One eof the great secrets of Lon- don's defences against air raids is now rev That was the great screen of nets which were suspended in certain directions to keep off the' raiders. These were not nets in the ordinary sense.

Sir Douglas Haig has shared so far as possible the discomforts and dan- gers of his officers and men; ind d, more than once in France and Flan- ders he has had narrow escapes from death. He had only been "out there" some two menths when he made a tour of the lines on the Menin road while they were being heavily shelled. "Dug- gie" displayed the coolness which characterizes all his movements, and the effect was notable, for the troops, falling back under an overwhelming attack, rallied at once and drove the enemy back. Not long afterwards Sir Douglas was actually stunned by a shell which killed some of his staff, but he "car- ried on" despite his shaking. These instances are not the only cases in which the Corps or Army Commander was in danger from the enemy's shells. ---- Mipard's Liniment Cures Diphtheria When the Floor Cracks. The thin hardwood floor laid on common flcoring over a cellar fre- quently cups or opens at the joints. That is due to the mcisture in the air in the cellar. To prevent this, cover the entire sub-floor with a heavy building paper before the finished | | flooring is applied. This will reduce the possibility of the wood's swelling to a minimum. There is often an unsightly open- ing in a beautiful hardwood floor. You do not know the cause of the crack. Sometimes it will close tight in the summer and open wide in the winter. That is caused by the wood's swelling in the warm season and dry- ing in the winter when the room will have uniform heat. In most cases, if the common flooring had been cov- ered with heavy building paper, the crack would not have occurred.
