On Active Service, April 8th, 1915. Mrs, James H. Morrison, Walton, Ont. DEAR AUNT LI zlE ;-- I thought I would drop you a few lines to let you know I am still alive and well, We have changed billets since I wrote last and one morning we matched 15 miles between 7 a. m. and 1, noon, with full pack. \Vhen marching that way, a long distance we are up at 5,30 a. m„ breakfast at 6.15 and then nothing Lill the march is over. The country we are in now is beauti- ful and the laud is good agricultural land. The farmer where we are has 15 cows and big fine ones they at'e, all great milkers, They appear to be a cross between the Shorthorn and Jersey with a dark, deep red color and dark face and black nose like a Jersey. They have big udders and show every appearance b1 being great dairy stock. Milk is very cheap being only 2 cents per pint. He also has a number of fine pigs and calves and a good farm in connection, They feed their cattle great and they lie in about 2 feet of straw and are in good shape in general. His team of horses are dandies and by what he says they are worth more here than at home. One mare about 1000 franc 0200) would be worth about 5100 at home so you see that stock here is dear, I will find out what the cows axe worth, l have read about the cleanliness of Europeon dairies but so far 1 can see nothing any cleaner than at home and as for their barnyatds we are forbid - $S YOUR SUBSCRIPTION PAID A. large uuutbee of overdue eitb. scriptious are owing to THB PosT and having given plenty „f oppor- tunity to the backward noes to pay up we have reluctantly lihteed a large list in the hands of a Col- lecting Agenoy. The amounts due are in most cases only a few donate, but when there are hun- dreds of these the total makes a much larger amount than we can afford to leave uncollected. It takes more money than people can imagine to run a newspaper, but some subscribers appear to think that compositors and press- men work for nothing: that paper and ink are free as an' and that the editor lives on boquets. We thank those subscribers who have kept their labels in advance, and we ask those who are in arrears to let us bear from them as quickly as possible.

Spring is here and we are being drilled according) and are getting tough as nails with lots of physical exercise and route marching but it isn't making me any thinner.

EV 't0 .e This new Refinery gives to Canada the most up - to - date Sugar Refinery on the Continent After a year and , a half's work, we have completed and are now operating the most sanitary, up-to-date sugar refinery ever constructed. Every new and improved method of refining has been installed. No expense has been spared to make the sanitary conditions perfect. Every step in the process of manufacture is one of care and patience for quality. The result is that no hand touches the product from the time the raw sugar reaches the refinery until the perfectly refined sugar enters the home in the Original Packages. Only cane sugar used in the refinery -- no beets -- no sub- stitutes. Tell your grocer to send you Lantic Sugar in original packages. This will ensure the purity and cleanliness of the sugar used in your home. Look for the Red Ball on every package. Atlantic Sugar Refineries Limited MONTREAL, QUE. ST. JOHN, N. B.
