weak I couldn't walk half a block
without resting, and actually had to
/crawl up the steps on my hands' and
knees. I suffered with biliousness and
rheumatismand could hardly sleep at
all . on, account of 'nervousness. Six
bottles of Sargon have put me in as
line physical condition as any many
any age, and all my ,ailments have dis-
appeared.
"Sargon Pills put my liver active
and gave me my first lasting relief

'Sargon may be obtained in Seaforth

LATE COL. GRASF,TT A FINE
CHIEF CONSTABLE
It was as a policereporter some 30
years ago that we met the late Col.
Grasett for the, first time, and since
then we have always thought of him
in the lines, admiring if not 'altogether
respectful, that Kipling used about an-
other soldier-
"Thhere's a little red faced man,
--Which is Bobs."
The late Chief Constable was a man
of perhaps ordinary dimensions but
surrounded as he nearly always was
by .burlypolicemen he looked smaller,
and this lack of stature made him con-
spicuous. It would be, difficult and
invidious to say who was the best
chief or police Toronto ever had, but
it ieesimple justice to say that Col.
Grasett held a position in the eyes
of the force that none of his suc-
cessors is likely to have. The men re-
garded him with mingled awe and
respect. One reason was, perhaps, a
snobbish one. 'He came from 'a differ-
ent social stratum. He was, in the old
fashioned sense of the word, a gentle-
man. We doubt if there was ever a
man who served under Co. H. J. Gras-
ett who entertained the democratic,
not to say Bolshevik, notion that .he
'was as good as the chief constable.
Certainly none of the older men who
.bec'aree 'office43j ever indulged this
fantastic idea.
We do not suppose that he ever
arrested anyone in his life, though we
have a vague memory that he em-
barked upon this enterprise once in
Queen's Park, only to be hurriedly re-
lieved of his prisoner by several scan-
dalized policemen, who presumably
felt much as court attendants would
feel if they saw the King struggling
with a piece of furniture. We recall
one personal contact with Col. Grasett
which will indicate the discipline he
imposed upon the officers under him,
and to which they submitted as
soldiers' may have submitted to the
Duke. of 'wellington. There was a fire
on King Street west one night and
with some other reporters, we were
on the scene, watching the flames
from a doorway across the street. A
police inspector was moving the crowd
along and came to the group of re-
porters. "Move on," he said. We de-
clined to move on and explained that
we were reporters. We were also, as
he was to learn if the facts were not
visible, very young and very dignified
reporters. He disregarded our protests
for it may be that he did not know
any of us, and even when we produc-
ed our police p'a'sses, signed by the
Chief Oonsta.bl'e, he ignored them, and
we were escorted beyond the police
lines.

inspector,.. who was, IS a, matter of
fact; one of the best on thieforee, but
we •felt; too, ,that. the rights of the
press had been 'vindicated. e
For ,many 'years the chief of staff
for Col., Grasett was•tihe late Deputy
Chief 'Stewart; 'universally . referred
to on the force as the "depitty." He
was a North of Ireland martinet,
straight as a rush throughout his six
feet two or three inches and enjoying
boundless popularity on the force. But
many times we have • sat with police-
men in stables or in front of station
houses when either the chief or the
deputy passed. In fact one did not
need to look up to see'which of them
was passing. He could judge by the
panic-stricken, haste of the men to
scramble to their feet and button their
tunics when the chief constable was
near. Rarely did he speak , to the
men. Pe merely gave a quick glance
at then, and ruddy countenances
would show the pallor of guilt because
of an appearance of slackness that
was obnoxious to his military eye. It
was the depitty that disciplined the
rank and file! Not often was one of
tlenepermitted a 'tremulous audience
of the great little man himself. Yet
it. was the Ohief Constable whose
glare or presence could reduce them
to confusion and panic.
The late Col. Grasett was a com-
panion -in -arms and a life-long friend
of the late George Taylor Denison,
w'ho with the late Judge McDougall
and afterwards for many years with
Judge Morson, formed the police com-
mission. The mayor was an ex -of-
ficio member of the board but mayors
come and go while the judge and the
magistrate• remained as something
permanent•in the world of the Toron-
to policeman. We do not recall any
appeals sof a member of the force ov-
er. the Ihe.ad of the chief constable to
the board. While Col. Grasett was
theef there was no talk about promot-
ing a man from the ranks to head the
force on the ground that he would
have a better knowledge of police
work, because it would have been dif-
ficult for any member of the force to
name another ,member whom he
thought Sit for the job. The late chief
constable, while firm with the men,
was fair. He was courteous to the
general public and under him t h e
policemen were never permitted to
forget that after all the taxpayers
paid their salaries and maintained
them.

bt is natural for children to be
happy, active and full of fun. When
they are fretful, fussy and disinclined
to •play you may he sure something
is wrong. Almost invariably that
something lies in the digestive tract.
It is to meet the need for an abso-
lutely safe corrective of childhood ail-
ments that Babyrysl Own Tablets have
been designed. They gently regulate
the stomach and bowels and thus drive
out constipation and indigestion; break
up colds and simple fevers and allay
teething pains. Concerning them
Mrs. W. E. Forsyth, Dover, N. B.,
writes:—"I would not be without
Baba's Own Tablets as I know of
nothin'g to equal them for fretful,
fussy babies who are troubled with
colds or sour stomach."
Baby's Own Tablets are sold by
medicine dealers or by mail at 25
cents a box from The Dr. Williams'
Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.
O.A.C. Scholarships.
Between 50 and 60 scholarship win-
ners who are among the freshmen
class which enrolled recently for the
fall term at the 0",A.C,, Guelph, are
to have their fees remitted, according
to instructions issued by Hon. Thomas
L. Kennedy, ;Minister. of Agriculture.
The saving to the students will be
$1;000 it is estimated. Among the
scholarship students are 15 farm boys
who won two years' tuition at the
college—the gift of a large Toronto
merchandisingi firm. These particu-
lar scholarships carry with them a
cash prize of $100 to be paid over the
school term. The 15 boys in question
were selected from the 500 young
farmers who attended the Royal Win-
ter. Fair last fall and wrote essay ex-
aminations on what they saw and did
while there.
