LENTEN DIET

A devout Catholic lady, of Washing

quirements of the church as to diet

LAS Lent approached last year. /

sense. but by also practicing self

to my old diet. I began on. Ash We'd

character.

Towards the Pole With the Sledges.
IN a twenty-mile wind on the morn

men. sixteen pony sledges and thirteen
dog sledges. We reached the summit
of the glacier the same afternoon. af-

we were obliged to camp as every

The sixteen ponies huddled together
in a line on the icy slope, overlooking
the 1mpenetrable mist-shrouded dis

the dogs parked and fought while the
men went about their duties in their
white silk wind coats. looking like so
many BedOuins or Crusaders.
The wind went down during the
night and in the early morning we

afternoon in a heavy drifting wind,
one man disabled by a rupture from
Over-exertion, another with a strained
back. and three others not in condi-
ton to go forward. While cooking
supper two of the cookers gave out

with all those food elements which
make bone, blood. muscle and brain
and bring perfect health.
The malt extract is added after the
wheat has been thoroughly cooked and
steamed and converts the starch of the
wheat into maltese, or malt sugar,
which is highly nutritious and easily
assimilated even by very weak stom-
achs. Physicians recommend maltese
for its strength giving qualities and
