JOHNSONVILLE FLOWER SHOW

PROCEEDS FOR THE WOUNDED

The annual ,show of the Jolinsonville Horticultural and Industrial Association was opened in the local hall yesterday afternoon and is being continued today. There is an - excellent display of flowers and vegetables, and a "fair section of fruit. Tlis show has a special claim to attention, because the whole of the profits are being devoted by the society ■<& the "Wounded Soldiers i?und.

In reference to the, use of funds for a patriotic purpose, he.remarked that last session, when it was'iproposed to raise two millions by way, of revenue, it was said that this wiuld pat an end to the generosity of the people.

TO SWEETEN THE BREATH. To sweeten the breath take a course of Chamberlain's Tablets. They are invaluable for the relief and prevention of disorders of the stomach and liver, which cause bad breath. They stimulate the bowels to perform their work, thus cleansing the system. By taking one of Chamberlain's Tablets at regular intervals you will never be troubled with bad breath.—Advt.
