age of 22 years. She was night oper-

As an instance of how science and industry have co-operated in helping to win
the war, it is interesting to note that Sir Thomas White, K.C,M.C,,, Minister of
Finance, has made a special "Hie Muster's Voice" Record for tate purpose of
actually informing the Canadian Public 10 his Dietl voice concerning the need of
the second Victory Loan,
J Science has thus made it possible for the voice of the Finance Minister to be
heard in thousands of places in every part of the Country at the same time.

Christmas Boxes
So many have asked me for sugges-
tions along the line of boxes, for the
boye, so to save time 1 will write a few
lines for publication. You have not the
slightest oonoeption how your boxes
are appreciated in ,the hospital's. Fol
the last two years I Neve had the euvi.
able pleasure at the Ohrietmes sea -
sone of distributing gifts among the
boye in the wards, The eager eyee
and outstretched hands make you re.
joioe to think you have something to
givei
Of course, arnica are a welcome sight,
and if the women hero could sae just
what I have seen, they would never
grow weary of knitting, There is one
drawback just here: The distribution
is not equalized sufhioiently, The
socks should be more equally divided,
ae some of the sturdier hoepitale do not
receive sufficient to go around. by any
means, I have sometimes had about
a dozen pairs to hand out to nearly
eiirty men in my hut, and that is a
greatetraiu on the sister as on the
boys who have to go on their bare feet
until their worn socks are dry again
after they have been washed. In some
of the larger hoepitale the supply ex-
ceeds the need, and that is why the
smaller ones should be more partionarly
looked after, Soap is scarce; the boyo
are always asking for soap. Tooth
brushes are badly needed also tooth
paste and shaving soap are always wel-
comed with a cheer.
A pipe and tobacco will lighten the
heaviest heart, and gives hone of com-
fort to our boye, When packing your
boxes do not hesitate to send ciga-
rettes. Those scruples which Boise ad-
here to Bo rigidly would be quickly over
ridden if they could once see the de-
jection and disappointment on some of
those poor tortured faces when there
are no cigarettes forthooming. One
could write at length on• the occasions
when those same cigarettes have
brought a moment of solace) in a time
of torture and diatreea. "Give me a
