When the war broke out Marcel was a striplin<!, slender as a girl, with beardless face, eye.s large and black, and hands white a.s a woman's. At Verdun one day he gladly faced almost certain death. He emerged with a body like a sieve, a leg broken above the knee and a shattered hand. A few hours before the French evacu- ated one of the hills in front of VerduB, the commandant of a battalion picked the young man for a dangerous mission. The French planned to steal away from the hill silently during the night. Marcel was to stay behind, conceal himself and i |^)i take sp, cial note of 'ne emplacement of i"* artillery when the Germans arrived.

Keep hens this year EGG anii poultry prices, the like of wliich have seldom or never been experienced, certainly make it worlli V-- anyone's while to start koepina; hc;is. By doing so you have fresh eggs at the most trifling cost. At the same time yi'u have the splendid s;itisfaclion of knowing that you arc doing something towards helping Britain, C-unada and the Allies achieve victory this year. Increased production of f.md hcl;K i-.ot only to lower the hi^h cost of living, but it hcl[)s to increase the urgently needed suri'ly of Canada's food for export. It saves money otherwi:iC spent for egss and poultry at high price-:, and siives the Uibor of others whose effort is needed for more vital war work. The Ontario Department of .\griciiUurc will give every possible assistance by afTording information .^lxnlt poultry keeping. Write for free bulletin which tells how to keep hens (adtlress below"). "A vegetable garden for every home" Nothing should be overlooked in this vital year of the war. The Department earnestly invites everyone to help increase production by growing vegetables. Kveii the smallest plot of ground, when properly cultivated, pro- duces a surprising amoimt of vegetables. E.xperience is not essential. 0« request the Department of Agriculture will send valuable literature, free of charge, giving complete direc- tions for preparing soil, planting, cidtivatiou, etc. A. plan of a vegetable garden, indicating suitable crop to grow, best varieties and their arrangement in the garden, will be sent free to any address.
