Bays:—"l have weaned my. little girl, and she is thriving wonderfully. My only wish is that I had known about Wilson's Malt Extract when I was nursing my first." "Mrs. S." knows, you Bee, that that round-faced, crowing little girl of hers would have been fretful and hollow-cheeked, like her first baby, if she had not given her Wilson's Malt Extract. Those with large experience in nursing know that Wilson's' Malt Extract acts as a real food, and as an aid to the digestion of all other foods. It is providential that Wilson's Malt Extract is an economical food, for oven if dear, doctors would still recom. mend it. Chemists, stores.—Advt.

Fanning, who has been in Scotland for a rest, has been appointed sub-matron at Hornchurch Convalescent Camp since her return.; also that Mrs. and Miss Beaumont have been visiting tho N.Z.F.A. quarters, where Sergeant Beaumont is stationed. Tho same writer also states that in Hornchurch Hospital the men from the Dominion are very good at entertainments, and do not rely on imported (in this case the word only means from outside tho hospital) talent. Private Williamson wields the scenic artist's brush, and among the artists were Lieutenant R. L. B. Fordham, Corporal Aldrich, and Privates ICavanagh and Laurenson, the two last-named being a particularly good pair, whether on the platform in the limelight or in tho hard work behind the scenes. Their fame has spread, and the hospital-inonbatcd revue had a "season" of two days at Romford last week.
