U. de Pencier was the guest of the Women's Canadian club at a meeting held yesterday afternoon at the Hotel Vancouver, at which Miss Fagan, one of the vice-presidents, presided. The bishop's address was made up of reminiscences of a rather fragmentary, but exceptionally interesting nature. His stories illustrated the life of the boys in the trenches, at the base and in hospitals. He paid a high tribute to the Canadian nurses.

During his stay in France he had seen their work at many different bases and he could find no words to express his admiration and pride in these noble women. Frequently one would see a nurse who had been on duty for fifteen or sixteen hours fall over from exhaustion, having refused to leave post while needed. One lad to whom he had spoken after the battle the Somme had remarked that being in his comfortable hospital cot was like a removal from Hell to Heaven and he completed the figure by describing the sisters as the angels. He felt, he said, that a tribute was due the other women of the Empire as well as the nurses. In the face of many difficulties the women at home had done wonderful things; and he often blessed God and thanked Him for the women of the empire, he said.

His description of his first experience with a woman porter was ainusing. Having attracted his attention with the customary "Take your bag, sir," she proceeded to place it on her truck and escorted him out to his taxi, tipped her cap while he handed out the usual tip He spoke briefly of the work being done by the girls driving motor ambulances and of the great respect felt for them by the soldiers. He had been glad, he said, to pay a visit to the Vancouver Red Cross. for he had seen the goods at the other end of their journey many times and it was interesting to him to see them at this end. "I do not know what we would do without the Red Cross, he said, "not only for the necessities, but for comforts as well." The unselfish spirit of their officers and men was shown, he thought, by their Christmas treats, given to the children in the French villages.

All down the line, officers and men prepared for a huge treat and children and their mothers in the tiny French villages were gathered together and given a real Christmas entertainment. one occasion which he would always remember, he said, was the Sunday had spent with the Canadians before the battle at Vimy Ridge. Going in through the trenches that afternoon he had met the men coming out and had had the pleasure of shaking hands with many of them. In this connection he spoke of the high character of the commander of the Canadian forces, Sir Julian Byng. He is a Christian man of noble character, and an efficient soldier, he said.

"I never begin an attack or plan an engagement for my men without praying over it and asking God's blessing," was the message given to him by Sir Julian. On one occasion, when he was invited to dinner with Sir Julian and staff at headquarters he had a humorous experience. Before the hour he had a service to hold and having just come in from the trenches he found that he had only twenty minutes in which to remove the mud. "I never worked harder in my life than I did in those. twenty minutes," he said, "trying ge tthe accumulation of mud off my hands and face." Speaking of the mud, he gave the ladies some idea of the Flanders mud by telling them that an overcoat caked with it would weigh 70 pounds.

His description of his journey from England to Canada on his recent trip was amusing; 1600 Canadians crossed with him, 1036 of this number being women and children. They were notified by telegraph to report at. the London station. Many of them prepared tor a journey to Liverpool, but they were taken instead to a Scottish town, only to find that on account of the wind it was impossible to get out to their ship that night. Then came another train ride to Glasgow, where they spent the night.

Accommodation could not be found for all, and 300 of the women spent the night rolled in blankets at the town hall. The next day they returned to the seaport town and were taken on board the ship, where they remained a Unusual Biscuit Unusually crisp and tender, they melt in the mouth.

Those who were inclined to scold realized the wisdom of the admiralty's orders when they saw a torpedoed steamer limping by. Shortly before their ship sailed Hon. A. J. Balfour and his party came aboard.

The trip over was not uninteresting. the The Red amusements Cross and a included baby concerts show for which prizes were given.

Beith, M.C., May Address Canadian Club Here Nearly everyone has either heard Captain Ian Hay Beith, author of "The First Hundred Thousand" and "Getting Together," or has heard of him: a great many people know that he was decorated with the military cross, but owing to the captain's silence on his own deeds, few of the many friends he has made in this country know the occasion of the honor. It was at the battle of Loos in September, 1915, that Captain Beith's regiment, the Tenth Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders, were holding under terrific shell fire, a hard position on the third line of German trenches.

All but four of the officers had been killed or wounded, and finally, when the enemy had surrounded the gallant little company on three sides, the order was given to fall back. Captain Beith with four of his men, was left to man a machine gun to cover the retirement of the regiment. One by one the men with Captain Beith fell under fire, and finally, the captain was left alone. It almost absolutely necessary for two or more men to operate a machine gun, but Captain Beith stuck at it alone. Then, before his ammunition was exhausted the gun jammed and became useless.

Nothing remained, therefore, for him to do but retire, and under heavy fire, rejoined his troops. Some few weeks later, to his great surprise, Captain Beith received his decoration. Captain Beith, who is now touring the United States, has been extended an invitation to address the Canadian club in city, and if the gallant officer is thite to accept he will probably unfold one of the most thrilling of many narratives of the early stages of the great war. Last vear he addressed the Montreal and Toronto Canadian clubs and made a wonderful impression. Would Be Boon For Bathers.

Adventures of Uncle 3 By Howard R. In Aid of Prisoners. there was a little girl who was very fond of candy, so exceedingly so that she ate all her own and as much other as she could, sometimes taking her brother's or sister's. "And what do you think happened to her?" asked Uncle Wiggily of Jollie and Jillie, speaking in loud tones so Squeaky-Eeky could hear him. "What did?" asked Jollie, eager like.

"She was turned into a candy lollypop!" answered the bunny uncle, "and any of you mouse children- you, Jillie, or you, Jollie, or even SqueakyEeky, eat too much candy or chocolate or anything like that you may turn into a candy or chocolate mouse," and as he said that the rabbit gentleman took from his pocket a little candy chocolate mouse, which he bought in the one and two-cent store. So you see now I have told you, as I promised I would. "Oh, look!" suddenly exclaimed Jillie. as she saw the candy mouse. "Where did that come from "Maybe that's Squeaky- Eeky, who has been turned into that because she eats 80 much chocolate," said Mrs.

Longtail, and she sort of blinked her eyes sideways at Uncle Wiggily. "Oh, the idea! I'm not a chocolate mouse at all!" cried Squeaky- Eeky, running in from the kitchen, and her little nose and whiskers were all cOVered with chocolate dust, where she had been sniffing around cupboard, "Here I am!" said the little cousin mouse. "I'm not candy!" Uncle Wiggily made believe not to see her. He put h's paw on the chocolate candy mouse (with a piece of shoestring for a tail) which he had bought in the one and two cent store, and he said: "Poor Squeaky-Eeky! To think she should be turned into a candy mouse for eating too much chocolate." "But I'm not! I'm not!" cried the little cousin mouse. "I'm here myself! See, there's only 8 little choeolate on my whiskers," and she brushed that off with her tail.

I'll never Cat too much chocolate any sho sobbed, "and I'm sorry I nibbled your Easter egg, Jillie." "All right, then we'll forgive you, and I guess this isn't you after all." said Uncle Wiggily, as he put the chocolate mouse back in his pocket. And after that Squeaky- Eeky only ate what was given her. Uncle Wiggily had cured her. And if the cornstarch pudding doesn't try to slide the bread board with the napkin ring. and tumble into the sugar bowl, 1'11 tell you next about Uncle Wiggily and Neddie's hoop.

UNCLE WIGGILY AND THE CHOC- He told how, once upon a time, OLATE MOUSE. (Copyright, 1917, by McClure News- paper Syndicate.) Unclie Wiggily Longears, the nice rabbit gentleman, was just finishing breakfast in the hollow stump bungalow one morning when there came a little tapping sound on his door. "I'll see who it is." said Nurse Jane Fuzzy Wuzzy, the muskrat lady housekeeper, and she let in Mrs. Jillie, the they another mice. Longtail, of Jollie and "Oh, Uncle Wiggily!" cried Mrs.

Longtail. "I'm in such trouble! wonder if you could not help me." 'Of course I can!" cried Uncle Wiggily in his most jolly voice as he drank the last of his vellow carrot coffee. "What is it now?" "Well, you know queaky- Ecky, the little cousin mouse, who lives with us. don't you asked Mrs. Longtail.

"Oh. yes, I know her very well." said the bunny uncle. "What is the matter with her?" of late she has taken to cating chocolate," said Mrs. Longtail. "I can't keep a bit of chocolate, either.

cake or candy, in the house but what Squeaky-Eeky finds it and nibbles at it. And sometimes she eats it when I don't want her to. It isn't good for her nor good for the chocolate, especially when I am saving some for a cake or "And what do you want me to do?" asked Uncle Wiggily. "See if you can't cure the little cousin mouse from eating SO much chocolate." answered Mrs. Longtail.

"Could you teach her a lesson, do you think?" "I'll try," said Uncle Wiggily, "I'll stop at your house some time today when I'm out for a walk looking for an adventure, and see what I can do." "Thank you," said Mrs. Longtail, and then sho hurried back to her home while Uncle Wiggily began to think of how he could cure Squeaky-Eeky of eating so much chocolate. All of a bunny uncle rabbit cried: "Ha! I think I have it! That's what I'll do," and then, taking his red, white and blue striped rheumatism crutch, which Nurse had gnawed for him out of a cornstalk, away he hopped. After a while Uncle Wiggily stopped in the one and two cent store and bought something. What it was I'm not allowed to tell you just yet, but I will before the end of this story.

Then the bunny uncle hopped on to the mouse house. As he was about to knock on the door, heard, inside, a sad little voice saying: "Oh dear! Somebody has been eating it! Look what's happened. Who did this to that?" "Who did which to what?" asked Uncle Wiggly as he went inside, when Jollie Longtail, the mouse boy, opened the a door for Him. "Who made those bites in my choeolate Easter egg?" asked Jillie, the mousie girl. See! I had a lovely chocolate egg, that I got in my Easter basket," she went on.

was saving it as long as I could, but now some one has eaten part of it." "It must have been Squeaky-Eeky," said Mrs. Longtail. "I declare: I don't know what I am going to do about that cousin mouse. She's been at something chocolate again." "Well, have to cure her," said Uncle Wiggily. "Where is she now?" "She's out in the kitchen, looking in the cupboard for more chocolate," answered the mouse lady.

'She doesn't know you're here, Quiet! Not another word!" whispered Uncle Wiggily, putting one paw over his pink twinkling nose. "We'll play a little trick on SqueakyEeky. Now listen to what I say." Then Uncle Wiggily stood behind the kitchen dining-room door, and began to tell a little fairy story to Jollie and Jillie. Gondor LIMITED Store Opens at 8:30 a.m. and Closes at 6 p.m.

A clean, healthy scalp free from dandruff, itching and oil is a most agreeable and pleasant sensation, and is one that you may enjoy with very little trouble or labor.

Nature intended this scalp and hair to be healthy. Just as soft, fluffy and thick in old age as in youth. She placed this hair on the top of yeur head for protection to the most important part of you, the brain, and you need protection there as long as you live. The scalp should be treated to a reul good treatment once a week by a professional, one who is capable of detecting the slightest departure from the normal and is able to give the proper massage. A good tonic (not like the average tonic on the market), but one that will actually rejuvenate the little cells, should be used.

The most important problem of life is nutrition, and as the hair is living tissue 1t IS essential that it gets nutrition sufficient to sustain life and promote the growth. Exercise the second essential of life, we should exercise the scalp by massaging the same and hair by brushing. You should take your hair down before retiring and brush the same carefully and allow it to remain down during the night so as to give it a chance to rest. The scalp should be massaged with the cushions of the fingers every time you comb the hair. Remember, that the hair grows from the root end like a plant in the ground.

You know how important it is to hoe the roots of the plant. Besides, the subcutaneous connective tissue, the third skin covering the head and laying next and emerging into the periosteum which lies nest to the bone has the nature of muscle and can be developed and made into a little cushion by the proper massage or exercise. This increases the ability of the third skin to store away a larger supply of building material to be used for the life of the hair during sickness or old age. It the scalp is too oily, too dry, or is covered with dandruff, it is sick and will not recover without some assistance. Most of this is brought about by carelessness or by the lack of knowledge of the hair and scalp.

You can have a healthy head of hair by giving it plenty of sunshine, and allowing it to rest a few hours out of every twenty-four, brushing it carefully and by giving it the proper by massaging scalp every time you comb the hair. 10 your body is not healthy it will be necessary to use a tonic daily and EL few electrical massages, either high frequency or sinustatic. Vibatory will not be enough. Don't get discouraged because you don't get results in a few days. Be persistent.

Success will crown your efforts if you stay with it long enough. Death of Mrs. M. C. Copeland.
