Dear Mr. Editor.
Just a line to thank you so much
for the Exeter paper. A person does
not realise how valuable a home
paper can be until he gets a few
thousand miles from home. All of
us Exeter boys are fine. The clim
ate and food seem to be agreeing
with us, -especially Lloyd Linden
field and myself. I have gained
about eighteen pounds and Lloyd has
put on more than that. The wea
ther is ideal at present, some change
from what we were greeted with
when we arrived. Between black
outs and fog it almost had us down
for a time after we landed here. We
just happened to strike the worst
time of the year to arrive plus the
m-ost severe ’ winter they have had
in this country in twenty-five years.
I have a different opinion of the
place now though. The blossoms
are blooming and the sun shining
almost every day. There is certain
ly a fine lot of places around this
district. 7 We get plenty of oppor
tunity to see most of it over
a radius of about forty miles. We
are out on convoys quite often and
there are some, real beauty spots in
this district. There is the Devil’s
Punch Bowl and the Hogsback for
instance. The Hogsback is a ridge
two or three miles in length and a
height of probably three quarters of
a mile. Of course it is a fairly
gradual slope, but from this ridge
one can see for miles. It is real
beautiful on a’ sunny day. One can
see farms, homes, villages and for
ests for miles. I imagine that when
the flowers get in bloom it will be
marvelous. The Punch Bowl is a
valley about a mile and a half across
and half a mile deep. Quite a beauty
spot also.
We were inspected by Major Gen
eral McNaughton today. We were
very busy for a day or two making
special preparation for the occasion.
He sure is all

Division. We
snappy bunch of men.
■ to take a great pride in doing things
smartly and neatly.
I got a swell parcel from a number
of people of Exeter and district yes
terday. The other boys also re
ceived one each. I certainly think
it was very nice of the bunch to
think of us. I was in the canteen
one day a short time ago. A chap
came in looking pretty much down
in the dumps. When the waitress ask
ed him what he would have. He said
“please give me a crust of bread,
a dirty plate and a cup of cold tea.”
She brought it and sat it down with
a perplexed look and he looked up
and said, “Now start to chew at me.
I feel homesick.”
How are all the boys around the
old burg. I hope they are all well.
I guess I must close for this time as
I want to. get caught up with my
correpondence which is piling up a
bit. Again thanking you for the
paper and wishing you and yours
every success.
This address is good for the dur
ation and will get us anywhere, any
time.
I remain yours,

Stubborn Cases
of Constipation
Those who keep a mass of
impurity pent up in their bodies,
day after day, instead of having it
removed as nature intended, at least
once in every twenty-four hours, in
variably suffer from constipation.
The use of cheap, harsh purgatives
will never get you any where as they
only aggravate the trouble and in
jure the delicate mucous lining of the
bowels, and are very liable to cause
piles.
If constipated take Milburn’s
Laxa-Liver Pills and have a natural
movement of the bowels. They do
not gripe, weaken and sicken as
many laxatives do.
