ISIIIIIIEII GIIIIILI
” PLIISEII WIIH IHIIIIID
The following interesting letter has
been received by Mrs. Catherine
Hughes, of Mill Cove, from her son
Peter:
My dear mother,-You must excuse
my delay in writing you, but if you
thoroughly understood how the du-
ties of a soldier so often interfere
with other duties you would pardon
me at once. I had a most enjoyable
trip to Dublin, where I met some ot'
the best people. I stayed at a good
hotel and this was away from the
general influence that affects a sol-
dler's life. I sent you a little present,
also subscribed for a weekly paper
for you. I am sending Mary ol green
silk handkerchief also. You know
the change from nine months of bar-
barism, mud, and trouble to the peace
[of civilization is so great and u. per-
son wishes and tries to crowd into
-seven short days as much pleasure
and sight seeing as possible that it
thing else. ’1‘lmt is the reason I did
not write a series of letters when'ou
leave. I met. some gentlemen who
know Carlow well and they are going
to find out as much as possible for
me so that when I visit Ireland again,
l shall be able to go straight to some
certain destination. As it was I might.
have lost a couple of days of' my leave
and then have found out nothing.
-When coming back I met a young
British officer in London with whom
l had a conversation. After a time
he asked my name and we found out
_that both of us were Hughes, also
that our forefathers came from the
some place, and there is surely a
‘strong family resemblance, so we
came to the conclusion we were cou-
sins. I had to leave him shortly to
catch my train but after a. while he
is going to hunt me up here and we
shall have a. longer conversation.
On the night I left for Ireland we
took a German trench. killed thirty
and took twelve prisoners. retired
and only lost one man killed and one
wounded. We are quite proud of our-
selves ever siuce. l am thinking
‘ there is something big going to hap-
pen shortly but somehow I have no
fear ot'_ the outcome as far as I am
concerned. I was never treated by
u. crowd of strangers as well as I was
treated in Dublin. They all tried
their best to do something for me and
a great body of them came down to
the boat to see me ofl’ singing "For
he’s a jolly goodfellow," etc. I was
quite pleased. There is no heart as
warm as a true Irish one but I never
realized it as fully before. I am a
bigger Irishman than ever and would
feel badly if I could not visit “Ouid
Ireland" again before I go back to
Canada. l might bring "Peggy
Byrne" back with me. She and I be-
came good friends.
I can get a. commission in an Irish
regiment any time but hate to leave
the Canadians.
You know this time of the year I
can’t lie out under the trees and
write like in the summer and it is rot-
ten trying to write in our dugouts.
Well Mother, I 'shall' be in a better
.nposltiou to write you a long letter in
a few days, so I shall send best love
to all and kindest regards to all
lend
_back your parcel was waiting for me.
I am wearing a pair of the socks new
and they are certainly comfortable.
lf you end cigarettes again send
Sweet Cfporal as I like Item. Well
good-bye for the present. `
‘ Your loving son, I _
- PETER.

Dear Brotber.- t the one und tina
Received your always welcome let-
ter teday and was glad to hear from
you.
Well Cecil times are pretty lively \
over here, we are back from the _____ __ ___ _
trenches for s few days rest, was in T” “_”
the front line for eight days. I never
get my eyes on n German ln all that
time. We have get the best of them
here lu the artillery line so they have
not get it all their own way as they
had last year. The night before we
came out was pretty wild they
sent over a lot of shells some of them
came about as close as I ever want
them to come but Lwas lucky enough
to escape.
The prettiest sight I saw was u
“coal box" burst about three hundred
yards away, it broke about twenty
feet in the air. I don’t. know what
kind of explosive they make them out
of but the smoke is as black as jet.
The night we came out they turned
the machine gun on us. I never hit
the ground so quick in my life. I
dropped behind a little hill and after
a few minutes I felt someone crawl
in alongside of me. After a while e
star shell went up and who was it but
Sergeant Lowther from Kensington.
I don’t think you could get the blade
of my knife between him and the
ground. There was just a bale of bul-
lets going about two feet over our
heads and- that is close enough for
“Yours 'I‘ruly." I suppose you are
having cold weather homo, over here
the sun shines onc lmur and rains
five. '
I wish you would send me some good
old P. E. I., twist won may he sure

TIIELIIEFIISE I0 BEAT
Al periods in most childrens' lives
they fail to relish their meals and refuse
to eat even the delicacies prepared to
tempt their appetites. They lack am-
bition, end growth seems impeded,
which causes anxiety and worly.
'l`o compel them to eat is a grave
mistake, because nutrition is impaired.
Healthful exercise in fresh air and sun-
shine is important, but equally import
ant is a spoonful of Scott's Emulsion
three times a day to feed the tissues
and furnish food-energy to improve
their blood, sid nutrition and sharpen _
their appetites.
The highly concentrated medicinal-
food in Scott.'s Emulsion supplies the
very elevtetits children need to build up
their stron tli. They relish Scott's-it is
free from grugs. Avoid substitutes.
WHAT CANADA PAYS! `
SOLDIERS PAY AND ALLDWANCES, CONDITIONS 0F ENLISTMENT
PROVISIDN FOR WIVES. MOTHERS AND CHILDREN _
Canada is determined that her sons shall be as well paid and their families as well
cared for,`as a grateful and wealthy country can afford. The scale of pay for Overseas
Service, the allowances from the Patriotic Fund, and the Pensions, are on a more lfbera-I
basis than those of any other country cngagcdin thc war.

vrlvate, Buplers, Drummers etc.....    .1.00 .10 20.00
- The men are, of course, fed and clothed by the Government.
The Separation Allowance is the sum paid by the Governnient to the wife of each
enlisted man, or to the widowed mother if the son is unmarried and \is her sole support.
This is in addition to part of his pay which is reserved for her.
One-half of a solider’s pay is withheld by thc Government and paid to his depend-
ents. This ensures that at least $35.00 per month is paid by the Government to the wife
of encii soldier.    
The Pzflriolic Fund has been created to aSSiSt tI\0S¢ <\C|)C\1d0l\lS Of il SOIUICI' WIIO

The Canadian scale of pensions range for private soldier, from $75.00 per year for cer-
' tain minor injuries to $264.oo_ for total disability. In case of death $e2.oo a month is paid
to the widow, and $5.00 a month for each child. A widowed mother whose son was her whole
