But as soon as I got used to each kind, I began to get the . same trouble. "Last summer I was on my vaca- tion. They served Kellogg's ALL - BRAN. I just loved it. I eat Kel- logg's ALL -BRAN every morning, and ever since I have not had to take any more laxatives."—Miss Margaret Kesterke. Address on request. *Due to insufficient "bulk" in meals. Tests show Kellogg's ALL-BttaN provides "bulk" to aid elimination. ALL-B1iaN is also rich in vitamin B and iron. The "bulk" in ALL -BRAN is gen- tle. It resists digestion better than the fiber in fruits and vegetables, so it is often more effective. Isn't this food safer than risking patent medicines? Two tablespoon- fuls of ALL -BRAN daily are usually sufficient. If seriously constipated, use with each meal. See your doc- tor, if you do not get relief. Use as a cereal, or in cooking. Sold by all grocers. Made by Kel- logg in London, Ontario. Keep on the Sunny Side of Life property, providing no default has taken place. In the. interim, the com- pany will pay taxes and insurance.— Seaforth Expositor. Horse Under Load of Lumber A horse was completey buried un- der a pile of lumber at the Goderich manufacturing Company's yard on Monday. The horse was one of a team that was pulling a load of lumber. The driver cramped the team in too short a turn and the load of lumber col- lapsed, falling on one animal.

Keine parked his shiny new car at his brother's house and went into the fields to help thresh wheat. When he returned he found an ex- hausted rooster and one side of the car in need of paint. He figured the rooster must have fought his image in the shiny surface.—Durham Chronicle. Disastrous Fire The clang of the fire bell was heard here on Tuesday afternoon when it was discovered that Mr. Joe Hamil- ton's garage was on fire. It seems, Mr. Jas. Scott, the efficient acetylene welder, was working on a job, when in some manner a spark from the torch he was using, started a blaze which made great headway and only for the presence of mind of Mr. Scott in grabbing the tank and rushing out- side with it, averted an explosion that no doubt would have wrecked the whole building and, probably injured some of those around. The firemen very rapidly responded to the alarm and in a very few minutes had streams of water pouring on the flames with the result that the flames were soon under control, but not before consid- erable damage had been done both to the building and also to a stock of implements and repairs owned by Mr. Doherty, who had part of the build- ing. The loss is covered by insuran- ce. This building was erected in 1899 by the late Messrs. Slater & Sims, be- ing used by them as a blacksmith and carriage shop but has been used as a garage for a great many years. It is a solid brick structure, It is hoped that it will be repaired and continue as a place of business.—Blyth Stand- ard. Painfully Injured When Hay Rack Breaks .

While working in his garden the other day he came upon a root of clover that along with the ordinary leaves, had 13 4 -leaf clovers and 3 5 - leaf clovers, which we believe is some- thing real unique.—Lucknow Sentinel. A HEALTH SERVICE OF THE CANADIAN MEDICAL A 9NSURANCE COMPANIES SSOCIATION AND LIFE IN CANADA ��••// TYPHOID FEVER In cities and in armies, typhoid fev- er used to be a common and, fre- quently, a fatal disease. One of the encouraging results of our efforts to prevent disease is the practical elim- ination of typhoid fever from modern cities and, in the Great War, from among the soldiers. This change has taken place under our own eyes so to speak, because having learned of the dangers of im- pure water and dirty milk, we have seen water supplies and milk supplies ,Serve !!1 made clean and safe, followed by the disappearance of typhoid. fever. Why then write about this disease? There are several reason. One is that there must be no let -down of present measures to keep water, milk and food supplies safe, or else the ;disease will return. Another is that while cities are practically free of typhoid fever, this disease continues to occur in the country districts. Typhoid fever cannot be controlled as readily in the country as in the city. It is much easier to purify one central water supply than to secure. proPer protection for hundreds of wells. A city can have its milk sup- ply made safe by pasteurization, but the country dweller keeps on using raw milk. Typhoid fever is difficult to control in the country also because among those who recover from the disease, quite a number become carriers. That is, they continue to pass the germs of typhoid fever in their stools and urine for months and sometimes for years. .Such a person, visiting around in the country, may, if working in the kitchen, .infect food, and will infect the privy which, if not carefully screened, gives access to flies which may soil themselves in the privy and later carry this contamination to the dining -room or kitchen. The privy being infected, the infec- tion may spread to the well unless the latter is properly placed and so constructed as to prevent seepage from the privy. to the well. If 'aid well becomes infected, the infection reaches all the users of the water. Typhoid fever will be banished from rural areas when privies are proper- ly constructed and screened, wells built so as not to be subject to con- tamination, milk pasteurized or boiled in the home, and windows and doors screened to keep out flies, The individual can secure protection r through tyhpoid vaccine sixcIn as was used with success during the Great War.

A TICKLISH MOMENT Crown Attorney Holmes of God- erich, had an unusual and startling ex- perience on Friday night last. He was. enjoying himself sitting peacefully in a deck -chair in his flower garden, of which he is rightfully proud, until he- was ewas beseigcd by a swarm of mosquit- oes and decided to return to the house. He heard his pet cat rustling in the peony bushes, or thought he did, and called the feline, immediately wishing he hadn't. For instead of the house- hold pet a very prettily -marked pole- cat ambled over to the almost paralyz- ed Crown Attorney and proceeded to nuzzle about his feet. lvl:r. Holmes scarcely dared to breathe while the: skunk slowly walked around, but when the animal was a few feet away he- left his deck chair with a scrambling; leap and reached the house in a split second. The Crown Attorney is always; ready with an argument; but for once• he threw up his case without saying; a word. "Dad, when has a fellow horse sense?" "When he can say 'nay', son." "Uncle, you're not married, are you?" "No, dear." "Then who tells you what not to do?"
