Growing Grapefruit at Clinton
Mr. George VanHorne is getting to
be quite .an amateur horticulturist.
Here’s the story. One morning he
was attacking half a grapefruit with
vigour when he suddenly discovered
a seed inside quite a long' sprout. Be
ing of an inquisitive turn of mind he
decided to find out if the seed would
grow, so into a pot it went and in the
course of time up caqie the plant. Mr.
VanHorne has been told it will neyer
produce fruit, but intends to wait and
see.—Clinton Neyvs-Record. M
Result of Acid Indigestion
“Before taking Kruschen,” a woman
writes, “I had very bad dizzy spells
and hot flushes, bad spells of acid in
digestion, and 1 was sko nervous at
times that tlie least thing would upset
me. I was about three years in that
condition,
“I could not tell you in words how
happy and glad I am to-day that I
gave Kr.usphen Salts a trial. I have
now taken them for 18 months. I
would not miss them for one day,
They are a great help to anyone who
suffers as I did, I feel in better health
to-day than I have for years, After
taking Kruschen for three weeks the
dizzy faints and hot flushes left me.
I now feel so bright and cheerful.
Kruschen Salts assist to keep you fit
and fine,”—(Mrs.) J.M-
Kruschen Salts is an excellent re
cipe for maintaining a condition of in
ternal cleanliness. The numerous
salts in Kruschen stimulate your in
ternal organs to smooth, regular ac
tion. Your inside is thus kept clear of
those impurities which, when allowed
to accumulate, lower the whole tone
of the system,

New Uniforms for Hanover Band
The hope of the Hanover bandsmen
that they would not have to appear

bandsmen, approval was given to pur
chasing a set of 32 uniforms which has
been made available to them. The

ald, Wednesday night at Goderich.
The two men were friends. Provincial

McDonald’s car had been found, aban
doned at Prescott, Ont. McLean is

A Relic of Watch-Making Art
Mr. R. L. Marshall, manager of the
Fordwich Creamery showed us a poc
ket watch which is, to say the least,
most unusual. The timepiece was be
queathed to him by his grandfather,,
the late Fred Snell, who died about
five years ago. The case is of heavy
silver and is so constructed that it can
be used as a “hunting” or “open face”
type. This conversion is made pos
sible by the working being set on a
swivel, thus permitting them to be
turned in the case. Some minor re
pairs were necessary to put the watch
in running order, which was recently
done, and the jeweler who did the
work informed Mr. Marshall that' it
was a most unusual antique, and as
such would doubtless bring a good
price from a collector.—Fordwich Re

funnel made out of a former car mar

By Harry J. Boyle
During the course of a month I re
ceive a great many letters here at
Lazy Meadows. In practically all of
them there is that one question ....
“Do you ever run out of things to
talk about in your weekly letters?”
Well, the’idea mill does at times run
sort of shy of things to write about,
but I generally manage Jo think’ of
something. * ' ■
Just for instance today. Mrs. Phil'
and I had been out shopping in the
village. When we came back I saw
her walk to the end of the verandah,
and resell up. to the nail on the end
post and take down the key. Now,
we’ve been hanging that key' up there,
for years. It would be no trick at all
for a burglar to open the door. All
he wo-uld have to do is take the, key
down from the post. We set on that
post for hanging the key up, so one
or the other wouldn’t tote the key off
and lose it.
I run a sliver in my finger before
supper and asked Mrs. Phil to take it
out for me. She walked directly ov
er to the curtain on the east window
of the kitchen and running her hand
up and ddwn the curtain picked out
the needle. It’s a habit of a good
many years to park all her needles irr

Triplet Calves t
Mr. Harry McCool informs us that
ho was greeted with a very pleasant
surprise recently. Upon entering the
barn he was surprised at first to see
twin calves awaiting him, Mr. Mc
Cool was very satisfied with this and
went on about his chores. Suddenly
he thought he heard a calf bawling,
and upon further investigation found
that a third member of the party had
been hidden in Another part of the
barn. When he finally rounded them
up there were triplet calves.-—Blyth

that curtain.
After supper I caught myself at
something that I do every time I take
the little rocker in the kitchen. Just
reach down and pick it up and move
it over about the width of two boards.
Then after sitting down, wiggle the
rocker back to the worn spot 'in the
floor where it. always sits, and from
where I picked it up. Why did I do
it? Search me, because it’s just anoth
er foolish liftle' habit for which there
don’t seem to be a reason.
In the little tin box on the window
sill reclines my pipe. Each night af
ter supper, when I am sitting in the
rocker 1’11 reach up and after filling
the pipe, light it with one of the fine
splinters of the cedar. Yet after the
pipe is going I’ll sit there with the
splinter and absent-mindedly watch it
burn down . , and then slowly go out
as the end curls up into a fiery writh
ing snake. It must be just a habit.
We’re all creatures of habit. Else
what makes me always go to the east
sitting room door and try it every
night. That door has been closed up
for five years and'yet each night I
plod in and absent-mindedly try the
knob to see if it’s locked.
What is it'that makes a man always
get a stub of pencil out and make fig
ures all over a clean board. He never
really knows what he is figuring up
and yet he’ll do it every time. Or if
he is one of the whittling variety he
will meticulously whittle \a piece of
cedar down to shavings without ever
having accomplished anything.
What is it that makes Mrs. Phil
write her name over and over on »a
clean piece of paper at night when she
is sitting at the tafile. Sometimes
she’ll write my name . . sometimes a
quotation of poetry. She doesn’t real
ly realize that she does it. Or the
times when she’s got the dinner ready
and it waiting for the potatoes to
cook. There she’ll sit with a dinner
.plate and a fork and scribble back and
forth across the plate, while her eye
brows are knit in .deep- concentration.
Th’en there’s - the collection under
the clock. Letter are shoved up there
after they have been read. • A favour
ite recipe or one that looks good . . .
or a new hint about how you can tak'e
stains out of a tablecloth, They all go
up under the clock. Sometimes it’s a
little poem out of a magazine., Many
times it’s a bill or a receipt for money
. . and; yet it’s all jammed up in the
motley collection Under the clock.
The poor clock is tilted at a precari
ous! angle, until at last in winding it
some night, it is caught in'the act-of
falling, All the collection is removed
from the clock, and ninety-nine per
cent found worthless.,, is destroyed.
But next day we start all over again
tp collect. And so it goes, just queer
quirks of human nature .... and as
long as there are humans on the earth
a man can always find something to
write about.
