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

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.

- 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.
