The BRIGHT Eye,

Whoever watched the ways of Care

most of mirth and merriment;
To hope to have a happy way indeed

But Life is seldom bright and gay, the
going's seldom glorious.
When dull and faded in your eye and
ills are oft besetting you.
And SO you heave a weary sigh and
wonder what it's getting you!
Observe the really healthy boys and

they are.
They seem to find so many Joys In

They have no thought of Woe or Rue.

In which the Canadian troops rallied
ing through in what they hoped
would be a victorious march TO
Calais and BouIogne, will ever be
one of the most thrilling stories of
the world war. Nowadays the British
fairly battle the Germans In every
form of gas whenever the slightest
opportunity offers and prisoners all
say their losses in these attacks have
been alarmingly heavy. Gas is sent
over in creeping banks of fog, is shot
over in bombs that suddenly explode
in trenches and at entrances to dug
outs, while no billets or sleeping
quarters for troops in rest miles
back of the fighting line are safe
from the gas shells which are ever
knocking at their doors.
The bitterness of it all to the Ger
mans, however, is the fact that daily
they find they have less and less
rubber with which to construct their
gas masks. many of which are very
inferior and offer but poor protection
to the fighting men against gases
that constantly are becoming more
powerful.
Go Home To Roost.
Boiling and blazing oil drums
which they find exploding about them
in scalding and incendiary fury,
heavy shells which break over them
squirting streams of melted lead, are
other species of the dread chickens
of frightfulness that are daily flying
home to the German roost.
1t is small wonder that half-fin-
ished letters found on Germans in
the front lines dwell upon the terror
of the war, or that some go so far as
to speak a desperate envy of the
dead.

ment OF food supplies In case the
farmers and peasants failed to re-
lease their surplus products for the
use Of the city folk at the establish
ed maximum prices, there appears
to be a feeling among the rural
population that ii Is better to take
chances with the officiafs and hold
fast to the foodstuffs than TO hand
over almost everything and run the
risk of going hungry themselves be-
fore the new crops are in.
HOLDING BACK PRODUCTS
OF FARMS Is REPORTED.
In east Prussia some OF the local
officials have summoned the peasants
within their jurisdiction to meetings
in the churches and obtained their
signatures to pledges obligating
them to do their best in the line OF
turning over the foodstuffs they pro-
duce.
The Munchener Neueste Nachrich-
ten recently published some Ag-
ures showing the extent of the hold
ing back of foodstuffs in different
sections of the empire. In the Thorn
ers of 67.700 hens offered for sale
veterinarian reported that many
farmers having as many as is head
of cows did not furnish a single
quart of milk or a pound Of butter
for sale, although the cows were not
dry. The calves were being fatten-
ed on the best milk. and the hogs
got plenty of grain and rich milk.
In the Oppeln district from 1892
head of cattle only 500 pounds of
butter were delivered per week.
The mystery of where the butter
goes in many rural districts was
recently solved by some officials of
the food bureau, who discovered
farmers reducing 1t to soap, for
which they got from 81 to $1.25
pound. whereas the maximum price
for butter was so cents.
Comment upon the food situation
appearing in German papers shows
that no pains were spared to inn
press the people with the serious
ness Of the case and to emphasize

plies needed by the South Germans
themselves are finding life harder
than ever this season. Early in the
year Bavaria decided to exclude all
tourist traffic from neighboring
states during April, May and June,
except when the visitors carried
their rations with them. and asked
Baden and Wurttemberg to do like
wise. This action aroused such a
storm of Indignation in the Prussian
press that the authorities Of Prus-
STA got in touch with those Of the
South German states. and an ar
rangement was effected whereby
travel was to be limited as far as
possible to invalids who absolutely
required cure sojourns in South
Germany. Such food as South Ger
mans supply to these was TO be re
imbursed."
NATIONS OF VISITORS LIMIT

Except in the most urgent cases
visitors were to be limited to local
rations. while they might also re-
main for only a specific period. In
were to make their arrangements
at once in order that the authorities
might know in advance what special
arrangements were required.
1t is announced that railway trav-
cling in Germany this summer is to
be discouraged except in the case
of persons who must travel for their
health.
According to Swiss newspapers,
food is extremely scarce even in the
sanatoriums of south Germany.
They print an interview with an
aged German who recently left an
institution for nervous patients re-
duced to a physical wreck through
the diet of beets and turnips upon
which he had been compelled to
exist for months. The old man wept
for Joy when he found himself where
he was able to obtain a regular
meal.
