There are sev- eral kinds of anaemia, such as that which follows uiKin a haemorrhage, or the anaemic which usually devel- ops as a part of such chronic diseases as tuberculosis, cancer, malaria and lead poisoning. Then there are the anaemias which miles away he would fill up his "little brown jug" from the familiar source and carry it with him that he might be refreshed as he paused from his labors. Often have I too, when in some other place, longed for a spark- ling glass of this native beverage.

Someone keeps reminding me that it is better than no water at all, that I should be thankful for any water, and so on; basin by the cistern pump. And all this brings to mind a meeting of farmers where we were choosing sub- jects for an impending debate. One neighbor, with a flash of that rare rustic wit, suggested the subject, "Re- solved that hard water is harder than soft water." Just lot him wash with it for a while! The proof of the water is in the w-ashing, or is it in the drink- iiiu? The old phillosophers seeking the rudiments of science were fond of div- iding everything into three "elements" To men who knew the thirst of des- erts or the wash of the seas, "water" iiuist find a place with "earth" and "fire." Later scientists discovered it to be a compound and by the aid of electricity broke it down into its gas- eous components, even wrote it in symbol as "H20." Then they return- ed the gases to water which they froze, thawed, weighed and even drank when nothing stronger offered. It was Peter McArthur on his death-bed who wrote an eulogy of good water. "If our friends, the prohi- bitionists, will teach the children^ and will learn themselves," wrote the sage in a final burst of his humor- ous philosophy, "how delicious pure water is, and to avoid messy substi- tute-j. they will not only help to bring! about a water-drinking world, but , KUCK ivllLLb The Inaugural meeting of the Os- prey Municipal Council was held at Maxwell on Monday, January 13.

Much better the granite in these cells to carry oxygen, then the body tissues are starved of the oxygen which they need. The red cells are manufactured by the red marrow at the ends of the long bon«s, ribs and vertebrae. Pernicious anaemia was, until recently almost always fatal. The red cells were so rapidly destroyed that the bono marrow could not meet the de- mand; this, in the end, meant death as the blood could not carry enough '^tygen to all the tissues to main- tain life. Liver contains something which brings back the bloo<I of pernicious anaemia patients to normal and so gives them back their health. No longer is the victim of pernicious anaemia doomed to die; health and strength are his through the con- tinued proper use of liver or Hver extract.

MAXWELL osis, or "green sickness'' of young girls, a form of anaemia, disappears with improved habits of living; other forms of anaemia respond to iron theapy.

CANADIAN FIRMS ADVERTISE MUST (Stratford Beacon- Herald) Anticipating action by the King Government in implementing its pro- mise to reduce tariffs, the Finan- cial Post takes certain Canadian firms to task for depending too much upon the Bennett emergency tariff and not making sufficient effort to e<lucate Canadian customers as to the value of their wares. It is pointed out that American firms have spent thousands of dollars in creating in- terest in their products among mer- chants and the general public. With a reduction in protective tariff, the goo<Is of Canadian manufacturers will be at a serious disadvantage and they "will have only themeslves to blame if they cannot meet reasonable com- petition from imported products." says the Post. It appears that many Canadian in- dustries have in the past got together to "save" the money usually expend- ed on merchandise and advertising, counting high tariffs an effective substitute. Such firms wfll have to do more in the way of develofMng their own market with the Canadian consumer. Canada must have a tar- iff, but it should never he depended upon ns the sole prop of any indus- try. And the moral of that is â€" "it pays to advertise." FEVERSHAM Miss A. Bemrose of .Maxwell visited with Mr. and Mrs. George Burk here last week. Mrs. George Short visited with her daughter, Mrs. E. Morrison of Sing- ham pton last week. •MV.

The Continuation school pupils and some of the other young people had a snowshoe hike on Monday evening out in the country and on their re- tuni were treated to lunch in the school by the teachers, and spent a while in a social way together. The Y. P. S. took the service in the ({<vspel Worker's church on Sunday, and Mr. George Armstrong of Plesh- erton was the special speaker. Mr. .\. Seeley of Maxwell is truck- ing logs from here to Rock Mills yet. Quite a cold spell of weather this last weke with the mercui-y hovering around zero. On January 15th the Y. P. S. met at the home of Mrs. Eby with 26 present. Tlhe meeting opened by singing hymn, ',l(ell me the Old, Old Story." after which the Lord's Prayer was repeated, the Roll Call was answered by a verse of Scripture.

Friday morning at 10.30 Inspector Pentland addressed a meeting in the school relative to "Oonsolidatod schools." He began his address by giving his personal ideas regardin/j the re-casting of the township of Artemesia from its present 13 school sections to 17 in number thus over- coming the long walks of so many children and giving all in the township a better chance for receiving an ed- ucation. He gave figures to show that with the grants received, the cost of education for the 17 sections ' would be less than the present 13 sec- I tions. Personally he preferred con- tinuation schools to consolidated schools, as the latter would mean the scrapping of every public school in I the township and suggested Eugenia, I Proton, Markdale, Priceville and Dur- I ham centres for continuation schij. with 2 high and 3 public school, ' teachers could take care of all the I children in the township and would 1 allow any child who so wished it, to : receive Honor Matriculations,, a privi- I lege barred from many of the child- I ren in the outlying districts. I For the whole of Ontario the cost j per pupil for cities was $83.80, for ! rural schools, $60.10, for consoli- \ dated $69.23 or an average of $68.82 i per each pupil for all centres for ed- jucation. The government would not I press any changes but would co-oper- ! ate whole-heartedly with any changes I that the township wanted. An op- portunity was given to ask questions at the close of the Inspector's talk. T^e Hall committee gave a very enjoyable euchre and dance Friday evening for the senior members of the community and the councillors. Progressive euchre was in play at (thirteen tables, the high awards go- ing to Mrs. B. Gibson and Reeve Dav- is. After lunch dancinjf was enjoyed Friday of this week the regMlar c'^ Will be held.

Tlie sale covers both the planing and chop- ping mill, water power, i-aw and man- ufactured stock and mill property. PECULIAR SKIING ACCIDENT Keith Hunter, son of Reeve and Mrs. W. H. Hunter, of Egremont was brought to town Tuesday evening to have the bone set in his right ann, which had been fractured shortly be- fore in a skiing accident at his home. Keith and the skiis and the dog got tangled up going down one of the hills on the farm with disastrous re- sults for the former. The dog, which follows the young lad all over, went out with him and in some manner when playing around and enjoying the sport with his young master, jumped on the end of the skiis, upsetting him, and fracturing his arm. â€" Durham Chronicle.
