"The average cures in cages in Trinidad compare ably with any part of the world where there are people afflicted with the disease," The Guardian states, '"'This is made possible in view of the most modern methods nsed along scientific lines and by the co-operation of that splendid institution; the British Empire Lep- rosy Relief Association. "But more than this it was due to the unselfish and self-sacrificing work put through by Dr. T. B. Welch, Medical Superintendent of the Chacachacare Leper Settlement and the co-operation given by the unfortunate patients.

"GROUSERY" FEED POOR FAMILIES South African Veteran, Un- der Unique Name, Doing Splendid Work Cape Town, South Africa, Jan. 22. --'Grousers" is the name as- sumed by several hundred former goldlers who have started a move- ment with the avowed object of see- ing that no woman or child in Pie- tersmaritzburg goes hungry, but, needless to say, these men are not grousers--far from it. Within three weeks of the new movement being begun there were more than 600 so-called grousers, according to the Pietersmaritzburg correspon- dent of The Capt Argus, Cape Town, The Argus correspondent says: Rich in body and delicate as blossoms in its flavour "SALADA" TEA 'Fresh from the gardens' "On Tuesday, November 18, as a result of certain letters in the Press criticizing the pomp and ceremony of Armistice Day celebrations, while women and children were in want in the city, 27 former soldiers met in secret and decided 'that no woman or child of any race, color or creed should go hungry in our city." Each of those 27 men sup- scribed one pound and several promised clothes, They wrote to the press asking for volunteers and stating what they were out for, but gave no names. Now they number EX VANS SESE S more tlran 600 and they can call ug in a few hours $3,250 in addition te $500 in the bank. They have giv- en out cheques for groceries to the value of $1,695 and also donated clothes and food. " 'Grousers' run a free soup and bread kitchen for 'Maritsburg's poor, and they feed every deserving case. They also help to find work for the unemployed. To the well- to-do section of the public they are a mystery; none but a grouser knows who grousers are---except those who appeal for help." ~ "VICTOR Gominaton ne VICTOR RADIO HOME-RECORDING ELECTROLA -- RE-57 $397.50 Complete with tubes Now you can easily own this wonder instrument For...
