HOLIDAY ACCIDENTS
The joy of having a free holiday
<or Sunday is often spoiled by the num
ber of holiday and week-end acci-
-dents. The death toll during these
periods is not confined to those who
•are travelling in cars as there are a
great many catastrophies at holiday
points such as lake resorts, etc.
To-morrow is Dominion Day, so
let all strive to keep this day as free
from sorrow as possible. A little care
goes a long way at the beach and
such places and those who follow the
’’Courtesy” campaign of the Depart
ment of Highways will do much to
keep the highways safe.
The record of accidents following
week-ends and holidays reminds one
-of the casualty lists during the war.
This great number of accidents and
■deaths may be cut to small figures
when each person accepts their
responsibilities.

IFIRE
The innocent cigarette stub or
■match that is not properly extinguish
ed or a picnic fire that is carelessly
left, may be the means of much de
struction. During the dry spells of
the summer great damage has been
rlone by persons who have been a lit
tle careless. Remember as you drive
along the road, a lighted cigarette
thrown carelessly out of the car may
be the means of destroying the crop
of some hard-working person. A fire
left to once again flare in the summer
breeze may be the cause of burning
much valuable timber. When you
light a picnic fire remember that it
takes years for a tree to grow into a
useful size.
Care in the above matters may be
the means of saving great destruction
from fires. Use safety fire methods.

THE AUTO TRAILER
It has been said that the world Is
on wheels and when one watches the
traffic these days it is difficult to dis
agree with the statement. This last
few years the trailer has come into
•general use and people are using them
more and more, in fact it has reach
ed such great proportions that uni
form regulations have been adopted
throughout Canada. The regulations
have' to do mostly with sanitation and
those who travel by trailer or con
template doing so, should make them
selves familiar with the law. -
It is prohibited to live permanent
ly in a trailer within the limits of
any city, town or municipality, except
within the provisions of all local by
laws and regulations. All automobile
trailers and their occupants are sub
ject to the provisions or regulations
respecting disease control, under the
Public Health Act.

moulds or sherbet cups and allow to
freeze.
If you top this dessert with addi
tional whipped cream and a whole

without further attention and is de-
cidely attractive for a dessert for a
summer dinner party.

HIS BACKACHE
WAS UNBEARABLE
Kruschen Brought Him Relief From
Pain
This man of 31 was prematurely ag
ed by backache, when he should have
been enjoying the best years of his
life, Here he tells how Kruschen
helped to restore him to health, after
months of pain:—
“I was in hospital for two weeks,
owing to kidney trouble. When I was
discharged I felt like an old man, al
though I am only 31. If I stooped
to do anything it was agony to
straighten up again. Several people
advised me io try Kruschen Salts, I
tried them and found they gave me
relief from pain and I felt better in
every way, I cycle 28 miles a day to
and from work and shall keep up the
daily dose of Kruschen because I can
now do the journey to and from work
and not feel any the worse for it.” —
S.V.C.
When the internal organs cease to
do their work, properly, impurities be
gin to accumulate in the system, and
cause troublesome symptoms. Kru
schen Salts help to stimulate the liver
and excretory organs to healthy, reg
ular activity, and thus assist them to
rid the system of harmful impurities.

i ing breakfast for most important

ped cream is used to top them.

Quintuplet Kittens Born:
at Palmerston
Siamese quintuplet kittens

Wilson, Palmerston, Four of
still live and give every indication of
thriving. The tiny animals are join
ed together by a fleshy band. The
four survivors are held, side by side,
all facing the same way. ,The fifth,
which died, was reversed compared
with the other four.. Its head faced
in the opposite direction, and it was
on its back. It was the weakling of
the quintuplet. It was unable to eat,
for while the others ate it could only
lie on its back and. feebly paw the
air, and the others would allow it to
remain in a nursing position. Mrs.
Wilson f'ed it with a spoon. When
the weakling died the mother cat is
said to have knawed it free from the
living kittens. The “jungle surgery”
was apparently successful for on last
inspection the four remaining show
ed no ill effects. Though fairy tight
ly held together they seem by in
stinct to know how to untangle them
selves at feeding time.
