THE FLESHERTON ADVANCE WEDN1ESDAY, JANUARY 18, 1933 i Believe It or Not Ripley Thirsting For Gore Thirsting fo; goie, twenty six hunt- ers from this district, armed to the tteth, migrated to Ripley (believe it or not) on Saturday last, and scared 86 jack rabbits to death. While we have lots of "Jack" In Flesherton to buy ammunition, tht rabbit family ia largely lacking in "jack." Hence the hmg treck by truck and car to Bruce county to lo- cate these greyhounds of the leporl- dae family. Car Gained hy Jimmy Dargavei and Geo. Brackenbury and aimed with evtsrything from blunderbusses to machines, the bold hunters covered an area of about 25 sqare miles. Every time a jack rabbit was sight- ed, the order for rapid fire was given. If the rabbit could outrun the bullets faltered in his stride the bullet would hit or pa.ss him. When it passed, it scared hira so badly he sat down to think it over. The ground was moist ; pneumonia set in, and the jack died. Thu.s were the 86 victims accounted for. Believe it or not â€" Ripley jacks were jacked up properly that day. And the butcher business will be rather slack until the mighty hunters eat their way through the day's bag One hunter exploded a dollar and a half worth of ammunition and nevei got a rabbit. The denizens of Ripley must have thought that the Japanese highbinders must have moved ovei from Manchuria. This is a class of meat with which we are not very familiar, but vf> pro- pose to try it out, thanks to Benedict Barney Welton. If you hear about us going jack shooting you may take it for granted that our verdict is fav- he was declared winner. But if he ; orable. County council will meet in Owen Sound next week. Dr. and Mrs. E. C. Murray were in Toronto the first of the week. E'eellent roads for motoring at the presei.; time. Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Wilson and fam- ily spent the week end at Dundalk. Miss Rose McGirr of Fevei.-ham spent last week in town, the guest of Mrs. G. Mitchell and Mrs. Thurs- ton. The Woman's Missionary Society will be held in St. John's United church, tomorrow, Thursday, at 3 p.m. AH welcome. Mr. and Mrs. All'. Down and Mrs. H. Down visited with Mr. and Mrs. Robt. Down at Tara over the week end. Quite a number of rabbit hunters were over near Ripiey on Saturday and succeeded in bagging 68 of these fleet marauders. The editor of this G. F. J. and his better half quietly celebrated the 49th anniversary of their wedding on Sat- urday, January 14th. Hanover juniors failed to show up for a scheduled hockey game Tuesday evening, after a large crowd had waited at the rink for nearly two hourf. It is very rarely that the elementi present us with an irridescent dis- play such as we had on Monday, when a fine rainbow spanned the heavens in the ea.-tem sky, during a misty condition (.2 the atmosphere. Miss Edith Betts, second youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Betts, who has not been enjoying the best of health the past few months was taken, to Markdale hospital on Tuesday morning for an x-ray treat- ment. Mr. Thos. iWatson of Saugeen Junc- tion had excellent results ' from hog feeding recently. He shipped six hogs through W. J. Blackburn, ship.r per, and was credited with every one a select. This extra money will no doubt be quite acceptable. Jas.

HAWKEN Interest in the work of. Dr. Mahlon W. Locke, famous .Williamsburg, On- tario, foot-twister, has spread to Eur- ope. The Daily Express, of London England, sent a scientific expert tt investigate the work of the man 'i-oni- cally nominated by the Americaij Medical Association as the "miracle man of 1932." The expert cabled the" following story to the Express: Williamsburg, Ont., Thursday â€" In a Canadian farmyard I have just wit- nessed u most bizarre medico-religiiua ;;5iectacle. The "miracle man," the central fig- ure of this amazing scene, is Dr. Locke, once an ohicure country prac- titioner, now treating more patient.s than any other doctor in the world' â€" more; even than many of the world's largest hospitals. He averages 660 patients a day, but sometimes he treats as many a.; 1,400. He charges four shillings a treatment which consists of twisting the arch of the foot, and, acovjing to the Ameri- can Medical .Association's investiga- tion, this brings in more than £30,000 1 year. Patients from all parts of Canadrj and the United States wait for treat- ment in his farmyard clinic. The ma- jority of them are or the middle oi lower classes, but a considerable num- ber are frorp the higher walks of life. -All are treated equally. Dr. Locke's chief fame comes from his treatment of arthritis, the stub- born ailment which still defies scien- tific research. Scenes similar to t'.iose at the fam- ous shrine of Ste. Anne de Beaupre, in the neighboring province of Que- bec, may now be seen in this little town. Patients leave crutches behind, abandon wheel chairs, and throw away supports without which they previous- ly could not have walked. Motor cars are parked in a line a mile or more from the "miracle man's" house. All day there is a crowd in the yard of his home. In the middle of the circle the doc- tor sits on a revolving office chair, treating each seated patient success- ively. .AH receive the same treat- ment â€" a bending of the arch of the foot. He does not know who his patients are; he keeps no records, holds nc consultations. He seldom speaks tc his patients â€" does not even look at I their faces to see the owners of tlu feet he is twisting in his strong, pudgy hands. Treatments are given at the rate ot three a minute, while Dr. Locke stuffs dollar bills into his po.-ket. He leaves his chair only to go into the kitchen of the farmhouse to throw the note<= on the table and then returns to work. "The main nerve of each leg ru.:s through the arch of the foot. Then are four bones in this arch. If tht arch falls, the bones are thrown out of alignment, resu.ting in a pressurt on the nerVe. "When the nerve is ma.'ihed between the joints of the arch, pain result but not necessarily at that point. Pains in many parts of the body, called 're- ferred pain,' break out, setting up dis turbances all over the body. One con sequence is the disease known as a>- thritis, and certain fotms of paralysis result. "I simply swist thp arch of the foot back into its proper alignment. "The body," continued Dr. Locke, "when relieved of pain, fights germs for itself, thus aiding the cure of many diseases caused by germs." Williamsburg, a town with no rail- way,, has grown up almost ovemigh* around Dr. Locke's practice. Scores of lunch stalls and restaurants have been established for the "pilgrims," and a £22,000 hotel has sprung up.

Appointments Made At Inaugural Meeting of Artemesia Council Shot 250 Rabbits In One Day A regular "army" of Hanover hunt ers was oVer at Bervie on New Year's Day, and bagged about 250 rabbits. A week previously some 68 fell victims to the gunfire of local hunters, but the augmented party on New Year's trav- elled in two groups, one getting some- what over 100 and the other over 150. The huge Greenopk swamp is believed to be the breeding ground of these rabbits, and they certainly have ovei- run the fields at Bervie. â€" Hanover Post. 1.0.L 2855 Officers Ja.s. -A.

Taylor of Os- prey has been looking with longing eyes to occupying this chair and is working hard again this year in an effort to bring honor to himself ana to Osprey township. .\s two of his' opponents he will have D. McDonaid Reeve of Bentinck, and Louis Himmler of Neustadt, two men thoroughly fam- iliar with the procedure in cour.C!i and who have had many years of service in their respective municipal- ity. .While there are likely to bt other aspirants for the golden throne it is thought that the choice will narrow down to these three. Of the three it will be quite likely that Mr. McDonald will be the new Warden from the fact that Osprey township has been honored by having a warden a comparatively shorter time ago than Bentinck, while both have had considerably more experience than the reeve of Neustadt. However, both Mr. McDonald and Mr. Taylor would make good wardens and the members of the County Council would not bt far astray if they would choose eithei of them for the Warden's chair. â- Prairie Rose FLOUR $1.90 Jelly Powders 5 FOR 25c Delu-xc Head Lettuce 15c 2 FOR 25c Chase & Sanhiirn's COFFEE Ground ^^hiloâ-  V wan 39c and 49c. lb.
