Some of us. were a bit doubtful of the date and the day and we had a grins feeling that something might happen to stake that ' date notable, There is nn uncanny feeling about an advance into the . unknown, whether it be "over the top" in a battle, a reconnaissance in force',lur- ing a 'tot campaign, or a peaceful penetration such as we have been makingfor more than a fortnight. 6 When we reached the bank of the Rhine and the entrance to the beau- tiful bridge which spans the half - mile of water, that • uncanny feeling was present in some persons, Along the ,quay ware batteries of field guns and howitzers, their nuzzles pointing east. About the, bridge were guards and sentries. Apparently' every pro - caution had been taken, and nothing untoward happened. . . . At the lar enol of the bridge was the Can- adian Corps Commander and his. staff. He had come to review a portion of his troops -and from nine o'clock in the morning until two o'clock in the afternoon there was a steady, proms- sion of infantry, machine, gunners, en- gineers, cavalry, ambulance troops and transports. Had the sun shone the moving picture men would have got a fibs that would have surpassed in glory any reel made since Sir Sam reviewed the First Contingent at Valcartier. But, despite , the rain, the reel artists did their hest. Even under such circumstances, the pictures will be worth while. , . I cannot. attempt to describe the feelings of the Wren as they marched across the bridge and. past the Corps Commander. They were not ex- pressing their feelings in either words or looks. They are seasoned veterans, most of them, and this great event was only one more incident in a series of experiences which are al- most beyond the dramatic sense of the average soldier. They had a feeding of elation -that Was manifest, but the height and depth of thatfecl- ing must have varied according to the .temperament of the individual.. None of us would like to have miss-. ed this day. The • gentle smile of satisfaction on, the face of the Corps Commander and the Division • Com- manders was undoubtedly reflected in the heart of every soldier. But beyond that there was nothing to be described or recorded. Proud ? Of course we were all proud, but our pride will take more vocal form when we have broken ranks for the last time in this war and when home and wifey are in sight. Our cheers and our tears of joy are being saved up for those wonderful days which are yet to come. Nancy swinging tip stream, past the. Isle of Orleans and seeing the heights of old Quebec ahead of us ! That,widl he time tor cheers, perhaps. But I must not anticipate, lest I reveal the truth that the troops are homesick forthe land Fthey love and for those who are near and dear 1:o then. , . . Now we have come to a full stop. For nearly a month we have been travel- ing as an army travels, sometimes moving, sometimes resting. We left Mons on Monday, November 18th. We were at Namur on the 27t1t, and crossed the Meuse, Wo reached the frontier of Germany on the 9th of December and our garrison towns on the .13th, Some traveling that for an army, with broken bridges, torn roads and destroyed railways behind us. Napoleon's troops never did better. And ,wonder of wonders, we never miss- ed a meal. Tho Germans could live off the inhabitants. They could take cows from the fields and kill and est then. We had only the regular food supplies from a base 300 utiles away. But it never failed us -thanks to the excellent work of tate railway troops, tite railway' operating department, the lorry drivers who worked 24 hours , without rest and the "Q" staffs of the .various formations. We mordant well, we bunked in rotten billets, we washed under trying con- ditions, but we pay • our. treed of praise to those who kept, us supplied with food, three times a day, across that stretch of foodless country. We aro here. The Germans in their pride will not admit that we are conquerors. They welcomed their own troops home with flags, bunting and cheers -making herons of them as best they could, ,\'hon we came in they ,hogan for the first time to wonder what it all meant: -for the present and the future. When we toll them they cannot travel from one town to another without a, pass, they look at us in amazement. When we closed the telephone exchange its this town of 25,0(10 people, they be- got to discuss things seriou8ly. When we ordered the editor to bring his proofs before publication, hes at least recognized that a new era had conte, even though he had boon well acquainted with military oensorsbiu) before we arrived. , Another feature. -the.

You knots' that ordin- arily itis considerable. In times like these when everybody should be economical it is well worth saving.. Ilood's Sarsaparilla affords the least expensive of all treatments fol the common everyday diseases or ail- ments .01 the blood, stomach, liver or kidneys. Many physicians use the same substances as its ingredients for these diseases and ailments, but these substances are better coon Pounded in Hood's Sarsaparilla than they can possibly be in a prescribed medicine which is tput up in a small way, with fewer facilities, and when the physician's foe is added costs a great deal more. Hood's Sarsaparilla 1s prepared by skilled pharmacists in one of the largest and '.est equipped laboratories in the world, is wonderfully success- ful; and highly recommended to those who would recover health and streng- th with the minimum necessary out- lay. Green Vegetables to Poul- try keeping Both for Maintaining tg the health of the is , , 1 birds and cheapening A i ,V nht' the .•:.tion 1 ) 1 6 a green foods should lie used generous- ly in feeding; the poultry. flock, more especially 1f• conduct within houses oY' 11nited yards. .Cabbage, lettuce, on- ion tops, unmarketable carrots, pars- nips, small potatoes, may all be stored and fed in the winter, The roots especially are better when boiled and mixed in a mash, Rape, green cereal crops, clovers arta alfal- fa, are all good for this purpose, and sprouted grain Is especially useful for keeping fowls in, health.. ']`hese foods are as necessary as animal foods and grain In poultry feeding, more es- pecially in Cho winter season when eggs are dear. These points aro taken from Bul- letin 91, "Poultry Feeds and Feed- ing," by Gm Robertson, Assistant Poultry husbandman Of, the Experi- mental b'arms System. The bulletin, which is obtainable from the Publi- cations Branch at Ottawa, describes the hopper system tem of feeding, the. moist mash system and many other matters of interest to poultry keep- ers.

The plant is; '- after all, only a beautiful weed, e common pest in France. It would he wise to take, thought and to learn from a former experience of a similar nature. Tho blueweed, or Bishop's Curse, was imported several years ago, presumably for garden purposes exclusively, but it is now a noisome post in portions of eastern Canada. The thought of the Flanders poppies "over there" calls forth feelings of national pride. Bringing them 'over here will destroy their sentimental value for Canadians and will add an- other to our already long list of plant nuisances. -Conservation, FIRST SERIES 1919) COST DURING -1919-- JAN. $ 4.00 FEB.4.01 MAR. $ 4.02 APR.$ 4.03 MAY $ 4.04 JUNE$4.O, JULY$4.si AUG. °'i*•�. 01 "h."”:!,14 I+Iiy •‚1.f -• WAR SrA'lin Gil FP Buy W-55 Where You_ SeeThis Si NOr 0 DEC." 4.11 TO - TO + WHEN aFFgxEd'a wan 'SAYINGS CERTIFICATE AND SUBJECT TO'THE CONOiTIONS o =.
