A woman sends, the following ac- count of the consequences of an auto accident in which she was involved:— "A year ago I had a very bad auto- mobile accident, which left me more or less a cripple. Having to lie in bed so long, and being unable to move, I began to put on flesh. When I was able to walk a little again,; I found I was 144 lbs,, and being just under 5 feet you may guess how I was placed. So I thought I would try Kru- schen Salts, and I must say they have done me a lot of good in every way -but chiefly in keeping my weight down. In three months I lost 6 lbs. Then I left off taking the Kruschen, and I soon went up to 142 lbs. again, So at once I got more Kruschen, and ant again steadily reducing. My weight last month was 134 lbs"— (Mrs.) W. H. M. Kruschen combats the cause of fat by assisting the internal organs to per- form their functions properly — to throw off each day those waste pro- ducts and poisons which, if allowed to accumulate, will be converted by the body's chemistry into fatty tissue. was not an earthquake, but any oth- er explanation of the phenomena has not been forthcoming. Japanese Finance Minister Charged Tokio—A scandal reaching into of- ficial circles was uncovered with the arrest of Hideo Kuroda, Vice -Minist- er of Finance, on charges of corrupt financial practices. Charges against the official, it was felt in many quar- ters, seriously threaten the Saito Cab- inet. Kuroda was charged with being involved in alleged irregularities in administration of the semi-official Bank of Formosa, and affairs of the Imperial Rayon Company. Girl Attacked at Chatham Chatham—Police are searching for an unidentified man who scaled a lad- der into the room of a 19 -year-old domestic and brutally attacked her. Dorothy Smith was asleep in her room at the home of Mrs. Howard. Owen when her assailant entered the house. He first unscrewed the bulb in the street light below to darken the scene and then proceeded up a ladder left against the building by painters. He reached the girl's room through an open window. Henry Approves Jobless Insurance Women delegates of the unemploy- ed were told by Premier Henry that the Ontario Government was sympa- thetic toward the movement for un- employment insurance,, but that, as legislation, it was a Dominion con- cern. He gave, some indication that the Federal Government has the mat- ter under serious consideration, when he was quick to deny that Prime Min- ister Bennett had pronuonced against job -insurance. "Mr. Bennett has de- clared himself against only the non- contributory type," said the Premier. "He regards some form of insurance as inevitable." Balloon. Lands at Thamesville Thamesville—Mrs, Jean Piccard, who hopes to pilot a stratosphere ship while her husband studies cosmic rays this summer, ended her first balloon excursion with.a slightly bruised arni and many thrills.

Brueeeis Couple 50 Years Married Tuesday of last week was the hap- py occasion of the 50th wedding an- niversary of Mr, and. Mrs. James T. Ross, of Brussels. Mr. and Mrs. Ross are among the best known residents of that town, it'having been the home of Mr. Ross for his entire lifetime,. Howick Twp. Man Fined $28 Learning that he was to have a visit from the police, because tipsy people were seen corning from his home, Thomas Day, Howick Township far- mer secreted his supply of cider in his rnow, Police found it under six feet of hay, Day's ignorance of the law cost him $28 in county magis- trate's court, because a hay snow is not a private dwelling. Had he con- tinued to keep the beverage, particu- larly potent at this time of the year, in his home, he would not have bro- ken the law, the court explained, A Triple -Yolked Egg An Elderslie hen has performed the marvellous ovuliferous feat of produc- ing a perfect triple -yolked egg. Find- ing in the nest what be supposed was. a double -yolked specimen of hen fruit, the farmer jocularly hinted that he should be the consumer at the next meal. This was one time he found laid before him a larger plateful than he counted on.—Paisley Advocate. Fall Wheat Failure The fall wheat crop, which gave such good promise last fall, is esti- mated to be 75% failure this year. Nearly all the farmers in this district are breaking up at least a portion of their fall wheat fields and putting in spring grain in its place. -Mildmay Gazette. Bombing the Fish Gane Warden A. J. Ralston, Owen Sound, and Constable Archie Fergu- son of Walkerton, were here investi- gating a complaint that had been lodged with the respect to the use of dynamite to capture fish at the bridge on Absalom street, The ex- plosion stuns the fish, so that they rise to the surface of the stream, and, are easily picked up by hand.—Mild- may Gazette, Bullet Narrowly Misses Woman Mrs. Thomas Ashwell was water- ing flowers in one of the greenhouses, and had just moved a few inches to attend to some other plants when a bullet came through the glass from a northwesterly direction, and went on through the glass on the other side. It left two holes in the glass of the greenhouse. If Mrs. Ashwell had not moved just when she did the bullet would likely have passed through her neck, causing very serious injury or possibly death. 'Where the bullet came from, whether from a passing car or from the neighborhood, is not known.—Port Elgin Times. Car Catches Fire While Mr. Geo. Muldoon was about to start his car to leave for Walton the car, from some unknown cause, possibly a short circuit, caught fire. Mr. Muldoon by quick action was able to get the car out of the garage, and so prevented any serious burning of the building.—Brussels Post. Stray Pigeon Caught Bird lovers in Kincardine have been greatly interested during the, past month in the presence of a banded pigeon at William. Walsh's, black- smith. The bird, which has been very time, has been making its home in the rafters of the shop, and shows no concern whenever admirers are pre- sent. The pigeon is white with blue markings and the band on its leg bears the number CHU-33-10816.. This indicates that it belongs to some club and in the course of making a jour- ney has been lost.—Kincardine News. Robbers Visit Clinton So far Clinton has had little trou- ble with bandits or burglars but it looks as if we cannot count on a con- tinuance of such freedom, as the town was visited and the robbers carried off a good deal, of valuable loot. The 'biggest haul was a new Chev- rolet car, belonging to Mr. W. M, Nediger, which was in his father's garage, gas and oil being also taken. A visit was also made to Davis and Herman's clothing store and about $150 worth of men's and boys' cloth- ing taken. Several garages were also robbers were It maybe the o be , w entered b looking for a car which suited them. --Clinton .News -Record, Here's One for Vic Ripley They say that some people abuse and take advantage of conditions and circumstances and now one person has gone to the, extent of taking advant- age of .oar government, Yes sir, he is taking advantage of conditions and circumstances because maybe be thinks that Geo.

The Big Black Bear A deer was reported seen in Sproat's bush, Tuckersmith, one day last week and a few days later a big bear was noticed near the same spot. The bear, unlike the deer, stood its ground and is said to have reared tip on its hind legs. The farmer who sur- prised the bear, was however, not pre- pared to state how long it stood there for he didn't wait to see.—Seaforth Huron Expositor. An Additional Safeguard As a further measure of relief the Provincial Highway Department has begun widening out the shoulders on the King's highway 'extending from Walkerton to Clifford andthat will eliminate the necessity of installing guard rails at the dangerous places.— Walkerton Herald -Times. Cutworms If cutworms are troublesome in the plantbed, they may be controlled ei- ther by spraying or dusting the plants with arsenate of lead. Some workers have had excellent results in plant - beds with the poisoned bran mash as made for field use. This consists of 1 bran, 25 lbs.; Paris green, i lb.; mo- lasses, 1 quart, moistened with about 2i gallons of water: Mix the. bran and Paris green together and the molasses and water together and then combine these two mixtures, mixing thorough- ly; when ready for use the mash should crumble or slip through the fingers easily. This mash should be broadcasted over the soil in the beds during the evening. Four pounds of the mash (dry weight) is sufficient for about 100 square yards of bed. Care should be taken to see that the bait is left on the soil and not on the plant leaves as Paris green at times will burn tobacco foliage. The bait, can be used safely before the plants are up or before they become very large. At other times, it would be best to use the safer arsenate of lead spray.
