Within one block of the Square, four business places have been painted within the last two or three weeks. They are Craigie's News Shop, Zinn's Radio Shop, Allison & Heitman's meat mar- ket and -the Venus Cafe. This activ- ity is an encouraging sign. .1 The lawns, flower gardens and wellkept boulevards, of which there are whole !docks unmarred by a neglected pro- perty, must impress visitors tai Gode- rich that it is a town in which citi- zens take an active interest in their homes.—IGoderich Star. Attempt Made to Eeter Home On Friday evening an attempt was made to burglarize the home of Mr. Albert Kempstone, St. George Street. Some time during the night the doors 'covering the steps leading to an out- side entrance to the cellar were forc- ed open. An effort was then made to 'jimmy" the cellar door in an effort to open it, the party either was dis- turbed or gave the job up as being rather too strenuous. The shovel was left lying in the cellar -way and the outside door left open. Mr. Kemp - stone informs us that this is not the -first time that he has had such visitors.—Mitchell Advocate. Return After 30 Years' Absence About 100 friends and relatives of MVlr. •and Mrs. W. J. Hoover and their _son and daughter-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Worthy Hoover, of Alberta, met at the home of Mrs. Hoover's sister, 3VIrs. John Feagan, Nile, on Friday, to wish them godspeed as they re- turned to their home in Alberta, af- ter spending a month in and around the old home scenes of 30 "ears ago, and where Mr. and Mrs. Hoover spent the early days of their lives. In 1906 they moved to Camrose, Alta., and this has been the first visit they have enjoyed together near their old home in the East.—Goderich Star. Race Meet a Great Success With a perfect summer day, a largo field of horses, and track conditions of the best, the annual civic holiday meet of the Goderich Trotting and Pacing Association, on Monday last, 'BACKACHE guaekly disappears when the Liver and Kidneys are aroused by Dria4AS E'S attracted a great crowd and was an unqualified success. Thirty-nine hors- es started in the five events, for which' an aggregate purse of $2150D was offered—a $500 stake for each race. The attendance was somewhat behind last year's, owing partly, no doubt to the' busy season on the farms and to rival attractions at nearby towns. J. M. 'Miele, of Tillsonburg, handled the bell; Ed. Fawns of Mit- chell, W. T. McLean and A. J. Gold- thorpe ware judges, and J. W. Craig - ie, timer. 'Dr. W. F. Clark, recover- ed from his recent illness, was clerk of the meet. W. C. 'Snazel was down from Bracebridge to handle the pro- grams and markers.—Goderich Sig- nal.

St. Helens People Hurt in Accident Dorothy; Laurine and Gordon .Mil- ler, of 'St. Helens, are nursing cuts and bruises received when the car in which they were going to Pine River to play ball, overturned near Para- mount on Friday evening. The acci- dent occurred when the driver of the car, Alex. Smith, Lucknow, in pulling out to pass a parked car, struck some loose gravel and headed for the ditch. In attempting to right it again the car was overturned and the occu- pants, including Miss M. Ritchie, of Lucknow, were hurled . out through the top. tMedical assistance was sum- rrimmiedl iiom Ludknow' and several stitches were required to close a cut in Dorothy's head and in Gordon's wrist.

Correspondence (Continued from Page 2) 'operating profitably can not find a use in their own business • for their surplus funds. In shoat, the reason for the decline in commercial loans is that profitable markets are ,,not available to industry. ' There are many reasons why my bank manager wants to make com- mercial loans.. He pays me 2 per cent. on my acdount, yet short term government securities yield him as little as las per cent. If Mk. Stevens is correct, then the 'banks must be losing money on a large proportion of their deposit business. Viewed also in their larger. social. implications, the policies of the 'hanks seem sbund-at least from the view- point of the majority of the poptile- tion. In a period of recovery, the banks can best safeguard the deposi- tor; and encourage trade by the pur- chase of high grade securities. The demand from the banks and other in- stitutions has forced the price of prime securities to the highest level in history. Yields are lower than ever before. This forces money into other channels. Already there has been a noticeable revival in mortgage lending; some construction has be- gun; and the low price of long term money must produce industrial ex- pansion. Projects, unsound when money costs 7 or even 8 per cent. are frequently economic when rates drop to 5 and 6 per cent. It is not intended here to make a case for the bankers. They are hu- man and therefore fallible—as is Mr. Stevens. But in these times should politicians force banks to make ques- tionableecommercial lopes,. then bank depositors, like myself, would natur- ally hoard currency, a development leading inevitably to disaster here just as it did in the U. S. The bank- ing system is sound in Canada be- cause depositors, realize our bankers will not make questionable commer- cial loans. May I thank you, Sir, for permit- ting me thus to express views which are widely held but seldom voiced. I am, • Faithfully yours, W. H. HURD.

The human body has an inborn or inherited capacity to defend itself against disease. This capacity must 'be developed before it can become powerful enough to be an effective "force in the preserva- tion of life and health through the prevention of disease. We start out into life with a store of protective substances carried over from our mothers. These are grad- ually lost. When the child is six months old, he is entirely dependent upon the capacities of his own body for protection against disease. The body of the; child has inherent capacities' for defence, but the par- tilcular defensive forces which are used to meet the attack of any one kind of disease germs are not pro- duced until the body is stimulated to do so by the presence of these same germs in the body. This wouM be all very well, but only too often the attack of the dis- ease germ is so severe that the body is overwhelmed • before it has time to develop the strength of its defensive forces. Nature' does suc- ceed in building up protection or im- munit ?rbut the price is msch suf- ferings a great deal of permanent physical damageand many deaths. Nature devised as a protective pro- cess the development of immunity by the production of protective sub- stances in the ''body. Science has sought to secure immunity by stimu- lating the production of protective substances and consequent immunity while avoiding the risk to life in- volved in nature's process. ' The 'aim of preventive medicine is to build up the unaleveloped protec- tive forces of the body before the body is attacked; then, if disease germs do gain entrance to the body, they will be disarmed at once and no harm will result. Diphtheria immunization means that, by the injections of diphtheria toxoid, a harmless substance, the body is stimulated to produce and keep on hand a quantity of diphtheria antitoxin. Diphtheria germs do their damage by the toxin or poison which they produce in the body. This toxin is neutralized by antitoxin, and the body which contains diphtheria anti • toxin is protected or immune as far as the disease, diphtheria, is concern- ed. What science has dons is to use nature's way while removing the dan- gers which were associated with the process when it was left to nature. Again, man has, in the use of his in- telligence, come to understand the laws of nature, and then, building upon this knowledge, has been able to fight, with success, such a persist- ent and dreaded foe as diphtheria. Are your children immune against diphtheria? Questions concerning health, ad- dressed to the Canadian Medical As- sociation, 184 College St., Toronto, will be answered personally by let- ter.

N. R. Plays in Marketing Canada's Crops. So essential to the trade, commerce, and. general welfare of Canada are the various classes of freight carried in the course of a year by Canadian National Railways that it is difficult to give pride of place to any particular one, but in their all-round importance to every section of the community, agricul- tural products must rank very high. They form the back -bone of the nation's business activities and contribute directly and in large volume to its industry and employment everywhere. During 1934 the C. N. R. carried over eight and a half million tons of agricultural produce, being an increase of 6.44% over 1933. In this total are included 134,700,000 bushels of wheat, 14,000,000 bushels of corn, 35,700,000 bushels of oats, and 15,500,000 bushels of barley; the aggregate of these commodities showing an increase of 4.1% when compared with the preceding year. It is interesting to note that the average haul of each ton of wheat was approximately seven hundred and fifty miles. ' Without the rail facilities of the C.N.R. no doubt some of this agricultural produce might still have reached a market, but it could only have done so at a much higher cost to the producer, and the quantity would necessarily have been negligible ... for practically all the crops which entereinto the figures e above enumerated were placed in freight cars at points where the only rail,.. transportation obtainable was that provided by Canadian National Railways. These crops come from far scattered districts ...in many cases from sparsely populated communities ... but they are the result of the labours of men and women who each year create millions and millions of dollars of new wealth for Canada. In this work the C.N.R. is their partner and helper. As is well known the crop movements of recent years have been much below normal :.. much below the standard of productivity of our prairies and agricultural areas, and much below the volume which the C. N. R. is equipped to handle: The figures' quoted should, therefore, be considered in that light. The carriage of agricultural produce is, of course, only one of the activities of,the C.N.R. In every branch of 'rail transportation it is equipped to give the best of service ... all the year round : , under all conditions ... econom- ically, courteously, and competently. Your patronage is respectfully solicited. During the present Summer season the C.N.R. is providing special fares and excursions between points throughout Canada. These are exceptional travel bargains. The nearest C. N.R. Agent will be glad to give full particulars. -- ;, Awe,:.
