London.--Tt looks as though there

There is some disquiet in correct mil

subalterns to acquire short side whis-

HINTS ON SHIPPING
EGGS FOR MATCHING
Neat, Attractive Package win
Please Customers-Basket
Is Recommended.

Time now to prepare for the ship
ping season and it is folly to wait until
orders come in before having every
thing ready.
The most important thing is to sat
isfy your customers by giving them
exactly what you advertise to sell, or
even doing little better.
II eggs are broken in transit do not
hesitate to replace them the day you
receive the complaint from your GUS
toner.
Give everybody a square deal, and
remember that satisfied customer is
always a customer.
A neat, attractive package may cost
a trifle more than slovenly one, but
1t will please your customers and ad-
vertise your egg business, because
customers very often judge a man
business by first impressions of pack
age and contents when they are re-
ceived
The best package for shipping eggs
is basket, although many breeders
do not use them.
The basket should hold one or two
settings. and these can be got for two
cents from any manufacturer. A thick
layer of excelsior should cover the
bottom and all eggs should be
wrapper in soft paper and SO packed
with fine excelsior that they will not
touch one another.
When the eggs are packed, put an
other layer Of excelsior over the top
and cover with thin board.
Next to the basket, is the egg box,
made for holding 1S or Is eggs. This
is arranged with cardboard compart-
ments, with room for excelsior or other
packing at top or bottom.
This box is provided with wire
handle, and the cover slides into
grooves which may then be screened
OF tackled down with small nails.
Never ship package that is not
screwed or nailed down, because this
will save eggs from being filched by
curious persons who can open the
package in transit
Never ship soiled egg. Nothing so
disgusts a customer as to receive a
setting of eggs which are dirty and
Of poor shape.
Eggs should be selected so that each
setting will be uniform in size, shape
and color when possible
When the package is ready to ship,
place on it label containing your adj
dress and the address of the customer,
plainly written Never fail to put your
name on anything that will help to adj
vertise your business.

Morning.

Stick In Trenches and Refused to

Way-vaIor of Troops of South

BY A. r. DECKER.

Correspondent of the Chicago News)
Pont-a-Mousson, France.-The doc
tor and his wife inhabit three-story
house on the side of the Place du Roi
farthest from the Germans. Because
Of the open square in front, there is
nothing to intervene between them
and the German shells, to make them
explode before reaching the residence
Of the doctor. So, to escape the bonn
bardments, the doctor and his wife
eat, sleep and live in the kitchen,
which is on the corner of the house
farthest back and farthest down.
Listens to "Music" of the Shells.
One evening, as was his custom, the
doctor, having finished dinner, was
consulting the memoranda of his calls
for the day and for the days work to
come. He heard the usual whistling
and exploding of shells and left his
notes long enough to throw open the
window, the better to hear the "mu-
SIC" 1t was cold, blowing and rain
ing.
"Tiensl" said the doctor; what
night for the boys in the trenches"
YES" his wife replied. How sorry
/ feel for them"
S-s-S-S-S-S-s-S. Bang!
That one went to Marin's, | think"
Lucky we are safe here"
S-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s. Boom!
"Not Far From Here, That One"
Another one, and not far from here,
either! Are the Prussians going to
lombard us forever? Why don't they
fire on the batteries? They only
waste their ammunition"
The bombardment eventually
stopped. and the couple went to bed.
to dream of screaming shells and
sugar at double price. In the morning
the doctor started on his round of
calls, and his wife climbed the stairs,
to open the windows and let in the
chance sunshine, which comes only oc-
casionally and stays only short time
In this wet country. Imagine her sur
prise to find that shell had exploded
In the house and had made maichwood
OF the furniture and woodwork of the
top story. A Kansas whirlwind is the
only rival of shell turned loose in a
house. The doctors house was mix
ture of plaster, rugs, beams, stones,
planks and tiles.
The marvel is that the wind and rain
had prevented the doctor and his wife
from knowing when their home was
hit.
War No Longer a Circus.
When the war first came to Pont.a-
Mousson it was like the arrival of a
circus The sleepy little town was for
once awakened from its lethargy and
furnished with big excitement. The
soldiers filled the street, crowding the
shops and flirting with the girls, who
were smitten with the brass buttons.
Gradually this has all changed. Food
began to rise in price. Many articles
became totally lacking. There was no
work, winter came on, and military
discipline drew the lines closer and
closer until now one is virtually a pris.

RECIPE TO CLEAR
A P|MPLY SKIN
Pimples Are Impurities Seeking
an Outlet Through Skin
Pores

Pimples, sores and boils usually re-
suit from toxins, poisons and impuri-
ties which are generated in the bowels
and then absorbed into the blood
through the very ducts which should
absorb only nourishment to sustain
the body.
1t is the function of the kidneys to
fl ter impurities from the blood and
cast them out in the form of urine, but
in many instances the bowels create
more toxins and impurities than the
kidneys can eliminate, then the blood
uses the skin pores as the next best
means of getting rid of these impuri-
ties which often break out all over
the skin in the form of pimples.
The surest way to clear the skin of
these eruptions, says noted author
ity, is to get from any pharmacy
about four ounces of Jad Salts and
take a tablespoonful in a glass of hot
water each morning before breakfast
for one week. This will prevent the
formation of toxins in the bowels. 1t
also stimulates the kidneys to normal
activity, thus coaXing them to filter
the blood of impurities and clearing
the skin of pimples
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless
ind is made from the acid of grapes
SIND lemon juice combined with lithia.
Here you have pleasant, effervescent
drink which usually makes pimples
disappear; cleanses the blood and is
excellent for the kidneys as well.-Ad-

GOOD ADVICE FOR THIN FOLIks


The trouble with most thin folks who
sist on drugging their stomach or stuff

useless flesh creams or following
some foolish physical culture stunt,
while the real cause of thinness goes
untouched. You cannot get fat until
your digestive tract assimilates the
food you eat.
Thanks to remarkable new scien-
tihc discovery, ii is now possible to
combine into simple form the very ele-
ments needed by the digestive organs
TO help them convert food into rich,
fat-laden blood. This master-stroke of
modern chemistry is called Sargol and
has been termed the greatest of flesh
builders. Sargol aims through it's re-
generative, reconstructive powers to
coax the stomach and intestines to lit
of your food and pass them into the
blood, where they are carried to every
starved, brok en- down cell and tissue
of your body. You can readily picture
the result when this amazing transfor-
nation has taken place and you notice
how your cheeks fill out, hollows about
your neck. shoulders and bust dis
pounds of solid, healthy flesh. Sargol
is absolutely harmless. inexpensive. eff

NO MORE RUNNING SORES
George \. Gorgas Sells An Ointment
Called San Cura That Is Posi-

1t matters not how old, persistent
or poisonous the sore is, San Cura
ointment the powerful antseptic, will

heal the sore.
So sure of this are the owners, the

will do. No fairer offer was ever
made.
3. d. Dutton, Titusville, Pa, says:
My arm was covered with twenty
four running sores and swollen to
twice its natural size. San Cura Oint-
ment relieved the pain, drew out the
poison and healed the arm in an in
credibly short time. 1t is the greatest
compound for healing l ever used"
The healing powers of San Cura
Ointment are little short of marvellous.

edv. Quality Street." with a great deal
of zest and pleasure. And the more
she worked over the play the happier
she seemed to be. Charles Frohman
once said that he never questioned the
judgment of Maude Adams, for he dis
covered that no matter what he thought
at the beginning. Miss Adams was
always right in the end. She has GER
tainly been right in figuring that the
play would again become popular, for
the demand for it since it's revival has
been great enough to push her other
plays into the background. Quality
Street" which Miss Adams is to give
at the Majestic tomorrow evening, will
be to many people a blessed relief from
the turgid drama. 1t is a charming
comedy of a long time ago, dealing
with lovable men and women and emo
tions that can stand the light of day.
