THE FLESHERTON ADVANCE Wednesda\', Januarv 12, â-  i 1 .4. • 1 ♦ :[â- '. ) i n? PRICEVILLE Mr, and Mrs. Fred Karstedt spent a pleasant week's holidays in New York City and had some fine scenery of large buildings and beautiful streets. We were honored with a card showing a fine 22 story building in which they were domiciled. They returned much refreshed and rested ifter their trip. We are pleased to report the re- turn of Miss Mima Wright from the nursing home in Flesherton, much improved in health. We were sorry to learn from your coluntns on returning from our holidays at Holstein of the passing of our fine old friend and chum at camp for many years â€" Sergt. John Weber. As he was a Staff Sergeant, like our- selfves, we were often brought together. He was a *ne shot and an enthusiastic militiaman. He was in attendance at the memorial service here, medals and all. In the same issue was chronicled the death of Dr. E. K. Rfchardson, a well known Major of No. 6 Company, Flesherton, many years ago. I recall the fine, friendly welcome extended to us on a visit we made to him in To- ronto, when he took me to the ortho- paedic hospital, of which he was con- sulting physician. In one case he showed the method of righting curv- ature of the spine. A visit was ako made to the work shop, where various limbs of the body were manufacturad from wood â€" a fine, friendly, soaial «all. Our deepest sympathy goes out to both bereaved families. Many kind, lovable friends visited here during the festive season. Beingf away ourselves, we missed them. "We can't have our apple and eat it too."

Friends here received word recently of tihe death of Mrs. John Crawford, a native of Artemeisa township, near Proton Station, and a resident of Osprey for some years. After her marriage to Mr. Crawford they farm- ed about two miles west of this village for a number of years before they moved to Nanton, Alta. She was a daughter of the late Mr. and) Mrs. James Love, pioneers of Proton Sta- tion district. Some short time after her marriage to Mr. Crawford, about 66 years ago they moved to Lot 9, Con. 11, Osprey, and there made a good livelihood and brought a rough farm into one of the nicest farms in the neighborhood, where Mr, Craw- ford erected a fine frame bam and good brick dwelling, which took the place of the log pioneer buildins:^. Mrs. Crawford passed away at the age of about 81 years, at the home of her daughter, Mrs. D. McNevin, at Yellow Grass, Sask. They had raised a family of two sons and four daugh- ters. Their eldest daughter died while living here, while Mr. Crawford and the two sons died in the West some years ago. OBESITY Obesity is a polite way of saying "too fat'' "too stout". Some persona have a hereditary tendency to stout- ness and m some families a single member may become unusually stout from childhood. But stoutness i» more often the result of excessive eat- ing and not enough exercise. It is a well recognized fact that people who have passed middle life have a tend- ency to become stout, despite the fact that they eat moderately and play plenty of golf. The fact remains that they are consuming carbohydrates beyond their daily needs and the ex- cess amount is converted into fat and stored in the tissues. Obesity is undesirable on several counts. In the first place it tends to slow one up and make all exercise bur- densome. Fat people suffer more than thin people when a fever hits them and they are poorer risks when they have to take a general anaes- thetic. Why is this? Let us ex- plain. Our foods are divided into three classes, carbohydrates, fats, and pro- teins. .AH are essential for normal nutrition, but as used for body en- ergy they are all converted into sugar (or carbohydrates). If we are taking into the body more food than is daily required the e.xcess amount is stored in the tissues as fat. But the fat does not pick out just those parts of the hody one can see in which to lay down layer upon layer of new weight. .\11 body tissues are used in this storing op business and so the heart and the kidneys and other organs all get their share. This means that an organ like the heart has more hulk to keep work- ing thnn the heart which iioi-mallv does not carry a lot of extr.a fatty tis- sue. More work nie.Tns more effort and that is why a very fat person srets "hctvt of breath and niny ex-porience air hunger, ami is a po(>ri'r risk fcr an anaesthetic. Body weight in most persons can be controlled, ft i.; Inrsrc- l.v a matter of eating within reason and having a well balanecil diet. If you are overwoi.!j:ht consult your doc- tor. He will prescribe a diet to suit you. Above all avoid food faddists and the kind friend who took some pills which he is sure is exactly what you need. That is dangerous. .\n outstanding consultant told the writer not long ago, that some of the most serious cases with which he had to deal were persons who followed some- body's cure-all for control of weight. Eat wisely, exercise properly and remember that it is easier, as a rule to put on weight than it is to take it of. PROTON STATION News came to Proton Station by telephone of the death of George Hutchinson of Kitchener, which oc- curred on January 6th. The remains were brought by train for interment in Flesherton cemetery. Rev. G. R. Service, pastor of St. John's United Church, Flesherton, conducted the service at the cemetery on Saturday afternoon. The late George Hutchinson was the youngest son of the late Mr. and Mrs. William Hutchinson, pioneer residents of the east backline, on the farm now owned by Mr. Ernest Stewart. A large and clever family was raised on that homestead, three of whom have passed away in recent years: Mrs. Connell, Miss Maria Hutchinson and Rev. Wm. Hutchinson of Michigfan. Deceased was unmarried. Three brothers and one sister survive: Rev. John P. Hutchinson of Flint, Mich., James and Hilliard of Kitchen- er and Mrs. Parker (Leah). The family was for many years faithful and talented members of the Inistioge church and will be remem- bered by the older residents of this district very kindly, who at this time will sympathize with them in the loss of their brother. Mr. aad Mrs. Clark Wyvill have come to reside in their home in this village until navigation opens in the spring. Last Friday night their friends and neighbors made them guests of honor at a party in the Orange Hall and made them the re- cipients of a presentation. Mrs. George Hutchinson and son, Mr. Milton Hutchinson, of Kimberley visited friends in and around Proton Station during the week end. Live Stock B^ USE INSULIN IN CASES OF IN- SANITY Six Female Patients Are Undergoing "Shock Treatment" The Ontario Department of Health, under Hon. Harold J. Kirby, is experimenting with the new insulin "shock" process, and has alrea3y completed treatment on six female patients at the New Toronto mental hospital, with results which Mr. Kir- by was able to classify as "so far quite encouraging". All these patients had been ill from 19 months to seven and one-half years. Since they were treated, one is considered to have recovered com- pletely her former mental health, and four have improved sufficiently to again care for themselves, do simple work, and are socially acceptable though symptoms of their mental ill- ness "still persist in a milder form". The sixth patient was entirely unin- fluenced by the treatment. (By Duun & Lev^- Liberal supplies for Monday's mar. a fair demand for quality, while other â-  cows and bulls, were i. lower.
