Thompson of the 10th concession of
Goderich township, has this to say
about then in a letter expressing his
appreciation :
"The apples . arc simply prune. My
wile is delighted and says they have
the finest flavor 511e ever tasted. The
apples seem bigger and rosier the
farther you look into the barrel.
The packing was absolutely perfect.
The express man remarking how well
the barrel was packed, said there
was not even a rattle. I can easily

good every promise, delivering the
goods just as advertised.. As on its
former visits, it will be found ,to be
clean to a fault and during the en-
tire performance there is not a lice,
an action nor; an insinuation to which
exception can be taken. There is
every ingredient of gayety and Mel-
ody and it is illuminated with an
Olio of top-notch and refined vaude-
ville stunts of the better class, the
kind that are seldom seen outside
the larger cities. It is snappy, gin-
gery and 'well calculated to drive
away the blues. Mr. Rockwell does
not believe in putting .the greater
part of his salary allotment into one
of two acts and, allowing the bal-
ance of the performance to suffer
through the.elnployment of cheaper
ones, which always disgust the ex-
perienced
xperienced patron, but he has found
that the expenditure of money for
the purpose of making each act and
detail complete pays twice over in
the box Once receipts. This explains
why the performances given by this
company are always up-to-the-min-
ute and sends _ the audience home
whistling, happy and contented..

RESULTS OF INFLUENZA.
Medical authorities have stated,
"There is no knowing how far-reach-
ing the results of the influenza epi-
demic will be."
'From the nature of the.malady it
is feared many cases of tuberculosis
will develop. If you have not fully
recovered from the "flu," or you are
run down in health from some other
cause, seek a doctor at once. Con-
sumption may have developed, but
even that may be cured if taken in
time. .0. case in point has recently
been brought to our attention -- a
farm laborer with a wife and five
small children. He had not been
feeling right for some months, not
sick enough to go to bed, or stay
indoors, but always tired, His daily
work about the farm had become me a
task to him. So of his own accord
ka Free Hos-
ptWent y aMiiato t ndfnd out what was
the matter. He was found to be suf-
fering from tuberculosis, and was
immediately taken in and put to bed.
The doctors say thiis man is that making in
a and ood recovery,
shortly be able to return home.
