.avalry. Hamilton tried to comfort
me by crediting me with Cruise and
Whyde, two of our militia comrades
who declared they would not have re-
enlisted had it not been for me; but, as
Cruse's parents refused to sign the GER
titicate necessary in the case Of minors
who enlisted, Cruise was released from
his promise Whyde went swimming
one day in water too deep for him and
was buried three days later with such
military honOrs as Summerton could
extemporiZe.
For the week after my re-enlistment
my heart was as heavy as If it had
been filed with bullets. No recruits;
no chance of a commission; worse than
oil, no prospect of having Brainard
with me during the three years to
come. | was too downhearted to no.
tice that Hamilton and Cloyne were
not in their usual spirits, but one day.
as the three Of us sat in the vacant
store in which we had our recruiting
office and stared gloomily at the roll
which was still blank except for our
own names, Brainard came in, looked
at us and said abruptly:
'If you fellows don't get your spirits
up in some way, you'll never find the
government any soldiers, and you won't
be fit to be soldiers yourselves"
The looks that were fixed upon him
quickly by three pairs of angry eyes
ought to have Scorched him and made
him shrivel But they didn't, for he
went on:
"You haven't got anybody by sitting
here or strutting around the village.
Why don't you go about everywhere
and talk your best? Why, there's Mick
McTwyny, village rowdy, who's
working for a sergeants position in the
same regiment-he's enlisted seven
men out of the fire engine company

"MiCk McTwynyw exclaimed Cloyne,
springing to his feet.
"That ignorant rufTian" shouted
! Hamilton, also rising hastily. "Has he
the impudence to want to be a SER
| geant in our regiment-perhaps our
very company"
Eyes" said Brainard, "and he'll be
one, too, if he keeps on as he's begun"
| didn't say much; | couldn't. A
whole dictionary could scarcely have
supplied words to express what l felt.
For awhile, as imagined Mick in camp
in a sergcants uniform and myself
n private in the same company and
subject to his orders, | wished it had
been | instead of poor Whyde who had
been drowned. Hamilton and Cloyne
began to pace the floor like tigers in a
cage. Suddenly Hamilton stopped and
exclaimed:

FOOD FOR A CHILD.
Some Things That Are Good For
Fast Growing Young Folk.

A question of vital interest to the ma
jority of mothers today is what food is
best calculated to meet the demands OF
growing childhood as well as to supply
the waste of its tissues. With the fast
growing child its demands for food
ofttimes seem inconsistent, but in most
instances it will be found that its sys-
lem is really in need of a certain food
substance which can only be got by
eating an excess of the unnecessary
food in order to obtain it.
With active exercise of both mind
and body, as with the rOllicking school
boy, the demand for proper food is
great In most instances, and leaving
1t to the childrcn's decision, proper
food means pastries, etc. Instead or
these building up and repairing the
body, they serve to give more heat and
energy to an already worn, tired out
nature.
The virtues of whole wheat bread
for the growing child are many. 1t
supplies every need and want of the
human body. 1t not only gives heat
and energy, but is a constant repairer
Of waste tissue, while its mineral con-
stituents convert cartilage into strong,
healthy bone and teeth. Sandwiches
of this bread daintily put together with
a thin slice of cold meat or some meat
preparation form a most acceptable
lunch, and if these are incaSed in the
waxed paper used by bakers, and
which can be purchased of them, they
will keep moist and fresh for hours.
Do not forget to use butter on the
bread quite as literally as If no sand
wich was to be made. A certain por-
tion of fat is absolutely necessary to
the body's development as well. Sweet,
fresh butter or cream is the best form
Of fat, and a liberal use of these is
quite sufficient for the bOdy's needs.
In preparing the school luncheon do
not forget to tuck in bit Of fruit Of
some kind Sweet fruits contain much
nourishment, it is well to remember,
dates, figs, bananas and grapes con
tanning the most.
Juicy fruits are rich in phOsphates
for the blood and are easily digested as
well. The excess Of water which they
contain forms a distilled drink, and as
thirst quenchers they prove a success.
1t is far better to supply the children
with fruit for their luncheon than TO
give them a food that in time works
evil effects in the system.-New York
Observer.

By John HABBERTON,

whether his mother was much worse.
"That isn't the trouble" said he.
"The surgeon has rejected me. He says
I'm under the regulation height and too
slight for service anyway"
Suddenly the whole world looked
dark to me- Brainard was my dearest
friend, and my cousin May was very
fond of him, although Phil Hamilton
handsome, rich, stylish Phil-was one
of her most devoted admirers. The idea
of going to the war again, and for three
years, without Brainard being where
could see him every day was too dread
full to be thought of. My feelings must
have got into my face, for Brainard
put on ghost of n smile and said:
Don't be dismal, Jack, for now you'll
have the chance to do all the fighting
for both of us"
This ought to have comfOrted my
patriotic soul, but it didn't. | was so
disloyal to my new vows as to de-
clare that if Brainard was not allowed

afterward | would run away, and
Brainard and would go to some other
state and enlist together, where Char
ley'S smallness of stature might not be
against him.
But this resolution did not cheer
Brainard any, and he felt worse an
hour later when the three of us who
had passed the mastering officer were
looking at one another in new cavalry
uniforms. while he was In civilians
dress. He felt still worse when we all
went back to SummertOn and took sup
per together at our house, for my cOus-
in May noticed him scarcely at all, but
was very agreeable to Hamilton.
The next day, by special permission
of the major, Hamilton, Cloyne and |
opened recruiting office at Summer
ton Brainard attached himself to us
as Il sort of civilian aid. He said if he
wasn't to be a soldier and fight there
was the more reason why he should
try to persuade other men to enlist.
| Immediately notified my 27 men that
the roll was ready for them to sign.
Hamilton and Cloyne had previously
looked at my list and assured me that
they would not accept any Of these
men without specially crediting them
to me.
But somehow none of them made
haste to sign. Some had heard that
larger bounties were being offered in
other towns or states, so they were GO
ing to look about carefully and do the
best they could for themselves; others
had themselves seen the cavalry major
and obtained promises of commissions
If they would raise men; still others
had heard that so many men were en-
listing from day to day that wages for
work at home were going to be much
better. Several had spent their final
pay from the Ninety y-ninth for drink
and been picked up, enlisted and mus
tered for other regiments before they
became sober.

Advice For the Fat Woman.

Notwithstanding the interest shown
in physical culture by people in gener-
al the distinctly "fat" woman has not
disappeared. Here is what one of the
numerous people "whO know" says She
should and should not eat:
The woman-or man-whO wishes to
lose flesh will avoid sweets and starchy
foods, eliminating from the bill Of fare
such edibles as potatoes, corn, beans,
peas, parsnips, spaghetti, beets, cream
and fresh breads. The only admissible
drinks are weak tea without milk for
breakfast and luncheon, one glass OF
water for dinner and cup of hot wa
ter before breakfast and before going
to bed
