action on the part Of those near hiit
saved Lionel Gregory, the ~12-year-old
son OF a Lake county farmer, from a
terrible death in the cylinder of d
threshing machine while it was in OPP.
Grafton. The boy was standing on
the feeding board of the machine and
in some names lost his footing and
slipped into the cylinder opening. H1
evidently drew his feet close to his
body when he slipped, for the teeth,
which were in rapid revolution, sliced
gashes on the inner side of his legf
without injuring his feet. The boy
had no sooner slipped than the me !
on the feeding board realized his perth
and the boy had no more than touched
the swiftly moving teeth than he wal
rescued.

During a poisonous gas attack
smoke Is employed to ward off
the fumes Being considerably heav-
Ter than the poisonous gases general
ly employed, q barrage Of smoke
causes the dangerous fumes to pass
Owe trenches and dugouts and to dis

Dous of War.

The canine department in the French
army is a command in itself; its four
footed recruits are enrolled almost
more carefully than real soldiers. They
have an official record, a number, an
identity plate, and are never lost sight
OF. The dogs already have their roll
of honor. Several have been cited in
orders for having saved whole COM
panles by their sagacity; others have
enabled surprises to be brought off as
well as avoided. AS liaison agents
they are invaluable. while as ammuni-
ton carriers they are practically in
dispensable. While few of them can
never get used to shot and shell, the
majority quickly get as case-hardened
as old soldiers. A dog carrying a mes
sage through a terrific barrage dre has
been seen blown into the air, to come
down with thud that made 1t sense
less, to remain stunned a while, then
pick itself up, give itself good shake.

Apple Butter Saves Surplus.

Do not let the surplus apples go to
waste, make them into apple butter.
Summer apples make splendid apple
butter, even without the use of boiled
cider. which, however, is a desirable
addition if it can be obtained. Pare,
core and cut up the apples add little
water and stew into apple sauce. Let
this simmer gently at the back of the
stove for several hours, stirring oc-
casionally as needed to prevent stick
ing. When 1t is two-thirds done add
one pound of white or brown sugar to
each gallon. After cooking thick
enough, stir In spices to taste. Pack
In sterilized containers and cover with
melted parafiin.
If sweet cider is to be used boil it
down to half the original volume. By
boiling it to thick lump, less sugar
is required. To each gallon of sweet
cider use a gallon of pared, cored and
sliced apples. Either add these to the
boiled cider and begin cooking, or
stew them into apple sauce and add
the sauce to the boiled cider. Cook
gently but stir often for two hours,
then add a half pound of sugar to each
gallon of product, or use no sugar.
Continue cooking and stirring until
thick enough, stir in spices to taste,
pack in sterilized containers and cover
with melted paraffin.
