At this port I disembarked' and for the first time set foot upon the shore of England. And oh what a thrill it was to be there. As I came down the gang­ way, here were some friends await­ ing me to give me a welcome to their native land, and in a few min­ utes, after some more business with courteous men in uniform, away we drove in an English motor car to Portsmouth, where there were more welcomes, and1 an English breakfast, and English fires amaze, and all.

But I made good use of my time, and of course promised myself a good many more days, at some other time. In the evening I took train for Havre, and slept very soundly all the way across the Eng­ lish Channel, waking ip time to see that our boat was finding its way rots, canaries, doves, love-birds and many others, and so many sta- | tues and busts and monuments that one would think they had erected I something of the kind in every open • space. And I must tell you about * the Cathedral, also with such sta­ tues and carvings. I was especially interested in the beautiful seats or stalls in the chancel, where the priests sit, or stand. For the seats are on hinges liae those in a theatre and on the under side there is a small wooden projection, I forget the name of them, for the priests to lean against, during the long ser- I vice. And each one of these little supports is a piece of the most ex­ quisite carving, and no two the same What care must have been everything about these churches, even in the parts which are hardly ever seen.

The sun was pouring his beams over the eastern shoulders of the Pyrenees Mountains and at a 'little station were two squads of Custom men in uniform, some Spanish, some French But as I had no bombs in my pos­ session, and was able to show my good Canadian passport, they gave me no trouble, and let me pass.

Banish Bothersome Boils Boils are caused by impurities in the blood and are simply an evi­ dence that bad blood is circulating through the system and coming to the surface. The one way to get rid of this painful blood disease is to give the blood a thorough cleansing by using Burdock Blood Bitters, which re­ moves the foul material and thereby banishes the boils. Mr. John Horbay, Hafford, Sask., writes:—-"For over two years I was troubled with boils. I tried all kinds of medicine without any result. A friend told me to take Burdock Blood Bitters. Just one bottle and the boils were all gone.” When I wrote to you last I said that I had been given the opportun­ ity of going from Majorca to Eng­ land, in order to travel with a pa­ tient to Egypt and other places in the Eastern part of the Mediterran­ ean. Nor did I take long to send back a message accepting the duty. Indeed it was all quite exiciting and although I was. engaged in the nurs­ ing of a dear old English lady, in the chief hotel of Majorca, who had injured her knee, I rushed about, and not without some difficulty found another nurse, and in a very short time I was once more at sea. This time it was very short, but very stormy passage by night to the main­ land of Spain, and at daybreak we steamed into the calm and shining harbour of the great city of Barcel- onia. have with is a him beside the harbour. ing seaward, and seems still to be saying "Sail on, sail on.” I spent a good part of a day in this fine city, seeing beautiful streets and parks and fountains and monuments. I passed by a place where five or six men had been killed in some bomb­ ing outrage a few days earlier. But all was quiet again. Presently I spied the Mercado or the Market and oh what a beautiful sight of fruits and vegetables and poultry and fish There seemed to be enough food to feed the whole of Spain and every­ thing spotlessly clean. In the fish department there is hanging up a great stuffed shark, with bulbs for eyes, in a little near the market I saw a Warming her house in a peculiar way. .She had a fire in an iron pot or brazier just in front of her open door, coax with itive In Majorca I had seen warming his office by setting fire to a quantity of alcohol in an open basin.

Farmer, you are interested in Exeter because it is the logical market for the greater part of the produce you have to sell. Exeter people are the consumers of what you have to sell, and you, being the pro­ ducer of what they must buy, are a person of mighty importance to them. You have a com- mon bond. Anything, then, that affects Exeter or its people affects you by affecting your market. Anything that effects the farmers of Exeter district has a vital bearing on the business life and general status of Exeter town. We are, after all, one in point of view, economically. In presenting the news and other items of interest each week the Times-Advocate is guided by this thought. Items of interest regarding any phase of farm Work or life are published, to­ gether with the news of the entire rural dis* tricts. Township Council meetings are given particular attention, as also are Farmer Clubs, Institutes, Church Societies, etc. Besides the buying opportunities listed by the stores The TimesrAdvocate’s classified advertls- ing section is of special interest to Farmers. There is continually something offered for sale that is of use to you; and when you have any­ thing to sell these classified ads, message to 1'500 buyers in your own the small sum of 35 cents. take your district for s touch withYou are also kept continually in what is occurring in the Town of Exeter, soc­ ially, industrially and in municipal government by the complete survey of the town’s activities which The T^imes-Advocate presents each week. And by the constant changes taking place, which is news, you are kept infornied of the conditions of your most important market. Mr. Farmer, you should be a careful reader of the Tlmes-Advocate every week, Are you? The cost at $2.00, Is less than four cents a week.
