Children who do not get milk. but

10 cconomize on milk, more children

things that. under amy and every con-
dition, the government regards Il as

Music 4 War Horror.

A grim story is told Of an air raid on
Paris. If its truth were not youched
for by the most respectable authority
would say that 1t was an invention
of De Maupassant in his most macnbre
vein. While the work of rescue was
going on by candle light in one Of the
houses which had suffered most the
crowd was suddenly Mortified by the
defiant notes OF the "Rakoczy March,"
blared out apparently by a strong brass
band. Every one was aghast Mt SO
brutal an insult till the tenant Of a
fiat on an upper floor said that he had
an orchestrion which played that par
ticular tune. The explosion must have
set 1t In motion. At the risk OF their
lives some firemen managed to reach
the machine, but In the dirk. and not
knowing about its mechanism, they
could not stop II. It went on till the
floor on which it stood collapsed.

Women to Prove Their Heroism.

What with keeping the wolf from

overrun Europe, England has been hav-
Ing a tolerably busy time. But, un-
daunted, she Is now engaged In a cru
SADIE to keep the rats from her food,

Of England which was recently deliv-
cred before the women's department
Of the National Civic federation.
II In listing the residences of the
rodent population Of 4O,OO0.0OO upon
whom war 10 being relentlessly waged
the women served as census takers and
went without chairs upon which to
stand at the first sound Of a mouse's
squeak, 1t Is evidence of the heights
OF herOism to which the necessities OF
battle have lifted them.
