Is Your Liver
Poisoning You?
Are vow sick and tired out every morn- H0F “IB since 11. Always Fine How”faq yow sick and tired out every morn
ing J- always constipated — can’t eat
without pain and distress? Your liver
is poisoning your system—permanent
ill health may be the result!
® Your liver is thedargest organ in your body
and most important to your health. It supplies
energy to muscles, tissues and glands. If
unhealthy, your body lacks this energy and.
becomes enfeebled—youthful vim disappears.
Again your liver pours out bile to digest food,
get rid of waste and allow proper nourishment
to reach your blood. When your liver gets
out of order proper digestion and nourishment
stop—you’re poisoned with the waste that
decomposes in your intestines. Nervous
troubles and rheumatic pains arise from this
Eoison. You become constipated, stomach and
idneys can’t work properly. The whole
system is affected and you feel ’’rotten,” head-
’ achy, baqkachy, dizzy, tired out—a ready prey
for sickness and disease.
Thousands of people are never sick, and have o won prompt relief from these miseries with
’’Improved Fruit-a-tives Liver Tablets.” The
liver is toned up, the other organs function
normally and lasting good health results.
Today “Improved Fruit-a-tives” are Canada’s
largest selling livertablets. They must be good!
Try them yourself NOW. Let “Fruit-a-tives”
put you back on the road to lasting health— feel like a new person. 25c, 50c.

This week we quote the obituary
taken from the St. Marys Journal-
. Argus:
/ Friends far and near were shock
ed to learn of the sudden death
last Thursday afternoon of one of
&t. Marys’ most widely known and
most highly thouglit-of citizens, Dr.
Leonard L. Follick. Dr, Follick
. had been apparently in the best of
health when he was suddenly seiz
ed with.a heart attack in his office
during the noon hour and expired
shortly,' as reported briefly in last
week's issue.
' Dr. Follick, who was in his 75th
year, was a son of the late Enos
Follick and his wife, Ann Fenwick.
He was born near the village of
Exeter and as a iboy attended school
there. Later he attended 1
school at Clinton and finally com
pleted his secondary education at
St. Marys Collegiate Institute. He
then entered •the Royal College of
Dental Surgeons at Toronto, grad
uating as a doctor of dentistry in
1899. He immediately opened an
office in St. Marys. He soon de
veloped a large practice

Since 1936 his son, Dr.
lick, has been associated
In 1909 he was married to Zella
Rea, daughter of the late Mr. and
Mrs. Samuel Rea, of Blanshard, who
with their son and three daughters
survives.
All through his life Dr. Follick
was a devoted member of the
church. His connection with St.
Marys United choir extended at in
tervals to nearly fifty years.” When
he was a student at St. Marys C.I.
in the early/nineties he sang in the
choir/ his cousin, the late Thomas
A. F-ollick, M.A., being at that time
the choirmaster. Tt has been said
of Dr; Follick that the church was
a second home to him. On the Sun
day before his death, he attended
Sunday School and saftg in the
\ church choir, of which four mem
bers of his family were members, at
both services. He was an Elder
and had been a member of. the Of
ficial Board for many years. He
had served on many standing com
mittees and special committees from
time - to time. At the time of his

pillar,
For a number of years Dr. Fol
lick served as a unember of the St.
Marys 'Gollegeiate Institute Board.
He was chairman for two years and
for a long time did fine service as
Property chairman. He retired sev
eral years ago. The members of
the present board showed recog
nition of his contribution to the
work of the Collegiate by attending
his funeral in a body.
Dr. Follick was most devoted to
his family and found great happi
ness in home relations. He was
forever busy in his garden, or en
gaged at some wood-working or fix
ing the family cottage at Oakwood
Park, Grand Bend. In these hob
bies he found recreation and sat
isfaction. He enjoyed the com
pany of his friends and of the young
people about hiim. He was always
kind and thoughtful of others.
Three years ago he took a trip to
the coast to see his brother, Dr.
E. R. (Pete) Follick, of Vancouver,
B.C.j who had been his boyhood
chum. Together they spent a de
lightful six weeks driving off to
gether on a motor trip to California.
The surviving members of the
family are his wife, formerly Zella
Rea; his son, Dr. Fred R. Follick;
daughter-in-law, Jean Agnew; and

THE EXETER TIMES-ADVOCATE
Word comes from all quarters that we may need every ounce
of good food we can secure for ourselves. Every inch of the garden
should be well planted and well cared for. We are at war and food
may prove to be a real scarcity, Some of us are not able to do much
manual work, but we can do a little and that little must be done up
to the hilt, in our own interests and the interest of our fellows here
and overseas. Things that were all very nice when we were at
peace may well be nuisances today. Winter and scarcity may seem
far off but experience teaches us td prepare for such grim realities.

Have our readers ever noticed the way most of us have of
talking about the war in terms of the other fellow’s interests. We
prepare ourselves to salvage the other people’s property should
shells fall thereon. But what of one’s own property? May not
shells fall on the savings of our lifetime as well as on the other
fellow’s savings, and we be left roofless and businessless? We get
ready to render first aid to the other fellow when he is wounded
or broken. But what of ourselves, of our Johnny or our Mary
should the shells fall on them? This war refuses to be kept at arm’s
length. The unlooked-for is taking place every day, Why should
not unheralded calamity overtake us personally? Figure this out
and see if you have done all you can to prevent the disaster you
may have a personal and sad interest in
do our all-out best instills struggle till
personal stake in it.

We have been reading about the doings of those commandoes.
Now a commando is a band of the real thing in soldiers. These men
have brains. They are courageous. They are trained up to the min
ute. They can run a mile in full soldierly regalia. They can swim
a river and get up the other bank and on again till they accomplish
their mission and then come to camp and rest a bit and do the same
hill-climbing and ship-boarding and prisoner-taking and blowing up
of strongholds. And how co.mes this fine physical and mental qual
ity? If you look at one of these men you’ll know why. The ans
wer is these men in the commando have what it takes. They are
fed right. They sleep right, they do whatever they do in the right
way. They are np second bests in physical condition, in mental
fitness or in practice. Why not take this high standard of efficiency
as a model and work to it in a sensible manner? We’re not physical
culture specialists, but we believe that if we got down to
we could increase our physical vigour by fifty per cent.

The people who claim to know, tell us that there
money than ’usual in people’s pockets and fewer things
The war is the cause of this state of affairs. When people have
plenty of money, there are lots and lpts of a certain gentry who are
anxious to get hold of every dollar of other people’s money they can,
by any means they can. By so doing they hope to get rich, no mat
ter. who suffers by their doing so. Perhaps some of these .energetic
folk have called on you already. We hope that you have given
them the go-by. If any such nice-spoken person comes along to
sell you something you know nothing about, mention the name of
your bank manager and say, “Have that glassy-eyed party write a
nice letter recommending your scheme. Till then there is nothing
doing.” In the meantime be sure that your debts are paid. That
■ fine aristocracy represented by the butcher, the baker and the
candlestick maker may be looking your way. When debts are
paid, start in buying those war savings stamps and those fifty arid
one hundred dollar bonds the government is now offering. They’ll
look nice and do nice things for you when the war is over and done
with. In any case, be careful not to
your pocket.
Laval has accomplished what decent men regarded as
possible—the descent to Avernus in three years. He has
people who cried in the midst of their agony in the first great war,
“They shall not pass!” the full way to hideous ruin. Not since the
gates of hell grated harsh thunder as they permitted the outlet of
the greatest enemy of all mankind, has there been a darker deed
than that of the traitorous Laval as he turned his poisoned dagger
upon the nation that aided him and his people to secure the ad
vantage of victory over the foe. But the deed has been done and
the name of Laval will be a stench in human nostrils' while respect
for decency has a place in human thought. Still, France is not
Laval. There are tens of thousands of Frenchmen who have not,
and who will not bow the knee to’ the German Baal. Already there
are brave souls who face the firing squad with unquailing heart,
no matter what din may be made by the brassy souls of Hitler’s gang
and bootlickers. All the world uncovers in- the storm as those
French hostages fall before the poisoned lead of their unmanned
conquerors. The blood of these brave men and the deeds of those
who support them are the seed from which France cannot but take
a new birth of freedom. These noble dead do not die in vain.

Canada has voted that her parliament be free to prosecute her
war effort as she deems best. It remains to be seen what the par
liament will do in a situation so grave. That the situation bristles
With serious difficulties no one denies. All see in the vote the wish
of the English-speaking portion of the Dominion. Equally clearly do
they see the mind of French-speaking Canada. Were Hitler and
the Japanese not threatening our very existence our Canadian duty
would be easier. We may as well see and own that if Hitler land
ed fifty thousand men on the eastern shores of Canada his thumb
would be on the throat of Ottawa in ten days. Were the Japanese
to land one hundred thousand men on the western shores of the
United States, the Japanese heel would be on the neck of Washing
ton in two weeks, all the airguns and garden hose we might muster
to the contrary notwithstanding. Temporizing methods will not
meet the situation. Our proposition is that the government of Can
ada forthwith make the necessary arrangements for her sons’ to
serve where parliament believes they can serve best, irrespective of
whore the sun shines or the rain falls. We must hit the enemy where
our blows are bound to prove most efective. Should Canadians fail
to make a voluntary response, whatever3' the consequences, con
scription of Canadian manpower must be inaugurated. The day for
temporizing is behind us by at least three years,

GETTING READY FOR TROUBLE
All honour to those fine spirits who are getting ready for the
day of disaster that may overtake this good village and community.
These folk want to know how they can get ready to put out fires.
Indeed We hope that every house has its pile of sand kept wet for
throwing in the place where it is most needed, Those stretcher
bearers do well to be well trained, and those bandagers should
get right down to the .practical working of their art, About such,
matters we are not writing just now. What we have in mind is
something that is of real value in peace and war—-the important
work, that is to say, of getting ourselves ready to endure hardship.
If our houses are blown to bits we may have to sleep In the open,
as tens of thousands have been sleeping since the first thunders of
the struggle. What about our preparedness for such an experience,
especially should the rain be falling and the wind set in from the
North? Then what about our ability to remove bricks and rubble
from the wounded? What about our ability to do some out-iii-tlie
air cooking? What of the fitness of the water in our wells should
the town water supply be cut off? Do we know how to chlorinate
water? Can we carry on our buying and selling should the stores
be blown to smithereens? Do we know how to handle the thief
and the looter that'ever hovers raven-like where war does its appal
ling work? We needn’t brood but we should do a little reasonable
thinking. Faith in God, hard work in the garden and fresh air liv
ing are the things we need to look after just now and these are
things that will stand us In good stead in case of the harm that we
devoutly pray may never reach us.
