They speak of the enthrone- ment of right, of new sanctions for in- ternational law, of the protection of the rights of the smaller rations. There are indications of the growth of a world's public opinion, such as hardly existed a century ago. The very magnitude of the present conflict, the perversion of the achievements of science to slaughter and destruction on a huge scale, have turned the thoughts of men to the consideration of remedies IT IS THE SPIRIT THAT COUNTS (Toronto Star).

WINGHAM CEMETERY. Wingham, June 21st. 1915. To the Editor of the Times. Dear Sir, —A few questions I would like the Town Fathers of Wingham to think over concerning the cemetery:— What benefit do the country people receive for the extra charge made for cemetery lots? Do you keep a caretaker? If you do, why is the grass on some of the walks a foot high? What has been done with the large amount of money received from the sale of lots. Surely the cemetery is not used as a source of revenue to pro- vide for other items of expenditure. While in its present unkept condition, the cemetery is a blot on roar fair town. Yours truly, ONE INTERESTED. THE FIELD KITCHEN The field kitchen, such as those pur- chased by the Ladies' Patriotic Society, is built in two sections, each mounted on two strong iron wheels of artillery pattern and linked together by strong iron chain, the front portion contains two bins, one to hold two bushels of raw vegetables, and the other 250 lbs of raw meat. This section also carries the Cook's work table and carving board, the latter being 10 x 48 in. and can be used as a seat for cooks when on the march, under this is the tool till, lined with heavy sole leather and contains woodman's axe, clearer, meat saw, skinning knife, slicing knife, steel, large fork, six paring knives, can scraper and an adjustable s. wrench. Under the tool till and to the back are two compartments, one contains two canisters for tea and sugar, the other one canister and space for small utensils. These compartments are enclosed by drop doors fitted with special lock. The cooking section is heavily lined with asbestos and steel so when the dampers are closed, the food will remain hot for hours. At the rear is a large cooking oven and equipped with full sized roast pans. Over the oven and fire box is the hot water tank with a capacity of 33 gallons. The cooking is done in four containers of eleven gallons each. The fire box is in the centre with the boiling cans on each side. the heat striking the sides, thus preventing the food from sticking and scorching. The weight of the kitchen, without any supplies is 3000 lbs. ANNIVERSARY OF WATERLOO. , Last Friday was the hundredth an- niversary of the battle of Waterloo, which closed the twenty years' struggle l with Napoleon. There is a natural dis- position to compare that struggle with that in which we are now engaged. We all hope that this conflict will end in a better settlement of Europe than that which followed Waterloo. Great Britain, having made a large advance in freedom and democracy, is allied with Republican France. Italy, which was practically non-existent a hundred years ago, is now on the side of the allies. Russia has shown itself to be open to modern ideas, and will un- doubtedly be influenced in this direction by her allies. We find, too, in the speeches made by Mr. Asquith and by leading French - 0 Bur since Bible organization of human&society with a view to substituting order for anarchy. But first the allies must win. Neither Europe nor the world has anything to gain from a German victory. In such an event we could not look forward to any improvement in international re- lations. Germany, with a small terri- tory, a large population, and a power- ful army, looks to force rather than to law for the fulfilment of her ambitions. And Germany has clearly evinced an intention to use force and violence ruthlessly, and has so placed itself in the class of outlaws dangerous to society. THE MILITARY FIELD KITCHEN. A meeting of the appointed delegates of the Women's Patriotic Society of Huron, formed for the purpose of pur- chasing a military field kitchen for the use of the Canadian troops for overseas service, was held at Clinton on Tuesday of last week. There were present Mrs. Fitten, of Exeter; Mrs. Coulson and Mrs. Neil, of Seaforth; Mrs. Manning and Dr. Shaw, of Clinton, and Miss Gibson and Sheriff Reynolds, of Goderich. Resolutions were passed appointing Mrs. Fitten, of Exeter, secretary of the Society, and Sheriff Reynolds, treasurer; also theta military field kitchen be purchased with the money collected by the ladies from the several municipalities, and the same be presented to the 33rd Battalion, now at London, in command of Lt Col. Wil- son, of Seaforth; also, if the funds al low it, to include a field kitchen for the officers, same to be purchased from McClary & Co., of London, if price and equipment prove satisfactory. It was decided also that the balance of the funds in the hands of the treasurer, if there be any after said purchase, be sent to Shorncliffe hospital, England.

Even strong and lively girls become weak, depress- ed, irritable and listless. It is the dawn of womanhood --a crisis in the life of every girl—and prompt measures should be taken to keep the blood pure and rich with the red tint of health. If the body is not in a healthy condition at this critical stage, grave disorders may result, and future life become a burden. Deadly consumption often follows this cr)sis in the lives of young women. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills h ive saved thous- ands of young girls from what might have been life-long invalidism or early death. They are a blood -builder of un- equalled merit, strengthening weak nerves and producing a liberal supply of rich, red blood, which every girl needs to sustain her strength. Over and over again Dr. Williams' Pink Pillis have proved their .value to women and girls whose h Ith was failing. Miss Jennie Gere:.. St. Jer- ome, Que., says: "At e age of eighteen my health w . completely shattered; I was su',eri from anaemia with all its attendan e Is. The trouble forced me to leave hool. I suffered from headaches, was tired and breath- less at the least exertion. 1 had no appetite and my face and lips were literally bloodless. A good friend ad- vised the use of Dr. Williams' Pink fills, and thanks to this great medicine I am again enjoying good health with a good appetite, good color andaspirit of energy". Every anaemic girl can be made well and strong through the use of Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills.

Langford, of Listowel, a former rector, will conduct the services in St. John's Church, Brussels, next Sunday. The Charles Cook farm, concession 0, Grey Township, has been purchased by John Jackson, who owns the 200 acres across the road from it. Word has been received that George Wilkinson, who lived here some years ago, died on May 16 at Bradford, Eng- land, aged 75 years. His sister, with whom he made his home, passed away three days after. Pneumonia was the cause. Neither was married. MORRIS A former resident of Morris town- ship and Brussels passed away on May 16th, at Bradford, England, in the person of Mr. Geo. Wilkinson, aged 75 years. After a sojourn in Canada for several years, he returned to the land of his birth about 20 years ago where he continued to reside with a sister. Deceased never married. A peculiar circumstance was that while brother and sister had enjoyed comparatively good health they died within three days of each other, Miss Ellen dying on May 19th. Pneumonia was the cause. Mr. and Miss Wilkinson were brother and sister to Joseph Wilkinson, former- ly of Morris, now living in Hensall locality. He visited in England2 years ago and found his folk well at that time. The older people of the community will remember George Wilkinson, who was a genial gentleman and was very warm to anything that . was British, Their demise came very unexpectedly as a recent letter reported them in good health. A quiet but pretty wedding was solemnized at the home of . Geo. W. and Mrs. Proctor, Morris, on Wednesday, June 9th, when their eldest daughter, Jennie, became the wife of James Martin Grigg, a prosperous farmer of East Wawanosh, Rev. I. W. Kilpatrick officiating. Bride entered the parlor leaning on the arm of her father, to the strains of Lohengrin's Bridal chorus, played by Miss FlorcncetProcter, sister of the bride, and took her place under a dainty arch, banked with ferns and plants. The bride wore a gown of cream gloria silk. trimmed with white satin and shadow lace, and carried a shower boquet of carnations and ferns. Misses Sadie and Edith Hill made charming flower girls. gowned in pink silk and carried a basket of pink and white roses. During the signing of the register, Miss Tessie Halliday sang "0 Promise Me." After congratulations the guests repaired to the dining -room where a sumptuous wedding dinner was served. The room was decorated with flowers and bunting. After some time spent with music and social chat the wedding couple left on a motor trip amid good wishes and showers of rice and confetti. The many useful and beautiful gifts showed the high esteem in which the couple are held. Groom's gift to the pianist was a pearl ring and to the flower girls dainty silver pins. LOW FARE.

The Yezidees, a peculiar Turkish sect, are perhaps the only people In the world who consider certain letters, words and phrases as belug cursed and the person who pronounces them a worthy subject for immediate destruc. tion. They attach no value to human life, and to these ordinary dangers'are add ed those arising from the embarrass• ing etiquette of conversational Inter. course with them, for if any one toad' ventently speaks the word "devil," "Satan" or anything with the same meaning he commits a mortal offense, and to cut off his need Is a God pleas.

She warmth of our hands is derived entirely from the blood. except at times .v nen something bot is ac'tu;Uly shining upon them. Therefore, for some res or other. a very wuc'h huger amount of blood than usuau must be flowing through our nands. The blood is no warmer to itselt, or the whole of the body would at once notice it, but what really happens is that the hands are getting richer and quicker supply of it. The effect is just the same, really, as the delightful glow that we feel after a cold bath. The brain bas the duty of taking care of the skin, as of every other part "of the body. Now, when the skin has been chilled Its life has been heavily taxed. and It will suffer unless it is compensated, So the brain orders the small blood vessels in the shin. wherever it has been chilled, to relax and widen so that the warty blood is able to circulate quickly tbroueh theta.—"The CIt11d's Book of h tom lenge.
