Slow Progress This is true with regard to the pro.. gree; on the new church. Considering tbat the foundation and walls were completed in good time, the delays since are very annoying, and at pre- sent it looks as tbnngh it was going to be an all -winter jub. The building committee claim that they have assist- ed the contractors in every way in their power, and when the latter have wanted money it has been furnished. It ie evident that the church cannot be opened this month as was intended and the levelling of the grounds and building of cement steps will have to be deferred until next year. The Trus- tees are not at all pleased with the slow progress of the work, The con- tractors have a real cause of Thanks. giving in having a patient and long- suffering Building Committee to deal with.

Soldiers "It may be taken as undeniable that the British arm, smokes more than is good for its health," and the "Hospit- al", which makes this statement men- tions that many soldiers have been sent to base hospitals suffering from various degrees of cardiac dilatation and debility. or What is usually termed "smokers' heart. It cites as an instance of the abuse of tobacco the case of a soldier who ar rived at a base hospital, with sym• ptoms ascribable to disordered heart. rAfter the doctor had made an exam- ination, be told the man that he was smoking far too heavily. "I am a fair- ly moderato, smoker," the 'soldier eplied, "What do you call moderate? Fifty cigarettes a day, I suppose?" "About eighty sir, most d ays," was the startling reply. Undoubtedly the generous manner in. which our soldiers have been suppj,;if:d with tobacco and cigarettes by people at home bas led to much excessive smoking and it is related of one soldier that•he wrote to his wife that she need send him any tobacco for a while, as he had got two pounds of it and also 500 cigarettes free from various souroee, It is not easy to suggest a remedy; but it is generally agreed among med. ical men that strenuous steps will ha% e to he taken to regulate the supply of tobacco, which has led to the preval- ence of "smoker's heart" at the front.

A public meeting had been held in the town in question and an officer of the Patriotic Fond had explained the objects of the Fund and the urgency of the call it makes on the patriotism, generosity, gratitude and sense of justice of the Canadian people. The next day came the maybr of the town to the speaker with the pathetic little his line. story on ae.
