A Few of the Many New Terms Add- ed to Our Language. It is obviously impossible in limited | 'space to mention more na few of the more striking words which the war has given us, says an English writer. Let me begin with one in 'very common use, "camouflage." cannot remember any instance of a foreign word so peculiarly un-English as this not only being so rapidly and universally adopted but also being so rarely mispronounced. I still often overhear knots of men who in their talk about the war refer to the Kay- ser, and the utter anglicization of ¥rench battle names by public house -- atley Adds Richness to wheat and lends to its flavor, when combinedin the sturdy cereal No prepared cere rape-Nu , S rouridhiie nt, digestibility . "There's a Reason military experts is perhaps the most charming feature of their discussions; but "camouflage" remains as French in sound in this country as in its own, and every one uses it. Here, how- ever, it has become\so elastic as to be the recognized term for any kind of pretence whatsoever. Another French word which also gets its full value in the Anglo-Saxon mouth is "barrage"; but "barrage" s no general usage word "raid" is as old as the Scottish border, ut will never again be employed, I imagine, except in-gssociation with attacks by air. At first we always said "air raid," but. now "raid" alone is sufficient. Should the enemy find any. other way of hitting at the heart of us there will be another word es "raid" to describe his efforts. And these I would add that early flower be Armageddon speech, "moratorium," which for a while most of us took to be the name of a new liner. Perhaps the most notable slang phase that the war has produced is 'to get the wind up," meaning to up- set, or "rattle," or put the fear of God into. But I speak only from the point of the homekeeping observer, aware merely of such expressions as get into London parlance. Soldiers on active service no doubt could supply columns new terms, ----_4-----_---- THE ROYAL SILVER WEDDING. King George and Queen Mary Will Celebrate 25 Years of Married Life. The ninth year of King George's reign, which has just opened, will be marked by an event that has not oc- curred for well over ajcentury--the celebration by a British monarch and his consort of their silver wedding while still on the throne, says a Lon- don despatch. The anniversary falls in the middle of July, and although the war will necessarily interfere with the commemoration of the day, ar- rangements already are in progress o mark the completion Val the quar- ter century of marri The City of London, for cata, is raising funds which will be placed at their' majesties' disposal for distri- bution among various war charities, and many other communities will fol-| ang l6w this example. will mostly probable that the Queen's bridesmaids will be permitted to give a personal gift. When King Edward and Queen Alexandra . celebrated their silver wedding, the latter's attendants pre- sented their autographs, bound in a silver book, enshrined in a silver cas- ket of Danish work. As was the case then, Queen Mary's bridesmaids are all alive to-day, though not all in England, They | number ten--the Queen of Norway, the Queen of Spain, the Crown Prin- cess of Sweden, Princess Victoria, three daughters of the Duke of Edin- burgh, Princess Patricia, Princess Helena and Lady Louisa Mountbatten. | HUN BRUTALITY TO PRISONERS. German Gloats Over Shooting of Wounded British Captives. Another account of German barbar- ity to prisoners comes from Switzer- land. A neutral, formerly living in erlin, met a sergeant in the German army who had seemed humane in the old days when he was a music teach- er, but now gloated over the manher in which he and his companions had marched a large detachment of Brit- ish wounded through Germany. The eaptors were mounted, the prisoners afoot, trudging 25 to 30 miles a day. "When they lagged," the sergeant said, "'we drew our revolvers and shot them down. Out of 900 only 170 ar- rived at our destination. That is war. Our German principle is to get peace quickly, and we must wage war ruth- lessly. Those are our orders." ------___4--______ Not His Turn. The Scottish character is a com- pound of vices and virtues in which "thrawnness" (Angiice "obstinacy") and modesty are strongly represented, The other day an officer was bidding good-bye to one of his men who' had been awarded the D.C.M., and ~ who had, in consequence, been granted ten days' leave. "Well, corporal," said the officer, "it's h proud mother that'll be waiting to greet you when you get home this time." "What'll she be proud for?" queri- ed the corporal, with a puzzled ex- pression. "Of your medal, of course," was the answer. "But I don't think she knows. got it, sir," said the corporal. "What! Haven't you told her?" "Well, no, sir.

Spurgeon's keen wit was always based on sterling common sense. 'One day he said to one of his sons: "Can you tell me the reason why the lions didn't eat Daniel?" "No, sir. Why was it?" "Because the most of him was backbone and the rest was grit." Increased Garden Acreage. Mr. F.

H your druggist hasn't stocked this new drug yet, tell him to get a small bottle of freezone for you from his wholesale drug house. Slacker Lands in Wartime. The great menace of fire unques- tionably is to the future of our timber supply. In the piney woods, particu- larly, repeated fires are fatal to the establishment of reproduction; while in the hardwoads the trees, though not always killed, are stunted and de- formed and laid open to fungus and insect_ attack. As young growth sel- dom has an immediate commercial value, its loss is usually ignored--the fact that a crop has been destroyed, being overlooked. The loss in such a case is as real as if merchantable tim- ber were destroyed--the destruction of a ten-year-old stand postponing ufder present conditions, the date of a possible harvest from fifteen to twenty years, if not indefinitely. At the same time, the land burned over has, to all intents and purposes, been rendered unproductive for a corre- sponding period. Herein lies the im- portance of fire protection from an economic standpoint, for no potential- ly productive land should be allowed to lie idle. The community has a right to and will, sooner or later, de mand that it be producing something.
