Winnipeg Free Press. At the service in. St. Stephen's church, Sunday there was read a letter from Dr. C. W. Gordon (Ralph Connor), major chaplain of the Can- adian forces in the field. The letter, which was written from the Soldiers' Institute, Chaplains" Service Cana- dian Corps, on the Flanders front, { August 16th as follows: - "We are just finishing our tour and expect to be relieved to-night. | We are in excellent health and our boys are fit to go to their limit when- ever they are called on. I never cease to wonder at them, whether 1 see them behind the parapet or in the dressing station, They show the same splendid spirit and heroic forti- tude, cheerfulness and patience. Many and many a man have I seen carried bleeding, torn, battered, into the dressing station, and, while they Maye not always been able to fight back the groans, never once have I heard a single word of complaint; never one single word of regret for having come to the war; no single word of impatience. It really breaks one's heart sometimes to see their gratitude for any ttle help--a drink of water, a roll of safibags for a pil- low, an easing of arm or leg--the grateful smile, the sign of deep con- tent, and they look up at you with such wistful eyes. "The other night a young chap was brought in with bad wounds--my heart went out to the lad. He had lost blood, and was pallid to the lips, but his smile was bright and brave. The doctor fixed him up. He chatted away with me quite cheer- fully. We took him into the adjoin- ing dugout, or eellar, to, await the ambulance. I got him some cocoa and made him comfortable. Oh, he was grateful. Crucifix of S. "In a little while I went back to him, I saw he must go soon. 1 spoke to him of his Father in Heaven. He listened eagerly. 'Shall I pray 'with you?' I asked. 'Yes, sir, but I am ng of your religion.' 'You are a Roman Catholic?' I asked. 'Yes. 'Have you got your Crucifix?" No, 1 left it in my kit.' I sent round to find a Crucifix among the boys round about, but, strange to say, could not find any. I made up my mind I would carry one with me after this. I went out, cut two little twigs-- the doctor tied them together in the form of a cross. I held up the eross before his eyes, now growing dim. His eyes brightened, his face really shone in a smile, 'I see it, I see it," he said. 'Lift up my head." I lifted it up for him. 'I can't pray,' he said 'Never mind, God knows. Say after me, 'God be merciful to me a sinner, Forgive my sins for Jesus Christ's sake and receive me now.' He said the words after me, his eyes fixed on the Cross. He moved his lips; I placed the Cross against them. He kissed the symbol of Infinite Love and Mercy, In a few minutes he closed his eyes and was gone. Poor boy, poor boy. I felt jt was worth my while being there--worth while leaving you all and coming away just to help this poor lad in his extreme hour of need. I can't do mueh, but what little I can do I am glad to do. Wounded Officer. "The other day we got word that an artillery officer had been wounded up the line. The M.O. and I went up and found a lad named Macdon- ald. He was awfully glad to see one who knew something about him and his people. You can't under- Comes over a man when he is sick or wounded in this war, I spoke to him of the Good Shepherd and of His care and love. 'I know," he said quickly. 'I have long trusted Him." Afterward in the evening he was brought down to the dressing station and fixed up. He will do well. I wrote his mother, so that she will not be unduly anxious. "Into the dressing station in the dark cellar adjoining the operating room, where the Younded men wait. I went and said, "Now, boys, we are Probs: Risin > Speci g temperature ; showers on Wednesday alu SEE _ Suits that are irresistible to the woman of fashion, their variety enables her delightfully to express her own personality.

To do this, get about four ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; apply it at night when retir- ing; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in gently with the finger tips. ~ Do this tonight, and by morning, most if not all of your dandruff will be gone, and three or four more ap- plications will completely dissolve and entirely destroy every single trace of it, no matter how much dan- druff you may have. You will find, too, that all itching and digging of the scalp will stop at once, and your hair will be fluffy, lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel a hundred times bet- ter. You can get liquid arcon at any drug store. It is inexpensive and never fails to do the work. tt atti atti | | INFECTING PRISONERS WITH TUBERCULOSIS Paris, Sept. 26.-- Germany is deliberately infecting her prisoners. with tuberculosis.
