The GAS MASK.

Every soldier who goes any
where near the front line trenches
is compelled to carry his gas mask
all the time. From the time the
Boche first let loose bis gas on the
Canadian troops until today, no
soldier has dared to be without
one.
The first masks were pretty
crude affairs-mere Wads of cotton
batting soaked with different
chemicals to cOunteTaCt the gas.
But the German gas ami their
methods of applying 1t were rather
crude at the same time, so il saved
the day. Now, however, the best
respirators are iii use, and they
are capable of withStanding any
gas the Hun has been able to de
wise.
The gas mask consists of a
tight lifting combination rubber
and cloth helmet that fits over the
head, and an OXYGEN tank that is
connected with the mouth by a
strong rubber tube. 1t IS essen
TALLY the same apparatus chat fire
fighters use to combat smoke, and
that mine rescuers use against gas.
1t Is equipped with goggles SO
that the men can see to keep on
fighting, and the best forms are
not much Inconvenience for any
kind of work.
The Germans have graduated
from the gas wave school now. II
the wind Is not exactly right, It Ii
liable TO blow the gas back on
them. So he used gas shell alto
gether these days. This means
that our soldiers are often obliged
to keep their masks on for hours
at stretch, or until relieved by
some other division.
However, we are beginning to
make gas attacks of our own now,
and it is some satisfaction to
know that because of the lack of
rubber, the German has been able
to make an inferior mask that
often does not protect at all.
One $50 Liberty Bond will pro
vide four gas masks for our sol
diers.

The building committee of the St.

awarded the contract for the rebuild

for $4,000. The committee have
had several meetings in the past
week to reach a decision, and have
checked the plans over carefully to
know what they are getting, and to
see that they are getting all they in
tend to include in the rebuilding,
The contract with Mr.. Robertson in
cludes the building only. No win
dows, inside fixtures, plumbing
or heating is included in this
contract. 1t is hoped that work will
begin at once at clearing away the
wreckage of the fire, and that re-
building will be undertaken as soon
as material can be got. Nearly the
whole of the standing walls can be
used in the new building without
wrecking them. Very little altera,
ZION will be made in the floor plan OF
the building, and what is made will
be at the extreme rear, where more
recent additions were made.

Grafton was performed by local sur
geons, and it was found that the bull
let, entering the boys left side at
about four inches above the hip bone
went downward through the intes-
tines, and lodged at the front of the
upper leg. 1t punctured an intestine
in it's course, and the operation re-
Iaired that injury, though the bullet
has not yet been recovered.
1t appears that the two boys were
playing with the rifle, in full knowl-
edge that it was loaded. The boy
who had the weapon stood on a box
three feet above the injured youth
when the gun exploded from an un-
explained cause. The doctor was
summoned, and brought him to Mad
ison, where he lies in a grave con
dition.

WESTABY WRITES
LONG LETTER FROM TRAINING
CAMP - GREAT COUNTRY
AND GREAT ARMY.

Writing from Camp John Wise, at
San Antonio, Tex. to NJ. III. Colgrove,
C. r. Westaby conveys much of the
contentment shown by soldiers OF
the great army for army life, and of
the ambition to get to the front and
into the real action of fighting.
Mr.. Westaby calls attention to the
fact that there are nearly 2,000,0 900
men under arms in the United States
service now, and that none of the
plans for raising this great army,
which may be doubled within a year,
have miscarried or worked to the
harm or hardship of any individual.
So perfect is the system that an army
man never misses a meal, where one
in business for himself is often him
dered from eating regularly. Ger
tain quantities of food are provided
for each man. No certain cost is at
tached to each ration as formerly,
making the graft a thing to be prac-
ticed widely. The average gain in
weight per man is reported by the
authorities to be nine pounds in five
months. Mr.. Westaby reports a gain
Of IL pounds in six months.
The men are extremely regular in
their habits. They rise early and go
to bed early. Homesickness is rare,
and loneliness only on guard duty.
Companies have their fun makers,
and most have pianos rented, and
many are excellent musicians.
He Is enthusiastic over the co-or-
