The Whizz Bang a Soldiers' Paper ee HE WHIZZ-BANG is a small paper, published every now and "then at Leamington, and devoted to war ques- tions. Much of the mat'er, we gather ~from the trenchant style, comes from W. D. Gregory's ready pen, and there is a considerable amount of judiciously selected reprint. Sir Robert Borden's peroration on the Military Service Bill occupies the pride of place on the first page of the most recent issue. There is also 'on page one a paragraph from Dr, Michael Clark's speech, in which he remarked that 'thers is only one al- ternative policy to winning the war and that is winning elections." One particularly bappy quotatiom is from Artemus Ward's . "Deaft in Baldinsville," as follows: "It isn't money we wart. JBut we do want men, and we must have them, "We must carry a whirlwind of fire a.xong the foe. We must crush the ungrateful rebels who are poundin' the Goddess of Liberty over the head with slung shots, and stab- bin® her with stolen knives. _ We are all in the same boat--if the boat goes down, we go down with ber. Hence we must all fight. It ain"t no use to talk now about who caused the war. That's played out. The war is upon us--upon us all-- and we must all fight. We can't 'reason' the matter with the foe only with the steel and lead, When in the broad glare of the noonday sun a speckled jackass boldly and maliciously kicks over a peanut- stand, do we reason with him? I guess not. . We must save the Union. And don't let us wait to be drafted. The Republic is our mother. ¥ For God's sake, don't let us slop to draw lots to see which of us shall go to the rescue of our wounded and bleeding mother. Drive the aseassing from ber throat--drive © them into Ly sea." In sevegal other paragraphs the Whizz-Bang speaks with almost pro- fane emphasis of the politicians who are now engaged in playing their old game instead of banishing from their thoughts every consideration but the winning of the war, The Canadian war ory at the front is reproduced by the Whizz-Bang: *We met 'em on the Meuse, We beat 'em on the Aisne, . We gave 'em hell at Neuve Chapelle And here we are again." A somewhat similar sentiment is expressed in a letter recently sent from the front: "On the Somme we gave 'em break- fast, : At Vimy Ridge a dinner served with guns; We've got a red-hot svpper waiting And hell is yearning for the Huns." 2 And this one refers to the Persh- dng expedition: * + #The Sammies are here and all is ¥ well, | Over the top and give 'em hell" * Under the heading "Help Wanted" note that "One hundred thousand young men are wanted Join a touring phrty, soon leaving Tr Europe.

Select for yourself the article chase. Inquire its price. If quality and price please you, be sure that you get in weight or measure the amount you buy. Watch Watch the measure. You are entitled to all the bone and the trim- mings of the piece of meat that you buy. You should take home and make use of such bone and The fat can be rendered and used for cooking purposes; the bone and trimmings used for soup or stew. When the trimmings are not taken home, the butcher throws them into a bax under the counter and sells them to someone -else. They belong to you and you should have them. In buying meat, don't go in and ask for 25c. worth of meat, and leave the butcher to decide how you desire to pur- 'much meat you should have for a quarter. Select your piece of meat, ask the price per pound; say how many pounds you want; have it weighed ; see that you get your weight and that the buteher's calculation as to how much meat you have, at a cer- tain" price per pound, is correct. Many a penny is lost to the customer by neglecting the above simple precautions. Don't buy in small quantities if you can possibly avoid it. Buy for cash and buy in large quantities foods that are not perishable. Buy where you ean do the best. Wherever possible buy in bulk and not in package. You will find it cheaper to buy your vinegar by the gallon than by the bottle. Have you ever stopped to figure out how much more you would get for your money if you bought i Grant That You May Be Worthy certain articles of food by the pound instead of by the package? Food that is wrapped and sold in attractive-look- ing packages must of necessity cost more than the same food sold in bulk, which means sold by the pound. There are several reasons why so many foods are put up in packages. First. The package looks pretty, appeals to the eye, and makes the food seem more appetizing Second. Most of the packages are air-tight and dustproof, and for sanitary reasons a great many people prefer food that is done up in packages. As a matter of fact, it is possible for your grocer to keep on hand, in bulk, exactly the same foods as the packages contain, and. it is also possible for him to keep them in bulk in sanitary, dustproof con- tainers, so that the foods should be clean when they get to you. of His Sacrifice Live Up To Your Food Service Pledge HUMANITARIAN WORK AMONG BELGIANS ~ In a measure the food problem of has i H than 15,000 children are waiting in Belgium for their turn to go to Hol- land and the number increases weekly because of the German de- portations of parents.
