McILRAITH _ Mr Rowell declared that ameng the | necessary reforms were that our eduâ€" eational system should be revised and recast to meet the new couditions of ‘lib ; â€"that agriculture, the oldest and most honorable of all occupations, |should be placed in the commanding | position which it should hold in the |life of the mation ; that every child | should receive a fair chance to make the best of life‘s opportunities ; that | the indugtrious workingman, who by | gickness or misfortune, is thrown out of employment, through no fault of \his own, should be protested from | want Juring the period of sickness or unemployment and that a life of toil, honorably spent, should not end in an old age of penury and want, To seeure the necessary revenue for such plans of social reform, there would not only have to be a serious and determined effort to practise econâ€" omy and thrift, but Mr Rowell also asked in thrs connection the followâ€" ing pointed questions : Special Reduction Last Saturday I was in London for the second time. It seems like Torâ€" onto to us now. It costs 30 cents fare from Orpington and we purpose going every week end. The boys‘ chief delight is to mount the upper deck of the great busses at night and drive through the crowded theatrical district and darkened streets, Switch the hydro off in Durham, pull down the blinds in the store and hou e windows and you have London reâ€" produced to a nutshell with the ex ception of the red lamps of the moâ€" tors and an occasional lamp post, the glass of which is painted green. A Winnipeg friend, Hinds by name, and mysel{ were visitors at the Parâ€" liament Buildings and were delighted with all the sights. I didn‘t get an opportunity of sitting on the Coronaâ€" tion Chair, but I lolled around the bench where the members of the Coalition Government sit when in session until warned by a ‘cop ‘ Says Vinol Made Her Strong Grand Saline, Texas.â€"*‘I am an aged woman and for a long time was weak and feeble but Vinol restorm health and strer:Fth so that I feel t young lftin and am doing all n:{ housework. Old ple who are weak and feeble ahou]d try Vinol and know its merits as I do. It is the best medicine to create strength and for chronic colds I have ever taken.‘‘â€"Mrs.FanntE E. Ropakes.

I saw ol advertised and decided to tEs f:l'miivithin two weeks I noticed a decided inprovement, and more wealthy and more favored, whose wealth has been made possible by the exploication of our natural re.â€" sources or the toil of their fellow citiâ€" zens,â€"be asked to make substantial contribution to the public welfare ? " But this is all. London is almost as busy and as gay as ever. The peo. ple are confident of ultimate victory and they have a right to be. Just like in a game of euchre, it takes three tricks out of fiyec to gain a point, so the people of England are confident that in their army and aerâ€" ial service, they hold two perfectly sure cards while the third and most important trump is the navy and with it, the game is clinched. Last Saturday I was in London for In a previous letter some stateâ€" ments concerning economic and â€"livâ€" ing conditions in England may have given the impression that we are teeling the pinch here. If that opinâ€" ion was â€"gained, I want it erased from your minds, Naturally condiâ€" tions do not prevail on the same standard as at the beginning of the war but so far as I can see, all can afford a second suit of clothes for Sundsy yet. All but soldiersâ€"they have only one. At the same time the English Government, unsatis factory as it has been, is trying to press home upon tae people that they should save money. London is no longer placarded with recruiting postâ€" ers ; instead it is now covered with signs deploring extravagance in dress and warning the people that it is unpatriotic to buy lavishly. Other signs caution people not to use moâ€" tors for pleasure and some advise doing away with unnecessary domesâ€" tic labor. Mrs Hugh McDonald and son John of DPurham visited her moâ€" ther Mrs Hobkirk last Thursday, before John left for Walkerton, where he has enlisted in the 160th battalion band. Miss Nellie Murdick visited Listowel friends last week. One midnight we were all awakâ€" ened by the fring of guns. In one minute the barrack room was empty and we saw at a great height in the direction of London a small silverâ€" like cigarâ€"shaped object at junction point of the searchâ€"lights,. It was stationary but its distance made imâ€" possible for our gunners to mark it. The * Zepps " are old friemds now. They come to England three and four times a week for a visit but they are little heeded. Unless some unâ€" usual damage is done, newspaper comment on the raid is practically nil, But many interesting things that do happen never appear in print because censorshtp prevenmts it, I‘d like to tell you some of these, but that also is not permissible now, even in letters. I have just come in from outside where the evening yiew of flaming searching lights shooting skywards is an unusual one to the average Canâ€" adian. These great lights spring up from dozens of points surrounding Orpington and comb the clouded sky for possible Zeppelins. The streamâ€" ers cross and reâ€"cross at all angles and once they find a raider, all the lights are focused on it. It is said that the men in the enemy air craft are almost stricken blind with the inâ€" tense glare and steering their maâ€" chine is an impossibility then, To ronder the Zeppelin driver thus helpâ€" less is one of the chief uses of the searchâ€"light. * Zepps‘ not Feared.

Ont , and was tired all over, totally Sights at Orpington and London MULOCK +4 o â€" ONTA Rusuctnihe onl BC C THE DUBHAM REVIEV May 8th TORONTO | I am very busy in the office at |present. There is work for at least 2 more men here and we will likely have at least one more soon. With the gradual arrival of patients more work is involved for all departments, |including the Paymaster‘s, Each Ipatient is allowed pay of 10 shillings \ a mouth for the purpose of obtaining such sundry aiticles as postage, stationery, tobacco and the like, Of course this money comes in through us ard we have to keep an invoice of articles they get with their money and many other details besides reâ€" ports of such expenditures, have to be looked after and reported to the Chief Paymaster in London. . A reâ€" port is needed for each unit repreâ€" sented here and as we receive all paâ€" ltients here, black or white, English, Australian, Canadian, Belgian or otherwise, a lot of ground has to be: eovered, _ The Canadians have at least a dozen convalescent hospitals iu Enogland and when you consider\ the many Canadian Unmits and the mass of correspondence which is ne-‘ cessary for all these, you will hardly be surprised when I tell you there are 1400 clerks in the office of the Chief Paymaster of the Canadian overseas in London,. At that numâ€" ber they are choked to death with work there and an Order has recently come through, that each Unit as soon as it has arrived oyerseas, must send five good men to work in the London Office to correspond with the increaaed work that will be entailed‘ thereby. I can imagine what it is like only in a small measurc, but 1| get enough to keep my brain busy wichout trying to do more, Comforts are not numerous t Shorneliff just now, _A letier from Kimber, one of our Toronto bunch that did not come to Orpington, says the mud is a tright and they have to sleep ten in each tent just now, lapâ€" ping their legs over one another to make room. We are well looked after here : iron bede, hair mattresses pillow, â€"3 blankets, 2 sheets. change of linen every week, yet some comâ€" plain. Too many of them before the O.C. every morning for drinking. Fines and epecial punishments are registered against them and this inâ€" creases our work in the office, The Colonel is threatening to put the bars eut of bounds if drinking does not stop. They restrict this class of men uo pay of one shiliing a day till close ol war and at that they are geiting as much as an English private, If an N. C. O. transgresses he has his stripes taken from him. Talking of stripee, I now wear two, having atâ€" tained the dizzy beight of Corporel ! Just finished my dinner and find a Review and a letter dated April 23, the first sent dlrect to Orpington. A ehum of mine has ‘one dated April 28th and a large box of assorted homeâ€" made candy and the postage was 87c, He needed the money worse he riys, ~*.. > ... Rev Mr Ashton attended the ordination of Mr Barker of Port Elgin last week. Mr and Mrs A. McGillivray and daughter Miss Jessie, Chatsworth visited friends here over Sunday. Their son Reginald enlisted last week with the 147th battalion from Dundalk. Though only a youth, he‘s anxious to do his bit. Dr Gun passes the effice almost every day and often comes in and we compare news from home. When I am through with the Review he takes it along, then sends‘lum on to Gordon when other Durham boys see them,... The docior tells me the jist will likely be moved from Bramâ€" shott to Shornelifie soon. when Gor don exp«cts his furlough. Mr Will and Miss Irene Vollett of Hutton Hill, visited at Mr Wm Lunney‘s on Sunday. There are about two dozen patients at present, all but two being afflicted with consumption. A few words about Orpington and the Hospital here. This institution built by the Ontario Government is the best money conld erect. It is thoroughly equipped with the latest sclentific and medical apparatus. The Hospital is built on the * hut plan." where each hut is a ward. There are 20 wards and each will acâ€" commodate 52 bed patients. There are 26 Doctors, who hold the rank of Captain and 85 nurses on the staff. All are from Ontario and experienced in their protession. Dr. A. Gun is much pleased with the cutlook here, but as there areonly a few patients on hand yet, be states that he is rusting for something to do. Like the other Officers, the doctor is learnâ€" Ing to play Golf on thelocal Golf Course and is modest enough to say that he is making slow progress at the game. G. K. Lucas, of Markâ€" dale, is assistant registrar at the Hospital and W. H â€" Aimstrong, anâ€" other Markdale boy, is chief Dispens er. In addition to the beautifully large wards and commodious quarters of Officers, Nursing Sisters and Men there is a large Recreation Hal! foi the patients and stafl. _ Here all kinds of games, newspapers and a library are provided and at one end there is a stage, used in our weekly Friday evening concerts. that the seat was next thing to being sacred. The House of Commons ehamber is much smaller than I ever imagined it to be and however 670 members are seated in it requires a question mark. Pte. Campbell Clark of the 147th battalion, Owen Sound, was home Sunday of last week. s on Secaanl.. .. i sudot t «iciBiinnasde@nitiitiw «in tlcslihlwccct 0 May 1Ith *# f : ;GRANTS # oo Qu ie Ip tp in p > tp tp i ge Durram, May 17. 1916.
