again, there is difficulty in avoiding it.Bladder weakness, most folks call! it, because they can\u2019t control urination.While it is extremely annoying ami sometimes very painful, this is really one of the most simple ailments to overcome.Get about four ounces of Jad Salts from your pharmacist and take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast, continue this for two or three days.Thia will neutralize the acids in the urin& so it no longer Is a source of irritation to the bladder and urinary organs which then act normally again.Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless, and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lith-ia, and is used by thousands of folks who are subject to urinary disorders caused by uric acid irritation.Jad, Salts is splendid for kidneys and causes no bad effects whatever.Here you have a pleasant, effervescent lithia water drink, which quickly,! re)ib»'»4 Dad dor UwuLU,\t< ^ Form shkrbkoukk dAiivy kkaajkd, Wednesday, march 22, 1910.The standard Canadian food vS TOASTED CORN FLAKES For the business man or workman.CA UTION:\u2014No other cereal food is manufactured by us.Only our celebrated Corn Flakes.10c.a package.At all Grocers.\u201cMADE IN CANADA\u2019» The Battle Greek Toaited Corn Flake Company, Limited LONDON, ONTARIO.CANADA CITY NEWS It7 Duncan s Limited '\u2018The Special Order'\u2019 Y OU owe it to your Business and Social Life to wear Clothes that denote good taste and sound judgment.Though it be but a \u201clook around,\u201d we should like you to set aside an early date and spare a brief hour to look at the new Semi-ready designs.We promise you that it will be a pleasant duty.Semi-ready Tailoring represents the many new ideas in wholesale custom tailoring.If you cannot find just what you want we can make just what you do want to Special Order and have it made to your measure in four days.The adorable Francis Bushman and Marguerite Snow, Metro, Oasino.| Mrs.C.B.Howard has gone to Montreal to spend a week with Mr.and Mrs.Fred Enright, Roslyn Ave.( Band !

The question was one of importance and must be dealt with in a practical manner, j it was one the Minister of Agriculture had given practical thought to! for some time, and the government would appreciate any suggestions from such an important body as the Associated Boards.RETURNED SOLDIERS.Mr.Mitchell dealt, also, with the question of looking after returned soldiers, to which the Federal and all the Provincial Governments had given serious conaideration.The military hospitals\u2019 commission at Ottawa had organized, under the direction of the Federal Government, and at a conference of the different provinces, some three or four months ago the question was gone into very thoroughly and completely.An agreement was x-eached to the effect that unwounded able-bodied soldiers would be looked after on their return by the provincial governments and the wounded and sick soldiers would be dealt with by the military hospitals\u2019 commission until their discharge \u2014 the soldiers, having been wounded In the service of the country, being looked upon as a federal charge.The Provincial Treasurer added that the commission in the Province of Quebec, of which Mr.J.K.Edwards is a member, was doing wonderful work on solid business lines and five hundred vacancies were waiting to be filled by returned soldiers.Naturally,, as the stream of returned soldiers increased, the work of the commission would become harder, said Mr.Mitchell, \u201cbut I can assure you that the government of which I have the honor to be a member, will do every-1 thing in its power to look after these men who have fought so nobly and well for their king and country.\u201d SHERBROOKE\u2019S M.L.A.SPEAKS.Mr.0.E.Therricn, M.L.A., in a very happy speech said that the spirit of co-operation existing among the members of the Associated Boards was worthy of special eulogy.When Sherbrooke did anything to help Richmond and Coaticook it helped itself, and when these towns helped Sherbrooke they also helped themselves, because the welfare of the j Eastern Townships\u2019 towns was inter-j related and dependent on each other.; The unity maintained at the meetings) of the Associated Boards was alone | sufficient to warrant the success of i any movement the organization1 might undertake.The efficiency of unity in promoting any scheme was strongly demonstrated in the recent campaign for the Patriotic Fund con-1 ducted in Sherbrooke.It was every day being demonstrated in the pre-j sent war, not only in the unity of thql Allies, but also in the unity of indi-1 vidual nations, and in the latter! sense Mr.Therrien pointed to: France which in the past had been looked upon as a nation of pleasure-seekers, but which was today an example of united application in the struggle for the maintenance of it-national life and traditions.HIS MAJESTY\u2019S TO-DAY AT 2.30 AND 8 P.M.D.W.GRIFFITH\u2019S With Big ¦ ¦ oi 30 PRICES Matinee .\t25c, 50c, 75c Night .50c, 75c, » 1.00 Box Scats.81.00 & $1.50 His Majesty\u2019s COMING ; Thursday and Friday Mrs.Leslie Carter In Her Greatest Success Du Barry In Six Farts.PREMIER TO-DAY !
