The Manchester Guardian says:
"One reads in the war news that the

forts spiked If that is meant liter
ally they must have been guns of
mainly antiquarian interest. The ex-
preston. splking guns is a survival
from the days when all that was nee
essary 20 put a gun out of action
(provided, OF course, that you had ac-
cess To it) was q large nail, or spike,
and hammer You simply drove the
nail into the torch-hole at The brecch.
If the nail was long enough to turn
round at the end, on the bottom of the
bore, so much the better. 1t is just as
simple, perhaps simpler to put a mod
ern gun out Of action. All you want
is hammer The breech block of the
modern gun is held closer by screw
threads: after the breech block is shut
on the shell a turn of two or three
inches engages the threads by knock-
ing q burr on these threads you pre-
vent them engaging. Any attempt to
fire the gun without the breech block
being perfectly closed would, of
C urse. be of material assistance to the

INSTANTANEOUS WRINKLE
LOTION EASILY MADE
(From Signs of the Times)

Beauty specialists physicians and
chemists long have sought some
method of removing wrinkles that
would not only be really effective, but
that would not injure the skin in any
way. nor cause any bad after effect
A simple astringent and tonic lotion
which seems to meet these require
ments has at last been found.
Any woman can easily make the
preparation at home, by procuring an
ounce of powdered saxolite and a half
pint of witch hazel at the nearest drug
store, mixing the two BY bathing the
face in this liquid the skin immedi-
ately become taut and firm, likewise
the muscular tissue underneath. The
effect IL to push out and oeliterate the
wrinkles, as well as to draw in hanging
skin about the cheeks, chin or neck.
Enlarged pores are reduced. the sGin
looks more refined and the face more
youthful. The lotion is wonderfully
refreshing and invigorating.
