This New Amazing Way

By far the largest selling cough
medicine in all Canada is Buckley's
CANADIOL Mixture now being
made in U. S. A. Compounded from
rare Canadian Pine Balsam (by a
secret process) Buckley's is entirely
different from anything else you
ever tried. It's extra fast for Dad
yet gentle and mild for Mother
and the little ones. Get a bottle
today-take a sip or two then swal-
low slowly, instantly you feel it's
thru throat, head and bronchial
tubes. Coughing spasm eaces.
Right away it loosens up thick
choking phlegm-opens up clogged
bronchial tubes-makes breathing
easier. At Gardner Pharmacy,

Unusually Rapid Loan
Payments Reported
By Savings League

Building and loan association,
In the United States Savings ant
Loan League had the unprece.
dented sum of nearly $1,000 ,000, ,00t
available for loans to patrons ant
the Government in the first hal
of this year, Morton Bodfish, leagu,
vice president, reported today tt
the District members. ~
Out of 1881 ,4l1,000 available
$545 ,045, 900 came from the very
rapid repayments of loans and the
other $406 1866 900 from investors In
the various associations, he said
Payments by borrowers were Is
per cent greater than in the like
l943 period, the rapidity Of wartime
reduction in personal debts being
surprising.
The money from investing men,
bers was SO per cent ahead of last
year in the six months and SUBJ
stantially larger than in the first
half Of 1941, which represented thu
high point since the depression
Mr.. Bodfish said.
The associations loaned $69l, :
147,000 to home buyers, builders
and modernizers and put $3.50, 900,
900 in Government bonds, the re-
port added.

nounceS that the steady rider ol
streetcars and buses who buys g
$l25 pass each week, uses it or
the average of a little more thar
80 times week, making the aver.
age cost per ride just over 4 cents
The more casual rider finds il
more economical to buy three
tokens for 25 cents, while the
periodic rider usually pays most
the l0-cent cash fare. AS result
of traffic studies, Capital Transit
states that the average fare for al
revenue passengers totals 6.71 cents

their full support to Wilmer J
Waller, president of the Hamilton

Financiers say they will give the
same backing to Mr.. Waller that

president of the Second National
Bank, who as chairman of the
Third, Fourth and Fifth War Bond
drives had such brilliant success
In putting the quotas far over the
top. The sixth drive will start in
mid-November.
Higher Bank Deposits Seen.
The increase of S2,337 10000 in
time deposits in State banks in
l943 has led the ABA to predict
the likelihood of further eXpan-
sion but at a somewhat slower
pace in the future. The years
gain of $4,880.39l 900 in demand
deposits was also a new high rec
ord.
