The Exeter Advocate, 1924-9-11, Page 4FRUIT TREATMENT FOR CONSTIPATION Quick and Permanent Relief By Taking "Fruit -a -tines" What a glorious feeling it is to be wetly What a relief to be free of cathartics, salts, laxatives and purga- tives that merely aggravete consti- pation and are sa unpleasant to take and so weakening in their effect! What a satiefection to know that the junees 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.

BARN AND CONTENTS' BURNED. Oa Saturday afternoon the barn and contents on the farm, of Milne Rad- er, 15th concession of Hay, was de- stroyed .by fire, A •threshing maciOn.e had pulled in, but worked had ,not commenced, when: it was noticed that. the straw stack from, the previous threshing had caught fire and soon the whole' thing was a mass of flames, The workmen and neighbors by stren� stow efforts'succe:eded in saving the house which was threatened. The loss will be heavy, although partly cover- t ed by insurance. A few hens and five pigs and some fsrm .implements were busied, as well as barn end contents, The owner of the: threshing outfit; T Kluumnp of Dashwood, backed the en- giros into the 'barn? amid "pulled out the threshing machine •just in time to :.ace it from the flames. WITH THE CANADIAN PRESS PARTY . In London It is an expressive thing to -land into the heart of a great city like London by railway—to look out up- on the vast numbers ' of houses and buldings of 'various kinds—often from a . higher altitude than the houses, and see the never end- ing view of brick and stone sur- mounted by chimney pots innumer- able. Every house seems to have eight or a dozen chimneys. But when one sails up and down the Thames River through the infinitude of docks, quays and shipping, it is then that you get a sense of the vastness and multitude not easily to be forgotten, London with its suburbs has over eight millions of in;habitlants and embraces an area of nearly 700 sq. miles, and still it grows. Two out of every threeof its residents were born inside of the city limits, Lon- don like every other city, however grows through the passon that seems to be seizing mankind every- where to get into the larger cent- res, not only because they are the home of 'wealth and employment, but as the centre of excitement, and as the people fondly fancy, of en- joyment. It grows by immigra- tion from other countries as well. Great numbers of people from every country in the world live in London, and all kinds and conditons of peo- ple are to be met wth on the, streets and in the business places. London is the great distributing centre of the world, and this is shown by the fleet of the carrying trade of which countless funnels and masts rise along her wharves and docks. While in the city one day we were taken down the river some twenty-five miles to view the docks and go through many of the ware- houses, cold -storage and otherwise, and then we got a, little idea of how this vast number of people in one place is fed and clothed, and pro- vided with all the other necessities and luxuries that go to make up the life of the people. The Cold Store at the Royal Albert Dock, through which we were shown(and where one wore an overcoat to keep from freezing) contained millions of car- cases of animals and other things that are preserved for food .in this way to feed the vast multitude, A tobacco warehouse at the Royal Vic- toria Dock showed the great quant- ity of this luxury that is required to keep the people in smokes. Great. care is taken in buying this commod. ity. , The most careful experte are engaged in classifying the tobacco that is received from every produc- ing country in the world. Then there is the tea warehouses the feather, curio, carpet and rug storeplaces, the ivory,, the spices, wools, wines, rubber and skin stores of all kinds. Be it remembered that the ,Lon- don harbor, docks and warehouses are the greatest in the world.Not only must the eight million be 'fed and clothed, but much comes in as raw material, is manufactored and goes out to all parts of the world a- gain. The English Railways One of the first things that strikes the visitors from America England is the railway -service. The Canadian Weekly Newspaper Party found the service altogether excell- ent, perhaps, more particularly so because Cook's Tourist Agency look- ed after all transportation of our- selves and our baggage. In the ab- sence of any system of checking bag- gage it was well to leave some one take care of the vast amount of bag- gage we carried.In moving from one place to another throughout the trip all we had to do was place our trunks or suitcases outside the hotel bedroom door, and when we arrived at the next stopping place the bag- gage was found in our rooms. Cooks had looked after it—they had seen that it was taken down stairs, onto! a dray, to the station, placed on the van, and then on arrival at the next stop, taken to our hotels. Simil- arly all travel tickets were secured for us by Cooks, handed to each member of the party at the station, and we in turn handed them to the gate -keepers at the station. At the same time we were told what track our train was on. When one real- izes that many of the great stations had fifteen or twenty tracks, and the stations were of an immense size in every way, it is readily understood that this help to the party was of great assistance and was thoroughly appreciated: Had we been looking after our own baggage we should have found it a great care and in- convenience, and .undoubtedly would have longed for the checking system that prevails in Canada. C; The railway carriages; instead of being long and undivided, en as to seat fifty or sixty people, are divid- ed into compartments, each compart- ment seating six or eight, according to whether it is a first-class or other- wise. England, socially is still di- vided' into classes; and it is for the aristocracy, for privacy, that rail- way trans are thus divided. One. can purchase a whole compartment if he desires. Everything considered wefound the compartment system to our liking. The speed of the trains is fast, av eraging nearly a mile a minute, and. as the road beds are smooth ;' :and' level one does not notice 'that 'the train is travelling 'at this great speed. Then, great carve has been taken in the building, of the railway ° in the first place. There are very flew :grades or curves in the lines." 'Instead, they tunnel through the hills and tressel over, the valleys, and make a straight line onto the next stoppng place. 'Similarly there axe very few intersections with the highways. The railways are either over or under the railways, and this accounts for the very .few accidents that occur, • in the way of railways striking automobles or horse drawn vehicles. As compared with Amer- ican accidents of this nature their percentage is very small,. A thing that strongly impresses "one among the marvels of England is the vast- ness and complexity of the railway system. Stand on any junction platform and you will be astonished at the multiplicity of trains rushing in different directions.' Withal the puntually, regularity and freedom of duty by every man among thou- sands, not taken from the class in which the sense of honor is supposed to have its peculiar seat. A mom- ent of inattention on the part of a weary signalman or pointsman or an extra glass of grog taken on a bitter winter's night would be followed by wreck and massacre. The dining or restaurant cars as they are called have a place on the corridors trains (many trains now have corridors on one side permitting passengers to get from one car to another) and a splendid service is offered,_ meals being served in five and six courses at from two and a half shillings to three shillings, or, 60 to 75c. On our Canadian lines a similar meal would cost from $2.50 to $3.00. Dominion Day Lunch Having depressed for a while to give an account of many of the var- ious features of London, and of the country's railways, we will return to a more chronological account of the Press Party's doings while in the city. We left off by stating that the morning of Dominion Day was free for sight-seeing and we took full advantage of it to see what we could of the city that was not in our regular itinerary, and much of which we saw on that and other similar occasions, we have briefly described. Dominion Day, as was fitting to a Canadian Party such as we were was a red-letter day of entertain- ment to all of us; and was a sample of what we received throughout the whole of the trip overseas. At noon we were tendered a lunch of which the London Times says— "The third of the series of month- ly luncheons arranged by the Em- pire Press Union in order that journ- alists from overseas might have an opportunity of meeting and frater- nising with their conferes in this country, was held at the Criterion Restaurant, Piccadilly -circus, and as the occasion coincided with the visit to London of the delegation from the Can%dan Weekly Newspaper As- sociation, many members of that body were welcomed as guests. Viscount Burnham wasin the chair, and in welcoming the Canad- ian visitors of the union, said he re- joiced at the opportunity of bidding a hearty welcome on behalf ' of the Empire Press Union to the large and distinguished party of Canadian ed- itors. They would never forget the visit of the union to the great Dom- inion—they always spoke of Canada with truth and pride as the Great Dominion —in 1920, when they learnt the meaning, of Canadian hos- pitality and fathomed the depths of their own ignorance of ,what Canada had in promise and potency for the British Empire.. "You must give us always the benefit of the doubt," added Lord Burnham, "Be kind to our failings, and be blind to our faults." The old Titan might not be as his enemies hoped, but he was assuredly heavy -burdened. .If 'he was to play his old and time-honour- ed part in the world's affairs he must draw fresh strength from the inspiration of youth. They must be co -optimists as to the furture destiny of the. British world. It was -by such a visit as.theirs that the co -optimism of the Empire was made a living thing and not a foolish boast. (Hear hear.) After dinner one might be transported to the clouds, but after lunch bach into the Worry :and the hurry of our workaday' life,'and the worry and the hurry of the world was ten times what it was .before the Canadian Division stood should- er to shoulder with the armies of the Old Country to face a world in arms. From 3:30 to 5:30 p. m. the Can- adian Party, with many notables and other Canadians in London, was ten- dered a reception by Hon. P. C. Lar- kin, the Canadian High Commission er at the. Ritz Hotel, Piccadilly, W. and a brilliant affair it proved to be' Each of the guests shook hands with the Commissioner and his daughter and spent an enjoyable hour or two. Ae is usual at these receptions a buf- fet lunch was served that was the last word in "eats." The evening was spent in the gal- lery of ;the great banquet hall of the Hotel Cecil, where the .High Com naissioner presided over a brilliant Yearly funeton that is known as the Dominion Day Dinner, - the charge per plate, being two pounds sterling. The price ,being considered too great for a bunch of editors we were, one and all content to:witiess the af- fair from the gallery which had been reserved for us, Besides .

Many other notable Britisher and Canadians were present among them the better known were—Just- ice Duff, Sir Adam Beck, Sir Hamar Greenwood, Hon. John S. ' Martin, Ontario Minister of Agriculture. The Prince of Wales was the first speaker and it ,was here .that he first announced his intention to vis- it his ranch in Alberta this fall. Canada, he said, was a tonic to him, and he did not need to say how much he loved the Dominion. It was to Canada that he went to re- cuperate after the four years of war horror, and when tired of the stren- uous social duties of England he al- ways sought his ranch in Canada for a rest. He congratulated Canada on the splendid contribution towards the success of the British Empire Exhibition at Wembly. The high standard and the effective organiz- ation of the Canadian Pavilion have won the admiration of all vistors. Referring to the statute of himself and horse in butter in the Canadian building he said, "I am going out to the fair again to see how I have been faring during this hot spell. (Laughter.) I have the greatest possible faith in anything that is Canadian, including butter. (Lau- ghter.) I want to see if my hat has acquired a dangerous •angle, or whether myself or my horse is go- ing at the knees. (Laughter.) I thank you for the kind way you have your here received this toast, and also for kind invitation to me to be to -night. (Cheers.)
