Es i | i Persia. Writing to Rev. A. E Arm- strong, Assistant Secretary to the Presbyterian Board of Foreign Mis- sions, Toronto, he says, besides just. his work among the refugees fro the Turks has been strenuous and frightful. It took him and his fam- ily seven days to go from Tabriz to Urmia. The refugees there number- ed on June 7 about 25,000, most of them hungry and naked. A man and three children whose bodies he had seen, were killed by the Turks, and the wife left with a lame brother for three days without a morsel of food. Only the food supplied by Rev, Mr. Eshoo saved them. A little girl, three years of age, was sold to a Mos- lem for 60 cents, and a native boy for 80 cents. Both were brought back by a native minister. This is being done by parents who are suffer- ing from the famine. "] saw a good many people, most of them children, eating green grass like cattle," adds the missioner. He goes on to say that it is most diffs cult to get bread, as the Moslems hide the wheat for themselves, and do not sell it to the Christian peo- ple. "If the good and kind Rus- sians were not here they would (ry to 'starve every Christian, and there are thousands every day at the doors of the Russian, American and French missionaries. Rev. Mr, Eshoo says that all the available wheat had been carried away from that district a year ago by the Turks and Kurds. He gives a personal touch to his letter by say- ing that "three of those Assyrian beggars whom we arrested while in 5 Toronto are here, but always trying We wish to draw your at § to hide themselves from me." sention to aurgpteial-displap of RARER plenio KINGSTON BOWLERS GO TO BELLEVILLE Results of Three Games Play- ed on Queen's Green on ed. a must joi room. wi in Every ow T.J.O Connor CT Far more effective than Sticky F Catchers, Clean to handle.

William O.-Beatty, the 33rd Battery, Writes Letter to His Aunt, Mrs. J. Conlan, Division Street--Well Cared For in an Hospital : Near Bristol. $ Gunner William C. Beatty, a nephew of Mrs, J. Conlan, 305 Divi by |sion street, who is ats the front with the 33rd Battery, had his hands and face badly burned in an accident on *| June 13th, particulars of which have just been received in a letter sent to Mrs. Conlan. Gunner Beatty was confined to the Second Southern General Hospital, Southmead, Bristol. In his letter the writer. states that he was sent to England because the military authorities wanted to keep the beds clear in France. He has completely recovered from his injuries. The ac- cident happened at Ypres, and was caused by the back flash from a gun catching some cordite on the back of the gun. The cordite exploded, and burned three men, whils three others had a narrow escape, One of the men was in the same ward with Gunner Beatty, but his burns did not heal up quickly, and his hands are still bandaged. The injured soldiers were in Bou- logne for two days in the Canadian Hospital. Referring to the hoppital, which is located just outside of Bristol, Gun- ner Beatty stated that it was a very fine institution, and that at the time of writing several Canadians were there. "The people of Bristol are doing a Jot for the wounded soldiers," added the writer. "They have automobile drives nearly every afternoon and teas for those who are unable to go out. Actors and actresses are invited and they give us fine entertainments, 80 you see that the people appreciate what the fellows are doing at the front." Gunner Beatty spent a month in the Bristol hospital, and states that he was hever treated better in his life. The people could not possibly have given him better care, Blind faith is quite liable '0 lead one into rough ways, HOODS PILLS: "Coffee" Far over thirty years our Coffee has been "a high standard of quality" con" sistently maintained Have no hesitation to try it.
