rifle fire and machine guns which are
invisible from our side OF the valley.
The ground in front OF the infantry
trenches is also, as a rule, under cross
FIRE from field artillery placed on
neigh boring features and under high
angle fire from pieces placed well
back behind the woods on top OF the
plateau.
"A feature Of this action. as of the
previous lighting. is the use by the
enemy Of their numerous heavy
howitzers. with which they are able
20 direct long range fire all over the
valley and right across II. Upon these
they evidently place great reliance.
Where our men are holding the
forward edge Of the high ground on
the north side they are now strongly
entrenched. They are fed well and
in spite OF the weather OF the past
week are cheerful and cOnfidnt.
THE bombardment BY both sides
has been very heavy and on Sunday.
Monday and Tuesday was practically
continuous Nevertheless in spite Of
the general din caused by the reports
OF the immense number of heavy guns
in action along our front on Wednes-
day, the arrival Of the French force
acting against the German right flank
or our front some miles away by the
continuous roar Of their quick firing
artillery with which their attack was
opened.
Casualties Are Severe.
$50 far as the British are con-
cerned, the greater part of this week
has been passed in bOmbardment, in
gaining ground by degrees and in
beating back severe counter attacks
with heavy slaughter. Our casualties
have been severe, but it is probable
that those Of the enemy a aavier.
THE rain has caused drop
in the temperature and thCT $ more
than a distinct feeling of autumn in
the air especially in the early morn
ings
ION our right and left the French
have been fighting fiercely and have
also been gradually gaining ground.
One village has already, during this
battle, been captured and recaptured
twice by each side and at the time OF
writing remains in the hands OF the
Germans.
THE fighting has been at close
quarters and of the most desperate
nature and the streets of the villages
are filled with dead of both sides.
THE Germans have a formidable
army which has been we'll trained and
their soldiers are carrying on the con-
test with skill and valor. They are
fighting TO win anyhow, regardless of
all the rules of fair play.
Hesitate at Nothing.
There is evidence that they do not
hesitate at anything in order TO gain
a victory.
"A large number of the tales of
their misbehaviOr are exaggerated.
Some precautions they have taken to
guard themselves against the inhab-
itants in the areas they have traversed
are possibly justifiable measures of
war, but at the same time, ii has been
definitely established that they have
committed atrocities on many oc-
casions they have been guilty of
brutal conduct
THE royal flying corps who have
been out on reconnaissance every day
since their arrival in France never
have seen a Zeppelin, although air
ships Of the non-rigid type have been
seen on two occasions.

up. The mon who have done big
things in life are the ones who are
able to digest wholesome food, con-
sequently to store energy which is
essential to carry on big projects.
food changes mans view Of life and
often makes a passable saint Of po-
tential cririnal.
There is, however, vast difference
between eating much and eating well.
There may be, and usually is, more
nourishment in good meat not neces-
ssrily expensive cuts), bread, butter
and potatoes than in twice the none
tary value of nick-nacks. Judgment
in selecting suitable dietary is often
the difference between high cost Of
living and the cost of high living,
which frequently means improper liv-
ing. ..-...... ~ !
Good sense and experience will
often be a better guide to the individ-
ual than some theoretical advice. No
man ever gained in money, content
ment nor health by underfeeding him
self or fanny. But there is more
sense in 10 cents worth of beefsteak
or eggs than in the same value of pie.

The chief uses of food are: To

muscular and other work which the
body has to do and to yield heat to

heat and energy it serves rs fuel.
There are some antiquated theories
going around about certain kinds oil
foods being the cause Of disease, as
for instance the eating Of meat caus-
ing rheumatism, and various other
unfounded statements. The chief pur-
pose in eating is to furnish proper
balance of rations for the body so
that no part will suffer in the COM

people are entirely misguided by bad
advice, As for example the drinking Of
little water causing fat to be absorbed
more readily, or that Il drink water
with meals brings on indigestion;
chief among al the errors is the
readiness with which the liver is
blamed for being the cause of half
our troubles. !
