Help for Asthma. Neglect gives
asthma a great advantage. The
trouble once it has secured a foot-
hold, fastens its grip on the bronchial
passages tenaciously. Dr. J. D, Kel-
logg's -Asthma Remedy is daily ben-
efitting cases of. asthma of long;
standing. Years of suffering, how-
ever, might have been prevented had
the remedy been used when .the
trouble was in its first stages: Do not
neglect asthma, but use this prepar-
ation at once.

to Stratford, where he passed to his
reward a few years later. Mrs. Hod-
gins moved to Toronto where she still
resides.
+The next president was Mrs. J.

Owing to ill -health Mrs. Berry was'
not always able to attend the Dorcas
meetings but the rectory was always
at the clispo•sal of the \V,A. in which
to hold; their meetings and thus con-
serve fuel, always receiving aid in
many ways from. one who endeared
herself to all the members, Rev. J.

Rev. T. H. Brown eves transferred
from Meafiord and (Mrs. Brown be-
came president and after- seventeen
years is still laboring faithfully in
W.A. work. During these years
there have been many changes, tunny
homes .saddened and many difficulties
to surmount but the'work has gone
steadily on even through the terrible
years of the .Great War.
On December 1st, .1i914, the branch
observed their twenty-fifth anniver-
sary, owing to sadness„prevailhtg, in
a quiet way by a celebration of the
Holy Communion at five o'clock, the
rector officiating and also giving a
very inspiring and congratulatory ad-
dress on the work the W.A. had done
since organization: • By the kindness
of the•rector•and Mrs. Brown, tea was
served at six o'clock at the rectory
where the first meeting was held. This
was followed by a social hour and
then. election of officers for the com-
ng year.
One of the pleasing 'events during
Mrs: Brown's term was the presenta-
tion of a 7,.ife,Mem�bership to the-most-
oved and most -faithful worker in the
W.A., the Red, Cross and wherever

CHRfSTMAS. MAILING
The Post Office Department again
calls upon the public to help out the
service and mail parcels early. This
not only relieves the last minute rush
but also insures safe and sure delivery
in time for :Christmas Day. Parcels
,for overseas and,for -the United States
shou1;d'bear a Customs declaration, and
the mailing public should understand
that the placing of such a declaration
on a parcel does not necessarily mean
that duty will be collected but it does
insure thatsuch parcels will not .be
held up indefinitely at the custom
ports of entry, 'since at this time of
year there is a tremendous ;congestion
of mail matter and hence mailers are
helping themselves when trey follow
thesuggestions of the Post Office
Department. Special aodotnmodation
is provided in the lobby 'of the Sea -
forth Post Office, for the placing of
such declaration on the parcels. It
would pay also to insure your par-
cels. The charge for same is very
small and value for parcels lost can
be recovered. Many mailers this year
are sending their Christmas greeting
via Air Mail, using the new 5 cent
A+ir Maid stamp. C. P. Sills, P.M.

ity and poise is being more fully re-
cognized each year. This year the,
pupils under the able direction of
Miss Sinclair and Miss Fennel are
preparing two. entertaining plays for
the Commencement program,

zine is being prepared by the pupils,
