The Exeter Times, 1920-10-21, Page 3DIARRHOEA TURNED TO DYSENTERY Lost 29 Pounds. Dysentery is one of the worst forms of bowel complaint. The pains in the bowels are intense, the discharges occur with great rapidity, and are very often eecompanied lay blood. It does not need to persist for any length of time until the whole system is weakened and debilitated, and hardly any other dis- ease so quickly undermines the strength and brings about a condition of pro- stration and utter collapse that often terminates fatally. To wheek the unnatural discharge, without bringing on constipation, there is only one remedy to use and this is Dr, Fowler's Extract of Wild Strawberry. Mr. G. W. MoVagh, Mawer, Saslc, writes; -"bout eight years ago I had a severe attack of diarrhoea which turned to dysentery before I got better. I might say I was sick for three weeks, I weighed 154 lbs when. I •took sick and weighed 125 lbs. when X got it stopped. I think Ihadtried every medi- eine that was on the market and did not find relief until I tried. Dr, Fowler'fj. Extract of Wild Strawberry, and one bottle relieved me. I think there is nothing like it for diarrhoea or dysentery. I alwayskeep some on hand as a person does not know when he will need it." "Dr. Fowler's" has been on the market for the past 75 years, Don't experte, meat with some no -name -no -reputation compounds. They may be dangerous to your health. Price 50c, a bottle.

'that there are 11,000,000 war or- phans in Europe and that a large pro- portion of these have lost both parents was stated recently by Dr. Living- ston Farrand, Chairman of the Cen- tral Committee of the American lied Cross. Some of these children are homeless wanderers begging their food wherever they may happen to he. About five thousand of them were found wandering in the Ruthenian Mountains, living an existence like animals. No stronger appeal could be made to humanity than that of suffering children, and on their behalf particu- larly the Canadian Red- Cross will ap- peal throughout Armistice Week. Each Provincial Division of the Red Cross wil have charge of the arrange- ments in its own province and all Red Cross workers should put themselves q touch immediately with their lo- eaf .ranch or with the headquarters efithe Provincial Division. House is Demolished by p Bomb Explosion despatch from Dublin says: - evert men were killed, five wounded, and two are missing as a result of an explosion in a house at Tintern, Wex- ford County, according to the official report. The statement adds that it is be- ,aiieved they were experimenting with bombs. The house, which was re- garded as unoccupied, was completely demolished. The five wounded are in custody.

A. despatch from London gays: -The high cost of living in England is, at an end. The "war boom is over," ac- cording to the London newspapers who announce the fact With promin- ently displayed streaeners across their front pages. They indicate that the, English are optimistic of giving the knockoutblow very soon to the remaining high prices. During the past :si* months the av- erage fall in prices on ra-w materials has been thirty per cent. Rubber pro- ducts have come down fifty per cent., tin has tumbled twenty-five per cent, copper six per cent., merino wool forty-five per cent,; and American cot- ton thirty per cent. The only sensational decline among food staples, however, was the -thirty per cent; drop iuUh•e .price of sugar. Declaring that the output has now outstripped the purchasing power, the London Times says that. the "high tide of artifieiat preepertyhas at last be- gun to ebb in the United States,". "The decline in England has been more rapid," the Tames points out; This was caused by the reduction in quotations by the sellers of goods in this country." That there . may be an industrial effect from the !slump in prices is feared, as but -a portion of woollen workers; cotton operatives and work- ers in automobile, leather, hosiery and liege trades, are now without employ- ment. The bankers are paying serious at- tention to the statement from the fin- ancial conference at Brussels that eleven out of twelve European states will have budget dificits this year. They declare this necessitates further monetary inflation, preventing the fell in the cost of living on the continent. Exchange rates have resulted in an- other curtailment of exports from United States and from England. The Average Man. The average than is not a bad fel- low when you come to know him, You have to make his 'acquaintance if you are not to: hold yourself aloof from this human,, interdependent world. He constitutes a majority. It is by his vote that candidates are set up and issues determined and business gov- erned and charities supported and plays. patronized. There is a great deal of money in pleasing the, average man. Moreover, the level of his tastes is rising, though pessimists refuse to see it or to say so. He is capable of education and he has travelled . far since his training began. • He needn't always be given all that he asks for; sometimes he makes mis- takes, and sometimes he wants what isn't good for him. • Sometimes he loses his head, and in an incendiary or inebriate temper does that which a cooler judgment in a calmer hour leads him to be sorreefor. But on the whole he is strangely reasonable and patient and self-controlled. It is touching to find how often he is doing the hest he can, according to the light he has. He serves- the world far bet- ter than some eccentric and uncon- ventional mortals who sneer at him for following a dull, unemotional rou- tine. • - Leaders of men have -learned to deal with the average man, to talk his lan- guage and to understand his ways. They have taught the rank and file to discover a latent capacity and to re- veal eveal a strength hidden and unsuspect- ed. They have had faith. in "the gen- eral good sense and honest intentions of mankind" They have genuinely loved their fellows, and their sym- pathy has been real and manifest. Neither in. war nor in peace is a vic- tory to be won unless the captains put their confidence in a host. When we display our fears for the - future of the world and prophesy the collapse of civilization in black ruin we have lost faith in what "'all of the people all of the time" can and will do. There is confusion and there is lawlessness, and we forget that the whole world emerged 'from "chaos and old night." We forget the bloody in- surrections of earlier ages that dis- figured the earth, and we act as though upheaval were a new thing and as though reason and justice would never again be- domiciled among the children of" men. But the people in time, -if we trust then, will bring back the reign of law, the beauty o. f tran- quility. The averageratan may have performed disappointingly for a time, but he will return to his senses and renew his allegiances, and be true to his obligation of membership in hu- man society. Russia and Finland ;Make Peace A despatch from Helsingfors, Fin- land, says :-The Russo -Finish Pace treaty has been signed at Dorap•at, Es- t thonaia. Peace negotiations between Finland and Russia were entered' into last Spring on the initiative of the Moscow Government. The pour parleys, how- ever, were subject to many interrup- Vone. ' PARIS GANG CARRIED OFF BAGS OF MONEY Army Post Office Robbed of Millions of Marks. A despatch , from Paris says: -The theft of several million marks, valued at 3,800,000 francs, from the treasur- er'e office of the army post -office in. Paris in .September, 1919, which the army had not missed, Jhas been reveal- ed by the arrest of four alleged mem- bers of -a gang that quietly carried off the bags of money which had been left in a cornier of the cellar. Albert Grandin, formerly en orderly in the 'office, s -aid, according to the police, that he found a few bags of money in the cellar and waited until there were several million marks, "enough to make it worth while." He and his brother Gaston and two wo- men are now in the hands of the police and others of the gang are being sought. The band suffered severely by rea- son of the exchange of marks, the police say, realizing only 1,500,000 francs. The money melted rapidly, and Albert Grandin, who opened a cabaret in a suburban town, informed the police that he had been reduced to highe ay robbery. Paid Five Hundred Millions of Anglo-French Loan A despatch from New York says: - It was announced- at the banking house of J. P. Morgan and Company that the firm was ready, to pay the $500,000,000 Anglo-French loan now natured. It was said that more than $200,- 000,000 was paid in cash. A plan for borrowing books from public libraries with the privilege of returning them to libraries in other cities is now being investigated as to its possibilities by an association of American commercial travelers.

"Times," New York, UNITE RUSSIA IN POWERFUL REPUBLIC KerensI y Rule Will be Re- stored With Gen. Wrangel as President. A despatch from Washiinagton says: -A nein and powerful federation by which° White Ruthenia, the entire Ukraine, all the Cossack territory :be- tween. the sea of Azov and the Volga, end all the territory now held by Gen- eral Wrangel will be organized into the United States of Russia, will shortly be •announced, it was learned officially. The territory thus embraced includes approximately three -sevenths of all the population of European Russia. The first president of the new re- public, it is expected here, will be General Wrangel, who proposes, im- mediately the military forces of the various states are combined, to make a general attaek upon the soviets!.. For this purpose he will have ap- proximately 350,000 troops, the most formidable army ever assembled to combat Lenine and Trotsky. General, Wrangel will also have the active co-operation of General Sem- inoff, now in command of a. large force in Siberia. The political result of the proposed new federation, it was explained in official circles here, will be the prac- tieal restoration of the Kerensky Gov- ernment under a more popular name, LEAGUE HAS PROVED SUCCESSFUL U.S. Ambassador to England Says it Has Justified Founders' Hopes. A despatch teem New York :says: John W : Da -Arta -fed States Ambas- sador to England, declared in a recent speech at Cooper Union that the League of Nations. up to the present time has been entirely successful. "It was never designed to take over and solve by mere finagle the multi- plied troubles which the great war has brought upon mankind:," Mr. Davis said. "It has worked no mir- acles, but for an oraagnization so new- ly !born it has fully justified the high- est hopes of its founders." VERY MERCHANT UNDER LICENSE . IS NEW SCHEME FOR .COLLECTING TAXES Luxury Taxes to be Collected chants Evading Law M and Have to by Means of Stamps -Mer - ay be Refused Licenses Quit Business: A despatch from Ottawa says:- Uuder the revised system of collect- ing the luau x-ry taxes in Canada, which come into effect on Nov. 1st, every merchant will • -be under license: The plans for -inaugurating the new sys- tend are well advanced and the special stamps will be available for all mer- chants by the last daea. of this month. The method to be followed, it is explained, will give the Inland Rev- enue Department a complete check on all transactions and the collection aby means of stamps will make the opera- tion of the Act much more simple. Every merchant is to .be ,supplied with a special machine for canceling the stamps ;by, perforation, and mer- chants will be .ehaarged a , nominal license fee of $2. They will not, how- ever, be required to pay anything for the perforating machine. Supplies of the stamps will be available at all banks, and also at the various local Customs Offices, so that it will not be necessary for merchants to stock up for long periods to advance. While the statement' has not been made officially that such action is contemplated, it is pointed out that in the case of merchants who persist in ignoring or evading the law regard- ing the collection of the luxury tax on goods sold by them, it will be within the power of the Department under the new regulations to refuse to renew ,the licenses of such mer- chants, and they would thus be unable to continue in business.

But Attempt Foiled A despatch from Belfast, Ireland, say's: -Henry Forbes, as railway traf- fic superintendent, recently foiled an attempt to rob a mail train at Drum - bar, a lonely halt on the Donegal Ballyshannon section of the line. Nine armed men :sprang from concealment and held up the train crew: Some of them proceeded to ransack the mails, but Forbes left his compartment on the offside of the train and creeping along the footbeard, revolver in hand, surprised the men who were holding up the driver and fireman. Forbes opened fire and the men bolted for the station waiting room,. from where they returned his shots. The other raiders made off across the cornfields pursued by Forbes, who cap- tured one man and eventually handed him over to the police. Found Flag Intact in Ice. A. despatch from Copenhagen says:- The United States flag which Commodore Peary planted at the North Pole has been found 400 miles away from its original geographical point. After an expedition of sixteen months in the Arctic regions, full of privation and hardship, Captain God- ford Hanson, leader of the Amunsden auxiliary, has returned here. He stat- ed that while laying food depots along the Amunsden trail he found,- 400 miles from the North Pole, the Peary flag intact in the ice. Dublin Strike Comes to Abrupt End A despatch from Dublin says: -The port strike here has taken on a sen- sational turn. The Lord Mayor called upon the striking men to return to work for the sake of their country. He made no reference to the matters in dispute. Seamen and firemen had been on strike for increased wages since early in October. The dismissal of thousands of dock workers followed, since which time the port has been almost completely closed. The men immediately replied that for the sake of patriotism they would resume work within an hour. Question of Reparations to be Discussed A despatch from Brussels says: - France and England will participate in a conference to be held in Brussels soon relative to reparations, according to the London correspondent of the Libre Belgique. He says propositions by German experts will be received at the conference by an inter -allied com- mission, which will then report to the different allied Governments. The cor- respondent adds that Premier Dela- eroix is reported to have succeeded sin bringing the British Government to accept the viewpoint of France rela- tive to an abandonment of the finan- cial conference which had been plan- ned to be held at Geneva.

Exercise. • The two words "exorcise" and "oxer- cise" are much alike in sound and spelling, and both point to prooesses that are useful to us, if we are to lead normal, sane, sunny, useful lives. 'Exorcise" is used in the driving out of a devil and some sort of -devil requires expulsion from most of us. We are not saints or angels; wearo not as gods; we are filled with inlper•. factions. In the garden of character weeds grow up over night, and faces. sant diligence is neederl•to keep thew from choking the flowers of grace and goodness by their noxious abundance everywhere. The first word passes by on easy transition to the second. What better way is there , to exorcise than to ex- ercise? We do not get rid of the bane- ful presence of an evil spirit by sit- ting itting in lugubrious meditation upon our grievous sinfulness. The bet way to drive out the works and the ways of darkness is to let in sun and air; and to take our melancholy out of doors for a brisk walk is to wear it down till it is discouraged and fails away from us. The mind needs exert:be as well as the • body. If we do not put in play the muscles of legs and arias we grow flabby and lazy, and the thews and sinews are, not ready to sot at once' when we call upon them, If we do not develop the power of our minds by demanding of them the best ser- vice they can give as, they aro not our useful agents when we face the vex- ing problems that beset a lifetime. But one who lives life to the full, not' asking odds, not seeking shelter, finds in this vigorous employment of all the being no hardship, but a pleas- ure- He is fellowixig the positive eeiu'se of overcoming evil with good. He' is leaving no space in his careful hus- bandry of his chosen field for the enemy to sow tare; of misery and mischief. Knowiug that naiuic ab- hors a vacuum, he fills the void rinx good. The lite -time is so crowded with fine things to do that there are no hours remaining for activities of the deleterious kind. Inall this vigor- ous existence of deeds that help others and count toward the sum total of hu- man happiness, there is no i,ose, no martyrdom, no odious desire or glory. A. life like that of Grenfell. overflow- ing with generosity and aciivitt, is as far as possible from a life inviting pity, Such a pian as this has "the best kind of time"; he finds the world good to look upon as well as to life in; life is joyful because of the chances it gives him to do good. Pity is wasted on those who find their joy in a ceaseless round of beneficent activity, To Fly from Winnipeg to Halifax A despatch from Ottawa says:-TF.e F-3 flying boat, in which Col.
