FAT Now Feels Absolutely Fit A fat man is commonly supposed to be good-humored, easy-going. But there is many a fat man who finds the going far from easy. The follow ing letter describes one typical in stance:— “I began to put on weight this year, and developed stoutness in the stomach which was very ugly. I took Kruschen Salts each morning foi* a month, and reduced my weight 13 lbs. :So I kept on, and have now re duced 19 lbs. altogether. Apart from that, it has also- relieved me of head aches, and I feel absolutely fit each, morning, ready for a hard day’s work.’’—H. M. Taken every morning, Kruschen effects a perfectly natural clearance of undigested food substances and all excessive watery faste matter. Unless this wastage is regularly expelled Nature will eventually store it up out of the way in the form of ugly fat. Once Kruschen gets into, the blood you will soon see that double chin begin to go, and that too prom inent abdomen begin to disappear. TRIPS ON SKIRT, HURT PAINFULLY Mrs. Anne Maloney, aged Dublin woman, suffered a broken wrist, a severe gash in the forehead, and painful bruises when her heel caught on her skirts, causing her to plunge headlong down the cellar steps.

Gibbs, of Stratford, have been installed in the treasur er’s office. HIBBERT TO OPERATE OWN SCHOOL FOR CONTINUATION GRADES Hibbert municipality has discov ered it will be cheaper to operate its own continuation school than to send its public school graduates to the schools in adjoining districts. No special tax levy will be required tO' finance the school and its existence actually will assure the school board of a yearly surplus. Reeve Joseph Nagle, of Hibbert, sponsored the scheme by which the municipality will turn the township hall of staffa into a two-roomed con tinuation school. It can be operat ed at a yearly cost of $3,000’, it is estimated. The Government grant will amount to about $1,900 and a refund of $3,500 will be received from Perth County, including money now being paid for the education of township pupils in the neighboring schools. VISITORS AT CLINTON LEARN HOME IS ROBBED CLINTON — Ray Carer, public school principal, Toronto, who with Mrs, Carter and babe were spending the Christmas vacation with the former’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. T.

These be great days my masters! ******** It the physical conidtion of the average rural school house and the average township hall indicates the financial standing of the constituency they are expected to serve, this country nas been with the bow wows for several moons. If the schools and halls of the township are in this conidtion, who must the home be like? ******** No man can borrow himself into prosperity. President Roosevelt did well in his address to Congress to in dicate that the daytof predatory business and financing was passing. Over and over again, he pointed out that doing business on other people’s money was precarious to say the least, and that doing busi ness on other people’s money without the consent of the other people was a form of robbery. Carrying on at the expense of other people’s labor when that labor was not adequately remunerated is but enother form of slavery, however artfully the offence may be disguised. ******** JUST ONCE MORE Once again we urge parents to keep a rod in pickle for the youngsters who persist in running the streets when motor traffic is lively and the streets are a bit slippery. We have just heard of a little chap who was busy with his sleigh but who got in the way of a car. The little fellow was hit. We may add that he is still dead. That’s the grim and terrible way with motor car accidents. Those cars hit terribly hard. So, (boys and girls, please keep on the sidewalks. 99 out of every 100i motorists are careful, but even they cannot stop their cars when they most desire to do' so. Then there is the occasional reckless driver who simply hits and kills. He may be the driver who will overtake you, my boy. **♦♦.**♦* DANGEROUS We have just heard of a young man who was a bit leg weary as he was out on the road in the wee sma’ ’oor,s aylnt the twal not so long ago. AS'he kept on his way he found himself passing a farmer’s residence and decided to “borrow” a horse with halter and saddle. The hour whs late so the bright and venturous youth en tered the stable without asking leave Of the owner and took the horse and sped away on his journey. Having gone as far as he de sired., he apparently turned the horse loose evidently thinking that the horse would return to his stable. In this conjecture he was entirely mistaken. Meanwhile the horse-owner missed the animal. Police got busy and the young man discovered that the King is in terested in people who take what is not their own and calls them a very ugly name. The King failed to see any joke in the coilduct of the youth. How has it come to pass that s(ome of the folk of this country think it quite the proper thing to act as''this youth acted? One reas on is that magistrates have come to share the public opinion that escapades such as this young man figured in are “larks” and to be condoned because the youths “mean no harm” and must be "given a good deal of latitude” as they "have their fling” and "sow their wild oats.” For this reason the youths while they must be "guilty’ are to be "let off on suspended sentence.” Meanwhile the youth who thus "borrows” is regarded as something like a hero and as such is regarded by every school boy who is aware of his exploits. The place for a good many scores of "leg-weary” youth is at home and in bed. When they "borrow” or in plain words, when they steal, the place for them is at the government woodpile under the •strict supervision that spineless parents fail to supply. There is a growing opinion that the suspended sentence is a prolific breeder of contempt for law. The magistrate who gives Suspension of sentence should be under obligation to see that the sentenced party goes straight, When the party is thus easily dealt With the magistrate himself should be personally required to make good for any inconvenience caused by the wrong doer.
