"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! I re-
t urnod to the office. but being of an 'ob.
,,timate disposition, took up the search af-

grain till I could have shrieked at him. Af-
ter every vicious swipe with that awful
razor I looked in the mirror to see what
features i(any, were left. Then he rubbed
some devilish liquid into the smarting
flesh. and enquired if 1 wanted a shampoo.
1 said, "Just brush dry." so he poured a
half pant off bay rum into my hair and
naked it in.

have the massage. He called from the
back shop an elderly gentleman. who ap-

that might have been massage cream.
Then, while 1 waited for him to com-

public performance is concerned. Even if
it were, I would not give up Canadian
citizenship and aeek na'uralization in
France. There are some beautiful women

quite the same about it since i saw one

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 "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

really nothing to be afraid of.

but she closed the window.
When the battalion was out fora rest a
while ago, one of the humorists marching
near me said: "We're gettin' so far ba:k
we ought tome some Yanks doon,"
I'm so tar back now that I see heaps of
them. (Of course, that's only fun -the
"Yanks" are doing their hit in the front

cosMI ourAN CITY.
It's a cosmopolitan cityust now, this
port of Rouen. 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.

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

INDUCTED AT BELMONT.
Rev. J. U. 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.
