Mr. Russell took a promnent place in all Victory Loan drives, but he was even more useful as an adviser to the Canadian War Council at Wash- ington and to the imperial Munitions Board, The possibilities for the future in the career of this still -young captain of industry are manifest, but they as- sume; for the immediate future at least, still more imposing' propor- tions when it is considered that at the present time he is working for the advancement of the 131g Fair hand- in-hand with Mr. John G., Kent, the most capable general manager the Ex- hibition has had since its inauguration, 41 years ago.

' It requires little speculation to de- cide what the initial " A" that stands in the middle of the name of Thomas A, Russell, president of the Canadian National Exhibition signifies. It means "assiduity." Thut,Mr, Russell is assiduous there is no doubt. '1'o have become presi- dent of the greatest annual exbibi- lion in the world, vice-president and general manager of a big automobile concern, president of the Ontario Motor League—all before reaching the age of 42, must be conceded to be something of an attainment. But t,ir, Russell's accomplishments are not confined to the foregoing. They extend still further, as the fol- lowing short sketch of his career would indicate. Mr. Russell was born at Exeter, Ontario, ill 1877, and graduated from Toronto University with honors in 1899. That was probably the first signal victory he scored in a life that, still brief, has been an uninterrupted sequence of versatile and successful achievements. After leaving U iversity he beanie Secretary of the 1 attadian !lfaunfac- turers' Association, with which or- ganization he remained for two years, and a short time tater branched out as one of the pioneers of the automo- bile industry in Canada. In 1908 he was president of the Ontario Motor League, in 1911 general manager of the Canada Cycle and Motor and later vice-president and general manager of the Willys-Overland. Mr, Russell's connection with the Exhibition dates bac k to the days when, •ts it very young ratan, he led all contestants, for several years un- interruptedly, in the stock judging competitions held for the encourage- ment and instruction of young farm- ers. It is doubtful if there is to -day •t more astute and expert judge of live stock in the Dominion. In ad- dition to participating in the judg- ing competitions, Mr. Russell has al- ways been an enthusiastic exhibitor of his own stock. Activities Very Varied His first official connection' with the 'Big Fair was as an associate direct- or, tt position which he tilled for some years. in that capacity he took charge of the cattle section and reorganized that department on a basis• -that is still the standard for fairs and exhibitions the continent over, "That Mr. Russell's election as president came in one of the most difficult years in the history of the Exhibition, 1917, serves only to show how profound was the faith in his ability felt byltis fellow directors. There has always been a feeling in Exhibition circles that a represetlt- tative of agriculture should be elect- ed president, but no outside dele- gate has yet been. found with suf- ficient leisure time to devote to the work. As a result a Toronto elan has always been elected to the office. lin adddition to being •t large miun- facturer, Air.

'Soo mush eating of heavy, hiikty- neaeoned 'foods and too little out- door exercise are the most frequent causes. The liver is upset, becomes torpid and inactive, the bowels ars constipated, the kidneys are over- worked in an effort to get rid of the accumulating poisons and break- down. Headache, backache, aching limbs sound a warning note, and deen this is evelolimeut nit hest umattismed the n ltrml at d bago, and painful and fatal forma Of kidney disease. To best overcome this condition Dr. 'Chase worked out in his private practice a prescription which has come to be known as Dr. Chase's Kidney -Liver Pills, because of their combined action on these filtering organs. No treatment has aver proven so successful in awakening ti;e action of the kidneys, liver and bowels, and thereby cleansing the system of all impurities. For this reason Dr. Chase's Kidney -Liver Pills have a world-wide reputation as the most thorough cure for rheumatism, lumbago, chronlo in- digestion and constipation. Mrs. Alex, Gordon, Walkerton.
