Approved by Canada Food Board ADDRESS "Fall out the sick!" called the ser- geant at the nine o'clock parade one morning recently in a local military uit. Acting according to that army bible popularly known as "K. R. & O or King's Regulations and there was quite a line of men who broke out of their places in the ranks to fall in again in a line in front of ; the "S. M..," or sergeant-major. With an order which came to the cars of the men sounding something like this: "Squad 'shun! Eyes right dress, left turn, quick march to the M. O." the party moved off the par- ade ground to sce that monarch of medicine--the medical officer. In a little room away in one cornet the party found a genial big doctor, clad in a captain's uniform, and very busily engaged in making mysterious Jittle marks on one of the multitude of military forms. It was the re- sult of the examination of a recruit, and on that form were entered all the facts which could possibly be of use TO CETTE A rot Writes From Overseas. ¥. A.

This preparation for the removai of freckles is usually so successful in removing freckles and giving a clear, beautiful complexion that it is sold by any druggist under guarantee to refund the money if it fails. Don't hide your freckles under a veil; get an dunce of Othine and re- move them. Even the first few appli- cations should show a wonderfnl im- provement, some of the lighter freck- les vanishing entirely.

We want you to feel at home." = Just the combina tion of appeal and hint of authority necessary to make those patients re- alize that the staff want a well run place so that they can do their health- rechaiming work in a better way with the co-operation of the patients them- selves, . There is a vast study in the work- ings of such a hospital as Queen's From the well-appointed wards to the diet kitchens and dining rooms 'every- thing-seems to be of the best and in dyspen tion which the patients receive from the human clement of the machine, On the spacious lawn around the hospital every one has seen the khaki- clad figures lying around On the wheel chairs--which, by the way, are the gifts of patriotic donors from all over the cottntry--are men who are not physically capable 6f walking Fhe wheel chairs fill the gap which allows a bed patient to leave his ward to go outside for a short time. Some of the occupants are sufferirig from leg amputations, other from more or £58 serious wounds to, their legs The physically weak and those minus the use of their lower extremities glide up and down the concrete side- walks and the pave t on Univer- Sity avenue, going blocks away from the hospital . The means of locomotion are varied. Sometimes it is the strength of comrades, who, pitying their weaker brothers. take them into new scenes Citizens with a few hours of spare time take advan- tage of the opportunity to do humane work and often push the wheel chairs of the damaged heroes. In some cases the men propel the wheels themselves by the strength in their arms. Through all the long days this is going on. New faces come and old patients leave for their homes or oth er hospitals, but these chairs continue doing their splendid work. Wait for Wounds to Heal. The lawn is a very popular place not only for the occupants of the wheel chairs but for the other pa- tients, Under the healthful sun rays, and breathing the pure air from the lake not far distant, there is almost always a number of men who sit and lie around waiting a« patiently as pos- sible for their wounds to heal so that they can return to their homes. Another favorite "hang-out" for the patients is the recreation room. This was formerly known as. the "Red Room," when students instead of sol. diers traversed the halls. The Red Room is built into a nook in the building which gives it a bay window lighting from the digections of both University avenue and Stuart street. It is wonderfully well located and equipped as a recreation room for invalids . There are two English tables, a piano, a Victrola, Ipng book cases filled with good books and magazines, card tables, checker tables, and everything to help make the boys comfortable and contented durihg the hundreds of hours while science and nature are working for their recovery from sickness and wounds. "Tha. The hooks and mugazines not only supply reading material for the boys who are able to go to the recreation room, but they also go to he hed pa tients of the institution Nursing sisters, or "VAD." girls. with their neat uniform, are often coming into the recreation room to take printed matter to men lying helpless in the wards under their charge. ---- In the Wards. The wards are a study in them- selves. * Housed in rooms which were formerly used by the students, one can see the outline of blackboards nn the walls and can almost feel the chant of a professor dictating notes on the subiects <5 close to the thoughts of all students.

Miguasha Point, Que., May 21. (Special.)--More evidence crops up in this vicinity every day to prove that for rundown people there is no remedy equal to Dodd's Kidney Pills. Among the many who have come forward with statements is Mr. Paul Landry, a well \known resident, | whose testimony can easily be corro- borated. 3 "It is with great write to tell keeping with the standard 'of atten-| of the four walls in a wniform line. In! the centre of the hardwood floor is the | desk of the nursing "sister in charge, Few of the | are occupied in the daytime.

Breakfast comes at eight o'clock to those who are able to go down to the big dining room on the mam floor. Roll call and a "Fall in" is eonducted by the ser- geant-major at nine o'clock every morning. With a reminder of the flight of time by the call to dinner at| noon and supper at six, the boys en-| joy no worries whatever, i Perhaps the serving of many | meals 'might be interesting to the! uninitiated The men after the bell] sounds fall into line ttat stretches! from the dining room door almost! across the building. As cach man | enters the room he walks the full! length of a counter or serving table. | Taking a tray from a pile at one end he follows the line to the opposite wall, helping himself to each serving as he comes to it. He takes a spoon | from one tray, a knife from the next, | a fork from the next, a plate from the next, if it is morning a plate of por-| ridge, then after receiving everything necessary to a satisfying meal he| takes his place somewhere along thei linc of tables. Here he sets his tray| down anid has everything for his meal | right on it At the end of the meal] he redistributes his dishes, etc, by| walking along fhe serving table and] place each down on a tray provided | for the purpose. { s0 Complaints Are Few. would imagine that with 'many idle men, there would be com- | plaints of all kinds. The surprising | fact' is that the complaints are few | and far between. Every day the or-| derly officer enters the "dining room, | and in the lull of noise that follows his entrance he says quite distinctly, "Auy complaints." The rumbling | noise of so many men very vigorously | saying "No" is certain proof that! there is Httle left to be desired. | Perhaps there are people who will read this account and say, "Well, why shouldn't these returned heroes re ceive the best? and thus forget a practical fact. Judging from the| standpoint of the amount of brain] work, worrying .planning, etc, which | is necessary to make the average busi- | ness run along evenly, one can in al small degree appreciate what had! been done at Queen's Military Hos- | pital. There are never any -apolo- | gies to make, as a hospital, a business | institution and as a home those in au- | thority have shown expert organiza. | tion and administrative genius and | they deserve the sincere thanks and | appreciation from an ungrateful pub- | Tic for the work they are doing. i Well Satisfied With | Baby's Own Tablets, 1 | One | | | i Mrs. Edmond 'Gagne, Tikuape, | Que., writes: "I am well satisfied | with Baby's Own Tablets.
