cases like that of Mrs. Joeph Le-

says:—I have been a great suffer

Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills had done

It is not too early for those who

that if fruit trees can. be bought

old, they would bear much sooner
than trees one or ‘two years of age,
from the time of budding. Such
however, is not the case. One or

also usually planted after having

along the Cambrai road not far
from Epinoy and partly in out-
posts behind the German wire. The
country was undulating and in
places afforded an extensive view

in all directions and our men. suf-
fered very severely. I was in an

‘Though many wounded were;
brought in, we knew that some
were still lying out on the other

side of the wire in full view of the
enemy. As soon as it was dark
enough, a bearer party, which I ac-
companied, started off. to try and
collect these men. With: my cane

to a poor fellow who had been
lying there since the previous
night with a smashed arm and leg,
He was in great pain, but the men
got him in safely and the next
time I saw him was in a Toronto
hospital where he was walking
about with a wooden leg and © his
arm ina sling. I went down to an
outpost where I saw some men. Wye
could only talk in whispers as we
knew the Germans were close at
hand. They told me they were one
of the companies of the 10th, Bat-
talion. I asked “Where are your

replied, “A (Lance Corpora I re-

The 10th, Battalion was relieved
that night by the 8th, the O.C4, of
which made his headquarters with
the C.O. of the 5th Battalion in a
large dugout by the sunken road.
There late at night I shared
bunk with a young machine gun
officer, and a few hours of some-
what disturbed sleep. The next
morning, Sunday, September the
29th the fourth anniversary of our
sailing from Quebec, our men
were having a hard time. The
Germaia defence at Cambrai was
most determined and they hada
large quantity of artillery in the
neighborhood, I went back to the
road and into the trench beyond
the wire and found a lot of men
there. The parapet was so low that
the men had dug what they called
“Punk holes” in the clay where

as they could: Sitting ina bend
of the trench where I got a = good

view of the men I had a service
for them, and as it was the festiv-
al, I read out the epistle for St.
Michael and All Angel’s Day and
spoke of the guardianship of men
which God had committed: to the
Heavenly Hosts. Going.down the
trench later on, I came to a place
from which I could see with my
glasses a German machine gun em-
placement and {ts crew. I went
back and asked for a sniper. A
man who sald he was one came up
to me and I showed him the enemy
and then directed his fire. 1 could
see from little puffs of dust where
his bullets were landing. He was a
good shot and I think must have
done some damages for all of a

leave the men before the war was

by the example of their noble cour-

manhood and a longing to follow

OUT OF THE WAR

When the doctors had finished
binding up my wounds, I was carr-
ie off immediately to an ambulance
in the road, and placed. in it with
four others, one of whom was dy-

hours and a half to No. 1 -C.C.8.

MY LAST FAREWELL
1 went back to the gangway for

it must be a last farewell, for
though some of us will meet again
as individuals it will be under
altered conditions. Never again but
in dreams will one gee the great

on the vessel that day the fighting
men had come — home jn all their
strength and comradeship. I stood,
on the gangway full of conflicting
emotions.

The men called out “Speeck,

“Oh, Arthur!” she gasped, “that
