Retiring From Hotel. IMr, Ed. Lowry, who for the past five years has been in charge of the Central Hotel, will retire at the close of the present month as his lease expires at that time and also owing to the continued ill. health of Mr. Lowry. Five years ago Mr. Lowly took over the' hotel from Mr. Ches- ter Lee and until his health failed hien about two years ago he enjoyed a splendid patronage from the trav- elling public and was one• of our 'most highly esteemed citizens. Since his illness which has incapacitated him from business the hotel has been under the management of his • son, Fred. Mr, Lowry has now decided to retire and will take up residence on Ann Street in the house now oc- cupied by Mrs. Cottle. An auction sale of the hotel furniture will be held Monday, Oct. 30th. The present owner of the hotel, Mr. Honer Bag- shaw, has not yet decided what he will dv with the building but at the present -6 -Me is looking for another tenant.—Exeter Times -Advocate. Successful Anniversary. The anniversary services in Caven Presbyterian Church on Sunday last were a splendid success." Large con- gregations were present at both morning and evening services. The special speaker for the day was Rev. Dr. Jas. Smart, of Ailsa Craig. The choir provided special music and were assisted at the morning service by Mrs. C. R. Howard, who sang a very delightful solo, "I Will Mag- nify Thee." Miss Kathleen Strang sang a solo part in the anthem. At the evening service 1lessrs. Grafton Cochrane and Raymond Pryde both took solo parts in the anthems. • In the morning the Main Street United church was closed in honor of Caven aid in the evening the Trivitt Mem- orial Church, Exeter and the Carmel Presbyterian Church, Hensall, were closed. Rev. Mr. Hunt and Rev. Mr. „Young assisted with the evening ser- vice.—Exeter Times=Advocate. Suffers Broken Arm of nurses.

When laths in a partition behind a lighted fireplace in the home of . H. E. Jenner, Britannia Road, became overheated and took fire about ten o'clock Tuesday night, and all efforts on the part of Mr. Jenner, to get at the blaze with a garden hose were un- successful, an alarm was rung in which was promptly answered by the brigade. Chief Geo. Beacom found it necessary to tear out a section of the wall behind the fireplace to get itt the blaze. This was soon done and the fine,, which had 'made little headway, Was extinguished with chemicals,—Goderich Signal. Firemen Stage Outdoor "Dance Under the auspices of the Fire Bri- gade a dance was held Fall Fair night on A. M. Crawford's lot, Jos- ephine Street. The •Clover Hullers orchestra, well known comedy enter- tainers, pleased the crowd with their dance music and song. From the hour the dance started until closing time, the floor was crowded and all apparently enjoyed the evening's en- tertainment. The dance floor which was used for this dance was also us- ed at the fall fair under the fire., men's auspices but'even,the orchestra that drew so well at night failed to • dreaw. nearly as many dancers. as it should.—Wingham Advance -Times.

Mrs. Robson, of Walkerville, an an- nual visitor with Mrs. .,g -nes Swan- son, Bruce Street, had the misfor- tune to fall and break an arm one day last week. Mrs. Robson -slipped on some wet leaves and she was about to step on the verandah to enter the house and put out her arm to save herself from falling, a fracture re- sulting. The injury was painful, but Mrs. Robson is able to be up and around and takes her misfortune phis- ophically and cheerfully. — Goderich Star. A Statutory Holiday . Remembrance Day, November 11th, is a statutory holiday. Announce- ment to this effect wa: made bj- the secretary of state department at -Ot- tawa on Tuesday in response to ninny inquiries as to whether Remembrance Day was a campulsory holiday. In a statement th department explained that only Sundays are compulsory holidays. "Nevertheless throughout Canada general public recognition is usually given all holidays' which are prescribed by ithe statutes of Can- ada," the statement said. — Goderich Star. Accident Victim Improving' Miss '<Vinnifred Long, of Brussels, who was so seriously injured in an automobile accident while driving with her brother on the highway near Seaforth, being struck by a cut -in driver from Goderich, almost five weeks ago, is still confined in Sea - forth hospital under the constant care PERSONAL "1 will not be responsible for' any member of my family who takes stomach tonics, in- digestion remedies, soda, calor. mel, salts, laxative pi etc. to try to got rid of indiges- tion, constipation, bloating, sour stomach, bad breath or headaches.

FARM NOTES Plowing Match Success John Capton, a Six Nation Indian from Oshw•eken. captured the Eaton Trophy from a field of thirty-seven plowmen at the International Plow- ing Match held in Derby Township near Owen Sound last week. His victory was a notable one, as many of the most expert plowmen in On- tario were among his competitors. More than 164 entries were made in ,the second day's competition, as record entry, and 15.000 persons packed the field to watch the events. The weather was ideal for plowing and the tented city housing exhibits of farm machinery and other goods I was crowded. cleaned up. - ;Mr. Fulton says that there bas heen a good demand for pears, es- pecially Bartletts, owing to the light weight coming from California. • On- tal•io hamper Bartletts have made from 12s to 14s 6d and a few half barrels average 20s for 56 pounds of fruit. He had no doubt that Bart- letts would 'continue to make satis- factory values. It was difficult to forecast prices for Keiffers, but there was a feeling that Ss. to 10s. a ham- per would be realied according to sizes. British Fruit Market Keen competition is to be expect- ed from Nova Scotia in the British apple markets this year, elehlares An- drew Fulton, overseas fruit repres- entative. The Gravensteins already received from that Province are of very good quality. It was too early to estimate L'. S. competition, but at the time of writing the rate of ex- change was depreciating a little fur- ther each day in favor of the Ameri- can exporter. At the same time, the 4s. 2d. per cwt. duty still stands against American fruit entering Great Britain. 'Since landing in England early in September. Mr. Fulton has been im- pressed. by indication of the disas- trous Australasian fruit season that is now finishing. It appears that ov- er six million boxes of Australian and New Zealand apples have reached the United Kingdom during the past five months. Large quantities were plac- ed in cold storage.

Royal Winter Fair As a result of the annual fall sur- vey of breeders, agricultural work- ers and prospective eithibitors a real spirit of confidence and optimism has gripped the Royal Winter Fair of- fices in Toronto. The vital role of agriculture in the permanent econ- omic welfare of Canada prompts the Royal to concentrate public attention at the next 'Fair on th'esfact of how closely prosperity in every other ,in- dustry and enterprise, no matter how remote is linked with a prosperous agriculture. And in the plans the small man with only a few head of stock or a •small acreage is being specifically encouraged this year to try for hon- ors with the biggest, and with this idea in mind all the many sectional prize lists of the "ten 'big shows" comprised in the Royal have been recast during th'e past summer. . The management has adopted the twin slogans for 1933: "A Royal Aid to Agriculture" and "A 'Stimulus to Young Canada." All entries should be in by Novem- ber. 2, and the Faiir dates are Novem- ber 22nd to 30th inclusive. Bladder Weakness Troublesome Nights Swiftly Relieved dark suits with a style that must be a delight to his tailor's heart. In the summer time he varies this by blos- soming out in white suits. He almost never mixes the two. His taste in accessories is severely plain. Lyle Talbot vies with Warren Wil- liam in setting the made. He goes in for sporty clothes, suede shoes, belted coats, distinctive and unusual materials. He wears them well, however, and is considered one of the most smartly turned out younger players. George Brent wears flannel suits of conservativeshades, generally double-hreasted style. He wears .dark colors and quiet ties. Richard Bar- thehness is almost always garbed in, .dark colors. His ties are either black or dark. He particularly likes to wear evening dress: Joe E. Brown, who seldom gets to wear good clothes in piet'es, is really one of Hollywood's best dress- ed men. ,His clothes are generally conservative, but he goes in for long pointed collars and 'Sometimes for noticeable noisy neckties. He often wears flannels with dark coats. George Arliss dresses in typical English style, conservative almost to the point of being old-fashioned. His clothes are tailored mostly in (London, although one Thew York house makes costumes and some suits for him. He has never adopted the "latest" styles and still refuses to abandon the narrow trouser which ends two inches Qr more from the grdund. He prefers rough materials, wears high shoes and has quiet tastes in all particulars. All of which goes to show that what the well dressed motion picture actor is wearing depends altogether upon the actor. If you are troubled with a ,burning sensation, Bladder Weakness, fre- quent daily annoyance, getting -up - nights, dull pains in back, lower ab- domen and down through groins—you should try the amazing value of Dr. Southworth's "Uratabs" and see What a wonderful difference they make!

Pick a 'dozen male stars at random and you may find that no two of them dress alike, alt ugh each one 'of them might alify for "well dressed" dis- tinction. There's William Powell, for ex- ample, who certainly rates as one of the best dressed' men anywhere. There is nothing distinctive about his clothes except that they are ex- cellently tailored, conservative in cut and color and worn with an assur- ance that few men acquire. 'Most 'of Powell's suits are dark. The favorite color is gray. 'He wears suspenders, dark 'ties, high collars and generally black shoes. He is not often seen in sport clothes. (But with James Cagney it is dif- ferent. He also wears excellent cl thes, well tailored, but when as- sembled Jimmy looks very little like the sleek Powell. Brown and tan are his favorite colors). His collar is generally at unruly as hisd,.hair. He wears either white or tan -and -white shoes, ties of pastel shades, and 'either goes bareheaded or wears a slouch hat. Sagney' is actually a very well dressed young man—in his own way. Warren William has a flair for the spectacular in clothes. Left to his own devices he is apt to turn out in checks and plaids. A checkered cap, a checkered sports coat, a wide - winged collar, open at the throat, .striped trousers and patent leather shoes—these distinguish Warren Wil- liam from the crowd. At other times William is inclined toward con- servative raiment at home as in his pictures, where lie wears quietly tailored business suits and faultlless- ly fitted evening dress. 'But funda- melltally he loves cheeks best. Edward G. Robinson always wears dark business suits, varying this oc- casionally by combining white flan- nel with a dark coat. He is strictly conservative in his choice of shirts and ties. ,John Barrymo're is notorious for his -oddly matched combinations. rlie most often wears parts of two suits, each sartorially perfect in its own way. He features light colored neck- ties, which he ties rather ,badly. Al Jolson is one of the best dressed men in or out of pictures. He wears YOUR LIVER'S MAKING YOU FEEL OUT OF SORTS Wake up your Liver Bile —No Calomel needed When you feel blue, depressed, sour on the world, that's your liver which isn't pouring its daily two pounds of liquid bile into your bowels.

Burning hydrochloric acid de- velops in the stomach at an alarm- ing rate. The acid. irritates and in- flames the delicate stomach lining and often leads to gastritis or stom- ach ulcers. Don't dose an acid stom- ach with pepsin or artificial diges- tants that only give temporary relief from pain by drivin the sour, fer- menting food out of the stomach into the intestines. Instead, neutralize or sweeten your acid stomach after meals with - a little Bisurated Magnesia and not only will the pain vanish but your meals will digest naturally. There is nothing better than Bisurated Magnesia, to sweeten and Settle an acid stomach. Your stomach acts and feels fine in just a few minutes. Bisurated Magnesia can be obtained from any reliable druggist. ft is safe, reliable, easy and pleasant to use, is not a laxative and is not at all expensive. Burn Your Own Home! (Condensed from New Outlook in Reader's Digest.) That stirring slogan, "Own Your Own Home," seems recently to have been changed to read "Burn Your Own Horne." For 1933 is proving the best arson year in our history, and in about three cases out of five .the crime is now committed 'in a resi- dence rather than in a place of 'busi- ness. All over. the country residential fires are 30 percent. to 40 per cent. higher than for the same period last year—and--last year they were 50 per cent. greater than they wes,e six years ago. Don't assume for a minute that arson is confined to a few large cit- ies. It prevails from coast to coast in towns large ancl small; it prevails even on the farm to 'such an extent t'iat authorities estimste one-third of our rural fires to he incendiary. The insurance companies have long play- ed ostrich with regard to- the arson question, denying the facts in a mis- taken effort to avoid encouraging the rractice in others. But in this Year of Our Lord arson seems to be un animous: does the idea intrigue you? Well, it isn't so enormously dif- ficult to execute. First o fall, you !axe out x815,000 or $20,000 worth of fire insurance on your $2,000 worth of be- longings—ere-if you have a slneIl policy already, treble it. Nobody will ask you why—nobody will even in- quire if you own that much property. All they ask is that your premium cheque clears the 'bank. This done, you. set fire to the place, taking care to be 'away at the mov- ies, or 'visiting your Aunt Sarah, at the proper time. This may call for a little ingenuity. For instance, one gentleman arranged a .bundle of matches head down on 'a strip of sandpaper, and attached the matches by a cord to a poplar .the 50 feet from the house. Then he went to Chi- cago. Three days later the Wind rose, the poplar' began to sway, the match- es were pulled across the sandpaper and ignited. In 15 minutes the house was a roaring furnace. To be sure, the man is now in jail, but it was a swell idea,' anyhow, suggesting what a field there ie for inventive genius, The only catch in these amateur arrangements is that nine out of ten of them are detected: by the keen - eyed firemen. If you want to avoid that pitfall, engage one of the many professionals who specialize in this work for anywhere from $200 a job in smaller communities to $1000 in cities. And in case the burden of col- lecting seems too complicated, get a Start the clay RIGHT! smart public adjuster to represent you; the woods are full of the kind who know when to hold their noses, and they seem to have no difficulty doing business with the first line in- surdhee companies. To be sure, some of them slip up, and when that happens you have civ- il or criminal litigation on your hands. But even then the odds are apt to 'be with you, for in many states the statutes covering arson are so archaic that an intelligent law clerk could defend you successfully. Where the ancient common law pre- vails, for example, arson is defined as "(burning the premises of another," leaving you free to burn your own' house if you like. And in other lo- calities, the burden of proof is made so terrific that the crienle is a dif- ficult one, to prosecute. The "valued policy" law which operates in some commonwealths wee once a safeguard for the policy holder; now it has be- come a standing invitation to the in- cendiary. For no proof of loss is re- quired; the face value of the policy must be paid in 'a total loss fire.ev- en if that be 20 times the worth of the property destroyed—and the in- surance people offer no curbs to the amount you may 'buy. In view of this situation, it seems time that we took our head out of the sand and did something constructive to check this menace. Lots of sugges- tions have been made, but the bitter truth is that the general laxity of the insurance companies is the funder mental cause 'of arson, and the soon- er everybody admits and remedies that, the sooner we'll have a cure. Anybody can buy an insurance pol- icy, as big a policy as he :want- to pay for, and no questions asked. The classic demonstration of that was mads some years ago when several investigators were granted policies totalling $127,500' on property, actu- ally worth $3.96; and the same thing 'has been repeated time and time a- gain 'in actual litigation. Here is an incendiary fire on $2:5 worth of house- hold stuff insured for 51400; -another• on $2600 covered for $140,250; still one More more involving $51600 *orth 'of belongings insured for $255,000; all Actual arson cases fought out in court. Why do the companies permit such gross over -insurance? Because, they say, if a man is damn fool enough to pay those premiums, why shouldn't they take them and prove fraud when the time comes? The answers come thick and fast, but two are enough: First, the man who is willing to pay such premiums is not a fool but an obvious crook. And second, the at- tempts to prove fraud are seldom suc- cessful; so the taxpayers not only pay for futile prosecution, but for the insurance loss out of premiums which have been scaled to cover such contingencies! They don't do it that way in Ger- many. There you are put through the ropes when you apply for fire insur- ance. Consequently, they have no ar- son. Neither would we, if we exacted one-quarter the. preliminary prec u - tions in fire insurance that are en- forced by the life insurance compan- i E S. It would seem, therefore, that the first attack on. this spreading crime of arson would be to exact from the applicant, as prelinvinary require- ments, some proof of good character as well as some proof of possession, .1- ther than ultimate proof of loss. The second offen'siv'e should be a- gainst the public adjuster;, the fel- low wiho stimulates arson in the minds of the suseeptible'and the person •veitlrent whom no 'arson ring could profitably operate. In many states anybody can be a public adjuster. 'Until we have a rigid licensing sys- tem for adjusters, we will continue to see this unofficial agent the chief factor in incendiary fires. The wayward ones, to be sure, could be checked even without such measures if, again, the insurance companies themselves would put up a united front. But they don't. Instead, they do business with all and Sundry; in case after case they do business with adjusters who have unmistak- able records of fraudulent dealings. Ir. one state a client double-crossed a crooked adjuster and tipped off the authorities. That adjuster is still in business. In another instance the ad- juster's depredations got so raw that he went to jail for them. After his release he set himself up as an in- surance agent; and the odds are ten to one that the swine companies he defrauded are again accepting busi- ness fro him—with their fingers crossed! With hundreds of such examples of this noble willingness to forgive and forget, which, incidentally, op- erates to the direct deprivation , of honest insurance agentts•, it 'is clear that a twice -'burned insurance com- pany is never afraid of fire, or crook- ed adjusters. As long as ,,that situation prevails, arson will continue to inerease, levy- ing a steadily mounting tax on the average m'an's anemic cheque-book. When the situation is remedied by an improved viewpoint among those 'met directly concerned with the ar- son .prolbl'emt, arson will lose its zest and the "'Burn Your Oven.

'Paul is addressing Christians. In the first ch pter of this Epistle we read this salutation: "To all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints." In today's lesson he is calling them to "awake for the night is far spent, the. day is at hand; let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the arm - cur of light." • It is approaching nineteen hundred years since the Apostle wrote these warning words. It is supposed that St. Paul positively expected the Ad- vent within the life -time of the then living. Century after century has this hope animated and inspired writ- ers and yet the great end is still un - reached. The 'Master said: "'Of that day and that hour knoweth no man." But though that great day is not yet, the heart assferbsL—and .tinily, that when•there is deepest night over nations and the world and men, a day of the Lord is at hand; that a dawn is coming -not uprising in Christ in light, deliverance, the last day, not the final daygn, but the knowledge and love. Again and again have these days of the Lord come, has the night van- ished and the sunlight burst on the world, not only in religion, but in the regeneration of societies, in the revolutions of nations, in the rush of great and creative thoughts over the whole of the civilized world. The works of darkness have been cast• off and the armour of light put on. St. 'Paul, having warned these early Christians to awake and put on the armour of light which he say's is the Lord Jesus Christ, tells them the meaning'thereof. He says: "No map liveth to himself." Having acceptdd Christ as personal Redeemer and Lord there are certain principles which guide the relationships of life. Not our own pleasure, but rather the glory of Christ and the peace and progress of the brotherhood, is to be im'ade the rule of . our lives. Read again the words, "No man liveth to himself"=rand see in them an expres- sion of the deliberate purpose of ev- ery genuine Christian. The true be- liever forswears self. From the mom- ent of his conversion his whole being runs. 'Christward. "The volume of the river may be small at first, but small as it is, its direction is decided, and it gathers magnitude as it flows, for it drains the valley of his life. He keeps himself for Christ, because he awes everything to Christ." St. Paul adds to this utterance "and no man dieth to himself for wihether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord." To live ineans with us all to work. Would it not'miake a great difference to any man if he felt that all his work was done unto the Lord, 124t unto men? And living thus, ,he lives most nobly as a blessing to society. St. Paul then touches on one man by his life and conduct, putting a stumbling block or an occasion to fall in his brother's way. IHe comes out very strongly in the matter of ,intem•perance whether of eating or drinking--1"It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor anything whereby thy .'brother stumlbleth, or is offended, or is made weak." For by so doing the work of God is destroyed.—(Condensed from the Sermon Bible). TEMPERANCE In 1871 Lord Shaftesbury asked Dr. Barnardo to compile statistics of his wards and to let him' know what was the chief cause of their being so destitute. The doctor began the work and he tells the story: "I tabulated in special columns the various traceable causes. which led to the children �beecoming candidates for the Homes; and the 40tonishing fact emerged (doubly as- tonishing to me, because I was not then a total abstainer nor even in sympathy with the movement) that no less than 85 per cent. owed their special ruin and the long train of their distresses to the influence, di- rect or indirect, of the drinking haib- "its of their parents, grandparents or other relatives.", This shocked Barn - ado into becoming a teetotaller. The records are being written to- day in Canada, and unless the intoxi- cants which (bear the government's official label are radically different from those of former days the story will be exactly the same as to the destitution caused by their use.—On- ward. ' . The foolish person built his house on sand; the wise on rock. In tem- perance education that is the only wise procedure. Especially because this is such a contentious question, in m addition to ethical and religious con- siderations, it is -essential that what- ever is taught should be strictly in accordance with the facts. These relate to many fields. There are facts as to the effect of alcohol on the body, and even more signifi- cant, as to the effect on the nerves and on the judgment. There are facts relative to emtployment, industry, trade and prosperity; to accidents and to crime. There are facts regarding the more intimate human relations in the family and in moral- and religious living. The factsare massed on the side of temperance and self-control! It may be true that some temper- ance workers have, in their zeal, let their imagination color or supply their statements, or have resorted to some of the methods of the propat. gardists. It 'clay Ibe true that the wets are past masters at misrepres- entation and. propaganda; :but their spacious arguments are best demol- ished by simple facts. With solid fact as the basis, it is necessary to stir the emotions in the interests of childhood—of humanity; in the in- terests of truth, beauty, goodness; and to enlist•children, youth and ad- ults in the crusade of the Kingdom of God.—Professor A. J. W. Myers, in Tidings. Branded feed sold ' during the month of August in Canada totalled 2,606,249 pounds.
