But these "souvenirs," says The New Battlefield i " and "porridge pots." ' "Woolly Marias" are shells that burst *' nauseate me. in puffs of white, woolly smoke. "Baby" and "mother" are types of British guns. Bullets are "haricot beans.". The emergency ration is known as the "imaginary ration," and barbed-wire = entanglements are "fly > traps" and "spiders' webs." A battle is a "show," and an important battle is a "picture show." To be captured is to be "scuttled," 'to be wounded is to be "washed out," and to be killed is to be "put in a bag." THe German soldiers call bomb- dropping from an aeroplane "laying eggs." The pilot of the plane is al- ways called "Emil" or Heinrich," and the observer From the ob- server's nickname the soldiers have coined the verb "franzen," to make a military observation, and another, "yerfranzen," to observe mistakenly or carelessly. The enemy's projectiles they call "woolly bears," or "Rowdy Henrys," or. "trailer' wagons"; and if they are shrapnel, they are kriown as "sprinkling cans." \ mere ns NO "FRILLS" Just a Statement About Food. Sometimes a good, healthy commer- cial traveller suffers from poorly se- lected food and is lucky if he learns that Grape-Nuts food will put him right. : ' A travelling man writes: "About a year ago my stomach got in a bad way.

I passed deserted houses, and when I asked what had become of the people, I heard but the one answer, 'Died out.' Miles and miles of rich land lie absolutely waste, covered + | with weeds and thistles. . The great plum orchards of the district were bearing fruit at the time of my visit, but there was no one to pick and dry it. Formerly the farmers used to dis- til plum brandy on their premises, but all of the copper stills were taken away by the invaders. There was no labor and no. means of transporta- tion. "In another village I stood on the ruins of a farmhouse in which 109 persons had been burned alive. Their bones were collected and buried in a hillside nearby: In one pit the bodies of 90 civilians had been thrown and buried." ees ieee A WONDERFUL MEDICINE FOR CHILDREN Mrs, Geo. Huffman, Willington, Ont., writes;--*"I have used Baby's Own Tablets and can recommend them as a wonderful medicine for children { I am the mother of five and have used no other medicine for any of them." Thousands of other mothers say the same thing of the Tablets. That is why once a mother has used them for her little ones she would use nothing else.

That is the statement made by Miss Gertie M. Newman, an estimable young lady living here. She is so overjoyed at her recovery that she wants all suffering women to know how she found her cure. "I had a cold to start with," Miss Newman continues, "and then things just seemed to go from bad to worse. My back ached, I had cramps in my muscles, and I suffered from head- aches. My sleep was broken and un- refreshing, my eyes were puffed and swollen and I perspired freely with the least exertion.

Despite the assertions made in the Reichstag that food is ample and star- vation in Germany is impossible, the .| Berliner Zeitung says: "It is difficult to imagine that things could grow worse just now without some crown- ing disaster. The masses of the peo- ple are hungry all day long, many articles of food having reached a price wholly beyond the reach of the families of the working class.
