see. We were all night Sunday
night, but got through at sunset
Monday. We then pitched tents
and stayed all night. The next
morning we went to Montifau-

shells fail. They would shell
that place every day about meal
time.
There had once been a town
but they had shelled it so many
times it did not. look like there
had ever been town there.
But that is about the way all the
town are where the fighting was.

to Oct. 9th, most of the time.
They would often tear out some
awful holes close to us. We
would dig US holes in the ground
for protection but the shells hit
mighty close some time.
Many time l have held my
breath thinking they were going
to hit the hole I was in. We
called them fox-holes.
If one were to make any noise

shooting with a machine gun.

MISS WILKIN REPORTS
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION OF
CHILDREN IN THE RURAL
SCHOOLS.

Miss Merlin Wilkin, Lake county
school and community nurse, has
ompleted her visitation reports for
the month just closed and they are
now in the hands of Miss Alice Ripe,
secretary of the Lake County School
and Community Nurse association.
Miss Wilkin and Miss Rippe'have to-
gether made visits of inspection in
the Wentworth and Highland country
school districts, the former disclos-
ing hat influenza is decreasing out
side of towns and villages. In her
inspection close attention raj given
to the condition of teeth and tonsils.
The report for the month of jan
uary as compiled by Miss Wilkin re-
veals the following facts: Of 221
children examined six were found un-
dernourished; 40 had enlarged GER
vical glands; one girl possessed a
thyroid (goitre) four children were
lame; eight had skin infections; five
showed defective hearing; 48 cases
of defective eyesight; "a possessed
bad teeth: "a had enlarged tonsils.
Out of the total of 221 only Sc chill
dren were considered sound. This
report shows that the percentage of
dental defects runs about on the av-
erage while the per cent of tonsil and
eye defects is higher than usual.
These examinations have been
carefully and thoroughly made and
notices to parents with reference to
the condition Of childrden will follow.
The wise parent will be guided by
the advice of the visiting nurse and
take measures to improve the health
of those who are trying to secure an
~Ieducation under physical handicaps.
