WHY HIS HEADACHES WERE RELIEVED Wife Put Kruschen in Hit Coffee He could not understand why the headaches he had been subject to> were suddenly relieved, His wife told, him, and he at once sat down and wrote the following letter:-— ”1 am 62 years of age, and ever since I was a boy of ten years, I was subject to very bad headaches. But two years ago the headaches eased up—-for what reason I did not know.. I/was surprised when one day my wife told me I had been using Kruschen Salts in my coffee for over two years, I am Still using them, as I know of nothing finer.”-—J. T, Headaches can often be traced to a disordered stomach, and to the unsuspected retention in the system, of stagnating waste material which poisons the blood. Remove these poisons —-- prevent them forming again-—and you remove the cause of many aches and pains, And that is just how Kruschen Salts brings pleasant relief. Kruschen helps Nature to cleanse your body com pletely of all clogging waste matter. STORE VEGETABLES ON FLOOR OF SAND Heavy metal or stone containers help keep roots fresh, states George Rush, Ontario Vegetable Specialist. Vegetables for winter use are best stored on a sand floor at a tempera- true about three degrees above freez ing, advises George Rush, Vegetable specialist of the Ont. Dept, of Agri culture, Toronto. However, this is difficult where fur naces are used as the temperature is much higher and the air dry, If a por tion of the basement could be shut off, roots could then be kept in good con dition. Heavy metal or stone containers are excellent for keeping roots fresh, stat es Mr. Rush, and these containers have given excellent results where used. Roots may be placed in a heap in; the garden and covered with two in ches of earth. They may be kept this way until the temperature reaches 20 degrees of frost before being removed, to the cellar for winter use. Mr. Rush says the home garden- should be cleaned up immediately and all rubbish and diseased plants des troyed by burning, as only fire really destroys these diseases. Digging re fuse in will bring trouble next season as disease will carry over in the soil, he warns. ————'——— / ??{t; FAMOUS STOCK SHOW RENEWS IN CHICAGO Final event on the continent’s an nual livestock show and agricultural Fair calendar is the International Live Stock Exposition and Horse Shew, which will celebrate its 41st anniver sary this Fall from November 30 to December 7.

Gash Required 28 Stitches Robert Donaldson, of Paisley, was brought to the Bruce County Hospital at Walkerton suffering -with a gash on the head when he was thrown through the windshield of a car, that required twenty-eight stitches to close the. wound.
