Hoy, to welcome home their youngest aon, Charlie, who h»d returned from overseas, a short while ago, where he spent ^ two years. Durin" the evenins he was pre- sented with an address and a well filled purse. The address was read by Mr. McArthur of Ceylcn, while Lewis Pedlar made the presentation. AllhoUKh taken by surprise Charlie made a very tittict; reply. The remainder of the evefiing was spent in music and dcincing. Mr. aud Mrs. Will Harj^rare, of Wareh^m, visited reoeatly with the furoier's brother, John. John English, of Sioghimpton, is fspending a few days wibh his brother, Alex English. ' Mr. and Mrs. Ned Croft visited over Sunday with the letter's parents at Feveasham. l^uite a number from around here took iu the show at Markdale on Friday night.

We «re ijlad to report Annie Betts recovering after being laid up with a severe cold. Mr. and Mrs. Levi Be<ta, and family, attended a reception in Kimberley Ubt week tnr Ezra fawcett, who had just leturneu from overseas. Mr. and Mrs. Cbiis. Brodie visited over iSunday with relatives here. PRICEVILLE hince we wrote last, death has ar^&m visited our neighborhood, aud we dud it our sad duty to mention the {.assiu^ away i f Mrs. McDonald, Durham Roaii on ''"ob. I'Jlh. As many will remember her husband, Mr. Daniel McDonald, just predeceased her only a few months ago. She was a kind and genial lady and friends and neighbors, near and far, were much attached to her. She was a member of the Presbyterian church, aud her pastor, Rev. J. A. Matheson, who Utely moved to Mono Mills, came up to attend the funeral, and preached a com fortiug seriuou at the home, aud con- ducted the service at the grave iu toe Pricevilie public cemetery. Kev. Lee, of Temple Hill, preached morning and eveumg in the Presbyterian church last Sunday, and many of the congrenation express pleasure on heariti;.' him aud it is likely that he will be re- quested to come again. • Mrs. D, McKiunou arrived home a few diys ajio to be with her father, Mr. A. Hincks, who is seriously ill. Pie. David McLeod returned last week from France, where he has been with llie construction force. He escaped wiih slight wounds. A Palestine Letter Captain Edwin Smith, with the British forces in Palestine, son of Mr. I. Smith, of Rock Mills, wrote home under date of October 13 last, a most interesting letter, fronr. which we quote : We are still on the trek, giving old Turco no rest at all. We entered Beir Jt about four days ago, but pushed right on through for several miles. However, we have had two days rest and are start- las; on again. Beirut is a most interest- ing place. There is an American Uni- versity there and many people speak English. It is the place where the Ease and West meet, sud you get a lot of each. There are lots of French people who are splendid as far as giving us a gjod time goes We received a tremendous recep- tion when we marched in. Talk about flags, iriumphil urclies,etc. I have seen nothing like it before. They had a holiday i^o celebrate their delivsrance. Mount Lebanon is very beautiful. la fact it is wetiderful. In the afternoon the hills look simply gorgeous. C<! course this is the best time of the year. The fruit is just getting ripe and everyone looks very prosperous!. The people tell us that two thirds cf the total population h^s starved to death during the last four years, a total of somethin* like 200,000 in Lebanon alone. It shows you what old Turkey is capable of. He runs the w.;r on the poorest c'asses and leaves the riclitT people alone. The poverty is nauseating. What is leff of the lower cla.ss people go about wiril b.irely a r»g to cover their loins and every boce seems to stick right through the skin. I have seen dozens of kiidies as old as 17 yenrs without u sin<le stitch to cover them. Tliey eat corn husks and raw barlty and as a result their tummies are blown out like ny baloons. No wonder the American relief committee has as hands full. I saw a woman lying on the pavement as ne rode through Beirut, with II aiain sack thrown over her b. dy, r.p;ia:eutly by some soldier. She was in 'he l.kst slage.s of starvation and was covered wiih dies. That is the sort if thing that makes one forget he is tired and want to push on and beat the Turk to a fiaz.!!e. We have done it pretty well already. He is starving himself. 1200 Turk soldier3 came into imr camp the day af;er we arrived. They could get nothing to eat and were glad to be captured. I received a parcel last night sent July 26th W,e are all sick on t today. You should hear the commanding otticer talk about the cake. They are all going out to Canada after the war if cakes like that are made out there. He is always talk- ing about the strawberries that I got in the last parcel. They were the finest he h:ts ever eatiu. We have ju«t receiv. ed a wire .hat there are two mule loads of mail waiting. We are very excited abou' i'. We havt-a't had a letter for a uioiiib.

A Russian Bath A Fleshsrton boy, who is with the forces in northern Russia, writes hii mother as follows ; You often speak of us comini; home and of course I wilt as soon as I can for I want to see yfu. Then there is that s^x months to put in ut school, which I feel inclined to hnish. Outside of these two associations Canada ia not so very differ- ent from the rest of the world, as far as! can see. In fact essential y I don't believe there is much difference. Cmada may be a little ahead in some respects ; but that off-rs all the more opportunity fur a Canadian iu these other couotiies, doesn't it f We have got a few pairs of skis today and some of the boys have been trying them. We arc close to the hi^h bank of a river, so they are hav ug all the sensa- tions of real ski artists. Some of them have even been trying leaps through the air, wh:ch will surety bear i ut my state- ment above, because I believe a leap is about the hardest thing t.) do on skis. I didn't see tbeir, but I frc! sue the r leaps were more like dives th:in :inything else. Only Ivh of the boys besides myself have been accustomed to tbera at ill. We are going to have wild turkey for ( ur Christmas dinner.

I-fliust try to ni\e you some idea of what these Russian baths are like iu realiiy. The bath house is a mu: ature bg cabin usually at some distance from the main dwelling, which is also of logs. The batti I am thinking of is a' it six feet scjusre and five feet high. Per furniture there are two benches ai;d two or three wooden pails. The hre place is a pile of loose boulders in one C' rucr : the chimney is a hole in the wall and you see ii all by the light of one small w<n J.>w. The hole in the wall opens into an outer chamber about three I'eet wide on the aud of the largB ( ;) room. This chaniber is quite open to the skies and seems io serve two purposes Ic takes the sn.oke partly away from the door and acts as a crude annealing chamber when going ir.to aud out from ihe hot cliamter. Wiil, you crawl through doors and light a tire under tho ttoves and beat it out to t;i:t fresh air. When the stones are quite hor, you uo in and uudress ius'de or undress outside, unt some stones ii to the Cold pails cf tt"a'er and throw a t w cupfulsonti the tireplace, having p. c- vious'y closed the door and the hole iu tho wall â€" oh yes. and having previously carried out the remaiu.s of the fire. It i.> warm when you enter and hot wl tu you throw water on the lire place. .\ er sweating awhile iu the steam we fi isli the bath from the buckets by sponn:'i8 I don't icnuw" bow tho Russians do it. They usually h IV e a cooked appear ince espec'ally the kids. 1 guess it tnu^t tie the weekly bath that does it. â€" W. W.
