The complaints of that season, which are cholera in- fantum, colic, diarrhoea and dysen- tery come on so ggickly that often a little one is beyond aid before the mother realizes he is i11. The mother must be on her guard to prevent these troubles, or if they do come on sud- denly to banish them. No other med- icine is of such aid to mothers dur- ing hot weather as Baby's Own Tab- lets. They are absolutely safe. Sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' lIedicine Co., Brockville, Ont. QUEBEC LIQUOR REVENUE Ordinary receipts of $21,634,641 for the fiscal year ending June 30th, 1923, of the Province of Quebec are :shown in the statement of receipts and expenditures published in the last issue of the Quebec Official Gazette. Expenditure is given at $20,190,275, making the surplus $1,544,366. The operation of the Quebec Liquor Act brought the province 34,581,052, of which 33,000,000 is trade account, and $1,581,052 revenue from licenses on taverns, shops, restaurants and the 5 per cent. tax on the brewery out- put. The Government's revenue from the act during the fiscal year ended June 30th, 1922, was $4,362,746, conse- quently the increase is only $118,306. The trade account in this year was $2,860,010, giving an increase in trade account of 3139,990 and in license account of $78,316. BIRTHS AND BIRTH RATE IN ONTARIO • From the 52nd Report of Vital Statistics for Ontario, just issued, covering the year 1921, some inter- esting facts may be gleaned. Of the total population of the Province, 2,- 933,662, the cities contained 1,163,133 or 39.7 per cent. of the whole, the towns of over 5,000 population 156,497 or '5.3 per cent., and the balance, lje- ing 1,614,032 or 55.0 per cent. is dis- tributed in the townships, villages and towns under 5,000 population, otherwise designated In this report as "rural." The birth rate (exclud- ing stillbirths) for the entire Prov- ince in 1921 was 25.3 per 1,000 of population, the rate in the cities be- ing 27.7 in the towns 31.2, and rural, 22.9. While there was a numerical increase in births of 1.641 over illiose of 1920, the r9be shows the slight in- crease of 0.3 over 1,000 population. Ten years ago the birth rate in On- tario was 22.9. There were 38.307 male to 35,845 female births, the re- tie being 107 males to 100 females. An interesting table published for ftli e'leaR? „f,Yi wt�dr r i U 3?li4i", K ttaa"' the first time in the report shows the ages of the piafents in respect •to births, From this it is. to be noted that there were mere mothers at 25 .RQ 8. ,of, age Ahem at any other age, while the commonest age for leathers woe 845 years. Where illegitimacy is in, question the largest number of mothers were 19 years of age. The youngest ,mother was 13 years; the oldest over 56 years of age. The youngest fathers were 18 and the oldest Aver 70. The number of ille- gitimate births registered was 1,592 which is a rate of 21.5 per 1;000 living births. This is 1.0 higher than for the previous year. As usual, the cities contributed the largest num-. ber, 1,052, a rate of, 32.6. This ab- normally high rate is due in. a large measure to hospitalization, it is pointed out, and the fact that women come or are sent to urban centres from rural parts of the Province.for their confinement. There were 784 pairs of twins born during the year, which is the largest number on re- cord. Of these -813 were boys and 755., girls, Of triplets there were 12 sets, or 86 children in all, 26 be- ing boys and 11 girls. RHEUMATIC SUFFERERS May Obtain Relief - By - Enriching the Blood Supply. In the days of ou- r fathers and grandfathers, rheumatism w a s thought to be the unavoidable penalty of middle life and old age. Almost every elderly person had rheumatism as well as many young people. It was thought that rheumatism was the mere effect of exposure to cold and damp, and it was treated with lini- ments and hot applications, which sometimes gave temporary relief, but did not remove the trouble. In these days there were many cripples. Now, medical science understands that rheumatism is a disease of the blood, and that with good, rich red blood any man or woman of any age can defy. rheumatism- There are many elderly people who have never felt a twinge of rheumatism, and many who have conquered it by simply keeping their blood rich and pure. The blood enriching qualities of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills is • becoming every year more widely known, and the more general use of these pills has robbed rheumatism of its terrors. At the first sign of poor blood, which is shown by loss of appetite, dull skin and dim eyes, protect/ yourself a- gainst further ra0agea of disease by taking Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. They have helped thousands—if you give them a fair trial they will not dis- appoint you. You can get these pills through any dealer its medicine or by mail at 50 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont, HURON NOTES —J. P. Sheppard & Co., of Clinton, have purchased from Mr, William Harland, the building occupied by them as a grocery for a number of years. —Harry Ubelaeker, a camper on tlhe Exeter side of Grand Bend, achi- elently shot himself in the hip while cleaning a revolver on Sunday. Med- ical attention was secured immediate- ly, and although Mr. Ubelacker will be laid up for weeks, nothing serious is expected to develop. —John McKinnon, who gave his address as Broughdale, London, had his right ear completely severed when he was hurled through the windshield of a car in a motor accident near Dashwood on Monday. There were three other passengers in the car when it leaped into a deep ditch, but apart from a severe shaking up, they escaped injury. • —Master Harold Pugh, son of Mrs. Wilson, of Clinton, was holidaying in the country last week. During the course of the day he was riding one of the horses bareback. When they came to the farm gate the horse de- cided to go in while Harold made up his mind to forge straight ahead. The result of this misunderstanding was that Harold went over the horse's head and narrowly escaped serious injuries. He was very much shaken up and has still a sore shoulder; —Mr. Henry Perdue, for many years a resident of Goderich Town- ship, died in St. Joseph's Hospital, London, on Monday night, August D4r REMEDY NO WAD TD PIANO RIIRdSI.

Here after the death of her parents she resided with her brother, Samuel, caring for his young Bop Charlie, whose mother died at the time of his birth. ,lifter the death of her brother ten years ago, she and Charlie moved to the village where she has since resided. Miss Scott has been cared for during her long illness by Mrs. McBrien. The funeral took place on Wednes- day afternoon to Ball's cemetery. —The many friends of Mr. Jame Sims, of Blyth, will be grieved to know that Mrs. Sime died in Londo early Wednesday morning of last week. Mrs. Sims has been very ill for same time now, and her friends have been most anxious. The doc- tors claim the contributing cause of her fatal sickness was a bad attack of flu, from which she suffered las winter. Mrs. Sims was taken to Lon don about two weeks ago but was not strong enough to undergo an operation.. Mrs. Sims is a step- daughter of Mrs, Grahame, of Clin- ton, two of her brothers, Goldie Gra- hame and John Grahame, are farmers in Stanley Township about six miles from Clinton. Two daughters, Caro- line,' of the Toronto teaching staff, and Mrs. Lorne Dale, of Wingham survive. -.The London Advertiser says: Up in Goderich there is apparently some dissatisfaction, according to a visitor in London to -day, with one of the appointments made by, the Drury Government. The present deputy game warden of the district, Oliver Goldthorpe, does not even live in the country in which he acts. Mr• Gold. thorpe, who is chauffeur to Mrs. Stot, of Iroquois Avenue, Detroit, lives in the American city, and it seems the good people of Goderich are a little peeved to find that an official of the province should live in the States and at ,the same time act in his official capacity as deputy game warden. The visitor from Goderich hinted at some action being taken to effect a change in the present rate of affairs. Poultry .

But corn and.corn pro - n i ducts alone make a better feed for cattle than wheat and wheat products alone. It is pointed out, too, that It is not necessary to grind corn as a hog feed, while ,wheat should be coarsely ground 'or crushed. Wheat, according to experiments made in Nebraska, has proved 5 per cent,more efficient than corn for fattening steers when fed with alfalfa hay, a little prairie hay, and straw, 'bran and linseed meal. With Wheat at its present price, it is declared to be a desirable feed for poultry,_ both as 'a whole grain in scratch mixtures and in ground form mixed with mash. Fed alone, how- ever, it does not give the best results, but should be mixed with corn. Wheat may take the place of corn in rations for dairy cows. It is figured that a bushel of wheat ie about equal in feeding value to a bushel of corn, so that in cases where the farm value of corn is. only slightly less than that of wheat and where the farmer has surplus wheat bet does not have corn it may pay him to, feed wheat, since he will save haulage. Wheat for horses should be ground or preferab- ly rolled, and must be mixed With oth- er feeds because of its sticky qualities which are brought about in mastica- tion, and also because if fed alone, it may cause digestive troubles. On the practicability of using wheat as a hog' feed, the department says that 8 per cent. less grain is required in the case of wheat, hut that with corn at 70 cents a bushel and wheat at 79 cents, gains can he made with corn and tankage at 12 to 15 cents leas per hundred pounds than with wheat and tankage. In a general way, it is held that the farmer might be advised to feed wheat or corn ac- cording to whichever can be fed at the least cost per pound. • .

This henna -ion should include: •Seeing that the tires are inflated to the pre- scribed pressure; inspecting the steer- ing apparatus to make sure that all connections are tight; testing the bat- tery and filling it with water. Having made sure that Ms ma- chine is in perfect condition, the driv- er can devote his whole energy to driving rather than worrying about a missing cylinder, or a squeak in the wheels. Most drivers who are just begin- ning to drive are familiar with the main points in starting the car. They understand that, after the motor is started, the gear shaft shond be put into first speed, and the clutch slowly engaged While the accelerator is de- pressed; that after the car has gained some momentum the clutch should be disengaged again and the gear shift lever put into the next higher speed; after which the clutch is slowly en- gaged while depressing upon the ac- celerator again. Ford drivers, of course, engage and disenge the clutch in the same operation, to shift gears. Many drivers, however, do not real- ize the importance of two rules in starting their motor. First; the spark should be retarded. If this is not done, the motor is very apt to back- fire and some part of the starter or the starter's connection to the motor itself will sooner or later break. In machines which are not equipped with a starter it is, of course, exceedingly dangerous to try to crank by hand un- less the spark is retarded. The second rule for starting the motor, which some drivers do not practice, is to have the clutch dis- engaged when stepping on the start- ing connection.. By doing this a great load is taken off the 'battery, as it does not have to turn over the trans- mission gears' unnecessarily. Many drivers who.. have difficulty in starting their motors in cold weather would have better success if, before turning on the switch, they would turn the motor over sever times with the air choked, and then suddenly turn on the switch. By doing this they have put an exceedingly rich mixture of gas into their cylinders, which is ready to explode as soon as the faintest spark passes through the spark plugs. As in starting the motor, there are also one or two points in stopping which some drivers do not practice. A few years ago nearly all drivers were taught to throw out the clutch before applying the brake. The best practice to -day, however, is to keep the clutch engaged until the car has slowed down to about five miles an hour. To do this successfully it is of course, necessary to have the throttle so adjusted where it connects with the carburetor that enough gas- oline is fed into the carburetor to keep the motor running idle. Having mastered the principles of stopping and starting the car, the good driver should be well informed upon the proper method of steering it, both on city streets and country roads. Unfortunately, the great ma- jority of drivers still do not realize the importance of closely following ' approved rules of traffic. The "Nico-Steerer" remembers that the rear wheels do not "track" b —The Clinton News -Record of last week contained the followingi "His Majesty the King has been gracious- ly pleased to authorize the issue of the 1914-15 Star which I am directed, by the Honorable Minister of Militia and Defence, to convey to you here- with." C. G. Ashton, Major-Genera•1, Adjutant General, Canadian Militia. This precious document together with a solid gold cross suspended on the well known Mons ribbon `vas found—where can you imagine?— folded up and forgotten in the pocket of an old khaki coat, tucked away among the stores of our old battal- ion. How could anyone so callously forget one of the greatest honors his country bestows. The bravery and the courage which deserved that cross, however, forbids all criticism. To those who found the star it was so glorious, yet so sad. —There passed away at the Wes- ton Hospital, on August 10th, 1923, John Eldon Howald, aged 29 years, 4 months and 23 days. The late Mr. Howald was well and favorably known by nearly all in the vicinity of Zurich, having been born on the 14th Concession, Hay Township, and lived practically all his life there until a few years ago when he left for Strat- ford, where he followed the barber- ing occupation, but the dreaded con- sumption ravages continually kept taking a stronger hold on him. Last year he took a trip to Florida, but this did not improve his health any. Upon returning he was soon taken to the Gravenhurst Institution, where he remained, getting gradually weak- er, until he was removed to Weston were he passed peacefully to sleep. the remains then being taken to his brother, Mr. Fred Howald, at St. Marys, from where the funeral took place. VALUE OF WHEAT AS FEED FOR STOCK COMPARED WITH THAT OF CORN. In view of the short visible supply of corn in the United States, which on July 1st was the lowest in ten years, and of the possibility of low wheat prices, the Bureau of Animal Industry has studied the relative values of wheat and corn so as to provide information for stock raisers who might wish to benefit by using wheat as feed. Price ratios have been determined so that the stock- man may make up his mind from - this information when the relation of prices of these two grains make it comparatively profitable to feed wheat to stock. Thus for example, it is figured that when corn is 75 cents a bushel on the farm, 80 -cent wheat can be fed profitably to all animals, in- clpding poultry; 84 -cent wheat to cattle and hogs, but not to sheep and poultry; while 92 -cert wheat is profitable for beef cattle only. How- ever, it must be kept in mind that the cost of grinding or crashing has not been considered. A table show- ing the relative prices et which wheat can be used as feed ha -a been prepared, covering the entire range of prices alt which these grains aro likely to sell in the near future. It is as follows: Corn nrices per hu.ahel (56 pounds of shelled corn) and equivalent wheat prices per bushel (60 poundal baser( on their relative feeding value fur several kinds of farm animals - Percentage 'relation of wheat to corn in feeding value:--- PLEASANTRIES alue:--- Chs'tibiiV!%rlYrnii.�ix�"ln.'A' PLEASAN'I'RIES According to an oculist, weeping adds to the beauty of the eyes.

P. M. Ryves, after a ten-year vigil through the telescope, reports that some of the markings on Mars have changed. That valuable bit of infor- mation just about puts P.

In response to a request for some advance dope on how to conduct a wiener roast, the genius who knows all about such things, says: "Every- thing should be informal and rompy." When things get rompy, we suppose, that's the cue for the life of the party to empty the mustard pot in his neighbor's howler or drop a siz- zling dog into the lap of his af- fianced. PROPER DRIVING OF AUTOMO- BILE MORE THAN MATTER OF STEERING eb There are not a few persons who think that because they can steer a car more or less successfully and can start and stop fairly well under fav- orable conditions they are quite cap- able of driving en automobile any- where and at any time. That such drivers escape being mixed up in an accident is more good luck than good judgment. • I or the benefit of such persons they are reminded tl4t every day, before starting nut, the good driver should make sure that he has the proper amount of nil in his crank the frortit wheels in tgrignO• Iowa ample, but not top mgcN XVI* way fot'• the rear ,. wheels to curbs, posts, guards, • traria is eigipg'mi,; building cornett, etc. As a rule, it will be - found ,u time and trouble saved to ' 'turn' about" by driving around the badk, rather than jamming traffic 'by turning in the street.
