I3uasax i for the West and the pros- pects fora bumper harvest, CANADA'S war outlay is well up to n Million dollars a day at present, 'There is room for the practice of economy. SUHMAIt1NE merchantmen would be little use to Great Britain, Our ships do business on the sees not under them, Bto Fairs are looming up. You should try to attend one of them for a few days this year but don't neglect the home Exhibition. Now is the time to he getting your entries ready, ICeev your eye on Roumania. 'Phe Allies are hinting to her "Come on In the water is fine." The first plunge usually relieves the shock. S1t5RT sermons please the average church goer during the sultry weather. Guess the parsons wont object to abbre viate, even if they give extra measure when the good old Summer time bas passed by. CONSTAN'rINOPLE, while not the next stop for the Russian bear, is not very far down on his timetable of places be intends to call upon. The Dardanelles will have a new tneaning after this war as it relates to the world. CANADA must look well after the in- valided soldiers. They must not want and yet where they are able to do some. thing tuward their awn maintenance they should be asked to do so. It will be better for the soldier and pot hearth cess Into efforts trade lu his behalf. Give the School Fair a boost when- ever you have a chance. By so doing you are probably doing much for a bet- ter Agricultural Show in your com- munity in the days to come. A friendly hand is a good second to a word of good cheer, Prrao TA is considering the question of public ownership of their natural gas, We know some other towns where the Council monopolize a large proportion of gas - mostly natural. Oftentimes neither light nor power is the outcome. Tux blind pig is a badly bred animal no matter where found and need expect no favors when its pen is located, Some of the fellows who haul the "rations" need not be su' prised if they are asked to contribute to the exchequer. The powers that be are on their track. RUMOR has it that the Goderich, Clin- ton and SeaE are not in it for a 0rth girls g minute with a Pennsylvania Miss who sy kissed no less than 971 soldiers in a short period. Of course speed is not the only qualification in doing a good job, some- times "slow but sure" is a winner. Naxr combat in the Provincial arena will be in South West Toronto where a vacancy has been created by the demise of Hon. Mr. Foy. Nomination day will be August 14th and Election, if neces- sary, on the 21st inst. Already the war paint is being daubed on and Ananias' are being engaged to write up the re- ports and give "the real truth" to the electors. AOSTRIA and Turkey commence to cast blame upon the Kaiser for the way the war is going and a little scrap is said to be on the program among our enemies that wont strengthen their hands or hearts for the battles still to be fought. The Kaiser thought be would eat his Christmas dinner in Paris in December 1914 but he didn't do it, How would it be if the Allies would carve the turkey in Berlin in 1918 ? It is more likely to happen than not. KENT Co. Battalion at Camp Borden was presented with a motor truck by their friends in the home County, It is to be utilized in moving supplies from the railway station to their camp quar- ters, Chatham got hold of a end hand truck for which $225 was paid, A move i8 on in Huron to present the boys of the 161st with a motor vehicle of the same character and several municipali- ties are doing their "bit" to aid in the purchase. A few dollars from each would soon meet the expense, Asou'r 351,eoo men have enlisted in Canada so far for overseas v s as service for the Empire, Of this number Onttrio leads with 145,200.

Newspaper this : THE newspaper is about the cheapest thing in the mod- ern world for its value. If nothing else were consid- ered save the usefulness of the advertisements and the mar- ket prices, to the average home, a dollar spent in newspaper must mean the saving of many dollars in a home. IT is not necessary to argue the value to you of your home news - paper. But we ask this of you : Isn't three cents a week little enough for THE BRUSSELS POST, delivered to your home, and which gathers together all the news of this community ? No city daily can do what THE POST is doing for and in this county and neighborhood. It does not give you with desired fullness the news of Brussels, Ethel, Cranbrook, Walton, Belgrave, Bluevale, Jamestown, Wroxeter and neighborhoods. It does not tell you what local merchants have to offer you. Local news and happenings are told sufficiently in a local newspaper. The price of THE POST becomes $1.50 on August ist. This increase of so cents a year is made necessary by rising costs in every direction—paper, ink, type, wages, cost of living and other things. WHAT we are concerned about is that you value your weekly newspaper to continue as a subscriber at the higher rate. Three brown coppers a week ! Youisay that you cannot afford them.. They are the price of a postage stamp, half the price of a 'smoke', the money you would give a child to buy candy with, the. price of a pair of ]aces. at it main nx asst! l( It Is d11011, 11 was Welly aid neta'v 1111-111Bleb. aril Otnntiughnm, He (1(50 jest beteg. ing ble boys out foe e rest when ile gut kllleth lierl 1)enni ori gob wound• ed and has gone i," Blighty. lie told Me be.10 1) he IYeI11 on peen that he would soon he hiving a good 1 hum and so he did, but be just got back froth hie pays and went up to the trenches one night and tray heel( in I • England the next. nigh) with a h.lighl •tvnuud ill his leg, which 1 Ihnik will Lake hiul back to Canada). 11'puhg to • he able to bell you more the next time • I have a chance to write, 1'11 close with best wishes to all.

LETTER FROM ENGLAND From Pte. W. H. Cook DEAR FLoaaOecr„-Just a line 10 let you know 1 am o, k. Graeae you won- der why 1 have not written. We have been moved around a lot at tiff ferent jobs and I scarcely had time to write, Have been on guard and an. ing line work and as Capt. Bailey'e orderly.

I was only 3 feet front them as th ny made their way in three lovely motor cars. They visited the Canadians last week and to -day reviewed the South Africans and the Royal Garrison Artillery just helnty the house here. 1 ran down just in time to have a good look at them. They were dressed very plain, the Queen wearing a suit of pale blue and Princess Mary all in white. King George wore a General's uni- form and all looked very nice. I sal- ulted, the Queen bowed her head and the King saluted. We are sending a lot of men to France these days. I sent some papers to Mr. Kerr of THE POST. I have had some experiences when I was in London for 2 days. Saw the first batch of wounded from the drive in France. Hoping you are all well and with best regards to all nld friends.

N. le Underwood Walkerton Wingham WHY WOMEN WRITE LETTERS To Lydia E. Pintcharn Medi- otos Co. Women who are well often ash "Aro the lettere which the Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Co. are continually publishing, genuine?" "Are they truthful?" " Why do women write such letters?" In, answer we say that never have we published a fictitious letter or name. Never, knowingly, have we published an untruthful letter, or one without the full and written consent of the woman who wrote it. The reason that thousands of women from all parts of the country write such grateful letters to the Lydia E. Pink - ham Medicine Co. is that Lydia E. Pink - ham's Vegetable Compound has brought health and happiness into their lives, once burdened with pain and suffering, It has relieved women from some of the worst forms of female ills, from dis- placements, inflammation, ulceration, irregularities, nervousness, weakness, stomach troubles and from the blues. It is impossible for any woman who is well and who, has never suffered to realize how these poor, suffering wo- men feel when re- stored to health; their keen desire to help other women who are suffering as they did. ,,, ,. .,,..Sept, 19-20 MAC THISTLE Sept. 28-29 2 048 48971 A.
