just packed with my boys. The old

and hung to our hands,"
Excerpts from a letter of October
q follow:
"On the Trail to Berlin
''Still alive and scrapping like the
devil. All the boys are feeling fine
and as usual roaring to go.
My rabbits foot is working fine,
had my horse shot from under me and
| never got scratch. The horse was
the same one that / rode in Alsace,
Chateau Thierry, Soissons and here
and would go any place wanted her
to-
In later letter he writes:
Il Just came from the front where
we have been for ~ days without a
rest, so / didn't have chance to send
out much mail, but it is all off with
William now, so I will write regular
again.
How long it will be before we come
home is not known as yet, but | sup
pose we will be the army of occupation
for month or SO.
Il would not have missed this little
party for anything, and didn't we give
them hell You should have seen
them go. And my boys-a better
daredevil bunch never lived and they
can fight, believe me. Oh, l will have
home.
Everyone is waiting anXiously for
the time to sail for the good old U. 5.
A. We expect to be among the first
and now that it is over with I can
hardly wait to get back"

To the People Of Ladysmith
In regard to the health conditions
among our people in Ladysmith, ]
wish to give you the following reports
as made to me, as health officer, and
which reports are filed with the State
Board of Health:
During October November and tC
date, December 1S there has been in
our city nine deaths from pneumonia
of all forms, as follows:
Pneumonia-not due to the "flu''-
three deaths.
Pneumonia-report due to the
''fiu''-three deaths.
Pneum0nia-du to the "fiu" not
residents of Ladysmith, but brought
in here from different points in the
county, and died here in the hospital
three deaths
One of the cases reported as "fu''
gave birth to a child some hours before
death and no doubt that contributed
largely to her death.
The youngest reported as dying
from pneumonia is about seven months
old, and the Oldest is about 721a years.
The youngest death was still-born.
The Oldest is 80 years and 29 days.
There have been IS deaths from all
causes. Twelve of those have been
buried elsewhere than at Ladysmith.
| am unable to compare the death
record during this time with the same
period last year for E have not access
to the records of last year.
Cases reported as those having the
influenza for the last seven days end
ing the evening of Dec. is, are % in
number and none of them have been
reported as seriously i'll.
The prevention of influenza depends
more upon the people than anything
the Board Of Health is able to do.
Your health will he guarded to the
very best Of the ability of the health
board but we much ask your hearty
cooperation. We are placarding
everything that is reported as grip or
FLU, but that does not mean neces-
sarily that everyone is dangerously

Analyze these figures and feel some
what thankful that we have not been
scourged as have many places. Let us
continue to keep things as well as they
are and better them if we can. 1 re-

text the question of the lawyer to

L"Who is my neighbour" which Jesus

Samaritan Mr.. Layton took up the
dominant features Of Odd Fellowship
friendship love and truth, which he
showed to be fundamental to all SOC
ial growth. He pointed out that real
friendship is part of the essential ma
ture of God and is therefore to be ex-
tended toward foes as well as toward
those we speak of as friends. Love.
he said, is a far wider thing than
the mere love of friends and demands
service and assistance to the down
and OUT and needy. Truth Mr.. Lay
ton defined as the power that through
the ages has always caused humanity
to progress upward. Anything that
