So far as 1 am aware there are no records' of poppies having escaped from cultivation and become troublesome as weeds in cultivated fields in Ontario, This fact, however, does not stake it safe for us to assume that the poppy might not become a weed in Ontario If it were introduced wholesale by var- ious patriotic committees throughout the province. "In view of the fact that the poppy is such a common weed in grain fields in Europe, and that the seeds have con- siderable vitality and will remain dorm- ant in the ground for several years, it seems to me there would be consider- able risk that' the poppy might become a troublesome weed in Ontario if It were introduced wholesale, for patrio- tic purposes.” HER LITTLE GIRL COUGHED UNTIL SHE FAIRLY CHOKED. , Mrs. John Reinhardt, Ridgetown, Ont., writes:—"My little girl at the age of a year and a half old had an awful cough. She would cough until she would fauly choke, and I was afraid it would go to her Lungs. I thought would use Dr. Wood's Norway Pine Syrup, as I knew of quite a few persons who had used it with good results. I am glad I did so, as I only used one bottle. It is a sure cure for coughs and colds." There is no reason why Dr. Wood's Norway Pine Syrup should not be recog- nized ae the very best cough and cold remedy on the market to -day, combining as it does the lung healing virtues of the Norway pine tree, to which are added wild cherry bark, squills, and other sooth- ing and healing pectoral remedies. It has stood the test for the past 30 years and is becoming more generally used every year on account of its great merits ie g cutin coughs, colds bronchitis, croup, g , , whooping cough, asthma, sero throat, and i and in preventing pneumonia nia o many cases P consumption. - So great has been its success that there have been a groat many imitations put do the market to take its place., See that none of these so-called "pins syrups" are handed :out to you when you ask for •"Dr. Wood's.", The genuine and original is put up in a yellow ,wrapper; three pine treed:$trW Mirk; price a 2u c, and 50c. r 'ung- The T.

All afternoon the wounded were coming back from the fighting area and going to the rear. They were quick to take advantage of any means of conveyance and the sights the saw in that respect were pathetic or amusing .according: to the mood or temperament prevailing at the time, It 'was a common sight to see in a party of the' enemy troops taking a couple of their wounded through our lines in a cart' or limber, sonic' pulling on the shafts, others pushing settee rear.

We also saw a number of cases coming down the road on InOtor cycles, sittltig behind the driver, ' One of the latter had an ex - citing ride as the ,enemy were Sweep- ing the road with machine guns at certain sepllons and the efemy shells h1 t' had thrown bricks and debris over most of it, so the poor guy behind i d do i know whether he was riding be- hind or up 00 the driver's back, By nightfall osr unit calks to sonic trenches and.took tip positions he Jtlgltt, 'flltse were the first of Silfor oltd system of trenches used. in this earlier stages of, the war. They even- tually gave us tonsidereble trouble in Hutt the enemy selected the best of them and proceeded to stake a stand, We were busy deepening and 1111- proving 11)proving our line during darkness and et dawn the order came to stove down the road to the left, The day's rations were issued and by daylight we were advancing again, but this time on a road which was slightly left of our ori- ginal, The field kitchens were in a lit - tie +village through which we were to pass, so the battalion was halted andbreakfast served; • Fritz was't invited, hut he sent along a few representatives, which scattered a number of houses, along the road and gardens, but didn't do the troops any harm. The enemy had inade full preparations for har- vesting the crops that they had wrest- ed from•the French in March.As we marched along the road We , noticed many binders standing at the corners of partly cut fields and .a few rows of stooks in each field, showing that the eneiny had ,made hasty exit. In many cases it looked as though the farmers had just unhitched for dinner, Semi - modern threshing machinery had been imported and was standing in the vil- lage ready for immediate use. Enemy captive balloons had obser- vation on us now, so his artillery paid the usual respects at frequent inter- vals, but aside from putting a few horses out of commission, the effect was nU. At 9 a,m. we again took up a position in a wheat field and awaited orders. Our brigade was to pass through couple •01 their wounded through the attackers in front of us and give the enemy an extra shove. He was making a stand in the old sysem of trenches and wire. lie must be kept on the move and we are the guys who can persuade him to do so. Precise- ly at 11 a. In. August loth, the bri- gade commenced the move. For some time we waded through wheat fields which made going somewhat slow and saw nothing of hostile troops. On breaking into open country we passed through the last of our troops, who had dug in an were holding a defin- ite and straight line. Enemy outposts sighted what was coming and opened up a barrage of machine gun fire. In a few minutes his artillery opened up and planted a little barrage in front of us but too far ahead to do any dam- age. He raised it and got too far be- hind, so again his artillery effect was 'nil, - It was useless to advance any fur- ther without t outakingr • t eve race ton t p Y a . he wasevidently S ev rt out Y S g to sand first.

In- cidentally, it was the har"dest thing I had to do in the army—crawl away and leave him. We were, by this time, web ahead of the main party of the unit and were in less danger as he was using his guns on the positions where the most troops were advancing. The enemy gun crews soon began to re- tire and in so doing had to expose themselves as we had done some hours before„ Our gunners and snipers now had a chance to turn. the tables and they certainly took advantage of it. By four o'clock his firing died down to a few ,guns. and his retirement seem- ed'general,.

TIIIS IS AN AGE . 'OF WEAK NERVES Men and -Women Alike Suffer From 'flus Ailment "No heart for anything" is the cry of thousands of men and Women who might be made well and strong by the new, rich blood Dr. Williams' Pink Pills actually make. Misery day and night is the lot of hosts of men and women who are to- day the victims of weak nerves, Thin, pale, drawn faces and dejected atti- tude tell a sad tale, for nervous weak- ness nleens being tortured by morbid thoughts and unaccountable fits of de- pression, 'these sufferers are pain- fully sensitive and easily agitated by some chance remark. Sleeplessness robs them of energy and strength; their eyes are sunken and their limbs tremble; appetite is poor and tnemory often fails. This nervous exhaustion is one of the most serious eyils affect- ing men and women of to -day, The only way to bring back sound, vigor- ous health is to feed the starved nerves which are clamoring for nee rich blood. This new blood can b had through the use of Dr. Williams Pink Pills, Which fact accounts for th thousands of cures of nervous lis eases brought about by this powerful blood builder and nerve restorer. Through a fair use of this medicine thousands of despondent people have been made bright, active and strong, among these is Miss Bibiane Chiasson, South Benach, Que., who says:—"1 am a teacher by profession, and probably due to the close confinement and ardu- ous nature of my duties become much run down and suffered from extreme nervousness. The least noise would startle ate, and my heart would beat violently, indeed my condition was an unhappy one. I had often heard of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills as a cure for nervous troubles and decided to give them a fair thial, 1 ant happy to say that this medicine completely restored my health, and I can confid- ently recommend it to all suffering from nervous troubles." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by all dealers in medicine, or may be had' by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for 52.50 from The Dr, Williams' Med- icine Co., Brockville, Ont, BLACKK • KNIGHTS ELECT OFFICER The Royal Black Knights of Huron and South Perth county held their an- nual meeting in Societles• Hall, Strat- ford, on February V, a large represen- tation from each county being present, some 100 delegates; in all.
