Lovell to is parents who reside at London England, Mr. Lov is a member of the 4th Cameron's and the letter, was written in the trenches . of France, March 10th. He describes the terrific bombardment that is tak ing place while he writes the letter under cover of a 'dugout.

The ser geant mentioned previously has died from his wound. We buried a ser geant of the Grenadier Guards to-day "The first shave in ten days was had to-day. To-morrow I may havea wash if they do not bombard us too heavy." ? A note was added by the censor which said: "The post referred to is the most important in the lines and the 4th Camerons have already been complimented by the eral." Mr. Lovell closes by stating that many miraculous escapéshave taken place among the men some of whom are stained yellow with lyddite Plenty of trophies could have been obtained but there is ro means of keeping them.

At the time Pte. Fillion was wounded he was in the trenches at Armentieres with water and mud ip to his knees. Two hundred and eventy yards away were the Prus sian Guards trenches. "Well T am satisfied now I had a few cracks at the Germans.and then they got me," says Pte. Fillion 'The fighting is fierce night and day. Believe me the Canadian<"boys are giving the Germans all that "is oming to them. They go either to Paradise or elsewhere when they stick their headg over the trenches Pte Fillion is-of the opinion that the war will soon be over. ie states that the Canadian Hospital in France is the best to be found at the seat of war. Pte: Fillior missed being sent there, over which fact he laments. However he has been in five hospitals, including the Duchess of Westminster's. No fault is found with the treatment of the' hospitals but the writer says that they are starving the Canadians in France, while the -British soldier is being fed like a king. "I was a regular skeleton when 1 arrived in the hospital," he - said However the genial nurses whom Pte. Fillion and the other boys term "chickens" treat these wound- ed in tip-top fashion.

Gimblett Writes, In a letter to on of the Whig staff from Corpl. R. J. Gimblett, with the Ammunition Column of the 3rd Bri- gade at the front reads in part as fol- lows "No doubt you know by this time that our brigade has been info it and has been complimented by General French for their fine work. We have had a fine time lately watching several fights between aeroplanes and anti-aeroplane cfaft. Several of tiem have been reported as hav- ing been put out of action. "We are having fine weather here now, although it iS rainieg to-night. We expect fine weather in April. All the boys are well and feeling fit. Onr biggest complaint is the native to- bacco we buy here. It is peculiarly bad smoking, and if it was not for the issue of two ounces weekly of good stuff we would be absolutely lost." AT THE GRAND. To-night "Bringing Up Father," Will Be Seen. The character of "Father" in George McManus's cartoon creation of "Bringing up Father", takes us back to the days of Barry and Fay, the real Irish Lads. Gus Hill's pro- duction framed from the McManus pictures, offers excellent opportuni- ties for hilarious comedy and when vou have witnessed a performance of "Bringing up Father" you will ag- ree that, that master of stagecraft has not overlooked a single point. "September Morn," On Thursday "September Morn" will come to the Grand on Thursday April 8th with Frank Minor, Lou Kelso, Maude Potter, William Cameron\Arline Bol- ling, as principal fun-mjAkers, sur- founded by pretty girls, lovely mu- sic and costumes of the latest impor- tation. The story goes with a hurr- rah as Rudolph Plastric, a would-be! artist, who claims to have painted the celebrated picture called "September Morn" (but who in reality cannot paint the side of a barn and do it well) continues to get himself into tight places." An actress claims to be the original model of the popular pic- ture, and she instructs her publicity promoter to boost her as the real "September Morn". The dodging of Rudolph and the actress, both know- ing they are imposters, creates no end of fun. Vaudeville Thursday Afternoon. On Thursday afternoon at 2.30 o'clock a matinee of the usual good vaudeville and photo-plays will be given in the Grand Opera House, but on account of the big road attrac- tion, "September Morn," playing the Grand on Thursday evening, the vaudeville and photo-plays will not be given that evening, but resumed on IYiday matinee and night and Saturday matinee and night. The splendid programme includes Para- mount pictures by the Famous Play- ers Film Company ol Edith Taliy- ferrc, in "Young Romance," in five parts and 400 scemes; a two-reel photo-play and a Keystone comedy. The vaudeville consists = of Miss Louise Mario in a pianologuée and singing, and Todesca and Todesca in a novelty bicycle act. THE NURSES CHAPTER To Hold a Sock Shower on Saturday Next.

England KINGSTON DOES WELL IN REGARD TO NUMBER OF MEN FOR FRONT, The Limestone City Is Well Repre- sented In All the Contingents -- No Other Place Has Done Better, have a right proud of the number of men who have been sent from here to the front, as in practically every brancn of the service there are Kingston men and officers. Beside the hun dreds of men who went over with the First Canadian Contingent from Valcartier there are hundreds of Kingstonians ready to go with the second and third, and all over the province Kingston has a name as bi- ing a strong and steady source of supply for a high type of ° soldier for overseas service. In the second contingent there are Kingston men and officers in the Canadian Engineers at Ottawa, the 22nd Battery in England and in the 21st Battalion here. For the third contingent tonians are in the 8th Regiment, C.M.R., 39th Jattaliopn and the 26th Artillery Battery, Army -Medi- cal Corps, Army Service Corps anl other units, either in Canada or Englanad waiting to go to the front. For fourth contingent,-if there is one, there are now about fifteen men of the 14th. Regiment being drilled every day. They are under pay, and although they wi'l iil:eiy be transferred to other battalions, are nominally in training for an ov- ersea battalion which wiil probably be ordered as soon as the second contingent is out of the country. As it is, recruits are still beinz pccept- ed. The Canadian Engineers is not the only 'corps in wiih there are Queen's students waiting to go» 'to the front. Lieut. J. E. Muckle is in the 38th Battalion as are alsc <e-- eral men There are Queen's stud ents in the 26th Battery and of course almost a hundred are drilli «2 for No. 5 Stationary Hospital. The demand has been great but the call has been well answered, and after the clouds of war clear away it is doubtful if any place in the province will have proved as loyal in the proportionate number of men it has sent to the front as Kingzs- ton.

Thin-blooded people do not remain so from choice, but from indifference, in some cases -from' despair. -- People who are pale, languid, with palpita- tion of the heart, some difficulty in breathing and a tendency to be easily tived are suffering from thin blood. They need only the resolution to take the right treatment and stick to it until cured. The remedy that ean be relied upon is Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. = With every dose. they make new blood, and new blood means health and strength. The red cheeks, good appetite, increasing weight 'and strength that follow the use of these Pills prove their great value to thin-blooded people, Here is an example. Mrs. R. Steele, Afton . Road, P.ELL, savs: "Follow- ing child-birth T took a pain in my head which grew so bad I had to call in a doctor. He told me that ny blood had turned to water and that 1 was in a serious condition. He treated me four months, but still the pain remained, and my condition was growing pitiable. 1 lost my ap- petite, and was so weak and run- down that I could no more than walk across a room. Iwas as pale as a corpse, and the doctor told my friends he had but little hopes of my getting betfer. A cousin who came to see me urged me to try Pr. Wil liams' Pink Pills, and I sent and got a supply. In about a month after beginning their use I had much re- lief, and by. 'the time 1 had taken six more boxes I was fully cured and felt as well as ever I did in my life. 1 have never had a twinge of the pain since, and feel that I owe my life to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, | as they cured me after the doctor had failed."

A Parham correspondent complains of the game law. Having hunted over the hills, of central Frontenac nearly half a century ago when the breezy pines stood upon the land, there were lots of deer and you could get one almost any day. And the lakes were full of fish and I wish to .tell your Parham correspondent that the divided and unorganized farmers of Frontenac have voted for party until the hills of Frontenac are depleted of their pines, the soil is all burned and the pine stumps stand upon bare rocks as monuments of the time the manufacturers dammed back the waters in the lakes, forcing the fish back into the swamps to spawn, where by drawing off the wa- ters they. were left to stink and rot in the summer's sun dgpleting..the lakes of the fish. - If there is one lit- About SUN-KIST packages--just as distinetive as the quality of their contents.
