CONTENTED CANADIANS 
\ Sergeant in Princess Patricia's 
Canadian Regiment writes : — 
At last we are where we wanted 
to be and are contented with our 
httle lot. Christmas Dinner con- 
• sisted of bully beef and biscuits and 
whateverwe could forage. My friend, 
Sergeant , and myself did not 
'lo so badly, as we had 1 carrot, 
i turnip, 2 leeks, 1 onion, OXO, 
and 12 oz. of bully beef, with three 
hard- biscuits, all mixed up and 
boiled in a bully beef tin. It sure 
made a tasty dinner.

Scottish Soldier's cheery letter, 
■ In one billet our mess kitchen 
vas partly blown away with a 
\ 4hell,and the old thatch made a 
• (omfortable shakedown. Seven of 
IS mixed up dinners and messed 
■ .^ut of one tin — potatoes from the . 
. |)it, bully beef, OXO and hard 
ijiscuits — which we enjoyed im- 
mensely."

" Yesterday morning I had 31 patients 
■' — slightly sick, sprained ankles, and 
" Buoh like. I discharged 12 oJ them to 
" duty in the afternoon. At 6 30 I hiid 
to stand ready to get in cases brought 
" down in motor ambulances from a 
" hospital nearer the front. I saw 
' them all in, had hot OXO and bread 
' for them, and went up for my dinner, 
' got back about nine o'clock, and then 
' started to dress the cases needing it 
' moat." 
The reviving, strength - giving 
power of OXO has received re- 
markable endorsement in the great 
war. It is invaluable for all who 
have to undergo exertion, either 
to promote fitness or to recuperate 
after fatigue. 
OXO aids and increases nutri- 
tion; it stimulates and builds up 
strength to resist climatic changes; 
it is exactly suited to the needs 
of our men at the front, and in 
training, as well as for general use 
in the home. 
OXO is made in a moment and, 
with bread or a few biscuits, sus- 
tains for hours. 
A cup of OXO between meals 
is an efficient safeguard against 
Colds and Influenza. 
Large numbers of the OXO staffs have joined His 
Majesty's Forces ; wages at the rate of overX5,ooo 
per annum are being paidto them or their dependents

The two followiiig letters have been 
received by the Editor of Popular 
Science Siftings," 123, Fleet Street, 
London, E.G. 
From the Commander of 
H.M.S. "Viking." 
The ship's company of H.M.S. 
"Viking" are most grateful for the 
gift of OXO sent by "Popular 
Science Siftings." I need hardly 
say that OXO is a most suitable 
gift for the crew of a torpedo boat 
destroyer in Winter. 
From the Captain of 
H.M.S. "Tiger." 
I should like to express to you 
the very grateful thanks of my 
Ship's company for your most 
acceptable gift of OXO, which you 
have so kindly sent for their use. 
Your present, I can assure you, 
will be much appreciated." 
From one of the men of 
H.M.S. " Colossus." 
Having had some OXO sent 
me by my brother, who advised 
me to write for some more, I now 
take the opportunity of writing for 
£1 worth. It is grand for night 
watches, being taken before we go 
on, as it takes such a short time to 
make, and must be taken warm, 
hence the sustaining power we get."
