No. say the others. Announcement from North Battleford that the only two lumber companies there were changing Horn a Wednesday half-holiday to a Saturday half-day, has brought a division of opinion here from merchants. Half of the businessmen appear, in favor of a general change, tc- lieving the public would soon; adjust buying habits and favor-i ing the idea of a longer holiday weekend.

Those opposing any change feared the eifect on husi-j ness of Saturday afternoon i clo'ing, A further trend to Saturday closing was noted in the railway announcement that after June 1, railway stations and express offices would be closed Saturdays. At present, most federal department offices, warehouses, coal dealers and other businesses close Saturday afternoons. Many country elevator agents take Saturday afternoons off. Among those favoring a change to Saturday afternoon closing here is Mayor Percy Risdale, local merchant for 4v years. I think it's a very good idea, especially for the employees who would he able to enjoy an uninterrupted lli days holiday then.

Wednesday afternoon really doesnt give anyone a chance to go anywhere, the mayor said. "The public might not like the idea at first but I think they would adjust their buying habits. After all, they got used to Wednesday half-holidays and to the stores closing at 6 p.m. Saturdays.

Factors pertain-1 jug to sound rung and an been done here to date were the ldis of a talk by brie thrift, metropolitan town planner from i Winnipeg, and consultant to the Yorkton committee. Thrift addressed the Rotary Club luncheon and in the evening spoke to members of the Kinsmen Club, March 5. Ry use of maps illustrating Information gathered in surveys, 'thrift explained how a general plan for Yorkton had been developed with consideration for land use, park and recreational areas, the current distribution of population, general studies, street systems, transportation, school locations, zoning and legislation. While future problems could not be precisely predicted, he said sound planning was a form of insurance which gave a meas-ianl lire of satisfactory results.

Kenneth Cuff, 192 Henry Street, Sydney, Nova Scotia, is a woman who ha had more than her share of trouble and sickness, including four operations. In recent years Mrs. Cuff, who is 66 old, suffered a great deal from rheumatic pains and upset stomach. She tried many remedies in an effort to- get relief and nothing seemed to do her much good. Thfn she heard about SARNAK and she started taking it.

Here is Mrs. Cuff's own statement in regard to her experience with SARNAK. "I have been ailing for years, have had four operations that caused me a great deal of pain and finally began to suffer rheumatic pains and upset stomach. 1 started taking SARNAK after hearing what my friends had to say about it and it has certainly helped me a great deal. 1 had relief from my rheumatic pain the first week and the stomach upsets and the heartburn were relieved almost immediately.

I don't know how 1 would get along without SARNAK. Yes You Should Try SARNAK as have thousands of others in Canada who suffer from rheumatic, neuritic and arthritic pain, sciatica, backache, lumbago or neuralgia, some minor forms of kidney and liver upsets, bilious dizzy, spells, nutritional anemia, lack of vitality and nervousness caused by these symptoms. SARNAK is so effective for aches and pains and general run-down condition that you usually got results within the lirst tew days. Make up your mind to give SARNAK a chance to help you as it has helped thousands of others who had gone on day after day suffering. Thousands of bottles of SARNAK are sold every day In Canada.

Remember, there are no substitutes for SARNAK. Always insist on the genuine SARNAK. In some rural sections where there are few drug stores SARNAK may be difficult to obtain. Don't pay anyone more than $1.35 a bottle. Order by mail from your druggist or mail order house in assute yourself not paying grey market prices.

If one druggist does not have SARNAK. try another. npyiixht 1051 Sarnak Artvt. Wl III 9 t' (If I- 1 If 'Xr A xtTl W- hr. W' there from Ontario, and burial were at Margaret Haviland, 85, Asquith and Invermay district resident before coming to Conquest in 1927.
