In one | trench reserved for staff officers a ' bench was dug out all around and two tables were left when the trench was dug. This place is the location of the Troglodytes Club. The club has a set of rules which probably afforded more amusement when they were drawn up to the music cf bursting sheila than when read in cold blootl in a quiet home. Here are the regulations : 1. â€" Members of the club are offi- cers who wish shelter from the rain or storms (including shells).. 2.â€" Entry to the club is forbidden (a) to all who do not belong to the French army ; (b) to German pro- jectiles. 3.â€" Games of chance (bullets, shells, shrapnel) are rigorously for- bidden in the club's premises. They are only allowed outside, and pre- ferably "outside, the artillery park iltogether. 4.â€" Owing to special circum- stances exception is made for the . . game of battle (tlie French name for A neutral naval officer, writing the card game begcar-my-neigihbor). in the New York Times, says that Bridge is also authorized, provided!

Anyone svoulti marvel at my recov- ery, writes Mr. Leonard Lotbam, a youug man well known about Chat- ham.

Every soldier realizes the marvel- ous tactical improvement of their troops jince the Mainchurian cam- paign. This, with their devoted courage and numbers, must make them irresistible. Ail war students realize the bet- termsnt of the French army since 1870.

I hope every person with pains, with sore back, with lameness, with lumbago, with neuralgia â€" I do, hope they will try out Nerviline which I am convinced will quickly and per- '• manently cure them." I If Nerviline wasn't a wonderful painless remedy, if Nerviline didn't quickly relieve, if Nerviline wasn't kaow^n to be a grand cure for all rheu- matic conditions, it wouldn't have been so largely used as a family rem- edy for the past forty years.
