Mrs. Watson And Her Oxen In Early Days Problems With Figures We noticed in a youths' column ot the Canadian Railway Magazine a problem stated thus: Arrange the Back in the early seventies when I first seven figures in such a mannei the country was nearly all forest, that when added up the total will be Mrs. J. Watson with her family, lived | exactly 100. The answer was given: JlRnual Meeting of Old Boys' and Girls' Assoc.

FIELD, Secretary Injured By Falling Timber That a foolish friend is more dan- gerous than a wise enemy was im-j pressed upon Bert Wyatt in a pain- ful way on Tuesday of last week when on beholding a fellow work- man about to remove a timber over- head on which cicveral heavy beams were leaning for support, and know- ing that a collapse was inevitable if the man persisted in this effort at the razing of the old Royal Hotel bam here, Bert had hardly finished shouting a note of warning, which went unheeded, when the outfit fell apart like a collapsed house of cards «.nd in the spill Mr. Wyatt waS struck on the left leg by a heavy timber, which laid him off duty for a time and which caused the affected limb to ewell up and discolor in an alarm- ing manner. â€" Walkerton Herald- TPimes. It is claimed by the kutomobile tnanufacturers that thei^e will be 110,000 car» and trucks made in Can- ada this year. It Is further claimed Ihat 40,000 of these will be for ex- |»ort and 70,000 will be sold in Can- ada. Perhaps. Postmaster Allan of Wiarton has teceived notice from the Department that he must keep the Wiarton Post Office open until 8 p.m. Until the on the Old Durham Road, three and a half miles east of Priceville. She was a strong, healthy, robust woman both in body and mind, and well cap- able to meet every emergency of tht trying life of the early settler. Het husband was not a strong man and not very able for the rugged work ot the forest farm. Her family, two boys and two girls, had nothing want ing in physical and mental vigor and were well able to help the mother in every way. A pair of oxen, a few cows and some young cattle made up the herd of live stock. As soon as the, snow melted in tne spring and until winter came again these were turned out to hunt their feed Ln the forest, beaver mead ows and open places, the cows to re- turn for milking morning and night and the oxen to be kept home for the work when needed. The herd would often return themselves to the clear- ing and stable or be found not far away, and when they did not return themselves their customary places of resort were generally well known to those who looked after them. Some- times they did not keep their custom- ary route and would stay off, and it would mean a search through the dense forests for a time, that would last from one or two hours to a whole day, or even longer, before they were located and brought safely back again. One of the early established events was the monthly fair, which was held in town and village as soon as there was a surplus of cattle to be offered for sale. On the first Monday or the second Tuesday, as the case might be, of each month anyone wishing to buy cattle would go to the village or town and anyone having cattle to sell would drive them in and meet for the pur- pose of buying and selling. One summer evening when Mrs Watson's girls were milking the cows by the roadside, they saw a man com- ing along the road. They looked up to see who it might be and their eyes met the face of a stranger. He passed along without saying any- thing, although in those times each person knew all the residents of the neighborhood or settlement and it was somewhat uncommon for a strangei to pass by; yet they gave the mattei little thought and it caused them no immediate concern. Next morning the oxen were missing. The cows and young cattle w^eve home, but the oxen were not in sight. It happenea that that day was the monthly fair in Durham. Mrs. Watson claimed that the oxen were stolen and that the man .seen the evening befoi-e would take them to Durham to sell. The family thought it was foolish to think such a thing that no one would steal them, and they were only off in the bush and would return or be easily found Mrs. Watson decided to follow the oxen to Durham, but the family tried to persuade her not to make the four- teen mile trip when she would have to walk the entire distance with the rain falling so heavily. She finally start- ed on the long trip in the rain. Not far on the way she met a neighbor w^ho enquired where she was going and on finding that Mrs. Wat- son was intending to go to Durham also tried to persuade her not to. saying that she was craiy to try to go to Durham in the rain. He sug- gested that the oxen would be off in the bush and would turn up or be found in good time. Further on she met some others and about the same di'^logue took place, but all without effect. Mrs. Watson plodded reso- lutely along. She crossed the cord- uroy stretches of road and climbed the weary hills and once in a while would stop and shake the v/ater from her skirts and clothing for the rain con- tinued to fall. This of course lessen- ed the load she was carrying, for in those times women's apparel consisted of more bulk in dry goods than what has been considered necessary in more recent years. By and by, wearied almost to the point of exhaustion, she was delighted when some of the houses of Durham hove in sight. She went direct to the yard where the fair was held, and there in truth stood her o.xen. They were then in the hands of a new own- er who had bought and paid for them. Mrs. Watson claimed the oxen and told her story. They attempted to bluff her, but she pressed her claim. The next thing to do was to find the man who sold the oxen, and a con- stable was set on the trail, and the man was found in a town store, spend- ing some of the money. They laid a charge of theft against him, but he denied it and tried to defend himself. Mrs. Watson expected that she would have to bring some of her neighbors m order to prove her property, but this did not turn out necessary, and the trouble was cleared up without arrange the figures under each othei thus: 15, 36, 47, 2: add these up and the total will be 100. Other arrange- ments may be made, for instance we made two groups as follows: 76, 12, .5, 4,- 5. and 67, 23, 4, 5, 1. Probably other groups may be formed. We remerrjber another set of six figures that has some curious prop- erties: 1, 4, 2, 8, 5, 7. Multiply them as one number, 142857, by any one of the first six numbers, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6, and the result will contain the same six figures, for instance multiplied by 4 the result is 571428. It will be noticed that the figures are in the same order, though differently plac- ed. Another class of problem is thus given: Ask some one how many would be left if one was taken from four. He will say that three would be left. Then you can say that you can prove that five would be left. Your friend will think that this is quite impossible, but you can easily prove that it is not so with a small square of paper. The square you point out has foui comers. If you cut one of these off, five comers remain. So you have taken one from four and left five. There is another way of solviny the proiblem that is probably more famil- iar: remove the I from the Roman IV and you have V left. Similarly you can remove I from IX and have ten left.â€" Ex. NEIGHBORS HONOR THE COBURN FAMILY A large gathering of the friends and neighbors of Mr. and Mrs. Cobum and son, Willis, of Orange Valley met recently at the Orange Hall to spend an evening with them previous to their departure from the neigh- borhood, and to present them with gifts of remembrance.

SOW THISTLE MENACE Betevmined that sow thistle be stamped out within the confines ol its area, the Council of the County ot Kent have had a conference with Hon T. L. Kennedy.

One imortant function ot the blood is to supply fluid to the tissues of the body. After a hemorr- hage, the blood is diminished in vol- ume, and fluid is withdrawn from the tissues to make up this deficiency The tissues are thus deprived ol fluils, so the patient complains ot thirst. The sudden loss of comparatively large amounts of blood causes one form of anaemia. Other anaemias are due, not to loss of blood, but to changes in the blood. Millions of red blood cells carry o\_ , ri to the tissues. The average life of a red blood cell is a month. The body machinery is able to replace red blood cells at this rate. There is a reserve of red cells in the spleen and bone marrow sufficient to meet any sudden or unusual demand. If, however, the extra demand continues, the reserve is soon exhausted and the machinery for making new cells is unable to meet the demand, with the result that there is a deficiency in the quality or quantity, or both. Chlorosis is a type of anaemia which occurs in young women. There IS no reduction in the number of red blood cells, but there is a change in the haemoglobin, with the result that the complexion takes on a yellow- green tinge, hence its popular name, "green sickness." This condition, which used to be common, is now comparatively rare in this country. The cause in unknown. It is readily cured by the administration of iron properly prescribed. Pernicious anaemia, or Addison's disease, is a type of anaemia in which there is a tremendous decrease in the number of blood cells. The onset ot this disease is slow and gradual The patient becomes aware of an increas- ing lack of energy. He finds that he fatigues easily and becomes breath- less; he has no appetite and is oc- casionally dizzy. Numbness and tingling in the extremities are com- mon. The skin is pale or yellow tinged, but there is no loss of fat. A few years ago, it was discovered that the aldition of liver to the diet of those suffering from pernicious anaemia brought about a startling improvement and the blood became normal again. What substance is present in liver which does this is not known; it is found in extracts from the liver tissue and the tissues of other organs. This discovery marks one of the great advances in medical treatment for, through the use ol liver, patients are brought back to normal. They are not cured, but they are kept normal by the continu- ous use of liver. Up until recently, pernicious an- aemia was usually fatal, but now the disease has been added to the list oi those for which we have a specified remedy. â€"HAVE YOU RENEWED?
