as to the future relations of European
powers and the future government of
Europe. They speak of the enthrone-

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

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.

HE DAWN OF
YOUNG WOMANHOOD
Girls upon the threshold of woman
hood often drift inte a decline in spite
of all care and attention. 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. Sold by all med'cine
dealers or by mail at 60 cents a box or

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.

WHY SNOW HEATS THE HANDS
The Brain Calls to the Blood to Help

it Is very wondertul that out ootids

c'ertafu that the cold Snow takes neat
swap very quickly trove our warm

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

"Sir!" said the ;kung woman, with
what seemed to i;e indignation.
The young man looked embarrass-

"Yes, I did kirs you," he admitted,
"but I was impulsively insane."
"That means that a man would be
a lunatic to kiss me?"
"Well, any man cf discretion
would be just crazy to kiss you."
This seemed to ease the ~train,
and, no jury being present to muddle
affairs, a satisfactory verdict was
reached.

A prisoner at the session had been
duly convicted of theft, when it was
seen, on "proving previous convic-
tions," that the accused had actually
been in prison at the time the theft
was committed.
"Why didn't you say so?" asked
the judge of the prisoner angrily.
