Magnesia Best for Your Indigestion Most people who suffer, either occasionally or chronically from gas, sourness and indi. gestion, have now discontinued disagreeable diets, patent foods and the use of harmful drugs, stomach tonics, medicines and arti- 'ficial digestants, and instead, following the advice so often given in these columns, take a teaspoonful or four tablets of Bisurated Magnesia in a little water after meals with the result that their stomach no longer troubles them, they are able to eat as they please and they enjoy much better health. Those who use Bisurated Magnesia. never dread the approach of meal time because they know this wonderful anti-acid and food corrective, which can be obtained from any good drug store, will instantly neutralize the stomach acidity, sweeten. the stomach, pre. vent food fermentation, and make digestion easy, Try this plan yourself, but be cer- tain to get Bisurated Magnesia especially She. was a former resident of this community.

Morrison, secretary of the U. F.0. Co-Operative Co., Ltd., paid a glowing tribute to the agricul- turists of this country. "Agricul- ture," he said, 'is our greatest in- dustry. It produces the bread bas- ket of the world. In Ontario it has the greatest per capita pro- duction in the world." The meet- ing was arranged by a local com- mittee for organizational purposes, and for learning something mnrore of the principle of co-operative marketing. After the opening re- marks by Mr. Frank Dorland, Mr. J. J. Morrison, the great apostle of Ontario agriculture, was caliea to address the meeting. He opened his address in a jocu- lar vein expressing his pleasure at meeting such a good number as were present and by saying it was a typical farmers' meeting, "Typi- cal," he said, "in that farmers everywhere fill the back benches. They are loath to come forward." This attitude, he claimed, was the principal cause of the many disad- vantages under which agricultur- ists were now suffering. 'This con- dition often necessitated the say- ing of unpleasant things but there were some very pleasant things to say also, In seeking to better conditions, farmers had made mistakes, but in so doing they had kept on learning. "Show me the man who has made no mistakes," Mr. Morrison said, "and 1 will show you a mran who has not accomplished very much." The farmer has had to change his policies with the changing times, as policies are determined by the wants of the times. Unlike other industries such as mining, lumbering and fishing, which are, the speaker claimed. great exploiting industries, agri- culture is a producing industry that never dies out. Men are farming today on land where men farmed as long ago as history has any record. The farmer is a part- ner with the Creator in developing stock, grain, vegetables and fruit, in ever better quality and greater abundance. "And yet," Mr. Mor- rison asserted, 'the farmer Is unappreciated by his fellowmen. He is called a 'hay-seed', 'clod- hopper,' and 'sod-buster,' a 'hunch back' and is made to look ridicu- lous by uncomplimentary car- toons." Under his conditions of life the farmer has developed a peculiar personality. He now depreciates himself and his own industry. The industry is not flourishing as it should and is not as good as it was. Production has increased and mortgages have increased. "What is wrong with the busi- ness?" asked Mr. Morrison, and his answer was that it was not a business. The farmers had stu- died production only and left the selling end to others and allowed others to set the price. Agriculture is carrying too big a load. It produces wheat which it sells for a nominal sum and then buys it back as puffed wheat at over $33 per bushel. Its other products are one hundred per cent pure which it exchanges for shoddy. This condition is depressing the industry. Every Government across the country admits it, and has its commission working on it. The general conclusion is that agricul- ture carries too great a load. One of the alarming evidences of this 1s the trek of the young peo- ple from the rural parts to our cities. Another is the frantic ef- forts 'of our governments to speed up immigration which dwindles sway as fast as it comes. Mr, Mor- rison also claimed that hoth capital that he may have a speedy recov- ery.

McClintock, who has Any Headache --Nervous and labor have left the land. The farmer cannot go on the labor mar- ket and pay the price that labor asks. Labor sells its time while the farmer sells his produce. The price of labor is the result of or- ganization. The farmer must now give as much attention to organization as he has previously given to produc- Moy Relieved by Zutoo CK (oi CANO I M2) ) CECI ES 2 20 LK 2 aX INO JAO)NP)IN JNO) J JIE) CNG NEON) AEA -- ACT a a I Zn a a A IK 20K 0K 2 KA V)\V ig) \8)i\ ET \¢ OE BB I IE I 2 ie UICC OI THE A Stunning Collection of New Modes For Spring ~~ at -~ Simcoe Street South ; | | | "FAIR" itively new and fresh A truly re- markable selec- tion of Brilliant Hats for Spring.

He illustrated this by what the wheat pool are already accomplishing. All the pool wheat is sold by one man and this has practically stop- ped wheat gambling. This means that the consumer is now coming to the producer and the producer is getting the average price of wheat for the year irrespective of when sold. Mr, Morrison then explained these principles as exercised by the U.F,0. Co-Operative Company in connection with live stock, cream, eggs, etc. The U,F.0. has a membership of 20,000, The U.F.0. Co-Opera- tive Co., has 21,000 shareholders and did business last year to the extent of $20,000,000. The Tor- onto Creamery, one of the branches of the U.F.0. produced last year over 3,000,000 pounds of butter, At the conclusion of the meeting a committee was appointed to ar- range another meeting and seven- | teen of those present handed in their names as being desirous of forming a branch of the U.F.O, in this distriet, : HERTZOG INSISTS ~ ON INDEPENDENCE Basis of Empire's Co-oper- ation in Peace and War is Independence Cape Town, South Africa, Mar, 21.--Speaking in the debate on the | motion to adopt the report of the Imperial Conference in the House of Assembly, Premier J, B. M. Hertzog said that never before in his life, at any rate in his life as a politician, had he been more strongly in favor of co-operation with the Empire but it was only on a basis of full independence that South Africa or any other Dominion would ever comsent to co-operate in the British Empire. Co-operation was the governing principle of the Empire's existence. Take away that co-operation and there was no Empire. Co-opera- tion was not only co-operation in wartime, If the Empire was to be an Empire in the real sense of the word there must be eo-opera- tion of free peoples in the first place in peace time and that eo- operation could only be obtained on the basis of independence. VETERAN CONDUCTOR IS LOST BY C.P.R. Port Arthur, March 19.--David Corbett, senior passenger conduc- tor on the Schreiber Division of the Canadian Pacific Railway, and one of the best-known rafilwaymen in the service of the company, died in hospital early this morning fol- lowing an illness of about a month, He was 64 years of age. Mr. Cor- bett was operated on recently, and appeared to be making good re- covery until a few days ago, when he suffered a relapse and had to be taken from his home to the hos- QUEBEC TO FIGHT INROADS OF WEEDS New Law to Compel Des- truction of All Noxious Growths Quebec, Mar. 22.--The Province of Quebec will take additional mea- sures to protect its pasture lands and cultivation areas from the in- roads of weeds, in the terms of a bill now before the House in the name of Hon. E. Moreau, minister without portfolio, in behalf of the Department of Agriculture, whose minister, Hon. J. E, Caron, now sits in the Upper House. The new law makes it compul- sory for everyone to destroy such weeds as the Lieutenant-Governor- in-Council, on the recommendation of the Minister of Agriculture, de- clares to be noxious. Formerly, this was only compulsory oa de- mand of a neighbor. Under the old law a penalty of 40 cents a day for each day of delay in comply- ing with the request to destroy was provided for but considerable formalities had to be gone through in the formal giving of notice for action. From now on municipalities will be able to appoint an inspector each to enforce weed destruction, and notice signed by this official shall be sufficient, and must be complied with within eight days. Failing action bythe party noti- fled, the inspector will be empow- ered to destroy, or have destroyed, the growths complained of, and to recover the cost from the offender, in the usual routine of municipal taxation, i It is made clear in the bill that the idea is to get all dangerous weeds out of the way before their seed ripens.
