BILE to the allies"
While the fields back of Verdun are
rich with yellow grain, yet there is
one melancholy evidence of the war
in the burning Of manure, usually the
very life-blood Of the soil. The grain
can be gathered by the soldiers and
the women who remain, but there is no
time to distribute the manure over the
land, and so it is burned.
The last glimpse of Verdun came as
the party passed a detachment of
French soldiers, just out of the
trenches and going to the rear for
rest They were tired and heavily
laden, but happy and cheerful as they
swung along in irregular ranks, laugh
ing and smoking as though they came
from some agreeable occupation. They
were all fine looking young fellows,
and they typified that calm and in
vincible spirit which the young French
soldiers are putting into their ser
vice.

People who are confined within

invigorating air and exercise must
take precaution to guard against over
stoutness, as fat acquired by indoor
life is unhealthy and danger to
the vital organs Of the body. Lack
of exercise in the fresh air is said
to weaken the oxygen carrying power
of the blood, so that 1t is unable to
produce strong muscles and vitality
and the formation of unsightly and
unhealthy fat is the result.

its full value cannot be known at this
