LITTLE STORIES OF
 THE GREAT WAR
SAW SOMETHING TO DO-AND
 DID TT.

~ HERE Is message straight from
 the battlefield to every boy grow - ing to manhood in the fact that young Canadian Sergeant H. A. Jarvis, of Winnipeg, has been award ed a distinguished conduct medal for gallantry in action-just because he saw something to do and did it with out waiting to be told
 This is the way in which he modest ly tells his story in letter home: That evening I was sent out on a very dangerous job. We had to dig a communicating trench out of an- other trench which had been taken by us from the Germans. It was to enable the men to so to and fro with out being seen. I did not know where to go so I followed the men in front till they halted. When I got to the front I asked for the officer in charge, but no one knew where he was. There l was with sixty men with shovels and empty sand bags. and no one to show us what to do. I went ahead and came upon place that had been blown to pieces, and another place where there was no trench. I went back and put it up to the men, told them that we could do some good work. and asked them to help out. They were all out in the open about midnight, and although the enemys rockets made the place look like day and though they were continually fir ing yet l had a charmed life I walked backwards and forwards on stretch of about one hundred yards, urging, cheering and encouraging the men. No one was hit.
 About 1 A. M. a captain of the engineers came along and wanted to know who was in charge, and they sent him to me. He started to get on to me about being in the wrong place. I told him it was not up to me and explained about being left with no instructions He asked me who told me to dig the trench, and I told him no one. I thought it was

fine, white flour.
 Do you remember how the rollers on mothers wringer look?''
 Jamie nodded.
 The smooth rollers in a flour mill look a great deal like those rollers, only of course, they are much larger and are made of a hard metal (steeD
 After the wheat comes from the smooth rollers, 1t is flour. How good 1t is depends upon just how careful the miller Is to get good grain in the first place, then to clean 1t carefully. then to separate the bran from the inside of the grain just right, then to fix the rollers so that they will grind the flour smooth and evenly.
 When the flour is all made it Is packed by machinery into small and large sacks, and barrels, each one weighing so many pounds. Then it is put on wagons or trains or boats and taken to different places to be sold"

 And yet If you could see Gretel in the flesh you would find her most attractive little miss. More than that. you would conclude that her costume suits her exactly-including her hard wooden shoes-and that she looks very pretty and sweet and cunning as she drives her geese along toward home after fat days feeding
 If ever you are in Holland you will see lots of little Gretels who look just like the one in the drawing.

and the nose which is furrowed re- veals kindness and benevolence.
 The feshy, arehed nose is indicative of a cruel, domineering nature. and is to be avoided when possible. The blunt, slender nose. indicates that it's possessor is quick witted, somewhat ironical, but not profound. The pug" nose is claimed to be the mark of a feeble mind, even coarse in breeding; their owners are usually cheerful and gay, however. Pale noses show ego tistic qualities, envious natures and cold-heartedness. but often great in- telligence.

No, no, that doesn't mean that she is a "a goose" but simply that she tends to geese during the day while they are feed ing in the soft, sweet marsh lands.

HOOKWORM CASE
SHOWS IN TULSA
Disease that Starts in the
Feet Has Made Tulsan
a Victim.

one Of the few cases of hookworm
ever seen I'm Tulsa, the disease to
which is attributed the greatest draw
back the south has had, creating what
is known as the poor white trash"
was discovered by local physician
yesterday. The woman who is suf-
fering with the disease, which is very
rare In this part Of the country, lives
near Tulsa. A very few cases previous
to this have been found in Tulsa.
The hookwOrm saps the energy Of
the patient, who after years of what
may be called chronic laziness, dies
from loss Of blood which the little
parasite sucks. The worms are about
one quarter OF an inch long and breed
in great numbers. As a usual thing
they enter the body from the feet,
coming from the dirt of the street.
For this reason the disease is more
common among people who do not
wear shoes
They take course through blood
vessels, finally reaching the lungs,
whence they are caught into the
mouth and swallowed. In this man
ner they reach the intestines, where
they ply their slowly consuming work.
When children contract the disease
their growth Is usually stunted.
Tho Tulsa patient has had the dis
ease unknowingly for seven or eight
years

Baker who Is . years old, was an
engineer on tho Canadian Pacific rail-

Canadian army at the outbreak OF
the war. His father IL also mem-
her of the contingent. Six weeks ago
another Canadian soldier introduced
young Baker to his cousin, q Belgian
girl OF 20, who has been compelled to
flee from Antwerp, when the city was
besleged by the Germans.
Bertha Nendon Bosch had been
clerk In one Of the big hotels, and
when she came to England she was
practically pennileSs. That didn't

language question worry him, though
that was serious difficulty, for he
knew no French and Bertha's English

Then, the other day, he got 36

Bertha proceeded to Lindengrove

changed her name to Baker The
honeymoon was limited 10 one day,
