The Ontario W.C.T.U. is endeavouring to raise a fund of $25,000
for free Tea, Cocoa, Coffee and Lemonade.
The National Y.M,C.A., whom the Ontario. W.C.T.U,, is hiding,
'will need t So,000 to cover their free drinkables.
The W.C.T.U. has already sent to France, mainly for this purpose
about $11,000—but the need grows.more insistent.
In addition to the free drinkables, the Ontario W.C.T.U. has be-
come responsible for the cost of printing.a weekly leaflet of cheer and
spiritual help, which is being sent through the mails to- all the' soldiers
in the forward trenches, who express a desire to receive it. 'The
appreciation of the men for this bit of comfort can be judged by the
fact that, in one division alone, and within one month after the issue
began, 15,000 soldiers asked that their • names be entered 'on the
"Pay book Leaflet" list.—the leaflets being so named from the fact
that they are designed to ,fit into the soldiers' pay book.

Tuesday morning, John Wilson, a man
of 85 years, was burned to death.
For some time Air. Wildon, who was
a widower and who insisted on keeping
Itis own home, had 'found it di`flicttlt to
obtain fuel with which to heat his
house. Consequently he depended
largely on the use of quantities of ker-
osene, Tuesday morning, between 6
and 7 o'clock, neighbors saw the place
in flames, and though they rushed im-
mediately to the place the lire barred
the entrances and they could not re-
scue the aged occupant. Ile could not
be heard and nothing was known of
his location that would permit of an
attempted rescue.
Later his corpse. almost incinerated
with his head burned from his body,
was found in the ruins.
