Rations.


Just doing off; Mr.. Lance Corporal
butted in.
In Tommy's eyes lance corporal is
one degree below a private. In the
corporal's eyes he is one degree above
a general.
He ordered me to go with him and
help him draw the next days ratiOns,
also told me to take my waterproof.
Every evening, from each platoon or
machine-gun section, lance corporal
and private 60 to the quartermaster
sergeant at the company stores and
draw rations for the following day.
The quarter" as the quartermaster
sergeant is called, receives daily from
the orderly room Captains office) a
slip showing the number of men en-
titled to rations, so there is no chance
of putting anything over on him. Many
arguments take place between the
quarter" and the platoon noncom, but
the former always wins out. Tommy
says the quarter" got his job because
he was a burglar in civil life.
Then I spread the waterproof sheet
on the ground, while the quartermas-
ter's batman dumped the rations on it.
The corporal was smoking fag. I
carried the rations back to the billet.
The corporal was still smoking a fag.

LEMONS DO MAKE
THE SKIN white.
HOW TO MAKE A CREAMY LEMON
:. BEAUTY LOTION AT HOME
FOR A FEW CENTS.

Your grocer has the lemons and any
drug store or toilet counter will supply
you with three ounces of orchard white
for a few cents. Squeeze the juice Of
two fresh lemons into bottle, then put
in the orchard white and shake well.
This makes a quarter pint of the very
best lemon skin whitener and complex
ion beautifier known. Massage this fra
grant, creamy lotion daily into the face,
neck, arms and hands and just see how
freckles, tan, sallowness, redness and
roughness disappear and how smooth,
soft and white the skin becomes. Yes!
It is harmless, and the beautiful results
will surprise you.-Adv. .~...

Wouldn't Stand for That.

A good story is told by Sir Auck-

saloon loafer and a Canadian soldier
who bore on his shoulder the initials
&c. E." which stand for Candian en-
gineers.
The soldier, his face a study in con-
centrated wrathfulness, had the civil

apparently just on the point of giving
him a thrashing when q belated po-
liceman put in an appearance.

Help Save Sheep.

The dog rightfully holds a strong
place in the minds and affections Of
men. The owner of good dog finds
in him a most faithful friend. But 1t
sometimes happens that the dog most
highly esteemed is also one that kills
and worries the most sheep and Is the
most cunning in obscuring the evil
dences of his guilt. A well-bred dogs
habit of lying innocently asleep in the
front yard during the daytime is not
proof that the same dog does not kill
sheep at night. Because of the eco
nomic loss OccasiOned by sheep-killing
dogs, and because such dogs bring the
whole of their kind into bad repute,
the true admirers and friends Of this
animal should help to further any
steps likely to result in the limitation
of the activity of these discrediting
members OF q noble race. One of the
most practicable methods Of accom-
plishing this result seems to be to
place upon dogs such tax as will re-
duce the number Of superfluous ones
and result in fewer being kept by per-
sons who cannot or will not give them
the attention necessary to prevent the
formation of habits and associations
that lead to sheep killing.

SuppOsing the cook should have seen
him! After half an hour of unsuc-

the cook shack, being careful to put on
the cover. and returned to the billet
Pretty soon the cook poked his head
in the door and shouted: "Hey, Yank,
come out here and clean your dixie 7"
I protested that / had wasted half
hour on it already, and had used up

claimed: "Blow me, your shirt! Why
in didn't you use mud?"
Without word in reply got busy
with the mud, and soon my dixie was
bright and shining.
Most Of the afternoon was spent by
the men writing letters home. I used
my spare time to chop wood for the
cook and go with the quartermaster to
draw coal. I got back just in time to
issue our third meal, which consisted
Of hot tea. I rilsed out my dixie and
returned it to the cookhouse, and went
back to the billet with an exhilarated
feeling that my days labor was done.
I had fallen asleep on the straw when
once again the cook appeared in the
door of the billet with: "Blime me, you
Yanks are lazy. Who in - a-goin' to
draw the water for the mornin' tea?
Do you think I'm a-goin' to? Well,
I'm not" and he left. filled the dixie
with water from an old squeaking we'll,
and once again lay down in the straw.

BOSCHEE'S GERMAN SYRUP

Why use ordinary cough remedies,
when BOschee's German Syrup has
been used so successfully for fifty-one
years in all parts of the United
States for coughs, bronchitis, colds
settled in the throat, especially lung
troubles. 1t gives the patient good
nights rest, free from coughing, with
easy expectoration in the morning,
gives nature a chance to soothe the
infiamed parts, throw off the disease,
helping the patient to regain his
health. Made in America and sold for
more than half century.-Adv.
