My Dear Mother: Just a few lines to int you know 1 am alright and well, thank God; hop. lug this wilt nod you and UL1c1a gett- ing along comfortable. 1 have ,jinn received a letter from Hilda and I guess by the time you get this you will have been up to London again, which will be a change for you. I should vary much like for us all,to be together at Chrihtmas, what do you say? This war seems to be getting fiercer every time I go up the line, I can tell you it is a hard job to keep our nerves up. Well mother I have had some nar- row escapes in my time, 1 had one this time, I got buried alive by a shell and it was God's Providence that l had a, chum close by and he dug me out, he is a brave feilo-v, all the tithe he was digging nae out he was under a heavy tire, he deserves a V. 0. Well mother 1 hope to God it will soon he over as the winter is coming on and that will make it very bad for advanc- ing now. Mother do not think it is my fault that you have not•.ba3 a let- ter before as this is first chance I have had to write for over n fortnight, we do not get the sauce chance to write as often as we did we are moving all the time.. I have not had a letter from Chai:ley lately, nor Ada, I guess it is up to me to write which I will. I told you I bad seen Charley Wood and he told me that poor young Billy Ra,ckhan had been killed also Joe Hol- land of Wingham, I have not seen him lately to find out anything else. Must tell you Percy andJobnny White are alright, I see them quite often. Well Mother I think 1 will get the c'iance to write to you again pretty saw: so lie on the lookout for another letter. Give my respect to Mrs. Tay. tor. I think this all now with fondest 1 ive to you and Tiisda.

L'he Poet 011ice Department has been notified by the Iiritisit Post tat'llce that many put'cols sent from Owuuda to Prisoners of War io Germany are tieing received in London. In a daweged condition, so that fretluencly they have to be repacked before they eau be forwarded to Holland for trans- mission to Germany, 'Rho British Post Oliice adds that in most cases the damage appears to be due to the fact that parcels are inadequately packed by the senders. The public are warned, therefore, that paroele for Prisoners, unless they are very strongly packed, will prob at- ly arrive in such a condition as to be of little or no use to till to.eipieats. Ordinary thin cardboard boxes, -.such as shoe -boxes, and thin wooden boxes should not be used: nor does a single sheet of ordinary brown paper uinerd suliicient prateotiotl, Even where proper :tutorials are used, it is impor- tant that the contents should be tightly packed so as not to shake about during transit. The following forme of packing are recommended: - (1) Strong double cardboard or etrawboard boxes. The wale of corrugated cardboard,and having lids which completely enclose the sides of the box are the most suitable. (2) Tin boxes such as are used for packing biscuits. (3) Strong wooden boxes, (J) Several folds of stout packing paper, The British authorities advise that parcels for Prisoners of War in Ger- many, must be wrapped in linen, cal.' WO, canvae, or t;ny other ttrxtile mat- erial. Parcels posted in Canada, for prison. ere of war in Germany which baye not been adequately packed by the senders will not be forwarded but will be returned to the senders, as the British Post Office,,has notified the Department that parcels which are inadequately packed must be returned to the senders.

TI -IE BEAUTY OF `OUR CHOCOLATES is the fact that one never tires of them, as with most candies, They are flav- ored just so as to satisfy but never to cloy the taste, Try some and you'll find the last one in the box just as de- licious as the first one you pick out. No other candy is so permanently sat- isfying. W.A. MILLER The Popuar Restaurant' WANTED! .ate Highest Cash Prices paid for All Kinds of Live POULTKY, HMD4'S, WOOL antl JUNK. Phone 204 H.
