Battle of Alma.

Sixty years ago soldiers Of Britain
and France, fighting side by side,
achieved one of the most brilliant VIC
tories in the annals Of war Never
has the valiant fighting spirit of the
British troops been better shown than
when, on September TO- 1854. they
waded through the River Alma.
amidst a shower OF bullets, fought
their way up the precipitous banks on
the other side of the river and, hav-
ing burst through the dense under
growth of vineyards, drove back the
Russians, who were led by Prince
Menschikoff.
The British troops we're Led by LORD
Raglan and the French by Marsnai
st. Arnaud. Three thousand three
hundred of the allies were killed and
wounded, heavy loss when one con-
siders that the British forces num-
bered only about twenty-seven thou
sand and the French thirty thousand.

Serving Salads.

Salads should be served often.

variety OF food combinations Do

salad. II one has few leftover
vegetables that have been in the
icebox and are "ice cold most
delicious salad is possible. Salads
should be served crisp and cold.
Salad dressings should also be
cold.
When arranging salad in q dish
handle IL with care. DO not press
into shape
Almost any refrigerator VIII have
at least two OF the following arti-
cles Of food Lettuce, celery. cab
bage. beets, endive. olives, baked
beans. lima beans or string beans,
cooked carrots or even carrots
minced raw. cooked potato. Any of
these may be combined.
Most salads are improved by a
little onion or garlic. Meat salads
need more accurate measuring than
those made Of vegetables. and more
care must be used In combination.
=, Chicken salad should be made OF
two-thirds celery TO one.third chick.
en-. Veal salad should be made OF
equal quantities of meat and celery.
Fish salads are best combined with
celery or crisp cabbage and the
proportion should be reversed using
two-thirds Ash to one of vegetable
Almost any combination will be
accepted by your family if you will
see to It that the salad is crisp and
cold.

Sfppen was driving a wagon and =nlae ambulance driver, Aubrey B1r1isoa, repeatedly sounded the siren but Sip pen insisted on taking up most of fine roadway. He claimed in the city court this morning that he .1id not know it was the ambulance an.1 that he believed that it was some ..fresh' autoist who wanted to get by him..
 Loss of a life was narrowly asyerteds The ambulance was on the was7sto St. Vincent's hospital with a patient suffering from an attack oe apoplexy. When the ambulance dropped into the ditch the patient was severely shaken up and Dr.. Finnegan, in charge, at first feared that the shock would be fatal.

 AYERS NEIGHB0RS
PIay1nates Struck Deformed Child With Slivery Stick,
 Stratfelders Say.

That Edward Anderson, aged 16, who died of Iockjaw last evening in the Bridgeport hospital, was pummelled by playnates and blow from a sliv- cry stick was the cause of his death, is asserted by neighbors of the family near Pierce stxeet, Stratheld district.
 Edward, a delicate hunchback, sue cu1nbed last night to tetanus devel- -opedz from an injury he received last Tuesday while bathing in Moody's pond
 According to the assertions of those who live near the Andersons, he was the recipient of blows from other chill dren while in the water and one stroke with a, stick, between his knee and hip on the left leg, left a. silver in his flesh.
 At the Bridgeport hospital this afr ternon it was said this story is denied, and that the child fell on the stick while playing. Another version of the story is that he was cut by a shell.
 When Edward returned last Tuesday from the swimming trip, he bore a. wound on his left leg. He complained next day of feeling i'll and Dr. James E. Hair was called. He saw that the ch1ld's jaw was locking and he told the parents to have him removed irnm medi- ate1y to the hospital. This was not done untiY the latter part of the week, and as a result of the lack of early hospital treatnoent, the child died last tight. e
