GRIM GAS BATTLES FOUGHT
Asphyxiatino Shells Fired In Great
Quantities by Both Sides in Struo-
giles on British Front.

Andre TudesQ, writing Of the battles
on the British front, says there was
such an expenditure of asphyxiating
shells one day that six hours after the
last deluge of them suffocating smells
were still passed through.
Lavish expenditure of gas on both
sides form characteristic Of the fu-
riOus attacks and counter attacks
which have been delivered day and
night round these two villages. The
mask Is here as precious as the
grenade or the rifle.
AS in frightful carnival, in the
manner of Edgar Allan Poe, one could
see in the night on the slopes west of
FresnOy entire regiments in mastks,
fighting and killing each other in the
midst of black vapors, which were
rendered more fantastic by the light Of
the moon.
The hand-to-hand struggle thus took
on most singular forms. Throwing
away their arms the combatants would
fly at each others throats and try to
tear away each others masks. Few
prisoners were taken in these encoun-
tiers, and the wounded are fewer still.

easily taken and so welcome that sus-
tanning foods may be thus given TO
those suffering from various causes.
In illness the attending physician
should be consulted as to the kind of
drink to give, as serious results often
happen from unwise judgment. One
young man lost his life by taking a
drink of grape juice when he was well
past the crisis in typhoid fever, ac-
cOrding to the testimony of his fam
lily. One cannot use too great care In
treatment of convaleScence. Bever-
ages as well as everything else pre-
pared for the Invalid should be pre-.
sented In the most acceptable form.
Even well trained housemaids fail to
give the right touch to foods The
thin glass, the pretty plate, the dolly
which accompanies well prepared
and cooling drink is very important.
Acid drinks made from fruit juices
are especially refreshing to fever pa
tients. Lemon and Orangeade are the
most commonly used, as these fruits
are found everywhere. Other fruits
may be used separately or in COM
bination with others, as raspberry and
currants, form most delightful shrub,
to bottle for winter use. Lemonade
made In the usual way and to which
quarter of cupful of grape juice is
added makes most refreshing drink.
A half cupful Of pineapple juice or
grated pineapple gives variety to
glass Of lemonade. A pinch of soda
added to lemonade, stirring it thorough
ly, will be good substitute for effer-
vescing water.
Egg lemonades are so well known
that it hardly seems worth while to
speak of them, yet they are very valu-
able. An egg may be digested this
way and given often when other food
will be refused. There are other drinks
like cocoa, chocolate and albuminous
beverages which are all cooling and
nourishing as wen.

THE SALUTE AND ITS sIeNIFI
cANcE-

As soon as the new soldier is able
to take his eyes on his feet and his
step, he GEES that he is elbow to elbow
with other soldiers. He sees that he
belongs to an organization. He sees
that he has a definite place In that
organization. The more constantly
that he can be reminded Of his place
In the organization, the more adequate
ly will he I'LL 1t. That is, the more ad-
equately will he fill 1t II he Is an alert,
intelligent American soldier.
The structure Of the organization,
when a unit is not drawn up at atten-
ton, is instilled In his mind through
military hOnors and courtesies. This
is epltOmized in the salute. The sa-
lutte is not a symbol Of inferiority, Il
is a simple reminder of the soldiers
place in the scheme of the organiza-
ton. 1t is a reminder Of the authority
to which he must at all times be sub
1ect, II there is to be discipline; and
it is a recognition Of the source Of
that authority.
The soldier salutes commissioned Of
ficers-frOm second lieutenant to gen.
eral. He does not salute nOncommis.
stoned Officers-corporals and ser.
geants. But he grants them defer
ence and obedience, nevertheless, in a
limited degree, which keeps the chain
Of authority intact.
The salute not only is no symbol Of
inferiority, but is a privilege. Only a
soldier in good standing is entitled to
salute his officers and to receive the
officers acknowledgment in return. A
soldier under arrest cannot salute.
The salute Is performed at present
with the right hand only. The move
ment must be executed "smartly." A
tagging, ragged salute is no real mill
tary courtesy. 1t Is nearer to an af-
front. For it is neither courteous nor
military. The right hand. therefore,

Is raised "smartly," until the tip of the
forefinger touches the brlm of the hat
or cap-at least the lower part of
the headdreSs--Or the forehead above
the right eye, thumb and ingers ex-
tended and joined, palm slightly in
clined to the left. The forearm is In
clined at an angle Of about As degrees,
with the hand and wrist straight. At
the same time the soldier must look
toward the officer saluted, and stand
at attention, except for the hand
raised in salute. When his salute has
been acknowledged, he drops his hand
"smartly" to his side.
Salutes are exchanged between Off
GERS and enlisted men as they meet
each other, except when they are in
military formation, or at drill, at work,
playing games, or at mess, At these
times, only, it is not necessary to ex-
change salutes. If, however, the Off
Ger speaks to soldier at drill or at
work, or the man speaks to the officer,
he gives the prescribed salute with the
weapon he carries, or, if unarmed, with
his right hand as above described.
The new soldier should become pro.
1icient in the salute and the rests af-
ter few earnest efforts; they are
among the simplest movements re-
quired Of the soldier.
When a soldier is at attention, the
position may be relaxed by the com.
mand "at rest" or "at ease" On re-
ceiving the former command, the sol
dier keeps one foot in place, but is per.
mitted to move the rest Of his body
at will and talk, until he receives the
command attention" At the command
"at ease," the soldier may do as when
he receives the command "at rest" with
the exception that he must maintain
silence. From these two positions he
must spring instantly to attention and
command.
Parade rest is ceremonial posi-
tion of rest, and in the same general
category as the salute. at the com
mand "parade rest" carry the right
foot six inches straight to the rear, left
knee slightly bent; clasp the hands
without cOnstraint in front of the cen.
ter of the body; fingers Joined, left
hand uppermost, left thumb clasped by
the thumb and forefnger of the right
hand; preserve silence and steadiness
of position. A common fault is for
the soldier to lean backward when
assuming this position. When execut-
ed properly, the upper part Of the sol
dier's body and his head are held in
the position of attention.

ton, lack of assimilation of food and
Il clOgged condition of the alimentary
canal.
The value of bran and whole-wheat
bread is not appreciated by one in ten
thousand. The portion of the wheat
which contains the mineral matter,
the growth determinant" about which
we are hearing so much these days,
are sifted out and fed to the farm
animals.
Those who have Indigestion should
not combine acid fruits or foods of any
kind containing acid with starch, as
this causes fermentation. To eat food
which needs long chewing is very adj
vantageOus; sloppy, soft foods encour-
age bad habits in mastication. The
starchy foods need to be we'll mixed
with the saliva in order to have a per-
feet digestion. Starch that has not
been we'll inSalivaSed sets up fermentn-
tion in the stomach. Whole wheat
bread is more solid than white bread,
hence it Is better masticated and tile
saliva penetrates the starch cells. The
use of vegetable oils FOR shortening in-
stead Of animal fats is also an advau.
tage, as the heat does not affect them
as it does such fats, as butter or LARD.
Take a spoonful of bran in your
breakfast food, you will not know It
is there, and you have presented your
stomach and intestines with splendid
scrub brush which will clean and
heal any inhamed section of the
alimentary canal. 1t is never wise to
change u diet entirely and suddenly
unless under physicians orders, for
habit is hard master. Going with
out meal or two each week is
good custom, and economical. This
will apply to well ncurished and plump
people who have plenty of reserve.
Fasting and prayer should not be a
forgotten privilege, as It so commonly
has be Gn in the near past.

shallow pan Il half hour. Serve with
tomato sauce.
Rice served hot with grated cheese
makes good substitute for potatoes,
and buttered rice with minced parsley
will take the place of parsley potatoes.
Cucumbers are usually served fresh
and crisp, but are excellent when
stewed or baked. A well-seasoned
cream sauce or a Hollandaise is espe-
cially good with the cooked cucum-
Der.
Cheese is a most nutritive food
which we are slow to appreciate. AS a
meat substitute it, has no equal, being
concentrated food without waste.

HOW AND WHY, THE SOLDIER
CHANGES STEP AND DIREc-
TION.

The 30-inch stcp-knOwn as "quick
time"-is the basis of all military
movement. Nevertheless, a soldier
should be no more absolutely confined
to this step than baseball player is
to, say, base-running. Otherwise, a
soldier could not charge.
For this reason double time" is pro-
vided. The "double time" step (there
is no "double-Quick') is SO inches. 1t
is executed at a cadence of 190 steps
a minute.
There is, in addition, the "rout STEP"
for the march, whereby each man can
take the step which suits him best ;
yet after long training in the quick
time," he will find that his rout step
will approximate that measure. There
is also the shalt STEP" Is inches in
quick time, Is in double time.
At the command of "chargei" either
from standing position, the quick
step, or double time, the soldier breaks
into full run, in which the step is
governed only by the reach of his legs.
For the sans reasons that all mill
tary movements cannot be reduced to
u single cadence, it is no more prac-
ticable to limit a soldier to a single
direction of advance. For this, the SOL
dier is taught the side step and the
back step, the "left face" fright face"
and "about face"
The side step, under the command
"right STEP" consists of carrying the
right Is inches to the right and bring
ing the left foot up beside it until COM
manded to halt"
"Left step" is, of course, the reverse
Of fright STEP" The back step is ex-
ecuted by taking steps Is inches to
rear at the command, Backward,
march !" and continuing until brought
ito halt. The side step and the back
step are almost invariably confined to
short distances, and employed for the
purpose of dressing a line. All steps,
except "right STEP" begin with the left
foot.
The facings "right," 'Ieft," and
"about" are executed from the posi-
tion of attention. In fright face" raise
the left heel and the right toe slight
ly; face to the right, turning on the
right heel, assisted by slight pres
sure on the ball Of the left foot; place
the left foot by the side of the right.
The cleft face" is the converse Of this
movement. "Right Oeft) half face" is
executed similarly to an angle of As
degrees.
"About face" consists in carrying the
toe Of the right foot half-foot length
to the rear and slightly to the left of
the left heel without changing the po-
sition of the left foot; face to the rear,
turning to the right on the left heel
and right toe; place the right heel by
the side Of the left.

LEGAL Opinion Of Poker.

A judge in johannesburg, South Af-
rca, was recently required to give
Judgment in a case which involved a
decision as to whether poker is an lln-
lawful game. The case arose out of
II raid on premises known as the Greek
National club. The magistrate held
that, although poker might not be a
card game of mere chance, it was GER
talnly not game of mere skill, and he
quoted English authorities TO tLs eff
feet that a game OF cards which was
not game Of mere skill was unlawful.
