WOMAN ALL RUN DOWN Made Strong and Well By Vinol Waynesboro, Pa.--"I was all run down after a hard spell of bronchitis so it was hard for me to keep about. I had pains in my chest and took cold easily. A friend asked me to try Vinol. I did, and it built me up so I am strong and well and I am able to do my housework which I had not done for three months before taking Vinol."--Mrs. Y. R. Hobbough, Waynesboro, Pa.

FLEWWELLING--Otter-! pool Camp, Kent, England--This camp is quarantined and until the authorities j see fit to release us we cannot go beyond the fences surrounding our area, except ! for route marches, when we are under strict discipline. We get plenty ol lectures anil drills, and we don't object to them either for with nothing to do it j would seem very dull indeed. We havn't even a canteen or Y. M. C. A. tent to ioaf in. All troops when arriving are put in quarantine for a while before ! being allowed to mingle with others, and | as some who came over on our boat have developed measles and mumps, we may be held here some time. It is beastly I muddy here; rains most every day. But [ the little hardships we have to put up ; with are more than counterbalanced by the knowledge that we are now overseas, and by the good news we get in the papers nowadays. I would not have missed this trip, with all that it means, for anything. Don't think it will be very long before we go to France, as practically all our draft is to go there and I imagine we are needed now.

We lost a lot of good officers killed. They were all fine young nen and it seems a shame that Canada should lose them. The Germans will have a lot to answer for when this war is over. 1 will remember that Easter Monday morning as long as 1 live. When I think of it now I often wonder how I ever escaped.

So many have left this world since we left. One car hardly credit it. We naturally ex pec to see and hear of a lot of old boys "hit ting the trail" over here, but somehow we cannot seem to expect it at home There arc quite a few of the boys arounc home who I had hoped to see in the u.ni form long ago.
