Work of Sneak "Thieves
Sneak thieves are again on the
prowl in Goderich and visited the
garage of Fred Hunt, Market street;
Mr. Hunt's garage is close to the side-
walk and the doors are seldom closed,
so it was an easy matter for someone
to insert a hose in the gas tank of his
car and siphon it dry. The tank had
just been filled the day before, he in-
formed police, who are investigating.
Some time ago Mr. Hunt's garage was
visited by night prowlers and a tire
was stolen.—Goderich Signal,

"I started taking Kruschen Salts a
month ago," a young woman writes.
"I have lost 5 lbs, in weight, and 1

full of vigor, whereas before I was
listless and 'worried over little things.
But if my troubles were doubled, they

—take one-half teaspoon of. Kruschen
Salts' in a glass of hot water before
breakfast.
Be sure and do this every morning,
for "It's the daily dose that takes off
the fat." When you take Kruschen
daily it means that every particle of
poisonous waste matter and harmful
acids and gases are expelled from the
system.
Modify your diet, and take gentle
exercise, The stomach, liver, kidneys
and bowels are tuned up, and the pure,
fresh blood containing these six salts
is carried to every part of the body.
Then follows "that Kruschen feeling
of energetic health and activity that
is reflected, in bright eyes, clear skin,

Horses Cause Bad Accident
An accident, which might have pro-
ved fatal to one or both occupants of
the car, occurred Wednesday of last
week, at noon on the fifth line of
Morris, in front of G. Davis' farm,
when a car driven by Samuel Wiesfild,
233 Montrose Avenue, Toronto, and
Henry Wiesfild ,also of Toronto, hit
a telephone pole, splitting it and turn-
ed two complete' somersaults into the
ditch. The occupants escaped serious
injury though they required medical
attention. The car was travelling east
toward Brussels, when they came up-
on two horses running loose on the
road. In trying to avoid hitting the
horses, the car swerved, missed the
animals but hit the telephone pole,
breaking it almost off, made two com-
plete turns and smashed into the ditch
in a badly damaged condition. -Brus-
sels Post.
Odd Specimens
Chief Strong, who is interested in
floral culture, laid upon our desk the
other day a rose, of the sweetbrier
variety, which was something of a
curiosity as half the petals were• pink
and the other half yellow. It was
grown on the lawn of Mr. Bert Frem-
lin and, in spite of the varied colors,
it 'smelled just as sweet" as its more
circumspect fellow -flowers. Mr. Ink -
ley has a curious bloom in his garden
and he doesn't know what it is. It is
a plant of the daisy species and puts
out a pretty mauve bloom early in the
morning, .closing up about eleven o'-
clock. When closed it forms a point-
ed bud pointing straight up. The
leaves of the plant are narrow and
pointed.—Clinton News -Record.
Finger Taken Off
When Billy, son of Mr. and Mrs.
John Campbell, 12th of Wallace, stuck

putation was necessary.—Palmerston

of potassium, phosphorus, magnesium,
sulphur, and calcium on strawberry
plants. Where there was a dificiency
of the first four of these elements
almost 100 per cent of the plants were
winter killed, and less injury was not-
ed where calcium was deficient. The
plants treated with excess sulphur
showed less injury than any, followed
by the excess potassium and the ex-
cess calcium groups. Lack of winter
hardiness during winter was associat-
ed more markedly with deficient po-
tassium than with any other treat-
ment, while the complete withdrawail
of phosphorus and magnesium afect-
ed'bud formation in a marked degree,
but the complete withdrawal of cal-
cium and sulphur had little, if any,
