There was a good collection of useful articles on the work tables and the home-made baking sold readily. The afternoon teatables were decorated with yellow march -marigolds and were lib r- ally patronized. The quilt made by Mrs. Daniels realized the sum of C38, of which $25 was donated to the Women's Institute. Mr. W. G. MacEwan held the lucky ticket.

He will spend two weeks or so in this district, dividing the time among Goderich, Seaforth and Mitchell, and Mrs. Davis and daughter have gone on to Philadelphia to make a visit. Mr. Davis reports crop prospects in Al- berta exceptionally good. A consbderably larger aarag than usual has been put in and the seeding was finished three or four weeks earlier than last year. Whether it is the added dignity which attends a chosen representative of the people in Parliament, or the Western climate. we do not know. but Mr. Davis has added over twenty pounds to his weight record since he left Godericts and carries it well. His many old friends about town are giving him a cordial greeting. Presbytery of Huron. The Presbytery of Huron held its May meeting at Helsall on Tuesday. May 1 Ith.

The chief toast of poor health is our neglect of the bowels. Waster matter, instead of fussing from the lower intestine regularly every day, is allowed to remain there, generating poisons which are absorbed by the I flood. In other words, a person who Is habitually constipated, is poisoning himself. We know now that Aulo- iwloxitalior, due to non -action of the bowels, is directly rrspoiisib/t for serious Kidney and Bladder Troubles; that it upsets the Stomach, causes Indigestion, Loss of Appetite and Sleeplessness; that chrouic Rheum- atism, Gout, Pain In The Back, are relieved as soon as the bowels become regular; and that Pimples, Rashes, Eczema and other Skin Affections disappear when ''}'ruit-a-tives" are taken to correct Constipation.

(Continuod from page 11 ing of this law is not only putting all merchants on equal basis. but it is a patri- otic move as well." Mr. W. C. Pridham was the first spokes- man for the petitioners. He said the merchants desired uniformity in closing hours. Times had changed since the days when long hours were the common thing. The case of the barbers was an illustration. People used to come in at midnight on Saturdays to be served by the barbers until the Lord's Day Alliance in- terfered. Then a bylaw was passed enforc- ing earlier hours of closing. and the bar- bers would not go back to the old condi- tions. The speaker thought all merchants should be put ria a par. so that one could not get the trade while the others were closed. it was not necessary to keep open late for the accommodation of farmers. As for the argument of "en- roachment on personal liberty," war times were giving many lesson in this matter and it was now recognized that the idea of personal liberty had a limited application. - Mr. E. Dean said that in former seas- ons it had been the practice for the stores to have a weekly half -holiday. but this year they would do without this, as the country people complained about finding the stores closed when they came to town. Doing away with the weekly half -holiday would offset the shorter hours proposed under the bylaw. Mr. Walter Hern spoke of the daylight- saving move and said if the merchants were going to keep open late -there would not be much saving of daylight and they could not do much gardening. Mr. John Cutt said he had signed the petition. but on consideration he believed he had mark a mistake. Many farmers came inter town after 8.30 (which was 5.30 o'clock by the old timet, and if the stores were closed they could not do busi- ness and their trade would be diverted to other places. The workingmen. tot would not be able to make purchases af- ter their own working hours. fMr. M. Robins said he was in a dif- event position (rower some of the others. He lived at his store and if a man came to him for Ywnething and he refused to sell it he would offend the man and kir his siotom Those merchants who could afford to live in • residence away from the store were not put in this position. Mr. Pridham had built up his businees in the old days when they had late hours and he (the Maker) wanted the silo op- portunity as a beginner. The storekeepers were not like the barbers. who hal to work hard all flay on their Wt. This was mortised to be a free country and he did not see why he should be forced to close early If he did nett want to do so.

Supposing a boat should come in aper Uuuiang hours. would the merchants refuse to sell it sup- plies? The town did not enjoy too large a fanning trade as 1t was and should not do anything to Injure that trade. His Worship said he was neutral in the matter, and brought out these points simply far discussion. Mr. Dean said, regarding the bat trade, ne had tilled orders on Sunday and nothing had happened: so he supposed there would be no dttticulty in supplying boats under the bylaw. On motion it was derided that the petition should be referred to the special committee. His Worship suggested that the solicitor should be consulted as to the legal end of the matter. Mr. J. W. Salkeld, of the Bayfield road, was present and said he was being held back from use of the land from which tqe town had purchased the wood last winter; he claimed the wood was all on and the contract on his part was coin- pleted. Councillor Wallis gave his version of the matter and the clerk read the corres- pondence which had passed. and it ap- peared that the only question was whether the brush on the lot ((tome of which has not yet been removed) could properly be described as wood. The town was to have until March lst, 1919, to remove the wood. The public works committee was asked to report in the matter. The chairman of the parks committee was authorized to purchase a new lawn mower for use in the parks. Councillor Wallis said it was necessary to made some preparations for putting on the tarvia and the public works commit- tee was given power to procure a machine for the purpose. The question of completing the sewer extensions planned last year was dis- cussed. and it appeared that the lack of funds was the only obstacle to gang on with the work. The plans cover 1 new sewer from Cameron street to Nelson street along Victoria street, a portion of the work being already done. Deputy Reeve Clark asked when the sedimentatien basin was last c'eaned. The water. he said, was getting "thicker" instead of clearing as it shoukl after the sprang break-up. The Deputy Reeve also introduced the question of putting oil on some of the side streets, and said the property -owners were prepared to pay for it. The Mayor said the residents of St. George'. Crescent wanted tarvia put on their street at their expense. The matter was referred to the public works committee. The Mayor suggested that a day be fused for decorating the plots in the few • tery and the second Sunday in June was set aside for this purpose. It is proposed that the townspeople contribute cut flowers for this oc asion. Suggestions were made for additional electric lights. one near the summer hotel and two at Harbor Park. and were passed on to the water and light commission. The fuel question was again up for con- sideration. The Algonquin Park proposi- tion strikes lite council as rather expyn- r;ve. and it was decided to I±ic prion wood from lots nearer Godenc - Bylaw No. 9 was read three times and passed. This bylaw is in accordance with an act of the Legislature at the last session and makes it lawful for the corporation to take possession of any vacant land within the limits of the mun- icipality fur tie purposes of cultivation during the period of the war, or the council may issue a permit to any person to use such vacant land for the purpose of cultivation. The owner of the land first will have an opportunity of presenting any objection he may have to such use of the land. No compensation is to be paid to the owner for the use of the land under this bylaw. The council then adjourned.
