GIVES:EXPERI�N sf it as "I'm a World War veteran and served overseas for three and a half years with the 58th Battalion of Can- adian Infantry. I was wounded and gassed in action, and have been a sick znan ever since I came out of the WILLIAM CORMACK service. I spend many a hard-earn- ed dollar trying to get back my health, lout I don't believe I ever would have gotten back my health if a friend of mine in Minneapolis hadn't started me on this new Sargon medicine by sending me two bottles. "The 'gas' I got overseas had just about shot my system to pieces. Many a day I'd get so weak and nervous I'd just have oo quit work and go Home. Indigestion and constipation were always giving me trouble, in spite of the laxatives and medicines 1 took almost evdry night, and some- times bad dizzy spells would come over me. I couldn't sleep good; kept losing weight steadily and became mighty discouraged over my condi- tion. "I noticed such a big improvement after those first two bottles of Sar- gon my friend sent me, that when I found out I could get this new medi- cine in' Toronto, I went down to Tamblyn's Drug Store and bought two more bottles. I feel like a new man now and my weight has increased from 140 to 150 pounds! My whole system is strengthened and toned up, and I can eat anything that's put be- fore me without having a sign of in- digestion or dizziness afterwards. Pm not nervous either but sleep good ev- ery night and my work is a real. pleas- ure. Instead of being 'fagged out' at the end of the day, I feel just about as fresh and fit as when I started. "I also took the Sargon Soft Mass Fills and they're a valuable part of the treatment. They don't upset me .at all .and got my bowels regulated so good that I hardly ever have to take them any more. "My wife has now started the treat- ment and is already looking lots bet- ter. I've recommend it to any num- ber of my friends and I haven't heard of anybody yet that Sargon • didn't help. I'nl always glad to talk to those who want to ask me about this great medicine." The above straightforward state- ment was made decently by William Cormack, well known contractor of 537 McRoberts Ave., Toronto. Sargon may be obtained in Seaforth from Charles Aberhart. FLINT BANK LOOTERS NOW IN PENITENTIARY It is a pleasure to dissipate the no- tion that wealthy offenders against the laws of the United States invar- iably go free while the mere under- lings are punished. A few days ago 12 former officials of the Union In- dustrial Bank in Flint, Michigan, left for the penitentiary where they have been sentenced to an aggregate of 240 years. How they conduct them- selves in prison will determine What percentage of the two and a half cen- turies they will serve. But their punishment has been swift and prob- ably adequate. They have been strip- ped of their possessions, robbed of ;)? their good na'enes. Their high social positions have been destroyed. To flog them with a cat -o' -nine tails would hardly add to their degrada- tion. Nearly all of them were prom- inent in the community. Some of them were leaders. One was an in- defatigable teacher of a Sunday school. Another was the chief of 33oy Scouts. They were patriots and model citizens. Those who did not figure opulently in the public eye were devoted husbands and indulgent fa- thers whose most exciting diversions consisted in planting flowers and lis- tening to the radio. Among these scoundrels there was not a single ere'er do weal. Their total defalcations amounted to nearly $3,700,000, of which the bank was able to recover about a million and a quarter, leaving the net loss of slightly less than $2,500,000. They were caught in the collapse of the stock market, and it seems possible FOR GAS, ACID STOMACH, INDIGESTION Risurated Magnesia Is -,afe and Reliable If you are a victim of Stomach Trouble—Gas, Sourness, Acidity, Pain or Bloating after eating, Bisurated Magnesia is made for you.

It seems that they did consider then whether they should not square their accounts with the bank, for considering that they were the chief officers it 'would have been easy for them to conceal a shortage of $19,000 until they could have made it up out of their salaries, some of which were ample. Indeed for years they concealed shortages amounting to hundreds of thousand's of dollars. On one occasion -the bank passed through a local consolidation and its assets were closely examined by several trained business men, Yeit though the bank was hundreds of dollars short the fact was not detected. From the vice-president down to the assistant teller it seems that near- ly every official was in some way or other involved. The thieves were thus fortified at all points. For some transactions they kept no (books at all. For others they forged signatures and tise bank examiners would be permiteed to examine notes for large amounts from highly solvent custom- ers which the customers had never seen. Otherwise the books were in perfect condition and time and again passed the scrutiny of bank examin- ers. For months the gang sought further protection by keeping scouts posted at the chief hotels in Flint in order that warning might be given of the unexpected' presence of a bank examiner in the city. The frauds be- gan in 1926, and apparently half a dozen of the officers, unknown at first to each other, began to make unau- thorized use of the bank funds. The practice was to buy stocks and hold them for an advance. Speaking gen- erally, advances were sure to come in those days if the stockswere held long enough and the first transactions gave them a profit. Gradually the officers got to know about each other's transactions, and though for some time they did not formally unite to plunder the bank, they gave each other tacit protection. Originally there was no thought of theft. It was merely a matter of borrowing funds and returning them when the market permitted, which the market did very generously for "some considerable 'time. But they made some badguesses and in a gen- eral bull market they had the bad luck to plunge heavily on stocks which they thought they had special information about. Losses accumu- lated and early in 1928 there was a kind of show -down among the leading pilferers. They determined to pool their ventures thenceforth. Occasion- ally they would meet in each other's homes to discuss the results of the day's gambling and lay plans for the morrow, but generally they met af- ter banking hours in the directors,' of • five. They had their successes and their reverses ,but• the nearest they got to being out of the hole was to- ward the end of last summer. When the break in the market came they de- cided it was merely a temporary set- back and proceeded to pick up a lot of bargains. On subsequent reflection they de- cided that they had picked up a lot of poison ivy but they were so deeply committed that they had to double their stakes. But the market was again against them. One of the num- ber came panic.stricken and said that he would inform the directors. This led to the calling of an emerg- ency meeting. The matter was debat- ed and by this time the uppermost thought in the minds of the gang was the imminence of states prison and the desirability of holding their jobs. They concluded that if they made a limited confession the directors would keep them in their positions for fear the bank 'would suffer. So they informed Clarence S. ,Mott, vice-president of General Motors and holder of 25 pe. cent. of the bank's stock, that they had misappropriated funds to the ex- tent of $800,000. They begged for consideration. Mott said that every one of them should be discharged im- mediately, and the information laid before the police. He also summoned up his private finanoial reserves and in armored trucks a million dollars in cash was brought from Detroit. Fur- ther investigation revealed further discrepancies and these were made good toy more armored vans. Mx. Mott paid every dollar of indebtedness and is credited with having saved not only the bank but the financial situa- tion in Flint. Naturally enough he was elected the new president of the bank as the former officers departed under. police guard for the nearest penitentiary. �.r ePe of,. seieS 'the Sep- PREPARING DAYTONA BEACH FOR WORLD SPEED TRIALS As the initial step in a campaign for restoring the tide -ironed beach on which more straightway automobile speed records have been made to its former glory, and for the purpose of increasing the number of American and European entrants in varied ev- ents from year to year, Mayor B. B. Baggett and the city commissioners of Daytona Beach have named Val H'amesnape, former secretary of the contest board of the American Auto- mobile Association, as director of the international speed trials of March 15th to 30th. This action was taken with the un- derstanding that Mr Tlaresnape, whose wive -yea's connection with the contest board made h' ' a world - known authority on sn•r•^'l tests and competitive racing, wont' serve for an indefinite p^.ried ' devote his time to increasing the F^ope and var- iety of' the anneal e,.

That being the eve, the intrepid Briton -American who al- so wears the world's speed boat crown is almost certain to return in the hope of regaining lost laurels. From 68 miles an hour, negotiated on the beach in 1903 by Alexander Winton, driving the 'Winton Bullet," to over 231 mile's in the same space of time, accomplished by Segrave in 1929, is indeed a far cry for even the present era of speed. During the first decade of the cen- tury, when auomobile racing was "all the go," the great beach accommo- dated as many as 80 racing cars, driven by notables, at one meeting, and was the gathering place of the elite of two continents and, in some instances, of the orient. Among the drivers of that period were William K. Vanderbilt, 'Henry Ford, E. R. Thomas, Alexander Winton, Walter Christie arsd Barney Oldfield, United States; A. C. McDonald, Clifford- Earpe, England; Victor Demogoet, Victor Hemery, Leon Duray, Gaston Chevrolet, France; Cedrino and Lan- cia, Italy; Charles Schmidt, Germany, and Joseph Heller of Belgium.

DO NOT LET YOUR BABY SUFFER Baby's Own Tablets Are Just the Help He Needs. At the cost of a few cent's every mother can add to her own happi- ness and to her children's safety, for, while the cast of Baby's' Own Tab'le'ts is small the value of these Tablets to every home where there are little ones is exceedingly great. What mother does not suffer when her little ones are suffering—when they are undergoing the tortures of the teething period; the agonies of constipation and indigestion, or the miseries brought on by colds or sim- ple fevers? What mother can sleep when her child does not sleep? She can ibanish these troubles, however, and in banishing them she is making a happy household, for the happy child makes everyone else happy. To banish childhood suffering Baby's Own Tablets should always be kept in the home. They are re- cognized the world over as an abso- lutely safe and efficient remedy for little ones. They are a mild but thorough laxative and through their action on the stomach and 'oowels never fail to banish any of the minor ills of little ones. They are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Med:tine Co., Brockville, Ont, TUCKERSMITH School Report.—The following is the school report of School Section No. 10, Tuckersmith, for the month of January.
