The ends sought are the allaying of the feverish condition, the relief of the muscular soreness and the keep- ing of the system open to carry off the systemic poisons generated by the cold. In Grip-Fix, which can be obtained at any drug store, will be found in capsule form just these ingredients, viz.: Aspirin, Phénacetine, Quinine, Salol, Caffein, Citrate, Cascara and Camphor Monobromate. The distri- elon have printed the full formula on each box and any person can sub- mit the remedy to their family physi- clan if desired. Grip-Fix acts with remarkable mptness. Even a bad cold is re- lieved in a night, while it is but rarely that grippe is not conquered in 36 hours. Get a box to-day and have it in the house for emergencies.

He attempted to con |tinue, but broke down, his vocal chords refusing to utter the words he would have said. Then, after a short pause, his coun- sel, R. L. Brackin, asked gently: "And then, what?" "And then I pulled the trigger." The words were spoken in a whis: per, as though the minister himself | would have deadened hi's ears against them. | ~- { Two Hours On Stand. i Mr. Spracklin was on the stand for two hours when court adjourned at [9.30 p.m. His evidence throughout was much the same as that which he gave at the coroner's inquest nearly three months ago, the only varia- tion: being that, whereas at the in- quest he declared he hesitated before shooting, last night he simply stated | that he "looked at Trumble and pull- ed the trigger." At the conclusion of Mr. Sprack- lin's evidence, Mrs. Beverley Trumble | was called by the prosecution in re- buttal. One witness, Jack Bannan, had stated during the afternoon that after the shooting he had seen a re- volver in Mrs. Trumble's hand. This evidence Mrs. Trumble indignantly contradicted, The defense alleged that Mrs. Trumble had taken charge of the weapon, Mrs. Trumble de- clared: "If T had a gun that night there would have been another murder." Declared Mrs. Trumble Lied. Windsor, Feb. 24.--Mr. Brackin called the attention of the jury to the threats which Trumble had made as to what he would do to Spracklin. He pointed out that accordifg to the gvi- dence, Trumble, ow"the the shooting, after meeting". Spracklin outside the hotel, ran into his living quarters after locking the dvor. In order to convict Spracklin, said the lawyer, it would be necessary to dis- believe the evidence of five men, two of whom were friends of Trumble and to accept the werd of Mrs. Trumble. He asked if it was to be assumed 'that Trumble met his wife and spent ten minutes filling the bottle when he knew his arch-enemy was outside. "Or are we to assume," said the law- yer, "that he rushed to his own room to get his gun?" Mr. Brackin declared that two men had testified yesterday to the effect that Trumble went and got his gun. "Yesterday", said the lawyer, "Mrs. Trumble kissed that sacred book and swore to tell the whole truth and no- thing but the truth. She stood there and she lied and lied and lied. But you could see light when she called | Bannan a liar and denied the evid- ence of her husband's friends, Des- lippe and Morton, and said they were deserting her in her hour of heed. All these facts were beacons to guide the jury to their verdict, de- clared Mr. Bracklin concluding his remarks.

Inverary, Feb. 24.--On Monday. February 20th, a number of the friends of the Latimer Methodist church gathered at the home of George Shepherd for a farewell so- cial gathering. Games were in- dulged in for some time. At 10 o'clock, Rev. R. Calvert, B.D, took charge and called Earl Shepherd forward. George Leatherland read an address, 'expressing regret over his coming departure and speaking of his valued setvice as a church of- ficial and in the Sunday school. The address was signed by R. Calvert, pastor, G. Leatherland, Sunday school superintendent, and H. Dar- ling, church steward. Miss Zella Darling made the presentation of a club, bag. Mr. Shepherd feelingly replied. After a few words of re- gret from the pastor of the church all joined hands and sang "Auld Lang Syne." Refreshments were then enjoyed. Earl Shepherd was a steward of the Latimer Methodist church, of which his parents, Mr. and Mrs George Shepherd, were also mem- bers, and the family will be very much missed in the neighborhood. They are moving to a farm in the township of Pittsburg. This neighborhood was very much moved on hearing of the death of Mrs. Bert Geraldi in the Kingston General Hospital. She was very popular when her home was at In- verary. Marsh Cochran has been kept busy sawing wood.
