Really that heading means but little as the home of the United States President can well afford to celebrate on Christmas Day. But, what of the many hooses that will have no Santa Claus this year? Here in Wingham we have many fam- ilies who, without the aid of, their fellow -citizens, will not have a Santa Claus call or a Christmas dinner. Again this year the Chamber of Com- merce is requesting your subscription to the Christmas, Tree and Santa Claus Fund. The money so donated will be used to supply baskets of pro- visions for Christmas. Day and bags. of goodies for the children, This, fund needs your support. You may subscribe at either of the Iocal banks. Help faster the spirit of Christmas in Wingham by donating to this fund. k * * * CANADA LOSES OUT- STANDING CITIZEN General Sir Arthur Currie has been laid to rest, and with his passing Can- ada has lost one of her greatest cit- izens. During the world war Sir Ar- thur won a reputation for strategy that placed him as one of the fore- most generals in the British. Army. He was a great soldier but always had the interests of his men at heart, and the varry and strain of those years had, without a doubt, a great deal to do with his passing in his 58th year, Far the past number of years he has been Principal of McGill Univer sity, of Montreal, and his -remarkable organizing ability has been of great value tp that institution. The soldiers with whom' he fought loved him and the Professors and stu- dents of VlcGill'Univers.ity held him in great respect and honour, What greater tribute could a man receive. * Only fifteen more shopping days before Xmas. • * * * Wellington County is going to spend $125,000 on its roads. Here's hoping some of it is spent this side of Harriston, • * * * Ten boys from Arthur who are working in the road camp at Dwight, report nice new cabins, clean bed- ding andgood food. That is much better than the severe• criticism that was heard last year. * * .* *. Hon. Dr. R. J. Manion, who re- cently returned from Europe, thinks the European world is "sitting on a powder magazine." Here's hoping no one applies the torch. • * * * An Aldermanic candidate in Sirn coe says he hopes he is licked. The people there could surely- grant that wish. • .>; * * The Royal 'Winter Pair which clos- ed in Toronto last week was the mast successful ever held, according to re- ports, 3UCKLEY'S Gives You For More For Your Money BSuckley's goes many times as far as ordinary cough remedies, because.it can be diluted with water without impairing its marvellous healing and soothing qualities, and because only a: few doses are needed tohe ut t most stubborn Or p cough or cold out of business.

FAT HAS GONE "I was so. stout about 11 months ago," a woman writes, "that I became a burden to :myself. Then muscular rheumatism set into my•joints, and I had to go on sticks for some. time. Then 1 started to take Kruschen .Salts and I am overjoyed with the results I have derived from them. Honestly, I had no idea one could feel so diff- erent in such a short time. Since tak- ing Kruschen, I have lost nearly 28 lbs, of superfluous fat. I can now run about as well as when. I was 20, cools, work and attend to seven grow- ing children," -(Mrs.)' G. H. Unlike certain drastic. drugs, Kruschen does not aim to reduce by rushing. food through the body; its tction is not confined to a single,part of the system. It has a tonic influ- ence upon every organ of elimination, every gland, every nerve, every vein. Gently, but surely, it rids the system of all fat -forming refuse, of all pois- ons and harmful acids which give rise to rheumatism, digestive disorders, and many other .ills. A deer at Welland in search of food took to the garbage cans. If it lived in this part of the country it would find plenty to satisfy its hunger. .y: =1; A man after attending a meeting of the Oxford Group sent to the St. Marys Station Agent $60.00 conscien- ce money.

BEOGAR GIRL'S ROMANCE- Tfittot1 banns May Prove ger to BO of ROY011 Moo,. l.ropean experts in neraldry' etre stedytng a minute design recon- structed from bits of the tattooed Skin of Marthe, a Normandy shep- herd - woman and beggar, 40 years old, who may prove to be the ille its- mate daughter of a duke and a princess belonging to illustrious roye.1 families of Europe. All: that is known of Marthe, ofa� daily, . is that she was Sent to the orphanage of the Assistance Publique in Paris in 1890, when she was four years old. Like most of 'these waifs, Marthe was put in the hands of, farm- ers and became a shepherd girl in Normandy, ; subjected to constant harsh treatment. Marthe lived as best she could, through 35 years of her life, mostly by begging for her food. - Then, in 1926 a doctor treating her discovered 16 .scars on her body. He recognized them as tattoo marks which had been burned more than 30 years before. On the doctor's advice the scars woreexamined by experts who con- cluded that, as a baby, she had been tattooed by a clever artist with 16 identical coats of arms and that be- fore she wasthree or four years old the marks had been clumsily remov- ed by painful operations. The traces which remain, examin• - ed by a magnifying, glass, show an escutcheon of an alliance between two celebrated families. It is a ques- tion whether this was done by her parents and then cut out when they decided to return to their families and put the girl in the orphanage. The experts in heraldry reported' no trouble in identifying parts of two royal coats -of -arms. The official records in the French Government show that the birth cer- tificate of the shepherd -beggar had been tampered with in the great volume of the '1st Arrondissement, Certain marginal annotations had been scratched out and there .is no clue from that record as to who het parents may have. been. REDUCED HIS OWN SALARY. SIR ISAAC ISAAC'S As a contribution to national econ- omy, Sir Isaac Isaacs, first Austra- lian -born Governor-General of that country, voluntarily reduced his sal- ary by $5,000. He had previously, relinquished his .judicial pension of $7,000 per year and does not receive the $10,000 living allowance paid to his predecessors in the office. SOVIET FIVE-DAY WEEK. Complicated System Bat Workeret Know Their Day Off. In Soviet Russia the name of the Jay of the week is without signific- ance, Instead, the populace figures its dates according to its day off. "The fifth day" is the key to the calendar so far as the present-day Russian is concerned. Ask any pass- erby in the street what day of the iveek it is and he will shake his head in ignorance. But follow him to his home and you will find there a calen- dar on which he has placed a. red mark on every fifth day. That signi- ties' his day off under the Soviet five- day week. Fundamentally, the universal cal- endar still exists, although it is var- ied somewhat for government and. industrial purposes by the adoption of the 30 -day month. One day in each of the seven 31 -day months is considered an "extra day." From these seven "extra days" are sub- tracted two to make up the difference of February; The net total of five "extradays" is required of each Worker r,government f or service in some form or another. In turn, the government "pays hack" these fide days by granting five days of national holidays - two for May Day, two to commemorate the October revolution and one for the anniversary of Lenin's death. FRANCE THE EMPIRE. Prance is a nation/ of 100,000,000 people spread over. 12,000,000 square kilometers. From the point of view of the area which, she occupies upon this globe of ours she is, `thanks to her colonies, the third largest coun- try in the World, the first 'being the British Empire, and the second Rus- sia. She is larger than China or the United Staten, With regard to popu- lation, France is the fifth country of the world, the first four being the Brltish Empire, China, Soviet Russia and the united States. Without hes colonies France would be, measured by area, only the seventeenth, and by population only the eleventh coun- try. -The Nineteenth. Century.

Often if is very old, and its original purpose has been quite forgotten. .Ewen ifit has been acquired recently, it is most apt to be soiled and contaminated by countless fingers and frequent use. Ointments which have been pres- cribed for specific conditions are of unquestioned value; they are the .es- tablished remedies for a number. of skin diseases. Ointments, However, of no specific value, that lie around in she medicine chest, , belong to that great class of nostrums known as "cure-alls They are said to cure with ease every kind of skin disorder from; corns to cold sores. Their de- votees are willing to swear to their efficacy in almost every skin condi- tion, Sometimes' these ointments do lit- tle harm other than to delay nature in the healing process by keeping moist a wound that would heal more rapidly in the dry state, Sometimes the delay is due to the ointment's blocking up a collection of pus that should be allowed to drain freely. The feat danger, liowev'er, that lies in the application of ointments or salves is their indiscriminate use on fresh scratches rand wounds. Such scratches and wounds should be re- garded seriously. Very often they re- quire medical ne teal .- care , if a con- dition is to be avoided. Malty fatal cases' of septicaemia, or "blood -pois- oning" have followedcarelessnessor neglect of what seemed to be insig- nificant scatehes. In the case of even the slightest abrasion contaminated with soil, there is the danger of te- tanus or "lock-jaw". What should be done for scratches and minor cuts that are of frequent occurrence, especially with .children? The first, requirement is to see that they are cleansed properly, The most effective cleansing agent is soap and warm water. Following this, one of the well-known antiseptic solutions may be used, and a clean gauze dress- ing applied. ,This procedure serves as an adequate protection in inost in- stances. If the cut or scratch is at all severe, the family physician should be called. In any event, there is no indication for the use of an ointment, and par- ticularly one that has been lying ar- ound the medicine chest.
