BID -â€"ANDâ€" HEADFORD One of the remarkable features in the realm of sport in recent years has been the come-back staged by the time honored game of “Horseshoes.” Our grandfathers and great-grand- fathers played it in their leisure hours with little thought that years after it would become the popular game that it' is toâ€"day with extensive tourna- ments extensive rules and regulations and with much space devoted to it in the press. Horseshoe Pitching Contest Feature At Richmond Hill Fair on May 24th The game has become immensely popular in recent years and in every village, town and hamlet there are many enthusiasts. Last year a very successful tournament was conducted at the Royal Winter Fair with con- testants from all parts of Ontario. A‘ small contest held at the Provincial Plowing Match at the Municipal Farm last year attracted much attention. Recognizing the popularity of the game, the officers and directors of the Richmond Hill Agricultural Society have decided to stage a monster tournament at the annual fair here on May 24. Sixty dollars will be given‘ in prizes and it is expected that there will be entries from all parts of York County. The entry fee will be one dollar per~team and the contest will commence sharp at 1 o’clock daylight saving time. Mr. J. Lockie Wilson the managing director of the Ontario Fairs and Exhibitions Association will throw the first shoe in the tourn- ament. We have had so many enquiries from all sections of the district con- cerning the rules and regulations that we publish the following extracts from the official rules and regulations which will be in effect for the compe- tition. Any further particulars deâ€" Sired may be secured by applying to )the committee in charge; James Mc- Lean, E. T. Stephens, J. S. McNair, Frank Harrison. ~ I.

IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE IN THE LIBERAL greater fieed-“Power-flmuty- "Establishing a New S‘tand‘ard'in lfutamobiles” DAVID HILL, E Rugby Trucks, Four and Six Cylinders; Capacity 1 ton and 1% tons Diphtheria is caused by the poison] or toxin produced by the diphtheria germs lodged in the human body, us- ually in the throat and nose. When this toxin attacks the body. ythe. latter seeks to protect itself, an,d it does so by producing diptheria an- titoxin or antiâ€"poison, which counter- acts or neutralizes the toxin. If this occurs quickly enough and a sufficient quantity is produced, the body wins and recovery results. Not only does recovery take place but something happens inside this human body which enables it. in most cases, to prevent a second attack of the disease, Can protection similar to that con- ferred by one attack of the actual disâ€" ease be gained without the danger of death and without fear of the Asuffer- ing that comes with the disease? The ianswer is "Yes". Diphtheria can be prevented by the injection of diphtheria toxoid or toxin antitoxin. This method is known as diphtheria immunization. The injec- tions stimulate the body to produce the substances which are the fighting I forces against diphtheria. These substances are not developed at once; it takes several weeks for this to ocâ€" 1cur, but after the development has taken place, the person is immunized or protected against diphtheria, just as he would have been had he had an _attack of the disease. The menace of diphtheria can be eliminated. Lives can be saved and suffering prevented. Ask your fami- ly physician to give your children this protection by immunizing them a- gainst diphtheria.
