Irl doing so she put out her tongue which came in contact with the frosty rail. That organ immediately became frozen to the steel. The child's cries were heard by Firemen Edmunds and Kempstone, of the former's garage nearby, and they rushed to her assist- ance. In a few moments the little lady was released by adopting first aid methods which was accomplished by the men blowing their warm breath to the railing and tongue. Another citizens reached the scene about the same time as the two rescuers and would have pulled the child away had they not prevented him. Had he done so, a terribly lacerated tongue might have been'the result. .Mitchell Advo- cate.. Has Three Great -Grandmothers When Robert Kinsey Bedford, son of Mr. and Mrs, R. J.

Mrs. Newell although suf- fering extreme pain, was reported to idity. be resting as comfortably as possible. The human body is delicately bal- anced machine. The blood never be- comes acid. Our correspondents have formed the conclusion that their blood is acid, and they do not know that their bodies require a balance diet— one which contains both acid—and alkali—forming foods. People have read so much about the importance of vitamins that they are stampeded into buying special preparations which are sold to them as being rich in vitamins. The truth is that vitamins are important, but they are found in all natural foods, The normal person who eats a wide variety of •foods secures all the vita- mins he .creeds. Everyone should know the import- ances, not only of vitamins, but of minerals, fats, carbohydrates and pro- teins in the diet. They .should also know that well-balanced meals, the year round will take care of all these items in the diet. Particularly we need a wide variety of foods, making sure that milk and milk products, green vetables, and fresh or dried fruits are used daily, The most dangerous of all little knowledge is that which brings any person to feel competent to treat di- sease, The government ,recognizes that it takes years of preparation be- fore anyone is ready to diagnose die.' ease and. prescribe - treatment. That is why the laws of 'our country re-' quire that the student of medicine spend several years at a medical school and then pass certain exam- inations to show his ability to care for the sick before he ie licensed to practice nedicine, The public have a right to be in- canted eoncertting health matters, just as the wise than takes out Instr.

Opening of Market at Walkerton In conformity with, an advance no- tice in a previous issue, the formal opening of the public market here took place on Saturday last at 8 a.m. with the Citizens' Band in attendance. The spacious room where the 'offer- ings were on display was comfortab- ly filled ,with vendors and ,prospect- ive purchasers throughout the hours of selling and buying. A large por- tion of the produce on sale changed ownership at reasonable figures be- fore the bell rang at 10 o'clock as a signal that business men and others could enter the market place and dic- ker with the producers for, the stuff.— Walkerton Herald -Times.

RED CARROTS AS WINTER GREEN FEED FOR POULTRY (Experimental Farms Note) It is a known fact that green feed in one form or another is a very val- uable addition to a poultry ration. No natter how well balanced any ration may be there seems to come, a time when a change is desirable. Variety in a diet is possibly no less welcome Ito the hen than to the human race. Though it has been authentically re- ported that birds reeciving dried green feed such as alfalfa leaf meal give results as good if not better than birds receiving steeped alfalfa, cab- bage and mangels, the question of a change in diet is a point that will al- ways deserve consideration. In the feeding of the birds in the Egg -Laying Contests at the Domin- ion Experimental Farm, Agassiz, B. C., particular attention has always been given to the matter of green feed. For many years mangels were used in this connection during the winter months. However, as evident- ly the value of the rnangel did not justify its classification so much as a green feed as a succulent feed only, the attention of those responsible has recently been turned more and more to the value of red carrots. The lat- ter is of value not only for its suc- culency but for its vitamin content also. No matter how well balanced a ra- tion may be success in feeding whe- ther it be poultry or other live stocic depends very much indeed on the ab- ility of the feeder. It is here where his power of observance comes in,'. Birds will apparently, if given the op- portunity, pick out from a. number of feeds not only what they prefer but what is best for thein. Although' no definite experimenthas been car- ried out at Agassiz in the feeding of red carrots as against mangels, the evidence so far obtained from the feeding of both of these is inclined' to be much in favour of the red car- rots.
