BARR ADDRESSES MEETING Belleville, Dec. 7.--Cheese mak- ers of Central Ontario were issued a stern warning by Geo. H. Barr, Director of Dairying for Ontario, yesterday morning, when he said in effect that if a cheese man at the end of 1928 has a consistently dir- ty, unclean factory, he would have a decidedly hard job getting a first class certificate. "You will be scored closely on your workman- ship when we come to grant certi- ficates,"" he said. A spick ana span factory will get more consider- ation than the factory that is messy and slipshod. If a man cannot get a certificate at all he will have to stop making cheese. There were several speakers, in- cluding Frank Boyes, president of the Western Ontario Cheese Makers Association; W. P. Olmstead oec- retary of the Eastern Ontario Cheese Mokers Association. The Director of Dairying for Ontario, George H. Barr, gave yes- terday morning one of the most in- teresting addresses at the morning Indigestion Were Stopped by Nu-erb Backache and Constipa tion Also Relieved, Says This Carlisle Resident. The great herbal medicine, Dr. French's Nu-Erb, whichis being introduced in Oshawa by the Nu-Erb specialist at Karn's Drug Store is daily growing in popularity because of its certain action on the stomach, kidneys, liver and bowels. Hun- dreds of men and women of this vicinity have come for- ward with public statements praising Nu-Erb. Among them is Mr. Lewis E. Brinkley, well- known farmer of Carlisle, On- : tario( near milton) "For a long time I have suf- fered from stomach, kidney and bowel disorders," said Mr. Brinkley. "Indigestion caused such severe pains in my stom- ach that I could barely stand it at times, My food soured and cameé up in my throat like vinegar. My back was weak and I had a continual acking pain across my kidneys, My bowels would not move with- out the aid of laxatives and then I'd usually have to take double the prescribed dose. "No medicine ever helped me to any extent until I start- ed using Nu-Erb, and I am here to say that this medicine has overcome all that troubls I had with indigestion, food souring and the other distress in my stomach. My back is strong now and the pains have disappeared. My bowels too are acting normally every day without the aid of laxatives. This Nu-Erb is a great medi- cine and everyone who is troubled this way should know about it." Persons who take Nu-Erb - say that there is nothing like this pure herbal compound to put an end to such misery and suffering. It tones and reg- ulates the stomach, kidneys, liver and bowels, and drives poisonous waste matter from the system. Nu-Erb is being specially in. troduced in Oshawa by Karn's Drug Store, next to Post Office.

It 'has helped the cheese business on to a high? plane and a better business basis than ever before. It pays to co- operate with each other. It has given the cheese-makesr a better view of- the opportunities in their professon." VAIN ATTEMPT BY RESCUERS T0 SAVE WORKAN'S LIFE Hamilton Man, Caught in a Huge Fuel Bin, Sinks to Death Hamilton, Dee. 7.--Plant em- ployes and police battled desperate- ly for hours last night in a vain en- deavor to save the life of James Kennelly, 439 Kenilworth Avenue, suffocated _jn 60 tons of coke breeze, atthe plant of the United uel Company. Rescuers cut through a concrete wall, used torches to burn away a thick steel plate and then began the il | slow psocess of emptying the huge fuel containers to find the victim. At 12.30 the body was recovered. The search started at 8 o'clock. Kennelly fought a lone battle for his life, unseen by anyone. He fell from a platform into one of the giant containers. He was gripped as if in quick sand. His struggles would only make him sink deeper till finally, when he was missed and the search started, there was not a trace of the man to be seen. There was not a ripple on the surface of the powdered fuel. There was mo indication which, of two bins, had claimed the life of the workman. The funnel-shaped bins taper down to about 30 inches, and a pipe carries off the fuel to an automa- tic stoker below, the two outlets joining before the blower is reach- ed. At 10 o'clock the coke suppyy was shut. off and the men below went to the top floor to inform Kennelly. There was no sign of him, and the word of the accident was flashed to officials. Men were called from all paris of the big plant and did everything possible. Police were soon on the scene and engaged in the rescue work. It was found {impossible to reach the man by working at the top of the pit, and gangs were set at work to cut into the narrow feed pipe at the bottom. A concrete wall was torn away and then the. steel burned. In a short time an open- ing of two feet square was made, and with all possible speed the work of dumping the 50-ton load started.

Collegiate | ~ Chatter The afternogn of Friday, the 14th, has been namfied and set' aside for the 'annual Commencement Exercises of the Oshawa Collegiate Institute. This is probably the most important of the school functions that take lace throughout the year and it is nol forward to with considerable interest by the students as well as by the parents and many citizens, The program, which is always ex- ceedingly interesting, will commence about 2 o'clock. As yet the chief speaker for the occasion, has not been obtained by Mr. O'Neill, the principal, but there will be the usual presentations of scholarships, diplo- mas, prizes and the athletic rewards. Last year the main address was dec- livered by Mr. Louis Blake Duff, of Welland, * 8 . Collegiate Frolie It will be remembered that on the svening of Commencement day last year the Collegiate Frolic was held. It was thought that due to the in- creased number of students now at- tending school it would be impossible to hold the frolic this year, but Mr. O'Neill has proposed that it be held again. It will serve, Mr. O'Neill believes, as an experiment to determine whe- ther or not it is possible to provide an evening of entertainment for 830 pupils together, However, if the at- tendance increases with next year as it has with this, it looks as if the 1928 O.C.I. annual frolic will be the last in history. . Executive Meets A meeting of the students' execu- tive was held yesterday afternoon and plans for 'the frolic program were nut under way. It is custom- ary for each "year" to provide one or more skits to be presented on the stage. In this way an interesting comical program is arranged. But that is not all. The centre of the auditorium floor is given over to the dance "addicts" While the more modest folk may find their pleasure in walking hand in hand with their lady or gentlemen friends in a general promenade which leads its way through twisting aisles and corridors galore. Then, of course, we must not forget the delight of "Ist formers"--refreshments-- which at all times are received by school kids in just one manner--what we mean and how! The frolic in' former years has proven a success and for those who seek it, a good, wholesome time is easily found there. Basketbal Basketball interest around the school has already taken firm root. Approximately 20 seniors and juniors have made their appearance and exhibited their ability at their respective. practices now being held three times a week. Only one of last year's senior regulars, Stuart Carver, is still with the team, while there are several subs ready to step into regular positions as well as some graduated juniors who are showing real form. The boys' athletic society has de- cided to buy new complete basketball outfits for the senior team. These outfits will be of striking color scheme combining the school colors, red, green and gold. The trunks will be red flannel with side stripes of the school's colors, while the jer- seys will be gold bearing in front a large letter O. * 5 8 The Juniors The junior basketeers, with all but two or three of last year's team still eligible, promises a winning line up. Girls Play Today : Today the girls' basketball team is playing the Scarboro High School team in the lattes's gym. The O. C.L girls have been at faithful prac- tice ever since their disasterous de- feat at the hands of thé Bishop Be- thune College a few weeks ago, and we call the score of today's game to be a great deal closer than the last if not the opposite, . Greeting Cards ; The students' executive supervised the choosing and ordering of the Collegiate Christmas greeting cards this week. The card chosen is of simple but artistic design bearing the school crest and colors. A con- siderably larger quantity of these cards has been ordered showing that the choice has been approved by the student body. 0 R-1-P In the dressing room following 2 senior. basketball work-out the other day, the players were discussing the "loudness" of the new uniforms, when suddenly some side liner passed the following remark: "That's all right, they gotta put classy outfits on a bush league team."--May he rest in FRENCHNAN WINS PRIZE FOR NOVEL Maurice Constantis- Weyer Was 12 Years in Mani- toba Paris, Dec. 7--The much-coveted Prix Gonecourt- has been awarded to Maurice Constantin-Weyer, of France, for his psychological novel "A man inclines towards his past," dealing with the Irish and French in Canada. Constantin-Weyer, who was a re- sident of Manitoba for 12 years, hunted, farmed and travelled wide- ly in North America. He returned to Fraice at the outbreak of the war and was ded in 53 pl in 1917. He hobbled back into ser- vice with two canes to tank ser- vices, was wounded three . times again and then was in a hospital luntil 1920, when he returned to Canada and found all his posses- sions gone, presumably stolen. Returning to France he then took up work as a provincial newspaper- man. LIQUOR EXPORT TO 11S. NOT ILLEGAL D ep a rtmental Authorities Say Present Law Per- mits Transfer Ottawa, Dec. 7. -- Whatever changes may be suggested or re- garded as desirable in the law as it stands at present, there is now nothing which makes illegal the ex- port of liguor from Canadian dis- tilleries to the United States, al- though the importation of this com- modity in that country is illegal. Such is the position taken by de- partmental authorities here at a time when there is a move for an alteration in the anti-smruggling treaty and even some talk of the United States indicting Canadian distillers and seeking their extri- dition. to undergo prosecution, The present law was framed many years ago. At the time a' somewhat similar enactment pre- 'vailed in the United States each country was wet. In war time the United States went in for prohi- ¥ bition and is still continuing that "noble experiment." Canada also, in degree adopted prohibition al- though the effectiveness of it was open to, question and when the war was over, the war measure ordin- ance on the subject was repealed. Since then, the provinces have ad- opted the Government sale. system while there is no appreciable re- striction on distilling and brewing. Now the United States--still dry-- claims that the major part of its problem is not through imports from "rum rows' off its coast but from across the far flyng Canadian border particularly 'those parts where a mavigable water is the 'boundary line. ' Must Follow Law. While the argument is advanced that it is not a proper thing for one country to countenance the ex- port of a commodity prohibited from admission to another, the. position taken by officials here is that they must follow the law as it is and until Parliament sees fit to change it. So long as the duty is paid liq- uor or anything else can be export- ed from Canada to United States as to any other country. It is claim- ed that while distMlers attend to the export papers, the transactions are all in Canada. The liquor is made her, sold delivered and pa'd for here and the purchaser assum- es whatever risk attaches to at- tempts to land it in the States. Nothing in the law, is said to pre- vent the legal clearance of liquor laden vessels to the United States. Any changes in the existing treaty. which may result from the suggested conference on the sub- ject with the 'Washington author. ities will not supersede the general law regarding export trade unless Parliament should see fit to alter that law: It applies to all countries and there is no distinction between the export of a barrel of liquor aud a barrel of eels. In the light or dis- gupiong and developments in tie last year, a parliamentary debut on the subject next session seems likely. The suggestion that a Cana- dian distiller could be indicted in the United .States and extradicted for prosecution is not taken ser- iously having regard to the law as it stands. py Resembling a small motorcycle, a child's bicycle has been invented with a side car to carry a second passenger, Cookery Hint: If there is a small boy in. the house, always order double the amount of ingredients needed for the Christmas cake. -- Hamilton Spectator. LONDON BOY HAS BAD IDEA OF JOKE London, Ont, Dec. 7.--Stanley Wyllie, of Wonderland, an eleven- year-old lad who came from Scotland three months ago, threw passengers into a panic Thursday when he brandished a revolver in the face of motorman Arthur Rockett, on a one-. man Springbank car and then fired. The weapon was: evidently 'loaded with a blank cartridge but the burn- ing powder seared Rockett's face, nearly blinding. him. He was at- tended by Dr. F. R. Clegg. The boy proceeded to Riverview school, where he described the shooting as a hold- up joke that went wrong. Not Toy Pistol He said he borrowed the revolver from another boy named "Scotty," but: when he pulled the trigger he though it was only a cap pistol. He shou" d to Rockett "Hands up, want your money," and Rockett, see- ing the gun and not especially the holder of it, threw up his hands as the charge was blown in his face. The juvenile court authorities have the matter under investigation. .
