Tho aormon was a carefully prepared
declaration of the aim of Canada in the
war, Canada was not fighting for
England or Fr•atteo but for her own
liberty and freedom of action. Many
in 'Canada bad heard and answered
the call to protect their fireside from
a ruthless foe. Many others had nob

on the war to satisfy his insane lust of
power. He had however failed in hie

Dear Mrs Walker :
How lind of you to
send us such nice Clothing for our poor
refugee children. They came . very
quickly and safely and if you are kind
enrngh to solidus somo mere, as yon say
I really think it the best way. A port
of your presents have been given to a
criohe where we have a number of
babies from a few days to 4 years, some
of them orphans, others are children
whose parents live in very dangerous
places quite near the firing line. These
places are continual y being shelled,We
go and take them bare and keep them
until the place is safe again. The other
part of your generous gift is given to re-
fugees' childrbn whose parents have
had to fly from h erne without bbing
able to save the least skiing. There are
here suck numbers of poor ohildran,
of whom were ouoe rich and happy now
feel more than others these privations.
I send you by ;hie mail a paper telling
all about our work. 'ou see that we
also have hospitals for wounded civilian
and schools, •
How kind of rot to ask what else we
need most, The following articles
would be very useful to us. ' Some pina
forts and overalls for 25 babies from 2
too years in white or blue or grey hol
land; for the same age cashmere and
woollen socks and strong shoes; sheets
for babies beds, email bibe, 24 dresses
in grey flanellete for childrenfrom two
to 'four; little jackets for winter would
also be acceptable. 1€ you oonld let
us have clothes for women and girls
we wouldbe glad, It is so kind of driv
er Hermiston to mention our work to
charitable ladies of Itis own country.
He and the Prince de Broy are not
near now though we 000aeionaliy see
,hem'. They, are in "good health. The
Countess Van den Steen and myself
thank you. Please thank all who ass'
thea.
Believe me, yours sincerely
Mrs, J. Ferlinder

APPRECIATION

1g17
Returning to Inglatd last summer
with fever, I have spent, three of the
winter months in France in Beaumont
Hamel District, se a stretcher bearer,
so I have had wonderful experiences
for a Canadlan boy.
I am just discharged from hospital
where 1 have been for two menthe, thie
time with "trench fever," and I do
with to elate that the V, A. D, Hospi-
tal where I was, really was like a home,
for the sisters and nurses wore so land
and did everythingeo cheerft,llytomalte
us comfortable. So give me a V. A, D.
Hospital every time.
1. felt that we should write you to
tell yon how meat we do appreciate
what the Canadian Red Orme has done
for us so far from our homes and loved
ones, for I have no *relatives at all over
here. So many of the British patients
have said to us "That your Red Crete
certanly does look after you fellows."
Again I. thank you.
The Last Asthma Attack may really
be the last one if prompt measures are
taken, Dr.‚J, D. Kellogg's Asthma
Remedy will safe guard you. It will
penetrate to the smallest bronchial
passage and bring about a healthy con-
dition. It olways relieves and its con-
tinued use often effects a permanent
cure. Why not get this long -famous
remedy to -day and commence to use?
Inhaled as smoke or vapor it is equally
effective.
The following letter was written to
the Canadian Red Cross Society Tor.;•
onto by a Seaforth boy and is copied
from the official bulletin of the Society
It is supposed that it was written by
Frank'Habhirk of'leeafortb.
T1xOANTON HEATH, Si aEE?,
Dear Madam,
I just wish to epxress my appreoiat-
i- n and my gratitude towards the Rad
Cross Organization for the gifts -which
I have received at different times from
the home branches and from the Lon-
don office while in the hospital here in
England.
I am writing not only for myself but
for six other Canadian soldiers who
were in oernwall Hall V. A. D. Hospi-
tal with .me, I have visited the St,
Jobe's V, A.D. Hospital also the Seven-
oaks, Kent, and the boys there did ex-
press to me their appreciation of the
gifte of apples and toilet articles which
were so freely given to us through yetir
Red Cross visitor Mrs H, She has been
so wonderfully kind to all of us in visit
lug us and doing all in her power t
make aur stay is the ,hospital cheery.
Really I cannot say too much for, the
way she treated we boys who were per
feet strangers to her, but as she said
"We were Canadians." I happened to
be the only Canadian born boy among
our patients, so I rather think I was
given more attention. but I do wont to
let you ]snow we all appreciated her
visits so much and I Was detailed to
tell you so.
I wee born in Seaforth. Ontario, and
was fortunate in being chosen to re-
present the Winnipeg Divide., of the
Canadian St, John ambulance Brfgade-
along with eight others from there and
we were sent over by the ''St John
Brigade and Red Cross of Canada'
nearly two years ago. We were trans.
ferred into the Imperial Army and I
have emit) active service in Gallipoli
Peninsula, then to Mesopotamia, where
we were for the attempted relief of
Kut.
