she was wounded rather badly. Later
she was taken prisoner by the French
and was not permitted to return TO her
regiment for some time.
The good lady seems TO have had the
true military spirit, for, learning that a
sergeant had insulted a certain girl, she
challenged him to a duel and he ignorant
Of her sex. responded cheerfully to tho
call. Unfortunately for her, she wounded
him badly, and was at once discharged,
and 1t was at this crisis OF affairs that
she managed to get into a better regt-
ment the Scots GrCys. There she dis
tlnguished herself as n fighter, and also
learned of her husbands whereabouts.
Later her identity was discovered. but so
delighted was the colonel with her
bravery that he sent for her husband and
gave great reception in her honor

with pension of one quarter a day.

too, doing as good service as the men.
During the Russo-Japancse War the
daughter Of a certain wealthy merchant
Of Russia was so inspired with hatred

the losses to the Russian troops that
she went strnightway TO the front and en-

WHAT SHALL BE OUR
WINTER BEVERAGE?
BY MRS. CHRISTINE FREDERICK
Author The New Housekeeping.

Tea, coffee. cocoa-what shall our hot
drink be? Defenders Of the cup that
cheers but which may also contain sew
eral grains Of caffeine or theme again
rally to their favorite beverage now that
colder days are with us. Buttermilk
and all it's cousins and aunts, plain milk
and cold egg and fruit drinks are being
neglected for that something hot which
we demand with the advent of sharp
winds and chill.
Many OF us who like tea as an accom-
paniment to lunch and at other times
cannot get down to the viewpoint OF the
Britisher who wants tea for breakfast.
Authorities tell us that coffee is danger
Gus Cthere's reason), and yet we must
have hot beverage to start the day
right.
self-respecting coffee iends refuse to
admit the possibilities of coffee substi-
tutes, and vet there are several of these
which, when made right and served with
cream, make good morning drink. one
of these gaining in favor is a drink made
from the banana Tropical dwellers have
long used this food-fruit in this way,
drying the pulp and grinding It and
roasting 1t so that the beverage brewed
from It, while not in any sense pretend
ing TO be coffee, is pleasant brown-col-
ored drink. II is especially good for chill
dren or others TO whom coffee Is denied.
why not cocoaT' you ask. There is
no more delicious drink than cocoa, and
It can be moro widely used than at
present. But for many the high amount
OF fat present in the usual brands OF
cocoa mako this beverage hard to digest,
especially when taken regularly and in
quantity. For such persons let mo
recommend drink made from cocoa
shells" These are the shells separated

from the cracked cocoa bean. They do
not contain as much nutriment as orr
dinary cocoa, but they have about the
same flavor, and, owing to the previous
extraction Of oil allow the beverage to
be much more easily dlgested than or
dlnary cocoa. These shells can be bought
for small sum, in quantities Of several
pounds, and a small amount may be
stepped like tea or coffee. The resulting
beverage is light brown in color. favored
like cocoa and more digestable.
For other meals, or especially for the
afternoon cup that cheers, we can SUBJ
stltute bouillon and beef extract instead
of tea or coffee. A spoonful of meat ex-
tract or a bouillon cube dissolved in q
cup Of hot water Is Just as stimulating
without the questionable results Of our
usual beverages. A cup Of any clear
broth, even tomato. is excellent to well
come tho children when they come home
from school on chilly afternoons and is
all that is necessary to bridge the gap
between their lunch and dinner.
For those OF us who have a little more
time TO spend In cooking there are many
gruels and broths which need not be cons
fined entirely to the invalids dietary.
Various fruit favored gruels of rice or
barley carefully strained or combined
with milk or matted milk, are most
beverages, which have just as
stomachic results as other beverages, but
which have food value as we'll.
For the winter nights a hot 'possst'
may be preferred. This is merely an
eggnds disguised with grape juice and
spices. served hot. And the hot fr1lit
drinks like hot claret cup. hot blackberry
or black currant drinks arc easy to make
and equally as attractive as our common
beverages.

and set out to try out her inspiration.
She visited the mothers of these children,
telling them that she would be very glad
to entertain their hopefuls every morning.
She added that on the days when the
weather was not good they could come
to her home. Needless to say, the moth
ers were delighted, because the constant
watching, so inseparable to children, be-
came very tiresOme And those who did
their own houseworlt found It almost
impossible to care for the youngsters,
too.
Then this little girl counted the young
sters and took her slender purse down
town. She bought ten clay pipes and
n bubble blowing set, several games of
checkers, parcheesi. Jackstraws, otc..
and plenty of Jacks marbles and tops.
The kiddes were completely won over
on the first stormy day. They had so
many tea parties, both for themselves
(where the party" finally ended) and
their dollies that the circle grew tre-
mendously,
A dollar a week was the fee each
mother was glad to pay for seeing such
happy, smiling young faces every lunch
hour. The girl herself has steady
income of about $50 a month. Pretty
good for pin-money, isn't 1t?

Sudden changes are particularly
trying for old people or those who
suffer from weakened, rundown
condition, chronic coughs, colds or
bronchitis, but if such persons would
only apply common sense methods in
the treatment of their condition,
much discomfort and suffering might
be avoided.
The most essential thing to do is
to build up strength, enrich the
blood, increase vital resistance and to
accomplish this nothing equals Vinol
our cod liver and iron tonic.
Mr.. M. J. Grimes of Springfield,
Ohio, says: II was badly rundown,
nervous and weak, and while in this
condition I contracted a heavy cold
and rheumatism. Vinol was recon-
mended and I am happy to say it
cured my cold and restored me to
health again."
Old people, delicate children, run
down, overworked and tired women,
those suffering from bronchitis,
chronic coughs and colds should try
a bottle of Vinol. We will return
