MR HURON EXPOSITOR DISTRICT MATTERS KEEP CHILDREN WELL DURING HOT WEATHER Every mother knows how fatal the hot summer months are to small children. Oholera infantum, diarr- hoea, dysentry, colic and stomach troubles are rife at this time. and often a .precious little life is lost after only a few hours' illness. The mother who keeps Baby's Own Tab- lets in the house feels safe. The oc- casional use of the Talblets prevent stomach and bowel troubles, or if the trouble comes suddenly -as it generally does -the Tablets will bring the baby safely through. They are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25c' a ,box from The Dr. Wil- liams' Medicine Co., Brookville, Ont. CHISELHURST (Too Late for Last Week.) Notes.-"ir, Richard Nicholls, of London, was in this neighborhood visiting friends during last week. - Mr. Bert Vennor is at present fined to the house suffering from a sore knee. It is rather unfortunate coning as it does at such a busy time. It is to be hoped he will make a rapid recovery. -.Harvest is nearing completion, the crops being somewhat lighter than in past years. MAN GIVES WIFE GLYCERINE MIXTURE She had stomach trouble for years. After giving her simple buckthorn bark, glycerine, etc., as mixed in Ad- ler-i-'ka, her husband says: "My wife feelt fine now and has gained weight. It is wonderful stomach medicine." Adler-i-ka acts on BOTH upper and lower bowel, removing four matter which poisoned stomach and which you never thought was in your sys- tem. EXCELLENT for gas on the stomach or chronic constipation. Guards against appendicitis. The impurities it brings'out will surprise you. E. Umbach, druggist. LIGHTNING CLEANSES THE AIR Lightning is extremely healthful, asserts a scientist who has made that his lifetime study. He does not mean that it is healthful to the person lightning strikes. What he means is this: "Lightning produces nitric acid and cleans the whole atmosphere of nox- ious exhalations." Had there never been a flash of lightning upon this earth in all the years of its existence the air now would be so foul that living would be impossible, some scientists say. Husband's Story Will Amaze Seaforth He says: "Adler-i-ka helped my wife for gas on the stomach and sour stomach in TWENTY MINUTES. It works beyond greatest expectations„' Adler-i-ka acts on BOTH upper and Iower bowel removing foul matter which poisoned stomach. Brings out all gasses and sour, decaying food. EXCELLENT for chronic constipa- tion. Guards against appendicitis. Adler -i -Ira removes matter you never thought was in your system and which may have been poisoning you for months. E. Umbach, Druggist. PIPE CLEANER Those who object'to cleaning their pipes in the usual manner may be interested in the method devised by a French doctor. Fill a glass test tube with alcohol and attach it to the mouthpiece of the pipe by means of a rubber tube. Now heat the tube containing the alcohol. In a few minutes the alcohol is boiling; it rises through the attaching tubes and en- ters the pipe. When the greater part of the alcohol has left the tube, this is taken out of the flame; the alcohol cools and flows back into the tube, carrying with it all the impurities it has dissolved. This operation may be repeated several times if the pipe be very foul DEATH IN THE V NG - SHA I BRUSH The menace of the horsehair shay= ing-brush has become an threatening that a movement has been started to prohibit its manufacture by isw. These horsehair brushes have been found to be infected with the gems of anthrax. a peculiarly virulent and fatal malady. These germs live in the bodies of herbivorous animals„ and if the hairs of such animals - particularly the horse -be not pro- perly sterilized, the microbes are transferred to human beings as soon as the brush is put into use. Before the war shaving brushes were made from the hair of cows, goats, badgers, camels and also hu- man hair. During the war horse- hair was used for the sake of cheap- ness. The hair was, not properly sterilised, with fatal resits to many of the users. Anthrax spores are particularly hard to destroy. They resist ordin- ary disinfecting; they will actually pass through tanning and bleaching solutions and still retain their activ- ity. Articles made from hog bristles are not liable to be infected because the process of treatment which they undergo removes the contamination. WAX FROM WEEDS Four million tons of a wax -bearing plant, with an estimated market value of $40,000,000, are waiting annually in Texas for some enterprising per- son to pink them up. This wax -producer is the candelilla end the industry of manufacturing the wax has long been an important one in Mexico. The process of manu- facture is by boiling and steaming, or by 'beating the weed. The wax is then shipped to England, France and other European countries, and to the United States, where it is refined and used in making candles, phonograph records, floor polishes and a variety of other articles. The fibrous residue may be used for the manufacture of paper, but this is still in the experi- mental stage. WHY DO WE SPEAK OF "ROB- BING PETER TO PAY PAUL? To arrive at the origin of this phrase, probably more common in England than it is on tlfis side of the water, we have to go back to the days of the Sixteenth Century when the famous Westminster Abbey in London was St. Peter's Cathedral and a marked rivalry existed between it and St: Paul's. In' 1550 an appropri- ation was made from the funds of St. Peter's Church to make up the deficit which, existed in the parish of St. Paul's and those opposed to the procedure made much of the slogan, "Why rob St. Peter to pay St. Paul?" Some two hundred years later, on the occasion of the death of Wil- liam Pitt, this sentiment again came to the fore, for the two cemeteries were rivals for the honor of the burial place of the famous states- man. The municipality of London claimed that the 'body of Pitt should be interred alongside those of the Kings of England and that to bury him elsewhere would once niece be "robe ing St. Peter to pay St. Paul." Westminster Abbey won the contro- versy. 'but the phrase remained in the language, though it is usually , used without the titles of the two r saints. GOOD PLOUGHING. Ploughing matches in years gone by were common and very interest- ing events. They became less popu- lar as two -furrow and power ploughs came into use, until ploughing threat- ened to become a decadent art. The aim seemed to be to plough the greatest possible area regardless of how the work was performed. Ef- forts are now being made to revive interest in better ploughing. Junior Farmerscompetitions and local mat- ches are being held in many places and an Interprovincial Ploughing Match and Tractor and. Machinery Demonstration is being held 'at Ot- tawa on October 14th, 15th and 16th. Classes are open to boys, young men and mature ploughmen. This will be an educational event, intended to stimulate interest in better plough- ing and better farming. Good plough- ing nearly always means better farm- i ing throughout. Attention should and can be paid to the quality as well as to the quantity of the work. COMMANDER OF IRISH REPUB- LICAN ARMY There is.nothing of the grand com- mander of the Saint Patrick's day parade which every year marches down Main street in every city in America, about Michael Collins, commander of the Irish republican army. He wears no feathers in his hat and no green sash across his chest. What he does wear in his hat are brains -plenty of them-clever,strat- egic brains, 'unheated 'by disturbing hatreds, busy every .minute on the job without emotion. "The man who handles troops," said he the other day, "has no time for hatred of the other fellow. He must beat him. That is all. In war 1 as in a fist, fight hatred will make a man see red, or, possibly, not see at i all, If he sees red Ire sees -inaccurate- ly, which gives the other man a chance, and if he sees not at all then i the other man has all the chances." As a matter of fact, real red -eyed hatred semis to he less eommon than t I had expected upon either side in a Ireland. Collins knows this quite as well as r I do and takes advantage of it. 'Like s all good commanders, he knows that hatred, if it can be aroused among his fighting men, will go far toward causing them to fight with energy, and he tries to arouse it. But it is curious that he almost never mentions England when he starts in to arouse this hatred with one of his extra- ordinarily able and wary often Char- acteristically Irish little speeches. *heA t e O A,avera"i Aflv'were alit elle ole; for ,en doing is to slip tlia thele helot' ireI r meteenavy 9Idl n have-not the real respect a ,the gag li,�b at home by wbosa leaders `aid; have been organised and'sent.

The Irish re- publican army seems not have been organized up to the point of such things -perhaps it is too busy to 'have time to think of them. Mrs. Frances•P. Keyes, wife of the junior United States senator from New Hampshire, besides attending to her social duties in Washington and 'keeping house, manages to write a couple of novels each year and keeps a special article running every month. CANNING VEGETABLES AND FRUITS Al' H')9tE "Canning," as the t,"m is emp:oy- ed newedays, 's commonly applied to the preservation of fns l not only in tin cans, but also in ;;sass jars The cant. are better for commercial use because they are cheaper and can be discarded after being opened, but for domestic use the jars are better, as they are more easily handled and can he used, if riot chipped, year after year only the rubber rings requir- ing 'to be placed annually. Decay of food products is brought about by minute forms of vegetable life moulds, yeasts and bacteria. Canning preserves food .by destroy- ing these and then by excluding them. Their destruction is brought about by subjecting the products and contain- ers for a certain period to a high temperature (at least 212 degrees Fahr.) and their exclusion is achiev- ed by hermetically sealing in the con- tainers immediately 'after steriliza- tion. If the sterilizing and sealing have been properly done, the foods should keep in good condition for months or even years. Steps in the Canning Process. 1. Prepare the canning utensils and jars, Have everything thorough- ly clean and see that the tops of the jars fit properly. 2. Wash the fruits or vegetables carefally. 3. Blanch the product by puttin:; it into a cheesecloth and by dipping in boiling water till the skins are loosened. This step may be dispens- ed with for berries and soft fruits. 4. Immediately after blanching', plunge the product into cold water. 5. Pack the fruit or vegetables into the jars, which should be clean and hot. 6. Add hot water and salt season- ing to the vegetables or hot syrup to the fruits till the jars are full. 7. Put on the tons, hut do not seal tightly. 8. Sterilize. This may be done in an ordinary wash boiler provided with a false bottom, which should al- so be equipped with rims and handles so as to serve as a tray for remov- ing the ,jars. The boiler should be filled with water about half -way up the sides of the jars and the cover of the 'boiler should be tightly shut to retain the steam. The time of sterilization should be counted from the time the water begins to boil ac- tively and it should be kept on the jump till the process is finished. The periods for various food products are ss follows: Strawberries, s minutes; peaches, 17 minutes; othr soft fruits, 12 minutes; hard fruits, 20 minutes; tomatoes, 30 minutes; greens, beets and carrots, 1% hours; peas, beans, and corn, 3 hours. 9. Seal tightly immediately after removal from the sterilizing bath. Invert to test for leaks. .If a leak is discovered sterilization she>Lld be repeated, though not necessarily for the same length of time. Trouble may be saved by making sure that jars are tight before using. 10. Protect the products from light by wrapping the jars in thick brown paper. Label and date. Store in a dark and not too warm a place. ems T'HE CAUSE OF BACKACHE Only in Rare Cases Does Backache Mean Kidney Trouble. Every muscle in the body needs constantly a supply of rich, red blood in proportion to the work it does. The muscles of the back are under a heavy strain and have but little rest. When the blood is thin they lack nourishment, and the result is a sen- sation of pain in those muscles. Some people think pain in the back means kidney trouble, but the best medical authorities agree that backache sel- dtm or never has anything to do with the kidneys. Organic kidney disease may have progressed to a critical point without developing a pain in the back. This 'being the case, pain in the back should always cad the sufferer to look to the con- dition of his blood. It will be found n most cases that the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to build up the blood will stop the sensation of pain n the ill -nourished muscles of the back.
