WHY BOTHER?
During the ages, the superstitions
that were associated with the healing
art have ' gradually disappeared. In
the earliest centuries, treatment was
•carried out with ceremonial, incanta-
tions, mysterious potions and dances,
and offerings were made to the spir-
its. To -day, medicine is a science
lased upon investigation, experiment
.and analysis.
In the coarse of this development,
great progress has been made, not
only, in the treatment of disease but
:also in its prevention. In one sense,
progress has been rapid, but in an?
-other, it appears to 'he slow because
there is still much to be learned a-
bout the mechanism 'of the human
body, and there are still diseased con-
•ditions which baffle us and which
seem to be beyond our control.
One thing that has been clearly
:shown is that many serious and
'chronic diseases have their beginn-
ings in what are apparently trivial
'conditions. Every advanced cancer
was at one time a local disease which
could have been cured. ,Chronic heart
and kidney diseases do not begin as
-serious .conditions; theyy pass through
an early stage. Tuberculosis usually
first shows itself as a mild localized
disease.
WARNINGS
Mystery Voices and l'r'olrhetio Dreams
That; Have Sawed Many
Lives,
Speaking ata meeting of the Sur -
Viva' League, Mr. Oliver Baldwin,
M.P., son of Mr. Stanley Baldwin, re-
lated 'sow ;a mysterious voice carne
to him on the battlefield„ ordering
him to move at once from the spot Q11
wale's he stood, He did so, and next
momenta Shell fell on the very spot
be had just left.
You may call it imagination if you
please, says .a correspondent in An-
swers, yet there were literally dozens
of such,cates during the Great War.
A friend .of the writer, who was in
charge (Asa Labor Company behind
the lines, had a similar warning::
A voice in his ear told him to move
his men. He had had similar warn -
tugs, during a long life spent in many
wild countries, and promptly ordered
his men awa.Y from. the 'work they
were doing.
They ,thought him crazy, but they
changed their minds when, not live
minutes later, an eight -inch shell, fir-
ed from a distant German gun, burst
in the very place where they had
been digging.
One more story, A Capt. Q'Neill
was in charge of an observation post
in a ruined house, and was alone in
an upper room when a voice said.
loudly and distinctly: "Go below!"
He did so: As ire reached the ground
floor, there was an appalling crash
and all went dark. He was dug out
from the ruins alive and not much
hurt, but, as he said -himself: "If 1
had remained upstairs there would
not even have been pieces to pick
up."
One of the best authenticated
warnings was given in a dream to
Mr. Claude Sawyer, a company direc-
tor, who spoke of it when giving evi-
dence before the Board of Trade in
an inquiry concerning the loss of the
steamship Waratah.
This ship disappeared, with all
hands, off the South African coast,
between Durban and Cape Town, in
July, 1909. Mr. Sawyer had booked
to Gape Town, but he landed at Dur-
ban and sent a cable to his wife:
"Booked Gape Town. Thought War-
atah top-heavy, so landed at Dur-
ban."
He did think' the ship top-heavy,
but the real reason for hisleaving
her was a series of strange dream's.
He said: "I sawa man dressed in a
very peculiar dress, with a long sword
in his right hand which he seemed to
be holding between us. In the, other
hand he had a rag covered with
blood. I saw this three times in
rapl,d succession.'
It has since been'learned that an-
other passenger, a girlof, fifteen,
dreamed :vividly three night in suc-
cession that the Waratah would nev-
er reach her port, and that everyone;
would be drowned, This was before
leaving home. The girl had to be
dragged aboard, weeping, and hyster-
ically protesting that she would never
see her friends again. She was right.
Of eight men, who formed part of
a shift In the Village Deep Mine, one
of the deepest gold -mines on the
Rand, only one is alive to -day. He
owes his life to a warning from some
super -normal source. His name is
Hendrik. Johannes Olivier.
He dreamed that there was a fail
of roof in the gallery where he work-
ed, and when hp went down next day
he told the shift boss of his dream.
The man laughed, but Olivier was
watohful. Suddenly came a roar, and
great black shapes seemed to jump in
front of him. He lost consciousness.
When he ca.me'to he put his hand out
and felt rocks.all round. He had just
one match left, and you may try to
picture his feelings as he struck it.
Its light showed a short length of
candle on a ledge nearby, and he lit
this. He remembered the whole
scene, which was precisely as seen in
his dream of the previous night, and
he remembered, , too, that in his'
dream he had been able to dig his
way out. Everything came back to
him exactly, so that he knew precise-
ly which rocks to move.
At last, after some two hours of
desperate work, he emerged in safe-
ty beyond the. fall. His seven work-
mates were crushed and killed.
It is for these reasons that we
should bother about what we might
consider to be trivial diseases or ev-
en what seems to be .merely a lack
of physical fitness, Proper treatment
during the early stages is necessary to
arrest the progress of many diseases.
The chief objection to self-nedicaf'
'tion is that it delays proper treatment
which, when it is secured in time,
offers the only possible chance of
nipping in the bud a condition which
may lead to serious or chronic dis-
ease.
The practitioner of medicine is not
a magician. The .good he can do is
limited' by the knowledge he possess
es. Ike •tines not promise cures, but
he does offer the benefits of medical
science, and if we are unfortunate en-
ough to suffer, it may be because we
have not availed ourselves of his
skill. We still delay in securing his
services, and. it is such delay which
leads to serious trouble.
Why bother about minor, condit-
ions of ill) -health? The answer is that
the best time to consider disease is
when the most can be done with it,
and that is before is becomes firmly
rooted in the body. Proper early
treatment has, much to offer in the
Prevention of serious chronic disease
against which, in their advanced stage
we have not any specific remedy.
Early 'treatment is then the answer
to Why Bother?

Fall Wheat Good Crop
The harvesting of fall wheat in the
southwestern portion of the province
has 'been general during the past ten
days. Due to warm weather with cool
nights during ripening time, the heads
are quite plump and the growers are
securing much larger- 3 ields than they
expected. Reports of agricultural re-
presentatives
e presentatives from other parts of On-
tario would indicate a fair average
crop of wheat.
Sterilizing Important
The proper sterilization of dairy
utensils is somewhat difficult in farm'.
dairies where there is no live steam.,
Boiling water is effective if it is real-
ly boiling, but in too many cases it
is justhot and this does not kill bac-
teria. One dairyman who has all his
buildings wired with electricity, has.
installed an electric water -heater iii
the dairy room at the barn. All milk
pails and all the metal parts of his.
milking machine 'are thoroughly
scalded and he -reports fewer com-
plaints from the shipping 'plant than
when boiling water was carried from
the house. Where electricity is not
available, the use of sterilizing solu-
tions should be considered. Your

Mortality Among Young Pigs
One :of .the most serious problems'
confronting swine breeders now, is
undoubtedly the high mortality am-
ong the very young pigs, sometimes
called '"Anemia in sickling pigs." For.
some .tithe the staff of the Ontario
Veterinary College in co-operation
with the Animal Husbandry Depart.'-
anent of the 0. A. C, have been study-
ing this problem and they are frank
to admit that many phases of the dis-
ease still baffle them. The disease
can be prevented by keeping the preg-
nant sow and then the litter in an
environment which inclucles plenty of
:air,' sunshine and green feed, but in
Winter . time when these conditions
are out of the question, the disease
is much more difficult to control. 'In
a/ test recently made a nuirrber .of
young bacon type sows were pieced
through the province for breeding,
and a check made on their growth and
production of young pigs. Records.
of 39 gilts farrowing this spring show
that the average litter contained .only
10.9 pigs of which 6.5 were. saved to
grow to cominercial ase and weights..
The greatest cause for loss is said to
be too often careiessneas and inexper-
ience on the part of the owner both
during pregnancy and after. Many
losses might be prevented with a lit-
tle care and extra watchfulnes.
Poultry Market Unpromising.
An official forecast states that the
poultry market for the balance 'of the

HEN your merchandise turnover is
sluggish and your revenue falls off it's
time to look your business squarely in
the eye.
you're rou're likely to find two particu-
larly disturbing factors. One is that some of
your customers are shopping outside of Wing -
ham. The other is that these same customers,
and some others also, are buying from mail or-
der houses.
Disturbing as these conditions are, adver-
tising is a way of getting around them. Adver-
tising,

tising, that is, where it can do you the Most
good, advertising where your customers are
certain to see it—advertising ill your local
home newspaper.
Your own advertising is essential. There's
no doubt of that. But if your merchandise
turnover is to speed up and stay that way, the
advertising support of the manufacturers
whose commodities you handle is just as nec-
eSsai'
Anyd you can go a long way in enlisting the
support of these 'Manufacturers quite easily.
When the salesmen of the manufacturers
whose goods you stock call on you, impress
thele with this thought:
If you are to do any sizable amount of busi-
ness you mast keep Winghani's folk comingto
your stores and that advertising in your local
home newspaper—your own and that of the
nranu:facotrer---is therefore an absolute neces-
sity,
Make this thought impressive enough and
the salemen are bound toconvey it to their
home offices where advertising moneys are de-
cided upon and advertising media selected.
