The BABY | Why do so many, many babies of today escape all the little fret- ful spells and infantile ailments that used to worry mothers through the day, and keep them up balf the night? . If you .don't know the answer, you haven't discovered pure, barmless Castoria. It is sweet to the taste, and sweet in the little stomach. And its gentle influence seems felt all through the tiny system. Not even a distasteful dose of castor oil does so much Fletcher's Castoria vegetable, so you may give it freely, at first sign of colic; or constipation; or diarrhea. Or those many times when y just don't know what is the tter. For real sickness, call the doctor, always. At other times, a few drops of Fletcher's Castoria. The doctor often tells you to do just that; and always says Fletch- er's. Other preparations may be just as pure, just as free from dangerous drugs, but why experi- ment? Besides, the book ¥n care and feeding of babies that comes with Fletcher's Castoria is worth its weight in gold. is purely Hetche CASTORIA i | KNOX PREPARATORY SERVICE 1S HELD Rev.

For the year 1927 the interest- ing calculation is that $276,288,140 was spent by visiting motorists in Canada. The number of United States cars en- 3153800, and while many of them came for 24 hours only the great bulk of the revenue was derived from for an average of 15 days. The estim ate is based on the assumption that each vehicle contained four 'persons and each perSom made an outlay ot $5 daily for supplies and exportable purchases. On the same method of reasoning the amount spent by Canadian motor- tourists in the United States last year was approximately $70,000,000. .

Dr. H. B. Winlock, Associate Cu- rator of Egyptian Art at the Mus- eum, reconstructs the battle from reports of the wounds found on the up.mies by the Museum's Egyp- tian expedition. From the small head wounds and the downward course of arrows found ip the bodies, Dr. Winlock says the men must have died storm- ing a castle, the head wounds hav- ing evidently been caused by small missiles thrown from above. They were soldiers of King Menthuhotep, and the unusual honor paid them of burial in a Royal tomb leads to the conclusion they fell in an important engagement." Other wounds »n the bodies, the article says, show that the wouhd- ed were despatched with clubs by tl e victors after their comrades had reiterated.

Not only boys and girls, but men and women, take an intense 'nterest in the game in Wales. Last year, when the international tournament was held in London, the Welsh players invented spe- 'al tahle-tennis "cries" to cheer their players on to victory. The Hungarians have adopted it as their national game, Germany, Austria, Hungary, Denmark, Swe- den, Latvia, and Czecho-Slovakia are all send'ng teams to the inter- national tournament.

CHAPPER a- -Conunucad "1 bave ofien wondered," sald Charlie, "how much the attitude of the employees toward their work ia due to the attitude of the em- ployers toward that same work." The old workman returned, heartily, "We'll be seeing a differ- ent feeling in the Mill wader John, I am thingin'--he's diferent." "1 should say he is d.tferemt,' agreed Charlie, quickly. "John would ratner wo.k at his job for nothing tuan do auything else for ten times tue salary he draws. But was Adam always as he is now?" "About his work do you mean?" "Yes." Adam Ward's old comrade an- swered, siowly, "I've often wond- ered that myself, 1 can't say for sure. As 1 look back Low, 1 think gowietimes tual he used to have an juterest in the woik itself at first. Takin' his deve.wpment of the new process and 'all--Iit almost seems that he must have hag. And yet, there's some things that make me think 'that all the time it meant nothing to him but just what he could get out of it for himself." "Helen will be happy over the anybody cowd see how Cnparlie's promotion in the army proved him superior to John, who was never anything but 4 common private." Captain Charlie laughed aloud. "John and 1 understand all about that superiority business. 1 waa lucky, that's all -- our captain just happened to be looking in my di- rection, Belleve me, good old John was just as busy as 1 ever dared to be, only it was his luck to be busy at some other point that the captain didn't see." "Is that all Jake had to say, daughter * "No," answered the young wom- an, slowly. *"I--1 am afraid 1 was angry at what he called John --] mean at what he sald about Charlle and John's friendship -- and so I told him what I thougnt about him and Sam Whaley and their crowd, and asked him to go and not come back again except to see you or Charlie," "Good for you, Mary!" exclaim- ed her brother, But the old workman said noth- ing. "And how did Jake take his dis- missal?"" asked Charlie, presently. change, won't she?" remarked Mary, ) "Helen," ejaculated Captain Chariie, with more emphasis per- haps than the occasion demanded.

Mary laughed, "beems to me | have heard sowething like that, before--'silk-hatted slackers' -- it sounds familiar." Capia.n Charlie watched her sus- piciously. The father laughed quietly. "Qh, yes," she exclaimed, with an air or triumph, Whna.ey who said it,' 1 remember think.ng ut tue time tuat it prob- ably came to him from his father, who of course got It from Jake Vodell, Silk:hatted slackers -- sounds like Jake, doesn't it, fath- er" Captain Charlie grinned sheep- isuly. "1 know iL was a rotten thing to say," he admicted, "Some of the best and bravest men in our army were silik-hatters at home, They were in tho ranks too, a lot of toew--Just like Joan ward, And some of the worst cowards and slackers that ever lived be- long.d to our apclent and poole oider of the horny-hauded sons of toily that Jake Vodell orates about.

They were jiscussing the industria; situation Vu. when Mary, baviig finished her household work for the night, join- ed them "I forgot to tell you," she said, 'that Jake Vodell called today." "Again!" exclaimed Charlie. "If Vodell wants to talk with us he'lli have to come when we are at home," aid Pete Martin, slowly, looking at his daughter. With a laugh, the young woman returned, "But I don't think that it was you or Charlie that he want- ed to see this time, father." "What d'd he want?" demanded ber brother, quickly. "He wantad me to go with him to.a dance next Tuesday," she an- swered demurely. "Hub," came in a tone of dis- gust from Charlie. The father asked, quietly, "And what did you say to him, Mary?" "I told him that I went to dan- es only with my friends." "Good!" eaid Captain Charlie. "And what then?" asked Pete. "Thea," she hesitated, "then he said something . about my being careful that I had the right sort of friends and referred to Charlie and John." "Yes?" said Mary's father. "He said that the only use John Ward had for Charlie was to get a line on the union and the plans of the men--that his friendship was only a pretext im order that he might used Charlie as a sort of spy and that the union men would- n't stand for it." Captain Charlie muttered some- thing mnder hig breath that he could mot speak aloud in the pres- ence of his sister. Pete Martin' deliberately knock- ed the ashes from his pipe. "Then," continued Mary, *"be talked about how everybody knew that Johm was nothing but a* -- brother--*a silk-hatted swell who she laughed mockingly at her couldn't hold his job an hour if it wasn't that his father owned the Mill, and that Charlie was a hund- red times more competent to man- sze the business. He said that it was Boboy | "He went, of course," she an- swered. "But he said that he would show me what the friend- ship of a man of John Ward's class meant to a work ng man; that the union men would find out who the loyal members were and when the {ime came they would know whom to reward and whom to treat as traitors to the Cause." For a little while after this the three sat in silence. At last Peter Martin rose heavily to his feet, "Come, Charlie, it is time we were on our way to the meeting; we mus.n't be late, you know." When her father and brother were gone to the meeting of the Mill workers' union, Mary Martin locked the door of the cottage and walked swiftly away. It was pot far to the Interpret- er's hut, and presently the young woman was climbing the old zigzag stairway to the littie house on the ledge of the cliff above, There was no light but the light of the stars the faint breath of the night brevze scarcely stirred the leaves of tne bushes or moved the tall weeds that grew on the hill- side. At the top of the stairs Mary 'paused to look at the many lights of the Flats, the Mill, the business Houses, the streets and the homes, {that shone in the shadowy world elow, | She was about to move toward the door of the hut when the sound of voices com.ng from the balcony- porch halted her, The Interpre- |ter was speaking, She could not |distizguish his words, but the deep {tones of the old basket maker's {voice were not to be mistaken. {Then the y ung woman heard some 'one reply, and the laughing volce 'that answered the Interpreter was as familiar to Mary Martin as the |laugh of her own brother. The |evening visitor to the little hut on 'the cliff was the son Jf Adam | Ward." Very softly Mary Martin stole back down the zigzagg steps to the | road below, Slowly she went {back through the deep shadows of the night to her little home, with its garden of old-fashioned flow ers, pext door te the deserted house where John Ward was born. Late that night, while John was still at the Interpreter's hut, Adam Ward crept alone like some hunted thing about the beautiful brounds of his great estate. Like a haunted soul of wretchedness, the Mill own- or bad left his bed to escape the hor n° dreams and to find, "ttle rest from his Jaring fea. the calm soli- tude of the nigh. When Pete Martin, with Captain Charlie and their many industrial comrades. had returned to their homes after the meeting of thelr union, five men gathered in that dirty, poorly lighted room in the rear of Dago Bill's pool hall. The five men had entered the place one at a time. They spoke together in low, guarded tones of Jobp Ward and his management of the Mili, of Pete Martin and Cap- tain Charlie, of the Interpreter and Mclver. And three of those five men bad come to that secret place at Jake Vodell's call, directly from the meeting of the Mill workers' un- fon. (To be Continued) HUDSON SEAL NOW A STYLISH TRIMMING Hudson seal is the first of the heaver furs to be cut up into the complicated piecings and incrusta- tions that are mow so much im yogue for coats and gowns of silk and wool. Henri Vergue shows some of the most ambitious of these intricately seamed effects. One of Hudson seal was seamed both front annd back in a series of lad- dering Vs and was draper to tle left. Almost everything Imagin- able has been done to fur heretofore except to drape it--it has always been considered too bulky for that --but this coat manages to intro- duce draping and still retaic both its slenderness and chic. Muffs have come back! Rather shrinking and incomspicious little muffs, to be sure, put muffs for all that Generally they are made in a semi-circular shape about twelve inches across. If a small, round pillow, with a gathered puffing encircling it, were to be cut in two, the result would look very much like these little muffs. They are made in breitschwantz, in shaved lamb or in any of the clipped furs of cloth-like texture. More midnight oil is burned in furnaces, now, than was gyor burn- ed by students. PAGE FIVR REDROSE TEA: s good ted' Red Rose Orange Pekoe -=Top Quality In clean, bright Aluminum ---- PROVINGIAL PROBE OF NURSES' STRIKE Is Asked By Guelph Hospi- tal Board--Exonerate Superintendent Guelph, Feb. 28.-- "The direc- tors express their utmost confi- dence in Miss Elizabeth Shortreed, R.N., and recommend to the Super- intendent that she give further consideration to the reinstatement of the two nurses who were dis- missed," Late tonight the Board of Gov- ernors of the Guelph General Hos- pital reached the above decizion, after hearing facts pertaining to the strike of student nurses of the hosnital. The board met early this arternoon and gave the dispute a thorough hearing. It refused to mention the two nurses in question in its finding. They are Miss Mar- jorie Rowen and Miss Grace Sun- ley. Investigation Asked In addition to expressing confi- dence in Miss Shortreed and asking her to reconsider the reinstate- ment of Miss Rowen and Miss Sun- ley, the hoard decided to ask the Inspector of Hospitals to institute an investigation into conditions, "to satisfy public opinion of the Province." The finding of the hoard averts the possibility of another strike, It heard Miss Shortreed and three senior nurses, Isabel Pringle, Inez Ingles and Margaret Singer, and three junior nurses, Jean Crocker, Ariel Reid and Marion Wood. The meeting was held behind © closed doors, but it is stated that no com- nlaints were made regarding food or living conditions. All grievances were due, it was said, to the 'atmosphere' of the hospital and the training school. Resolution Passed Representing the Board of Gov- ernors, John M, Taylor » issued a !engthy statement covering the un- fortunate occurrence and a resolu- tion, The resolution read: "Re- solved: That whereas some of the nurses in training at the Guelph General Hospital 'went on strike after issuing an ultimatum to the Superintendent: "Whereas such action is fraught with danger, embarrasses those in authority and undermines discip- line: "Whereas, most of the offenders are young, sensitive and impulsive, the Superintendent, not wishing to =esort to harsh measures in meting o01t punishment for such a serious ense, decided to allow the signa- tories to the ultimatum to gpply for reinstatement; "Whereas in an {Instituttion this kind rigid discipline must naintained, and what may seem to of oe she "The stand I have taken as Chairman has been in accordance with the constitution of the hose pital, which was reaffirmed by an act of the Ontario Legislature," said Mr, Taylor tonight when the meeting of the board broke up. "It was my duty when the trouble arose to give immediate attention to it, to reach the facts, and if possible/ to adjust it, In this case it was my opinion that the trouble would require the entire attention of the board." Mr. Taylor stated that a confers ence was held with the Superine tend by himself and other meme bers .of the board. Every effort was made to prevent the strike until the cause of the trouble could be dealt with, Time Was Short Mr. Taylor pointed out that he had only two hours in which to avert what he termed a calamity, He notified the Secretary to tele phone ali directors, informing them that there was trouble in the hospital, He also asked Evan Maca Donald and C. R. Crowe, two die rectors, to he present at 2 p.m, on the day in question to secure what information was possible from the nurses, He stated that the nurses defied the hoard's ree quest, and went on strike at 1 o'clock, "placing lives in jeopard¥, defying authority and violating the rules of the hospital." : Miss Shortreed Firm The Superintendent, Mr. Taylor stated was given a copy of resolus tions passed by the hoard, and in- structed to carry them out. Mids Shortreed, according to the state ment, made it clear that there were nurses who had violated the rules, and these she would not re- employ, If she were compelled to tke them back she would resign, said. "The action of the nurses," continued the statement, "whom I know personally by free quent contact with the hospital and Superintendent, was a surprise to me, as I have reports which are regularly to me." "Therefore, knowing all these things, I am convinced that the Superintendent, Miss Elizabeth Shortreed, has carried out her duty in anything she has done for the benefit and well-being of the hose pital and for the good and henefit and training of the nurses," Mr, Taylor concluded with the remark that "it was deplorable that there were people in Guelph who could not see good where gond exists." * THE DRUGGIST: FOR SERVICE PHONE 378.
