The Rural Problem
in Huron County
Facts that Challenge Attention
Brought to Light by the First
Rural Survey in Canada
(From Farm and Dairy)
)Huron tcoulnity has started en
earnest to grapple with its aural.
problem. This problem ,blas ;been'
long with us, We have known in
a general way for manly years that
the rural population of odd Osiltar-
iois deoreasing.TheDomintlon cen-
sus.
ensus, of 1011 glove us definite intfor-
miation that ,.eonlfirmed our worst
fears. The, census statistics show-
ed that the rural districts of Ontiar
to had. lost over 100,000 souls in the
previous 10 years. Farming popu-
tetiansi in jhe other eastern pro-
vinces! fared little 'better: Those
who had remained more optimistic
w.erei astounded to find that the
rural population of Ontario was
less than it had been for 40 years
previously. and Huroniaoun,ty)suf-
fered worse than moat districts of
Dantean Canada.
Even the cen(sna, however, kl4d not
give us full informlation. (onthe
rural problem;. Itt dealt only with
movemente of populration( How
Marl this decrease effected the
rural school and the rural church
and Sunday eehool? Before we can
deal effectively with the rural pro-
nalmification.s, It was to get this
definite) informhtion that the Hu-
ron County Rural survey was made
the first of the kind ever conduct-
ed int Canfada.
The Allan and The Idea
Behind; every, Movement there is
a, leader. In the, case of the Hu-
ron survey it Was the !Rev. S. F.
Sharp, Presbyterian minister of
Exeter, who envolved the idea and
saw) it carried to completion); A
couple of years ago Mr. Sharp at-

that keeping the male birds with the
poultry flocks after the breeding sea

are eimilar. Through this survey
Mtr. Sharp and those who worked
with haul have brought this serious

churches: and before people gender -
ally in a manner than cannot be

When You Suffer
From Your Back
YOUR KIDNEYS MUST BE WRONQ
Many women work day after day
with an excruciating pain in the back,
and really do not know that the kidneys
are the source of this pain. When the
back starts to ache you inay be sure that
the kidneys are not working properly,
and the oiily way possible to make a
complete cure is to take "time by the
forelock" arid get rid of all these aches
and pains by using that old and thor-
oughly tried remedy
DOAN'S KIDNEY PILLS
Mrs. John Power, Peake Station,
P.E.I., writes "I suffered from back-
ache for three years, and I tried all kinds
of medicine but got no relief. I was so
bad at times 1 would not be able to walk.
A friend told me to try your Doan's
Kidney Pills, so I got
five boxes
before I had three boxes used I was nand
early
well. I used the other two, and I can
say your Doan's Kidney Pins cured me.
Had it not been for th.:a I would be
suffering yet."
Doan's Kidney Pills are 50 cents per
box or 3 for 81.25 at all dealers or mailed
direct on receipt of price by The T.
Milburn Co., Limited, Toronto, Ont.
When ordering direct specify "Doan's."
