Rabbit As A New Food.

The rabbit is coming into his
own. From a despised pest he is
rising rapidly to the dignity of a
popular food. He is already re-
ceiving consideration in many
quarters, Australia has converted
this farm pest into food and today
frozen rabbits take third place in
her exports. Housekeepers have
discovered. too, the value of the
daptable rabbit which can be
roasted, fried, stewed. potted oil
turned into a pie. Indeed, it car
be used in as many forms as
chicken.

Will Stand By France.

Lloyd George says Great Britain
will stand by the French democracy
to the death in its demand for the
return Of Alsace. Lorraine This is
the attitude of the United States
also.
France bore the brunt of the
fighting while England was getting
ready. and she is still holding more
than half of the west front. While
it has not even been hinted that
the Enelish.speaking associated
belligerents" would fail to support
her in the just and proper demand
for a return of the territory taken
from her in 1870, France will be
stronger to withstand the coming
blows by reason of the British
PFsimier's utterance to the trades
unions Saturday.
Furthermore. as he truthfully
says. Alsace-Lorraine has been
sore which poisoned the peace of
Europe for half a century, and no
permanent adjustment, along the
lines of consent of the governed"
which is phrase brought into the
war by the United States and now
used by Entente statesmen on all
occasions, is possible while it re-
mains in German hands.

Benson's Brother Has Seen Hare
Fighting,

Lyle Benson, who has charge Of the
optical department at the Winters
jewelry store, received letter. from
his brother, D. w. Benson, who is
fighting with the Canadian forces in
France. He was enjoying fourteen
day furlough in London and took &C.
casion to give his views Of army life:
The young man is only % years OF
age. He has been in the trenches for
the past year with the heavy battery,
and fought in the Battle Of Lens and
other hard engagements. He tells Of
narrow escape which he had. The
day after he had gone to the rear, a
German shell struck the ammunition
behind the big gun with which he was
connected, exploding ia 9.2 shells,
1000 cartridges and blowing two guns
to pieces, killing 18 men. Fifteen men
were badly burned, five of whom died.
His battery is sometimes located
miles back of the trenches and some
times within 1900 to 1900 yards. He
