NOTICE.
Xmas Cards.
That a young man should have suffered from cancer is remarkable. There has been no similar case in the hospital's records for a quarter
of a century.
Mr. Baker was the son of the late Mr. Valentine Hyde Baker, who lived at Parkstone. The late Mr. Valetine Baker was of independent means, and, it is understood, re- ceived an income from a large es- tate in Western Canada.

Mr. F. R. B. Lansdown, a friend of Mr. Hugh Baker's father, told a Press representative that the sou was at Parkstone for his father's funeral. "I know he had some kind of complain,” Mr. Lansdowne Standard Type of Blanco, said, which worried him a bit, The standard type of blanco is on and he was also much upset over sale in the Canteen.
