t t^'EDNESDAY, DECEMBER, 28, l'j'?2 THE FLEvSHER'fON APVANCE Compulsory Grading FIVE YOrNG MEN tJIVEN SrSPRNOED SENTENCE HoK grading reKulations provided Vy the Dominiun Government under its Live Stock and Live Stock Products Act have heen i>rocl(iiined by the Lieutenant-(iovemor of Ontario as ef- fective in this province, and v.\u be put in operatiin immediately. Their effect is to rid grading of its somewhat optional feature of the i>ast and to make it compulsory, with rigid enforcement, in all sections of Ontar- io, in the future. Behind them is th« primary purpose of raising the standard of Ontario bacon, with a view to earning a Krealer share of markets, both domestic and overseas than now prevails. All hogs sold or offereil for sale at stockyards or such other points as may from time to time be designated by the federal authorities, hogs arriv- ing at abattoirs and hogs for export are subject to gradin!:. Only pure- "Bfed hogs exported for the improve- ment of stock and hog.s entered fot exhibition at foreign, starte or nation- f al expoHitsons are excepted. ft. Under the grading regulations, hogs ai-* divided jnto the following classes: sel'."ct baoon, l>acon, butchers,! heavies, extra heavies, lights and feeders, roughs and sows. Select bacon is entitled to a bonus of $1 pei ' hog over ((Uotation; butchers and lights are deducted fl per hog; heavies ure deducted $1.60 per hog, and extra heavies lose $1.50 per cwt. Magistrate Walker, ut Walkerton police court, passed suspended sent- ence on the five young men from (.ireenock townt^hip, who a week pre- vious had pleaded guilty to the theft of three ducks from a Culross town- ship farmer. The fowl liad been used for a feast which the young men are said to have had at a farm house in that vicinity. Each was also as- sessed the cost of the court as well. SHOIMAOK LN PROTON FUNDS The Prince of Wales says his pet ambition is to cut down his gold hand- â- icap. We're still waiting for Cupid to get busy and cut down his resiat- ani-e to taking himself- a bride. Seeking to recover ttivee thousand dollars' shortage which a provincial audit of the books of the late Robert D. Armstrong, Proton township treas urer for many years, has allegedly revealed, the Proton township council at a special meeting held at Dundalk decided to issue a writ against the late Mr. Armstrong's bondsmen, ont of whom is his brother, John Arm- strong. The late Mr. Armstrong, who pass- ed away last winter, had been treas- urer of the township for fifteen yeais. At hi.s death Mr. Lloyd Mc- Quarric, who has audited the., late treasurer's books, was offered the pos- ition of treasurer, but declined to take it, unless an audit was first held. A preliminary investigation led the council to decide to ask foi" a provin- cial audit and this was held this summer, with the result that a short- age amounting to about $3,000 is said to have been discovered. â€" Ex. Birth rate in Britain is at a new low level, so even the stork must be feeling the depression. I SPEND YOUR CHRISTMAS I CHEQUE Don't Get Excited Some of our readers are anxious that we should become boosters oi the C.C.F., the new Co-operative Commonwealth Federfct^on; !Whj»t is the rush? There i& going to. 'be no opportunity -to chapge tjic gove»"n- ment in time for Christmas and ttio chances are that the very ones who are so strong for a change just now would also be the first to advocate u change should the C.C.F. come, into power. We are frank to admit tl^at we shall bo surprised if, after the farmers of this lo-.-ality are more thoroughly ac(iuainted with the. aims and objects of the C.O.f,, they are as enthusiastic as sdnie of them appear to be at present. Are they going to gladly offer to increase their own taxation for the purpose of un- employment insurance for the factory worker? will they be in favor of a five day week and a six hour day for the factory worker, while they are still doing sixteen hours a day for seven days in the week? how will they relish state regulation of business, includinr their own, and government dictation of how much of their income they may use for themselves? These things, while not blared from the house-tops by the leaders of the new party, are undoubtedly a part of their progi-am and it is just as well for ali of us to acquaint ourselves with the aim, objects and incentives of a new political movement before giving our unreserved support to it. It is a fine thing to be a leader in any great movement and we are inclined to the opinion that those who art doing so much tall talking at the pre- sent time are at least slightly intox- icated by their own enthusiasm. Not one of them up to the present has de- monstrated any great ability as a statesman and until they show more leadership we shall reserve our decis- i6n as to their worthiness. â€" Burks Falls Arrow.

If there is one thing more than any other the importance of which is stressed in hog feeding, it is that grains alone are not enough to make good hogs, and that for the produc- tion of the select bacon type hog it is important that a balanced ration be fed. In many parts of Canada, particu- larly throughout the Prairie Provin- ces, there is an abundance of cheap grain feeds which, as they stand, are unmarketable, but when fed to live stock quite attractive prices can be realized. Where grains alone are fed the live stock product is seldom satis- factory and to get worthwhile results a protein supplement must Ije included to balance the ration. Skim milk or buttermilk in some form is the ideal protein supplement in hog feeding. These, however, are not always available, but because these are not available is no reason why other equally good forms of pro- tein supplement should not be used. A very fine type of pork can be pro- duced through feeding tankage a by- product of the packing industry. This provides an animal protein supple- ment ideal for hog feeding, and at the present time this can be obtained essentially at cost. Despite the many exaggerated atatements made concerning the ill result^ of delayed bowel elimination, or constipation, it can be accepted that regular bowel movement â€" at least once a day â€" is desirable. The process of digestion goes on automatically, and as long as it con- tinues normally, we are not aware of it. We are responsible however, for what we eat and for our habits of life. In general, constipation- is the result of faulty habits and caiT- lessness, and so the sufferer is, him- self, responsible for the condition. In most persons, constipation catises a feeling of depression and lassitude. Headache and loss of appetite are fairly common. Haemorrhoids and irritation of the intestines may re- sult. It takes time to overcome constipa- tion, but provided there is no abnor- mal condition which requires treat' ment, the condition can, in practically all cases, be overcome by attention to diet and the establishment of sys- tematic habits. It must be clearly understood that, as long as the re- liance is placed orT laxatives and enemas, the condition will ^ot be corrected. Laxatives and enemas should not be used unless they are ordered by the individual's physician as treatment, because they defeat their own purpose when used to deal with chronic constipation. The diet should be low in protein; fruits, vegetables and whole-grrain cereals should be used in abundance. iWater should be taken freely. A glass of hot or cold water on rising, in the forenoon, in the afternoon and In the evening, in addition to the fluids which are takeft.with the meals, is helpful in many Teases. Exercise in raoderijtisji isjreflu.ii:ed;__^ ^ The exp.'cise taken should be of a type which brings the abdominal muscles into play. The most common cause of constipa- tion is failure to pay attention to the impulse of defecate. Long-continuea neglect and delay in responding cause the impulse to be lost. Therefore, the most important point is to es- tablish a regular toilet habit. The taking of food stimulates the intestinal tract, so that a normal time for a bowel movement is after a meal. Such a movement once a day is likely sufficient. It is essential that the individual go to the toilet at' exactly the same hour every day, whether oi not there is a desire to do so, and this must be persisted in until the habit is firmly established. Not all cases of constipation can be dealt with in the same way. If the bowel is irritated, the use of un- cooked foods may make it worse. Such cases require treatment. The cases which do not require medical treatment can generally be corrected by attention to diet and exercise, and the formation of a regular habit. l^ »»»»»♦♦»»»#» 0»»»»ft»O»»«»««»»»»»O»O«»»»»O»«»'>»K-»»»ff»» Small Advts.
