If there is much evidence to show that such par

Before answering this question let us look at the

confidently say that the American troops fighting
side by side with their gallant French comrades have
proved what they can do and past successes give
ground for future hope.

Inside Information About Noses.

Inside Information About Noses.
Be IL a Grecian, Roman, snub or
pug, your nose is an indispensable
organ. You can't get along without
It even if you only thrust it into
other peoples business. From its
position at the geographic center
of the physiognomy and its general
interior plumbing we may conclude
that the nose is destined to serve
four great ends: % air intake, (2)
radiator, (3) humidifier, "a dust
filter. OF course there are minor
purposes also served, such as the
sense of smell, signaling, etc, and
in some ways the nose is a coward
ly organ, for when surprised in a
compromising position it is almost
sure to run. But the four func-
tons mentioned constitute the only
essential purpose of the nose.
AS a genera rule an organ per-
forms that function best which it
is most frequently called upon to
perform. For instance, The average
tongue whispers scandals more sin
cerely even if less stridently than
it intones the Lords prayer. And
so with the nose-it takes in air
much more satisfactorily than it
warns, moistens or clarifies the air.
The front door. of the nose is open
to all the world and the back door
overlooks the roof of the pharnyx
or throat. The front door is usual
ly kept much cleaner than the back
door, cause it is much easier of ac-
cess. In general it is not advisable
to flush or spray the nose with a
view to preventing disease, for the
natural secretions are more effec-
lively germicidal than any antisep-
tics which may be safely put into
the nose. 1t is never advisable to
snuff fluids into the nostrils, be-
cause this often eXcftes ear inf1am-
nation or infection through the
Eustachian tubes which connect
the back of the nose cavity with the
inner (middle) ear cavity In blow
ing the nose only one side should
be blown at a time, by pressing the
upper nostril shut; this avoids con-
costing the ear apparatus or fore
ing infective secretions into the
Eustachian tube

A Big Total.

Judging by present conditions the pension list of
Great Britan-and indeed of some of the allied pow
ers-will enormous proportions by the end
of the war.
In March last England paid pensions to 943,O77
persons, 336,5S1 being men and 6O6,496 women; and
during recent debate in the house of commons the
minister of finance stated that he had for long time
past been daily dealing out 1000 war claims for
pensions 1t will be remembered that national old
age pension fund has for some years been in opera
