He was buried at Peterboro on Friday of last week, Mr. Sims bought the bakery from Mr, White and ran it for about a year.

TORONTO MAN SPEAKS HIGHLY OF DRECO Mr. Harry Hipkiss finds relief in Dreco when other medicines fail. Now has splendid appetite. "My stomach caused all sorts of trouble," says Mr. Hipkiss, of 2090 Dundas St., West Toronto. My food wouldn't digest and everything seem- ed to sour. My liver was sluggish and I would get bilious and have diz zy spells. My joints ached with pain from rheumatism. My bowels never acted regularly, and I didn't sleep well at night. My appetite was very poor, but now I can eat almost any- thing without suffering afterwards. I am certainly glad to hear of Dreco, for it has gone away with my trouble. It seemed to hit the spot when every- thing else failed." Sluggish action of the organs can be charged with: causing suffering such as Mr, Hipkiss describes. Poor digestion causes a weakness of the other organs and speedily takes a toll on the general health. Dreco is made from roots, herbs, bark and leaves which tone up these vital organs. It contains no mercury, potash or habit forming drugs, Dreco is being specially introduced in Port Perry by P. G. Morrison, and is sold by a good druggist everywhere. mein (ees MUNICIPAL ECONOMY (?) (Owen Sound Sun-Times) Streetsville, Ont., carries the re- cord so far for municipal economy. One man during 1924 will serve as road overseer, constable, sanitary inspector, bread inspector, noxious weed inspector and pound-kesper, for $600. Editor's Note How long will it take the public to learn that there is no real economy in this stupid practice? One man cannot do everything well. The rate- payers pay the extra cost in other ways.
