This. though a small forward
movement, marks the first perma-

in France. The consolidation of the
trenches enables the Americans and
French to operate from higher
ground than heretofore.
The Germans made only feeble at
tempts to retake the position, but
each time were repulsed.

blood of the dead Germans threw on
a ghostly phosphorescent glow.
The battalion repulsed three strong
attacks, then some of the men feil
exhausted at the sight of Hauton's
rescuers.
Every man wrote final letter to
his wife. sweetheart or mother, none
of them expecting to get out alive.
These letters were exchangd in the
chance that some one might possibly
escape. The notes were scrubbed on
bits Of paper in the face of the Boche
fire.
Not a fire was lighted during the
five days, on account of the danger
of revealing their exact position.
Sometimes parties Of Germans came
so close the American could hear
them talking. The Americans never
talked above whispers.

How 10 Save Food

In these days when tine high cost
of living pinches nearly every home,
no waste should be overlooked. one
of the most fragrant and the most
easily prevented, is the destruction
of food by rats. One rat will often
do a hundred dollars damage Of food
and property in single night, and
careful estimate gives over $780,
600 900 as the value of foodstuffs de-
stroyed annually by these pests. Elk
terminate them with Stearns' Elec-
trio Paste and save this enormous
loss of food A small box of Stearns'
Electric Paste costs only few cents
and is usually enough to completely
rid the house of rats and mice; also
effective against cockroaches APP
waterbugs.
