There, ‘just 'by the ulcer on the side of his tongue, 'is a broken tooth. That is What made the sore place. The den- tist must ‘set that right at once, so that the 'tooth may be smooth and safe and comfortable to his tongue.

THE BATTLE AGAINST CANCER "EARLY TREATMENT All cancers have a beginning, usu- ally a very small beginning. Here is a moleâ€"a dark brown, flat spot on the 'cheek. The outline is someâ€" ~What round, the size is rather small. 'But the person begins to notice in the canned time that the spot is growing larger and seems softer. It seems a simple thingâ€"nothing to be afraid about. Perhaps notâ€"but ex- perience has taught the medical pro- ‘fession that this is often the way :a cancel-begins and when the mole grows larger and softer it means vdanger. How is it going? aO'ur chief gains against the enemy are'three: 1. EARLY TREATMENT 'The confident knowledge that early treatment is often succesdfinl. 2. SPECIAL CAUSES The discovery of how some Can- cers are caused, thus showing how to prevent these cancers. 3. ‘RADIUM and Xâ€"RAYS The use of radium and x-rays as an aid to surgery in destroying can- cerous growths without harming the healthy, tissues.

KANE TINSMI’I'HING FURNACES - PLUMBING HEATING 1849 Yonge St. (east side) Between Mertan 83 Balliol Sts. RICHMOND HILL Dealers in Sid recognized her. It was Olga. Of all the women in the world this was the last one he wanted to meet. She was the girl that his only son Tom wanted to marry. He had fought it tooth and nail. What had brought him on this road was that he was dickering on the quiet to buy up the’ mortgage on Olga’s father’s farm.‘ When he owned it, it was his intend tion to foreclose and force the fam- ily out of tawn. By this method he hoped to finally get rid of Olga. Sid’s principal objection was that her father and mother were foreigners. Sid was a stickler for the old stoek of the countryside keeping together when it came to marriage. “What are you stopping for?” he Toared. “Hey,” Sid called gruff‘.v,. “wlmf are you stoppim: for? Don’t you know that you have got to get out of here quick? That dam’s out!” He couldn’t see the road now. Muddy water covered it a foot. But he knew if he gave Minnie her head he could trust her to keep in the wagon tracks. It was one of the times Sid thought when a horse had it over a car. The womah heard and her head came out. She looked back. “0h, hello Mr. Wilkins!” She appeared aclm and collected. Suddenly Sid’s dilemma was solv- ed for him. He saw a covered buggy that he had missed before. Maybe the steam from the river had hidden it. It was about half a mile out on the Flats and not moving. ‘ “What’s the darn fool waiting for?” Sid said to himself. Then it came to him that the driver might be a woma1., maybe frightened and confused. He pulled at his greying moustache and clucked to Minnie to go forward again. The water was to the floor boards of the wagon as Sid came up with the buggy. He could see her hat through the glass in the rear curtain of the top. “I didn’t stop," said Olga slowly. “It was the horse. I can’t make him go ahead. Maybe he knows more about it than I do and the road is washed out in front.” “Well, we can’t turn around here,” Sid growled. “The road’s too nar- row. We’ll have to unhitch and swim the horses ashore.” “You mean leave the wagons Sid looked ahead and pulled the reins to bring his horse to a stop. He wanted to think things over be- fore venturing on the Flats. By this time he was fully convinced the dam was out. The river was coming up so fast that the road in front was completely under water. From where he was he could get to higher ground if he unhitched the mare and abanâ€" doned the wagon. It would mean losing that and getting a cold duck- ing in the broad ditch. But that would be a lot better than being caught in case the river beat him on the crossing. "Sid Wilkins thought the riverâ€"it :ran beside the road he travelledâ€" .was coming up faster than any or- dinary spring "freshet would ever make it. River and road wound their way at the bottom of a deep narrow valley and there were three miles ryet ahead before Sid would come to a cross.road Where he could take to higher ground and safety. He listened to the constant grow- ing roar of the mountain stream and didn‘t like it. The little river that looked to visitors in summer time so harmless and picturesque was a growing menace. Down on the road Where Sid was the walls of the hills intensified its voice and made him remember the dam up at West Ben; ton. It had broken once, years ago and several teams had been trapped just about where he was. Sid slapp- ed the reins on the'back of his mare, Minnie, to urge her to travel faster. The stretch ahead was the part Sid dreaded. It was 'known as the Flats, a section where the river val- ley widened. Here the stream took on one side against the edge of the hills and flat level grass land stretched from it to the rising ground on the other. These flats were covered by water during an ordinary rise of the river and the road, throwrh their centre had been raised till it reached a level five or six feet above the surrounding land, much like a railroad crossing. However, Minnie was doing her best and ‘Sid 'knew it. It had rained for three days and the frost had come from the ground fast to make ‘heavy going. The wheels sank deep the spokes cbm-ing up with m‘ud, clutching and clinging like heavy molasses. In that north country, when snow came ’the farmer’s cars were run under 'the barn till spring came. Only the main highways be~ bi‘les. g By B. M. Savage 9 __ _ . . . here?” gasped 01g& “1 am not goâ€" "Sid Wllkms 'fimught the fiverâ€"1t ing to do that.

Sid heard her shoe‘ strike rock and knew the mare hadi .run on to the only boulder on the‘ Flats. He tried to pull her away from it but Minnie was so frantic‘ to get something solid under her feet again. She pawed at the rock, half’ succeeded in getting on to it, despite Sid’s efforts. Then she slipped; Fighting her rider and the slippery rock at the same time was too much‘ for Minnie. Another slip and she‘ rolled completely over. Horse and' rider went under and Minnie came‘ up without Sid. Themare was wait; ing for no one now. She struck for‘ the bank with redoubled speed. ' Sid’s head came up at once. His’ heavy clothing and shoes weighed' him dovm. Anyway he couldn’t swim.‘ He had pretty, near decided that the‘ river had him when an arm went‘ around his neck. In a couple of seconds more he was: gasping air into his tortured lungs. For a flash he saw the heads of the horses quite a ways off. Then he was towed' around so he couldn’t even see the bank. He knew that Olga had him‘ and that with the two of them in‘ their clothing it was an almost im- possible job for the girl. They were hardly making headway. ' “Don’t try to hang on to me,” Sid‘ yelled when he had air enough in' his lungs so he could. “Keep quiet,” Olga fled. “We’ll make it back loose.” They splashed together and the’ horses made for the bank without‘ guiding. “I bet he couldn’t afford to lese a daughter either,” Sid raved, his quick temper aroused at the girl’s stubborn tone. “Maybe the water will not come much higher,” said Olga soothing- 1y. “I was waiting hoping it would not!” Sid’s patience was gone. While he had been talking the water had come through, the floor beards and arOund his feet. “We ain’t got time to argue,” he yelled. “T'hat dam went out back in Eighty-two. The water got ten feet higher than what it is‘ now! Used to be able to see marks on the trees on the bankâ€"where the drift smashed into them. What she’s doing is filling up the meadows at Benton Centre. When it gets them flooded it’s going to come through' hear tearing. Start unhitching. Get that horse out of the shafts. Be sure too to see the tugs are tied ‘into the harness and blankets. Help if the britching good. We can save [you want!” ‘ “Well, let’s go,” said Sid. “Grab your horse by the mane and don’t,4 be frightened. The water will came‘ to your neck and be plenty cold.”l Olga laughed. “DOn’t worry I could‘ swim without the horse if I had to.” “It was humiliating to Sid to have this girl, after what he had done,‘ saving his life. A piece of timber came floating by. He had an idea: With a wrench he freed himself from Olga’s arm. He tried to splash his way to the wood but his fingers‘ just missed. That was the last he remembered except he knew he went under again. “Don’t you know the be out?” Sid called. 'wouldn’t come up this wasn’t.” “I thought something like that might have happened. But let’s wait’ maybe it won’t get much higher." Olga was anything but frightened at the river. ‘ There are three things we can do," said Sid. “We can go up the road or down, till we come closer to the" bank or strike off here. I think' striking off is the best. The water is getting deeper fast.” “Whatever you say, Mr. Wilkins," said Olga mildly. “Yes Mr. Wilkins,” came from in front of the buggy. I am on him, Mr. Wilkins. I’m‘ waiting for you!” There was a fire burning. Sid found himself propped against a rock. The girl was across from him watching. Sid studied her. She had’ pulled him out after all. It was cer- tain what she started she finished. SL1] "Hurry!" was Sid’s exasperated’ order and he splashed into the watfi er and started to free Minnie. “Well I guess you can get on him. You can almost float on.” Sid felt) reluctant about offering to help Olga‘ mount. » Sid rode Minnie around in front? of the buggy. ‘ “Got your horse out Olga?” called Sid. ~ LIBERAL. RICHMOND HILL, ONTARIO replied unrufâ€" easy. Jus-t Iay‘ dam way must river if it She wasn’t dumpy looking either, like some of those other women who worked in the fields. Tom’s mother, he remembered had been built a good deal like her when she 'had been Olga’s age. Maybe he had been do- ing wrong by the girl! ‘ “How in thunder di‘ that fire?” Sid asked tr his change of feelings ing in his voice. Olga’s reply was to hold up a‘ water-proof match box. Like many other outdoors men, who like to fish and hunt, Sid always carried it. “I found a few shotgun shells in your pocket too,” said Olga. “I took the powder from them and the driest leaves I could find.” “How did you know that I had that match box?” Sid demanded. “Mr. Wilkins,” Olga looked at Sid calmly. “It doesn’t make any diff- erence whether you raise ruckshuns or not, I am holding on to Tom; just “0h, Tom told me you always car- ried it. Tom tells me everything.” “Tom, hugh,” growled Sid. “Sure Tom, he always talks too much.” Then Sid was sorry. He hadn’t meant it the way he saw Olga was taking it. “Don’t worry,” he hastened. “I ain’t going to raise any more ruck- shuns about you and Tom. I know you have it in you now.” as I held on to his father out there in the water.” Sid breathed again when he saw the good-natured light in her eyes. “Yes I guess you will,” he grinned. HOME IMPROVEMENT PLAN IS POPULAR IN ONTARIO Ontario home owners are leading the rest of Canada in taking advan- tage of the Home Improvement Plan to modernize their dwellings, accord- ing to figures secured by the local committee. The increase in business done under the loan in all Canada during the first half of last month was approximame 26 per cent.‘ Dur- ing the period business in Ontario increased over 40 per cent. Ontario’s lead in the drive to improve business and domestic living conditions is re- flected by the fact that the Prov- ince, with 33 per cent. of the Domin- ion population, has taken 36 per cent of the RIP. loans made in Canada. V Olga smiled her slow way. It made Sid hold his breath. Norfolk Masonic Lodge No. 10 at Simcoe, Ont. celebrated its 125th an- niversary on June 8th.

It was filmed exactly as Shakespeare wrote it and intended: it to be played. “Adapting ‘Romeo and Juliet’ was a relatively simple task for it is written in almost perfect scenario form. The plays of Shakespeare’s day bear a remarkable resemblance to the motion picture of today. Their action was continuous, and played without pause, even between acts. Scenery was virtually non-existent. “Later, many of Shakespeare’s contemporaries made radical changes in their own versions of ‘Romeo and- Juliet.’ Many of the shorter but essential scenes were cut out alto- gether because of expensive scenery requirements and the necessity of shortening the play with the innova- tion of intermissions after each act, and often between scenes. A traveller was the father of a small family, which he was rarely able to see because he was away from home so much. One night, however, he was to stay home and take care of them while his wife was absent. “To carry out Shakespeare’s dra- matic construction on the screen it was only necessary to write in panto- mimic backgrounds which speed the action of the play on, without pause, to its tragic climax, as Shakespeare designed it. His wife asked him if he met with any difficulty. “Oh,” he said, “I got them all to bed 0 K except that little red-headed one. I had'to spank her before she’d1 go." “Why, James,” his wife exclaimed. “that isn’t our child; she lives across the street.” Dominion Day Celebration at Maple July. lst.
