"Looking over the books of some of our own failures you will find people's names who are well able to pay. You. hava litte idea how the merchant is imposed upon by well-to-do people, many through carelessness or indifference. The accounts on merchants' books that are uncollectable would astound: you. -Then the part-paid accounts, leaving balances amounting to around a hundred thousand in our fair city lying idle, except perhaps making interest for those holding back such balances. "There are a lot of women run- ning accounts at different stores and when their husbands become aware of it, well, there is a row and the merchant as a rule gets a lot of Wor- cestershire and loses their trade. "The trouble is the merchants do not get 30, 60 and 90 days as for- merly, and on this account they have ances left or bust, Merchants con- sider goods on shelves cash and peo- ple who buy on credit should recog- nize the fact and hand back the same promptly. Merchants are not making a living profit, there is so much competition crowding in from foreign parts." At 80 Years of Age Was Troubled With Shortness of Breath Palpitation of the Heart And Fainting Spells Mrs. M. O'Connor, Whitestone, Ont., writes: --"I have been troubled, most of my life, with shortness of breath, palpitation of the heart and fainting spells. I was advised by a friend to try Milburn's Heart and Nerve Pills, which I did, and at once found relief, and I have never had a really bad spell since. \ I.am 80 years of age and always keep them in the house, and when I feel any symptoms of my old trouble coming on all I have to do is to take a few doses. With the help of your Pills I expect to see many years, yet. I always recommend them to any ohe who is suffering from heart trouble." Milburn's Heart and Nerve Pills are 50c. a box at all dealers, or mailed direct on receipt of price, by The T. Milburn Co., Limited, Toronto, Ont. Simple glycerine, buckthorn bark, etc, as mixed in Adlerika relieves any case gas on the stomach in TEN minutes. Most medicines act only on lower bowel but Adierika acts on BOTH upper and lower bowel and brings out all gasses and poisons. Brings out matter never ou you thought from | | merely ill-tempered, crotchy and irri- | | table. | The peevishness for which women | [and girls are often blamed is not their fault--it is their misfortune. | Thelr nerves are "all on edge." The {least shock, a sudden noise, or even being spoken to unawares causes real | suffering, and no one ought to be sur- prised if hasty words are the result. But this does not mean bad temper; it means starved, exhausted nerves. Headaches, low spirits, poor appe- tite, weariness and lack of energy fol- low nerve exhaustion, and relief is easy to obtain. What the starved nerves need is richer, better blood, and this can be obtained through a fair use of Dr. Willlams' Pink Pills. By their blood enriching qualities these pills do wonders; nervous men and women become calm, steady and energetic under their influence. New blood is what does the work. To ob- tain it give Dr. Williams' Pink Pills a fair trial. You can get these pills through any dealer in medicine, or by mail at 50 cents a box from The Dr. Wil- liams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. GANANOQUE May 29.--Mrs. H. J. Daly, To- ronto, who has been spending a few days with Miss Loretta O'Connor at her bungalow on the St. Lawrence, returned home on Tuesday. The late Peter Pelow, who funeral took place yesterday, left surviving 106 direct descendents of which ten were his children, forty-eight grand- children and forty-eight great-grand- children. His wife also survives. Miss Margaret Edwards has re- turned from Toronto University for the holidays. Mrs. William Lloyd returned yes- terday to Winchester after spending a few days in town. L. 8. Barr, Bob Tulloch,. W. G. Rogers and Geo. K. Taylor, motor- ed to Ottawa yesterday for the races. The ladies of the North Ward held a meeting in the Lyceum Tuesday evening in connection with the big parade in Old Home Week, and if they carry out their plans the other two wards will have to step lively to compete with them. Mrs. Richard Johnston is convener for the North ward. There will be another meeting within the next few days to further their plans, notice of which will be given, and it is hoped that everyone interested in the success of the North ward's turn-out will be at the meet- ing. There are still invitations to go out for Old Home Week and Linklat- er Day, and anyone knowing of old residents of the town or pupils of Mr. Linklate: who have not yet had an invitation will confer a great favor it they will communicate with Miss Mabel Carpenter, secretary of Link- later Day, or Miss Maude Green, becretary of Old Home Week in this connection. It is the desire that no one will be left out, and the list was made as complete as possible and a great deal of pains taken to make it so; however, when thousands are involved it is not an easy task and those who have an invitation due dress or the address of any of their friends whom they know did not get one. This is going to be the biggest event Gananoque has ever known and no former Gananoquean can af- ford to miss it and all the fun it will afford. Mrs. W. J. O'Brien, Alexandria Bay, was in town yesterday for the funeral of her father Mr. Peter Pe- low. Mr. and Mrs. James BE.

Charles Foster, Elmsley, Ont., Has a Remarkable Record, In a recent issue of the Montreal Herald appeared an article relative to the champion wood chopper of the United ates, Edward Moot, of Weathersfleld, Vermont, who on a wager chopped five. cords of wood in a day from sunrise to sunset. The bet was that this feat could be performed between sunrise and sun- Back to tonewall S ---- duce set, but the chopper had an hour and a half to the good, and besides had an eighth of a cord over the requir- ed quantity and had some wood split and piled besides. This performance is nothing as compared with the official record of a noted wood-chopped, viz.,, Charles Foster, of Elmsley, Ont. Away back in the days when Mr. Foster was a great deal younger than he is to-day, he had a record as a chopper which none could ever approach, and to- day there are men living who will verify, on oath if necessary, as to some of the work performed by that man. For instance, Henry Andison, Perth, 1s one who is prepared to vouch for the following, as is also the performer and others as well: Mr. Foster, when cutting wood for Mr. Andison, walked a mile to and from the bush, and in five and one- half days between sunrise and sun set, in the last days of December, cut split and piles thirty cords of beech and maple. This is by far a greater feat than Moot's. Another time Mr. Fester cut at the farm of Mr. James Manion, fourteen cords of elm in two days, splitting but not piling it. Mr. Foster, though not an old man, is now beyond the years when such a performance could be expected of him, but in addition to the above re- cords many farmers and others in this district have vivid recollections of the great work performed by Mr. Foster in the bush twenty or twenty- five years ago. Mr. Foster also chop- - ped, split and piled seven cords of elm from three trees in one day, for Walter Cunningham, of North Elmse ley.
