When They 60 Over the Top.

AT length the minute arrives and

French soldier when he advances wears
his thick overcoat and carrier SUI

especially when the objective is the
capture Of an enemy position, for the
enemy generally opens a barrage fire
which prevents supplies from going
Toward without enormous loss Of

carries his rife and bayonet, several
pouches OF cartridges. a number of hand
Srenades and his entrenching tools.
The pace at which the successive
waves of infantry advances is neces-
sarily slow. but. even so, the officers
and non-coms have sometimes to check
the impetuosity Of the men, who other
wise might walk right into the curtain

sweeps before them gradually and
forces the enemy 70 seek shelter
Naturally, such an advance is not
made without losses. for the enemy ar

barrage which searches out the ground
over which the French are advancing.

No Excitement Before Attack.

A glance at the troops when they as
semble in the front line in preparation
for an operation shows an absence of
excitement. In most cases the men par
ticipating in a big attack have been
brought from the cantonnentS in the
rear only few hours before they are
ordered to go over Arrived in the front
line they crouch and sit and lie down
as we'll as they can in the muddy and
often partly demolished trenches and
advanced saps. waiting for their Off
GERS TO give the word that means death
or wounds for probably many of their
number. Meanwhile, in most cases the
Germans, made aware of the approach
ing attack by the increase of the
French artillery fire. are throwing into
the French front line hundreds and
thousands of high-explosive shells and
trench mortar bombs.
In spite of the heavy firing and it's
accompanying casualties among the
French troops, the men awaiting the
final order remain impasSive. Most of
them have been over the top before and
know the inevitable cost of an advance
across no mans land and an assault on
The enemy's lines. Their GOODNESS in
face of these perils is marvellous. Some
of them smoke: others take a sip from
their water bottles: still others look to
the sights and breecheS of their rifles
or overhaul their hand grenades All
the time their non-comS and officers
lust as cool-headed as the men, walk
acout among them, passing a cheering
word here or giving a little advice
tnere- and from time to time consulting
their watches SO as not to miss the
time fixed for the attack, for success
depends on their absolute punctuality.

humorlne People Isn't Pieasant

"Humoring a man" sounds like a pleasant and comfortable thing, but when one links humOring with the question of who makes the money, 1t does not seem very f;attering +o the humorer or the humoree, says writer in the Woman's Home Companion And what lamentable sight is that of the humoree. what deep inequality 1t implies and what an absence of any real respect O. understanding between two people in whose lives humoring Is a part of the daily routineI When the one to be humored is woman 1t may mean that man has been forced into the craven part of doing anything for the sake of peace. There are few concessions some men will not make 70 avoid a domestic storm. Some un fortunate men there are who even give up vital friendships, legitimate forms of recreation, and even their own individualities in this unworthy cause.

When Silence ls Golden

When you don't know, keep silence On such occasions silence is golden. The man who cannot control hlmself Is not d free man. He is the sport of every wind that blows. He is for some thing when he has just talked with man who is for it. He is quite as strongly against it after listening to one who is against 1t and will be Just as ready to change again under some other persons influence. His opinion Is valueless because 1t is never h's own. It is we'll to think carefully of sub- ject before expressing an opinion on 1t. Do not allow yourself to be influenced by spacious reasoning, still less by talk in which thTe Is no reason. Tha more important tha subject, the moro oced of self e.f-control.-Exchange.

The jnterestinu Loon.

The loor is one of the most beauti' full and graceful of the wild water fowl. ri~aling >he wood duck in the markings of it's plumage. On the Northern lakes there is no bird that can dive quicker or swim faster. Awk- ward and clumsy on land. but so active and alert is it in the water that it can dodge bullets. ''rhe loon is q cousin to the beaver" says John Bur- rougns. "It has the feathers of a bird and the fur nf an animal, and tho heart of hoth. Ii is as quick and cunning as 1t is bod and ycsolute. When disabled so that it can neither dive nor fly. it is said to face it's foe. look at him ir the face with fits clear, piercing eye, and fight rcsoiutely till death.

Everyone should drink hot water with phosphate In It,

 If you catch cold easily, it's your liver. If you catch cold easily, it's yiur liver. If you wake up with bad taste, fur red tongue, nasty breath or stomach becomes rancid, it's your liver. Sal low skin, muddy complexion. watery eyes all denote liver uncieanliness. Your liver is the most important, also the most abused and neglected organ of the body. Few know it's function or how to release the dammed-up body waste, bile and toxins. Most folks resort to violent calOmel, which is a dangerous, salivating chemical which can only be used occasionally because 1t accumulates in the tissues, also attacks the bones.
 Every man and woman, sick or well, should drink each morning be- fore breakfast, glass of hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phos- plldLc ll u, tO WdoAl lIoiit l"C '.Si and bowels the previous days indlg- estible material, the poisons, sour bile and toxins thus cleansing, sweet ening and freshening the entire ali mentary canal before putting more food into tfTe stomach.
 Limestone phosphate does not re- strict the diet lil.e calomel, because it can not salivate, for it is harmless and you can eat anything afterwards.
 It is inexpensive and almost tasteless. and any pharmacist will sell you a quarter pound, which is sufficient for a demonstration of now hot water and limestone phosphate cleans, stimu- lates and freshens the liver, keeping you feeling fit day in and day out. (Advt.)

IcIltale Eyes and Toes.

The eyes tell the story of guilt when all the other muscles are controlled. This you will learn in the eleventh chapter of Darwin's book. Sometimes, when the face is controlled, as in the case of natives of India, other muscles are uncomfortable. Sir Eenry Maine declares that in India the judge can tell when a native is lying by watch ing his toes. He keeps his face per fectly straight and his eyes express sionless, but his toes begin to wiggie as soon as he begins to lie.

Wastira one's Time.

It Is probable that a large per cent of the money paid for work in all em- ploymen+s, public and private, is vast ed in idling, talking, smoking and fo0' ing around. It can be noticed every day everywhere. It is bad symptom, saws the Ohio State Journal. There is no difference between stealing ones time and stealing ones money. Peo' pie are aot in the habit of looking at 1t that way. They think 1t is nothing to take ten minutes of mans time for which he is paid three to ten dol lars day. If one remembers the old adage that time is money, he will coli' clude he is a thief if he takes either. Character consists in making honest use cf ones time. whether he works on a salary or by the minute. It IS character that he insist upon, not so much the economy involved as the mo- bility of seifhood. That should be >tae treasure of every true man.
 "seoze" First Meant "Drink."
 The word ''booze" came to us before the fourteenth century, seemingly from the Dutch, in the form "bous" or ''bouse." At that time, as noun or verb, it meant merely "drink," and to speak of a gentleman as housing his wine was not ibelous or even deroga- .oiy, writes Robert r. Utter in liar. per's Magazine. Somehow 1t acquired the added suggestion of excess and bad company, and by the time of Shakespeare we find 1t in glossaries of tho argot of thieves and gypsles. The process may be understood when we think of the sinister meaning we often attach to the simple word drink" which might coneeivably run the same course if we misuse It often enough.

The average weight Of the three-year-
old deer, dressed, is 15O pounds.
More than 10 per cent Of the reindeer
in Alaska are surplus males.
The amount of reindeer to be
shipped this year, TO be sure, will not
be sufficient to make an appreciable
dent in the price of other meats, but
considering that reindeer double
their number every three years, be-
sides leaving 10 per cent of the entire
herd for market, it will be seen that
these Northern animals soon will be-
come factor in the economic affairs
