Complaint
Few people, especially children,
escape an. attack of summer com
plaint during the hot weather. (
Summer complaint begins with a
profuse diarrhma very often accom
panied by vomiting and purging.
The matter excreted from the
stomach has a bilious appearance,
and that from the bowels watery,
whitish, ill-smelling, or even odorless.
When the children show any sign
of looseness of the bowels the mother
should administer a few doses of Dr.
Fowler’s Extract of Wild Straw
berry So as to bring quick relief.
This medicine lias been on the
market for the past 94 years. Re

Sunday in August,
Two spinsters were discussing
men. “Which would you desire
most in a husband*-—braiins, wealth
or appearance?” asked one. “Ap
pearance,” snapped the other, “and
the sooner the better.”
Upon request of the Times-Advo-
eate, 1 am writing a rapid survey
of the trip which I took this sum
mer. It was through the kindness
of our principal, Mr. E. J. Wet hey.
that I was able to leave the presid
ing duties of the examinations and
car? on rhe journey a tew days
prior to the end of the school term.
On the morning of Thursday. June
27th, we. Mr. John McLaren, of the
Wyoming Continuation School staff
and myself, left my parents’ home
at Forest for the border at Sarnia.
Within an hour we had passed the
officials on both side of the river
and we were on our way westward.
This crossing was unceremonial with
very few questions asked by either
national officials. These conditions,
however, were greatly changed after
July 1st and we like many others,
were obliged to return an all Cana
dian route.
The road to Manitoba consisted of
the highway through Northern
Michigan, crossing to Strait of Ma
ckinac at Mackinac City and St. Ig-
nace by way of a ferry, through
Northern Wisconsin and Minnesota
to Duluth, then on to Winnipeg by
way of Noyes and Emerson.
We travelled along magnificent
highways, but much of the country
through Northern Michigan was
swamp and bush which was not very
attractive. However, Wisconsin and
Minnesota proved much better envir
onment.— the latter broadened out
into prolific prairie land. It took us
three days to reach Winnipeg, camp
ing in cabins at Blaney Park and
Grand Rapids before our arrival. We
carried our own camping equipment
which included a tent, stove and
other material required for eating
| and sleeping. The tent was used
I when the weather permitted. We
bought one complete meal between
the points of Forest and Vancouver;
all the others were our own pre
paration or provided by relatives.
After spending part of the first
Sunday in Winnipeg, which was
devoted to a church service, a walk
around some of the down town
streets and a visit to the Parliament
Buildings and University grounds,
we started for Basswood. Upon our
arrival, we stayed a week, visiting-
relatives whom I had never seen
before, attending Brandon Fair and
visiting the Riding Mountain Na
tional park.
Our next point to visit was Cal
gary. the stampede city. The stam
pede performance is the only one of
its kind in the world. On our way
we passed through the cities of Re
gina. Moose Jaw, Swift Current,
Medicine Hat, Lethbridge and Cal-
gaiy. We remained in or around
Calgary for four days, visiting the
nil fields of Turner Valley and the
Prince of Wales ranch of 4.400
acres. On this ranch there is only
100 acres of land under cultivation
and there are only about 80 head
of cattle.
EMPLOYING GRANDMOTHER
AS EXTRA HOUSE WORKER
GOOD IDEA DURING HARVEST
Keeping Her Services on Business-
Like Basis Satisfactory to All.
By James Anthony in the London
Free Press
When I came upon granma she
was busy sweeping off the veranda
in her village home. “We’ve been
back in the farm all week,” she ex
plained. There was poise of the
head and a jauntiness about this
fine lady that was good to see. I
was sure that there was something
in her eye that I had not seen there
for some time. Her whole attitude
told me that she had discovered
there was a real place for her in
the world. 1 was curious, for, as a
rule, a week spei>t on the farm by
the old people in the busy months
of harvest is a period when nerves
become frazzled and life becomes a
long weariness of parties.
“You were minding the children?’
I suggested.
“That was exactly what I was
not. doing. The hack of my hand
to looking after anyone’s children,
especially my daughter-in-law’s. No.
I was back doing housework and
being paid for it.”
My ears ‘pricked up for folks have
a way of expecting grandad and
grandma to work for nothing.
The Arrangement
What was the arrangement? ’Phis
fine housekeeper undertook to work
on the condition that she was to be
the boss in the kitchen. “I know all
about that sort of thing,” she ex
plained. “It’s a bit late in life for
me to start taking orders. I told
my daughter-in-law this. So the ar
rangement was made.”
“Do you find the work hard?”
“Dad and I did not leave the
farm because we were decrepit. How
could the work be hard when we
have electric.iay for everything and
running water everywhere? There is
no substitute for hustle and elbow
grease-shut these new things on the
farm are lifesavers for the women.
Experience has taught me what
hungry farm men want to eat. I
It would take too long to tell all
•he things seen at the stampede, hut
cowboys riding wild horses, buck
ing horses, decorating the horns of
steers, roping calves and riding wild
steers were sights often heard of
from the wild, woolly west. The
chuck wagon races were events well
worth the distance travelled to see.
These provided breathtaking spills
and excitement.
From Calgary we visited the
National Parks at Banff and Jasper
where we saw much wild game such
as, moose, bear, deer and antelope.
The mountain scenery was beyond
human description and the memory
will be long lasting. The spot,
which, in my opinion, resembles par
adise on earth was the seclucled
haven of Lake Louise. The lake, the
glacier clad mountains, the sky and
♦he serenity gavo a feeling of divin
ity which one can experience in few
other places.
From here we travelled across tho
mountain roads, which in places was
a thrill almost beyond imagination.
The way -was high and narrow, and
the roads often rough and treacher
ous. Many places, high upon the
mountain ledge, ‘here was not room
for two cars to pass and a small er
ror in manourering might mean dis
aster a thousand or perhaps two
thousand feet farther down in a val
ley.
We entered the mountain drive at
the Kicking Horse Pass and for two
and one half days we zig-zagged
around mountain peaks until we
reached Vancouver.
We visited Vancouver and the
capital city of Victoria for four days
enjoying the climate and fresh
ocean breezes. The latter city was
one pregnant with it flowery beauty
and maginifeent English homes. The
average temperature for summer is
65 degrees F. and for winter 40 de
grees F.
Our return journey was far more
rapid and not as full of adventure.
I had the great pleasure of spend
ing one night a? the home of Mrs.
Sweet of Frobisher in Southern
Saskatchewan. Mrs. Sweet is the
mother of Jack Sweet who has been
living in Exeter for the past three
'years with his uncle Mi'. C. V.
Pickard.
The latter par? of the journey con
sisted of a boat trip from Ft. Wil
liam to Sault S*h. Marie. From the
latter point w»- visited Callender
where we saw ‘he famous Dionne
Quintuplets.
In all, we were away six weeks and
we travelled 7,000 miles with only
three flat tires and a cracked wind
shield.
In many parts of the west the
crops appeared quite encouraging,
but in the sections of Saskatchewan
around Regina, the heat and
drought had reduced all growth to
a desert.

FARMERS
If you can use able-bodied willing youth
for harvesting and general farm help,
apply immediately to your Reeve, Agri
cultural Representative or local Employ
ment Office.
SCHOOL BOYS
If you are willing to serve your country's
needs by helping on the farm, enrol
with your school principal at your own
school. Watch for enrollment dates.
SCHOOL GIRLS
If you are willing to serve by selling war
certificates enrol with your school principal at

The maintenance of a continuous supply of food for Britain’s fighting

had by son get me what was needed
the cooking and I enjoyed every
minute of it. I was no auxiliary or
anything like that but mistress of

looked for no favors and I got. none.
What I got was wages, real money.
It looked good and my son is under
no obligation to me. The rest of
the family do not imagine that we
are up to any tricks that will affect
the final distribution of the proper

Good Business
Surely there is a hint of a good
many things in all this. Even grand
ma does not care to work for ‘thank
you’s” and grandad is in the same
boat. The “in-laws” when they
have any respect, don’t want any
one to give something for nothing.
Heartburnings are saved all round.’1
A good (business arrangement wrong
no one. This way of doing things
keep family ties wholesome and
strong, a condition of affairs that
cannot exist when the square deal is
displaced by an easy good nature
that borders on softheadedness.
You see, grandma’s arrangement
to he queen of the kitchen prevent
ed nagging. Further, she was put
on her mettle to do a good day’s
work, a job that she did with fine
results. Her children know her
worth in the. markets of the world
and respect her accordingly. She
has the abiding satisfaction of know
ing that she is a real person. She
can up and dust .fol’ herself any
time. All this came about because
she and her children had the good
sense to do business in a business
way. ■
