When they dp come, there is always a cause for them. Here is a little lesson on growing old, by a woman of 78:— "For the last five years I have taken Kruschen Salta and I tell you truthfully I could not live without them. I am 78 years old. I have hardly a pain in my body, and I feel almost as young as I did at 48. I give the credit to Kruschen Salts. No one will believe my age.” —(Mrs.) C. M. Most people grow old long before their time because they neglect one vital need of health—the need for internal cleanliness. Eventually they start the Kruschen habit. Then, probably for the first time in years, they start getting rid every day of all waste matter from the system. They begin to feel energetic and happy. In a word, they’ve got that "Kruschen Feeling.” MANY ENTRIES FROM CANADA AT FAMOUS CHICAGO SHOW JFarmers from six of the nine pro­ vinces of Canada are competi­ tors in both the 41st International Live Stock Exposition and 22nd In­ ternational Grain and Hay Show, being held, at Chicago, November 3 0, to December 7, inclusive. , In the live stock divisions Can­ adian entries were listed for the competitions in 12 breeds, The largest entries from the Dominion in the cattle department are from well-known breeders of Aberdeen Angus and Shorthorns, in both Eas­ tern and Western Canada. All the entries in the sheep classes are from Ontario, some of whom have been consistent winners for several years. About 20 head of Clydesdale horses from owners in Ontario and Saskatchewan will be shown and there are several entries of Belgian and Shires from Ontario, Manitoba and Saskatchewan, Six Canadians will be among the 2'2 judges selected to name the prize winners in both the live stock and grain and hay entries. The peer of judges this year is a Can­ adian, J. Charles Yule, Carstairs, Alberta, General Manager of the Calgary Stampede and Exhibition and breeder of pure bred Short­ horns, who will judge the steers, which is regarded as the heaviest and major assignment of the In­ ternational, This will be the first time in over 20 years a Canadian has been appointed to judge the steers at the famous .show at Chi­ cago. At all but two of the past 40 International Expositions the steer classes have been placed by experts from the British Isles or South Am­ erica. Other judges from Canada are: J. Irvine Black, Fergus, Ont., who will judge Oxford sheep. William Godard, Danfield, Ont., will place the ribbons on the Lincolns. Lio­ nel Orbell, Queenston, Ont., will place the Sufl’olks, and H. Noel Gib­ son. Mt. Brydges, Ont., the wethers ■of all breeds. James Laughland, of the Field Husbandry Department O.A.C., Guelph, will act as one of the judges in the Grain and Hay Show and will be one of three who will name the Wheat. King: also the monarchs of oats, barley, rye and flax. In the 1940 International Shows at Chicago, Canadian exhibitors won a total of 4>51 awards including 18 grand championship 13 reserve championships. Among the grand championships was the grand cham­ pionship for wheat, the 17th time this coveted award has been won by Canada at Chicago and the 25th time since the competition in wheat was introduced in 1911. It went to Francis Lloyd Rigby, of Wemb­ ley, Peace River, Alberta, for the second time in succession on a sample of Reward, a variety orig­ inated at the Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa. Canada is represented on the Board of Directors of both the In­ ternational Live ‘Stock Exposition and the Grain and Hay Show, by Dr. G. I. Christie, President, On­ tario Agricultural College, Guelph. Old Lady: "Here, my poor man, is a dollar foi’ you.” Tramp: "A Dollar! Lord bless yer, lady.

Tuckey has receiv­ ed the following letter from Signal­ man Chester Cornish expressing appreciation of the gift of a ring from the town council. * * * New Martinique Barracks, Bordon Hants, Hampshire, England, Wednesday, Oct. 16, 1940 To the Corporation of the Village of Exeter; I received your ring of apprecia­ tion today and was very glad to re­ ceive it. It was quite a while reach­ ing me as I was in the hospital when it came. When I came back I received it and 1 was never so glad in all my life to think the people back home were thinking of us boys who are over here trying to keep things in order. I was never very good at making speech­ es but I am taking this opportun­ ity for myself and all the boys from home, who are in active ser­ vice in England, to thank you and everybody who are doing the good work in Canada. I don’t think we boys from Exeter shall ever forget the good work Exeter is doing and I am sure that everyone of us in the Active Service and in the home defense will do all we can to keep England, Canada, and the 'British Empire from being slaves to a madman. Once again I take this opportunity of thanking the Reeve, Councillors and taxpayers of Exeter for this lovely ring. Yours sincerely, CHESTER CORNISH P.S.: If any one would care to write to us boys forward this ad­ dress to them. Say, Ben, drop us a line oi’ two as every letter is cer­ tainly welcome. My address: A40i87 Signalman C. C. Cornish, No. 1 Infantry Holding Unit, Base Post Office, Canada. Chief John Norry, who has been responsible for looking alter the transients during their sojourn in Exeter, recently received letters from two of the boys whom he be­ friended. These letters make in­ teresting reading/'-” They are as fol­ lows : Aidershot, England, Oct. 19, ,1940 Hello Jack: You must think I had forgot you and the ‘‘better ’oie” below the town hall. I should have written yon a long while ago so here goes. The last time I wrote was from Montreal. Well, last winter we were in Toronto in the Exhibition Grounds in the Horse Palace till spring, then we went to Valcartier in Quebec till the early summer. Then we left for what we thought was overseas but turned out to be Newfoundland. We were very dis­ appointed going there as we were fully trained and should have been in England long ago. Well we stayed there all sum­ mer, till August. We guarded that big airport they have for trans-At­ lantic planes and we were the only trained troops available at the mo­ ment. It was a dreary hole right in the middle of the bush, but at last we had orders to move and went to Halifax to join a convoy and go across. When we got to Halifax we were sent to Aidershot. Nova Scotia, where there were two companies to reinforce us and bring us up to full strength. We had been living in dugouts and sleeping in the mud and rain in Newfoundland and it was great to see lights and civilization again. We shipped out of Halifax 13,00 0 strong. Some regiments from Cal­ gary, Winnipeg and all over Can­ ada. ■ My buddy and I didn’t see much of the shore as we were leav­ ing because we had fourteen days C.B. to do and were working in the kitchen away below decks. We got the C.B. for a spree we had when we hit Halifax. We had a pretty good trip and were chased by It­ alian submarines near the coast, of Scotland the night before we land­ ed but we had a strong escort of destroyers who got rid of the subs in a hurry. That was our first experience in action and didn’t worry us as much as we expected. We landed in the north of Scot­ land at a place called Gounock and were put on trains and travelled two days to the south of England to here. It took so long because of air raids and they detoured us but we could see the bombs landing and the gun flashes in the sky from anti-aircraft fire. Everything is in blackness at night and we just sat in the dark, crowded like cattle, and watched the fun. But sitting in a railway seat with full pack is no joke especially with bully beef as the main diet. Aidershot is about 30 miles from London and we see the raids every night. They sure have made a mess of that town and they have blown part of our barracks to pieces too. We can hear Jerry overhead every night anytime after dark. But no­ body pays a lot of attention to him. He Is a poor shot 'anyway and its THE EXETER TIMES-ADVOCATE Imust cater to BRITISH MARKET liy Rev. James Anthony "I know the farmer’s difficul­ ties,” W. G. Mead, of Exeter, told during an interview this week re­ garding the reaction of the country to the new situation arising out of Hon. J. G. Gardiner’s recent visit to Britain in the interests of Canadian producers. “It’s this way,” Mr. Mead con­ tinued, “the British market is strong on quality in its cheese and Other dairy requirements. The British buyer knows the different foreign flavors and contents which sometimes get into cheese and but­ ter, He dislikes them so much that he often refuses to buy. We may as well look the facts in the face. We folk in Ontario are lacking in uniformity in our product. For this reason the British dealer cannot put a uniform article before his custo- ers. Ontario cheese does not al­ ways mean the same thing. There are producers of dairy products in other parrs or tne worm who can offer a uniformity thus making it harder for us to do our marketing. Cheese and butter manufacturers must have a uniform quality of milk.” “What about the flavors com­ plained of in milk?” “The flavors come from foreign matters,” he said. “That is a simple fact. Cows being fed tur­ nips, for instance, are almost sure to give flavored milk no matter what precautions are taken. More than that, if the milk is left where turnip or other odors prevail, the milk is sure to be affected, the milk is drawn from the udders, it should be removed with to a place free from all This is essential. Washing When using a cream separator it is necessary that it be washed after every milking, and thoroughly washed and scalded at that, ery portion of the machine comes in contact with the should be washed, brushed scalded. To be at its best, the must be from healthy cows, handl­ ed in a cleanly manner by healthy milkers and cooled immediately. Of course cream must be kept clean and free from foreign odors. The animal heat must be eliminated. “It must be remembered that we are up against keen competition If we settle down to the milk busi­ ness we must abide by the rules.” “What about the use o£ the mus­ ty grain in feeding the cows? Will it affect the milk flavor?” "Any food with an odor is al­ most sure to affect the flavor of the milk.” I was told. Asked what could be done about it, as a large amount of grain decidedly odorous this year. “There’s nothing for it but get rid,, of the odors. It helps this matter to turn the grain fre quently in the barn. It should he run through the fanning mill and fanned till the must is driven off Fresh air and sunshine are great helps. Governments can go only a little way in inducing folk to buy products they don’t like, when the appetizing dairy products are erly seeking admission to the kets.” only luck if he does hit anything worth while as he can’t see any­ thing during the blackout. I am a veteran myself now as one night my buddy ana I were on , guard when he dropped a few and one was pretty close and blew us flat on our pants and cut us up a bit but it was a long way from a hit, We are waiting for this little invasion of his, then we can show him how the Canucks can go to town. The last time they tried in the Midlands they came across in barges and were met by a Scottish regiment who went after them with the bayonet. They say the sea was full of bodies the next day. I just got back from Glasgow on a few days leave, it was swell. Say, excuse this scribble, Jack. I am writing on my knee and the light is poor as it is blackout time and we have no ink either so you understand. They take a while to reach you, but answer me, will you? Let me know if Scotty joined up,” will you? I had no reason to join or anything to fight for. I didn’t know where the next meal was coming from. But after all Can­ ada is our country and I would hate to sea a German cop in Exeter to meet me. Say, Jack, did I tell you I met the swellest girl in Montreal before I joined. She writes as steady as a clock. There are letters every week fom her. It is not the uniform she is after, either. You know I am wiser than that, Jack. So.when I get back it’s no more running I around for me. I’ll have enough money to give myself a start. Don’t be surprised to see us drop in on you some day and I won’t be look­ ing for a bed, either. The siren has just gone and we can hear Jerry over us now and we have to beat it. So toodle-oo Jack and write soon. RED Chief of Police, Exdter, Dear Jack: Just a couple of lines to say I am | in the army again. I am guarding German prisoners or war here. This is a pretty stiff job as we are doing 24 hrs. on and 24 hrs. off and have to he on the alert at all times as we have a pretty smart bunch here, about 60 per cent officers and they are always on the job trying to get away. We have had three escapes from this camp but they have all been caught again. It is getting quite cold but wt have plenty of heavy clothes. The food and quarters are good. There are about 200 soldiers here, all of whom are veterans. Shim Nickels is with me but he is the only one I know who was on the road. Well Chief, I guess I have no more news of interest to you but will be glad to hear from you any time you care to write. Bunny Butler. When cows’ forth- odors.

The plane flew along the shore­ line a quarter-mil© out and at a height of 1,0'00 feet in the after­ noon mist. The Canadians, stand­ ing at theii' guns, opened up as soon as they saw the Nazi markings. Private J. Torrens of Toronto got a burst away and roof spotters said smoke came from the plane’s tail. A few hundred yards along the coast Private E. M. Herndon of Thessalon, Ont., fired tracers that could be seen piercing the aircraft, The plane went directly over a gun manned by Private Nick F. Julius of St. Marys, Ont., who hit it square­ ly with another stream of fire. The Nazi dove on Julius’ post and machine-gunned it but did not suc­ ceed in hitting the gunner before the plane wobbled out to sea. It was estimated that about 250 rounds struck the plane in the few minutes it swept along the coast. Royal Air Force reconnaissance planes said the Nazi came down in the sea about foul’ miles from shore. Julius came to the regiment from a machine-gun holding unit three weeks ago and this was the first time he aircraft, finishing had ever fired at enemy He . was credited off the Dornier. with BAYFIELD MAN IS UNHURT WHEN TRUCK STRIKES TREE i Highway No. 21 Wednesday morn- into a tree.
