Model Eighty.Five Four
Big, Powerful
Real Farnily ars
We know through years of experience
that a tEirty-five horsepower motor placed
in a car of proper weight, makes an ideal
driving combination for all but the most
radical speed demons.
Year after year for many years the de-
mand for the thirty-five horsepower -Over --
land models has increased in Canada and
this year the sales of the Model Eighty -
Five have eclipsed all previous records.
You can have your choice in this
Eighty -Five Model of either a four or a
six cylinder motor. The wheelbase of the
Four is 112 inches—that of the Six 116
inches.
Both are comfortable easy riding cars.
Each represents what we believe to be
the best motor car value' for the money
in Canada.
Come in. And see them. Ask for a
delrnonstration. We are at your service.
If you prefer a closed car, we have a
wide variety of types to choose from

own village of Dungannon, was born.
It wits a delightful sensation, indeed,
''having my first railway journey to
Dungannon, but 1 With sorry that for
amore reasons than one that it wan
not the Huron County Dungannon
was going to. Ireland's Dungannon
is amuch larger place and is an im-
portant market town. with several
large linen factories and mills in it..
.Although there is a family of Mal -
loughs there and ono of Stothers'
too, by the way, 1 was unable to as-
certain what connection, if any it
had to the family of the same name
back home.
Nine o'clock Monday evening I
found myself _aboard a mail steamer
sailing froiu Ilelfastt docks and leav-
ing the Emerald Isle, where I had
spent six delightful days, behind me.
Henceforth I will take a great deal
of interest in Ireland and her disturb-
ing political questions and my earn-
est hope and desire is that the d
iff
er-
eat factions will sean got together
and settle the home Rule question
for themselves. The ,very wind that
blows softly over brown acres of bog
in old Erin carries perfumes and
sounds that England does not know
the women digging the potato land
are talking of thing that. England
does not understand, and I doubt if
England will ever fully understand
the wants and needs of the Irish
people. But England has given Ire-
land a chance to settle her own pol-
itical and religious difficulties and I.
firmly believe that a vast amount of
good will result from the Irish con-
vention now sitting.
While in Dublin I saw and heard
things which made are rather pessi-
mistic concerning the chances of an
early and satisfactory settlement, but
before I left Ireland a few days later,
after hearing many expressions of op-
inion from different classes of people
in the north and south of Ireland. I
had reason to feel quite hopeful and
optimistic. And I honestly believe
now that far better times are ahead
for the good people of the Emereld
Isle.
My next article will deal with my
visit to Glasgow, Loch Lomond and
the Land o' Burns.

LIFT YOUR CORNS
OFF WIT FINGERS
Tells how to loosen a tender corn
or callus so it lifts out
without pain.
You reckless men and women who
are pestered with corns and who have
at Least once a week invited an awful
death from lockjaw or blood poison
are now told by a Cincinnati authority
to use a drug called freezone, which
the moment a ftw drops are applied
to any corn or callus the soreness is
relieved and soon the entire corn or
callus, root and all, lifts off with the
fingers.
• Freezone dries the moment it is
applied and simply shrivels the corn
or callus without inflaming. or even
irritating the surrounding tissue or
skin. A small bottle of freezone v6'ill
cost very little at any of the drug
stores but will positively rid one's feet
of every hard or soft corn orharderaed
callus. If your druggist hasn't any
freezone he can getit at any wholesale
drug house for you.
A Free War Map
Every home in Canada should have a
map of the great war area in Europe to
see where our Canadian boys are fighting.
The colored map offered free with the
Family Herald and Weekly Star of Mon-
treal is complete in every detail. It is
the best map yet published. The sub-
scription price for the Family Herald is
now $1.25 a year but to make up the dif-
ference to their subscribers this great map
which could not be produced under two
dollars a copy except in such large quan-
tities is given free to all subscribers new
and renewal who pay a year's subscription
$1.25. It is a great big bargain indeed.

I went forward to find a 'dugout' among
the guns. You see, our particular branch,
.eing the aatiilery, we must, to make a
round job of our work, serve the guns in
action, as well as the battery wagon lines
and Ammunition Column in the rear.
Fortunately we found a dugout almost in
the centre of the area occupied by our
guns, without having to build one. This
one had been built by our generous friend
the "I3osche" and with very little trouble
we were able to clean it and occupy it fir
our forward canteen and our cave -dwellers
were able to carry on their whole "(hole)
program. As this location is within two-,
thousand yards of the Bosche line;'' all
goods have to be sent up after dark and,
as "Fritz" shells the roads very heavily
from 7 to 11, p,m. it generally makes a
very late trip unless we Want to have a
"Turkish Bath."
No matter under what conditions, the
forward work is never neglected and, in
the matter of stock, always takes prefer-
ence over canteens in back area. Quite
frequently' articles can be purchased in
forward canteens that cannot be secured
for love or money farther back•. Here,
too, we try, as far as possible, to keep cold
Millie on in the day time and hot drinks
at rklrt, but the difficulty Of procuring
water makes this a very trying problem,
This area 19 under full observation in the
daytime and it is asking for trouble to
shotany ny movement acue ground be-
tween
the break of day and twilight, and,
on account of this, most of the buying is
done at night, which dogs riot give our
small staff much opportunity to lay in a
supply of water. however, as a trench
leads to the dugout door it makes it fair-
ly safe for men coming there at any time
of the day or night.
Each day from our rwar area, one-hun-
•dred daily newspapers (Continental Edi-
tion) printed in English, are purchased
and sent by special messenger on bicycle
to the dugout from whence they are re-
layed to the gun -pits -with the complim-
ents of
omplim-
ttsof the Y.M.C.A.The Gunners,er.
,
through our service, get the daily papers
quite as regtilarly as the folks back home
in Canada.
As soon as we had both places running
weld we settled down to our usual routine
of work, getting up concerts, organizing
sports and arranging; for religious services
as well as keeping the dug -out supplied
with all necessities. At the present time,
our particular branch, in one way or an-
other, is serving 4000 Canadians in
France.
Since returning to France I have mot
on different occasions, George Moffatt,
"Rich" and George Howson, Alf. Posliff,
Ross Maxwell, Tom McDonald, Paul
Gillespie, Bert Williams, Harold IIins-
cliffe and Ben Holland. I am hoping on
some future, not far distant, occasion, to
have the opportunity of getting these
boys, and any other Wingham boys that
I can get in touch with, together for a
little festive occasion, for it certainly
makes life more pleasant to be able to
meet one's own home pals.
Just before closing I wish, through you,
to thank the Women's Institute, Girls'
Club and any other Society or individuals
who have, froom time to time, during the
France, June 20th, 1017,
Dear Mrs. Anderson:—
Just a few lines to let you know that 1
got your well -knit pair of socks the other
day.
You may be sure I was surprised to
find out that they came from Wingham
and I was more surprised when feeling in
them to find your note. It shows that we
are well supported by thoughts and ac-
tions by the older people at home. It is
these comforts that bind us to the people
at home too, we know we are not forgot-
ten as soon as we leave her shores.
They kept me in England for quite a
long time but finally last St. Patrick's
day we bid her good-bye, corning to the
land that promises little rest, where the
boom of guns is continually heard.
At first the weather to us was very cold,
wet and disagreeable, but I believe it had
been more so previous to the time when
we carne out, but for quite a while now it
has been excellent a *warm spell occasion-
ally, but on the whole, line.
I have run into about half .a dozen or
to from home'atd around about, but as
we are kept very localised we do not see
very many of the itr1st who are out here.
Well I shall close wishing you the best
of health and spirits and assure you that
the socks were very much appreciated.
Yours truly

entering the room on the arm. of het father,
was attired in a dress of white silk crepe -

orange blossoms and carrying a bouquet

decorated with pink and white asters and
a large white bell i:r ;Jo .;.;etre, After the
congratulations were received the friends

sents, which were numerous and costly,
betokened the widespread popularity of
the happy couple. They are now residing
on the groom's farm on the third cences-

bride was a pendant of pearls and a cameo

The Immortal Cry of
Canada at the Second
Battle of Ypres.
The defence of Ypres follow-
ing the first ghastly gas ati:ack
April 22, 1915, exalts all
history. By it our men were
transfigured°and the undying,
imperishable Soul of Canada
revealed.
In the name of these heroes of
Ypres, Festubert, Givenchy,
VimyRidge, Lens,The Somme,
Verdun -k -aye and the Death-
less "Old Contemptibles"---
we beseech you, Women of Canada, to Dedicate
Yourselves and `Y our Families to War Service
by signing the Food Service Pledge. "
The sacrifice is not great. We merely want you
to 'substitute other foods for part of the white '
bread, beef and bacon your family now eat.
Woman's Auxiliary, Organization of Resources Comm ktee, ht Co-operation with The Hon. W. J. Rama, rood Controller.
"What follows almost` defies des-
cription, The effect of these poisonous
gases was so virulent as to render the
wholeof the line held by the French
Division practically incapable of any
action at all.
The Stand of the Canadians
"The left flank of the Canadian
Division was thus left dangerously ex-
posed .to serious attack in flank, and
there appeared to be a prospect of their
being, overwhelmed and of a successful
atteinpt by the Germans to cut off the
Satish troops occupying the salient to
the East.
"In spite of the danger to which
they were exposed the Canadians held
their ground with a magnificent display
of tenacity and courage; and it is not
too much to say the bearing and conduct
o% these splendid troops averted a dis-
aster which might have been attended
with the most serious consequences."
