CHILDHOOD SUFFERING
Can Be Banished With Baby's Own
Tablets.
At the cost of a few cents every
mother can add to her own happiness
and to her children's safety. While
the cost of Baby's Own Tablets is
small the value of, •keeping them in
the home is great.
What mother does not suffer when
her little one suffers—when they are
undergoing the tortures of the teeth-
ing 'period; the agonies of constipation
and indigesition or the miseries
brought on by colds? What mother
can sleep when her child does not 1
sleep? She can banish these troubles,
however, and in banishing them make'
a happy household for the happy child
makes everyone else happy..
To banish childhood suffering
Baby's Own Tablets are needed. They
regulate the .stomach and bowels and
thus soon put baby right again. They
are sold by medicine dealers or by
mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr.
Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville,
Ont.

As this group sizes up the situation,
the first quarter of the. year will not
be particularly active from the buying
standpoint. 'On. the. contrary, its trend
is expected-tobe steady and subatan-
tia],, with low first ,quarter, tlta total
for the year will be Affected despite
the anticipated acceleration of the re.
mining three. That is what the in-
dustry believes.
One of the best qualified authori-
ties within the motor ear field declares
that the industry will sell 4,500,000
Milts if it could substitute for the
first quarter 'of this year, the first
three months of 1932. In other words,
from March to March of next year he
thinks the figures quite reasonable.
The general disposition is to put
the estimate somewhere between the
minimum figure quoted above and the
maximum. That means in the neigh-
borhood of 4,000,000 ears, an increase
of approximately 15 per cent. over
the past year. •
Did you know that an ignition sys-
tem has been developed which varies
the advancing and retarding of the
spark to meet variations in engine
load as well as in engine speed In
other words, the spark varies to fit
conditions existing as in climbing 'a
hill when the throttle is wide open
but the engine is moving slowly un-
der a heavy load.

Evidence • indicates that the first
steam automobile built in this coun-
try was in operation in 1857. It still
can be made to run.

New cars are showing something
of a trend toward larger gasoline
tanks, especially down in that sector
where fuel reservoirs have been smal-
lest.
Two habits that probably will not
be changed radically by the larger
tanks are those of running out of gas
and saying "five gallons, please.”
* * *
The pessimist is wrong. Black is
back as a favorite motor car color
because it goes ideally with simple
lines and not because the industry is
in mourning . . . In the produc-
tion of cars from now on the auto-
mobile industry will try to see how
many consumers it can produce by
wiser employment policies. Why sin-
gle bar bumpers again? Because the
trend in body design and appearance
is toward simplicity. One car manu-
facturer is so proud of his new radi-
ator that the license plate bracket
was moved over to the side so as not
to obstruct the view.

One accomplishment of which no
motorist seems proud is that of hav-

The trend toward the mechanical
fuel pump is just about complete this
year. Only three makes of ears still
use the vacuum tank, Another trend
that is almost complete is that to-
ward the three -spoke steering wheel.
It is an aid to instrument board visi-
bility, but a lot of motorists still nev-
er look at the dash.

.Rubber is used from 40 to'60 times
in the average car to give it silence.
Yet the configuration of certain tire
treads contribute to noise.

Two of the safest bets of the mo-
ment with regard to car equipment
are more gains for free wheeling and
air-intake silencers. They now have
five and ten users, respectively.

One car maker uses single bar
bumpers and relocates the license
plate holder so that the frontal view
of the car's handsome radiator will
not be obstructed, and the tie -bar con-
necting the headlamps has been dis-
posed of by one or two makers.
* * *
It is worth remembering that in
buying many of the newer cars one
is given an option on several uphol-
stery fabrics and colors. If the car
being considered happens to offer this,
interesting option the buyer will fin•i
it worth his while exercising it. One
of the more popular sixes in the med-
ium -low price class offers five choices
with respect to upholstery.

Let the positive or negative connec-
tion on the battery break and the
car will stop until the part is replac-
ed. In the face of this inevitable ef-
fect, the thoughtful motorist will have
a look now and then at the condition
of his battery connections.

Now that the engine oil is being
changed more regularly due to cold
weather, the crankcase drain plug is
more likely to be roughly treated in
being removed. Ask the filling sta-
tion attendant about the condition of
the plug next time be drains the oil.
A new one may be needed.

Radio on the Farm.
"Information can be just as pleas-
ant as entertainment," asserted Dr. J.
H. Grisdale, Federal Deputy Minister
of Agriculture, speaking at Ottawa
recently. "The radio is important to
agriculture. The young people are
becoming Baily more important on the
farm and they want radio entertain-
ment. Radio provides this; it keeps
the farmer in touch with the market
situation and weather conditions, and
it also keeps him in touch with the
news of local and world happenings.
I think radio is more important in
the farm home than in any other
honie, it brings the world to the front
door."
Farming Has Changed.
Some appreciation of the change
which has taken place in farming in
Canada during the past fifty years is
afforded by the observations made on
a recent occasion by Dr. J. F. Booth,
Commissioner of Agricultural Econ-
omics, Ottawa. In the early, days of
Canadian agricultural history, he
points out, the farmer was a self-
sufficient producer and in a small way
a manufacturer. To -day the farmer
depends for existence upon his abil-
ity to produce commodities for mar-
ket. He is no longer a technician
who, produces his own food and manu-
factures his own shoes, clothing, etc.,
but instead is a ,business man who is
dependent upon a knowledge of bath
technical production problems and the
intricacies of domestic and foreign
trade and commerce --he must have
some appreciation of the problems in-
volved in the assemibling, grading,
transportation, storage, financing and
marketing of his products,
Back to the Farm.
A new significant attaches to the
old familiar slogan "Back to the
Farm" in the way that Brood Sow
Policy enumerated by the Hon. R.
Weir, Federal Minister of Agricul-
ture, at the Royal Winter Fair, is
working out. In the first month in
full operation over five hundred sows
of the select bacon type have been
saved from slaughter, bred and sent
back to farms. .Salskairhewan and
Alberta lead in the number of orders
p' -aced but keen interest is evidenced
all over Canada. Sows of suitable
type are provided farmers at cost,
with a further saving of one-half the
cost_ of freight from the stockyard to
the buyer's farm.
INFORMATION
"Does Mr. Smith live here?" asked
a man of the small boy who opened
the door.
"No, sir."
"Well, does he bee in this street?"
"Yes, sir."
"Do you know the number of his
house ?"
"No, I don't, sir; but it'll be on the
door."
A CLIMBER.
The two workmen were having a
quiet chat.
"Who's that chap over there in the
blue overalls?" asked Ted of his com-
panion.
"That's the boss' son. He's work-
ing as a day laborer," came the re-
ply.
"I see," ventured Ted, "starting at
the bottom and working his way up,"
"No, replied his companion ruth-
lessly; "he started at the top and they
pushed him down."
THE DOMINION BANK IN
PARTICULARLY STRONG
POSITION
Cash Assets 21a, and Immediately
Available Assets Nearly 53.50% of
Public Liabilities.
Deposits Compare Very Favourably
with 1929.
In view of the difficulties which
have been so marked in business oper-
ations during 1930, the Sixtieth An-
nual Statement of the Dominion Bank
presented to the meeting of the Share-
holders on Wednesday, Jan- 28th, is a
most satisfactory one.
While the net profits of the year
could not be expected to be equal to
the figures of 1929, which were the
largest in the Bank's history, yet the
reduction was only $113,000.
The total of $1,409,747 was distrib-
uted as follows: Dividends and bonus
of 1 per cent., r; i,, x,993; Provisions
for Dominion and, �> noial taxation,
$180,000; Contrai to Officers'
Pension Fundi ,$* r, write-off on

leaving a balareeee carried forward of
$444,21.9, 'er $70,000, in excess of the
previous year.
Deposits were exceptionally well
maintained at $107,432,406, or less

terest declined about $1,500,000.
One of the most outstanding fea-
tures of the Bank's report is its strong
liquid position. Cash Assets at
$25,464,070, are 21 per cent. of the
Bank's Liabilities to the public, while
Immediately Available Assets are
nearly 53.50 per cent. of all Public
Liabilities.
Investments in Dominion, Provincial
Government and ilfuniciyal bonds and
debentures have increased during the
year by $2,000,000.
There was, naturally, during 1930 a
lesser demand for commercial loans
yet the Bank's advances under this
heading at $64,804,522 only show a
moderate decrease of 12 per cent. To-
tal Assets are $141,723, 848.
Capital, Reserve Fund and Undivid-
ed profits total $16,444,219.
Viewed from every standpoint the
Bank's Statement is a remarkably
good one.
