Lendon„ Nov, 14: "At the Moment whenthe armistice is signed, bringing, i trust, a final end to the hostilities which have convulsed the whole world, for tour years, 1 de, sire to send a message of greeting and heartfelt gratitude to my overseas peoples whose wonderful efforts and sacrifices have contributed so largefy to secure the victory which is now wort. Together we have borne this tre- mendous burdenin the tight for Justice and liberty. t e ca now Togetherv n Ow rejoice at the realization of these great aims for which we entered the struggle. The whole empire pledged its word not to sheathe the sword until our eatl was achieved. This pledge is now re- deemed. The outbreak of war found the whole empire one, -I rejoice to ,' think that the end of the strugt,le finds the empire still more closely united by the common resolve, held firm through all vicissitudes, by the com- munity : of suffering and sacrifice, by the dangersand trio m s sharedre d .t _ gether. The hour is one of solemn thanks- giving and of gratitude to God, whose divine providence has preserved us through all perils and crowned our arias with victory. Let us bear our triumph in the same spirit of fortitude and self-control with which we have borne our dangers. PRAYERS FOR PROSPERITY "I pray that God, who has been pleased to grant a victorious end to this great crusade for justice and right, Will prosper and bless our efforts in theimmediate future to secure for the generations to dime the bard -won blessings of freedom and peace." in his message to the air forces, the King said: "Our far-flung squadrons have Flown over home waters and foreign seas and battle lines, The birth of the Royal Air Force, with its wonderful expan- sion and development, will ever re- main one of the most rentarkable ach- ievements of the, great war; In his message on the work of the navy fbrces, the King says: "Never in its history has the royal navy done greater things or better sustained its old glories. With grate- ful hearts the peoples of the British Empire salute the white, red and blue ensigns, and: tltos'ewho have given their lives for the flag. 1 ant proud to have served in the navy." To the army the King expressed his pride at their brilliant success, which has crowned more than four years of effort and endurance. "Germany, our most formidable en- emy, who planned the, war to ,gain supremacy of the world; full of pride in her armed strength and of contempt of the small British army of that day, has now been forced. to acknowledge defeat," he says: "1, rejoice that in this achievement the British forces, now grown from a small beginning to the finest 10:ny iii ,.our history, have borne so gallant and distinguished a part. "Soldiers of the British Empire, in France and in Belgium, the prowess of your arms, as :great in retreat as to victory, has won the admiration of all -friend and foe -and has now, by a historic light,'erabled•you to conclude the campaign by capturing Mons, where the predecessors of 1914 shed the first British blood. .Between that date and this you have traversed .:t long weary road, But your faith has never faltered; your courage has never failed; your hearts have never known defeat, , With your allied comrades you have won the day. • (Signed) ''GEORGE R. 1."

Get acquainted with•'it. • Just enough draft, and that'from be- low, checking the draft by letting more air ' into the smoke pipe, is one of th'e best general rules for heating the homes, declares the Ontario Fuel Ad - .ministration,. The Clow of air' through the fuel makes it burn. Learn' to' control it. To make coal burn freely '/Open the draft." This means open ash -pit, lift or slide damper, open pipe damper and close check -draft damper, To make coal burn slowly, a good way is to partly close pipe damper; partly open check draft damper and close ash -pit damper. To make coal stop burning "shut the draft" This means shut ash -pit damper; open check draft damper wide, 'and very nearly close pipe damper. Never have ash -pit lift or slide damp- er and check -draft damper open at the saute trine, ft You can rot check the fire t Wnout opening the, firing door ;your damper control is wrong. Study it, 11 is not economy to allow the home temperature to drop away down at night. It takes too much coal to regain !teat in the morning, Remember'the clean-out dor and why -it is there. Remove soot or ashes that collect in'•fiue and on heating -sur- faces, brush or scrape thoroughly at least once per week, oftener when us- ing soft coal. See that grates work freely, and that they are left in proper position (flat.) Stop air -leaks into the ash -pit or fur nate. Cover all heat pipes in cellar to pre -1 vent loss of heat, h Carry ii deep fire, at least level with fireadoor. 10 mild weather carry a I layer of ashes on the grate. • Don't shake live coals into the ash- 1 pit Don't let ashes pile up under the grate, Save good coal from the ashes. Don't shake down ashes until after new fuel Inas been added to fire, Buro off gases before closing fire for night. 'fo leave fire for night, partly close pipe damper, close ash -pit damper, open check draft damper, When burning soft coal have the slide or lift damper in firing door partly open, Soft coal requires air Over the fire for proper consumption of gases.
