TA: CAN4 For years I had gas on the stom- ach. The first dose of Adlerika. help- ed. I now sleep well and all gas is gone. It also helped my husband. (Signed) Mrs. B. Brinkley. ONE spoon- ful Adlerika removes GAS.and often brings astonishing relief to the stom- ach. Stops that full, bloated feeling. Brings out old, wastematter you nev- er thought was in your system. This excellent intestinal evacuant is wand-_ erful for constipation. Wm.

When the canal is dugand the dyke is built there will remain at the east- ern end a space of 250 feet. This will be the dam on which is to be located a pumphouse. The dam will hold back ` from the drained area the" back flow of water from the remaining _ part of the Holland river which `lies eastward from the highway to the place where` it empties` into Coqk s, Bay. The dam` is to consist of two rows of piles, set twenty feet apart and filled vein with roncrete and earth. - Pump River Dry When the dam is `complete two auto- 1 matic electrically driven pumps will commence operating. Eachone of them i will be capable of pumping- 20,000 gal- lons or 1',000 barrels a minute.

Currie traces his family through that section of Ontario during the time of the War of 1812 and its subsequent settlement. Discussing the : local history of the Nottawasaga River, - Col. Currie stated-that, his grandfather, - i V Hector MacAllister, had seen the guns ' 3 in fourteen feet "of water on the deck of 3 the burned ship. - Sunk Further Down Hector MacAll.ister and his three sons built the- first` `ship that sailed 9 from themouth" of the Nottawaaga River, and it was during the construc- tion of this` vesselthat the guns of 1 `Nancy were seen -by him and his sons. , ' stated Col. `Currie. At that time the; water was-very clear and bottomvcould be seen `at greatdepths. I have been told the `Nancy sunk some distance. from where `the vessel was found re- 3 | cently. It is. believed that the action of! ' the cunrent has carried the wreck down the river `and the `current has gradually piled up an island where the ship now rests. If that is. the case the guns may be "found some distance away. They may have fallen overboard and may not have drifted -with the `ac- tion oflthe -water) - gin Neutral Territory ' " ..Col. Currie, who has made some study of the district, is quite familiar with the his_tory'that attaches. itself to thatsection of Ontario: It was in- habited by the,Neutrais or "Tobacco Indians `when the first missionarie penetrated the wilds of Ontario. It was on the` Nottawasaga banks that Chave- let. recently-canonized by the Catholic Church, was murdered by a seemingly friendly Indian `and his body Lthrown into the river.. - V V * T\Inn`nn- `Inn 117.... .1 191:: an- I_}.-,,I. , annulus-nuw wwuu: or II BIC INC to domywqr `audit ` `me connement.
