DURHAM CHRONICLE The death of Mr. M. K. Richard- snn on Saturday last, at his home in Flesherton, leaxes a Vacancy in the heart and mind of the writer that can never be filled. He was a true friend for over thirty years, and we never met a man in whom we had more confidence. He Was a broad-minded man, and had a large heart, full of charity to all, full of love for his friends, and full of sympathy for all in distress. No man knows the real goodness of the late Mr. Richardson. No man knows the many kind actions of his life. When he did a kindness, he said nothing about it, and any pub- licity it ever received came fromI outside sources. He was not aman of show and ostentation. He was an exceedingly well-read man, posâ€" sessed a wonderful memory, had most graphir powers of descrip- tion, was an entertaining speaker, and his whole life was devoted to doing good. Flesherton and the whole community have lost a trluy great man in the removal of Mr. Richardson. Friend after friend deâ€" parts, and in the past few months, the hand of death has removed two of our most. loved associates of the past thirty years, and our heart goes out in true sympathy to the sorrowing members of the bereaved family. REV. WHALBY HEADS THE LIST. Rev. Mr. Whaley donated $100 to; the Military Y. M. C. A.. and heads the list in the campaign. The .citi- zens generally, did well, and we have no doubt that all who acted the noble part will feel the better for doing so. Some who gave a dollar or two made just as much sacrifice as some who contributed larger sums. We think we can't afford to give. but what about the boys at~ the front? They can’t af- ford to lose. a leg or an arm. and yet they take the risk. Is it fair that we should neglect them"? Thursday, November 4'", 1917. Friend after riend departs. Who hath not lost a friend? There is no union here of hea That finds not here an end. IF The council at the meeting ml Monday night failed to vote the patriotic grant that was expected by many citizens. For the years 191:3 and 1916. grants of 3500 were made, and we hepe to see a similar or even larger grant before the close of 1917. We do not believe the council is opposed to such a grant for patriotic purposes, and if approached by a fair represent.=i--il tion of citizens. they will 'gnin put themselves on record. WeE have no desire to burden the rate- payers. but we are in the fight a- guinst our will. and to make a suc- cess of it. we must help to furnish the sinews of war. The giving spirit of the past two weeks in responding to the calls of the Red Cross and the Y. M. C. A., shows the spirit. of the people generally. They are still willing to do a little better. and the council. to respond to their will. should know some- thing of the general feeling of the ratepayers. There’s one thing sure-if we don‘t come across, the: Germans will. W IRWIN, Editor and Proprietor That was what.

"For over two years I was sick and miserable. I suffered from constant Headaches, and had Palpitation of the Heart so badly that I feared I would die. There seemed to be a lump in my stomach and the Constipation .was dreadful. I suffered from Pain in. the Back and Kidney Disease. I was treated by a physician for a. year and a half and he did me no good at all. I tried “ Fruit-a-tives ” as a last resort. After using three. boxes, I was greatly improved and twelve boxes nude me well. Now I can work all day and there bacon. for the soldiers, will find a considerable number of wholesome. substitutes. To save Wheat. flour, barley mayl be used for soup and barley flour! for thickening; corn meal for bread and cereal; oatmeal for cereal and eat muffins. Potatoes may be used in a variety of .appetizing dishes-â€" and when they are served bread may sometimes be omitted from the meal. At present the price of corn meal is high. but the new crop in the United States is very large and will be. coming on the market soon. The question of price has to be carefully considered by the great majority of people. but those who are no Headaches, no Palpitation, no Heart Trouble, no Constipation, no Pain or Kidney Trouble and [feel lit: a new beingâ€"and it was “Fruit-a-tiva” that gave me back my health”.

For meat. Iish is a peculiarly suitable substitute because of the variety available and the abundant scmrces of supply in the Dominion. Beans have nearly the same food values as meat.

Do It TODAY HE MILITARY SERVICE ACT is passed; the Procla- mation issued October 13th. It is now the bounden duty of every man in Class One to report for service or claim exemption. This includes all bachelors and widowers without children (not otherwise excepted) who were 20 years old on the 13th October, 1917, and whose 34th birthday did not occur before January lst, 1917. Go to your Post Office and ask for the form for reporting for service or for claiming exemption. The form contains clear instructions for filling in. Do this not later than NOVEMBER 10th. With so many thousands of reports and claims to be dealt with, the rush of Class One Men will grow heavier day by day. You will waste less of your time and serve your own best interests if you avoid the inevitable rush on the last days. The law is being enforced with the Government and the PeOpie firmly behind it. Obey the law. Do it today. Brandram’s Genuine 8.8. White Lead is sold in 12%, 25, 50 and 100 lb. hour and in kegs of 200, 306 and 500 lbs. BeWare of the Last Minute Rush 77w Military L. Smullman.
