him out the other day for a little
sightseeing as | had to go to Aid
yate--a street near the bank of
England--and we sent him on to
France later with his possessions
in n newspaper, aside from what
he had on his back. II is quite re

it could be sent TO us.
The papers here tell of viola
tions Of food regulations. One
dame got one-half pound Of sugar
ON false registration: she WAS fin

was 500 and 4 months in Jail. An
Australian Y. M. c. A. leader was
fined $40 for taking q trip in an
auto when the magistrate told him
he might have gone by train. A
woman was fined $50 for having
a candle lighted in her room with

hause had been warmed twice be-

them here.
We have for lunch various
things like sausage, toad in the
hole "a kind of sausage pie), cab
bare, and boiled potatoes, baked
jam ROLL, Suet and nlarma,ade, kid

and at night-Something some Of
them never did before, Apparently
il is because no sugar and little
salt is used in the preparation Of
food.
