JONES, Manager, ARMY DZPO5rr Bf $ FOR RW 'TIE HURON EXPOSITOR •plaTBICr minim GUARD BABY'S HEALTH IN THE SUMMER The summer months are the most dangerous to children. The com- plaints of that season, which are 'cholera infantum, colic diarrhoea and ,dysentry, come on so quickly that often a little one is beyond aid be- fore the mother realizes he is ill. The mother must be on her guard to pre- vent the,,s� troubles, or if they do come orti suddenly to banish them. No other medicine is of such aid to mothers during hot weather . as is Baby's Own Tablets. They regulate the stomach and bowels and are ab- solutely safe. Sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box ,from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. WASHING SILK STOCKINGS Silk stockings should be soaked for two hours in cold water before being worn for the first time. When soiled, prepare a lather of soap flakes and warm wat6r. Turn the stockings inside out, and leave to soak for a few minutes. Squeeze in and out of the water, turn right side out very carefully, and squeeze in the lather once more before rins- ing in two lots of warm water and finally in cold. Don't wring out, but arrange loose- ly on a towel, in a breeze, but not in the sun. FARM LABORERS WANTED It is estimated that to harvest this year's bumper crop in Manitoba, Sas_ katchewan and Alberta, it will re- quire immediately more men than usual. The Canadian Pacific has arranged and'is advertising usual special fare o1 $15.00 to Winnipeg, and will run special trains from Toronto August 11th, 14th, 21st and 23rd. These trains carry special coaches for wo- men and children. See any Canadian Pacific agent for full details. RENOVATING LEATHER It is very disconcerting to find the sunshine showing up the shabby places in a comfortable leather arm- chair, and when there are several well worn arms and seats the effect ruins the most charming room. If you treat the worn part in time, the life of the leather covers can be prolonged. Tint the parts which have lost color with water col- or, taking care that the paint is fairly thick. Allow to dry quite thoroughly, and then brush over with white of egg. Sometimes parts of the armchair or Chesterfield have an almost greasy appearance, which is as bad, if not worse, than actual wear. Try rubbing the soiled parts with a piece of clean flannel dipped in ether. This should be done away from the light, and the bottle kept corked when not :actually pouring out the liquid. Suede bags may also be cleaned in this way. If the housewife suf- fers with heart weakness, she shoul4 depute someone else to do the clean- ing, as the ether fumes are not pleas- ant. (, "HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY" This famous saying of Benjamin Franklin's has so often proven true that it is now generally realized that honesty is the only basis on which a really successful business may be built. Honesty has been the guiding policy of The Salada Tea Company since 1892, when the business was founded. Honest Quality, Honest Value, and , Honest Representation through advertisements, have com- bined tie make more people use "SALADA" tea daily than any other tea sold in North America. If you -do not use it now, a trial package from your Grocer will convince you that it is the most delicious tea on the market. Ask for it to -day.

Neuralgia is the cry of the nerves for more and better blood. It means that the nerves are being starved. Like every other part of the body the nerves receive their nourishment through the blood. There is there- fore no doubt that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills will prove beneficial even in ex- treme cases of neuralgia. These pills increase and enrich the blood supply, carrying to the nerves the elements they need, thus driving away the sharp, torturing pains which nearly drive the sufferer wild. The benefit given by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills in cases of this kind is shown by the case of Miss Carrie V. Fletcher, Ray_ enscliffe, Ont., who says:—"As the result of -a severe wetting I got while out in a rain storm, I was attacked with neuralgia, from which I suffer- ed greatly, and which kept me awake night after night. Although the pain diminished somewhat, I began to suf- fer in other ways. My appetite was poor; I got thin and had no energy'. Indeed, I was becoming a wreck of my former self. I was advised to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and I am more than glad that I followed the advice, for they have restored me to my old time strength. I cannot recommend the pills too highly and; hope other persons in poor health will give them a fair trial." You can get these pills through any dealer in medicine or by mail post- paid at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.

He was taken to a hospital. -----.0---- WALTER FAMILYi HAS RELIN_ QUISHED THE TIMES Announcement has been made of the sale by the Walter family of its remaining interest in the London Times for the sum of $1,000,000. The purchaser was Lord Northcliffe and Northcliffe, or persons near to him, are now the sole proprietors of the paper which is generally admitted to be the greatest in the world. For generations, perhaps from its founding in 1785, the Times was not by the general public regarded as a paper expressing the views of any particular man. It was supposed to express the views of the ruling class, evert the views of the nation. Since it came under the control of Lord Northcliffe it has naturally been identified with him and his policies, and his rivals and enemies have sought to convince the public gener- ally that the Times has lost its old character. But for five generations the Times has remained in the fancily of the man who founded it. The Walter who disposed of his interest to Lord Northcliffe is John, the great -great- grandson of the John Walter who established the Times. The original John Walter was a printer, who had had experience in bookselling and publishing before he conceived the idea of a newspaper, which he called the Universal Register. If he had the ambition of making his paper famous it was because he had become an enthusiast concerning a new print- ing device which was called logogra- phy. This was the invention of a compositor, whom he afterward em- ployed. It consisted in casting en- tire words in metal instead of sep- arate letters. He had supposed that much time and trouble would be say_ ed by this method, but this proved to be an illusion. The mistakes that appeared were not those of misplac- ed letters, which any intelligent reader would understand and mentally correct, but those of words that ought not to have been used. For some time John Walter clung to the method and then abandoned it thereafter giving his attention to making the Universal Register, a paper that would have its appeal without faddish inventions. But, after all, inventions were to prove the very lifeblood of the Times, for the second Walter, the man who really made the Times, was easily the most enterprising news- paperman of his day. He smuggled news from the continent because the Government regularly delayed his letters and packets while delivering those addressed to his rivals which supported the Government with great punctuality. His most notable in- vention was that of the steam print- ing press, or rather this was the invention which he was the first to apply to newspapers. He knew of course, that his printers would object to any such labor-saving de- vice, and that a premature an- aouncement wou1,i have meant a strike and the crippling of his plant. So one morning nf'er the printing of the paper had been delayed, presumably because of the failure of news,,Oo arrive from the continent, John Walter II. suddenly appeared in the pressroom and announced that the day's issue had been print_ ed by steam almost next door. He told the printers thathe would give them their wages until they could find something el -u to do or until he could absorb their surplus into his business. He also told them that violence had heen anticipated. The original Walter had made the discovery that a newspaper is likely to thrive better when it f .els free to attack a Government. than when it feels restrained from doing so. Before his Universal Register was two years old he had inserted a para- graph. which gave grave offence to the Duke of York. and, acting on the old principle that "the greater the truth the greater the libel," he had been convicted and sent to prison for sixteen months. For that period the Universal Register was edited from Newgate. By the time the or- iginal Walter had served his sentence he found that, while -his paper had gained considerable popularity, it was being confused with several other Registers, and that is the reason he rechristened it "The Times and tIni- versal Register." it was not long before the public had forgotten all about the Register, and the Walter to the paper was known as the Times, a cable metaitleas anonosyllable name, that bap bid more than a, little to do with and its fame.

FLAX -GROWING IN CANADA The interim report of the chief officer of the Division of Economic Fibre Production of the Dominion Experimental Farms indicates that the growing of flax in Canada has made very considerable progress in recent years. The report covers the year 1920-21. The ideal conditions for the grow- ing of flax are a moderate and tem_ 1 perste climate coupled with the humid breezes such as are usually encoun- tered in the proximity of a water coast. During the last few years ex- periments have been carried on to determine which districts of Canada.' are suitable for flax fibre culture. These experiments have shown that the fibre obtained from flax grown on the Experimental Farms in the western part of British Columbia, in Ontario, the valley of the St. Lawr- ence, and the Maritime Provinces, is first class in quality, comparing fav- orably with the best 'grades of Irish or Belgian fibre. Especially gratify- ing is the fact that spinning tests have proved that from Canadian fibre can be manufactured the finest linen damasks.
