CRUCIFYING MAN
8pnTiint D. A. Baoheldcr, 27 yinrs
old, n veteran f'nundian soldier of the
present world war, and who was twice
wounded in action nlonu the Belgium.
Franco front, left lnt niitht for his
homo in Calvary, 11. C, after a sev
eral days' visit with his friend, E. C.
f Jerome. He still carries a piece of
German shrapnel in his left Inns.
Sir. Bnchclder served eiuhteon
months in the trenches, and nfter that
saw much additional service in the
the artillery. Purine; his stay in the
city be never tired of tellinj; of his
experiences nt the war front, of its
horrors nml of German cruelty.
At the outbreak of the war he was
a conductor on the Canadian Pacific
mil road and enlisted nt the.first call
in a Canadian regiment of infantry,
and went with the first Canadian
troops sent to France He snvs that
in the first contingents sent over

Cnondinn enlisted.
Hours of Torpor.
Bnehelder was shot in the knee and
laid in a shell hole in No MiuiV
Land between the fighting armies for
thirty-six hours before he mustered
tip strength and courage sufficient
to trawl hack into the Engli.-h lines
under cover of darkness.
All that time he lav there fearing
to make even the slightest move, as
he says the Germans from thoir
trenches watched carefully, then a
now, for any movement that showed
that a suposed dead antagonist was
alive, and promptly fired on and kill
ed any such.
After his return to the Er;;iish
lines he was in the hospitals eight
months before he. was sufficiently re
covered to return to duty. Then he
was transferred into the nrtillerv ser
vice with the rank of sergeant and
given command of n field gun.
Fourteen ninths ago during a bat
tle a piece of shrapnel entered his
left lung and Mit him out of action
ngaiu. It is still in Lis lung, but as
it is a piece of casing steel the sur
geons decided there was no dang.-r of
blood poisoning and that his chances
of living were better than if a dan
gerous otcrn!ion were M-rfomioil. In
due course of time lluchcldcr was
sent back home. He is now suffi
ciently recovered so as to he nb'e to
resume his work as railroad eon luc

INCREASED RATES
'T'lIE action of the interstate commerce commission in

railroads will meet general
generally in a nourishing condition, never making more
money or declaring higher dividends, and are not depend
ent upon increased freight rates for continued prosperity.
The railroads failed utterly in proving their assertions
and in realizing their doleful predictions. Their own bal
ance sheets disproved their contentions. Not even the in
creased expense occasioned by the Adamson law could be
cited as an argument to justify the demanded raise.
Although refusing general relief, the commission indi
cated its willingness to increase class rates in the eastern
district approximately 11 per cent. This virtually allows
eastern carriers about 4 per cent in gross freight revenue,
as about one-fourth of the freight handled is moved under
class rates. All roads are to be allowed a 15 per cent. in
crease on coal, coke and iron.

PRESIDENT KILLS
OF
E AND DEER
WASHINGTON, June 30. Organ
ized prohibition forces conferred with
"dry" senators and representatives
today In an effort to determine their
attitude on the "bone dry" prohibi
tion legislation modification of which
Is asked by President Wilson to fa
cilitate passage of the food control
bill by the senate.
After these conferences, the execu
tive committee of the anti-saloon
league Is expected to draft a letter to
the president announcing Its decision
Regardless, however, of any action
the league may take, It was generally
agreed that the president's Interven
tion has bad the effect of preventing
any Interference with the manufac
ture of beer and light wines and that
the most prohibitionists can hope for
at this session is legislation dealing
only with distilled beverages. ,
Prospects of the elimination of the
prohibition Issue, It is generally be
lieved today, will bring about passage
of the food bill by the senate early In
the coming week, possibly by' Tues
day. Debate continued In the senate to
day, principally on committee amend
ments. .
LONDON, June 30. "Wbile we
should not be too optimistic regard
ing the food situation, for we cannot
tell what the morrow will bring forth,
there is no fear at present that tho
Germans will force England to adopt
compulsory rationing because of their
submarine campaign," said Baron
Rhondda, the food controller, to the
American correspondents today. Bar
on Rhondda added that the voluntary
rationing system was working admir
ably and tho crops of tho country
were doing well. Referring to the
American food bill, Baron Rhondda
said that when this Is completed the
allied nations will be able to' shape
their course with a greater degree of
certainty.

. WASHINGTON'. June 30. The
opinion tliut the price of $3 a ton for
bituminous coal at the mines, agreed
upon by the operators here in con
ference with Secretary Lane and

bitant, unjust and oppressive," was
expressed by Secretary linker today
in a letter made public by t lie war de
partment. Mr. linker said the con
ferees had acted without authority
and indicated that the price fixed
would not be paid by his department

today, were:
: Pacific states: Generally fair, nor

Sterling Threshers
You should be a Sterling owner
because they are equipped with:
1. A strong steel bar cylinder.
2. The Sterling Thresher is well equip
ped with tough cylinder and concave
, teeth,
3. Revolving apron.'
4. Adjustable concaves.
5. The shakers have high efficiency.
6. A large assortment of seeves.
7. Self adjusting, wind regulator.
The adaptability of the Sterling Thresher to the
farm with limited acreage has for many years
been one of the principal assets in its favor.
Another point in favor of the Steading is that a
man and a boy can easily attend to all duties
connected with the threshing operation.

Sour Stomach.
This Is a mild form of Indigestion.
It Is usually brought on by eating too
rapidly or too much, or food not suit
ed to your digestive organs. If you
wll eat slowly, masticate your food
thoroughly, eat but lltt: meat and
none at all for supper, you will more
than likely avoid the sour stomach
without taking any medicine what
ever. When you have sour stomach,
take ono of Chamberlain's Tablets to
aid digestion.
Cholera Morbus.
This Is a very painful and dangor
ous disease. In almost every neigh
borhood someone has died from It be
fore medicluo could be obtained or a
physician summoned. Tho right way
is to have a bottle of Chamberlain's
Colic and Diarrhoea Remedy in the
house so as to be prepared for it. Mrs.
