Paving iroads is expensive He advocated leaving gravel roads. “Why should we spend such elab orate sums on the highway. If we are going to carry on an extrava gant road making program, it will be a very short time when the ex penditure will far exceed the reven ue,” Pavements, he continued are not beneficial to towns and villages in the County. It takes- trade away from them. He said that while it would alleviate unemployment at the moment, it created it later on. Reeve McNall, of Blyth, vigor ously upheld the expenditure on the road in question and1 at times the discussion developed into a debate between him and Reeve McNabb. “We have been without a paved road and we have as much right to a road as municipalities, served by the Blue Water Highway,” he declared. Reeve Leiper expressed the opin ion that the municipalities in quest ion would rather have the strip pav ed twenty feet for half the length than ten feet for the full length. Reeve Goldthorpe did not see why the question was not brought up at the January session for discussion. The farmers in this county are in poor circumstances and if you going to tax them any more will put them on the street. Warden Elliott said he did not go to Toronto as a deputation. He went with it Mr. Macaulay had asked’, his advice about the Blue Water High way. “It was not the wish of the County Council to lay pavement. W'hat we wanted was the road brought up to standard for pave ment for the sake of labor involved.’ Reeve Wright said the building of roads is never going to get . this county into a prosperous condition. Agriculture is the backbone of the country. We’ve got to ’get back to the land. He advocated petition ing the Government to ask each municipality to look after its own relief and reminded! the members that the Dominion Government as^- sumes one-third of the cost of High ways.

The process of digestion depends largely on the condition of the stomach, and when it is unable to do its work properly it generally complains. When the food is not digested properly it forms a mass in the stomach and fermentation takes place and causes the rising and souring of food, gas formation and bloating in the stomach, belching of wind, heartburn and other diges tive complaints.

Afternoon Session The afternoon session was presid ed over by Reeve R, J. Bowman of Brussels, whose appointment by the Warden was authorized by Council at the morning session, to allow Mr. Elliott’s attendance at a political meeting in his behalf, held1 in Exeter The same privilege will be accorded Mr. Balalntyne today. A deputation from Grand (Bend was present and Reeve Sweitzer on their behalf asked for police juris diction foi\ Grand Bend, intimating they would' like a county constable appointed and recommended that Joseph Ravelie be given which was endorsed. Ex-Reeve Henderson Township was asked1 to address the Council. He said he was pleased to meet old friends and glad to come to the meeting, which he always en joyed. He had been appointed; to the Wingham High School Board. He was not in favor of reductions in teachers’ salaries. In Wingham the Principal’s salary had been reduced from $3,60(0' to $3,00'0. Only a few days elapsed when he got a better school at a higher salary. “It is not fair to the children in Huron when we have to cut salaries to the point where we can only procure second or third-rate teachers,” he said. Ex-Warden McKibbon of Wind ham also spoke, and congratulated Chairman Bowman on the order he was maintaining. Mr. H. Cox, of Colborne and J. J. Hayes also briefly addressed the Council. The report of the Good' Roads Com)- mission was adopted, as follows: “Eight meetings of the commission have been held .this year, and the total of the committee paysheets is $20'8.60. O.ne meeting was held in. Toronto at the time Of the Good Roads con vention, and- trucks- were examined, since it was planned to make a 'pur chase. Sessions of the were attended and many addresses'* were heard. An application under Measure was made for work, total ing $350,000 and approval was se cured for -an amount of $200,0001 of which $120,000 wias estimated as labour cost. Since the attitude of the Council regarding this matter was not known, it has not been possible to formulate definite recom mendations regarding the work for the season. If it is desireid to raise no more money than last year, by transferring certain costsi to the construction lacocunt, the cost will be: General and maintenance, $61,- 000, subsidy, $30,500; possible relief expenditure, $66,000, subsidy $46,- 0'010; total $127,000., subsidy $76,- 500 leaving $’51,000 payable by the County or about 1.2 mills as the rate was last year. If the total of t’he amount proved is absorbed, the cost to county will be approximately follows: ordinary general and maintenance, $61,000 subsidy, $30,- 500; relief expenditure, $200,000, subsidy, $140,0100'; total $261,000, subsidy $170;500, total leaving $89,- 500 payable by the County approxi mately 2 mills. Naturally all of (these figures are more or less indefinite, due to the uncertain proportion that the labour cost will be. These were computed on the basis of 60 per cent, labor and 40 per cent, ether costs, Which would apply .on grading and other similiar construction jobs, but there would be many Items on which this proportion would not apply. No calcium chloride lias been purchased for the County roads this I year and if it is not the intention (to approve of such expenditures, your commission would appreciate a upkeep of court that the position of Morris convention interesting tlie Relief iap- the as ruling, as many requests for dust layer have been received. One Rec truck has been turned in on the purchase of an Interna tional Model A4 truck, which pur chase was made through the Der partmeut of Highways. The motorcycle of the traffic of ficer has been exchanged for ■one, the County paying $200 Regarding the designation Zurich road as a Provincial way it is felt that (there are other County roads carrying through traffic but since the cation has been made by the Town ship of Hay, if the province js go ing to yay 90 or 100 per cent of the cost no reason to object to, the as sumption of this road can be seen.” Motions Cardiff-Gamble^—That (this County Council ask Crown Attorney Holmes to have Thomas Gundry’s duties dispensed with as County 'Constable.

Carried. iSaunders-Goldthorpe: That this Council continue the use of calcium chloride on all county roads where it affects the residents, as it not only prevents the menace and dan ger of dust, but preserves the sur face of roads.— 'Good Roads mittee. 6 Wil Rate Com- at 6 Huron The county hate was fixed mills at the meeting of County Council on Thursday morn ing, made up as follows: general county rate, 4.2 mills; county road rate, 1.2 mills and for provincial highways ,6 mills. The rate is the same as last year. A. R. G-. Smith, weed inspector of Ontario was introduced by Tan MacLeod, Agricultural Represenfttu- tive for Huron. He said that at the present moment more consider ation is being given to land prob lems than at any time in the his tory of Ontario. He asked co-oper ation of the members in backing up the local weed inspectors. In many localities marked changes have been accomplished. Weeds prevalent in some counties .are unknown in others and information regarding these might be passed on. In Water loo County a number of deaths in cattle were found it>o be due to swamps infested with water hem lock, which is poisonous. The rag weed is a native in Ontario but all others Smith weed, white around clover effects trade with England particu larly. Essex, Kent, Elgin and Lamb ton counities Nave put on special campaigns to combat this weed and 250i,000 school children of the prov ince have been asked to use their little eyes to search out this weed. Reeve Eckert informed the speak er that he had found the weed on his farm and noticed patches like oil around it. He was treating it with atlascide and intended ploughing it up. Mr. Smith read a departmental description of the doddei* weed, the English names for which are love vine, lessei’ or thyme dodder. The clover infested with it shouu-d be mown down with a scythe, destroyed and t'he field ploughed. Warden Elliott thanked Mr. Smith for his “brilliant and drastic’’ ad dress tically have been warned >a small flower, imported.. Mr. against ithe dodder vine-like weed with which winds itself and lives on it and and the members enthusias- applauded. Crops Not Promising McLeod, Agricultural ReproIan sentative, is an informative address, told council the crops in Huron are not ,as promising looking as in past years. “We have been credited in this county with high acreage- in fruit and vegetables, largely apples,” Frost h'as done 'considerable damage and 80 percent, of ithe fruit crop has been injured, particularly Baldwins, greenings, pip'pings and spies. It is a severe blow to orchard men who have a large percentage of baldwins It is impossible to tell what datm’age has been done but the- trees dam aged are yellow in leaf and stinted in foliage. The dry weather is work ing against the trees. The peach and pear orchards There is ia this year in are planting are all gone- change in >the county that several farmers more hay crops and this is providing pasturage. Many tire planting corn and will have two or three time's the acreage of corn ths year. This will require close watching for corn borer. Increased acreage means greater attention in combatting this pest. Live stock meeting have been held in Clinton and a county asso ciation formed. It is purposed to hold, a meeting for cattle dealers in Clinton on June 2.7th, They have never got together to discuss beef cattle. Junior work was being fully carried on.

Lack of bile means poor digestion. Food stay, too long in your bowels and decays. Your system is poisoned. You go through the misery of gas, bloating, pain, heartburn, You have a dark brown abominable taste in your mouth and bad breath. Your skin’s unhealthy and often your head aches. Your whole system seems out of kilter. How can you rcasonablj, expect to clear up a condition liko this by merely taking salts, min eral water, oil, laxative candy or chewing gum, or roughage? These only move the bowels, and that's not enough. You must wake up your liver bile. Avoid calomel (mercury). Take Carter’s Little Liver Pills. They’re purely vegetable, gentle, sure and safe.
