Dear Editor--Just a line from the good old boys c f 136th Batt., to let the people of Bowmanville know that we are "Somewhere in France" and that we are all in the very best ol health and that there is a warm spot down deep into our hearts for them. We have been over here now two weeks but we expect to leave any moment for the trenches. The first one I met over here was Major Dick Jones. There shouldn't be a shirker or a "baby doll" left in Bowmanville for the boys are all needed in active service. They'll get a roast when the" boys come marching home". We all keep on smiling for we are all glad to think that we are "doing our bit" and fighting for the dear old Maple Leaf and our loved ones at home. Tell those who shirk now that when we come back we wont look at them for they are not worthy of the protection they are receiving from their country. SCOTTIE. Pte Frank Taylor, 605:56, 87th Batt., B.

OAHU MSI8I1* 60.. #1W TOIL Ml MM-Wftm Nerve Force is so much like Electricity, Electricity, and the latter is so much fetter fetter understood, that we have used this vivid telephone picture to illustrate illustrate what takes place in the human system when the connecting nerve fibres are deranged or something goes .wrong at Central. In the nervous system the 'brain is the Central where the Nerve Force is created, and whence are issued the orders which control the whole human body. Here is consumed one-fifth of the blood in the human body, and when the blood supply i» deficient in quality or quantity, the brain and the nervous system are first to feel the effects. Neuralgic pains and headaches, inability to rest or sleep or concentrate concentrate the mind, dizziness and noises in the ears, are some of the symptoms of a starved nervous system. Just as machinery lags when the current of electricity fails,' so the bodily organs weaken when the supply supply of nerve force runs low. Digestion Digestion is impaired and you lose appetite, appetite, the liver, kidneys and bowels are slow in performing their functions, the heart's action weakens, circulation circulation is slow, hands and feet are cold, you are easily tired, lose ambition and grow downhearted and discouraged. This describes the condition under which Dr. Chase's Nérve Food can prove of greatest assistance to you. Forming new, rich blood it feeds the starved, exhausted nerve and brain cells back to health and vigor. The new vital, nerve force flows out through the intricate system of nerve fibres to every member and every organ of the body, carrying new vigor, energy and strength and driving out pain, weakness and disease. 60 cents a box, 6 tor $2.50, all dealers, or Edmanson, Rate» & Co., Limited, Toronto.

A man who kept a road house in Rhode Island, was called upon to testify in a suit as to the number of cubic yards that were handled in some filling work near-his place. He showed very little knowledge of the matter, and his idea of a cubic yard was so indefinite that it seemed doubtful whether he knew what the j term meant.. In order to make its meaning clear, the judge said: "Listen, witness: Assume this inkstand to be three feet across the top this way and three feet that way and three feet in height, what should you call it?" "Well, Your Honor," said the wit ness, without hesitation, "I should say it was some inkstand." > *' A Good Reason. "Were yo& in any great action during during the war?" "Yes. That's the reason there j^so , little action in me now," said the old 1 soldier who had a wooden leg.
