CHOLERA INFANTUM
Cholera infantum is one of the fatal
ailments of childhood. It is a trouble
that comes on suddenly, especialle
during the summer months, and un-
less prompt action is taken the little
one may soon be beyond aid, Baby's
Own Tablets are an ideal medicine in
warding off this trouble. They regu-
late the bowels and sweeten the stom-
ach and thus prevent all the dreaded
summer complaints. They are an ale-
sclutely safe medicine, being guaran-
teed by a government analyist to con -
tale no opiates or narcotics or other
%armful drugs. They cannot possibly

Tablets are sold by medicine dealers

KING FOR EVER BARRED 'rHE
,HOUSE OF COMMONS
There is one plaee in the kings
dranimens from wiech the King is
forever barred—the house of com-
anon,.
Te meanest of his subjects ratty, on
orriplyirig with certain conditions sit
in the public gallery and listen to the
debates. Rut the sovereign, Ince he
tas escended the throne can do so
at • I, •
t'& r; altho 1;1 as Prince of
Alka:ei, he can, std freetieney does,
come down to the house apd occupy
n seat in the distinguished strangers'
gallery.
Queen Victoria, however, being lit-
tle more than a girl when she ascend-
ed the throne, could only imagine
-.what the interior of her own house
of commons looked like when in ses-
sion, for during her long reign of
over sixty years she never once set
foot inside it.
To appreciate the reason for this
hard and fast rule we must go back
in imagination some hundreds of
years, when kings possessed far more
power than they do at present.
In those days it is quite under-
standable that the presence of the
sovereign might exercise a certain re-
straint upon the members, prevent-
ing them from, speaking their minds
with the necessary freedom.
So jealous are the Commons of this
right that it is against the rules for
the King's name to be even mentioned
in debate.
Once and once only, within histori-
cal times, has the reigning sovereign
see. foot within the British House of
Commons, and then the act cost him
both his crown and his life. This
was when Charles I. forced his way
into the chamber and demanded the

r•.erves are affected and the patient be-
comes worries over trifles,

W FIBRE ARE THE OLD TIME
FIDDLERS? ARE THERE
ANY LEFT IN ONTARIO?
Where are the barn dances?
Are the square dances gone far -
ever?
Have the piano and the phonograph
destroyed the country dances?
Are there any fiddlers left in On
tliTiO ?
A fiddler, mind you. Not a violin
player.
A fiddler sits on a high place, wears
a red handkerchief under his chile
screw a up his face and pats time with
his foot.
He can play the clock around.
He can scrape off twenty-five hoe-
down tunes, each one rushing and
tilling like a crick in April, and not
one of them newer than eighteen
seventy-five. He can keep a floor
full of people on the jump from dark
to dawn with not one note familiar
to a frequenter of city dance halls, or
to the owner of the oldest collection
of phonograph records in the prov-
ince.
How many of them are there left
in Ontario? Do you know of any?
Are there enough of them to hold a
meeting?
The motor car, the piano and the
phonograph have all but exterminat-
ed the fiddlers. When the province
was young, and a man had a fiddle
brought out from the. Old Country,
people would come from fifteen town-
ships to dance to that fiddle at barn
raisings and Christmas celebrations.
When the only instrument in four
townships was the harmonium or
organ, which isn't a dancin' instru-
ment, the fiddle still held the floor as
the great social instrument.
But motor cars that run people in-
to town, pianos that can be bought on
the instalment plan, and, lastly, phon-
ographs which can be got in sizes
suitable to cottage or castle, have
brought the newer dances into the
country places, and the old sociable
dances, the dances that brought the
townships together are passing and
have passed. No backwoods settle-
ment but isn't being exploited as a
summer resort, and where the sum-
mer resort is, the fox trot and the
one step is also.
And many an old fiddler has passed
m and is passing, whose fingers have
not thrilled a reel or a hoe down for
many years.
As you pass down out of the way-
side roads, you will sometimes hear
the remote sounds of a fiddle, not as
you would hear it in towns, slowly
moaning out melancholy tunes, but
all in the upper strings, whistling and
whirring like the wind, a swift, fine
tracery of tune that was made for
feet, to make feat restless, to make
heels long to tap time to them on
wooden floora.
Follow that tune in the lane and
yore will find some old fiddler, setting
p high on some box or fence post,
cad to one side cuddling the fiddle,
ace screwed up, and right foot beat -
ng lustily, and scraping nut "Soli
lier's Joy" or "Worley Musk," or
eme of the scores of famous tunes

Could Not Eat
Cooked Food
Acute digestive troubles ended by
Dreco—London woman's case typi-
cal of the benefits offered by this
splendid remedy.
Mrs. James Weir, of 373 Grey St.,
London, Ont., tells a story that will
strike home with thousands of men
and women, for there are many who
suffer from one or the other ef the
symptoms she describes. They are
due to a weakened condition of the
organs brought about by persistent
indigestion and constipation. Remedy
these two ailments and the whole body
responds. Mrs. Weir will tell you
how Dreco accomplished this desir-
able result in her case.
"For the past year," states Mrs.
Weir, "I have suffered agonies caus-
ed by gastritis. The food I ate lay in
my stomach. It would not digest.
Gas would bloat me and press ageing:
my heart causing palpitation and
shortness of breath and it seemed at
times that I would smother. Fer
months I was unable to eat potatoes
cr meat cooked in any way. Pain
would shot through my back and a-
crsss my kidneys. I couldn't sleep
and dizzy spells often attacked me
and everything seemed to go round in
front of my eyes. It was a fact thet
I hated at times to venture out alone
as I never knew when a gastric or
dizzy spell would attack me. My en-
tire system seemed tired out. I had
no energy and was hardly able to do
my work some days.
"Now, ..after four bottles of Dreco,
I am like a new person. To eat is a
pleasure and I take whatever I wish
with no bad after effects. I havo no
pains or dizzy spells; I can rest just
fine and get up in the mornings feel-
ing refreshed. My neighbors even re-
mark how well I am looking and
gladly do I tell them that Dreco has
brought me these wondrous results.
Dreco gets my praise at every avail-
able opportunity."
Dreco is prepared from herbs, roots,
bark and leaves of established medi-
cinal value and contains no mercury,
potash or habit forming drugs. It
ia a scientific combination of nature's
own.remedies for all disorders of the
stomach, kidney, liver and bowels and
restores them to healthy action in an
entirely natural way.
Dreco is being specially introduced
in Seaforth by Chas. Aberhart, and is
sold by a good druggist everywhere.
WARM LEMON BEFORE SQUEEZ-
ING AND YOU WILL DOUBLE
THE JUICE
It is not generally known that if
a lemon is well warmed before be-
ing cut and squeezed it will yield
twice as much juice as otherwise.
Lemons not required for immediate
use should he kept in a pan of cold
Water in a cool place in order to
retain their freshness.
A tablespoonful of honey mixed
with the same quantity of strained
lemon juice is recommended as aes
excellent cure for a sore throat. Eat
up an egg with a dessert spoonful
of castor sugar, stir in a dessert
spoonful of lemon juice, and drink at
once. This is a good palliative for
speaker's throat
Sonic persons find headaches are
speedily cured by drinking a cup of
fairly strong, freshly -made tee in
which a slice of lemon takes the
place of sugar. Again, if boiled milk

WE had a good Attendance, and aR
were cordially invited to join in the

now very much needed. The closing
words were somewhat as follows:—
"My dear neighbors: I think you

Which of you is going to lead the
rest in taking fast hold if the "latter
rains" are lacking next year?" Some
instructions were added to help them
in this work.
I left on Tuesday, April 10th, and
went to spend a day or two with an
old Highlander and big wife, living
forty miles away. I left confidently

Some months aro Sir Henry Thorn-
ton. President of the Canadian Na-
tional Railways, offered to this Fede-
ration of Young Farmers' Clubs in
Great Britalse four scholarships.
These scholarships comprised a tour
of the Dominion of Canada and
courses of instruction at various
agricultural colleges in this country.
The winners were four English girl
farmers, ranging in age from 14 to 18
years. They have arrived in Canada
and are now on tour. They are ac-
companied by a chaperone. Miss
Wolfe Murray, a journalist of distinc-
tion in England.
Their visit has excited much inter-
est and they have been warmly wel-
comed in all places they have visited.
In Ottawa they were the guests to a
tea in Rideau Hall of His Excellency
'the Governor-General and Lady
Byng, and they were also given an
audience by the Prime Minister, the
Rt. Hon. Mackenzie King. In Quebec,
where they disembarked, they werd
entertained by the Hon. J. E. Caron,
Provincial Minister of Agriculture.
At Montreal they were greeted by Sir
Henry Thornton, donor of the schol-
arships. At Toronto, in the absence
of Premier Drury, they were received
at the Parliament Buildings by the
Hon. R. H. Grant, Provincial Minister
of Education. Side trips included
visits to Macdonald College at St.
Anise's, the Trappist Farm at Oka,
the fruit belt of the Niagara Penin-
sula and Niagara Faits. The party,
which is now in Western. Canada,
travelled across the Great Lakes to
Porth Arthur by the Northern Navi-
gation Company's route.
The youngest member of the party
is Miss Joan Moore, who, although
only 14 years of age, has raised
calves which have won first prizes at
the Loughboro' Calf Show, Leicester-
shire. Miss Moore conies from a

THERE were 1021 forest fires reported in Ontario
last season. The vigilance of the fire rangers kept 53
per cent. of these down to a size not exceeding five acres.
But yet the total area burned was over 346,000 acres—
equal to a strip of forest one mile wide from Toronto
to Cochrane.
Of the total number, only 52 were lightning fires. In
other words, out of every 100 fires, 59 fires were due to
man's carelessness and -were preventable.
Accordingly, the problem of forest protection in
Ontario calls for the co-operation of the whole citizen.
ship of the Province. If reasonable care be exercised
by everyone in the woods to prevent the start of fire. our
forests will be safe. Railway officials, campers, pro-
spectors, lumber firms, settlers, construction firms—all
can help by being careful of fire in the woods, and by
joining hands with the press, the leaders of public,
opinion, and the business men of Ontario, in prompting
educational propaganda to reduce forest fires.
