teresting experience near Fordwich,
when a fancily of three deer came
out of a wood near the road and
seemed to want to get a good look
at the travellers. 'One of the fawns
was startled on the approach of the
car and ran into the wood but later
the doe and the two fawns leaped a
fdhce to come nearer and exhibited

animal which could get elver the

Iri'ghly esteemed residents, 'Mrs. Jane
Lynn, Anglesea 'Street, eonrlpleted
her 93rd year on September llth and
commenced leer • 94th in wonderfully
good health and spirit. Owing part-
ly to the illness of her son, Mr. P.
G. Lynn, of Detroit, who for many
years has made a practice of visiting

Tears ago, I began eating Kellogg's
ALL -BRAN. When I started, it was
called simply.'Kellogg's Bran, and I
believe it was one of the first prod-
ucts of the kind on the market.
"My friends often laugh, at my
fondness for ALL -BRAN. It gives
such a clean taste in the mouth, and
I do not feel satisfied until I lave
had my ALL -BRAN.
"If the Kellogg Company should
ever stop manufacturing ALL -BRAN,

(Address furnished upon request.)
Science says that ALL -BRAN pro-
vides "bulk" to exercise the intes-
tines and vitamin B to futther aid
regularity. Also iron. for the blood.
The "bulk" in ALL-ThtAN is much
like that of leafy vegetables. How
much safer "than taking patent
tnedicines—often harmful. Just eat
two tablespoonfuls daily for most
types of constipation. Forserious
cases, try it three times aily. If
not relieved this way, see your
doctor.

During the latter part of last week
the fire broke out and spread so rap-
idly that those on guard had to
beat a hasty retreat. Another fire
has also been burning for a few
weeks in several acres of bush land
on the Hpntet farm belonging to Mr
Fred Ellerington. The fire is eating
its way into the roots of the trees
and a number of large trees have
fallen. --Exeter Times -Advocate.
Chimney Fire.
lOn Sunday morning a chimney
caught fire at the home of Mr. Ru-
fus Kestle, in Usborne township
Hearing a roar, Mr. Kestle went out
side to investigate and found the
chimney blazing and some sparks had
ignited some shingles on the roof.
An attic in the house leads to the top
of the roof and through this Mr o
Kestle climbed with • a pail y of water
and soon had the fire under control.
An exceptionally high wind was
blowing at the time and . a hurti.ed
telephone call •was sent outefor'he1p,
but fortunately it was not needed.
Had the fire got any kind of a start
it is difficult to say what the damage
might have been, as everything is so
dry.—Exeter Times -Advocate.

'Roy Munnings, Goderich truck op-

guilty on a charge of manslaughter
in the Kitchener fall assizes, presid-
ed over by '.lilt. Justice Charles Gar -

the• truck which struck and killed
William Reade, a Kitchener street

nings on the scene shortly after the
accident was submitted by Crown

Pickled Fruits
The easiest pickles to make are
fruit pickles, , such as whole pickled
peaches, crabapples, or pears, cooked
in a spicy sweet-sour syrup.
'Before starting to make the pickles,
sort the fruits for size and stage of
ripeness, and keep the ripest in one
lot in there is marked difference.
When pickling peaches or pears,
have the fruit of uniform size. Then
the pickling liquid will penetrate and
season them evenly,
Spiced Peaches.
4 pounds peaches '
41/y cups sugar
1 cup Winegar
110 whole clove's
2 or' 3 one -inch sticks of cinnamon.
(Scald the peaches. Rinse and cover
with `cold water and peel or pare
without s'cald'ing, if' you wish. In
the meantime mix the sugar, vine-
gar, and spices in a preserving kettle
and simmer 10 minutes. Place as
many peaches in the kettle as will, fit
,side by side (but do not crowd. Cook
gently, tprning the peaches until
they are tender when pierced with a
fork, but do not cook until they fall
apart. Place the peaches in hot
sterilized jars and cover with . the
syrup. Repeat until all the peaches
are 'cooked. Pears or apples may be
spiced in the same manner.
Baked Pickled Peaches.
7 pounds peaches
15 pounds sugar
'1 pint vinegar
1 ounce stick cinnamnon
Wipe the peaches with a towel,
then pack in a stone crock. Make a
.syrup of the vinegar and sugar, and
add the cinnam'Pour over the
peaches, and iri'y' in a moderate
oven (850 deg. . 'for one hour hav-
ing the crook colvered with a plate.
When the peaches are done, do not
.remove the plate until ready for use.
Store in a cool place. These are de-
licious.
Sweet Pickled Pears.
4 quarts pears
2 pounds granulated sugar
3 cups vinegar -
2 or 3 sticks of cinnamon, broken
in small pieces
2 dozen whole cloves
2 dozen whole allspice.
Use medium-sized pears which are
ripe but not soft. Pare them, leav-
ing the stems on if possible. Place
the pears, in water to which soda has
beers added at the rate of 1 teaspoon-
ful to a gealon, boilthem until tender
when pierced with a toothpick, then
drain off the soda water and cover
pears with clear, cold water.
(Make a syrup of the vinegar, sugar
and- spices and boil for 20 minutes.
Add the pears, a few •at a time,
cooking them slowly for about 30
minutes. Skim out the fruit, put it
into sterilized jars and place the jars
in a pan of hot water on the back
of the stove. Boil the syrup until it
is thick, pour •it• over the fruit, and
seal iln me:;lately. Boiling the fruit
in soda water is the secret of suc-:
cess with these pickles. The soda
prevents their being tough.
Grape Relish. -
;Select choice bunches of grapes,
taking care that they are not over-
ripe and are of uniform size. Wash
and, without removing the fruit from
the stem, 'pack "in •sterile jars. Care

Pour the hot syrup over the grapes,
filling the jars with it.
Pickled Crab Apples.
(Remove the flower ends of 5
pounds of apples and replace with a
clove. For 5' pounds of apples, use
334 pounds of sugar• and half a box
of stick cinnamon. In, half -gallon
jars place alternate layers of apples,
sugar, and broken cinnamon sticks.
When the jar is filled, pour clown
the side one scant pint of vinegar.
Put a cover on the jar' and bake in
a very, very slow oven for ' about
2 hours. Do not 'baste or disturb.
When the apples are cool, juice will
carer the fruit. Place a cover over
the top of the jars and set away.
These baked apples will keep all
winter.
_Spiced Grapes.
'Remove the pulp of blue grapes
from their. skins. `Boil• -the pulp for
30 minutes, and strain to remove
seeds. Weigh both the skins and
pule, but do not mix just yet. To
each 5 pounds of grape pulp allow
3 pounds of sugar and 2 cupfuls of
vinegar. 'Boil together until quite
thick, then add the skins and boil
until as thick as jaim. Remove from
the fire and add 1 tablespoon -ail each
of cinnamon, cloves, and allspice to
each 5 pounds. of pulp. Mix thor-
oughly and seal in jars,

Staaatuare
'First 'Sam'uel• Wilk "Thou shalt
be missed for thy place shall be
empty."
We can truly say this of our
friend in whose memory we gather-
ed to -night. He has gone from. a-
mong us, not (because anyone drove
him away, nor 'because anyone desir-
ed hint( to go. He has gone because
his life work among us is ended, and
as we walked by his casket and look-
ed down upon his face, I am sure
that each one of us said, "Thou shalt
be mussed for thy place will be emp-
ty"
There are many places in Peoria
Where he will be missed. Of course
he will 'be missed from the home for
which he was the protector and pro-
vider. There will be a vacant place
in the family circle that no other can
•fill.
'Frohn the familiar and intimate
scenes of the family life he will be
missed by those who were his own,
for he has gone out of the hearing
of their voices and beyond the reach
of their hands.
'But though the plrysical chair may
be empty, there will remain the
memory of a faithful husband and
devoted father to be treasured by
wife and children through the years
until
"The Night is gone, •
And with the morn
The angel face shall smile
'Of him whom they have loved
'But lost a while." -.
IHe will be missed from the office
and there will be an empty place in
the Peoria Life Insurance Company
that will he hard to fi$1. It is not
necessary for me to tell you, who
worked with him and you who work-
ed for him, of the integrity and faith-
fulness with which he gave himself
to his life ceiling.
'Twelve yea' is a very shgat per-
iod of time when measured in terms
of hours and days, but in • those 12
years he rose from the position of
clerk with the Travelers Insurance
Company of Hartford, to the high
executive position of Actuary to the
Peoria company, and was rewarded
with the title of Fellow of the Ac-
tuarial Societies of America.
And what shall we say of these
years?
(Such a success° was not obtained
by sudden flight. 'It came only after
years of study outside of working
hours; years of faithful application
to the sometimes monotonous detail
of office routine; years of willing
seeking for opportunities to improve
methods and increase business.
And. I am sure that through those
nears his work was not only inspir-
ed by a desire to become a good act-
uary that he might enjoy for him-
self the rewards of such a position,
but also"` -by a devotion and loyalty
to the men and women of the com-
pany that they m'i'ght share the
blessings of a successful company,
and that• the policyholders might be
protected by a sound and adequate,
economy.
'To-morrgln and the next day,' anc',
for many other clays he will be miss-
ed from that office ' in the corner of
the lth floor, for his place will be
empty.
.He will be missed from -the streets
of our city and in many'an,organiza-
tion there will be an empty place
that once he filled.
The record of his years in Peoria
's an open book which all men may
read with profit, and of which none
need be ashamed. Its table of con-
tents refers to chapters that tell of
membership in a variety of organiza-
tions where his untiring labors
brought satisfaction to him and
gratification ,to others.
There was scarcely a worthwhile
movement in Peoria -but that at some
time om other felt the blessing of his
genial presence. Boni in our neigh-
boring country of Canada, he made
the -welfare of his adopted land his
own, and few native born citizens
have given themselves as unselfishly
for the good of this city as he did.
Whether it was, the social life of
the Country Club, Toastmasters, Uni-
versity C1ulb, or the American Leg-
ion; whether the business• manage-
ment of the Boy Scouts or raising
mlon•ey for the Y.,M,C.?.. and Com-
munity Fund. hi, name could always
be found on the list of those willing
and ready to do whatever had to be
done.
'Business in Peoria has been en-
riched by the integrity of his pur-
pose and 'honesty of his methods;
social life has been rewarded by his
friendship: welfare agencies have
felt the 'generosity • of• his personal
gifts and untiring ser --ice. No monu-
rnent of stone need be raised in this
city to his memory for the deeds he
pcormed are engraved upon tab-
lets of living hearts and will abide
long after these spoken words shall
have, been forgotten and the print-
ed eulogies shall have faded.
IHe will be missed from this church.
While he was the youngest member
of the governing board of our church
his counsel was always welcomed and
his loyalty could never he questioned.
For the past four years he has
served as Secretary of our Sunday
School, building up its membership,
keeping its records accurate aid
clear, and winning a place in the,
hearts of both adults and children.
Generous in his contribution of
life and money he was one of the
u
younger men upon whom this t4rrch
was counting for its future .suc'c'ess,
for he was a good man, a sincere
Christian, and he will he missed as
Sunday :by Sunday his place in this
church is vacant,
'I might keep on in this way enum-
eratingnamnec5 and places, but I think
these are' sufficient for 'our purpose.
To•mr'orrow the body of our friend
will be carried hark to his native (and
to take its habitation in that great
"Silent City of the Dead."
But that is not the end. For some
people it is the end. When the sad
news flashed over. our city on' Satur-
day -night that James B. Russell was
dead, there were some for whom it
was the last word. Nothing more

We believe that the spirit of man
is greater than the body in which it
lives for a little time. We believe
that this spirit is eternal, has .come
from God and returns to Him. We
believe that this universe is like the
Father's house of many rooms, in
one of which we live now and in an-
other of which we will live again.
And surely this would be a strange
universe if out of deference to tho
few particles of physical matter that
composed his body it would forever
exclude the spirit that we know as
James B. `Russell. Last Thursday
right as he left nay home he turned
to me amid in the/ familiar language
of to -day he said, "Well, P,11 be see-
ing you."
Neither of us -thought at that time
that it would be the last time we
wou°id see ,one another alive on
earth.
,But I 'am sure that this universe
does not exclude such a spirit, and
while we shall treasure here on earth
the memory of the living father,
kind friend and genial companion,
we a'flide in the faith that in that
other 'room of the Father's house his
servant is serving Him.
Is he dead among the grasses;
Ts he cold within the tomb?
No, my lowed one's gone before me,
Waiting in that other r•ionr.
Shall I doubt our Father's mercy,
Shall I sit enwrapped in gloom,
When I know my lovecf one's nappy,
Waiting in that other room.
Winter Protection Of Bees
The Dominion Apiarist• -says; "De-
cide early how. -you will protect your
bees for the winter, whether in the
cellar or in packing cases outside.
The cellar for bees should be fairly
dry, dark at all times, well ventilat-
ed, well insulated against outside
temperatures and maintained at ah
oven temperature of about 48 de-
grees F. The bees should be brought
in as soon as possible after the last
good cleansing flight, usually about
the first week in November. If
guards are placed over hive entrances
to protect from mice see that- they
fit snugly so that mice cannot move
them.
For outside wintering the bens may

the most economical both in the pre-

for every shilling he receives, and
the sender is supposed to wait and

Britain who is allowed to maintain
a private army. He keeps three
hundred uniformed men on his es-
tates. They are called the Atholl

could spring out of the heather and
cut your head off with a claymore if
the duke sicked them on. When they
are not swanking around in their
kilts these lads are to be found weed-
ing the duke's gardens, feeding pigs
and hoeing turnips. It's a great life.
