Every lodge, church body or social organization should have some representative who will promptly and carefully after its news report- ing, If you think some organization has better news service than your Own, it is probably because that or- ganization looks after such matters better. Write your items and send them in when possible. Or telephone them to No. 30, but please don't ask that long lists of names be taken over telephone, as it not 'only 're- quires much time, but is fruitful in pOssibilltfes of error.

OTHER TABLETS NOT, TARIFF VIEWS ASPIRIN AT AL Presented Before Tariff Commis - I Only Tablets with "Bayer Croce'', sion Meeting at London are Genuine Aspirin Q PAY RR The Federal 'Commission, which has been touring the Dominion, held a sitting at -London 011 Monday. From The Toronto Star's report of the pro- ceedings we take the following: Throughout the whole toe: of the Tariff Commission no more capable and intelligent farmer witnesses have appeared than Mr. Thomas McMillan, of Seaforth, and Mn, Harold Currie, of Strathroy. Mr- McMillan, who un- successfully contested South Huron in 1917, has both read and thought deeply upon our economic and social problems and he presented an able and well -phrased memorial to the Commission. After emphasing the eessential stability of rural civilization in tines of unrest, he said "right down at tate foundation of our Canadian national life is the farmer—basic and vital—and upon hint, his industry and his dependability, rests the hope of the country. The national life of Can- ada may be likened to a tree of which the roots and trunk represent agri- culture and its branches the other in- dustries, which hinge and depend upon Agriculture. tits constant condition in normal times .s the great barometer of the trade of the country and just as Agriculture flourishes so will it set and maintairf in operation the other industries which hinge and depend up- on it' How Tariff Raises Prices On behalf of the farmers of a On- tario, Mr. McMillan repudiated any antipathy to industrial effort, but it was futile to hope ,that criticism of tariff privileges would ever be stilled. "People,' he said, "may submit to an injustice for a time, but even without further provocation the dissatisfaction bursts forth again," The farmer was handicapped by the enhanced prices which he had to pay for his machinery and equipment owing to the tariff, and he gave a tong list of farm and domestic requirements whose price was inflated by customs duties. He cited the instance of lighting plants on which there is a duty of thirty-five per cent. The result was that the Delta type of plant could be secured by the American farmer at $425, but had cost Mr, McMiliah, $585 at Sea - forth. All the articles he named were part of the rate material of the fanner and it was a reasonable request that those engaged in Canada's greatest industry should be allowed their i'av7 itlTiteF- lals either free or at the lowest possible rate of duty. Perils of Depopulation It was right that manufacturers should have their raw materials free but why should they be privileged in this regard? Mr. McMillan then enlarged upon the subject of rural depopulation in Ontario and stressed its obvious perils. It was a misfortune for a c eintry to have its people huddled together in large centres of population and as the tariff stimulated this tendency, It was in the highest national interest that it should be reformed and the balance redressed in favor of rural life. The concrete suggestions for. re- form which he supported were tine fiscal planks in the Farmers' platform and once more the Commission had to listen to thein, Mr, McMillan answered a series of questions put by Sir Henry Drayton e v•r, about wages and values of 1 •nd `tbo wa a a 4 s y Intelligently, He pointed out that the inflation of money gave land a fictitious and possible temporary value and sat- isfied the Minister of Finance that he was a contributor to 'tire rcvepue of tit income tax If you don't see the "Bayer Cross's on the tablets, you are not getting; Aspirin—only an acid imitation. The "Bayer Cross" is your only way -- of knowing that you are getting genuine Aspirin, prescribed by physicians for. over nineteen years and proved safe by•_ millions for Iloadnrihe, Neuralgia, Colds,, Rheumatism, Lumbago, Neuritis, and for Pain generally. Bade in Canada. Handy tin boxes of 12 tablets—also. larger sized "Bayer" packages can be had -at drug stores. Aspirin is the trade mark (registered in Canada), of Bayer Manufacture o£ 1MMonoaeeticacidester of Salicylicacid, While it is well known that Aspirin,_ means Bayer manufacture, to assist the public against imitations, the Tablets at:.
