Kenneth Glen was a ���������������������������member of the first contingent going to France from the Okanagan. Me experienced some of thc severest engagements on the Western front of the war, and was twice buried in the trench hy enemy shells. The last time, in addition to shell shock he was wounded by shrapnel, and was confined to the hospital seven months, coming out with a still' knee. After 1!) months in thc trenches, and undergoing shell shock and shrapnel wounds, he thought he had done his bit in this branch of the service, so applied for service in the Flying Corps. He succeeded in passing the severest examinations and entered training school. Late reports state that hc has gone through all the schools and has noxv been sent to one of the channel bases for scout duty.

They hate to hear the talk of peace, yet can offer nothing to combat it. It seems to be recognized by all that in the end, whenever that may bc, peace can only come by and through the belligerent powers getting together on some basis which would mean justice for all. Tt is not easy to find this possible, particularly with the war party in all states in control and the law of might the only law they will recognize as right, ancl the people powerless to turn from war to peace. in Ihis connection a Washington dispatch says that President Wilson's reply to the Pope's peace offer may all'ord an actual working basis for hastening thc end of lhc war. Germany and Austria, it adds, already have moved in this direction. Thc belief grows that tlie President, in courteously declining the Holy See's suggestion of a basis of peace negotiations, will offer a constructive policy \"in which thc liberals of thc world may find real encouragement.\" MEDICINAL VALUE OF VEGETABLES THE ENDERBY PRESS AND WALKER'S WEEKLY II.

The object of the course is to create an active interest in agriculture and to instill a practical knowledge of farm work in the minds of the boys and girls which wi'- be of service to them in helping to solve the problem of how best lo conserve and direct thc work of thc young people on thc farm. Modern education is running morc to practical study lhan lo study of theories. The agricultural course is optional on the part of thc pupils���������������������������the may take it or not as they wish. What will be taught will bc by experimentation and demonstration. Garden plots are lo be prepared and here thc hoys and girls will plant and seed, hoe and rake, and do what Authorities who know tell us that if people knew the medicinal value of vegetables and would follow thc advice of reason in making use of the proper combinations, there would be very little sickness in thc world. It is the common belief that sickness is natural, and the family physician is in many localities looked upon as something quite as necessary as socially proper. Very few people realize that vthey poison their bodies, cither by eating the wrong combinations of food, or eating too much. More people die from overeating than from under eating or fromwhat our prohibition friends call the curse of civilization��������������������������� strong drink. It is therefore important, in the interest of health, to know what to eat and what not to cat in combination. And to remember the medicinal value of vegetables when wc eat them. Turnips, onions, cabbage, cauliflower, water cress and horseradish contain sulphur. Potato, salts of potash. French beans and lentils give iron. Water cress, oil, iodine, iron, phosphate and other salts. Spinach, salts of potassium and iron. Food specialists rate this thc most precious of vegetables. Cabbage, cauliflower and spinach arc beneficial lo aencmic people. Tomatoes stimulate the healthy action of the liver. Asparagus benefits the kidneys. Celery for rheumatism and neurlagia. It is claimed the carrot forms blood and beautifies the skin. Beets and turnips purify thc blood and improve the appetite. Lettuce I'or tired nerves. Parsley, mustard, cowslip, horseradish, dock, dandelion, and beet tops clear thc blood, regulate lhc system and remove that tired feeling so peculiar to spring.

Many readers of the Press will be glad to hear from Pte. Gerald Neve, wdio was one of the first to join the.colors when, war was declared. Ptc. Neve is an old soldier. Hc was in the South African war,'and has tasted hardships. In thc present war he _ was'in thc Somme fighting, ancl was there buried, by shell explosion and was sent to England lo recover from shell shock. He is again in France and writes under date of July 28th: , V \"I have been out here about a month. Just recently I received three issues of your paper, and in the June 28th issue you referred to Maurice Salt. May I add my testimony to that.of tlie others. This war seems to make and unmake men.

THE WALKER PRESS Renew for The Press, $2 per year THE ENDERBY PRESS AND WALKER'S WEEKLY Thursday, August 23,191' LETTERS OF THANKS MAGIC BAKING POWDER CONTAINS NO ALUM MADE IN CANADA The Prohibition Act Now that prohibition has become the law of the province, there is a good deal of enquiry going today as to exact scope of the British Columbia law which is to come into effect on October 1. In the year which elapsed since the prohibition party flooded the country -with literature, and its speakers exponnded the bill from platform and pulpit, a good many people have forgotten the salient points of the new bill. The bill is : the same bill- without a single material alteration\" except as to the date when it- is to become law���������������������������as that which was passed by the Legislature \"ofy 1916. and sent on to be decided by referendum of the people, As re-enacted it provides that after the 1st of October there shall be no liquor sold for consumption within the Province of British Columbia except through government vendors, who are to be paid by salary, and who can only sell to certain limited classes of persons under rigid restrictions. The government vendors, under pain of dismissal and conviction, are forbidden to sell liquor for a beverage. They can only sell alcohol for mechanical and scientific purposes, alcoholic liquors in limited quantities Xo druggists, dentists physicians, yveterinaries, superintendents for medical purposes, and toy * ministers'- of- the gospel for sacramental purposes. Five gallons is the limit which a druggist may purchase at any time, two quarts the limit for a physician, one pint the limit for a dentist, and one gallon the limit for a veterinary surgeon. Provision is made that any person may procure liquor for medicinal purposes, but it must be on a physician's prescription, and only one purchase can be made on one prescription. Outside of these classes and conditions the Pte. Harry Bogert writes The Press from France asking space to ; enable him lo thank \"Ihe good peo-j ! pic of Enderby who helped to or-' Iganize and keep alive the Trench] j Comfort Club.

A drunk man staggered into a church one Sunday and sat down in the pew of one of the deacons. The preacher was discoursing about prevalent popular vices.

In a fable the Magic Skin gave its wearer the power to get anything hc wanted, but every time he granted his wishes the skin shrank and compressed him into small dimensions until, by and by with the last wish, life was crushed out. The Magic Skin is selfishness. It is a great thing to harn to say \"No\" to oneself, instead of indulging every whim ancl wish, even though there be nothing- sinful in it. There was no necessary wrong to Moses inheritating the royal treasures and enjoying the pleasures of Egypt, so far as they were not in themselves sinful; but Moses had a high vocation, and these would have been hindrances, so he renounced them.
