TTTNSTALI I- IN QUAINT OLD LONDON 1 1 ' (Continued From irst ragej ument erected to Florence Nightin gale, the founder of the Red Cross, and on this slab v;e find the words of our Master: "Blessed are the merciful." Just below this is the grave and statue of Sir George Wil liams, the founder of the Y. M. C. A. With bared head and reverent hearts we bowed around the brass statue .that marks his resting place and our guide asked us to offer up a silent prayer and then he called on one of the "Y" men to lead and for all to repeat the Lord's Prayer. We were on Holy Ground and it was a holy moment. We then went to Westminster Abbey and stood before and over the great men of England, since 1066. A great brass slab in the Poets Corner is engraved Alfred Lord Tennyson. This is the greatest honor England could show him. The marble statue of Shakespeare is just above this slab. " No man can de scribe these wonders, and I have made no attempt to do so. From here we were conducted to the House of Parliament and the House of Com mons. One part of this building stands just as it was erected in 10 66. A brass tablet marks the place where Sir Oliver Cromwell took the oath of office and another near by marks the place wli'rre he stood and receiv-J ed his death sentence. From the House of Parliament .ve went to visit the Royal Stables not such a con trast as you might at first imagine. Here we saw the six sets of harness which cost $80,000 and used only at the coronation service and at the opening of the House of Pailiament. The stage coach is more wonderful still. It is 40 feet long, weighs 4 tons, took three years to build, and is 15 5 years old. I also had the priv ilege of patting and rubbing "Delhi" the King's favorite horse, on the nose. So I can laim the honor of being allowed to visit the King's sta ble. There were possibly 200 horses there. The stables were great stone buildings, three stories high. There are just two more places I wish to mention that I think some of you will be interested to read a word a bout. This morning I worshipped at Memorial Taberna,cle, the church made famous by the long and match less work of Charles H. Spurgeon. Most of you know that Dr. A. C. Dix on, a native of North Carolina, is now pastor here. This afternoon I visit ed one of our American Base Hospi tals. There are about 1,000 of our wounded boys there, several from North Carolina, but none from Gran ville county. There were certainly glad to see men just from the States. If you people could see what the Red Cross and the Y. M. C. A. is doing for your boys over here, where they need both so much, you would be grateful of the privilege of having an opportunity to serve in this way. I do not think that I shall find much time to wra.ter after I get locat ed, but I just wanted to write these things to you folks "at home" while I could. With loving greetings, I am, v Most Cordiallv vours, G. T. TUNSTALL. 347 Madison Ave., N. Y. City. . "' ... y vvxuuan, i x -tr.-in l -itf-LO. TL TP3 A0H A Please don't kick over your fare over there any more. We have not. had a grain of sugar in our coffee since we landed, and there is not ev en a bit of sugar for our oatmeal. We take it straight, or sprinkle a lit tle salt on it. It is impossible to get meat without a meal ticket issued by the Government. We had for break- no me xaraneirs M rwrtJni (UaroMea we have purchased the largest menhaden fishing factory in the north located at Hick's Island, Long Island New York, and taken over a lease on a large menhaden fishing plant at Lewes, Delaware. In taking over these northern plants, we have secured several thousand tons off fish scrap in addition to the scrap we have al ready made in North Carolina. The North Carolina plant, Hicks Island plant, and the Lewes, Delaware plant, have handled to September 1st, 1918 over 195,000 barrels offish, with net profits to this Company of over $250,000. W e catch more fish, and a better grade of fish, during the fall fishing in North Carolina, than at any other time of the year. We regard the season as only about one-half over on September 1st. The combined capacity of these plants will permit us to supply the North Carolina farmers with more fish scrap annually than they have ever heretofore had the oppor tunity to secure. Write us how you can secure your fish scrap at wholesale prices. Wilmington, N. C. fast oat meal, coffee, (both without sugar), a salted smoked herring (I think, caught before the war), a slice of tomato and one strip of breakfast bacon. This is not just what a fellow found in the Granville county homes. I am not complain ing, but simply telling of conditions over here. In fact, I am really en joving many things that we consider j hardships back in the States. The greatest hardship I have found so far is not to be able to have a fire. We have to go to bed to get warm. I am greatly enjoying my sweater and woolen socks. G. T. T. Watch the Tongue of Your your loiing in &cs nee Children think Cascarets just dandy, They are safe and mild cathartic candy.' Sell for a dime "work" every time. I The Woman's Land Army. (Christian Science Monitor.) With farmers already bidding for members of the woman's land army next summer, it is evident -that the old order is- changing with a rapidi ty possible only under the lash of ne cessity. It was with doleful prophe cies that women were hired this sea son, but these prophecies have not been fulfilled. Not only have the wo men done their work efficiently and intelligently but their diligence and enthusiasm have acted as a spur to their fellow emplo3rees of the other sex, which -was an unexpected gain. m HOSE MOTHERS! Clean the clogged-up places. Do away with the bile sour fermentations and constipation poison .which is keeping your little one cross, feverish and sick. Children love Cascarets because to them it is like eating candy. Cascarets act better than castor oil, calomel or pills, on the tender stomach, liver and bowels. Cascarets never gripe, never injure, and do not disappoint the worried mother. Give harmless Cascarets to children one year old and upwards. Each ten cent box contains full directions. - A Guaranteed Treatment That Has Stood the Test of Time. Catarrh cures come and catarrh cures go, but Hyomei continues to heal catarrh and abolish its disgust ing symptoms wherever civilization exists. Every year the already enormous sales of this really scientific treat ment for catarrh grow greater, and the present year should show all re cords broken. If you breathe Hyomei daily as di rected it will end your catarrh, or it won't cost you a cent. If you have a hard rubber Hyomei inhaler somewhere around the house get it out and start it at once to for ever rid yourself of catarrh. J. G. Hall, or any other good drug gist will sell you a bottle of Hyomei (liquid), start to breathe it and no tice how quickly it clears out the air passages and makes the entire head feel fine. Hyomei used regularly will end catarrh, coughs, colds, bronchitis or asthma. A complete outfit, includ ing a hard rubber pocket inhaler and bottle of Hyomei, costs but little. No stomach dosing, just breathe it. It kills the germs, soothes and heals the inflamed membrane. Mrs. Willington Koo, wife of the Chinese minister to the United States, died Thursday in Washing ton from pneumonia, which followed an attack of Spanish influenza. She had been ill about a month. Mrs. Koo's body will be sent to China for burial. The Senate passed a war de partment bill authorizing the govern ment to reimburse citizens of France to whom American soldiers who have died were indebted. Action on the measure was speeded up at the ur gent request of General Pershing.
