ed.
Charles Powers of BroWnville, chief
fire warden for the Canadian Pacific
Railway sent the following commune
cation to the forestry commissioner:
"All track and operating men are edu-
Gated to watch for and handle any
fires which may come within their
territory. 1t is a well known fact that

fires
Chief Warden f. H. Decker of Ches-

"The lookout men made much needed
improvements on their trails, tele-
phones and camps during the rainy

very efficient manner which made il
possible to discontinue any extended
service to the commissioned patrol
thus saving a considerable sum OF
money which otherwise would have
been spent in the maintenance of more
patrolmen."

Teaching is wearing work, and only!
those teachers who take good care OF

any chances Of its getting worse, be-
cause il you do the child may be laid
up sick and you will have a lot Of
worry and doctors bills.
Best way to rid the child Of the cold
is to give it a few drops Of Johnson's
Anodyne Liniment on teaspoonful OF
sugar. Give it about every four
hours. The children like 1t, too! And
it sure does stop a cold quick.
You've heard Of Johnson's Anodyne
Liniment probably ever since you were
child yourself.
Maybe you didn't know that the
recipe was discovered by a doctor, old
Doctor Abner Johnson. Yankee doc
tor. down in Maine.
He made it to stop pain and increase
the circulation. It's so safe you take
it inside for cold or rub 1t on outside
to stop pain. And it does the work.
So whenever you need liniment for
anything use Johnson's Anodyne Lini-
ment. You can buy it most any place
where medicine is sold.-Adv.
