URGENT REQUEST COMES FOR FOOD Great Britain Wants, All That Can Be Spared, and Quickly. A despatch from Ottawa says: "very carload of wheat.or flour and bacon or frozen meat that Canada can get to the seaboard is badly wanted." Such is the effect of a cabled mess- age received from the British Minis- try of Food by the Chairman of the Canadian Food Board. "Compulsory rationing of meat, but- ter and fats came into force on Mon- day throughout London and the home counties. Fourteen million people are now restrieted to about 1% pounds of meat, 4 ounces of butter or margar- ine and % pound of sugar per week, By March 25 compulsory rationing of these foodstuffs will be universal -in the United Kingdom. The congestion on the railways in the United States continues to aggravate the already serious situation. Every carload of wheat or flour and bacon or frozen meat that Canada can get to the sea- board is badly wanted. "The Italian Government Commis- sion states that the food situation there is unchanged, but all the allied countries are naturally affected by the decreased imports reaching them 1from American ports." fe Britain Releases 817 Prisoners.

GERMAN ADVANCE Government Making Stronger Resistance to Foe Invasion. A despatch from London says: A Petrograd despatch to the Exchange Telegraph Company under date of February 27 says it is reported from Luga that the German detachments, which entered that town a day or two ago, are leaving. The Russians, mov- ing to meet them, have turned towards the main railway and occupied three small stations within 12 miles of Pskoy.. Large Russian . detachments are concentrating near Pskov. The railway men are forming partisan detachments along the line. From Smolensk comes the report that the Germans have met with strong resistance within 16 versts (10.7 miles) from Orsha, and were forced to retire.

In her life of Lord William Beres- ford, Mrs. Stuart Menzies tells this story of the generosity of that stout- hearted nobleman. At a regimental dinner given in his honor shortly after he had won the Victoria Cross he was being carried round the table on the shoulders of his old "pals," when he espied in a corner of the room a doctor wearing |the ribbon of the Victoria Cross. The {moment he could free himself from; ithe affectionate attentions of his friends he made a dive for the doctor, and, hoisting him on his shoulders, re- | gardless of the. man's embarrassed protests, he ran round the room with him while all present, cheered lustily. In the zenith of his pleasure he was thinking of the other man, and wished him to. share in the applause "and cheers of the evening. With charac- teristically quick perception and sym- 'pathy he had guessed what memories [were stirring in the old hero's heart. Fe ees | | ars WHAT 15 THEScorE] ® GZ yp | +, He.

When filled with water in zero weather they will generally freeze in a day and a night. . By turning them over and pouring a little hot water over the pans the cakes of ice will readily come out., By coating the pans with a film of tallow the cakes of ice may be-removed without the use of hot water. The cakes may be packed in an ice-house as pe made.
