1t is remarked in the European
armies that by reason of faulty and
defective alimentation the fighting
men show an unusual amount Of dis
eases of functional impairment and
that night blindness is particularly
prevalent among the trench fighters.
Much of this functional impairment
is said to be due to the unbalanced
diet OF the troops; that is, lack OF
variety, and in winter to special
lack OF vegetables. The best-fed sol
dier in Europe is-doubtless the Briton,
who has a ration in which there is
not only sufiiclency of meat, but
fruits and vegetables are not forgot

records the fact that in the German
army night blindness is more marked
in winter than In summer. The pa
per recommends the use of fresh fruit
juices to make good this deficiency in
the winter months. Citrie acid lem

low smiles a knowing smile and shurgs
his shoulders He knows better, for
he has lived for thirty years in the
bush and knows all about the fighting
powers and propensities Of the bucks.
When his father, who, with his elder
brothers. was getting out logs. brought
him to the bush, he was a good-sized
lad He had seen a few deer shot,
bled and hung up, but he had been in
the bush some months before he had
his own adventure. 1t was in the
early winter.
One day Jim heard his dog barking
furiously in the nearby swamp, lie
seized his gun and went down, The
dog had a big buck at bay. and the
buck seemed to be enjoying the sport
quite as much as the dog. The dog
tried again and again to get a grip
on the deer but its horns we're always
in the way. Again and again the deer
rushed at the dog, but he always
lodged skillfully and snapped at the
deers legs It looked to Jim like a
case OF endurance; but the end came
with startling swiitness. Whether the
dog weakened or was caught off his
guard Jim never knew, but, like a
streak OF lightning the buck landed
on the dog with both sharp front feet.
There was a wild scresn, and the dog
lay perfectly still The deer continued

body to pieces with his kuifelike hoofs.
Jim put his gun to his shoulder aud

charged. Jim threw another cartridge
into the old-fashioned rife and fred
a second shot. That brought the buck
down with a crash
Jim drew his hunting knife and ran
to cut the deer's throat. He put his
knife on the deer's shoulder and had
barely touched the throat with the
knife when the animal sprang up. Jim
went flying into the snow over the
bucks head, and he lost his knife.
The deer whirIed round, and as Jim
tried to get to his feet It hit him IN

as Desert Waste.

From a forbiddlng, SUM- glazed, pow
erty-sordid wasteland, farmed where
naturally fertile barely for frugal
daily fare, into land OF numerous
farms and plantations, of ever-extend-
ing irrigation nets and increasing pro-
fusions of green and gold and russell
vegetation, is the story of Egypt's
progress under European leadership
during the past generation. Where
the fame Of Egypt of old was for thug
gerry and revolution, the modern land
was earning renown as a wonderful

England's kitchen garden, says a
statement given out by the National
Geographic society at Washington,
which discusses the Nile-land as the

miles of desert. and spreads out over
the wide delta today. with the people
OF the most productive countries in

For the past 30 years the progress OF
Nile control and OF great irrigation

try for strong competition in all of the
larger produce markets OF Europe.
The number OF farm holdings has
grown to about 100000 In land

holdings include 5,50O,O00 acres of

and its density of population at s3s
persons per square mile. Belgium, be-
fore the war the most thiokly settled
country In Europe. had a density OF
$50 per square mile. The enormous
growth in agricultural resources has
stimulated in Egypt an increase OF
population equaled by few other lands
in Old World areas besides Germany.
Cities, villages. roads. railways and
canals have sprung up out Of the
profits OF the Nile BONANZA farm.
At the time the war broke out irri-
cation projects were in prospect that
would have reclaimed nearly 2,000000
acres more OF land. The cost OF all

near the Socorro Island, off Mexico,
she struck a dead calm which lasted
81 days, during which time the ships

The calm was succeeded by a furi-
