For a considerable distance these boys cantered along over the sands without encountering an enemy. Then they came upon a battery of guns and found themselves being fired at point: blank by 3-inch pieces. The infantry was in a tight place and needed assist- ance badly. It got it from the cavalry which came pounding up in columns of | fours, and whose leader, sizing up the! situation, sent it swerving in on either | side of the battery.

When the blood is thin they lack nourishment, and the result is a sen- sation of pain in those muscles. Some people think pain in the back means kidney trouble, but the best medical authorities agree that backache sel- dom or never has anything to do with the kidneys. Organic kidney disease may have progressed to a critical point without developing a pain in the back, This being the case pain in the back should always lead the sufferer to look to the condition of his blood.

It has been now establish- ed, according to Henry Wood, the. United Press correspondent with the French armies, that swallows in flying maintain an average altitude of 700 yards. Wild ducks, on the other hand, | prefer a greater height, and stick to an altitude of 1,800 yards. Green, plover maintain at all times an even greater altitude, and in March, dur- ing their period of migration, the French aviators have met them at a} height of 2,150 yards.. Wild ducks in flight are particularly interesting. | Every one knows that these birds al- | ways fly in single file behind their leaders, but it is now proved that the wild ducks execute every -movement with a wonderful simultaneous and de- gree of precision. If, for example, the leading duck at the head of the file changes the position of a wing in or- | der to fly either higher or lower, all. of the others make the same move-j ment, apparently at the same moment. The average speed of wild ducks in' flight is proved at sixty-five and a half | miles on hour when they are flying up- | ward and sixty-nine miles an hour! when flying horizontally, which agrees with the estimate which has been pre- viously made. re 0--0---0----0---0----0-----0---u----0o 0 0 --0----0 | WOMEN!
