COMFORTABLE IN BED

In the April Woman's Home CON-
panion appears a department called
The Exchange, in which readers set
down practical suggestions that have
developed out of household experience.
One woman tells as follows how to
make an invalid comfortable:
"Last year one member of the fam
lily was unable to be out of bed. I
took a shoe bag that had ample pock-
cts and pinned it neatly with safety
pins to the side of her bed. In the
pockets I put her books and various
articles that she needed. Everything
was within reach"

SHORTAGE IN
War MATERIALS
LORD KITCHENER SAYS SUPPLY
is SERIOUS CONSIDERATION
AND is CAUSING ANXIETY.

London, March 1S.-Secrctary of
War Earl Kitchener gave brief re-
view of the war situation in the House
of Lords this evening.
He said that only trench fighting
has been possible for many weeks,
past but that this had not effected tthe
morale Of the British troops. Recent
occuranccs in the fight around Neuve
Chappelle and Epinettc showed how
successfully the British troops have
been able to take the offensive.
The minister of war referred to the
gallentry showed by the soldiers of
India and he spoke euloglcally Of the
French army, which, he said, has made
important progress at various points
along the line, especially in Cham
pagne, where the soldiers of the re-
public had given evidence of marked
tenacity.
/ The situation in the Dardenelles is
we'll in hand, the speaker declared, but
he is unable to say more than has ap
peared in the press.
Progress in the work of equippine
Britain's new armies has been ham
pered seriously by failure to get suf
ficient labor and the necessary factor!
facilities.
''The supply of war material is nov
and for the next month or two vii
be very serious consideration" h,
said "It is causing me serious anx
iety.

The Railroad Not Blamed.

That the accident in which Fred Cote
of Mexico lost his life on the Rsngeley
division of the Maine Central railroad,
April %, was due to the victims failure
to take reasonable pains to ascertain
whether or not train was approaching,
was the finding of the public utilities
commissioners in decision just filed.
Cote, who was q years old, was driving
a milk wagon at the time of the acct
dent. As it was not possible to see
whether or not the tracks were clear in
both directions he sent companion
ahead to signal whether or not II was
safe 20 pass. According to the testi-
mony of this party the signal was given
that the train was approaching, but, APP
pareutly not understanding what was
meant Cote started to drive across the
track and was struck by passenger train

YOUR GOLDEN WEDDING CHIMES

YOUR GOLDEN WEDDING CHIMES.
Written for the fiftieth wedding anniversary
Mr.. and Mrs. James r. Tucker, June II, 1916.
The wedding chimes we hear to-day
Ring not Of silver or Of gold.
They ring Of far more priceless things
Than wealth Of gems untold.
They tell US of two Christlike lives,
Whose fifty golden years
OF welded, consecrated love,
Have walked "this vale Of tears"
With humble, earnest, steadfast feet,
And eyes upl' fled to Che sky,
Two hearts that beat In unisJn,
Two souls with purpose high.
Your willing hands, and helpful lives.
80 full Of cheerful giving,
Have made this old world happier far,
And better, for your living.
Two daughters rare-a noble son,
Are left to bless each year, ,,
And for the two whom God hath called
An angel hovers near.
How gladly would come to-day
To seek your hallowed places,
Sit down beside your hearth once more,
And look into your faces,
And thank you for the lessons rare.
Your kindly lives have taught me,
For courage TO take up the tasks
The passing years have brought me.
Upon your bridal altar now,
Where offerings rich belong,
This tribute of my love bring,
The heart-g gift Of my song.
May many anniversaries
Be added to your sum,
And rarest gifts from heaven be yours,
Through all the years to comel
