DIXIE ONLY 20° A BIG PLUG Assist Fur Farmers Amendments To Regulations Under Saskatchewan Fur Act Saskatchewan's legitimate fur farmers will receive relief . from royalty payments on farm-raised fur- bearing animals through amend- ments to the regulations under the Saskatchewan Fur Act, provided for by order-in-council. These regulations provide for no collection of royalties on silver black foxes, fisher or marten, bred on a licensed fur farm, and provides also for the rebate of all royalties collect- ed on all other furs except muskrat, where sufficient proof is provided that the pelts were from animals ac- tually raised on the farm. In the case of all furs, with the | exception of fox, fisher or marten, royalties are collected, and are sub- | Ject to rebate in a similar manner to | the way in which gasoline tax re- funds are made.

RHEUMATISM One Remedy for the Two Troubles Having rheumatism so badly that she could scarcely walk, this woman began to put on a load of superfluous flesh: In a letter just received, she writes:— “I had a severe attack of rheuma- tism in both knees. It was so bad that for three weeks I could not put my feet to the ground. I was also getting terribly fat—through not getting my usual exercise. I started taking Krus- chen, and perseyered. The first thing I noticed was the tonic effect it had; the next that my rheumatism went, and—better than anything—I lost the wretched fat. I am a woman of 50, and when I tell you I do exactly the same work as women half my age without the least difficulty, I think you will understand why I swear by Kruschen Salts and recommend them wherever I go,’—M. E. The six salts of Kruschen assist the | internal organs to throw off each day the wastage and poisons that encum- ber the system. Then, little by little, that ugly fat goes—slowly, yes—but surely.

But the boy was a re- peated offender and I must say that after he had been birched he never again appeared in the court before me.” No children appear in juvenile court in England until they are eight years of age and are considered ju- vyenile cases until they reach 17, Mrs, Bright pointed out.
