VOL. 60.â€"-NO. 3158 There was a pleasant gathering heid in the Baptist church last Friday evening, the occasion being the congregational welcome extend- ed the new pastor, Rev. Mr. Spencer by the members of the congregation. The afiair commenced with an ex- cellent supper served by the ladies, and which was very much enjoyed by all. Following the supper the company adjourned to the auditor- ium where a programme was com- menced. Rev. Mr. Richards of Hanover gave testimony to the worth of the new incumbent, who had been a former pastor of the speaker and a man‘wh-om he held in high regard. Short addresses were also delivered by the local clergy, Rev. Armstrong} of the Presbyterian congregation, Rev. Fiddes of Queen Streetchurch, Rev. Hayes of the Anglican church, and Rev.

Mr. Spencer replied suitably to all and expressed in no uncertain terms his gratification at the apparent goodwill among the various churches of the town.

Garage to Get Their First Look at “The Mystery Car." “No product ever placed upon the market was everawaited with such eager interest as the new Ford car,” said Mr. George Smith, who introduced locally the first model of the new car on December 17. _ “It was generally conceded that‘ the public was keyed up to a high state of expectancy but from the number of visitors who came to our showrooms, we know that public interest exceeded even our? expectations. It. was a‘ regular in- vasion and our energies are being tasked to answer all the Questions being asked about the new car. We learn from the Ford Motor Company of Canada, Limited, that a similar icondition exists throughout the Do- zmimon. “The interest is a reflection of public confidence in Ford products. Ever since they began business in 1904 the Ford Motor Company of Canada“ has held in mind the single? objective of building a car of the highest quality to sell at the lowest price compatible with quality and infinitely accurate workmanship. The result has been a car of super- ior endurance, a cap that won and Lheld public confidence. The public realized that they "could expect these qualities and a lot more in the new product and those who have seen the car know that their expec- tatglons have been more than justi- le . Mr. Smith said that while the new car satisfies every requirement in appearance it is not until it has been driven that the full measure of its merit is realized. Its perform- ance is far beyond anything ever available in the light car field. barge display cards illustrating the six models Tudor, Fordor, Coupe, Sport Coupe, Phaeton and Road- ster are shown and these models will go on exhibit just as soon as‘ they are ayailable from the factory. ____ _ :._L-_.A~‘At~] :n WW a”, .....--_~-- , _ “We have had many interested in- quiries about the new truck which we hope soon to have on display," he said. “It is as far in advance in design and performance as is the new‘car.” INSPECTOR SUICIDED AT THORNBURY J.

Mr. Hugh Rose, who has been in Philadelphia for the past few months, returned to town this week and will spend a few weeks in and around the sacred points of interest in the”town of his birth before re- turning to his home in the land of Uncle Sam. He walked intn our sanctum the other day and in the course of his conversation remarked that he had written to the famous inventor, Thomas A. Edison about a solvent for uric acid that scientist had located some years ago and inquir- ing how it worked. Mr. Edison‘s secretary answered his letter and said: ' “In reply to your inquiry as to a [remedy for rheumatism in the njoints, would say that. in experi- menting with the electric light some forty years ago Mr. Eidson had oc- casion to use uric acid and started a campaign tn find a sul\'«"!il for it. In this he succeeded. The name of the chemical is: Tell-arthyiuznmon- ium hydroxide. “The account of these nxperi- ments was published and many doc- tors used if: It has to be imported from abroad. Mr. lidimm can re- member the name of only one phyâ€" sician who used it. Dr. Peterson of New York. The chmnieal does not cure, but its solvent action on the razor edge crystals in the joints re- 1lieves pain.” The chief dill'iculty with this sol- vent. Mr. Rose told us was that, though he had tried in many citieS, he could not secure a supply of Tetraethylammonium hydroxide. and he could not even find where it could be procured.
