NOT SALTS AND
 PILLS. 'CASCARETS'
If Constipated, Bilious, Headacly, Stomach Sour, Get a 10 Cent Box of Gas carets- Take One Tonight

You men and women who can't get feeling right-who have headache coated tongue, foul taste and foul breath, dizziness, can't sleep, are bil- ious, nervous and upset, bothered with a sick, gassy, disordered stoar1- ach, or have back-ache and feel worn out.
 Are you keeping your bowels clean with Cascarets or merely forcing a passageway every few days with salts, cathartfc pills or castor oil :? This is important
 Csacarets work while you sleep; cleanse and regulate the stomach rem owe the sour, undigested and fer menting food and foul gases; take t. excess bile from the liver and carry out of the system all the constfpated waste matter and poison in the intes- tines and bowels.
 A Cascaret tonight will straighten you out by morning-a 1O-cent box from any drug store will keep your stomach sweet; liver and bowels reg ular and head clear for months Don't forget the children. They love Cas- carets because they taste good-do good-never gripe or sicken.-Adv.

WEALTHY FARMER ARRESTED FOR THE
 MURDER OF WIFE

F71esherton. Ont. Dec. 14-YieIdinE to the earnest plea of Henry Love, the Canadian authorities today granted him permission to attend the funeral of his wife, for whose murder he waRs arrested yesterday. In taking 5Icn action, the police are hoping to get some clue to a motive for the alleged crime which is the most mysterious in the criminal history of this town ship.
 Love is wealthy farmer and lived with his wife and 14-year-oId son on the outskirts of the town. Last We'd nesday night the body of the woman, who had apparently been dead several days, was found in the cellar of the house. Investigation by the authOrf- ties followed.
 They put Love through the third degree and discovered that he had not left the house but had continued his daily tasks as if nothing had happen ed. The son was unable to throw any light on the matter and were detained with his father by the police who preferred charge of murder against Love.
 The dead woman was of religious disposition and it is known that she had frequent q1Iarrels with her bus band because she objected to his smoking.

These rates represent downward revision of from to 25 per cent. The free list under the Underwood bill includes iron ore, hoop and band iron barbed wire, fence wire, cut and wrought nails, tungsten ores, and a few other items.
 One of the questions which has not been fully decided in either Eng fish or Continental practice is wheth- CT the worm should be mounted above or below the gear. There are two reasons for this uncertainty on the part of designers. The first is the fact that when the worm is below the gear fabrication is easy. The oil being in a pool in the lower half of the housing is generally of sufficient depth to submer the point of con tact between worm and gear teeth. The advantages of this are readily apparent. Wear is reduced to min imum, the worm is rendered, if pos. sible. even more silent in it's action and the length of life Of the bearing parts fsfs indefinitely extended. On the other hand, however, there is the question of road clearance. Foreign practice while less exactfng in this respect than American, still calls for at least minimum of inches.
