AID STOMACH DIGEST FOOD WITHOUT LAXATIVES — AND YOU'LL EAT EVERYTHING FROM SOUP TO NUTS. The stomach should digest two pounds of food daily. When you eat heavy, greasy, coarse foods or when you are nervous, hurried or chey poor- ly — your stomach pours out too much fluid. Your food does'nt digest and you have gas, heartburn, nausea, | pain or sour stomach. You feel sour, | sick and upset all over. Doctors say never take a straight laxative for stomach pain. It is dan- gerous and foolish. Take World's Tonic, with alkalines, for indigestion to make the excess stomach fluids harm- less, relieve distress in a few minutes and put you back on your feet. Relief is so quick it is amazing and pne bottle of Warld’'s Tonic may prove it. World's Tonic contains a goodly portion of roots and herbs gathered from various parts of the old countries where many of us and most of our ancestors originally came from.

HARBOR GRACE, NEWFOUND- LAND.—Newfoundland’s strangest ‘story of the sea was told here. Forty years ago Captain Barbour and his crew were ‘‘working seals” some hundred miles off the New- foundland coast. At nightfald, when the sealers re- turned aboard the steamer from the ice over which they had hunted during the day, they reported seeing another vessel—not a sealer. The vessel was sinking and was caught hard and fast in the drifting ice floes, writes S. L. Sheppard in the Chicago Tribune. Captain Barbour started his ship in the direction the seal hunters had indicated. At noon the next day, after heavy butting and pushing through the ice with his ship, the lookout in the crow’s nest reported there was no sign of a ship, but there appeared to be a crowd of men huddled on the ice. Pushes Ship Into Ice. Captain Barbour pushed his ship harder into the ice. Just before night again closed in he reached the marooned crew of the ship which the sealers had spied. The ship was gone, having been crushed in the ice and sent to the bottom, but Captain Mitchell, its skipper, and the 27 members of his crew had scrambled on to the ice before it sank. They were taken aboard the sealing steamer. Captain Barbour abandoned his sealing voyage and took the ship- wrecked men into St. John’s, New- foundland. Now, 40 years later, comes the sequel. Capt. Ken Barbour, a son of the old sealing skipper, is a skipper in his own right now. He is in charge of the motor ship National IV. In it, with his crew, he left Fishing Ship Harbor, Labrador,” for St. John’s. Three miles off Battle island the ship’s tail shaft broke and jammed the rudder hard to starboard, leav- ing the helpless ship drifting toward shore. The vessel seemed doomed until the captain managed to run up a bit of head sail, all the canvas the ship carried. He worked the ship off into the traffic lane of ships passing in and out of the Strait of Belle Isle. The ship drifted for days. Seven passing ships failed to see its dis- tress signals, but the eighth reached the National IV and took off Capt. Ken Barbour and his crew. Though the rescue ship was rac- ing against time, its captain decided that, rather than sink the National IV he would change his course and tow the disabled ship into St. An- thony. Captain Barbour, as he thanked his rescuer, was astonished to learn that the latter’ s name was Captain Mitchell. “Why,” he cried, “‘in my home I have a large photograph of a Cap- tain Mitchell of Bristol. en to me by my father, who rescued Captain Mitchell from the ice 40 years ago.” “That,” Captain Mitchell replied, “must be a picture of my father. Often I’ve heard him speak of your father’s kindness.” ‘Spinsters’ Spree’ Jars Poise of University Men | MONTREAL.—McGill university coeds made many a male student blush during their ‘‘Sadie Hawkins week,” better known as the ‘‘Spin- It was giv- | PRESS CO UNIER, Thursday, Mageh 23, 1939. | SATURDAY, MARCH 25 ENDS | GABLE’S 55th ANNIVERSARY is our greatest sale day of the year. the last day as for the first day.

The baby is not conscious of wrong- doing. He is simply tendency. Almost all children have ane or two habits which are labeled “bad.” Parents should not permit any “bad” habit to become fixed. mee reacting to natural In many instances the breaking of these habits is worse than the habits themselves. “Breaking” is an unfortunate word in this connection for it implies stern methods where corrective methods should be used. Habits grow on a child. Habits cannot be broken. The child's spirit is more likely to be broken than is the habit. He should be led out of the habit or his interest diverted into some other channel. There are some necessary habits the child must learn. Weeks and months are spent jin training a child to perform certain daily and necessary functions. Just as much patience and time are required in diverting him from an un- | desirable habit.
