' - Dear Mother--I;ain still alive and none the worse for à 'winter's soldiering soldiering in France. I suppose you heard that we have had rather tough luck We lost a lot of our men but I was one of the lucky ones who came through without a scratch. PoorSteve Argent was killed about ten feet from where I was. I was sorry to lose him as we were real chums and I will miss him very much. A shower of shells came our way and it was. a real inferno. We got as far as the German second line and then retired to our own lines. The Germans centered their attention on us and another battalion down the line took them unawares and evened things up, so that the Germans have nothing to crow about, over us. We have justcompleted about three weeks in the trenches and are at present billeted billeted in a village several miles back where we are having a rest and a chance to re-organize. Our Colonel who was killed in the raid was buried to-day and we marched to the grave- ard about five miles away to pay our ast respects. The day was clear and crispy and the walk was just a nice, healthy one to create an appetite. I saw a man ploughing in a field today so you can guess what the weather is like here.

From the war news from Vimy Ridge, that monotony monotony has been broken in another exciting exciting manner. Dear Mr. James,--Have just received received five Statesmans.

Oh, that magic word 11 hopped along and the mail man yells, "Say Harry, home papers for yours," consequently all's well on the Western Front once more. Things are moving here "these days. The boys welcome the chance of a. change from the trenches as they certainly certainly do get monotous.

Comforts Provided For Canada's Returning Returning Heroes. The idea of providing hospital cars for invalided members of Canada's expeditionary expeditionary forces originated with the Canadian Pacific Railway over two years ago. At that time it was considered considered that the time was not ripe for them. However, it was later found advisable to provide the greatest comfort comfort possible in the transportation of returned invalided soldiers. The Military Hospitals Commission therefore therefore agreed "to the Canadian Pacific Railway building six new hospital cars, fitted up on the most up-to-date lines from the point of view of hygienic and medical efficiency. All the necessary points for comfort and easy transport have been considered, as well as the facilities for rendering every medical assistance to the men while travelling. Ihere are three units of two cars each, making six cars in all, and the direction of the cars rests with the Hospitals Commission. Each unit comprises what is known as a composite composite car and a ward car. The former former contains six cots, in addition to the quarters for medical officers and nurses,' while the latter car has accommodation accommodation for fourteen patients. Everything has been provided, not only for the comfort of the returned invalids, but for those in charge of the patients. " The accommodation for the nurses is equivalent to that of a drawing-room on a standard sleeper, with a toilet room annex upholstered in leather, and all possible train comforts. comforts. Facilities have been provided for the storage of baggage, and there is also a kitchen attached, such as is contained in a tourist sleeper, to enable enable special foods to be provided for the wounded soldiers when occasion arises. The medical officers' quarters quarters are fitted in the form of a compartment compartment with upper anâ lower berths, and a small dispensary. The ward car consists of one large room the length of a "standard sleeper, sleeper, and lavatories at either end. Standard hospital cots are installed in both cars; the floors are covered with linoleum and the aisles carpeted. A special feature is the introduction of a "bad weather entrance. " The composite composite cars have two side entrances, in addition to the usual ones at each end. The side entrances, where the patients will be received, have been fitted with very heavy curtains which can be drawn closely in bad weather, thus affording ample protection from draughts to the patients already in the cars. The cars will be easily distinguished distinguished by the large Red Cross, painted on either side of the words "Military Hospital." This most valuable of farm hooks costs you not one cent.

Upon it falls the burden of resisting the destructive influences of weather and changing seasons. Now, the question is "Where nm I going to find a roof which will meet these conditions?" Certainly not in wooden shingles which have rapidly deteriorated during the past few years. Not in anything so perishable as wood, nor yet iron, which lets in driving rain, but rather in a permanent mineral composition such as Brantford Roofing. Now, let us look at a section of Brantford Roofing. First, you notice it has £ pure, long-fibred felt base. This is thoroughly saturated with a filler coat of asphalt or mineral pitch. Then it is given another coat. Finally, the surface is thickly covered with crushed slate. You can imagine what a job rain, snow, fire or heat would have penetrating a roof like that. As for comparing Nature's Waterproofing Waterproofing with shingles on the score of permanency, or protection, or appearance, or even economy, there is no comparison. You put a Brantford Roof on once, and it will last as long as the buildibg ; it will always look well and it will never need repairing.
