WINDSOR BANK
| CLERK DROWNED
Edward J. Weir Loses Life in River
When Canoe Upsets; Companion
Saved.

Edward j. Weir, clerk In the Domin
ion bank. Windsor, was drowned In
the river at Askin's point, about mile
above VAUDEVILLE, Sunday noon. while
swimming ashore after the capsizing OF
his canoe. He was seized with heart
failure or cramps and went down be-
fore assistance could reach him. The
body was recovered a couple Of hours
later. Word of his death was sent
to his father, who lives In Calgary,
Alberta. and his two sisters, one living
In Toronto, Ont, and the other In Brit
ish Columbia. Weir roomed over the
bank. His former home was in Lon
don, Ont. He was 10 years old.
Weir, accompanied by George
Braund, craftsman for the j. <. Bolles
Co.. Detroit, started out from the
shore In a canoe. When the craft
struck the channel, the swift current
capsized II, causing the occupants to
tumble out. Braund couldn't swim very
well and he chung to the canoe, yelling
for help. Herman Zimmerman and
Charles Fahndrick, OF Windsor. who
were fishing from a launch, about 100
yards away, heard Brands cries and
got TO him In time to save him.
Weir didn't wait for assistance. He
was able TO swim and struck OF for the
shore. After he had gone few yards
he suddenly sank and failed to come
up again.
"Weir's friends said after the drown
Ing that he had a weak heart; that he
was recently unable to pass medical
examination on that account" said
Braund to The Times, Monday morn
ing. Il knew nothing OF his heart re-
Ing weak. He and had known each
other for some time, both of US having
lived In London, and was on a visit
to him over Sunday He and some
other boys were camping on the river
front. just where the car turns to go
to Tecumseh. went over Saturday
night.
"Weir's home used to be In Toronto,
but he lived In London some time be-
fore coming to Windsor, being In the
Dominion bank In London. He has
a brother, druggist, living In Eureka,
N. Y. near Rochester"
II was at Askin's point, where a
teamster and boy lost their lives, last
spring, when the man drove his team
into the channel, presumably to fright
en- the boy, who had "hitched" on.

A few 'CASCARETS'
CURE CONSTIPATION
Pleasant, egentIe, though the most
effective remedy In the world for
sluggish bowels or lazy liver.

In the old days physic was dreadful
-calomel, castor oil, salts or cathar-
tics. And they were worse than they
seemed, for they irritated the stom-
ach and bowels. They acted much as
pepper acts in the nostrils. They
flooded the bowels with fluids. But
those fluids were digestive juices.
And waste today means lack to-
morrow You secured relief, but you
were actually worse OF than without
It.
It's different with Cascarets. Their
effect is the same as that of laxative
foods, or of exercise. They stimulate
the bowels to natural action. No
gripping. They act as bowel tonic
The old way, too. was to take large
doses of physic. People waited until
the bowels were clogged. The new
way Is to take one Cascaret when
you need It. Carry the box in your
pocket or purse. Ward OF the trou-
bles instantly. The modern plan is
to keep at your best. The old way
wasted too many good hours. Get a
10-cent box Of Cascarets now.

coming to the grounds will be dis
charged at the entrance gates as usual,

OF the railway yards. Just In front of
the new motor building, where new
loading platform hao been built. This
Is an inclosed space about a thousand
feet long. with a covered shelter sta
ton, loo by % feet. There are IL
turnstiles and passengers will pay
their fares as they pass through. Thus
there is no chance for the company to
miss any nickels and the men In
charge OF the turnstiles will be able to
regulate the loading of the cars, thus
eliminating the free-for-all scramble
which used to attend the loading pro-
cess under the old plan.
To the state fair grounds on all oc-
casions except the fair itself the regu-
lar fare Of 10 cents will be charged.
but passengers, on the payment of
the second fare, are entitled to a
transfer. good for transpor-
tation as far as Palmer Park on the
return trip, and they will thus save a
nickel. A separate turnstile will be
provided for passengers going only TO
Palmer Park from the fair grounds.

"zallah, the Dancing Venus" il
the leading attraction at the Aveuue

10 Detroit burlesque patrons and 10
always a favorite- In spite OF the
heat, large audience turned out to
Sundays performance. The Travel
ers Stock Co.," managed by t. w.
DinkiEs. Is furnishing the Avenue
with burlesQue during the ummer
months, and IL apparently keeps Mr..
Dinkins busy getting up new stunts.
He has two companies on the road,
which shift between Detroit and
Cleveland.
This weeks show Is much better
than last weeks. Matt Kennedy, the
leading comedian does better work
than George Wilson, who stars In the
other half OF the stock company. Ken
nedy received much applause from
the audience when he passed out
large scuttles OF beer to several Of
his friends In the crowd.
The first burlesque Is entitled "A
Modern Venus" and deals with the
surprising adventures of q certain
Squire Brown who visits the studio
of a French sculptor with the inten-
ton OF purchasing a Venus Reta
Lorraine. In the olio, does some good
work In sketch entitled The Devil
Claims His Own" Miss Lorraine
possesses considerable dramatic abil-
ity and is rather out of place Ia q
burlesQue company.
The second half of the burlesque
is entitled Lifting the Lid and gives
Matt Kennedy chance to exploit his
ability as comedian. In some places
the comedy gets a trifie too broad.

Vitality of Microbes.

There Is a popular impression that
microbes and germs of all kinds are
killed by intense cold Experiments in
the laboratory of Dewar, the man who
solidl6ed hydrogen, show, however.
that this impression IS erroneous.
Many forms of bacteria were subject
ed TO the tremendous cold OF liquid
air for an entire week without inter
ruption. yet afterward they developed
as vigorously as they would have done
II they had not undergone so frosty
an experience.
Macfadycn and Rowland reported TO
the Royal society that bacteria sub
jecied to the temperature Of liquid
hydrogen for ten hours showed no al
teraton as regards vitality. The
temperature OF liquid hydrogen. they
say. is about one-quarter that Of liquid
air. just rs the temperature OF liquid
air Is about one-quarter Of the mean
temperature Of the atmosphere This
result IS obtained by considering that
liquid hydrogen Is about 20 degrees c.
above absolute zero. liquid air about
80 degrees above. and ordinary air, on
the average. about 300 degrees above.

Protecting Water Pipes.

It is we'll known that underground
pipes are injured. not when stray cur
rents enter them. but when they leave
them. Such being the case. the city OF
Karlsruhe. In Germany, has used a
system which will prevent stray cur
rent from leaving the pipe. \ set Of
plates and pipes are buried close to the
water pipe at the points where electro
lysls IS liable to occur and these are
connected to the positive pole Of a
storage battery or generator while the
water pipe Is connected 10 the negative
pole. As the voltage of the stray cur
rents that produce clectrolysls Is usu.
ally quite low. the expenditure Of
power required to maintain the requi.
site current in the water pipe Is no,
costly. So far this system has proved
very efficient.
