QUEEN MOTHER SERVED TEA
The British Tommy Stood at Atten'
ton When He Recognized His
Royal Hostess.

He was very thirsty, and the tea
looked delightfully."- refreshing. But he
glanced at the woman who waited on
him and something made him pause.
Suddenly he knew. 1t was Queen Alex
andra. The queen mother, so modest
ly and so kindly, was showing her
gratitude to the empires fighting men
by waiting on them in their newest
London rest hut He stood to atten-
tion and gravely saluted.
He was one of party of men who
had Just come from Victoria station,
tired and worn, and they were glad to
be the first visitors at the hut in
Grosvenor Gardens, which was opened
recently. So far the Royal News have
been the only accommodation avail
able for the troops coming to and de-
parting from Victoria station, but this
splendid club is now available for
them within a minutes walk OF the
station.
The queen mother, who was accom-
panied by Princess Victoria, was
greatly interested in the cubicles.
Nearly hundreds beds are ready, and
close by are hot baths-a great luxury
after the mud at the front. There is
a brightly fitted up recreation room,
with comfortable chairs and tables,
where hours of leave that would other
wise prove SO weary can be happily
wiled away.
There is staff of eight voluntary
workers, who, under the direction of

GLASS OF WATER
Upset Her.

People who don't know about food
should never be allowed to feed per
sons with weak stomachs
Sometime ago a young woman who
lives in Me. had an attack of scarlet
fever and when convalescing was per
mitted to eat anything she wanted.
Indiscriminate feeding soon put her
back in bed with severe stomach and
kidney trouble
There l stayed" she says, three
months, with my stomach in such con-
dition that could take only few tea
spoonfuls of milk or beef juice at
time. Finally Grape-Nuts was brought
to my attention and asked my doc.
tor if l might eat it. He said, yes
and / commenced at once.
"The food did me good from the
start and was soon out of bed and re-
covered from the stomach trouble. /

to do all household duties, some days
sitting down only long enough to eat
my meals. / can eat anything that
one ought to eat, but / still continue
to eat Grape-Nuts at breakfast and
supper and like it better every day.
Considering that could stand only
short time, and that glass Of water
seemed so heavy am fully satisfied
that Grape-Nuts has been everything
to me and that my return to health
is due to it.
81 have told several friends having
nervous or stomach trouble what
Grape-Nuts did for me and in every
case they speak highly of the food"

Return TO Flint and Steel.

On account of the steady increase in
the price of matches, hint rocks and
steel are being sold in large quantities
at Soochow, in the Shanghai consular
district, according to Consul General
Sammons. A large number of shops
are now selling these substitutes for
matches, and many peddlers are also
making a living disposing Of these ar
ticles in and about the district This
business has been so successful that
some Of the Chinese retail dealers be-
lieve that in due course, flint and
Eteel may ultimately supersede match
es, particularly SO long as most Of the
products of this kind are imported
from abroad. The imports Of matches
into China decreased from S4,70000O
in 1918 tc S3,3OO,OOO in 1914. Japan
furnishing approximately rs per cent
of this supply.

silence OF those vast solitudes Of the
upper air, where never a sound is
heard save the voices Of the elements
at war among themselves-a silence
that rang with an accent as dreadful
as If it were the very crack of doom.
And, its propeller no longer gripping
the air the aeroplane drifted on at
eyer-lessening speed, until at length
1t had no way whatever, and rested
without motion of any sort, as it might
have been in the cup of some mighty
and invisible hand
Then, with a little shudder of hesita-
ton, the planes dipped forward-n-
clined slightly earthward-an began
slowly and at first, as If reluctantly,
to slip down the long and empty chun-
nels of the air.
At this, rousing, Lanyard became
aware of his own voice y9mmering
wildly at Vauquelin:
Good God. man! Why did you do
that?"
Vauquelin answered only with pale
grimace and a barely perceptible
shrug
Momentarily gathering momentum,
the bplane sped downward with re-
sistlcss rush. with the speed of
great wind with a speed so great that
when Lanyard again attempted speech
the breath was whipped from his lips
and he could utter no sound.

refilled and passed to Lanyard
The raw spirits stung like fire, but
proved an instant aid to the badly
tangled nerves of the adventurer. In
another moment he was much more
himself.
Drinking in turn, Wertheimer put
away the flask. That's better!" he
commented. Now / shall be able to
cut along with this blessed machine
without fretting over the fate of Elk
strom. But till now | haven't been
able to forget"
He paused and drew a hand across
his eyes.
1T was, then, Ekstrom-you think?'
Lanyard demanded.
Unquestionably! De Morbihan had
learned-I know-of your bargain with
Ducroy; and l know, too, that he and
Ekstrom spent each morning in the
hangers at t.-Germain-en-Laye after
your sensational escape. 1t never en-
tered my head, of course, that they
had any such insane scheme brewing
as that-else | would never have so
giddily arranged with Ducroy-through
the surete, of course-to take Vauuue-
Inns place Besides, who else could
it have been? Not De Morbihan, for
he's crippled for life, thanks to that
affair in the Bois; not Popinot, who
was on his way to the Sante, last saw
of him; and never Bannon-he was
dead before left Paris for Port Avia-

"Oh, quite!" the Englishman af-

that brought on a fatal hemorrhage.
He died within ten minutes"
There was a little silence.

Englishman resumed, looking up from

void, they swept down and ever down
in long series of sickening swoops,
broken by pauses of negligible dura-
tion. And though they approached it
on long slant, the floor of vapor rose
to meet Them with the rapidity of a
mighty, rushing wave; and in trice
the biplano was lowering an instant
before plunging down into its cold,
gray heart.
In that flash of hesitation, while still
the adventurer gasped for breath and
paved at his streaming eyes with an
aching hand, pierced through and

than It had seemed; blurs of color
peered through it's folds of gauze, and
with these the rounded summit of a
brownish knoll.
Then they lunged on, down out Of
the bleak, bright sunshine into the
cool twilight depths of clinging va
pors; and the good green earth lifted
its warm bosom to receive them
Tilting its nose, fluttering as though
undecided, the Parrott settled grace
fully, with scarcely a jar, upon wide
sweep of untitled land covered with
short, coarse grass.
For some time the three remained in
their perches like petrified things
quite moveless, and-with the possible
exception of the aviator-hardly con-
scious.
But presently Lanyard became aware
