coffee; also some bacon, just as an APP

The German. who hadn't been eating
breakfasts like that. began to place ii
ON the inside as fast as he could. Then
he asked for more beef and got 1t, more
butter and got it and more coffee.

Then he asked about dinner. He was
told that dinner was a fine event, ina
they always had meat and plenty OF
bread and potatoes and jam, or some
thing like that.
DO you get all you ask Tor:
Certainly; whatcha think?
"Is supper just as big?
He was told that supper, although
generally cold. was classic IN size
and prompt as time itself.
The German prisoner looked or INTO

a comfortable feeling beneath his belt-

Southern Fruits Rarely Seen.
Southern fruits are rarely seen on the

more varied list of DISCUSSES than eggs
ever had. or ever will have.
More and a greater variety of vege-
tables are eaten in Germany today

green's and potatoes are each consid-

Great quantities of plums. apples,

year. Bread. fish, fruit and vegetables

Thus. while the German war table is
undeniably a Spartan one, II is not a

.CANADA'S PARLIAMENT
IS FORMALLY OPENED
Duke of Devonshire, in Speech, Out
lines Policies for Dominion
as Outcome of War.

by the Associated Pfess.
OTTAWA, Ont. January 20.-With
the usual ceremonies. but less ostenta-
tious display. the twelfth parliament
Of Canada was yesterday opened for
its seventh session by the Duke of
pevonshire. governor general of the
Dominion.
Lack of accommodation in the tenn
porary quarters in the Victoria
memorial museum made it necessary to
eliminate the customary long list of
invitations and the usual brilliant as
semblage of consuls- general. church
dignitaries and deputy ministers was
absent. The Duke of Devonshire was
accompanied by his staff and after re-
ceiving the report of the committees
on election read his speech.
Directing attention to the fact that
the life of the present parliament will
expire in October, the governor-general
announced that a resolution would be
presented which would authorize and
request the enactment, by the British
parliament. of Legislation necessary to
enable Canada to avoid the "dstrac-
ton and confusion consequent upon a
general election at SO critical a time .
IN this way. he said. the wishes of the
Canadian people and the urgent re-
qulreinents Of war" would be best met

ings OF the war cabinet. the duke en-
phasised that Canada had accepted.
Dominion's Stability Maintained.

The commercial. industrial and fnan-
cial stability OF Canada had been main
tanned. the governor general said. and
there was every reason to believe that
the readjustment of conditions after
the war would be met, inasr.uch as
measures looking TO shat end were
now in preparation and would be con-
sidered during the present session.
The duke urged that. notwithstand-
ing the war. the approaching fftteth
anniversary of Canada's foundation
should be appropriately commemorated.
He concluded:
"In common with the rest OF the en-
pire, the people of this Dominion are
firmly resolved that in this war which
has entailed so much sacrifice and
which we have undertaken for the
highest ideals OF humanity and civili-
zation our efforts shall be continued
and strengthened until they are
crowned with an abiding peace.

Somewhere in France the Canadians
captured German soldier He wasn't
regular German soldier. but had
few notifications from the regular
Teuton fighter, owing to the fact he
had been a bartender on the Bowery,
and with all his pleasant broken Eng
lish he was as tough as they come
Now the Canadians and the English
think a great deal of what they are
going to eat after the battle. The
English, and the Canadian commissary
is possibly the greatest eating institu-
ton ever seen in warfare. and if the
allies ever go hungry. then perhaps the
days fighting will go against them
So they took this Bowery bartender
soldier back to the prison compound,
which was a field around which some
strands of barbed wire had been
stretched and gave him a breakfast,

Musterole is clean, white ointment,
made with the oil of mustard. It does all
the work of the old-fashioned mustard
plaster-does it better and does not bis

cloth. You simply rub It on-and usually
the pain is gone!
Many doctors and nurses use Muster
ole and recommend it to their patients.
They will gladly tell you what relief it
gives from sore throat, bronchitis, Group,
stiff neck, asthma, neuralgia, congestion,
pleurisy, rheumatism, lunbago, pains
and aches of the back or joints, sprains,
sore muscles, bruises, chifbiains, frosted
