“YOUR MONEY OR YOUR LIFE.” Two Canadian soldiers ~ treated a Folkestone restaurant keeper named Harxis to an up-to-date “Wild West," turn. After finishing supper the men walked up to the counter behind which Karris was standing, and in blood-curdling, melodramatic tones, one of them, pointing a revolver at his head, exclaimed: “Put up your hands or I’ll blow your brains out!” Harris held up his hands, and while he remained in that position, covered by the revolver, the second soldier went through the till and took a sum of money. Both men then retreated backwards out of the restaurant, the revolver being still pointed at Harris. One of the two men, Private William Gibson, was later remanded on a charge of stealing, in order to give the police an opportunity of arresting his accomplice. “To be safe, never reel sure.” —Old Proverb. In time of peace prepare for war—in,times of health prepare to ward off the enemy, disease! In summer weather most people are susceptible to chills and the resulting coughs and colds, therefore a bottle of Baxter’s Tiling Preserver should be kept handy in home, shop, or offide. An occasional dose will do much good —bene 1t the throat and lungs, and tone up t 1 9 system generally. “Baxter’s” has stood the test of 50 years, and is si '! the favourite with people who recognise real merit.
