Here are a few extracts from the report of a physician on conditions as he found them in a certain State to the Kouth of us. Do these condi- tions also prevail in our own fair land? , I am afraid ihey do. This is what he says: "Not to bring up r child way he should go, physically, men- tally and morally, is a terrible sin of omi.siiion. "That the hpysical condition of our childre.i is deplorable appears in the •taliatics of every medical inspection that has been published. â- "Who are we that seventy per cent, of our school children should have rotten teeth? Who iire we that thousands of our cliildren are born of diseased parents? Who are we tha'- thousands of our children, on ac- count of vicious environment and wicked neg'lect, arc allowed to be diteasc-d and refective? Who are ve, that because of forcing bad air, bad food and bad sanitation upon our children they take on tuberculosis and die in early life ?

In citie.i, the t'ondiiions seem a wee bit better, for there typhoid is Iws, tuberculo.^is is perhaps less, and the death rate, leaving out accidental deaths, is less.

I wa.i v/urned for a bombinj-raid that was likely to prove a "forlorn hope." Therefore, I wrote a certain letter, putting on the envelope, "To be for- warded in the event cf my death," and handed it to a chum to take care of â€" he was not going on the raid. "I understand," he said. That letter did not have to be sent, for I was unhit. A Fallen Comrade. We were waiting near a dump. An ofiicer of another regiment came up and said: "â€" "There's a poor laddie of your regi- ment lying out on the ridge yonde*. I "thought you might like to know." I followed his guidance and found the body. 1 felt in the breastpocket and found an envelope. It was a fearsome task, but when I read in the brilliant moonlight the words, "In the event of my death ^indly forward," I was glad I had found courage to do it. Later two comrades were killed, and for several days I moved about a battlefield carying those three pre- cious letters, and in danger of "going West" myself. I did not worry about the safety of the letters. I knew that if I "stopped it" others would take and can-y them until the chance came to send them te the loved ones in Blighty. Some weeks later I was wounded, and came home. For four months a comrade carried a packet of old let- ters, which I Jiad left in my pack when I discarded it on the battlelield. When he at last achieved leave he brought them to me in England. "I knew they were personal, old chap, and I wouldn't ti'ust 'era to the post," he said. Those letters were doubly precious to me after that. Risk Life to Recover Token. I wonder if those at home who have received the personal treasures and letters of their dead know that great courtesy of the British soldier? How men risk their lives and crawl into No Man's Land so that a dear pal's wife or mother â€" it Js to his women- folk that the soldier usually addresses that sacred letter â€" shall have the very last message he ever wrote. Through what infei-nos of shelling they carry those letters! How they will add to their overburdened kit some token that Bill, or George, would like his "missus" to have, and how they carry such a treasure, aiul will not part with it until they can find a rertain"mes3enger to take it to the bereaved woman! No; there is no glory in war, but there is love. â€" * i •tmm^.t. I Use more soup Put in plenty of vegetables end ric« or barley.

The floundering of the early Tank* ill the deep mud of Flanders roused jov in (Jerman hearts. Surely this mighty engine of war could be de- I'Ci'ted by a zone of soft earth or by shallow pools ot water! Therefore a liie of trenches was cut and floo<led as defence, and failed. For, while th.' Huns were chortling and digging, our i.-cchanicians were planning new stunts for their ungainly toy, includ- ing the carriage of a strong bridging- hurdle to repair gaps and span trenches. The great gulf of the t'anal (lu Nord was anticipated deep enough and wet enough to stop the British rush to the Hindenburg line. Ac- cordingly, all bridges were bi-eached and the banks pulverized by shallow mines. Then the enemy retired, lin- ing the further bank with machine guns. Next morning the first Tank plung- ed up tho shcll-rivcn road, and reach- ed the elements of a bridge. The arch "drushed," as was expected, and the great steel moster .sat down heav- ily in tho ruins, immovable, the target for every rifle and Maxim that could be brought to bear. Under cover of a smoke-bomb/ the crew scrambled out of tho upper manhole, and took shelter where they could in the lee of the fallen giant. Then a second*Tank waddled up. There wfis a halt, and its team of engineers, rising appar- ently from tho earth, deftly reached down certain steel joists which were laid as a pathway from terra-firmn to the tortoi.se top of the abandoned ma- chine in front. With a mighty churning nnd (jrind- ing, Tnnk No. %, ci-awled out over No. 1, bumped on to the centre pier of tho bridge, made a few more bounces, and then crashed the crown of the further arch, sinking to the canal level. Tank No. 3 was on the heels of its predecessors, its Maxims nnd six-pounders belching shells by the siring cgRlnst the enemy's posts, and covering the working-party. Again the bridging material was laid, and right smartly our third Tank bump- ed and wabbled across the improvised span of steel, nnd came into close action, paving the way for our in- fantry to complete the l>r«ach. f auada FoDa BClra, i.ic«nc«No. It-US Food Control Comer Get Government Feed.
