WHY AND WHEREFORE?
Why tYd Huron county Iasi week
elect two "dry" eandidat. a with rt•eord
majoritlee. while other counties that
bad voted strongly for the 1).T.A. ou
the plebiscites elected Government con-
trol candidates or gave scout majors -
ilea fur O.T.A. men" This is a question
that Is being asked by many.
Was it because Huron bad a more,'
efficient temperature organisation than
other counties? For year' before the
O.T.A. went tufo effect there was a
strong organization that bad been
built up its this eounty in suceeswtve
campaigrw fur aut1-llquor legislation,
local option bylaws and the Canada
Temperate* Act. Then. too. the fact
that the O.T.A. was more firmly and
thoroughly enforced in this county
must have had w,mettttng to deo with
the result. Respect for the law was

"I suffered from stomach and
liver trouble. and used to have
bilious attacks so bad that I could
do nothing for weeks at a time.
My stomach would be so weak
that not even a drink of water
would stay on it. On my siater'a
advice. I began to use Dr.
Chase's Kidney -Liver Pills, and
must say that they have made me
feel like a new woman."

"HABIT, kept me from a Real Shave."
THAT'S what many men confess, • once they've learned the
advantages of the stropping feature of the Valet AutoStrop
Razor.
a'I formerly used an ordinary safety razor," many say "but
only the first few shaves with a new blade were good. After
that it was a choice between a poor shave or a new blade.
Now I give my Valet AutoStrop Razor blade a few strokes on
the4trcp without removing it from the holder, and thus enjoy
many perfect shaves from the same blade."
Changing Habits
If you're in a habit rut, why not break loose and
find out how superior shaving is so easily attain-
able? If you'll just switch to a Valet AutoStrop
Razor you will never return to old ways, for it
is the only razor that automatically sharpens its
own blades without removing them.
