Bennett Takes Stand on Currency Ottawa—With his French Conserv- ative following- wavering under the menacing thrust from the Liberal Party, Prernier Bennett in the Com- mons declared the Government would "stand or fall" on the issue of biling- ual currency, and led his followers to a defeat of a Bank of Canada amend- ment presented earlier by Hon, Ern- est Lapointe.

Hampshire Sunk by Two German Agents Halifax—The sinking of the Brit- ish cruiser, Hampshire, which carried Field Marshal Lord Kitchener, Com- mander-in-chief of the British Armies in the war, to the bottom of the North Sea, was caused by two German Sec- ret Service agents, masquerading as members of the crew, according to an intriguing story' told in Halifax by Captain Eustazy Borkowski, com- mander of the Polish liner Kos- ciuszko. Large Tumor Removed from Woman Kingston—A tumor weighing 55 pounds was removed from a woman by the Kingston General Hospital staff. It was believed to have been the largest tumor ever removed by operation on a human being. The woman, aged 41, weighed 115 pounds when she entered hospital. Re- moval of the tumor and its fluid con- tent reduced her weight to 60 pounds houses was reported in many districts.

Sherrif P. S. MacDonald has been told by medi- cal advisers, says the Daily Mail, to take a three months' holiday from his official work as soon as possible. The Prime Minister hopes to get away from home within a few days, poss- ibly within a few days, possibly go- ing to Lossiemouth for a few weeks and then on a cruise in the Mediter- ranean or possibly across the Atlantic. Would Abolish Office of Governor-General Dublin—President Eamon de Val- era told the Dail Eireann that "we would abolish the office of Governor- General tomorrow"- were it not for certain obligations in the Free State treaty and Constitution. Mr. de Val- era said the Government hoped ulti- mately to abolish the office. He thought the functions of the Gover- nor-General "ridiculous" and the title "obnoxious" to the Irish people. Elected Grand Master of LO.O.F. W. A.

Hughes of Newton, said he had not learned the identity! of the lynch crowd, but he planned to start a thor- ough investigation at once, assisted by officers from nearby cities. Bank Robbers Escape Blackstock, Ont.—Police sought two men who held up and robbed of $4000 the Canadian Bank of Commerce branch here and then escaped in an automobile while the bank staff vain- ly yelled an alarm. Authorities were impressed by the coolness with which the men executed their coup and the manner in which they rectified what appeared to have been the only over- sight in their plans. The robbery occurred during broad daylight. The men entered the bank, bound the manager and teller and placed them onthe floor while they gathered up the money. Subsequent- ly one of them left the bank and drove across the steeet to buy 10 gallons of gasoline for their car. He paid for the gas and signalled his companion who had remained behind guarding the helpless bank officials. His compan- ion ran across the street and climbed into the car which sped away toward Bowmanville, 15 miles southward. Payroll Robbery • Hamilton—All district and highway police officers were on the the look- out Friday night for the car used by a trio of armed bandits. who held up W. H.

To Talk Over Meat Pacts • London—Talks between the Brtish Government and representatives of the meat -producing Dominion—Aus- tralia and Canada particularly—oe the Ottawa pacts was opened here on June 27th. The meat clauses of the agreements signed at the Imperial Ec- onomic Conference in 1932 are due to expire at the end of this month, and. a basis for continuance or revision, probably the latter, must be found. NEWS of the 'STRICT One Shot—Three Groundhogs While out shooting groundhogs on Saturday evening last, Mr. Les. Grice, 14th con., Minto township, shot and killed three groundhogs with one bul- let from his .22 rifle. We think this will go as a record of some kind. Mr. Grice was fifty-five yards away when he took aim and brought the three animals down with one shot—Har- . riston review. Robber Gets 35 Cents LETTER FROM A MAN OF 90 About His Rheumatism He asks us to excuse his writing. Wo do more than that --we congratu- late him on being able to write at all at his age, especially as he has been suffering from rheumatism, This is what he says in his letter:— "Three years ago I was in bed for six weeks with inflammatory rheum- atism, Since that time I have been taking Kruschen Salts, and have not had another attack. But my hands are still somewhat stiff. I take Kruschen every morning before breakfast, and shall continue to do so, because I am sure it has kept me in good shape for three years. Excuse this writing, as I am ninety years old, and use both hands to write."—J, R. G. Kruschen dissolves away those needle -pointed crystals of uric acid which are the cause of all rheumatic troubles. It will also flush these dis- solved crystals clean out of the sys- tem. Then if you keep up "the little daily dose," excess uric acid will nev- er form again. a turkey which was paying close heed to a groundhog's burrow some 200 yards from the house. A short time later the onlookers were surprised to observe a full-grown red fox slinking up from behind on the apparently un- suspecting turkey.—Mildmay Gazette. Found Pearl In Clam Shell While opening clams recently, Gor- don Green noticed a peculiar forma- tion in one of the shells, and upon taking it to Brillinger's Jewel Store, was surprised to have Mr. Brillinger classify it as a fresh -water pearl of an unusually smooth and regular form ation.

Election Crowd Break Plate Glass An incident of the election night celebration here was the smashing of the big plate window on the western front of Kerr & O'Bright's men's wear store. A huge crowd, which had foregathered to hear the returns as they came over the ticker at Ernest's brokerage office a few doors eastward has had a varied career including that of printer newspaperman, traveller, banker and, on one occasion, a can- didate for parliamentary honors. — Goderich Star. Horse Crashes Window Herb Cranston, who drives for Al- lison & Heitman, left his horse for a moment in front of O'Brien's butcher shop on West street. As he entered the shop the horse turned and started away. Mr. Cranston noticed it going and called to it but the more he call- ed the faster it went, In a moment or two it was running and didn't stop until it had crashed through the front window of Harry Mitchell's grocery store at the corner of Britannia and Bayfield roads,—Goderich Signal. Wheels 91 Miles to Cast First Vote Mr. Harry Jennings, a student as- sistant of the Anglican Church at Pt. Elgin for the =Iner months, wheel- ed to Exeter to cast his first vote.

Turkey Proves a Fighter The unusual spectacle of a turkey driving a hungry red fox to shelter it)a neighborhood bush lot, is vouch- ed for by Mr, Walter McGill, who was at eye -witness of the incident, which occurred on the farm of Mr. Herb. Thompson, 8th t011SSioll. of Frain Township, While conversing with the latter in the Thompson yard, Mie McGill'e attention was drawn to A prolific Herd While it has been fairly held that living objects go out of this world in cycles of three, it must also be con- ceded that the coming in events occur on the same basis, at least a certain farmer has reason to pin his faith on the soundness of the latter theory, and that agriculturist is Mr. Oscar Tan- ner, residing on the former Shaw farm on the eastern suburbs of the town. A sensation was created on this rural property recently when three cows of Mr. Tanner's Shorthorn herd gave birth to twin calves each—Walkerton Herald -Times. A Lucky. Escape 'What might have resulted in a fatal accident, happened when Doreen, 4 - year -old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Connel, darted from behind a Parked car on Main Street and ran directly in the path of a moor car driven by Mr. James McMillan of Minto 'Township, The unfortunate child was able to walk home, which was a short distance from where the accident occurred'and Mrs. Connell at once summoned a doctor, who after examining the little girl found that no bones were broken. The extent of her injeries were outs on her arm and head together with numerous bruise.e. --Pahnerstoe Observer. NO Strike at Present A strike of Toronto street -railway employees was averted on Saturday night, when General Manager D. W. Harvey, acting for the Cominission, and the Negotiating Committee of the union accepted a proposal put forward by C. R. McKeown, Chairman of the Optarie IVItialeipal Board, The proposal of Chairman Mc, KeOwn, which was accepted by the Commission and by the Union's Ne- gotiating Committee by a 7 to 1 vote, was that the seventy men who were laid off after the appointment of the Board of Conciliation should be res - toted to the Commission's payroll for one month and that wages remain an - disturbed for the same period. The Municipal Board undertook to render a finding not later than Aug. lst. ALLERGY It is a fact that you may have a running nose, or swollen spots on your skin,' or that you may struggle for breath, all from the same cause. To put. this fact in other words, we might say that hay fever, asthma and hives and other skin disorders are re- lated one to the other in that they all represent a reaction which is known as allergy. The pollen of some grasses will cause hay fever; a strawberry may bring out a crop of hives and a fea- ther pillow be responsible for an as- thmatic attack, all because some peo- ple have a peculiar sensitiveness to certain substances which have no ef- fect upon the vast majority of per- sons. When called upon to deal with such cases, the doctor assumes the role of a detective, with the hope that he may discover the particular substance or substances to which his patient is sen- sitive. To assist him in this, he will use certain tests. These tests consist of rubbing into a light scratch on the arm an extract of the suspected substance. If a num- ber of substances are under suspic- ion, then a series of scratches are made, one for each substance. At the point which has been rubbed with the substance to which the person is sen- sitive, a wheal will appear. In practice, it is not alway as sim- ple as this because the person is, as a rule, sensitive to more than one substance, and there are so many to which he may be sensitive, that it is not easy, in many cases, for the doc- tor to find the culprit. Knowing the responsible substance, it may be possible to avoid it when it is an article of food, a feather pil- low, or dandruff from a horse. If, however, it is something like milk or eggs, it is difficult to eliminate these from the diet, and again, if pollens are TWO GREAT DICTATORS MEET IN VENICE •Oiee.!eeir,e,,!!!e! Dictators Adolf Hitler, of Germany, and Benito Mussolini, of Italy, as they met at the airfield at Venice, on June 14. Mussolini and his Fascists put on a great show for the German leader, but of the details of their sub- 1sequent conversations there was little news. Generally, however, their meet- ing was promulgated in an atmosphere I,of great pomp and ceremony, the Fas- cists joining in the spirit of the thing. responsible, necessity may keep a hay fever victim working in a district where these abound. Forthnately, something- may be done to overcome this sensitivity. Through a series of injections, in pro- per doses, the person who is sensitive to pollens may be —desensitized, pro- vided the responsible pollens have been recognized. Tolerance to foods may be built up by gradually increas- ing from the most minute amounts, such as one single drop of milk for example. The real purpose of this article is to bring to the attention of our read- ers, the manner in which such cases are properly dealt with by discovering and removing the cause. Obviously, it is a waste of money to take medicines_ to overcome a condition that is due to allergy or sensitiveness.
