Graham gave a' NU and encouraging report of the last meeting held in Clinton in Jan uary, the Young Women's Confer, enee,'`presided over by, Mrs, Cr. Tel - Cord of Blyth, was Bright with in- forest. ,Suggestions as to the tli.f- ferent methods used to raise money and to prepare interesting programs for the regular meetings were given by representatives front, the different circles. . Miss Ellis of Hensen, representa- tive from the Huron Presbyterial to the Summer school at Whitby, gave a most interesting account of the proceedings there, We also listened to an excellent report prepared by Mrs., S. T. De Lacy and: read by Mrs. Hogg of Clinton of the provin- cial niseting held in Toronto in May. The noon hour was spent in social intercourse, and in partaking of a bounteous luncheon hospitably pre- pared by the Eginondville ladies. ,, P110 afternoon session opened at 2 o'clock, conducted by Mrs. Walters, representative of the Auburn and Smith's e ,.,nuth's Hill auxiliaries. The main feature of the afternoon was an ad- dress given by Dr. Elizabeth McMas- ter, returned medical missionary from Indore, India, on her twelve years spent amongst the people of that country. Dr. lileMaster said nothing of her own hardships but pictured before her hearers the needs of the people whom she loves in a way which should call forth our earn- est -prayers and assistance in the great work of missions generally. The Mission Band Conference was bright and encouraging. One could not but be impressed as the represen- tatives from the different bands wore called to the platform how the younger girls, and boys are being trained to take their places in the great work of the Church. ,Another interesting event of the afternoon was the presentation of a steamer rug to Miss Fingland of Londesboro by Rev. C. Fletcher, D,D., Moder- ator of the General Assembly., Miss Fingland has been designated to go as missionary to Corea. The rug is a token of affectionate remembrance from the Huron Presbyterial. She is to lie supported by her home congre- gation in Auburn, Later in the af- ternoon Miss. Fingland gave an in- teresting address on Corea. Other features which brightened the after- noon's program were vocal solos by Miss Hume of Goderich, Miss I. Woods of Seaforth, Miss _Gemmell of Egmondville and a duet by two lit- tle girls from the McLean Mission Band, Blyth. Also ,.the choir. render-, ed a selection entitled "Keep the. Prayer Fires burning"., eemposed by the secretary;' hints 1I. I. Graham, and . aaig to the tune at "Keep the Mome Fires 13urni.ng." Short pray- ers were offered by Mrs. Elder of Blyth, Mrs. Sparks of Blake, Mrs. McQueen of Bruccfleld, Mrs. Cameron of Themes Road, Mrs. W. E. M. Ait- ken, Kippen, Mrs, Currie of London and Mrs. McKenzie of Bayfield. Just before the closing words of the pres- ident which were helpful and in- spiring, Mrs. Aitken of Kippen pre- sented the work of the .Stranger's Secretary in a way, which should arouse a new interest in the welfare of the boys and girls who are stran- gers in our towns and villages. The next meeting is to he held in l lyth. —Com. The "Y" is open 24 Hours a .....Day 'in Old London A bed, including bath, towel, soap and kit storage in London costs the Canadian Tommy 18 cents—that is if he goes to the new Canadian Y. M, C. A. "13eaver Hut" in the Strand. A meal costs him the same with the strains-' of• an orchestra thrown in. Needless to relate our boys :over- seas are "tickled to death" with theih new metropolitan centre. Cost- ing $100,000, and situated in the most famous thoroughfare in the Empire, the Beaver HIut is run prim- arily by'Canadians for Canadians, al- though its hospitality is free to all the .men of thejaliied forces ;visiting London on leave. A voluntary staff of 200 pasties, superintended by Miss Helen Fitzgerald of Fredericton, N. 13., attend to the preparation and service of meals, DorTitories, with - nearly 200 beds, are under the same efficient cart, and the ladies 'work tin four-hour shifts, 1maintaining a twen- ty-four hour service, No matter at what hour a tired and hungry Cell - adieu soldier arrives in London he !lids an open door, a smiling wel- come, and "a hot meal at the "Beav- er I:Iut.",,,K, • After e. warm bath, refreshing - sleep, breakfast, haircut, shave and'' shoe-shine—all indulged in on the premises—Tommy feels like a new man. I3e has packed imp his troubles inhis, old kit bag and placed the lot in (safe keeping with the clerk at the Kit Storage. It only remains for him to look in at the information bureau Ion the second floor and seledt ono of the many suggestions to bo found there for, the spending of his leave. He can then set oft to enjoy the, beauties and hospitality of the Old Country until his time is up and he must return, reinvigorated, to t11e. trenches. Such an institution as the "Beav- er lith" cannot fail to render a great service to our Canadian boys over there. It provides a shelter from, and a counfer-attraction to, the malty undesirable elements 'that seek to prey on their loneliness. The death occurred in East Wawa - nosh on Saturday, Sept, 21st, of Maude McQuillan, daugllter of Wil- liam and Annie McQuillan, in her 22nd year, The funeral was held tom her father's residence on Tues- day, dept. 24th, to Greenhill cent- etery, Consider saving as a service rather than a sacrifice.

Such correspondence, however, must only detil with private news and will be subject to ekisorship. Items which contain any information whatever in regard to military,. economic or pol- itical couditions obtaining in Canada or in any allied countries ori which contain undesirable information of any kind will be detained. Business communications from Canada to destinations in territory which has been certified enemy territory under the Trading with the E'uenty Pro- clamation require a license from the Secretary of State for Canada.

The Teutons deny themselves, they make' sacrifices, because they are trained or forced to do so, but they do it. The peoples of the Allied nations must make great sacrifices and tremendous efforts in order to defeat the enemies of freedom, but because they are free peoples it is left largely to the individual to say what or how much self-denial each will practice. So if freedom is to prevail individuals must make voluntary sacrifices which in -the aggregate will be greater than the forced sacrifices of the enemies of free- dom. 1 � HE measure of your love of freedom is your willingness to deny yourself so that the strength of the nation for war effort will be increased. This self-denial must take the form of money-saving—thrift. Each person knows in what way he or she may save. The national need says you must save, but free Canada leaves it to you to say by what means and to what extent you will save. OW, it is for you, each of us, everyone of us to say how much patriotic endeavor, how much loyal sacrifice we will make by saving our money, by "doing without" so that each day will see a surplus to add to our own and the nation's strength. No matter how small the surplus it is important because each -saving is an effort made, and many small individual efforts " make the misty" rielional'• force.

How tyo1 Bthrn Soft a The following letter appeared in the Goderich papers and: as in Clin- ton many citizens will probably be obliged to burn soft coal this winter for the first time, its reproduction may be of interest just now : 'Sir,—Noting the discussion in re- gard to coal, : and the claim of so litany parties in Goderich that they cannot burn soft coal iv their stoves or furnaces, we have been requested by Mayor 16. R. Wigle to give our experience in burning soft coal, Being raised in a soft coal district where the people never thought of using other than soft coal, and only within the last few years' being where anthracite coal was used, we very naturally tlrilted into the use of soft coal last winter, and We found that by %leaving the draughts open to the chimney we were able to got very good results in a bot - air furnace and also in a range. The' draughts should always be op- en before the ltre.door is thrown op- en for recoiling your 'fires, allowing the smoke to pass off freely, and•; the fire siaald only be very, light, Do not attelnlit to till feritaee or range with soft coal as yen would with hard coal, for wliett it 11180 ignites it will burn through to the top very quickly, t11td yott Wi11 have the .clan- ger of )yarning out your stove and filling it with ash, that ,you should prevent, by 1001114wt e fact , lower.

Your ,ash pan and grates should be -Rept well cleaned of ash ; ranges and furnaces ,to be kept cleaned out fre- quently, so as :to keep thein from filling ftp with soot, as there will naturally be mores soot from soft coal than there will from hard coal. This can be done by sweeping them clown with the bresitesemade on pur- pose for cleaning stoves' and furnac- es, and the flues call be kept clear by burning a wad of paper, rolled up tightly, saturated with coal oil, two or three tines a week, thereby pro - venting the !lues from loading up heavily with soot, and if the chim- ney's are properly built there should be no danger of fire from their burning out, it kept comparatively clean.
