general interest and illustrated stories
of the work of the land army.
That the experience of these girls VIII
give a strong impetus to the back to
the farm movement is already shown
in innumerable little ways.
Many of the girls are planning.
when their soldier boys, to whom they
are engaged, return home, to settle on
little farm, and many women whose
husbands are doing their bit at the
front have declared their intention OK
taking up farm work permanently
when the men return.
Many inquiries have come to the
committees from young women, who
have expressed a desire to continue
farming in one of England's colonies
after the war, and the government has
been asked what, If any. arrangements
have been made to meet this request.
In answer to such a request the fol-
lowing appeared in recent number OF
the official farm magazine:
"Nothing very definite can be done
In this matter until after the war; bur
a register is being prepared at head
quarters of the names, addresses and
qualifications of those girls who wish
to take up this work. When the war
IS over the various colonial govern.
ments will be approached with a view
to obtaining special facilities In the
colonies for all the girls whose names
are on this register"
SO. no longer is there a question as
to farm work for women being an ac-
cepted or recognized occupation. The
woman farmer OF England has come to
stay. Will the American woman fol-

WHY
Quiet Little Belgian City Is
But a Memory

Newport lies upon the User. the tidal
stream that stopped the German rush
for Calais. That June before the
world went mad the peaceful town
drowsed in the sun-tne pearly Bel
gian sun that painters love. The men
went down to the sea In their fishing
boats. or worked their fields old wom
en-. their lace upon their knees, sat In
a patch of shade before the door and
piled their bobbins: children, with
shrill sweet voices. darted about like
birds; the creaking vain went to and
fro piled high with the harvest Four
thousand simple folk. excIaims a writer
in the Atlantic. Not one remains.
Their houses. too. are gone. Their an
cient church, their historic tower, are
mounds of ruin. And still the Kissing
shells, hour by hour. day by day, tear
down the crumbling walls, adding fresh
ruin to a scene most desolate. The
people of the sun are gone. Another
race inhabits there. They live in holes
beneath the ground. They come not
forth except to kill.

ITALIANS FIGHT IN ARMoR
How improvements in Defensive be.
vices Have Been Made During the
Long Conflict in Europe.

mo belligerent has shown more re-
sourcefuIness than the italian in de-
yising novel means of offense and de-
fense." says writer in Wide World
Magazine. "The italian army was
the only one to enter the war with
a trench helmet and steel chest-pro-
tector, and it is now provided with a
more efficient body shield than is pos
sessed by any other of the warning ma
tons. Early in the war it was dis
covered by the Italians that many lives
could be saved in diminishing at close
quarters If the soldiers carried or
pushed bags of sand in front of them,
and the present body shield has been
an outgrowth of that idea. They are
made in the one-man and twO-map
type. The former are worn by infan-
try advancing in the open, attached to
the shoulders by a pair of light steel
arms. and are long enough to protect
the head and vital organs of man
standing erect. Lying at full length,
or even crouching, it covers him COM
pletely. Each shield is pierced with a
small, round eyehole and an oblong
loophole for firing from. both of which
may be closed by sliding door when
not in use. The two-man shield is
principally used in wire cutting. 1t is
carried on the back of one man, who
may also work his rifle from loop
hole in the top, while a second man
works long wire cutter through a
hole at the bottom. It is bcid up by
short legs if the first man desires to
move independently"

AND NOW THEY ARE COOKING
 TOBACCO TO MAKE IT BETTER

For good many years The American Tobacco Company have been conducting a series of experiments having as their object the improvement of smoking tobaccos.
 And it is interesting to know that one of the greatest of their discoveries was one of the simplest and that was, that cooking or toasting tobacco improved it in every way, just as cooking most foods improves them.
 They took real Burley tobacco, grown in this country; toasted it as you would toast bread; moistened it to replace the natural moisture driven off by toasting: made it into cigarettes. called them LUCKY STRIKE, the toasted cigarette" !" and offered them to the public.
 Theresult has been the greatest demand ever created for any tobacco product in a similar length of time.
 The change produced by toasting is not only most wholesome, but the flavor is greatly improved, just as cooking improves meat, for example.

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications. as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear There is only one way to cure catarrhal deafness, and that is by constitutional remedy. Catarrhal Deafness is caused by an i'm famed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is infiamed you have a rumbling sound or inn- perfect hearing. and when 1t is entirely closed, Deafness is the result. Unless the inflammation can be reduced and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever. Many cases of deafness are caused by catarrh. which is inhamed condition of the mucous sur faces Halls Catarrh Medicine acts thru the blood on the mucous surfaces of the system
 We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Catarrhal Deafness that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Medicine. Cir- cularD free. All Druggists. 75c.
