BOVRIL

and the War

Those who have given up Bovril in order that the fighting men should have it can now obtain their share.

During the War Bouril was so indis- pensable to the soldiers, wounded, and the people in the United Kingdom that it had to be retained in the British Isles where it is made, or sent m" the fighting fronts.

Fresh supplies of Bovril haro now reached this country and no one need be any longer deprived of the wonderful body-building powers of this unique food. -

A little Sal Hepatica In water, taken regularly, is a great help toward keeping fit in the Trop- Ice.

Unlike many laxatives; SAL HEPATICA does not cause nausea or griping... Sal Hepatica is. a mild but effective preparation of harm- less salts that acts gently on the liver and intestines.

It helps the body to get rid of waste and poisons, and is known and used all over the world as a standard specific for biliousness and bowel complaints."

BRITISH MERCHANT SEAMEN. PROPOSED "AMERICAN TRIBUTE.

A munificent proposal to raise the sum of ten millions as America's tribute to British Merchant Seamen, which urigi nates with Mr. William H. Appleton, in: American gentleman of Yorkshire parent. age, hae drawn the following message from President Wilson:

"I am very glad indeed to have an pportunity to add my voice to the American tribute to the British Mer- chant seamen along with our own gal- fant seamen. They have rendered a service to humanity in the great war which has just ended, which enrolls) them among the true servants of free- dom and civilisation. I sure that I am speaking, when I say this, for the people of the United states, and particularly for the American seamen who have taken a like "part in the great enterprise of liberty,"

Admiral Lord Beresford wrote to Mr. Appleton in appreciation and gratitude for the spontaneous offer, adding: "At the beginning of the war the officers and seamen went to men, unarmed and not escorted to almost certain death. 17.000 gave up their lives to maintain a food supply and transport. 20,000 "more are incapacitated. We nearly lost the war in 1917, and must have done so without the pluck, grit. endurance, and courage of) the British Mercantile Marine."

It is, of course, a gigantic task which Mr. Appleton has set himself, but he in confident of success, and, as he pointed out at a luncheon which be gaya at Claridge's Hotel, he has already created a big organisation for the purpose at 665, Fifth-avenue New York, from which to appeal to the 120,000,000 of our American Allies. Meanwhile, he is setting himself while in England to get in touch with the forty to fifty thousand Americans in Great Britain. Mr. Appleton was anxi- ous to make it plain" that his scheme 'is not to be considered aș charity. It is America's tribute to daty nobly and xilently, done without the expectation of reward. Only Americans are to be asked to subscribe. For the purpose of endow ing the homes of these 30,000 British heroes at 22 a head, £60,000 'n week will be required, or £3,000,000 a year, which meant that £60,000,000 would have to be put up at 5 per cent. One-sixth of sixty millions is ten millions, and that is what he is asking for. The money is to be in- vested in American securities, and the FRENCH LESSONS securities handed over to British trusted, Mr. Havelock Wilson, of the Seamen and Firemen's Union, expressed bin gratitude for the spleedid proposal and felt sure that it would help to cement the friendship between the two great English- speaking races.

Bir Edward Nicholl, M.P., president of the Merchant Seamen's League, also spoke in cordial and grateful terms of the proposal **
