The Ideal Family Laxative

is the one that can be used by the entire
family, young and old, weak and strong,
without any danger of harmful effects.
1t should have properties which insure
the same dose, always having the same
effect, otherwise the quantity will have
to be increased and finally lose it's effect
altogether. These properties can be
found in that old family remedy, Brand
reth's Pills, because its ingredients are
of the purest herbal extracts, and every
pill is kept for three years before being
sold, which allows them to mellow. We
do not believe there is a laxative on
the market that is so carefully made.
Brandeth's Pills are the same fine laxa-
tive tonic pill your grandparents used.
They have been in use for over a century
and are sold in every drug and medicine
store, either plain or sugar-coated.

An English Author Wrote:

mo shade, no shine, no fruit, no
flowers, no leaves, -November!" Many
Americans would add no freedom from
catarrh, which is so aggravated during
this month that it becomes constantly
troublesome There is abundant proof
that catarrh is constitutional disease.
1t is related to scrofula and consumption,
being one of the wasting diseases. Hoods
Sarsaparilla has shown that what is
capable of eradicating scrofula, COM

prevents consumption. We cannot see
how any sufferer can put off taking this

WEST BARNET.
In memor,am-Rev. John BOle. MA.

III 1uCMV1 INV gVAAA AS@Sg AAs ns
In the early morning hours of Novem-
Der 2nd., at his home in West Barnet,
Reverend John Bole entered into rest.
For some months past his strength had
been gradually failing. And though the
end came suddenly, it was not unexpect-
ed by himself, or by his family and friends.
His loss will be deeply felt by a large
number of friends, won by a noble
character and genial spirit. Of the
family of the deceased, Mrs. Bole and
Marion remain in the home; Mrs. c. A.
Hamilton the other daughter, resides in
Waterbury, Conn; William and James
fill important editorial positions in Bose
man. Montana; Robert is a prominent
physician in St. Paul; while Andrew is
pastor of the Congregational church in
Coventry. Rev. Mr. Bole was born in
Newtonstewart, Callawayshire, Scot
land, Jan. "a, 1921. After graduating
from the University of Glasgow he
studied theology under the direction of
Rev. DR.. Andrew Symington. Moving
to this country in 1853, he was or
dained to the ministry, and installed
pastor of the Ryegate congregation
under the care of the Northern Presby-
terry of the Reformed Presbyterian
Church After a most successful pasto-
rate OF nine years he resigned his charge
family to the old country, he rninistered
to a congregation in Belfast for six
years. On June %, 1860, Mr.. Bole was
installed pastor of the West Barnet
church This was his.last charge. After
a faithful ministry of seventeen years in
this place he retired from public life, re-
siding with his wife and younger daugh-
ter in his pleasant and hospitable home
in West Barnet, until the Master
called him to serve in the Church Tri-
umphant.
For 80 years the subjectof this sketch
was engaged in the pubic ministry of the
Gospel, faithfully and ably fulfilling the
duties of that sacred calling. His pulpit
ability was of a high order. He was
essentially a student. His ready utter
ance, his excellent choice of words, his
earnestness, eloquence and clear reason
ing combined in making him forceful
and acceptable preacher. In his work as
pastor he exhibited the same high excel
lence as in the pulpit. His intense
sympathy with his fellowmen, his genial
manner and intellectual charm endeared
him to his parishioners, and made him
welcome guest in their homes. His life
was consistent with his holy calling. 1t
was the secret of his success as a
minister. The power of that Gospel
which he proclaimed to others was mani
fest in his own life. He set Jesus before
him as an example. AS the weaver at
his loom weaves into his web the colors
and design of some beautiful pattern be-
fore him, so into the warp and wool of
his life this beloved pastor wove the
Heavenly traits and divine graces of the
Redeemer. His friendly counsel, his in
teresting conversation we shall greatly
miss. And as we feel our loss the words
of Tennyson come to mind
"And open converse is there none,
So much the vital spirits sink,
To see the vacant chair and think,
How good how kind and he is gone"
