NOT TO KNOW
is NO EXCUSE
To Know How to Keep Wen Is Better
Than to Call in Doctor to yet Well.
Sickness Is Penalty Not an Accident

Sickness Is Penalty Not an Aecaoen!
One of the best and most depend.
able and important preventatives OF
getting sick, one OF the surest ways
Of keeping well is to form and man.
tain the exceedingly good habit Oh
regular, thorough, daily bowel evacu-
alton.
That is Natures, "best bet. You
should do your best to help Nature,
not hinder her in her efforts to keep
YOU well. With the best Of good in
tentions you may employ many me-
thods. Strong, drastic acting medic
inesthat force the bowels to act SIM
ply replace one evil by another evil.
1t may secure temporary acton but II
produces more than temporary ir-
ritation and other bad effects. Don't
judge by promise in selecting SIM
pie remedy to assist Nature. Per
Torrance is the true test. Take
Beecham's for example.
Over 70 years ago people began
to take Beecham's. Today millions
of reople all over the world take
Beecham's, recommend Beecham's to
their friends, hand the use Of Beech
ANS down from father TO son or
from mother to daughter for gener-
alton after generation. That means
much. You never hear any unfavor-
able criticism or complaint regarding
Beecham's. That means much =
not more. 1t takes real merit to
withstand the tests Of time and trial.
You can do much to help Nature
keep you we'll by keeping a box OF
Beechan's in the house, ready for
use at the first warning of disorder
or arrangement. All druggists
sell Beecham's--are glad to sell
Beecham's.

rused TO comment on the statement
OF the British chancellor of the exche-
quer, ], Austen Chamberlain, in an al
dress at Birmingham, England, that
the United States government refused
to accept British government proposal
that the inter-Allied debts arising from
the World war be Cancelled.
No officials here are aware, it ap-
pears, that the British government had
ever, through any official channel, pro-
posed remission or cancellation of
the British war debt to the United
States. Great Britains Indebtedness
of about $4,000,OOO,O0O is far larger
than that of any other of the Allied
countries, but this is explained by the
fact that Great Britain herself was a
creditor country, and had disbursed
American funds to her other allies.

Assemblyman Summerville In
Producing Bills to Eliminate
Present County Board Sys-
tenn and Town Treasurers

Following the meetings at Weyer
haeuscr Saturday, Jan. %. and at Con
rath. Tuesday of last week the biggest
meeting held TO date was at Bruce Sat
urday afternoon followed by big
meeting at Sheldon Saturday evening
The number of taxpayers who at
tended the Bruce meeting was esti-
mated at 400.
\ large, hall was packed and stand
ing room was at Il premium.
The committee from LadySmith was
O. a. SCrgcnt, chairman of the Tax
payers Protest League: H. T.. McGill.
Ben French, NJ. A. Peoples. Il. Rear
don and NJ. o. Emmons These men
made the opening talks and were fol-
lowed by l.. w. Ham and \. G. KrauSe.
Of Bruce. after which the meeting was
thrown open for general discussion.
The program Of ten points presented
by the Real Estate Board Committee
was discussed and passed on by the
meeting.
Not II vote was received in OppOSi-
ton to any of the tax reduction meas
ureS proposed.
This was no doubt the largest meet
ing Of its kind ever held in the state
and was composed principally Of farm
or taxpayers
These men came to register q protest
against the present system Of local gov
eminent and excessive expenditure OF
public money.
These meetings have all gone on rec
ord as being opposed TO either the
county or the state forcing something
onto the people that they did not want
and could not afford to pay for They
are bitterly opposed to the spending
of $4,000 on Il short piece of road
which is now in good condition and
S3J.OO0 on the pixies of the east end of
the county while at the same time a
large number Of the settlers Of the
county are obliged to put up with high
ways leading from their farms that
are practically impossible for weeks
ut q time.
They are also opposed TO maintain
ing Il large army of officials. when the
same work can be done, and is being
done in other states. more efficiently
and economically with much small
or number.
They are opposed to the present state
and county aid system which is a spe
cicS of bribery forcing the towns and
the county to overburden themselves
with taxes in order OF avoid helping to
pay FOR roads and officials in other
towns and counties.
The program being adopted at these
meetings has the hearty support Of our
aSscmblyman ID. ]. Summerville.
He concludes by saying that it is the
system more than the men that needs
changing.

us liable TO a misconception of our
motive"
I'm making them," he added, I'VE
sought no national advantage for our
selves. We proposed solution in
which we should have foregone claims
larger than RENTED to us and we
proposed it because We believed it
would be in the interests of good re,a-
lions among peoples, the rehabilita-
tion of national credit and the restora-
ton of international trade
Our great international debt is due
to the obligations we undertook on
behalf of our Allies. If we had mad
only ourselves to consider we should
have been virtually free of external
debt at the present time"
Mr. Chamberlain prefaced his re-
marks by saying he would have. pre-
ferred at the close of the war that
the whole inter-allied debt had been
Cancelled, so as to start with a clean
slate. There was no proposal for a
settlement of the international debt
among the Allied and Associated
powers, whether for total or partial
remission. which the British govern
ment would not have been prepared
to be a party to, he declared
No Official Proposal Recalled.
