Cutting -winds and driving squalls Searching out your weakness; Coughs and colds and flu befalls. During winter bleakness: Indicating to the wise, Ills that may be fewer, Safe is he who always tries Woods’ Great Peppermint Cure. —Advt,
The services of the man who produced the first earthenware dinner plates in Britain were recently celebrated in due style. March 25 was the bi-centenary of Josiah Spode'e birth, and Stoke-on-Trent, where he was born and where he established his factory, was the scene of a great feast in his hotiour. It was in the old English style, with an ox roasted whole as the principal dish, and girls in the costume of 1760 to wait on the guests. Spode was also the pioneer at bone china, made by mixing ground ox-bone with pottery clay. The business he established is still being carried on by the descendants of William Copeland, who became his partner in 1793, and Spode china ia famous all over the world.
