••A most enjoyable, afternoon was spent
at S. S. No. 8 on Thursday, December
20th, when the pupils assisted by some of
the former pupils of the school, entertain-
ed their parents and friends with their
Xmas tree and entertainment. A splen-
did program of choruses, songs, recitations
solos, dialogues and drills was given with
Bobby Scott as chairman. Laura Bone
• and Willie Bolt both delighted the audi-
ence with with their violin solos, and
Gracie•Scott made ah excellent accompan-
ist to the many musical numbers on the
.program. Santa Claus arrived quite on
time and delighted the children while dis-
tributing the gifts from . the tree. Two
little girls passed around candy. Before
leaving everybody heartily joined in sing-
ing the National Anthem.

SPAIN loves her turkeys. Nor does
she find it necessary to run them
• to death on the farms in order to
make their meat tender, for 'the fowls
are driven into town from long dis-
tances,' and their feet are tarred to
withstand the hardness of the roads.
For three days before Noche Buena
the streets of the cities and villages
are thick with squawking poultry and
bleatfng Iambs and kids that are des-
tined for the slaughter.
Cuba: fattens up her turkeys on wal-
nuts to make their flesh more tooth-
some. Mexico grinds the cooked tur-
key to a paste, which is mixed with
chili,, raisins, currants, wine and a few
other ingredients into what is called
mole de guajalote. France, too, al-
though she shows her partiality for
turkeys by cramming them with truf-
fes, coquettes with her Christmas
menu. Now she throws her scarf to
blood red sausage, fat and juicy; now
to stewed hare with unfermented
wine; again to pheasants, to hazen
hens, to heath teas.
In Brittany the home cured ham
gives savor to the rye bread and to the
chocolate porridge, especially dedi-
cated to Noel. In Cuba baked hams,
preciously boiled in champagne and
well sugared, vie for favor with a
Spanish piece de resistance called
"Mors and Christians," in reminiscence
of a page in Spanish history, and made

on the day before Christmas a the air is
shrill and cries of kids being brought
to market in panniers swung from
donkey backs. Chickens, pigeons, tripe,
boiling hot, are other dainties appro-
priate to the season, as well as tur-
keys, geese and calf's head.
German and Scandinavian countries
nre noted for the bounty of their
Christmas cheer. In rural neighbor-
lieods the tables are spread from
Christmas to Epiphany. England, too,
offers wide and .varied hospitality. In
Warwickshire, for instance, they serve
roast crab apples with chine of pork
and elder wine. Yorkshire has its

noon, After supper we soon decided
to go to bed as the whole place war
lit darkness and nothing worth while
was vIsable. Next tuor3liug we char-
tered• u
.t cab a cl wont out to do the
town.
In speaking of York let me first
say that it is probably the very old-
est large city in England and probate
ly 'more English history has beer
made there than in any other place
on the Isand with the possible excep-
tion of London is self . The city play
ed an important part in the Wars of
she Roses, several battles having beer
fought at its gates. Oliver Cromwel'
lived within Rs walls and his home
still stands in an old dilapidated pari
of the city known as the 'Shambles'.
At the time the Romans over rag
the country they built a great wall
around the old city and from time
to time afterwards the walls were re-
paired • or rebuilt and now very little
of the original wall remains although
a complete wall is in existence. The
city itself long ago out grew the con -
nes .of the wall and now only about
half of it is within the enclosure.
ofYork which I n lose
The views o ry c e c
will give you some idea of the gates
or entrance to the old town which are
still in use. Much of the wall was re-
built in the year 1265.
York Minister is the next place of
interest or rather the first place of
interest after passing the walls. It
is a magnificient place built very
much after the style of Rheims Cath-
edral which has beeu laid in ruins
by the Huns. York Minster presents
a very, imposing sight both inside and
out. It is built of white stone which,
although darkened with ago here and
there, is very beautiful , The inter-
ior is even more striking than the
exterior. The soft multi -colored
lights falling from the strained win -
down combined with the vast still-
ness of the place brings home to one
when at the threshold that a house of
God is being entered. The, remains
of many celebrated hien fest in the
Minister and the white marble figures
marking their resting places add
much to the beauty as well as the
solenity of it all. On one wall a
magniflelerit tablet has been placed in
memory of Admiral Sir Christopher
Craddork and the gallant men wt
lost their lives with him during the
naval action off the coast of Chile in
1915. Hanging above the tablet are
throe flags which the Admiral lead on
his Flag Ship. the Good Hope, at the
time she sank, Just before we left
the organist started to play ou the
immense pipe organ. The thundering
mellow notes were quite unlike any I
had ever heard before.
Next we went to the ruins of St.
Leonard's -Hospital situated in What
is now known as the Yorkshire Phil-
osophical Society's Gardens: The
Hospital was originally founded in
the year A. D. 937 and was rebuilt
in 1109. Parts of it are still in good
condition but the building itself is
hopelessly beyond repair now. Part
of the old Roman wall built in the
years from 98 to 116 still stand near
one corner of the ruins, At one cor-
ner of the grounds is a multangular
tower which I suppose was originally
built as a fortification.
Continuing with. the grounds next
we come to the museum. It is built
on the site of an old Roman building
and many of the relics now on ex-
hibition were dug out of the ground
•underneath the new building, The
museum is a very good one and con-
tains elicit interesting things as three
Egytian Mummies, fossil remains of
the Cave Lion, Mammoth and other
extinct animals. Some of theta are
an enormous size and much larger
than the elephant of to -day. I was
much interested in the Bell -metal

THE SAME
OLD PRICES
Did you ever reflect that your dollar
has only a purchasing power of 60
cents compared to four years ago.
In one case, however, a dollar . will
do as much for you now as ever it
would. A house worth $2000, four
years ago can still be bought for the
seine money, but, now as a $ has only
a sixty cent value, in almost every
other case the $2000 property is really
only $1200, comparatively speaking. •
Think this over carefully and you
will conclude to put your money in
real estate while the dollar is cheap.
Better be quick about it too before the
other fellow gets wise and puts up his
price.
We wish also to call your attention
to the fact that there is no increase in
Fire, Life or Accident Insurance rates.
We also sell R.R. tickets at the same
old prices except for the war tax that
goes direct to the Government.

Unpleasant 'War Bread.
Reports of illness through eating
war bread are being reeeived front
all over the country, and the news •
that Lord Rhondda has instituted an
inquiry into the cause will come as
a relief to many, The bread is said
to have gigots nrise to digestive
ve
troubles and then eruptions is many
districts. s This is said to be due to
bsin
the fact that some Iter a s are using
imported flour that contains beans
and rice -ingredients which are quite
unfit for 'read makirte. Tho in -
elusion of the germ sets free a large
percentage of fat, which is unsuitable
i estions. Then, weak d g of
regulation doe
course,flour s not
possess the keeping properties which
wheaten flour does, and this fact
again gives rise to disorders. The
grey loaf can never be as. palatable
as the white one, but it can be made
equally digestible and nourishing if
the necessary precautions are taken.
Still, English bread of to -day with
all its defects, is not as bad as that
which the Parisians lead to satisfy
their hunger with at the time of the
siege of Paris, when a quantity of,
straw was mixed with theflour in
order to help eke out the supplies of
grain.

dawn of history has always been fam

er. If you will study the pictures
you can gather a good idea of Prim -
'cess Street.
Irl the course or 'the morning we
decided to go out to the Forth bridge
so arranged to go in a 'char -a -bane'
(largo motor bus built especially for
sight -seers,) Tho trip out, about
seven miles was fine but had no es-
pecially outstanding features as we
travelled through a residential part
of the city and then through a very
home like country community where
there were some excellent crops of
wheat. Finally we arrived at the
village of Dalmeny. (It is a few sizes
larger than the Dalmeny we know in
Canda.) Here we disembarked and
after showing our passes and other-
wise giving on account of ourselves.
we were given special passes permit-
ting us to go up on the bridge. Only
soldiersr
a e up
allowed
e there even
with passes. Five minutes walk up
a bridle path brought up to the rail-
way tracks and the approach to the
bridge and from there we got pur first
insight into what the Forth* bridge
really is. The total 'engtlt is one
and a half miles and the highest part
is 361 feet above the water. The
structure originally cost 3,500,000
Pounds (Sterling) or $17,500,000.
The weight of steel used in construe -
ton was 51,000 toes. No wonder it
is classed as one of the world's great-
est engineering feats.
We walked almost half way ac-
ross and there stopped to view the
greatest man made sight I have ever
seen -,the Britsh Fleet, or a great
part of it. lying proudly at anchor
in the calm waters of the Firth . As
far as the eye could see up the Firth
lay lines of Submarines; Torpedo
Boat Destroyers; Scout Cruisers;
Battle Cruisers; Dreadnaughts; and
Super -dreadnaughts. From the lar-
gest to the smallest of Naval fighting
craft were there and they certainly
had the appearance of being able to
give a good account of themselves,
There wore many famous battle
scarred boats there and I only wish I
could tell you more about them now
but will have to wait until after the
Star is over.
Later in the day we went to Carl-
ton Hill; a high piece of ground to
the East of the city. . Upon it stands
a number of monuments and public
buildings. There is the lofty Obelisk
erected to the memory of some polit-
ical martyrs the navies of whom I
have forgatten. 'There is .also the
ltoyal Scottish Observatory which is
is :•econd only to Greenwich. Ou the
South brow of the hill is the Nelson
monument which stands 192 feet high
and was erected in 1815. The mon-
ument is surrounded by a time ball
which falls daily at 1 p • m • at which
time a gun in the Castle fires one
round. There is the uncompleted
National Monument Intended to com-
morate the victories of the Scottish
soldiers who fought in the Peninsula
War and at the Battle of Waterloo,
c ring to the lack of funds the work
was never completed and today only
the foundation and twelve, massive
pillars stand as they wore left years
ago. The Scotch people have a habit
of referring to this fiasco as 'Edin-
burgh's Disgrace'.
I might also mention here that on
our return we passed Canongate Par-
ish Church, built in 1688. 'In the ad-
joining Church Yard is burled a Scot-
ch poet by the name of Ferguson on
who's grave Robert Burns had a tab-
let placed bearin gthis epitaph;
