There are seven of them and if the conibined experiences of these seven could be put into book form, many goodly-si tomes would bo needed.

Mr, Peace lives with his son Daniel, Jr. at 55 East avenue north, and is as bright and lively today as he was twenty vears ago, z He has a brother, William, whe is also an old captain, and who lives t 254 Wellington strect- north, Capt. illiams is also retired.

W. A. Temperance Men Mistaken, Windsor Record The Rev. Dr. Sowerby, recently pas: tor of the Talbot Baptist church, London, was one of a temperance deputation who waited upon Premies Ross. He told that the temperance liberals of London at the last election could not consistently vote for the government candidate, but voted for the third party candidate. By doing this Dr. Sowerby and the other liber. als succeeded in electing an opponent of the government and a man opposed to the temp iran: policy I. Sewer is_urging upon. the Ontario government Ci that is the practice poe. sued by many temperance liberals and to a large extent accounts for the if- ficult. position the governmest now finds itself in. Dr. Sowerby's action is about as sensible and profitable as was that of the. man who bit off hig nose to spite his face. Ii the temper- snce people succeed in defeating the government their last condition will be worse t the first. The op- position is on record as favoring the license system, and if they should come to power they will find on great many liberals who will agreed with them and who will support Laem in carrying out a wellre ulated, well informed license System. 8S tountry is not yet ready for prohibidon. -- Nothing Loosens Up Colds. 8 fp Te pt isht 5 i erviline, writes E.
