The Exeter Times-Advocate, 1934-11-29, Page 3THE EXETER TIMES-ADVOCATE THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 1084 At no expense to you . If you suffer from rheumatism, sciat­ ica, lumbago or neuritis you should try Kruschen Salts right away because your druggist is offering a FREE trial pf Kruschen for a limited time only. Ask. him for the Kruschen Giant Package which contains a regular bottle and a FREE Trial Bottle. After using the Trial bottle, continue with the Regular bottle—unless you are not completely convinced that Kruschen will do every­ thing claimed for it, in which event your druggist will return your money if you take back the regular package unopened. ^But millions of people testify as to Kruschen’s effectiveness, for in 119 dif­ ferent countries nothing else has been found that gives the same results as Kruschen. Get your package without delay. The supply of Free Trial bottles is limited. ing the Royal Winter Fair.

TO RECEIVE CERTIFICATES CENTRALIA CARLOAD REACHES THE WEST area Three young men of Goderich are to receive certificate from the R^al Humane Society of Canada for sav­ ing the life of Dorothy McQuillan from the waters of Nine-mile Creek last summer. The heroic youths are Fred Price and! George iFilsinger of Goderich and George Feagan who lives near Goderich. The various ministers of ithe have received letters from Briclge- ford Sask., acknowledging receipt of the carload of fruit, vegetables, etc. which was shipped from Centralia ■on October 27th. This carload .reached its destination on November 5th and was distributed amo'ng ithe needy of the surrounding country.

SWAN CENTRALIA and in Pay envelopes, such as those revealed by the Price-Spreads -commission at Ottawa, can mean only meagre necessities for the employee receiving them and; no such luxuries as radio or motor cars or telephones, by which the prosperity of the nation is sometimes judged. *v ♦ “Passing the buck” was a familiar sport at the nomination meeting Friday evening and as is usually the case both sides suf­ fered in the attempt. The public is none the wiser as to just what took place in connection with relief measures and other questions during the early sessions of the municipal council this year. Charges and counter-charges were made and refuted and as it was impos­ sible to know whom or what to believe consequently all suffered—’ in the attempt. There were possibly more ladies present at meeting in the Town Hall on Friday evening previous meeting of the kind. As ed at the whole affair we wonder will be. the nomination laet than at many a many of the men were disguet- what the reaction of the ladies * * * Spending large sums of money on public enterprises to provide work for the unemployed is one of the ways of creating employment and assisting men to maintain their self respect. It has a far reach­ ing effect. Every stick of timber used has its origin in the forest. It passes from the lumberjack to the mill owner, and from mill own­ er to factory. It calls for transportation. It requires tools and machinery, light, heat and! power, all in their turn calling upon manpower to operate and produce. It takes us back to the mines for the minerals, to the steel mills for steel and calls into operation branch after branch of industry that would be impossible to sum up in a s’hort editoral. The effect is far reaching. But on the other hand what about the taxpayer who has to pay, whose means are limited and who finds meeting obligations a physical impossi­ bility and! a strain on his mental attitude 'towards governments and humanity in general and of 'those in high places in particular. True, more work means more bread and butter, and more bread and but­ ter means more wheat and beef. But in addition to public works or in place of them what would happen if labor ’was set to work providing the long overdue necessities for a comfortable home, particularly farm homes where such necessities would relieve some of the drudgery and make work a. pleasure. The Bible Society Owing to the illness of the branch president (H. Jennings) and the field secretary Rev. D. Bright, we were unable to hfold'ithe annual meet­ ing of the local branch o’f the Bible Society this year. To prevent the branch from closing up completely the secretary-treasurer has request­ ed twenty-four house to house the whole area ancial isupiport. collectors will collectors to make a canvass as usual, of for badly needed fin- We are sure the do their work well and they will be kindly received and encouraged by all the friends of this noble and Christian cause. The ■branch contributed eighty -seven dol­ lars last year, and as far as the col­ lectors have reported' this year the givings are double that of last year or two. We hope that such will be the result all along the line. There; is no Christian enterprise of more 'im­ portance, than giving the whole gospel to the whole world. Since the “Day of Pentecost” the Christian church has been translated for, and circulating among, and interpreting the Holy Scriptures to all classes of people. When the Christian church was born the nations said “We do hear them speak in our own tongues the wonderful works of God.” Now the Bible Society is speaking to the nations in nearly seven hundred tongues. No Bible Society — No Bibles; no Bibles—no Missions; no Missions—no churches; no churches —no Christ for the world. To with­ hold cur support ‘from the Bible Society is to disobey Christ’s final command to His church for all places and ages, and thus it reads “Go Ye into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature.” Let all the churches unite in one big drive this year and put the Exeter branch at the top of the list where it was five*years ago. If each family, within our branch would give twenty five cents, the total would reach two hundred and fifty dollars. Surely this iis not asking too much for such a worthy cau-'e. All the givers will accept the sincere thanks of the Ex­ ecutive for past support and continue to lend a helping hand. J. W. Down, Sec’y-Treas. C. T. U.W I 1 The regular meeting iof the W.C.

Although we had a large garden as such go in this, part we were go- i ing to be very short on the usual variety of vegetables due to the I drought. But had decided to try and get along but youi’ timely efforts we will be comportaible in that respect now. give you is: though we have actually starved it will more pleasure living through now. Possibly it is hard people to realize just are here and it .is hard to. too. Most farming is straight wheat growing here. I have threshed ten farmers this fall and total all graine was just over 4,00(0 bushels of wheat Our average price has been near 60c. a bus. I have seen over 35,0'00 bushels on nearly the same lands. One farmer had 80 bus. on 3 20 acre farm; one 50 <bus. on 32-0* acre farm another 30 ibus. on 32D! acre farm, while the largest total was 1320 bus on 9 60 acre farm. And we haven’t much alternative either. We have been milking a few cows but some­ times it is impossible to sell butter. The towns are small, so no local de­ mand!. Cream we have to ship 100 miles iso that side line is very erra­ tic. Add to this the poor outlet of beef cattle. I shipped five head over two years old and my check said $27.00. Not as much as it cost to transport them to market. This stock was hardly fit for market but we are forced to get rid of some on account of feed shortage. I have 20 head left We should like to , but can’t make out Portreeve, Sask., Nov. 13 Exeter Community I Dear People,— We wish to thank all you people that donated toi the car of vegetables etc., that was sent to Portreeve. I think there were 146 families received goods from the car. Each family received', two' sacks of pota­ toes, 1 of turnips, 1 pumpkin, 1 cit­ ron about two gallons of beams, a pail of onions and about 7 pounds of carrots and beets; also three cab-) bages. The potatos were a wonderful help as the potato crop was eo> poor. A lot of people would have had fair gardens dry as the summer was if it hadn’t been for the grasshop­ pers. They got so much of the gar­ dens just as it came through ground. Mr. Sceviour was a very busy yesterday. Wc have had nothing but our for two years now.

The president (then the chair and after (a. short business session 'the study of the clip sheet was taken up, the subject being “Liquor advertising.” On­ tario is the only province where liquor advertising is banned. It ie ■permitted in the U. .S. since 'the re­ peal of the 18th amendment. It is stated that 3 out of the 4 Toronto -dailies would not accept liquor ad­ vertising if it were legalized. Many other dailies isay the .same, as well .as at least 20 weeklies. Advertising I creates a demand for the article ad- jveitised. The brewers are wide . awake to this fact, and they have; their publicity departments with clever u and well paid executives. They are prepared to pay well and it means loss of revenue to those I papers which refuse to accept their I material. Deei* -are reported to be scarce in Northern Ontario, but such is not the case in Huron County, where 17 have been reported within the past few days. A herd of fourteen were seen, in Saratoga swamp north of Goderich. One has been killed by an automobile and! one was run down by dogs and had to be destroyed. The venison is being distributed among charitable institutions. Provincial Constable McCoy stated recently. Near Gorrio on Saturday a farm­ er came across a deer in an exhust- ed condition, it being chased for miles by dogs. At. Zurich a deer was struck by a car and suffered a broken log. It was shot.

In January 19 31 the township made a seizure of chat­ tels of Roland Klein,feldt, owner of the equity of redemption in the land and! advertised the goods foi* sale. The township, however, abandoned the sale and, Mr. Douglas said the township authorities informed him a settlement had been made about the tax arrears. In June, 1931, the township made a second seizure, sold the goodls and realized the sum of -$19 4 for them. By the time of this sale, Douglas al­ leged before the county judge, chat­ tels had been removed from the farm. Douglas offered the lands for sale in 1931 and, the sale, proving abortive, took possession of the pro­ perty. Two weeks later, Douglas said the township seized his grain and chattels. Douglas asserted, ho had an offer from one Stuart, of Mit­ chell, to .purchase the grain but, when the seizure was lifted after a few days, Stuart declined to accept tho grain at the price he had pre­ viously been willing to pay. Douglas brought action to recover $'5 00 for damages and for taxes that he was obliged to pay. J. W. Pickup, ICC., appeared for tho township; R. IT, Elliott for G. G. Gilson and R. L. Kollock for Douglas. BARN STRUCK The barn on the farm of Mr. Choe, Laporte, north of Drysdale, now oc­ cupied by Noel Laporte, was struck by lightning recently and burned to the ground.

So for persons over thirty it is just as smart and busi­ ness-like to plan to enjoy good health as it is to plan to enjoy a good income. And it’s just as much a matter of plain common sense to check up on yourself. In health, your shortcomings are, at first, likely to be those annoying, not-oxactly-well feelings. At such tunes, if your blood wore tested, it would most likely be found “low in count”. This means a shortage of red corpuscles and the corpuscles themselves short of haemoglobin. Make up this double shortage, and you'll come up to normal health again. Neglect it and serious results may follow. Observing, in his practice, tho importance of keeping the vitality of tho blood up to normal, a Canadian authority originated a. blood­ building preparation which has boon helping run-down people back to health for nearly half a century. This preparation, now known the world over as Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, definitely increases the blood ‘‘count” in tho majority of cases, thereby restoring vitality, steadying nerves, imparting strength and toning up tho whole sys­ tem. So the person over thirty who finds good health slipping, m well advised to take at least, a JlO-day treatment of this ^excellent remedy. The element of chance has boon practically eliminated such a treatment, because tests recently made by an authority m a clinic of 40 people, proved conclusively by individual blood “count that Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills certainly improve the health by enriching the blood, Full size box 50c.esG ... ...... ...............
