today. That is, if you were so hungry
that you thought you could not last
out the day on your regular share, you
would tell someone else that if he gave
you half his share today you would
give, him all of yours tomorrow. If he
was a gambler he would take you up.
That is, he would gamble on his being
alive tomorrow, not on your keeping
your word. He knew you would come
across with your ration the next day,
and like as not, if you tried to keep 1t
from him, he would kill you, and no.
body would blame him.
It certainly was hard, when the next
day came, to give up your whole ration
and go without that day. But I never
saw man hedge, or even speak OF it.
And we did not have any food pirates
among US either: we were not captains
of industry by any means.
There were times when some of us
could not eat certain of our rations.
For instance, many and many time
[ was as hungry as anybody could be,
and I wanted to eat my bread, but it
seemed as if I could not get it into
my mouth. Then would trade it with
someone else for his shadow soup or
his barley coffee.
We were dying every day in Bran
denburg and after each death the
senior men of that Barracks would de-
tail twelve of their humber to go out
for half an hour and dig the grave,
while others made little crosses, on
which they wrote or carved the mans
name, when he was captured, and his
! regiment or ship. In the middle of
the cross were always the letters,
r. l. P.-Rest in Peace.
| One time we were ordered to report
to the German doctors for q serum
treatment of some kind-to receive an
injection, in other words. There was
no choice about it this time, as we
were simply herded together to the
these things were like and how brutal
the German doctors were in giving an
injection, so I wanted to be the very
first man and not have to witness the
other men getting theirs.
So 1 pushed up to the head of the
line, with the crew of H. NJ. S. Nomad,
who had been captured in the Jutland
/ battle, and by the time we got to the
hospital was the very first man in line.
But the sentry threw me back and
| there were several men ahead of me.
Each of them barred his chest and the
doctors slashed them across the breast
with a very thin knife, so you cam see
that it was very painful. When ii
came to my turn they slashed me three
times in the shape of a triangle just to
one side of the breast. And that was
all there was to it-nO injection, moth
ing on the knife that l could see.
Now, do not know what the idea
was. Every man Of US was dizzy fo1
the rest of the day and could not dc
anything but lay around the barracks
And hardly any of US bied a drop

CHILD'S TONGUE
BECOMES COATED

When cross, feverish and sick
give california Syrup

Children love this "fruit laxa-
tive" and nothing else cleanses the
tender stomach, liver and bowels so
nicely.
A child simply will not stop play
ing to empty the bowels, and the re-
suit is, they become tightly clogged
with waste, liver gets sluggish, stom-
ach sours, then your little one be-
comes cross, half-sick, feverish,
don't eat, sleep or act naturally,
breath is bad, system full Of cold,
has sore throat, stomach-ache or
diarrhoea. Listen, Mother! See if
tongue is coated, then give a tea
spoonful of california Syrup of
Figs" and in a few hours all the con-
stipated waste, sour bile and undi-
gested food passes out of the sys-
tenn, and you have a well playful
child again.
Millions Of mothers give "Cali-
fornia Syrup Of Figs" because it is
perfectly harmless; children love it,
and it never fails to act on the stom-
ach, liver and bowels.
Ask your druggist for bottle Of
California Syrup of Figs" which
has full directions for babies, chill
dren of all ages and for grown-ups
plainly printed on the bottle. Be-
ware of counterfeits sold here. Get
the genuine, made by California
Fig Syrup Company" Refuse any
other kind with contempt.--Adv.

It's amusing. At the Rialto one
evening this little girl sat right
across from us and her hat was dear.
1t was large and foppy, the material
being green felt (the crown and top
of the brim checked and the under.
part just plain green). A little of
the plain formed ring around the
top and a satin button was in the
center of that. I think it would be
very becoming to almost any school
girl, though.

Mother KNOWS.

Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee:
I am a young girl Of 16 and have
many boy friends. Whenever | am
at dance they all want to take me
home and l refuse all Of them, for
think I'm quite young yet. Now,
Miss Fairfax, do you think I did
right or wrong by refusing the young
men. and also. Is it proper to go and
dance with a stranger?
I also want to ask you these ques-
ton: Is 1t proper for me to go out
riding at night? A few of the young
men called me up asking me to go
and / refused them because my
mother thinks me too young to go
out at night. Now, Miss Fairfax,
what shall l do not to get the boys
angry, for some of them are al
ready? And also. is it proper for a
young girl of my age to kiss a fellow
goodby. or let the young man take
you around the neck? l would not
allow it and have made several Of
the young men feel sore. Miss Fair
fax, do you think I did right?
BLUE EYED L.
Your mother is certainly right.
AS a general rule a girl can depend
pretty much on her mothers judy
ment, as mother has been a girl her
self and understands the ways of
girls and boys from past experience
Ask her what 70 should do. Dance
with no strangers. unless they are
properly introduced and vouched for
by some responsible older person
If the boys are angry at your refusa
to disobey your mother they are not
worth caring about. You are better
off without friends than with those
whose influence is bad. Do not al
low the familiarities you mention
from anyone. The boy who feels
"sore" is not the kind whose COM
pany is of value to you. So many
little girls like you seem to like an
unhealthy atmosphere of false sem
timent.
Too Young for Sentiment.
Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee:
I am a girl of Is and l like boy
who is of my age very mrch. He is
very nice and polite, and is it ali
right for me to have this boy take
me home from our different high
school parties. ETC.? Is it all right
for him to kiss me goodnight?
There is another girl who also likes
this boy. / think he likes her a lit
tie better than me. What can I do
to make him like me the best?
NJ. L.
If the boy wants to take you home
it is perfectly proper for you to al
low him to do so. 1t is not right nor
proper for him to kiss you good
night. You are merely children as
yet. Why not remember the fact
and act like children? Forget
whether the boy likes you or your
little friend better and all go to-
gether. No doubt the boy likes her
better because she Is frank and girl
ish and does not try to act grown-up
and sentimental. Dear little girl,
don't lose the best part of your girl
hood by trying to grow up before
your time.
Canteen Work.
Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee:
Is there any age limit attached to
canteen work? Does the govern
ment pay your travelling expenses?
To whom can l write for informa-
ton? ANXIOUS.
For overseas canteen work the age
limits are rs to IS years. For es-
pecially well qualified girls the Red
Cross will pay expenses, or part of
them. You can write to Mrs. W. T.
KountZe, Nebraska State Red Cross,
and she will give you all the
in regard to Red Cross
canteen work.

If your sugar g gone, You can get
some more by going to the food ad-
ministration's Office in the Union

and half white corn syrup. There
is no reason why the jelly should not

minutes before putting the sugar in
and then boil 1t about five minutes
after the sugar Is dissolved. Don't
use genatine for jellies that are to

roots of a plant. The assistant direc-
tor of the New York state farm bu-
reau has finally devised a simple and
cheap way to foil his activities. This
is it: J..
What should be used is a collar
or cylinder of heavy paper or light
p%asteboard or cardboard. five or SIX
inches in diameter. made from a strip
about eighteen inches in length n
three or four inches wide. The ends
should be brought together and over
lap enough to leave no opening. n
no fastening is necessary. as the
ground will serve to hold the con-
trivance together. This collar is set
into the dirt to a depth of about two
inches. and wherever it is used it IS
practically certain that there will be
no cutworm depredations."
This paper or cardboard bastion Is
the trench embankment which keeps
the enemy cutworm away from the
young plants. Il is effective ia New
York state. and should work just as
we'll in the war gardens in Idaho
