 A law prohibiting the use of pastry flour went into effect last week. It happened that I had occasion to visit a city not more than hundred kilos back from the line for the purpose of getting electric light fixtures and you should have seen the supply of fancy French pastries, tarts, cakes macca- rooms, etc., that I laid in. The shops were closing out their stocks which suspect had been augmented to the limit in anticipation of the new law
 That city, by the way, was not gay Farce, but it possesses ample facilities for having a good time. The French civilians are the most naively spok- en people I ever met up with. Two of our boys who speak French with the fluency of natives were kept busy explaining the Gaelic witticisms which were highly amusing to the American mind. The citizens are strong for Americans and go out of their way to make things pleasant for us.

It was originally a steel tank which we hauled out of the ruins of sugar mill. Now it 1s very passable habitation. What it does not possess all the comforts of home, it really has many conveniences, including a prl' vate bath, water heater (almost nstantantaneous) with a spigot, a cook stove, a pantry and clothes l press. At first I missed the steam and comfortable mattresses Of the American Hotel, but one can get used to anything in time-even to sleeping in a sack and breaking the ice in the water pail. Eacn morning I find the inside surface of my door covered with a heavy white frost sucn as we were wont to see on the outside of julep cup in the good old days before Arkansas went dry. The front of the shack is the only portion not banked with cath, and consequently the steel door plate goes down to zero when the fire is out, However, its ouarter-inch thickness makes It shrapnel proof, so I should worry about the cold.

Yesterday papers quote eggs at seven pence (fourteen cents) each in England.
