filled with the spirit Of adventure,
looking forward rather than back.
Now. however, the fighting. Is Mt an

OF them, many months doing work
which will be neither exciting nor

seen swimming in the sea. Two Of
these were picked up by the Germans.
One of these men, John Francis Muir
ply, is now held as a prisoner by the

GOT HIM STARTED
Wife's Conversation May Have
Been for Effect.
While She DepIored the Average Mans
Lack of knowledge Of Tools He
Evidently Had Been Doing
Some Thinking.

The woman put down the magazine
she had been reading and addressed
herself TO the family in general.

Ing simple repairs tn the plumbing, In
taking care OF the furnace, in hang
ing curtains. making shelves and do
ing other carpentering work. just as
girls should be taught how to cook
and keep house"
At this her husband looked self-con-
scious and he resumed his reading with
an ostentatious air of absorption, so
that his better half was fain TO con-
tive sister who sat by.
Especially when one lives in the
country should a husband have had
some manual training" she went on.
For instance, last week we found 1t
impossible to turn off one of the spig-
OTIS that fills the bathtub. 4 full
stream Of water ran from 1t all day.

and he replied that was not to bother.
for he would fix 1t as soon as he came
home.
when he reached home that even

more to check the water than | had

The plumber examined the leak, said
that the washer on the spigot had

But / had no washer - what Is a

plumber had to come out from town
again. He brought with him long
stick with a rubber cup on the end OF
It, placed this cup over the vent in the

bill for this piece of work was $3.50.

Under the above heading the Detroit
Free Press, among other things says:
1.-The theory is that soldiers whose feet
are in good condition can walk further
and faster than soldiers who have corns
and bunions incased in rawhide."
The Plattsburg Camp Manual advises
men in training to shake Foot-Ease IN
their shoes each morning.
One war relief committee reports, of all
the things sent out in their Comfort Bags
or "Kits," Aliens Foot-Ease received
the most praise from the soldiers and
men of the navy. 1t is used by American,
French and British troops, because it
takes the Friction from the Shoe and
freshens the feet. There is nofoot CON-
forter equal to Aliens Foot-Ease, the
antiseptic, healing powder to be shaken
into the shoes and sprink,ed in the foot
bath, the standard remedy for over 25
years for hot, tired, aching, perspiring,
