AR CANADA'S FAVORITE DRUG STORES Do Not Have "Cold Feet" We do not- know who originated the saying "He's got cold feet" but we do know how to prevent the trouble. When cold nights come hundreds of people will suffer night after night simply because they have "cold feet" and cannot sleep. We have made ample provision for the comfort of such people by purchasing a big supply of the best Hot Water Bottles we have ever seen or heard of. These bottles are guaranteed to us for 5 years constant use and nothing better can be made at any price. We feel that 5 years is an unreasonable unreasonable length of time to guarantee any Rubber Rubber goods and we have therefore decided to give a guarantee for full two years only and for the . purpose of introducing them we have cut the price down to $1.98 each. . Every home should have one at this price. Remember these goods were made to last for 5 years and will probably do so.but- any defective bottle returned to us within 2 years will be replaced free of charge. We have others as low as 89c each.

Mr. Frank L Lucas, brother of Mrs. John Darch, "Erpingham", Bowmanville, who formerly lived on Carlisle Avenue, and who returned to England last November November to join his wife who had preceded him owing to the serious illness of her father who has since passed to rest, is now on active service in the British navy on H. M. S. Lucifer. Monday morning's mail brought us a very welcome letter from him, dated September 15, 1916. He tells of his abiding interest in Bowmanville and its citizens, saying he received The Statesman Statesman every week and how much he enjoys enjoys reading its newsy pages. He says he wishes he were as breezy a correspondent as Dan D., to whom he refers as "Hon. Dan Douglass". (Then he would write us some letters, we suppose. We shall welcome welcome letters all the same, from Mr. Lucas, Lucas, for we have not had any from the Navy branch of the military service for a long time--Editor) Mr. Lucas writes: I re-entered the Navy within a month of landing in what you call "the Old Country", Country", and have been with the Fleet at sea more or less ever since. I am in the best of health, so is my wife, but she has not j only lost her father since our return home but one brother has recently been killed in action in France. Mr. Lucas sends best wishes to all who know him and hands a bouquet to the Editor by saying he hopes to read many more of his "Talks" yet and "We will all join in the hope that this War will soon be oyer and good times will return once more.

McLaughlin about his cousin, Major Arthur E. McLaughlin's death: He was hit on the afternoon of the 9th of September about 5 o'clock while moving moving forward some men with himself in the lead. He was only a short distance from me when he fell. I heard him say "O Lome" and I turned just in time to see him falling. I did not think he was seriously seriously wounded at the time, as he was partially sitting up when I moved on forward. forward. I could not turn back to see him, as I had to take my men on, but I sent a runner back to see how he was. The runner returned to me and stated that his wound was dressed and that they were taking him down to the dressing station. Arthur told him to fell me he would be all right. The second day after we moved back near to where he was in a hospital, and I at once went there to see him. I found that he was iq a very serious condition, condition, and our M. O. (medical officer) had already got there to see if he could render Appreciation by Rev Kenner, London, Ont. Entered into rest in Bowmanville on Sunday September 17, 1916, Rev. William Jolliffe, in his 91st year. "Thou shalt come to thy grave in a full age, like as a shock of grain com- eth in in his season." Job 5: 26. "Mark'the perfect man and behold the upright, for the end of that man is peacè." Psalm 37: 37. The concept in the mind of both Eliphaz and the Psalmist in the above quotations is about identical, that a life of practical piety tends to its protraction protraction and guarantees a happy ending. ending. Rev. William Jolliffe's life and demise demise illustrates and confirms this view. He valued the body as the shriiae, tent, or habitation of the soul. In a gathering gathering of ministers he once said "Brethren, "Brethren, we move among our people, are fed upon the best they have to offer, and it behoves us to watch and control our appetites and persons lest the apprehension apprehension of the apostle be verified-- after preaching to others we ourselves become castaways. Man was created in the image of his Maker; knowledge sat upon his forehead as a crown; humility and love beamed mildly from his eyes while round his lips played the sweetest smile of gratitude and joy. His body was fitted for nimble movement and elastic bound, knit together together with strong muscles rendered acutely tremulous with telegraphic nerves, all giving unmistakable indication indication of a Divine architect and warranted warranted the Psalmist's exclamation "I am fearfully and wonderfully made," Occasioned by the fall a great change has taken place--the body is now the nurse of violent passions and appetites," appetites," the seedbed of numerous diseases, diseases, like a ruined habitation constantly constantly letting the weather in, a machine machine that needs frequent winding up with food, sleep and medicine to prevent prevent its utter collapse. By a clean life, regular habits, the cultivation of a cheerful disposition, observing the laws of sanitation, and regarding the body as the temple of the Holy Ghost to dwell in, he approached approached the century mark ere death touched him with its icy fingers, and illustrated the scriptural statements, "Length of days is in her right hand", and "With long life will I satisfy him." The average of human life is at least ten years more than when deceased first saw the light, and Isaiah 65: 20- 22 tells of the âgé to come when 1 'A child shall die a hundred years old", and "As the days of a tree shall be the days of my people". The prophet does not name the tree. If it should be the oak which takes, it is alleged, one hundred years to develop, another one hundred years to display its beauty strength and grandeur, and a third one hundrëd to decay. Thus the deceased deceased dying, as we say at a great age, had scarcely reached one-third of that lived and enjoyed in the Golden age yet to be. CWhen men generally shall embrace and act out the principles of Christianity Christianity and their intellects become enlightened enlightened and strengthened by observance of moral law, shall achieve the mastery over the parasites that prey upon the vitals of his physical frame, he shall live on and on, ever increasing in intellectual intellectual force and characLer, and the Golden^Age shall have come. "3 While Father Jolliffe attached great importance to the body as the temple of the Holy Ghost, as Eternity is more important than Time, Heaven than Earth, he deemed the soul of greater importance than the body; and,for its restoration to the forfeited image of God, he earnestly and consistently labored for many years. As a theo- Christ, so he believed in regeneration and,restoration to God's image by the indwelling of. the Holy Spirit and taught by precept and example. He had his trials--loss of wife, loss of children, loss of fortune, but all were borne with exemplary patience and resignation. We are told that no word of murmur or complaint escaped his lips. He had the confidence of his brethren, being appointed as superintendent superintendent of different Districts, and several several times was appointed a member of the highest court of the Methodist Church--the General Conference. Bro. Jolliffe loved the Methodist Church, her polity and doctrines. He loved to preach the Gospel, and was. frequently so engaged when opportunity opportunity offered after he had passed the fourscore mark of life. He loved the fellowship of saints, and it is questionable questionable if he was ever absent from its service when he could not furnish a satisfactory reason to the Master. His was a fruitful ministry. In its earlier part, as is usual with most ministers, he was most successful in persuading men to be reconciled . to God. He was rather of the Melanchthon type than the Lutheran, and hence figured more extensively in building up believers in their most holy faith than in arousing the thoughtless and alarming the ungodly. He was a good j pastor and a good preacher, a faithful friend, loving husband, a tender parent, parent, a good citizen, the friend of all, and came near bearing the weight that rests upon the man of whom all the world speaks well. He came to his grave at a good age--91 years nearly-- but need not have counted as many years, as a man has reached a "full age" when his work is done. So death cannot come untimely unto him who is prepared to die, the less of this .cold earth. " The more of Heaven, the briefer life, the earlier immortality. Hast thou not seen the setting sun, How mild his beams appear ? Just so the Christian who has run His day of trial here. He leans upon his Saviour's breast And enters his Eternal rest. Peace to thy memory. As I loved thee on earth so may I meet thee in Heaven. ' . GOING TO THE WAR. any assistance. They told me he was ; logian he was conservative. Having WE ARE HERE TO SERVE YOU resting very quietly and that it would be as well not to disturb him by going in. At 7.30 p.m. they came down to my billet to tell me that he had just passed away. It was a bullet wound in the abdomen, and they told me that he showed no signs of suffering and was bright and cheerful all through. I made arrangements that night tor his burial the next day at 12.30, mid-day, and kept part of my company for the funeral. I got a Presbyterian minister, Major Thomas, to take the service service and the brigade Church of England Chaplain was there also. I am sending in separate envelope cards showing hospital hospital where Arthur died. As you know, we are not allowed to mention places or locations. GARD OF THANKS Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Bennett, Carlisle- ave., desire to thank all their friends and neighbors for their kindness during the illness and death of their infant daughter. never become intoxicated by breathing the exhalations that have risen from the swamps of Germany, he believed in his mother's Bible. To its statements statements concerning man--that "the whole head is sick and the whole heart faint", that "from the crown of his head" the extremity upward, "to the soles of his feet", the extremity downward, downward, "there was no soundness, but was full of wounds, bruises, and putrefying putrefying sores", he offered-no opposition. That Heaven, with all its amplitide. was too contracted a sphere to contain the love of God, that it overflowed its embattlements and became exemplified exemplified in Him who came as a Prince and a Saviour, flowing out in unfettered benevolence to the ends of the earth, in arms of infinite length that embraced embraced universal man in its folds when hé "by the grace of God tasted death for every man", was what he believed and taught. So he believed and taught ruin by the fall, redemption by Jesus J. Kenner. We received this letter from Rev. John Kenner of London before we requested requested him to write an appreciation of the late Father Jolliffe but it is so interesting to many of our older readers readers that we have pleasure in publishing it in part.--Editor. - The Statesman for Sept. 21st contains contains a notice of Rev. W. Jolliffe's passing. In Devonshire, England, in the early part of the last ceiitury, ignorance was rampant, persecution was rife, and sin held high carnival. William O'Brian, moved by the spirit truth, came with his evangel of mercy and salvation, and the conversion of such as James Thorne, William Reed, William Courtice, Robert Kent and others cf like spirit, led to the estab- Iishmentcf the Bible Christian Church, and William Jolliffe, who has just finished finished a protracted and useful life, was a specimen of the fruit proceeding from that movement and organization. It was my privilege to know him after my arrival in Canada in the year 1871, he having arrived long before anc. entered our ministry in the year 1868. He and his sainted wife professed to know, not only theoretically but experimentally, experimentally, what is understood in Methodistic circles by "The Higher Life" or "Entire Sanctification.", think his views on the subject were sane and certainly his life gave no contradiction. I followed him in Cob- ourg and Bowmanville appointments, had much business with him, personal and connexional, and ever found him to answer to my ideal of a Christian gentleman. The passing of the aged brethren makes me reminiscent and lonely. Of a family of 15 children I, the 15th, am the only one remaining. Of the fathers fathers in the B. C. Church when I entered in 1855, not one remains--Barker, Ken- ley, Green, Roberts, Tapp, Nott, Whitlock, Whitlock, Webber and a host of others, where are they ? Since the union of the churches Drs. Williams, Rice, Dewart, Sutherland, Potts, Douglas, Nelles, and a host of others too numerous numerous to mention who held the lines and directed the affairs ecclesiastical, are all numbered with those who have left the shadows for. the fuller light. Thru the mercy of my Heavenly Father Father I wait with hope on the borderland apart from anxiety or fear, and my foothold is the Rock of Ages, my hope the mercy of God. I congratulate you on the full and useful life you have lived since I knew you back of Cobourg as head teacher in the Baltimore Public school, leaving leaving the important for the more important, important, as. the editorial chair and the Papers give you a wider range and a arger class than the schoolroom. 1 do not flatter you when I say that the "Editor Talks" from week to week t.re interesting and instructive, and that to only the few is it given to talk so much without repeating themselves or showing that the well of supply has given out. My eldest daughter, Mrs. (Rev.) S. J. Thompson, is visiting us and desires kind remembrance to you. Yours with much respect, J. Kenner. A Bowmanville Soldier Tells op Trials On the Way Overseas On the Railway in New Brunswick,. September 23, 1916. Dear; Editor;--So many friends in Bowmanville wished me luck and a safe return and asked me to write to them that I will need your help if I write to them all. I left Bowmanville at I o'clock Wednesday morning after my visit and arrived in Montreal about 9 a. m. The G, P. R. has two stations in Montreal some 3 or 4 miles apart and their connection between the two stations is a horse-drawn bus. The ride is about as pleasent as it would be in Glover's bus over a city cobble-stone road. I got t o Quebec about 6 p. m. to find that the G. N. R. had cut out the 9 o'clock train to Camp Yalcartier and there would be no train until 7 o'clock next morning, so I went to the Khaki Club for the night. This is a three- storey, three-cornered building standing standing on a corner that runs to a, point. First floor is for eating purposes, second second for reading, writing, etc., and the top for sleeping. The sleeping room is about 25ft square and contains 23 single beds--all filled. Some of the boys had quite a time getting settled but I was too sleepy to be kept awake. WehadanA-1 breakfast so I didn't feel sorry that there was no night train as a good bed and breakfast are luxuries to a soldier. When I got to the station there was about 400 soldiers soldiers like me on their way back to camp. We all got on a train which they said was the right one and after waiting about fifteen minutes we all had to get off and get on another train. We got into camp about 10 o'clock Thursday morning to find pretty nearly nearly the whole camp getting ready to move. Our battalion had half the tents down and packed and all the men were occupying the rest. We spent the day getting our kits in shape. At night bon-fires blazed all over camp and bands played, celebrating our last night in Camp. Friday afternoon we dressed in full marching order and left camp about 5 o'clock for railway siding siding about 4 miles away. We had to wait awhile for the train and an attempt attempt was made at getting supper but j'ust as we were ready to get it the train pulled in and we had to grab what we could get and line up and get our packs on our backs I got a slice of bread about an inch thick and some butter and having no time to eat it just then, I wrapped it in my handkerchief handkerchief and shoved it into my pocket to eat cn the train. We had had a good big dinner so we werenot very hungry till next morning. We got into Quebec Quebec about 9 o'clock and marched to the ferry to go across the river to Point Levis. It was one of those open ferry boats and as our tram was not in we were kept on the boat, then it started to rain a cold driying rain and we all packed into the lower part of the boat -- baggage room, engine room and every other available space was packed packed like a sardine box. We tried to get a little sleep but the most of us hadn't room to lie down so we didn't make out much. About 4 a. m. we were routed out to get on our train. Such is a soldier's life. Today we are on the train and are getting enough to eat and the prospects of a good night's sleep and as we are on our way to Germany--we are all happy. One of the boys got a jàr of jam when he was home and put it in his kit bag. The top came off. This morning when he shoved his hand into it the jam was all there and so was the rest ol his kit, all mixed up. He said some things that I wont mention here. Good bye for this time. Will likely write you again from "Somewhere in England". (Pte.) Ed. F. Carr. Hampton League meeting Friday evening evening was in charge of Miss Lazelle Brown. It was a night with "James Whitcomb Riley". The Scripture Lesson was read by Miss Erma Salter. "Sketch of Riley's Life" was given by Mrs. E. Ward. "Oh Heart of Mine" and "Good-bye little girl good-bye" were sung by Miss Hilda Cryderman Cryderman and Miss Evelyn Currie. The poems "Out to old Aunt Mary's","The Kind of man we want, "and"The Weather" Weather" were recited respectively by Miss Mildred Mildred Cole, Miss Lyra Trenouth and Mr. Frank Cryderman. Meeting closed with League Benediction. The funeral service of the late Father Jolliffe was held in the Methodist church on Wednesday Sept. 20. Chaplain Chaplain the Rev. W. G. Clarke, B.

Pastor Clarke then gave a short address dwelling particularly on the words-L'A work^ man who needeth not to be ashamed", Other tributes were paid the departed by Rev. Washington, Rev. Tonkin, Rev. Brown, all speaking of the long and faithful work of deceased and of the triumphant end of afaithful worker. worker. Rev. Tonkin referred to the event of a year ago when Father Jolliffe was in his pew on his 90th birthday, Oct. 10th, 1915. The Official Board put the fact on record with a cordial resolution of their thankfulness and at the evening evening service the whole congregation after hearing their action read from the pulpit rose and sang "Praise God from whom all blessings flow". The closing hymn was announced by Rev. Beckel and Rev. Woodger pronounced the benedictian. The' pall-bearers were Revs. Woodger, Clare, Tonkin and Washington. The remains were laid to rest in the family plot beside bis wife. Among the mourners' were Mrs. O. J. Jolliffe, Ottawa, and Mrs. L.
