You probably know that consti pation sets up .poisons ip the large intestine or colon. But do you know that these poisons seep through the walls of the colon and infect the bloodstream? They set up toxic accumulations in kidneys and liver and are. contributing causes of rheumatic pains, sciatica and back ache. Most laxatives only act in the icolon. Kruschen does more, It is the ' laxative with a double action. Besides ridding the colon of stagnating waste * matter, Kruscjhen’s mineral salts have a diuretic action. They flush the kidneys, help to clear the bloodstream of all poisonous matter, and so protect your whole system from that form of infection. < Yim can get Kruschen from all drug stores.

I am well as usual and am enjoying army life in England immensely, Tke weather here is altogether different now, more like our Ontario weather; lots of daylight and ’Plenty of sun-- shine. The-scenery at this time of the year is most wonderful. That, in itself is something to write home about. Then again there are other sights which are not so good, Bomb- torn cities, blocks of houses and buildings destroyed, which will take several years to build up and get ready for the next war, !• have had seven days’ leave and visited mostly in London. I had a faiat recollec tion of what Trafalgar Squat® look ed like, also.some of the other plac es, but I just wanted to make sure, after 22 years, if I, really could re member the Strand, Charing Cross, and other places of interest. So, after walking around I found out ■that my memory was no good, for the only place or street corner I was sure about was Trafalgar ■Square, where the Lions are rest ing contented, I also visited East Ham. By the way, I had an English girl friend there hack in 1919. Her, picture is over at Mother’s. I in tended to locate this English family, but to my disappointment East Ham was a complete mass of ruins. I found the street, but couldn’t tell one house from another. So I gave It up and left, I guess forever. That same night I happened to be caught in one of the most vicious air raids London has eyer had. Several hundred people were killed, ovei’ 300 in one spot. I was walking along Bank St., minding my own business—quite dark, too, when the air raid siren went. Of course everybody expected isome bombs, but no.t as ’many as they dropped. £Well, one of those armor-piercing l^ombs came whistling down and •Accidentally hit in the centre of the rdad. The tube station was be neath. The bomb went through the road and down to the thir’d level before exploding.. Hundreds of women and children take sheltei- in the'‘hihderground tubes every night. Those tubes were considered the safest place during a raid, but now public opinion has cnanged consid erably. Say, what am I doing, Writing a book or something?. I want to save these experiences to tell at the Arena Board members’ meeting sometime in 1>949. Now I have given ydu a partial version of what an air raid is really like. I’ll close for this time but wilj continue with another more drastic experience, along the South Coast in my next letter to you. Be always oh the lookout for the 5th column workers. Wishing you all the best of luck. I remain, ■Charles Tribner 4th Canadian Field Regiment, (19 L.A.D.) R.C.A., •Canadian Army Overseas. I J They were connected with Methodist Church mostly and they erected a church,' known as a .meet ing house, at Bethesda. Here the Bible Christian ministers led their people in the ways of righteousness with good success. Two families of Irish settled on *the London Road, known by the name of Case and Hawkins. In the first-pamed family there were 10- sons and I believe two daughters; one of whom became Mrs. George Hawkins, and the other Mrs. Wil liam Jeckell, These -people were Anglicans, noted for their honesty, upright dealing and general worth of character, worshipping in the Apglican church, Exeter. These* were the days of large families. As noted above, the Case family consisted of 10 sons and, one or two daughters. In John Blatchford’s family there were 10 sons and four daughters. Seven of” thes'e were born in England, Frank, who is still alive in Exeter, was born in 1852 in Bowmanville the year they landed in Canada. In George Moir’s family there were nine boys besides the daughters. During • the last 60 years many changes have taken place in the personnel Of the people in Section No. 1. There are now only about seven or eight farms owned and occupied by descendants in the third generation of the original settlers. This . is partly owing to the fact that quite a number of the younger people entered the learned (professions. In the Christian mini stry were Revs. Thomas Blatch- ford, Peter Strang, Duncan Buch anan and Charles Down. In the medical profession we find Doctors. George Buchanan, William' Logie, George Blatchford, Thomas Case, Margaret Strang and Thomas His lop, ‘besides a host of dentists, teachers, nurses, etc. Five of Frank Blatchford’s brothers taught school and his sister Ida Was a nurse. We how come to the question, “why did so many of these young people seek to better their condi tion, by obtaining an education?” Leaving out the people themselves we believe the primary reason is to be found in the teachers who taught in this School. It is seldom that such .a large succession of public school teachers went on to a higher professional calling. Like the school at Eton there was many a well-fonght battle on the playgrounds at the games of “money” apd “snowballing match es,” before they entered into the greater games and struggles of af ter life. Sides were called and a. glorious time was enjoyed by all.
