Every trace of dizziness and headaches have disappeared and any sleep is wonderfully improved. I Dave taken medicines in England, Egypt, South Africa and Canada dur- ing the eight years I served in the British Army but I never found any that approached the Sargon treat- enent."--Harry E.

THIRD PRIZE ESSAY AT CONTEST Why "I Would Choose a Total Ab- stainer Rather Than a Moderate Drinker as the Driver of My Automobile What a happy carefree manner in 'which to spend the afternoon! Spin- ning along over a smooth, wide scen- ic country road, with all the glories of spring unfolding around you. With not a trouble in the world, every re- volution of the wheels brings some new panorama of spring before your eyes. Nothing could be more jolly,' .out look outl Watch that car careen- ing towards you! Another drink - crazed driver. Suddenly your thought, i, terminated by a crash. Then silen ce . How many similar accidents have occurred? How many lives have been ; suddenly terminated, and a peaceful afternoon outing been turned into a catastrophe? In these supposedly enlightened , days of Christianity and civilization I have a desire to know why one 1 cannot pick up a newspaper without being confronted by glaring black headlines describing the latest auto- mobile accident duo to the fact, that the driver :was under the influence of liquor. A famous philusophcr once said; "Wealth is the source of all evil." I disagree with him, In my opinion, ,john Barleycorn has been the cause of more disastrous events than wealth ever attempted to be. The greatest peril there is nowadays is to find yourself in the same locality. with an intuaieated driver in the pos- eession of a weapon of destruction it the shape of a modern high-power- ed automobile. It has been found that a modern automobile travelling at the velocity of forty-five miles per hour has the striking force to move a solid mass weighing two tons some eighty feet! Irnagine such an instru- ment in the hands of a dipsomaniac (drunkard). You may argue that the man who only takes a glass now and then is equally as able physically and men- tally as the total abstainer. But in a critical moment the moderate drinker would lose just that addition- al ability mentally and physically that is possessed by the man who does not drink and his inability would probably end in disaster. In an old fable there was mentioned a magnetic mountain that would draw the bolts out of passing ships and leave them a wreck. So it is with liquor. It takes all the good qualities out of a man and leaves him a wreck on the shoals of failure. Take Major Seagrave, the British speed champ- ion. He's a total abstainer and does not take alcohol in any forma Hurtl- ing down Daytona Beach at a speed never imagined by our fore -fathers he needed all his strength of mind and body to control the intricate maze of machinery under him. One twist of the wrist and nothing would remain but a twisted, smoking rem- nant of this god of speed. and his chariot. Take the country of Ger- many. There everyone drinks beer from the scholars to the old men in the chimney -corners. Is it due to this fact that the Germans are the de- bauched, sluggish and legarthic race that they are? If at some future date my Castles in Spain should be realized and I be- come a roan of means, there would be no matter to which I would ex- ercise so much attention as to . the choosing of my chauffeur. The .first consideration would be to know whether he was a total abstainer or the proverbial drunkard. If he were the former I would have no doubts as to keeping hen in my employment. If the latter I would discharge him at once. Why, you ask, all these pre cautions? The answer is simple, Does not your chauffeur have your life entrusted to his keeping? And it is essential that if a man has a human life entrusted to his care, be be capable of filling that responsibil- =011===10=0=10=00=0===0=0 0=0 '; ,•' i •• . 1=10=0 0 Have You Entered Your Guess In The CONCOLEUM 11 GUESSING n CONTEST IF NOT, DO SO NOW eiSee Our Window Display nHOW YOU CAN WIN A 0 GOLD SEAL CONGOLELM RUG 0 FREE BALLOTS IN THE STORE SEE THE NEW PATTERN SEE .OUR BIG STOCK SEE THE QUALITY Look For The Gold Seal BALLOT BOX CLOSES ONE P.M.

Canada, it is said, is just in the prime of its rise among the nations. What, I ask you, has caused this? The answer is—good citizens, and what Canada wants in the future is the right kind of citizens to make Canada the prosperous, glorious and free country that it promises to be in the future.

SPOTTON'S MEETING I went to Spotton's meeting to hear our Hired Man's tale, Of how he'd used his trusty tools, and just to what avail; How he had plied his hammer, how driven home his nail, What kind of seving he had employed U '77)/-(1 Grains of Wheat and Rice Sh.;t from Huge To make them twice as delicious . How exploding 125 million food cells makes Puffed Wheat and Puffed Rice as nourishing as hot cooked cereals. WAVE you tasted this utterly different kind of cereal ... Puffed Wheat and Puffed Rice . . , the crispest, crunchiest cereal on the market today? Puffed Wheat and Puffed Rice ate different because they're made differently. Choice full -.flavored grains of wheat and rice are sealed in huge bronze guns. Thein revolved in fiery ovens. This expands the natural mois- ture in the .millions of tiny food cells. Then the guns are fired. Causing 125 million explosions in every grain. Every tiny food cell is blasted open. The grains are made as completely digestible as though they had been cooked for hours. Hence Puffed Wheat and Puffed Rice ate virtually as nourishing as hot cooked cereals. These grains "'shot from guns" become 8 times normal size. They have all the buttery crispness of fresh. toast. They taste like sweet new nutmeats. Fever before was rich grain nourishment made so. delectably good to eat, Order Puffed Wheat and, Puffed Rice from your grocer today, The Quaker Oats Company. QUAKER ; PUFFED WHEAT AND PUF s . twice as digestible Ll when flinging wide his flail. But, I was disappointed, for other "Lights" were there, Who took a .mean advantage of a most indulgent chair, They did not seem to think the 'meet' was Spotton's big affair, And of the brief, and .precious time, they stole the Lion's share. While Spotton, vexed itinerant, .paced o'er the platform floor, The Simcoe and the Renfrew guilt maintained their awful roar, And spat their bullets far and wide, till I, at least got sere; And kept repeating to myself, the "Ravens," "Nevermore." Of the Liberal party's many cringes, the audience knew enough, It had watched it, o'er and o'er again, dish up its trashy stuff; Had been inoculated, too, with its clarifying? snuff, And confused beyond endurance by its tantalizing bluff. But I think that party feeling is 'a thing to be tabooed, Especially in times like these, it should not be renewed; I'm sure Canadian interests, would be better, truer, viewed, :If. those bitter party feelings could be utterly eschewed. We should not send our hired man like a focman to a fight, But to end all sorts of evils, and set every covering aright, To trim the . torch of justice, so it may show the light;. And testify . abundantly, that ever Right is Might. Reviewing Spotton's conduct, in the Session just gone by, It did not show him humble, .11 did not show him: shy; It did not show always stick, quite close to Tory fry; But where his conscience led hint, right 'thither did he hie. I know he gloried in his work, and valued high his spade. An implement designed for use, and wonderfully made; Which dug immense incisions, about a ton it weighed, .And, oh, its excavations—just wait till they're 'assayed, True, George is but a young man, unskilled as yet, although, He's shown some real ability in hand - ' ling the Hoe, His fork, he uses forcefully, his rake he seems to know; His tools, 'tis true, are made for use, and none of thein for show. He isn't fond of patching, inserts he won't abide, And silly kinds of makeshifts, he'll cuttinglyderide. In anything that's shady, he never. will confide, However, white it's painted, its black inside. he sees So we are going to trust him, quite sure he'll do his best, To serve ars faithfully and well, with all his mighty zest; He's not the least concerned about the feathering of his nest, So, "Go back to your work, George, boy, your labors we have blest." Jas. G. Webster. HEALTH SERVICE Of The CANADIAN MEDICAL ASSOC- IATION HEART DISEASE The heart is a muscle organ which acts as a pump, sending the blood to all parts of the body, The blood must reach all parts because it carries the nutrition upon which depends the very life of each part.. If the heart is damaged, the result is heart . dis- ease. Depending upon the nature and extent of the damage, the heart is correspondingly unable to carry out its work. The heart muscle may be damaged as the result of infection. The pois- ons given off by germs are very apt to cause injuries to the heart muscle. Rheumatic fever, syphilis, diphtheria and scarlet fever are the principal dis- eases in which the heart is damaged by the poisons of the germs which cause them, .Another form of infection which is frequently responsible for heart dis- ease is that which is caused by ton- sillitis and diseased teeth. to such cases,' there is a focus of infection in. tonsils or teeth where poisons are produced by the germs living at the focus, and such poisons, when carried in the blood stream, may damage the heart, Acute rheumatism is the chief cause of Heart disease in early life. The specific cause of rheumatism is not known. It should be understood that growing pains, tonsillitis, chorea and St. Vitus' Dance are evidence of rheumatism in children. ' Theprevention of heart disease be- gins with the maintenance of physi- cal fitness by proper food, fresh air, sunshine, rest and play. A clean mouth, which means regular dental care, and the treatment or removal of diseased teeth; the treatment,'`or removal, if necessary, of diseased ton •sils; prompt attention to tonsillitis or sore throat, growing pains; or painful joints, chorea or St. Vitus' Dance, are all essential, as are the prevention' of diphtheria by immuni- zation at an early age, protection against the communicable diseases and proper care of these, if Contract- ed, with particular supervision during the convalescence. As the individual grows older, care should, be taken to avoid those con- ditions which, although not direct: causes, do predispose the heart to 0 damage or to the breakdown of a heart already somewhat damaged, Such conditions are excesses of any. kind, whether in food or drink, or in the manner of life. Too little or too much exercise, lack of rest, over -eat- ing and worry are some of the factors which contribute to the incidence of heart disease. When heart disease is detected ear- ly, and the individual is able and' will- ing to adjust his life to the capacity of a. weakened' organ, lie very fre- quently outlives his friends because of the reasonable care which he gives himself.

Hints For Homebodies Written. for The Advance -Times By. Jessie Allen Brown Swat the Fly! A swat in time saves nine! Senator Wilson It seems that for once a politician has done something, of which every- one approves. I have not seen a dis- seating voice, in the Press, on Mrs. Wilson's appointment to the Senate, but there have been none, to my knowledge, who have questioned the wise choice; of Mrs. Wilson. Itis an unusual state of affairs and quite flattering to Mrs. Wilson, and a re- cognition of her unquestioned ability. Mrs. Wilson admonishes the wo- men to vote. It is a wise admoni- tion. It doesnot matter which side you vote for, but be interested, and else your franchise to, the best of your 0l ability. The organization of the young people, of both parties, is an encouraging note. 'They tell us that we Canadian women are not as in- terested in politics as the English wo- men. One reason has been, that we did not start early enough. If you want to. arouse interest and enthus- iast., you Must catch them young. Women are accused of not having clone very much with their franchise, but there has been a considerable amount of social legislation passed since women had the franchise. But whether it was because the women had the vote or not; it is hard to say, but the fact remains that we have the new laws. Such Acts .as The Adoption Act, The Maintenance of Parents Act, The Venereal Registra- tion Act, and legislation favoring wo- men, in cases where men die intestate, are .examples. .A merry party was going on in one of the rooms of a•large hotel when the festivities were interrupted by an attendant, who said: "Gentlemen, I've been sent to ask you to make less noise. The gentleman in the next room says he can't read." "Can't read," replied the host, "Weil, tell him he ought to be ash- amed of himself. Why, I could read when I was five."
