PhJne If You Have High Blood Pressure You Must Be Careful • When the Blood Pressure is much above normal there ie always the danger of rupture of a blood vessel. most frequently in the Brain and producing a stroke, or in the Kid- neys, producing Bright's Disease. One should guard against over-exer- tion or excitement and-take-- HACKING'S HEART AND NERVE REMEDV to dissolve the Uric Acid deposits that form in the Veins and Arteries, mating them hard and brittle. ThiS remedy is a wonder; it builds up the entire system by Purifying the Blood, Strengthening the Heart and by producing a normal and healthy condition of the Nerves. Mre. Wm.

Pro ,Aistor Ai 4 !Witch'. THURSDAY, JULY 1st., 1920, WHO FIXES THE PRICE The FarmersSun recently had an editorial which read in part as fol- lows: Take, for example, the matter of price fixing. We (farmers). go to a doctor or dentist, lawyer or brick -layer, machinery agent or grocer, and he _sends us a bill for services .renderohd - or goods sold, asthe case may he. , You • have 'nothing to say as to what he shall charge. „ On. the other hand, you produce the greatest . necessitiyeein, the ,,workte. some- .: thingthat everybody must have, and yet you have ,), for absolt tely no ay ati, what you shall 1. the food you sell. The other fel- \ s. low fixes* the price for the com- modities you buy and the price • for the commodities you sell. The view of trading here express- ed is very commonly held by farmers and it is one of the "wrongs" upon- wiii.2h U.F.O. °Mors' ring • the chan- es. . Bur it ,is quite evident ,that the. view isnn entirely wrong one. Does anyone think that the buyers of eggs for example, would not buy them for something less than forty „ or fifty cents per dozen, as the case may be, if they could? Wouldn't the dealers hogs, cattle and grain buy these cheaper if they 'could? Suppose the farmer undertakes to fix. the price of)his hogs and says they are to be 20c per pound. ' The dealer knows that he can get only 19 1-2 cents for hogs and coneequent-e ly will not pay 20c. In paying he must have regard •fOr what he can get. Does the packer fix the price? To some extent, but not altogether. If. the packer could do it he would buy hogs at lOc per pound and sell his cured meat at $1.00 per pound. Thai would just look like goo.l. business to him. But he can t fix he price of either hogs or bacon except within comparitively narrow limits. He must pay enough for hogs to induce farmers to raise hogs, and he must keep the price of baton vithifi reach of the consumers. - The dentist and doctor, too, cannot go beyond ,certain limits without ruin- ing their business. It is quite evid- ent that should a dentist charge $5.00 for extracting a tooth, farmers and others would refuse his services. This shows that the dentist hasn't the whole say in fixing his charge. Neither has the maker or seller of implements the fixing of his prices. If he has, why doesn't he fix them ten or a hundred per cent higher?. Is it because he is modest or charit- able? We all know that it isnot. It is because, for one reason and an- other, hecould not sell at higher two to make a bargain." There are, of course, occasionally exceptional circumstances in which profiteering can be practised. But such. profiteering is not confined to business men. .During a snow block- ade in cod weather, when there. was scarcity of fuel farmers have asked what may fairly be called exhorbit- ant prices for loads of wood or old rails. Pc'ople are touch alike in all walks of life. TIIE GAME OF POLITICS AT OTTAWA Canada has, within the past week, n treated te one.
