The Wingham Times, 1916-11-23, Page 6Page 6 THE WINGHAM TIMES November, 23 191 6 We study and admire the machinery invented by man, and too often overlook and neglect that most marvellous machine—the Ilurnan body. To understand and take care of the heart, lungs and liver; the arteries; and veins, the skin, the teeth, the eyes and all the intricate machinery of the body, is no small task. But, unlike any other machine, the body replaces its own wear and waste, and, consequently, the most attention required is that which has to do with the organs of digestion and excretion. So long as proper food is supplied for nourishment and the liver, kidneys and bowels are regular in their 'work of eliminating poisonous waste matter from the system, the great majority of human ills are avoided. Iu this connection Dr. Chase's Kidney -Liver Pills are appreciated on account of their promptness and ef- ficiency in arousing the action of these filtering and excretory organs, and thereby removing such dis- orders as liver complaint, biliousness, constipation, indigestion., kidney disease and backache. With these organs in healthful action there is no such thing as Bright's disease, hardening of the arteries and rheu- matism.

TRADE of Canada and the United States with Russia—through, the Russian port of Vladivos- tok --is growing rapidly, and present prospects indicate that it will In the future assume huge proportions. Most of the Canadian and a good deal of the United States trade is con- ducted through Vancouver harbor, which though naturally a splendid one, is being improved to meet the accumulating requirements of the Pacific commerce. Already many millions of dollars have been spent by the C:anadiaa Pacific Railway Com- pany for the equipment of this great Pacific port, and now the great trans- portation concern is aboutto make an outlay of $1,5500;000 in improving its wharves. Further development plans are in view, and the company is in the happy position of being able to deal with import and export traffic independent of any other concern. As a consequence of the building up of its interests in Vancouver, and in view of the fact that the company has a very large fleet of trading ves- sels on the Pacific, it is in a situation to deal with the new trade develop.

LETTER FROM FRONT The following interesting letter was received by Mrs. D. Kennedy, of West Wawanosh, from her son, Pte. Duncan Kennedy:— H.R.H.- Grand Duchess George of Russia St. Nicholas Hospital, Harrogate York, Eng. Oct. 28th, 1916. Dear Mother, — You will have my card letting you know I was wounded, I was wounded on the morning of the 21st, a week ago to -day. A whizz -bang landed beside me and exploded. It tore my clothes to shreds and wounded me in the back around my kidneys. We were in a charge after old Fritz, and it was a perfect hell. I had to lay in a hole for six and a half hours and I was expecting a shell to blow me to pieces every second. Just at nightfall a fellow came along and helped me to hobble out to the dressing station about three miles away. I don't know how I did it but we got there through shot and shell. I was then taken in a motor ambulance about ten miles to a field hospital where they inoculated me. They operated upon me and took five pieces of shrapnel out. My right ear drum is burst too from the force of explosion of the shell. I have been lying on my side ever since. Have lost the power in my left leg from the effects of the wound. The doctor says it will be alright when the wounds get better. 1 was taken to Boulogne was there for three days till they could move me here. It was a long journey. We are in the north of England at a beautiful place and a nice hospital. It is a large mansion belong- ing to the Grand Duchess George of Russia. She is here most of the time. She is awful nice and talks to us about everything. We have one of the best surgeons in England here. There are only twenty-five patients in this hospital. I am Peeling a lot better now. I have been awful stiff and sore. It is not much fun being hurt but it is better than being.at the Somme. We were at Ypres and St. Eloi for one month, and then we moved to the Somme. It is awful at the Somme. It is a steady fight day and night and you are not safe anywhere within five miles of the firing line. The mud was awful. There was about two feet of mud in the trenches and it was awful cold. We were wet all the time. We usually went over land in plain sight of the Germans. It was all you could do to walk half a mile in the trenches, and just as good a chance of being killed. We chased Fritz back and held him back and took many prisoners, but many brave men fell and it costs dearly. A battalion goes over and two or three hundred come back as a rule. We were the first trench mortar men to ever take part in a charge, but we made a success out of it so they will be in every charge now. I was awful lucky. It is a wonder I wasn't blown to pieces. It is alright to be lucky, but don't talk about it at the front or some thing will happen. I had lots of souvenirs but I think I was lucky to get out as a souvenir myself. The 3rd division, the one John is in, left the Somme when we went there. • I think they are at Ploegstreert or near Armientierres. I haven't had any mail for a long time but expect it will be forwarded from France. Has any of the 160th Battalion come over yet, I hope you are all well and feeling fine. Well I will close. Write soon to Your affectionate son, DUNCAN, AN ELECTRIFIED FUTURE An Occupation for Wounded Soldiers The soldier owes much to electricity. Success in battle is largely due to knowledge of the enemy's position and movements, often gained by wireless signalling from aeroplanes; and to the rapid transmission of that knowledge and the consequent orders, by telephone and telegraph. Our command of the sea is perfected and maintained largely by wireless electric communications between our ships, and between ship and shore. In repairing the ravages of war, also, especially on human beings, electricity is most valuable. Electric treatment is one of the many scientific methods by which the Military Hospitals Commission of Canada is restoring our wounded and weakened soldiers to strength, and making them fit for in- dependent and self-supporting activity in civil life. Mr. George Iles, a Canadian writer who has devoted much attention to this subject, writes to the Military Hospitals Commission suggesting that electricity m ay also furnish a congenial and profit- able occupation for many of these sotdlet*a when they leave hospital, Electric smoothing Irons, toasters, heaters, lamps, motors, sweepers and tools are very popular where they have been introduced Their popularity is bound to go on increasing as they be. come bette k known, ow and a large in- crease of output will bring about a de- crease in price when normal times re- turn. The price of electric current has been reduced already, thanks to partial development of our magnificent water - powers. A. blind officer, Lieut. idprin Baker, one of the Canadian soldiers who has lost the sight of both eyes, has just been appointed to a position on the engineering staff of the Ontario Hydro - Electric Power Commission. Mr. Iles suggests that many other Canadian Veterans unfitted for hard muscular work might well be employed, as can- vassers and demonstrators, in popular- izing electrical appliances throughout, the country. The battle of the Somme, where Canadians have played so conspicuous and heroic a part, is sending home hun- dreds of men unable to rejoin the fight- ing ranks, and thousands of our disabled men had returned even before that great battle had begun. Every suggestion of useful and profit- able employment for injured • Soldiers, therefoye, is to be warmly welcomed. The brains as well as the sympathies of the nations must be actively engaged in promoting the succes of this national enterprise. For Baby's Tender Bin A child's skin is tender as well as beautiful and eczema may be caused by chafing of clothing. the use of poor soap, exposure to cold or sudden change of temperature. Probably no treat- ment for eczema has ever proven so successful as Dr. Chase's Ointment, and this applies particularly to baby eczema. This ointment is delightfully soothing, stops the itching and con- sequently prevents scratching. Gradually the sores are healed up and the skin is left soft and velvety. TREAT NEWSPAPERS FAIRLY (Mount Forest Confederate) There is one sentence which every editor of a newspaper is very familiar with and which appeals to him with every issue of his paper, that is: "We trust that you will find it of 'sufficient interest to give it space," In most cases editors do find the articles would be interesting to the reader of the paper. They are both entertaining and instructive, showing that a cap- able person has prepared them. But the request usually comes from some society organization or branch of work that considers the subject, on hand of sufficient importance to hay capable men to further its interests. Then the newspapers are asked to give the necessary publicity to make the work effective. The only ' thing a newspaper has to sell is publicity and it cannot afford to give away this com- modity to every worthy organization any more than the merchant or the farmer can afford to give their mer- chandise to whoever might ask. Children Cry FOR FLETCHER'S CASTO R i A PRICE OF PEACE IN UNITED STATES Dorothy Sampson, of Chicago, who has lately returned from Europe, says that the gladdest sight to her, a sight that she cannot get enough of, is the sight of so many men on the streets of American cities-- young men, whole men, men with all their arms and legs and eyes intact. "In the cities of Europe," she says, "one sees only old men and cripples. If Americans could all experience the contrast in this one thing alone, they would get down on their knees and thank God for peace." Many Americans are thankful for other things besides peace. A lot of them are thankful for munition con- tracts aggregating millions of dollars, and thankful that their citizens may travel the high seas under the pro- tecting patrols of the British Navy. There may indeed be general thankful- ness that peace prevails in the United States, but in the neighborhood of Wall Street, the cotton market, the iron centres, and the grain fields, the fact that Europe is at war has not outwardly had the effect of stirring up an out- spoken expression of sorrow.— Port Arthur Chronicle, Boston operates a municipal printing plant.

You don't see people hanging spark plugs over their doors for good luck. But the horseshoe keeps its grip on the popular imagination, the amulet of the countryside. It was originally used in.New England as a protection against the witches end evil spirits. Nailed above the door, with the open side up --t, prevent the luck from spilling out it was supposed to protect members of the family from all sorts of harm. Nailed- over the barn door, it was supposed to pr tett the stock and stored crops. Placed on the fence between neighbors who could not get along well together, it was supposed to invite peace The custom even extended to the sailors who, so the tradition goes, know noth- ing of horses and care lees. But the Cape Cod fishermen thought they were not prepared for business unless they had a horseshoe nailed conspicuously, on their boats in hope that it would bring a good catch. Froin New England the custom has spread all over the country. Children Ory FOR FLETCHER'S CASTOFZIA A STIFF CLIMB. Lloyd George first financed the war as Chancellor.
