war, subsequent developments have
shown that the Germans, in their cal
culations, have made several errors.
One of these was their belief that the
Beers in South Africa would rise up

The Union government is well post

Of The Germans, who have about 5000
troops, besides some armed blacks and
among the civilian population it is
thought about 5000 will be called out.

Avoid heavy and very -ieh meals,
light and digestible fare is required,
consisting chiefly of fish, eggs, poul-
try, salads, cheese and fruit, sweets
made with milk, cream and eggs, and
SO on, mostly cold, though too many
ices should not be taken. They are
responsible for most summer mala-
dies. Iced drinks should also be taken
in moderation; and the refreshing
lemonade or cups" made with light
wines, hook, moselle or with fruit
sirups, are best. II spirits are taken
at all it should be infrequently.
The face should only be washed
with soap and water last thing at
night, but 1t is very refreshing to
spray it and the back frequently with
rose or elder-hower water to which
simple tincture of benzoin has been
added, drop by drop, in the proportion
of one teaspoonful Of the tincture to
a half pint of rose water. Dry with a
soft handkerchief, then apply little
non-fatty face cream, smooth this off
with the handkerchief and dust on a
little good powder. The face wash
mentioned is wonderfully cleansing,
and, with the cream, provides great
protection against freckles and sum
burn.
