During the week l had occasion to
go out to st. Pierre DIES Corps where
the immense salvage factory, of
which you have heard SO much, is
located so took that opportunity to
go through the plant. There has
been so much said about the work of
this factory in various accounts that
have been published in the papers and
magazines that I'll not go into de-
tail here for I'm sure that you've al
ready read about it. It's function is
to receive salvaged property and re-
pair and clean it for reissue, OF if
incapable of being repaired, turn it
to other uses. 1t thereby saves the
government many thousands of dol
lars every month. The material re-
ceived is largely quartermaster prop
erty-clothing, shoes, boots, etc.
since it is not concerned with Ordi-
nance property such as guns, rifles,
etc, which are sent elsewhere. When
fighting was in progress and for some
time after the signing of the armis
tice great quantities of material we're
picked up on the battlefield and sent
here, but now the receipts are largely
confined to material actually worn
out by the troops. AS consequence
the plant is gradually being shut
down as the work decreased.

Tea and Sulphur, properly compound

proved by the addition Of other in
gradients, at a small cost. q
Don't stay gray! Try 1t! No one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as it does it so naturally and
evenly. You dampen a sponge or soft
brush with it and draw this through
your hair, taking one small strand at
a time; by morning the gray hair dis
appears, and after another application
or two your hair becomes beautifully
dark, glossy and attractive.-Adv.

is estimated in the summary of an ex-
