MRS. ALBERT HEY
And you, who sleep in Flanders’ Fields,
Rest assured that youi* sons won’t yield,
For justice is the sword they wield,
■On rhe battlefields in France,
Twenty-five years have rolled away
And yet, it seems but yesterday,
Since the boys -in khaki marched away
To the battlefields in France.
Today Great Britain’s planes and guns,
Are manned by your young stalwart sons,
They too arc out to chase the Hun.
From the battlefields in France.
Then,-—boys of khaki and of blue,—
The nations placed their fate in you,
And manfully you .saw them through
On the battlefields in France.

afflicted with that awful skin dis
ease, eczema, or salt rheum as it is
commonly called.
The intense burning, itching and

Unbearable, and relief is gladly

in relieving such diseases by its blood
