Candy Relieves Fatigue.

The value of candy is recognized by
military authorities. The British SOL
diers in France are reported as con-
Stunning "prodigious quantities of
sweets. A captain at the front with
the British army reports that the can
teen has five times the demand for
sweets that was expected, and one
fifth the demand for beer" The Aus
tralians encamped in Egypt have eaten
all the chocolate to be had in Cairo.
Scientists contend the sugar has
much food value and is a good sub
stitute for alcohol. Chocolate, for ex-
ample, is harmlessly stimulating. Sol
diers have discovered what scientists
knew before, that sugar will relieve
fatigue quickly and give a sense Of
strength that is real without the sub
sequent depression experienced by
those who use spirits. Sugar and can
dies are found to be useful not only
to the physically tired, but to those
who suffer mental exhaustion.-West-

FROG IN BABY's STOMACH

Is Dead.

The eighteen-months-old child OF
Mrs. Harry Wolf of Chicago is dead.
following an operation which disclosed
conditions that many surgeons had de-
clared to be impossible, says a Goshen
tlnd.) dispatch to the Indianapolis Star.
While visiting her parents in SYRIA
cuse, Kosciusko county, last summer,
Mrs. Wolf permitted the baby to drink
hydrant water. Within a short time
the infant became sickly and lost flesh.
treatment for indigestion was given,
but it did not reach the seat of the
trouble. Then an Xvray examination
disclosed a black spot on the stomach,
and an operation resulted in a frog
weighing more than half a pound be-
ing taken from the infant.
Doctors who operated said they be-
ieved that when the child drank n.y.
drant water in Syracuse a tadpole vas
taken into the stomach and that the
frog developed and lived on milk,
which was given the patient in large
quantities. Following the operation
the child improved rapidly and COM
plete recovery was practically assured,
when pneumonia developed, causing
death.

Mary Roberts Rinehart, in the Saturday
Evening Post.
That night in my hotel after dinner,
Gertrude, Lady Decies, told me the fol-
owing story:
II had only - hours notice to start for
the front. 1 am not a hospital nurse. but
| nave taken for several years three
months each summer of special training.
30 I felt that 1 would be useful if l
could get over.
ut was November and very cold. When
got to Calais there was not a room to
be had anywhere. But at the Hotel Cen
trail they told me l might nave a bath
room to sleep in.
AT the last moment a gentleman VOL
nnteered to exchange with me. But the
next day he left, so that night I slept in
4 bath tub with a mattress in it!
1.-THE following day I got a train for
Dunkirk. On the way the train was
wrecked. Several coaches left the track,
and there was nothing to do but to wait
until they were put back on.
Il went to the British consul at Dun
kirk and asked him where l could be
most useful. He said to go to the rail-
road station at once.
II went to the station. The situation
there was horrible. Three doctors and
seven dressers We're working on four-hour
shifts.

that was when we We're needed. ! worked
all night from that time on. My first
night we lad LOO men. Some of them
were dead when they We're lifted out onto
the stone floor of the station shed. One
boy flung himself out of the door. I
caught him as he fell and he died In my
arms. He had diphtheria, as we'll as be-
hg wounded.
THE station was frightfully cold, and
The men had to be laid on the stone floors
with just room for moving about be-
tween them. There was no heat of any
sort. The dead were laid in rows, one
on top of another, on cattle trucks. AS
last as a man died they took his body
away and brought in another wounded
nan.
Every now and then the electric lights
would go out and leave US there in black
darkness. Finally we got candles and
amps for emergencies.
