton and being regalcled only as a nuisance is the difference between knowing what it is and what it contains and knowing nothing at all. That sort a know- ledge is not only useful but Profit- able as well, A SERIES OF APPROXIMAIONS I'L is very difficult to be patient these days when international af- fairs are under consileration, No right-thinking plan condones the treatment of Ethiopia.

There is actually no pledge to sign, but with each emblem is handed to the motorist a booklet containing the Pledge, and by the simple act of affixing the emblem to his car, the motorist obligates himself 'to its observance,'• Already over 300,000 White O'ross emblems have been forwarded to individual mo'toristsy business hoes - 1 The most important factor In the care of tuberctlosle le rest. c If a patient ills tuberculosis of a Joint, the limb is put to rest si splinting or by some other means.
