llolpiess In Bed With Rheumatism
Until Ho Took "FRUIT.A-TIVES",
MR. ALEXANDER MUNRO
R.R. No. 1, Lorne, Ont,
"For over three years, I was
confined to bed. with Rheumatism.
During that time, I had treatment
from a number of doctors, and tried
nearly everything I saw advertised to
cure Rheumatism, without receiving
any benefit.
Finally, I decided to try `Fruit-a-
tives". Before I had used half a box,
I noticed an improvement ; the pain
was not so severe, and the swelling
started to go down.
I continued taking this fruit me-
d./eine, improving all the time, and
now I can walk about two miles and
do light chores about the place".

some of the gay tunes in the other

2 dunces, It wit.; eruct to sit Mill
though while others danced. 'Pin
school children rmiced . enough murrey
to give 2 splendid teas. These were
the best meals I have had in the
hospital. The money was given to
two ladies who for 4 years have giv-
en the boys of this ward tea every
Sunday. They knew just what to
buy, so it was a real treat. We had
another original idea conte from the
school, The Principal went to each
room and told the children the boys in
hospital bad no sugar and asked each
one to bring some, In this way he
collected enough to give us each a
half pound.
It seems most of my mail for the
past 3 weeks has been sent to the
Canadian hospital at Bexhill. They
have a bright bunch iu the Post Office
here, one would think that 5 months
was plenty of time for them to learn
where I arn, Since I made a com-
plaint I have received considerable
mail including 3 parcels and bundles
of papers. Your parcel arrived about
a week ago and was as good as gold.
The apples were good, the cakes fine
hut the best of all was the butter. No
substitute takes the place of butter
for me. All parcels containing goods
in which is sugar have to go to the
Customs officer to be assessed. So far
I have not been taxed. Parcels
nurses receive roust have Customs
charges paid. It hardly seems right.
They are in the auny doing their bit
the same as we chaps and if ours come
free why not the others P

This has been a historic lvesk for
England. President Wilson's visit
and Lloyd George's re-election as
Premier. The people proved in no
uncertain manner their appreciation
of the man who won the war. Many
thanks for the box, especially the but-
ter. Hope you had a Merry Christ-
mas and a Happy New Year.
Yours truly,
RALPH SHAW,
Varsity Man on North
Sea Trawler
The following refers to a son of Rev.
W. G. Hanna, 13. D., formerly of this
locality, now of Toronto, and will be
of interest to inimerous old friends in
Huron County :—
The war has called University men
to remarkable tasks. The following
is an extract from a letter recently re-
ceived by Principal Hutton from SV.
G. Hanna, 13. A., (U)'11. Mr. Hanna
has since been promoted to the rank
of Sub-Lieutentant R, N. V. R.
"The trawlers and drifters, on which
I spent the Winter, are small boats.
The trawlers are rarely over 120 feet
long and the drifters about 80. The
quarters on hotrod are necessarily nar-
row and the convenieuees few, The
skipper, mate, engineers and cook
sleep in bunks ranged rancid a little
cabin aft, the centre of which is fully
occupied by the mess table. The six
men in the crew live in more crowded
quarters forward. The bulk of the
space is taken up by the engine room
and coal bunkers,
Many of the boats were fishing
boats in peace time ; now they are at
a more 8000113 game. They are sea-
worthy ; too seaworthy for some land
editors, and also for the Germans.
They are out iu all weathers, perform-
ing all sorts of duties, patrol, convoy,
mine -sweeping, sub -hunting, They
ate our "wooden walls" ; literally in
some cases, for many drifters are
built of wood ; besides they do the
bulk of the work. They are the work-
taday navy at the other end of the
scale from the Grand Fleet. They ate
perhaps the best, and undoubtedly the
quickest way of becoming acquainted
with the sea in all its moods—inti-
mately acquainted in fact, for a cool
caress down the back of the neck is
often the only introduction. The
boats are small and ride every wave.
In calm weather, the gentle motion
and the swish at the bow called to
mind the” description at the close of
one of the books of the Odyssey, evhere
the men shove off from Ithaca at
dusk, sail with a fair wind all night,
the bow plashing in the waves, and at
dawn push their prow on the sandy
shore, The other scene, a trawler of
drifter in a gale, I will not attempt to
describe by any such reference lest I
should become entangled trying to
mount Neptune on Pegasus, I will
say this, however, that profanity is
heard at times and not without cause.
When, for inattinee, the dinner has
glided from table to deck between
mouthfnlls or When a Oanitclian with a
College education, propped against the
edge otitis bunk, neither sitting nor
standing, vainly endeavors to draw on
hie trousers, then surely strong lan-
guage is justiflsd.
The boats are manned by fishermen,
rather a class by themselves, different
from the rest of the English people.

When the Titanic was sunk, The 'Toronto Daily Star rushed seven members of the staff to New
York to "cover" the story. When Ulster threatened rebellion, three Star men travelled 4,000 miles to
get the facts. When the Halifax explosion occurred, a small army of photographers and writers went
to get the story.
The Star policy is to cover big events in a big way.
To cover the war meant not only to tell what was happening every hour, but to explain the; signi-
ficance of each event. The occasion demanded skilled men; correspondents who could get news and
interpret it, and others—war experts—who could piece together the happenings on the battlefields and
in the capitals and weigh them all for the benefit of the reader.
The Toronto Daily Star Has the Latest News
Service in Ontario
Of such experts, Hillaire Belloc, was the most noted in Great Britain, and Frank H. Simonds in
America. So because The Toronto Daily Star "covers big events in a big- way," it retained these two
foremost reviewers to interpret the strategy and politics of war.
The Daily Star's Peace Conference despatches are exceptionally complete. The service of the
Canadian Press and the Canadian Associated Press --alone considered sufficient by many Canadian news-
papers—are supplemented in The Star by cables from the following and other exclusive correspon-
