The directors believe these to the primary societies were first es- | tablished au@l subsidized by the gov- | ernment and municipal grants. Those | whe were present saw the grand dis- | play of fancy horses and fancy turn- | outs, choice cattle of every breed, {sheep of the finest varieties, swine | of every pedigreed breed, the grand | poultry show, farm and garden pro- ducts, agricultural implements and | machinery, and last, but not least, the grand display of ladies' work and decorative art. The speed contests of fast horses Saturday afternoon furnished excel- lent entertainment, and' the events of the track furnished plenty of excite- ment. The free-for-all was an in- teresting contest, won by Gamey K,, with Zeno II and. Prince Deveras fighting for the lead every inch of the way The 2.30 class was won by Baby Kitchener, closely pressed by Bonard L., and Opera Star and Little Hector well up. While the above races were in progress special prices were being awarded for the best single turnouts, lady drivers, carriage horses, saddle horses and carriage colts in harness. The proceedings were greatly enliv- ened by the abundance of excellent music provided by the Boys' Band, of Smith's Falls, and the Bugle Band of the 156th Battalion, Barriefield, who came on Thursday, accompanied by Capt. Hagar. Both bands pro- duced remarkably fine music, elicit- ing hearty applause and many com- mendory remarks, he merry-go- round man was not there, to the great disappointment of the kiddies, but the larger children. took much pleasure in the Aunt Sallies, and when the fair was quite over a crowd was still there. Walter Han- ton had charge of the refreshment booth, and did a thriving business. Most noteworthy was the absence of | he fakirs and games of chance. The directors and managing com- mittee have much need to be proud of the hearty co-operation of the citizens of Frankville and the sur- raunding district, who take Such a personal interest in the fall exhibit by boosting it at every possible op- partunity, entering exhibits and help- ing to swell the attendance. The work of the officials has thus been made easier and the exhibition has grown and flourished under the en- couraging influence of a multitude of | friends, In every class the entries and ex- hibits were superior to any previous year, except in the grain, roots and vegetables, 'Among those who ex- | hibited horses were: Enos' Soper, We IT'S YOUR LIVER! for this season and you'll choose one of the crea- tions of | FASHION CRAFT for they are creations in every sense of the word.

Frankville fair-was held on Thurs-| day, Friday and Saturday of this weék, Sept. 28th, 28th and 30th. By ly interest was shown in every quart er of the village and grounds and] countryside, Active officers and directors filed into place in their usual business-like manner. Helpful lady directors arranged the work in the hall, where a good exhibit of needlework and art was shown, while in the rooms below were shown a good display of vegetables, roots, flowers and home-made cooking. The object the officers. and direct- ors of Frankville fair holdin view is to promote interest in agriculture, horticulture and live stock improve- ment and to mete justice to its ex- hibitors in those lines. Their object is having its effect up- on the countryside, as shown by the increase in the entries from year to year in all classes. Owing to a dis- agreeable downfall of rain on Fri- day, the fair was held over till Sat- urday, when the weather man was good to the people at Frankville, and the sun shone in all its glory and the grounds filled up with anxious visit- ors, eager again to see Frankville fair the meeting of friends and neigh-4 bors, hastening, to the centre ring to take up a stand so as to be able to take in all that is going on at once-- judging of horses and children's races, etc., while tiie bigger sports go on around the track. There was the continual rush to the exhibition hall, where the eyes could revel in needlework and art; then a run over downstairs to see the roots and vegetables and home-made cooking and flowers, and many were the exclamations over the good dis- play of potatoes so many said: "The best I have seen this year." Then came a visit to the cattle sheds and poultry houses, where a good display of Deth were shown. What attracted my attegtion mostly in the poultry house-was$ an exhibit of lovely white Silkies. A A subject which interested me ve: mutch came wp on the grounds Satur day afternoon with a couple of my friends. "Why is there so much money spent in prizes on horses and cattle and so little on the ladies' work?" One of my. friends argued that the directors gave the most money to the most useful things, and those were the horses and cattle, and, further, that very few men would at- tend a fair if the live stock were not exhibited. 'While my other friend {argued that men had no idea | much time and monéy were spent on this needlecraft and how interested From early Thursday morning a live-|. how ba | and A scene from "A Pair of Queens," the funniest play of the season. matinee and night. on The day passed over and pleasantly, and by 5 p.m e busi- and amusements were brought to a close and friends dispersed with pleasant memories of another good day on the old fair grounds.

Drink before break; fast, a glass of real hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it. This will flush the poisons and toxins from stomach, liver, kid- neys and bowels and cleanse, sweet- en and purify the entire alimentary tract. Do youf inside bathing im- mediately upon arising in the morn- ing to wash out of the system all the previous day's poisonous waste, gases and sour bile before putting more food into the stomach. To feel like young folks feel; like you felt before your' blood, nerves and muscles became loaded with body impurities, get from your phar- macist a quarter pound of limestone phosphate which is inexpensive and almost tasteless, except for a sourish twinge which is not unpleasant. Just as soap and hot water act on the skin, cleansing, sweetening and freshening, so hot water and lime-\ stone phosphate act on the stomach DAVIES' THANKSGIVING SPECIALS Prime Ribs Beef 2lc Porterhouse Roast - 27c¢ Sirloin Roast 24c Mince Meat ............. 10c to 12}e OYSTERS Lettuce Parsley Celery fhe Wm.Davies'Co.Ltd.Phone 597 liver, kidneys and bowels.
