"THE RATTLE OF ROUEN." Wijl Bitielt Tells of a Coosa Shave He Had is the Preach City. The London Free Press one day last week published the following letter from Sergt. W. E. Elliott. formerly on the staff of that paper, and son of Mr. and Mrs. G. M. Elliott of town. When common soldiers curie out of the mud and vermin of the well-known but alightly unpopular "(onward arra" and are pernutted a fleeting fortnight among the sights and sound of a city un- spoiled by the Hun. they do not npeld much time"doing" cathedrals or admiring statues. This if by way of explann in case my impressions of Routs frivolous. Since kavuig England, where double - decked street cars flourish, 1 had not seen a trolley. The first thing I did it Rouen was to board one—the wrong one, of course, but that was the fault of the M. P. at the station. Rouen had a 'ovulation before the war of about 120,000. Nobody knows what it is now. bat. anyway, the street car system is about the sire of that in London, Ontario. The cars are small. and platforms tiny. but so is the fare —two or three cents, and no transfer. The speed is not terrific. 1 generally walk. At many points the track is tat close to the sidewalk that the motor Indy has to ring the bell to warn narm to get out 0! the way. Nobody laughed when an indignant soldier, who was nearly run into by a car, exclaimed, "I fey. where are you going!" You would easily have time to get a light from Ow cigarette of a pabaengei leaning out. The crews are mostly women, in a uniform dress of Mack, and bright. busi- ness -like people they are. Just as in Lon- don. Ontario. drivers of heavy Toads like to keep their slow-moving wagons on the rads as long as possible. and the exchange of language between motorman and driver almost made me homesick. WOMEN IN WALK. I Speaking of cal -women in black re- minds one that the widow's veil as a very, very common sight here. The thousands of woolen in black, throughout France. Yet Rouen is normally cheerful. 1 shonild say. To a barbarian from the land of ruined villages, it seemed even gay. But then it is something to sleep between white sheets. unclothed in uniform: to wash as often as desired; eat at a table and talk to neat. kindly mo urn once again. 1t is true that madame. at the billlet. cannot "comprez" my French, and I don't get one word in ten of hers, but the way she looks after our comfort is more eloquent of her hospitality than words. And mon- sieur shakes hands every tint we cane in and : miles, 1 think. behind his dense black whiskers. 1 have discovered why so many Freoce mein wear all this thick foliage around their faces. It is a terrible thing to be shaved by a French barber. One soon finds that out. and I never expected to undergo the operation again. 1 here are military barbers from whom a soldier may always get a haircut in pre - scripted hours. In return one may (a) give hen a franc; (h) say "thank you" Of •••(C) walk away without doing either. All three are legitimate. Method (a) gives best results if you are to be a regu- lar customer. Military bathers do not shave eustonrers, as a rule. Having ac- quired an excellent haircut and shave myself, 1 decided to treat myself to a face massage and get the dust of Northern France out of what tts.d to be my com- plexion. In the street of the Big Clock i found a very classy tonsorial parlor, with a big :notice outside. "Berber shop is open." Monsieur. the barber, however, explained that dinner demanded his atten- tion. I walked another mile—barber shops are really war, e—and found one closed, to reopen at "1 heure." Rather than wait. 1 trudged on, and learned that the next shop was 'Er eine- till "2 heure." I saw at once that i was !proceeding in the wrong direction and doubled back to the original den. It was closed!

After encountering large numbers of "Coiffure" shops "pour dames" only, I discovered a he -barber standing in his doorway. In case he was outward bound.

There are some beautiful women over here all right. but I have never felt quite the same about it since i saw one kill a fowl with a pair of domestic scissors. One never knows. does one ? Still. there was Jeanne D'Arc, to whose memory this city has erected statues and tablets and named for her its principal business street. (British soldiers mostly call that street "Roo John Dark.") Anyway, Jeannie died somie time ago. and 1 had to get my impressions from contemporaneous femimty. There are two young lady tailors on Rue D'Elhneuf. They occupy a shop about the size of a piano box and do all sorts of mending for the military- They have three chairs.

Officers of) all the Allied armies, Belgian refugees. French police with their long swords, turbaned artillery dnvers from British India, black aoldiers from the French colonies. mix in the street traffic. Motor leads of stretcher cases from the hospital trains speed by attracting no more notice than marching parties of Hun prisoners. laden with their queer -looking kits and guarded by one or two bored -looking French soldiers. Life at the base is interesting. 'Tit Battle of Rouen," the Canadians statoned here call it. Most of them have been through sterner battles. and sometimes in the offices a tong -drawn whistle will imitate cleverly the whine of a shell 'coming over," or a rattle of pencils simulate Lewis gun fire. Just remind themselves. perhaps, of the "pit whence they were dragged." There's the delightful steamer trip down river and a half-dozen attractive parks, but i've written enough about Rouen. The local "Stnallnan 8 Ihgram's" is a good store. but in this city nearly every- thing is expensive except vin rouge. beer and picture post cards. Specimens of the latter herewith. Au revoir. - W. E.

Stewart. Late of Long Branch introduced to His New Charge. As already noted in The Signal, Rev. J. Ure Stewart (son of Mrs James Stew- art. South street), who had been for some time the minister of the Long Branch Presbyterian congregation. recently re- ceived a call from the congregation of Belmo't and North Yarmouth. The call was accepted and the induction took place last week, and is thus reported by The Belmont Enterprise: Tuesday, August 6th, marked an epoch in the history of Knox church. when the new pastor, Rev. J. Ure Stewart, former- ly from Long Branch. was inducted into the pastorate of Knox and St. James churches. It is almost twenty-six years since a similar service was held in Belmont, and to nearly all who were present on Tues- day the ceremony was a novel and im- pressive one. Notwithstanding the excessive heat. and the busy season among the farmers. the attendance was very large. the congre- gation of St. James being especially well represented there being about half of them present. The ministers present were Rev'ds John Cume, J. G. Stuart. W. M. Manan. G. M. Young all of Lan- don: Mr. Thortdoe, of St. Thomas; Mr. Galbraith. of Thamestord; Mr. Eastman, of Port Stanley : Mr. McDermid. of Godo rich (formerly of Fingal), and Rev. A. R. Kellam. pastor of the Belmont Methodist church. Owing to the unavoidable absence of Rev. N. H. McGillivray, of St. Thomas, the interim moderator. Rev. J. Currie. was appointed interim moderator pro tem. The Rev. Geo. M. Young. who was recent- ly inducted as pastor of Chalmers church, London, conducted the services and preached a strong sermon. taking for his text Ezekiel 47: 12. after which the Rev. Mr. Eastman. of Port Stanley. related , the facts leading up to the call. The ceremony of induction was performed by the Rev. J. Cume. who then addressed the minister, and Rev. J. G. Stuart. of London, addressed the congregation. The addresses were most appropriate and were masterpieces in their fine. After the induction services a reception of an informal nature was held, when Mr. and Mrs. Stewart were introduced to the majority of those present, and a cordial welcome was accorded the reverend gentle- man and his (artily. Refreshments were served in the basement to the members of session of both churches, as well as other officers. This event brought forth some splendid after-dinner spee. hes, prominent among which were addresses of welcome by Messrs William Campbell and William A. Brown. also greetings from the Rev. A. R. Kellam, of the Methodist church. who referred to the genial re- lations existing between the two congrega- tions in the past. and hoped they would always continue the same. Mr. Stewart replieel to these in a happy manner and thanked all for the cordial and encourag.ng manner in which he had been welcomed. On motion of the Rev. Mr. McDerm id. seconded by the Rev. Mr. Galbraith. a hearty vote of thanks was tendered the ladies for the substantial repast supplied. In the course of his remarks Rev. Mr. McDermid, who ib now pastor of Mr. Stewart's home church at Godencn, re- ferred to his previous charge at Fingal. and the pleasure it gave him to meet with the members of the London Presby tery again. It was nearly 7 o'clock before the last of the people dispersed, but all felt that a pleasant and profitable afternoon had been spent, and hoped that it presages the happy conditions which will attend Mr. Stewart's term as pastor of Knox and St. James churches. Milk Necessary for tail World's Walfare In these times of national street and high cost of living. when mothers are confronted with the children's welfare and the keening down of coats of their family's food, the University of Wisconsin. in Bulletin 191 recently issued says: "It is of great importance that at this time the ; known facts be generally understood in Iorder that the people, and particularly young children and growing boys and girls, may not sutler from improper selec- tion of foods" The oullelin. which dada with the necessity of milk for the aa- tion's welfare, brings to light the follow- ing. facts: Te increasrd price of milk leads people into making the mistake of buying leas milk. Milt is the one food which nothing else can replace. Only those people who are guided by kxig experience or religious rites will maintain the quantity formerly purehaaed. Milk is a oecessaty in the diet of grow- ing children. In the absence 01 milk eggs are theonly comparable substitute. The public must learn w appreciate, even with advancing prices, the importance of the dairy industry to the nation's welfare. Milk is a perfect food. It contains all the factors of nutrit on in adequate pro- portions and is an indispensable supple- ment to other food rnatenale during growth. Milk supplies adequate mineral mater- ial for rapid growth. Grains when used aerie produce nutritive failure, but ,are changed to valuable products when sup- plemented with milk. Milk furniahes the very best of proteins. Proteinsare not all alike in promoting growth. Those of the grains are poor in quality, but when supplemented with milk or whey become very efficient.
