The Exeter Advocate, 1924-8-14, Page 4FRLJIT TRATMENT FOR CONSTIPATION Quick and Permanent Relief By Taking "Fruit-a-tives" What a gior,vus iea-mg it is to bo well( What a relief to be free of cathartics, salts laxatives and purga- tives that merely aggravate consti- pation and are so unpleasant to take and so weakening in their effect! What a satisfaction to know that the juices of apples, oranges, figs and prunes will absolutely and perma- nently relieve constipation. By a certain process, the juices of these. fruits can be concentrated and combined with tonics --and it is these intensified fruit juices that correct constipation, relieve headaches and biliousness, and make you well and keep you well, "~ruit-a-tives" are sold every- where at 25e. and 50c. a box—or sent postpaid by Fruit-a-tives Limited, Ottawa, Ont. rhe Exeter Ata M 2•;75.•[[ Sander. & Creech, Prnprietor� THURSDAY, AUGUS•1 14th, 1024 Centralia Greenway The family of Mr. Thos.

The walls are covered with paintings by the old masters, such as Rubens and Van Dyke, and also mod- ern artists. These windows and paintings were all explained to us in more. or less detail, until, in fact, one's head reeled from the effort of trying to absorb and retain the information. At noon we were entertained to lunch by the city officialsin the Grand Hotel, and this was our first experiences of the entertainment in the way of lunches and dinners with which we were to be surfeited dur- ing the five weeks of our trip in Europe. Lunches and dinners were always followed by an hour or more of music and speechmaking by the officials and membersof our party. and while varied according to the place and conditions, became in part like the expressions of the members of a mutual admiration society.

He received us in the grand hall of his palace, shook hands with each member of the party, ex- pressed his appreciation of what the Canadian soldiers had done during the war, and afterwards walked for half an hour in his beautiful garden, with us. He is an extremely kind- ly old man, talked freely with us, and allowed the party to take any number of photographs of him. While in the garden we were treat- ed to a chime concert by J Denijn on the bells in the tower of the ca- thedral. People who are supposed to know claim that there are no sweeter sounding bells in- Europe. The tower on this cathedral still tried to destroy it on the plea that the Cardinal was using it as a watch and wireless tower. AT BRUSSELS After a lunch in the Town Hall we left at 6.23 by train for Brussels arriving a half hour later. The evening being free we wandered around the city, and were struck with the fact that all business places that were closed, had windows and doors barricaded and barred tightly Another feature of interest was the fact that here and there we were forced to walk in the middle of the road owing to the fact that the side- walks and half the road, were cov- ered with chairs in which thousands of people sats with mugs of beer,. gaily enjoying their evening bever- age. Passing one of these places we heard the hail of "Canada and a young fellow who proved to have resided some years ago in Listowel, asked us to join him at the table. • Our first duty next day, June 22, was to deposit a wreath at the tomb of the unknown soldier, after which we were received by the Committee of the Industrial Bureau, and later by Mr. Hymens, the Minister of For- eign Affairs', where splendid ad- dresses were given in both French and English languages, At 10.30 we inspected the House of Parlia- ment and the Senate chamber where Edith Cavell was condemned to death, by the Germans 'who occupied the city. We heard again the hist- ory of that lamentable affair. From the parliament buildings the party went to the Hotel de Ville (Town Hall) where we were receivea by the Burgomaster; inspected his palace, rich in paintings and price- less tapestries and beautifully fur-, nished throughout. From the bal- cony of his. palace we were invited to witness a Roman Catholic cele- bration, which formed on the square below. The procession re- viewed in pageant the lffe - of the Saviour from the cradle to the grave and finally of his being crowned king of heaven. Several hundred, including numerous dignitaries of the R. C. church tookpart in the erocession. The costumes were'ela- torate and the music was splendid. The procession is held once in two tears. At two o'clock the same afternoon he • . party left by motor cars for 'urvueren, passing through part of he famous Soines Forrest, that, ex ands for miles through the' country o the great • Colonial Museum largely of products of African. Con o).

Of tall and kingly appear- ance his reception was very 'pleas- ing and gracious to our party. AT LEIGE Early in morning of June 23rd,. the party left by special train for. Liege, where it will be remembered the Belgians made such a gallant stand against the Germans and held them for three weeks during the first days of war, giving the English and French a chance to get their armies on the field of battle, Arriving at Liege about 10:15 we first visited the immense iron works of the Cockerill company at Ougree. These shops were early captured by the enemy and used for the manu- facture of munitions of war, but the English airmen almost completely destroyed the whole factory in 1917. The company is a very strong one,^ however, and it has now been fully restored. We watched with inter- est the process of making car wheels and all kinds of heavy framework for ships, bridges, etc. from the pig iron to the complete articles. Returning to Liege by motor cars we were received by the city offi- cials at the Town Hall and enter- tained to lunch at the Hotel de Suede At 3 p.m. we motored to the last to hold out of the seven forts that sur- rounded Liege—the Fort of Loncin —and which only fell to the Ger- mans after it had been surrounded and attacked from the rear. An unfortunate shell blew up the ar- senal, and the gas killed many of the defenders. We were shown through the ruins by Col. Naessens, who had the honor of defending the fort in August of 1914. He told us of those trying days and the action of the various shells which were thrown into the fort by the Germans After lunch at the Citadelle we returned to Brussels and next day took the train for Lille, and for two days visited the battlefields and cemeteries for many miles around that city. Among the places visit- ed were St. Eloi, Hill 62, Ypres, Roubaix, Tourcoing, Popernighe, ReningheIst, Dickbuch, Mont Kem- mel, Locre, Bailleul et Armentieres, Sanctuary Wood, Vimy Ridge, Stein- berg, Loos, La Bassee, Vichy. And the cemeteries included, Zillebeke, Birr Cross Road, Maple. Avenue (Canadian) Sanctuary Wood, Menin Road, La Latterie, La Chaudiere at Vichy. Although time was short we were at • the last named cemetery able to find the graves of Private E. E. Gardiner, killed in action, June 1917, PteE. L. Gardiner, killed, in action November 1917, and 3'. C. Strang, killed in July. These boys were from Usborne Township. This cemetery is only four miles from Vimy and contains about 1500 gra- ves. Great care is being taken by the various governments to mark the. graves of the boys and monuments. are erected at ,each cemetery. .Of these we hope to write more fully later. Apart from the cemeteries., there are many evidences that a great fight had taken place here. Whole groves of trees show nothing but blackened stumps eight or ten or twenty feet high; trenches and shell holes, wire entanglements and dug- outs, pill boxes, etc, are visible all over the country side. Of all the cities perhaps Ypres still shows the greatest effects of the great des-. truction wrought; the wonderful Cloth Hall is still a mass 'of ruins. In six years, however, a treat deal of the country has ..been irought back to normal both in the 'arming lands and the urban dis- ricts. Dashwood Mfrs, Wm.
