When a farmer spends a great deal
of time and money getting his flock
ready for the market, it is not only
a great disappointment for him to lose
the birds but a big financial setback.
Steer Drowned in Mud Lake
A valuable steer belonging to C.
Foran, of West Wawanosh, got out of
control while being driven along the
road near the farm and ended its mad
dash in what is known as Mud Lake.
While ropes were being secured the
animal plunged around working its
way through the mud for about four
feet to reach water, when it evidently
became exhausted, for after swimming
for a few minutes, it sank in the lake.
A NEW PARTY
Mr. W. D. Herridge, brother-in-law
of Hon, R. B. Bennett, has started a
movement which he calls the’ “New
Democracy Movement.” Despite the
fact that we have read his pamphlet
describing the idea, we are still at a
loss to know what it is all about. Mr.
Herridge has associated himself with
Premier Aberhart and the Social Cre
dit Party of Alberta. This party were
elected on a social credit platform but
so far have done nothing to put their
theories into practice. To us it looks
as If Mr. Herridge is making a bid for
power or balance of power by trying
to fuse the Social ’Credit, C.C.F. and
other small parties. One must admit
Mr. Herridge is a very clever man,
tut we doubt very much if his so-call
ed New Democracy party will be of
help to Canada.

CONFERENCE
ON UNEMPLOYMENT
Before long there will be a confer
ence of Mayors to study the unem
ployment ^situation. The government
are co-operating with them so that
they may have all information at their
disposal. It is hoped .that this body
of men will find a solution or partial
solution to this canker that is gradu
ally dragging our country down. If
unemployment was just a Canadian
problem we believe that a solution
would have been fourid for it before
now. With every country in the world
in the same boat, we are not optomist-
ic as to the results this conference
will bring.

Photographers Held by Police
The activities of Mr. and Mrs. Geo.
Bentley, said to have been conducting
a picture enlargement business over a
wide area of Ontario for several
months, are being investigated by
crown officers. The pair were re
manded in custody for one week by
Magistrate J. A. Makins at Goderich.
The charges against the pair, as well
as a friend, are all vagrancy. The trio
was picked up following an alleged
brawl in a Seaforth hotel. Bentley
had his liberty for one hour when he
produced $500 cash bail, leaving his
wife in jail. He proceeded to Seaforth
where he had been arrested, to pick
up his belongings, only to be con

SOME DISEASE
, PREVENTIVES——
Active immunization against typh
oid fever is a thoroughly reliable pro
cedure. While typhoid is usually ac
quired through the use. of contaminat
ed water, milk and other foods, typh
oid vaccine will afford protection ag
ainst such dangers. It is given in
three doses at 7-day intervals. The
use of this vaccine is of particular
value for travellers in foreign count
ries or vacationists in summer resorts
where the water and milk supplies
may not be as well' protected as they
are in one’s home city.
Tetanus antitoxin is a preventive
measure of high value against the
poison causing lockjaw. The infection
in tetanus or lockjaw is commonly
gained from the dirt or dust of streets
and barnyards. It is common in horse
stable manure. The victim may have
the skin punctured by a splinter of
wood or a nail lying about the barn
yard. The small wound, often trivial
•in itself, harbours the germ of lock
jaw which thrives in the darkness of
a deep wound. Soldiers fighting1 ofi
the well-fertilized fields of France and
Belgium were in particular danger
from tetanus, so the universal rule of
the Army was that the subject of ev-'
I ery wound, no matter how slight,
should immediately have ,a dose of te
tanus antitoxin. This practice un
doubtedly' saved the lives of thous
ands of soldiers in the Great War.
Cholera, like typhoid fever, is $ dis
ease carried by water and foods. A
half century ago it was common in
parts of Canada.' Now happily, inter
national quarantine keeps it out .of the
country. For one in tropical count
ries, where cholera is common the use
of only hot food and drink is a wise
practice. In addition the use of a vac
cine or serum against the disease will
TESTED RECIPES
