The summing up tells that an army of
more than twelve thousand men was
practically annihilated; four Generals OF

weapons and ammunition fell into the
hands of the Japanese, and n good
amount of treasure was captured.
1t is shown by the story of this eye

OF the campaign, that the men fought

One Summers Idyl.

!, the Editor:
She was tall. aesthetic, charming;
She was most divinely fair,
And she set his heart to beating
I.ls-a wild and prancing pair
OF dapple grays.
He met her at the seaside,
Where he gave to her his heart.
And she took 1t with an idle grace
Which quite became the part
OF a belle.
But the season'e end came quickly.
Fond good-bys were gently said.
Back to town and stocks and business
He most heavily did tread
Loveless goal.
Each days dreaming brought her nearer
To his life-dream's high ideal.
And even when he sauntered out
To get his MONDAY meal
He thought OF her.
Thought of her when he was toying
With a much soiled bill OF fare.
When a tap upon the shoulder
Reminded him that he was there
In the dairy.
YEARLY he gave his order
For boiled eggs and apple pie.
Then. tossing down the bill OF fare,
He gazed into the laughing eye
or the maid.
What a shock went through his being.
As he slowly realized
That the dairy maid before him
Was the BELLE whose smile he'd priced
At the seaside.

Uninterrupted Functional activity

Food does not in itself strengthen, but

strength Is projected. 1t matters not
how much one eats, he still has to rely
upon exercise for the cultivation of
strength. A diet chiefly of fruit and
