“Before we proceed upon our rouncs,” said Captain Ryan, “it might be well for me to tell you who are to be fed. ‘The gross total is some 9,000 persons, black and white. The total number of white men is appromixately 1,150, of white women 400. and of white children 3000. ‘The balance of the popu: lation cons ists of coleured per- sons and natives, and comprises some 2,000 men, 2,000 women, and 3,000 children. On my direct ration registe e! I have 1,900 souls.’

Chere are three methods of distribut ing ratiens, First, by indent direction the daily issue frem the Army Service Corps; second distribution by Mr. Frank Whiteley, in connection with tke women’s laager; third a weckly issue every Sunday by the Relief Commitee Under the first system 1,072 white and 336 coloured persons receive rations under the second 97 whites, 142 chi dren, and 1,811 coloured persens are fed. while under the third system 83 whites and 63 colored persons receive relief.

The ration under the first system consists of one pound of fresh meat and six ounces of bread materials, in the form of Boer mealie meal bread, which is excellent eating, On Sundays, army biscuit on Mondays, and com- osite biscuit on the remaining days of the week. This biscuit is composed largely of oat flour, with smaller pre- portions of Boer meat and lard. It is owing to the fact that a large stock of colonial and Scotch oats was laid in by the Army Service Corps, and that the firm of Well & Company cad in their possession a fair stock ef colonial oats at the beginning of the siege, that

A third or relief issue is made on practically the same lines as number except that the supplies are drawn

and that the meat is tinned, Boers mealie meal is issued in quantities instead of bread or biscuits. The recipientsare mostly women and children, but also a few old men, who are unable to bear arms or are absolutely destitute.

‘The sowans porridge most valuable discovery. It was brought into promirence by two men of the railway division, Sims of Birnie, Scotland, and Carter. The laiter died a few days after he brought it forward. The porridge is made from the oat bran which results from sifting the husks fromthe oat flower. This is placed in wooden tubs, with a gallon and half of water to every hundred pounds. It is alowedto stand and ferreent for twenty-four hvuurs, when the water is drained off.

Tortures of ... Eczema cn the Scalp

Some of the cures effected by Dr. Chase's Cinuuwent are more like miracles than anyth 8 ise. The — ise recorded here was one of th worst ever brought tothe attention of Toront« s hest physicians, and when doctors gave up all ac ope of recovery Dr. Chases Ointment was successful in vroducing a perfect cure.

Mr, James Scott, 136 Wright Ave., Toronto, states : ‘‘My boy Tom, aged ten, was for nearly three years afilicted with a bad form of = zema of the scalp, which was very unsightly

ure in Dr. Chase’s Oin.ment. About five boxes were used. The original sores dried up, leaving the skin in its normal condition. To say it is a p! leasure to testifv to the wonderful merits of Dr. Chase’s Ointment is putting it very mildly.”
