The municipality drained Its trea- sury to such an extent that it has not yet been able to pay salaries or pen- sions for June, and those not depend- ent on the municipal budget are not much better off, as the greater part of thel rpersonal "luxury allowance" went Into subscriptions collected for the celebration.

RETAIN YOUR VIGOR This Can Only be Done by Keep- ing the Blood Rich and Red. If you would regain your vigor and ambition, keep your blood and nerves in good condition. Anaemia, or thin blood lowers the vitality, starves tho nerves and causes a general run-down condition. When the blood Is thin the skin loses its color, the shoulders droop and weight Is lost. Tho victim of anaemia loses appetite, suffers from Indigestion, headaches and sleep- lessness, and is nervous and exhaust- ed after slight exertion. If you have any of these symptoms do not delay but begin treatment now with Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and you will be gratified with the prompt Improve- ment In your condition. Among the thousands who have found new health through the use of this medicine is Mrs. Herbert Nagle, Ludlow, N.B., who says: â€" ^'I had not been feeling well for some time and was gradually growing weaker. I would take dizzy spells and often faint. I was subject to severe headaches and found It hard to do my work. I took doctor's medi- cine for some time, but it did me no good, and I was still growing weaker. In this condition I began the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and In a short time found they were helping me. I continued the use of the pills for a while longer, and found that the trouble that had bothered me was gone and I was once more a well wo- man." Get Dr Williams' Pink Pilla at your druggist's or write The Dr. Wlllams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont., and the pills will be sent post paid at 50 cents a box.

Bucking Horse Chanipion "Bring 'em on" says Pete Knight of Croaefleld, Alberta, and Canaaiaji North American Bucking Horse Champion. He gained this title at the Calgary Stampede held In the west recently against competitors from all parts of Canada and the United States, and In doing so proved hinwelf master of anything the western plains could produce In the way of equine fury.

Sets in Country Need Elxtra Care in Proper Grounding as Protection Against Lightning In Installing a radio receiving set In the country, that Is on the farms and in villages and towns where there are few street wires and pipes to car- ry away lightning charges, a little ex- tra care is advisable. Lightning may be attracted by the aerial and travel- ing down this may not only demolish the set but destroy the house as well. But by the addition of a simple grounding device the lightning will be deflected harmlessly Into the earth. The Ontario Fire Marshal's Depart- ment advise keeping all aerials, if mounted on the rojf, below the term- inals of the regular lightning rod masts. It is better to place the aerial away from buildings altogether, using poles for this special purpose only. There should be a good sized, single pole knife switch between the aerial and the set. The middle of this switch is connected to the aerial and one end to the set and the other to the ground. When the set is not in use the aerial should be dii-ectly connected to the ground and there should always be a tag attaching to the set warning people against using the same during an electrical storm. If lightning should strike the aerial it will then travel down the wire through the knife switch and into the ground connection without going tlirough the receiving apparatus. But, warns Deputy Fire Marshal George P confused with a lightning rod; it will not protect tho house but simply takes the charge away from the radio set. ISTMES MOTHERS NIKE i mi OF LITTLE OXES Many motheri give their children solid foods at {oo early an age and say proudly that their babies "eat everything that grown-up people do." Such a course Is almost certain to bring on indigestion and lay the foun- dation of much ill-health for the lit- tle one. Other mothers administer harsh, nauseating purgatives which in real- ity Irritate and injure the delicate stomach and bowels and at the same time cause the children to dread all medicine. Absolately no meat should be given, to a child until It reaches the age of 18 months, and then only if approved by the doctor. For medicine, all strong, disagreeable oils and powders should be abandoned and Babys' Own Tablets given instead.. Baby's Own Tablets are especially made tor little ones. They are pleas- ant to take and can be given with ab- solute safety to even the new-bom babe.^ They quickly banish constipa- tion and indigestion, break up colds and simple fevers and make the cut- ting of teeth easy. They are sold by medicine dealers or by mall at 2B cents a box from The Dr. Wlllams' Medicine CCo., Brockville, Ont. « . The Real Drawing Card.

DearhoJt, wiho re- ported that for the first time in the history of the WLsconalii Tuberculosis .Association all of the State's twenty sanatoria are filled with patients, with long waiting lists at many of them. Girls between 15 and 25, striving fir a boyish figure and wearing scanty clothing, have lowered thtlr res!i>- tance to a point where they aro easy pr<>y of the disaaso, Dr. Dcarboit said. "I beJieve we can cut down tuber- culosis among young women if we pu»h dress reform," he declared.
