He was standing on a west- bound freight train, and as the engine struck the curve to take the side track Lost his balance and fell to the ground.

The police of various cities have received numerous letters about it, but have ea yet done nothing. The writers of these letters say that a very obliging agent called on them, took a picture of one of tho dear ones, pro- mised to return and departed. General- ly he did return with a beautifully finished proof. Of course the bereaved ones in the family oirole were enraptur- ed with the proof, and hurriedly dug up the necessary amount for a dozen or so of the finished product, folly believing that the completed pictures would bo sent. The smiling agent gracefully wrote out a receipt and walked off with the money. And the cause of all the letters is that the agent never puts in an appearance, again, nor does the finished product of the art company land in the homes. To Cure Fever Chills And such complaints as "Shivers" and ague we recommend Nerviline very highly; Twenty drops of Nerviline taken in hot water with a little sugar three times daily not only stops the chill but knooks out the disease com- pletely. Nerviline has a direct action on fever chills and removes the con- dition causing them. In etomaoh and bowel troubles Nerviline never fails. It's pleasant to the taste, quick to re- lieve and always cures permanently. Get a 26o. bottle today. EGGS IN WINTER. Many people have the idea that you must have a hen House unusually warm in order to get eggs in winter time. This is a delusion, as it has boon proven by the Q, A. O. Poultry Department that hens kept in a shed, with the win- dows open all winter, laid exceptionally well and had perfect health. Ilene re- quire plenty of fresh air and should not be kept in a olose, stuffy hon -poop clean. ad only onoe or twice a year, which is the way many farmers treat their hen houses. Is it any wonder that We hear of so many farmers losing birds when kept under such conditions? The lice alone would drive them out in many instances. To got eggs in whiter time we must imitate nature in the spring. A hen that hat not laid an egg all winter, when she gets out after the snow is gone and Can take plenty of exeroisi, pick a little green grass and a few bugs or worm, is sure to begin at once to lay, We must try and imitate these condi- tions in winter. Many people freed Oak THE WINGHAM ADVANCE. hens too much, thinking that by so do- ing they will force them. Having no exercise and sitting all day on the roost, they soon become too fat, and a fat hen seldom lays. 11 is important to provide a scratching pen, or shed, where yon can put eight or ten inches of chaff or straw to that your grain may be scat- tered into this, and so force the hens to eoratoh it out, In the cold weather, corn is a valuable., grain to feed, as it helps to keep up the animal heat in the hen. Grain should be fed at night in sufficient quautities-sothat there may be enough left over to keep the heni busy for two hours in the morning while they are hungry, At 9 o'clook feed a mash of oat chop, finely ground, mixed with a little bran or ground clover or clover leaves, to which a little blood meal or beef scrap may be added; ground bones give good results. Some kind of roots should bested at noon to supply plenty of green food. Keep plenty of grit and oyster shell always before them, as many hens die through the winter for want of grinding materi- al to digest thoir food. If your hone have had sufficient fresh air and ex- ercise, the fertility of the eggs is much better early in the season. Why Brain -Workers Break Down. Man is not a machine that keeps going as long as the steam is applied. He is a creature of blood, nerves, and delicately balanced organism. Many don't realize this, but overwork their brains and break down. Brain workers need a strong, bracing tonic like Ferro - zone to fortify their nerves and keep the blood pure and rich. Take Ferrozone and you'll do more work. You will have the strength, the ambition and the desire for work because your system will be in first•olass order. For your health and strength take Ferrozone regularly. Price 50o. at druggists. COUNTY COUNCIL. The adjourned meeting of Huron County Council was held last week.

Bronchitic Asthma a Heavy Burden Asthma is bad enough but when bronchial symptoms are added the poor sufferer has allnost an intolerable exist- ence. An absolute specific is found in fragrant healing catarrhozono which curds chronic cases that other remedies won't even relieve. "For years," writes Capt. Macdonald of Montreal, "I battled with the agonies of broneht- tio asthma. Often I couldn't sleep for nights tit a time. I spent thousands on clootors and medicines without relief, but one dollar's worth of Catarrho one oared me." Catarrhotoue can't Xai1; it's guaranteed. Two months treat. went $1,00; trial 00. ■ We know what all rood doc- tors think of Ayers Cherry Pectoral. Ask yourown doc- tor and fwd out.
