which were used on wayward cat-
tle beasts around confederation.
Mr. Jacobs tools are genuine
antiques and he sews leather on,
a Landis sewing machine about
a hundred years old. "It's a
good machine," he says, there
isn't a day that goes by that we
don't use it." Another little gad-
get he often uses, is for making
leather round, also about 100
years old. He makes his own
thread for sewing the leather
by twisting strands of linen to-
gether and coating it with bees-
wax.
"You can make the thread any
size or strength you need," he
explained. Materials and hard-
ware needed for harness making
are obtained from Griffith Co.,
Stratford. Some chains come
from Scotland.
Formerly employed by Ontario
Hydro, Mr. Jacobs suffered an
arm injury which made him de-
cide "to do something I always
wanted," Be bought a harness
shop in Brussels, moved his

Controlling a team of horses
won't bother the Jacobs says
Malcolm "we learned how as
boys on our father's farm in
Milverton". The horses drawing
the chuckwagon are Queen, a
bay Clydesdale belonging to Jack
Bishop, #1 Ethel and Nellie? a
big black Percheon on loan from
Nelson Sleightholm, #3 Brussels.
They were shoed by Malcolm
Anderson of Belgrave, The "twin
britchin" harness for the horses
belongs to Mr. Bishop. Malcolm
Jacobs also extends his thanks
to Scotty Wilson, BruSsels and
Ray Black, Brussels, who assis-
ted in building the chuckwagon.
Malcolm Jacobs and his wife
Joan operate Jacobs Saddlery
and Shoe Repair, Main St., Brus-
sels. "There are so few harness
shops today," says Mr. Jacobs,
"that I don't even have to ad-
vertise; Customers come from as
far away as Toronto and Michi-
gan."
Before the advent of the horse-
less carriage 'a harness shop
was as prevalent as a service
station today, and just as busy.
The. Historical Atlas of Huron
County, published in 1879, lists
six blacksmith and 10 carriage
shops, a tannery and two liver-
ies in the village of Brussels. The
shop now occupied by the Jacob's
was first operated by Mrs. Roy
Kennedy's father, Nathan Chap-
man, who opened shop in Nov-
ember 1918 and moved some
years later to the location next
door to the Brussels Post. He
ran the business until he sold
out to a Mr. Stevens in 1946
who in turn sold out to J. C.
Pegelow in 1948. Mr. Pegelow
had it for 24 years before selling
to the present owner, Malcolm
Jacobs.
Malcolm learned leatherWork
from his father, the late Roy
Jacobs of Milverton. A slcillful
artist with his hands, Roy was
judged the world's best wood
carver by an unanimous judges
decision at a Vancouver com-
petition in 1949, A wooden angel
which he carved stands in the
Lutheran Church in Milverton.
One winter, laid up with a broken
foot, he carved Tom Thumb's
circus., There were elephants,
tigers, zebras, monkeys and over
100 little horses to pull the
caravans., The miniature circus,
intact for the most part is still
in the Jacobs family. Malcolm's
father was good at tooling leather
and making all types of harness.
tooled and some inlaid with sil-
ver.
• Malcolm has just finished mak-
ing a saddle from scratch for
Doug Ward of Monkton. He also
makes wagon horse hitches of
harness and parade horse hit-
ches. Small with an ancient
counter, the walls covered in
harness parts, the shop is like
something out of the old days.
One of the conversation pieces
When you breathe normally,
air goes through your windpipe
at a speed of 10 miles an hour.
When you cough, you whip up
hurricane wind speeds.
The blast of'air is created in
milliseconds in your windpipe by
a rapid increase in pressure built
up by powerful chest muscles. As
the cough starts, your windpipe
constricts to one-seventh its
usual size. The amount of air
in the windpipe increases seven
times. Then out comes the cough.
At a speed of almost 500 miles
an hour.
The, cough is a sign of distress
-- and an attempt to relieve the
distress. Coughing is one way the
respiratory system tries to get
rid orexces s mucus and irritants.
But some coughs can be useless
because they do not clear our
mucus and irritants.. They only
add to irritation.
The time of day you cough
can be a clue to what's causing .
it. A smoker's cough--which can
develop into chronic bronchities
-- usually occurs most often in
the morning to clear out excess
secretion s that accumulate during
the night. Coughs caused by TB
may also be most troublesome in
the morning. Coughs caused by
sinus conditions, however, often
happen most , at night when a
person is lying down.
Whenever it happens, a per-
sistent cough requires medical
attention and should not be sup-
pressed with the aid of home
remedies.
Your cough is trying to tell
you something. Start listening.

ptoms of lung disease, contact
your local lung association. It's
a matter of life and breath. Yours.
