We have had a lot of snow here lately and although it does not stay long It is an awful storm while it Taste, I have, been riding at night when I couldn't see ten feet ahead of me. The snow ooyers up the glass of the lamp and with one's own epeed and the wind the hard snow nearly knocks one's eyes out, but that doesn' happen very often, so we have really nothing to kick about, although riding through snow three and four inches deep is a new experience and certainly tests one's engines. I give mine a slight overhaul every day, so I have had no trouble in the least. I see Joe as often as I did when I waswith the reg.

F., Army Post Office, London, England Dear Mr. and Mrs. Noble:—I have r ow taken the groat pleasure in writ• ing you a few lines hoping and trust- ing they will find you all well at home as it leaves me very much the same at present. Well no doubt you will be greatly suprised to bear from me Jim but I happened to be thinking of you today that's what put me in the notion of writing; thinking that you would like to hear from me away far off in this distant country away from all my good relatione, but what do I care, I am here to do my little bit in this great European war. I thought it my duty to serve my King and Country and therefore I am not afraid to die for my country. What put me here? when I caw others walking around in khaki I thought wet', I seem just as much able to do my bit as they are and I can assure you that I am proud that I am here fighting for liberty and that's the only way that we will get it by doing our share, don't you think so yourself Jim? Ab, but far harder job than mixing convent believe me but nevertheless I am willing to do anything to save my own country. Well Jim how is the family and Mrs. Noble. Hope they are well, hoping and trut-ting myself that this horrible war will goon be over and that I will be back arnong you all again.

Web dear friends I think .I will con- clude, ft'r the future hoping to hear from you soon. I remain yours sincerely and truly. CHARLIE. MOTORING Regulate Kidneys AND Redeye Constipation Gin Pills are acknowledged to have MI largest sale of any proprietary medicine in Canada—aa achievement solely due to their . remarkable virtue as a Kidney and Bladder remedy. Y But users of Gin Pills have discovered that this invaluable remedy also acts as n mild cathartic. The evidence of hundreds of lettere we have received establishes the very logical fact that in compounding a u.edicine to heal and tune up the Kidneys and Bladder certain of the ingredients have a stimulating effect upon the other organs, especially the bowels. It is important to know, in the case of con- stipated patients, that Gin Pills do not net harshly ou the bowels; there is no griping, but a gradual null gentle restoration of the function. Try Gin Pills for constipation. In thus relieving the bowels, yon safeguard your- self against possible Kidney trouble. Gin Pills are 50c. n box, or 6 boxes for 52.50 at your dealer's. A. trial treatment will be sent upon request, to la National Drug & Chemical Co. of Canada, Limited, Toronto. FORME -s;.. KIDNEYS When first a fellow gets a° car, he navigates it slowly; "base fiends'," be says, "those speeders are—their course is most unholy." There'll be no rocks less speed for him; such stuff annoys him greatly; he will not scorch or scoot or ekim, but jog along sedately. Ob, safety is the proper stuff,' 'he says, when feeling chatty; "twelve miles an hour is fast enough for any man not batty. The accidents of which we read are caused by silly duf- fers who have to bit abnormal speed, and many a duffer suffers," But when he's had hie car nine weeks, he sends it forth a -bumming and every country village shrieks when it be- holds hint coming, "To crawl along," he says, "is worse than walking is, dod-gist mei I don't propose that every hearse shall go a whizzing past mei" And so he scorches, in his glee, and then, some balmy morning. he winds his car around a tree, and fur- nishes a warning.

Goderich mills and freight shede. were threatened fora time by a fire which broke out in one of the fish houses at the harbor on Wednesday afternoon. The fire department re- sponded promptly, however, and quenched the flames before they got 'a start in the frame buildings surround- ing. The lose ie slight. Last week Dr. T. T. McRae of Brus- sels, purchased the fine home of Dr. W. L. Holmes in that town and gets possession next July. This has always been the residence of a doctor. It was carefully built by Dr. Graham, now of Toronto, later owned by Dr, Kalb - Nisch, who went to Berlin when Dr. Holmes bought the property twelve years ago. It is most desirably locat- ed, convenient in arrangement, and the buildings -are in good condition. A remarkable record of growth has been made by William Williams, a Goderich boy who enlisted 5 months ago with the 70th Battalion at Lond- on. In the 5 months his height has increased from 5 feet 2 inches to 5 feet 7 inches—an average growth of one inch a month. In the same time his weight has increased from 130 to 1.51 pounds. Williams is a Children's Aid Society boy, and Mr. Elliott the coun- ty ageut of the C. A. S., status that 12 boys connected with the society in this county have enlisted. Residents on the lake front in the vicinity of Colchester report 'that much damage has been done by the action of the waves from Lake Erie, which have been running very high. t Erosion in some places has been so great that anxiety is felt for historic Ohrist Church and graveyard, one of the oldest in the country. In some places water has over -run the graves and the bank is being gradually under- mined by the action of the water. There are no fewer than six former members of the 33rd Regiment Band now in the band of the 101st Battalon at Clinton. These are 11. L. Watson, D. Thompson, W.

Rance are with the 101st; Roy Munro is with the 71st Battalion; E. • Yungblut is with the Middlesex Battalion; Messrs. Buggins, Campbell and Palmer are with other regiments. Geo. Thomp- son and Jack Barwn, who have re- turned wounded from the front, were both members of the 33rd Regiment band. The old band has certainly done itsl share in helping to fill the ranks of the fighting battalions. On Friday last the remains of Mrs. Ingold of East Wawanosh were laid to rest in the Auburn cemetery. The deceased had only been sick a short time.

Billy Sunday To the Editor:— When Mr. Sunday spoke in Toronto ba said in part : "Newspapers have turned the search light on the dark dirty dungeons and oleaned them out to make the cities pure. Liquor is the crime of crimes, the sin of sine. It is the source of three-fourths of all the crime and it takes three-fourths of your taxation to care for the lobster after you have landed him. "Who foots the bill for all this? The. landlord who loses the rent, the bak- er, the butcher, the grocer, the coal merchant, the dry good merchants, and the charitable man who pity the children of the poor drunkard, who keeps them from starving, who go deep down into their pookets to sup port them, and the tax payers who maintain the jails, penitentiaries and poor houses. For every eight hundred dollars spent in producing useful and necessary commodities the working man receives $143.8 in wages. But for every eight hundred dollars spent in the manufacture of booze the working man gets only $9 84, "The saloon comes as near being the rat -role into which the working man cau clump his wages as anything this aide of hell. To Lind what the devil is doing, find what the saloon is doing. "The man voting for the saloon is voting for the devil to drag bis boy to hell and in my opinion the man wto stands and champions the saloon deserves to have bis boy die a drunk- ard. If you don't want him to die a drunkard why do you force the saloon on him? "The man who does not believe in hell has never seen a drunkard's home, The devil and the saloon keeper aro always pulling on the sanie rope. "Lincoln said that if slavery was not a crime he did not know wbat was. If the death, if the disease. If the paupe{'legs, if the crime, if the insanity, if the immorality in all its hideous forms, which results from the lioense system, does not make it a crime, I don't know what will, shout ed Sunday, "The whiskey joint has no use for the light of publicity. It is leagued with a gambling hell and the house of prostitution. Shut the enieen and these other evils beat it for their patronage is taken ar%ay.

On Monday morning of last week John Bedford, proprietor of the Bed- ford Hotel, .Goderich, was fined $100 and cotes by Police Magistrate Kelly, for selling liquor contrary to the pro- visions of the Canada Tomperanoe Act. This is a second offence. It is likely that Mr. Bedford will appeal the case, claiming that there ie no case against him, The case resulted from a search by Constable Pellow on the 1,$rh of March, when he save men in the barroom drinking. The side door was locked. The constable came iu from the rear and picked -up a glass from which he had seen one of the patrons of the bar drinking and took his oath that the sinell was that of whiskey.
