Sills & Sons C1 Fa Correct Installation You may resolve to have the very best furnace money can buy. • You may pay the highest' markef price for a furnace— And yet fail to satisfactorily heat your home. Much depends upon the way in which a furnace is installed, as well as on the kind of furnace you buy. For some homes a One -Register (pipeless) fur- nace is suitable. For others a piped furnace to deliver the heat to distant rooms is necessary. But no matter what size or model of furnace you may need to successfully heat your home, or what kind of fuel you may burn, there is a Sunshine Furnace that will heat your home without fail. There are two reasons why you are absolutely assured of satisfaction in a McClary's Sunshine Furnace (Pipe or One -Register) 1. Because the dealer knows and will recommend to you the cotrrect model of Sunshine furnace for your fuel and plan of house. 2. Because the furnace will be installed on correct principles by an expert .chosen by McClary's who know that he understands his business. Only. such dealers can get McClary's Sunshine Fur- naces to sell. McClary's stand back of every Sunshine Furnace and guarantee lit to dodits work, so they see to it that it is ar It is not enough for McClary's that the Sunshine Furnace is well built. but it must be correctly set up in order to radiate and deliver the required amount of heat to each room in the house. Every dealer who sells McClary's Sunshine Furnace is thoroughly qualified to advise you on your heating problem and to instal a McClary'a Sunshine so that it will give you the utmost satisfaction.

QUACKS 1? a man hoe, a oameer and it is not removed et en early stage of its om�th, n vtri g ,a r„n a .w,doin aka. that the roan will. die,' The chnecea of a cancer disappearing without -treatment are estimated at a great deal less than one vase in a hundred thousand by Dr. Garter Francis Wood, director of the Institute of Cancer Research at Coltunbla University, and one o the leaders in the war againgt cancer. He has 'prepared an article upon the cancer quack which will be widely .distributed as part of the sci- entific propaganda be be circulated in Cancer Week, which will be held all over the United States, beginning on October 30. In this article Dr. Wood says that next to the cancer itself the cancer quack is the greatest obstacle in the way of those who are studying the disease and trying to cure it. No quack can ever cure a cancer, he says. At times he may alleviate the symptoms, but this makes it only the more certain that the patient will die. There is no disease, perhaps, in ;which early d•iagnoeis And prompt treatment are so important as in cancer. If the discovery is made in the early stage of the disease the cures by operation •vary from twenty per cent. to 90 per emit., depending upon the location and nature of the growth. Therefore, if a person has cancer it is obvious that every day he wastes having it treated by' a quaok is a day lost. Dr. Wood is emphatic in denouncing those who advise medicine as a cure for cancer. There is no medicine, he says, which is any geed. The only re- cognized Means of extricating the cancer are by the knife, radium or the X -Ray. The great popular interest aroused by the X -Ray and radium treatments have given tho unscrupulous quacks an opportunity to prey upon the unsuspecting by giving treatments with insufficient quantities of 'radium and a badly - administered X -Ray. Not only do these treatments fail to effect a cure. They make re- covery even more improbable, for too small doses of these remedies cause the tumor to grow faster Similarly the mechanical manipu- lative therapeutists also do great harm by attempting to rub tumors away. Instead, they rub the tumor all over the patient, prevent any possibility of •successful operation and ultimately hasten the patient's death. The most dangerous of the several groups of quacks are those, according to Dr. Wlood, who bear high honors in the medical pro- fession and yet treat cancer by methods whi•h everyone should know are of no avail. He says that no one minds if the banker prefers to have his rheumatic joints massaged by a chiropractor or an osteopath, because the banker does not die of his rheumatism and may get well with or without treatment, but "if that banker has a cancer in 'his body, unless that cancer is re- movel by proper methods, he will die with almost the same degree of certainty that the :sun will rise to- morrow morning. Dr. Wood has seen thousands of letters written by less harmful quacks who believe they have a cer- tsin remedy for cancer_. Nearly all of them want to sell out to him. One man asks for a million dollars cash and he promises to demon- strate his cure. Kansas, he says, is particularly afflicted with cancer quacks. Most of them treat the disease with same stew of herbs, which has been tested for several generations. Dr. Wood's belief is that, while some of the testimonials in behalf of these decoctions are honest, the ,patients who testify never had cancer at all, but some other disorder which in all prob- ability would gradually have disap- peared had there been no quack remedy applied. He also warns against the use of caustics. They have 'been in vogue more or less) since the days of the Pharaohs, but whatever powers they have, are more strongly vested in the modem X -Ray and in radium. One cure was recommended to him by a well educated electrical engineer. The ingredients were a pint of milk and a pound of bird - hot. These were to be boiled' to- gether until thoroughly done, though how one was to know when they were done is not explained Then the shot was to be strained off and the milk drunk, One woman in .France wrote to say that she had a cure that had never failed. It had cured hundreds of people, according to her, and she offered to come to the United States and make Dr. Wood a free gift of it. A1l he had to do was to send her 20,000 franc& for travelling expenses. One curious thing about cancer is that while it is probably the most 'dangerous of diseases, and the most mysterious, more amateurs under- take to treat it. Men who would not have the impudence to suggest a remedy for a cold will yet pin their faith in some witches' broth guaranteed to cure a disease which, except by the methods mentioned, is incurable. BATHTUB WAS ONCE CONDEMN- ED BY MEDICAL AUTHORITY IN THE UNITED STATES That the bathtulb was once gener- ally condo/need by medical authority in the United States and that all bathing was pronounced illegal in Boston by legislative autlhority, "ex- cept for medicinal purposes," will probably surprise some who thinly that the regulation of our private iisabits'has ieaehed its •rnaxbnuan in tits year' 1921. Such, however, are the,ae related by the writer of �A "n- Ouline History of Tubbing,"" contributed to Gas Logic (New York, A t), Accordingto him, the first be -to -be ,wilt and treed in the �Pwas perpetrated by one hbmpaon, of Cincirratt, in the year 1842.

He groes on: "We halve ne record that it was in- veighed against by the clergy, but it was roundly denounced in the ipublic prints as subversive of democratic simplicity and pioneer hardihood. The good doctors averred that so luxurious a form of bathing, prac- tised in winter, would lead to `phth- isis, rheumatic fevers, inflammation of the lungs, and the whole category of zymotic diseases.' To prevent any such disaster, the common council of Philadelphia considered, but failed to pass by a margin of two votes, a measure making bathing illegal be- tween November 1st and March 15th, Virginia by legislative action laid a tax of $30 on all bathtubs, while Bos- ton went the whole hog by making bathing unlawful save on the advice of a physician. Be it said in extenu- ation of the hygienic condition of the Bostonese that the ordinance was never enforced and that in 1862 it was repealed. "President Fillmore .braved the shafts of ridicule in 1851 and had a bathtub installed in the White House and report says that this -action 80 far destroyed the prejudice that by 1860 every hotel in New York had a bathtub, and some of them two or three, a fact which must have to some extent lessened the Saturday night congestion in these )atter hos- telries. '.During the sixty years since this event progress has reached the point of, '1,000 rooms -1,000 baths,''', school baths, public baths, and even compulsory baths. The last, it is true, operate only with respect to certain special Classes, or we might! with more accuracy say conditions of men." CENTURY'S PROGRESS OF TROTTING CHAMPIONS No doubt the development of the automobile industry has been a sev- ere blow to the light harness horses. Instead of using a standard bred roadster, the average man who has much ,travelling to do, even if it is the farmer who goes to town only oc- casionally, buys a car. But regard- ing the light harness horse as a rac- ing tool, his popularity has not de- clined. Hundreds of breeders in the United States and Canada devote time and fortune to producing trot- ters and pacers that can win money on the race track. There are hun- dreds of these tracks in operation from early summer to the late fall, the most important of them being included in the Grand Circuit, which touches a dozen American cities, and where purses aggregating hundreds of thousands of dollars are competed for every year. The Grand Circuit season now draws to a close after a veritable feast of racing. The most outstanding performance of the year was that of Peter Manning, who DO ALL MY HOUSE WORK Before I took Lydia E. Pink - ham's Vegetable Compound I could hardly get about.

It is .possible that fester Miles had been trotted !before. Screwdriver's 'day. abet belie the first trotter to . make a record on a meabuned track.. Screw- driver trotted to saddle, 'as -did 'all the early record -!breakers down to Flora Temple, 2.24%, the record be- ing made an 1866. Since then all advances in speed have been made to sulky, though aportamen have now and then shot at the old saddle records; fiindfng them not more dif- ficult to shatter than the sulky records. Thera is no longer' any question that a horse is several seconds tauter to sulky than the saddle, and one of the reasons for the remarkable advance in speed is the improvement made by the builders of sulkies... A famous old-time trotter was Lady Suffdlk, who has been given credit, though erroneously as it now a,ppear's, as the first trotter to go a mile in 2.30. She eventually set the )nark at 2.26'/x. In those days the record was reduced with every new generation of trotter, as well as by improvements in shoeing and hitching, until we come to 1885, when Maud 5. trotted her mile in 2.08%. Maud S. was, perhaps, the most famous of trotters. She had some, such position in the hearts of those who bred or loved light har- ness horses, as did- her contem- porary, John L. Sullivan, in the affections of the 'boxing enthusiasts. Maud S. became, the property of Commodore Vandenbilt Who, like many of the other rich men of hia day, found his chief relaxation in driving fast horses. The legend goes that the Commodore eventually sold the mare because, when be drove out with her, •people would say, "There goes Maud S.," instead of saying, "There goes Commodore Van- derbilt" Maud S. was the first trot- ter to beat 2.10. From the time of Screwdriver the record was reduced, as a rule, by not more than two seconds at a time, sometimes by a mere fraction of a second. In her career on the turf Maud S. cut in a full four seconds. It remained for more than seven years, and then Sunol clipped half a second off it. The next cut was made by another mare, Nancy Hanks, aided by a kite -shaped track instead .of the conventional oval. She trotted a mile in 2.04 in Terre Haute in 1892, driven by the veteran, Bud Dable, whose name used to so delight Oliver Wendell Holmes. Two years later Alia shaved a quarter -second from the time of Nancy Hanks, and in another two years the Abbot set it at 2.05144. The big gelding was driven by Edward F. Geers, now past his seventieth year and still driving winners on the Grand Circuit. De- pfte the wonderful lot of 'horses that have passed through Geers' hands in the past fifty years, it was only with the Abbot that he was able to reduce the world's trotting record for a mile. Then appeared -Cresceus, the first stallion ever to hold the record. In 1901 he set the mark at 2.02%. Lon Dillon, credited with a mile in 1.58% was the next recognized champion, although her record is ignored by some authorities because it was made behind a wind shield. But she is popularly regarded as being the first trotter to beat two minutes, though Uhlan, owned by C. K. G. Billings, owner of Lou Dillon, was the first to do the trick without assistance from a wind shield, his final mark being 1.58, made at Lexington eleven years ago. •Since then the mark of Uhlan has been beaten only once, and that was by Peter Manning, who lopped a quarter of a second offit last month. It is interesting to note that Peter Manning drew a sulky weighing 28% pounds, with the shafts 87 inches long and the driver's seat resting only 25 inches from the ground. HURON NOTES —The anniversary services held in the Evangelical church, Zurich, on Sunday were a decided success. Large attendances were at both morning and, evening -services. Rev. Moyer, of Goderich, occupied the pulpit in the evening and rendered a splendid ad- dress. One of the main featured in the Sabbath school was a large rep- resentation in the Men's Adult Bible Class, from Crediton, same twenty, also from the 14th concession. In all some seventy were present. The entire offerings for the day amounted to aver four hundred dollars. --)rhe home of Mrs. Elizabeth Ann Grain, Zetland, was the scene of a pretty October wedding on Thursday evening, October 6th, when her only daughter, Margaret Ruby, was united in the holy bonds of .matrimony to Mr. Thomas Gilmour. The bride, who was given away .by her brother, Mr. Roland Grain, .locked charming in a gown of cream silk crepe de chene and carried a corsage boquet of carnations and roses. Rev. H. W.
