JOFFRE, JELLlCOE AND
 NAPOLEON.

General Joffre, hero of the Marne, no longer commands the French arm ies. He hasn't been at the helm for some time.
 Admiral Jellicoe, erstwhile first sea lord of the British admiralty, has been "elevated" to the peerage. He has been succeeded by Wemyss.
 In the words of the New York Times, "the war takes all a man can give, then kicks him out. and it is somebody else's turn"
 In our civil war there was lots of "kicking out" before Grant stopped the kicking. In the South there was no kicking because Lee was too good for the boot.
 We cannot help thinking sometimes that the dismissals from high com. mand are sometimes ill advised.
 In the Napoleonic days, there is scarcely a doubt that if anyone had had the power, Napoleon would have been discharged" on several notable occasions.
 For Napoleon was glutton for punishment as we'll as victory. He was the greatest "come packer" the world ever saw, and if anyone could have bowled him out just after dis aster" the history of the world would have been different and there would have been decidedly fewer books writ ten about the Corsican.

a wheatless or meatless day (which is mot even compulsory by law), think over these extracts from a recent food administration bulletin:
 "The sale and use of cream was pro- hibited in Great Britain by govern ment order after December 8, except for infants, invalids and for butter making. The retail price of milk was raised under governmental authority from IA to 16 cents per quart in Great Britain on the 1st of December.
 Switzerland is a neutral country, but it none the less enduring the usual food shortage prevailing in war-strick en Europe. The people there are now being rationed at one pound of sugar per month per person; rice cards are issued which allow one pound per month per person; the bread cards al low one-half pound of bread per per- son per day.
 Coffee now being sold in Germany lis of three grades only: one 50 per cent coffee, one 25 per cent coffee, and one 10 per cent coffee. A new substi- tute has been found for tea in the shape of dried pear and apple peel. The milk ration of the children of Ber- lin has been reduced one-third.
 "In Hungary, in addition to the meatless days, Fridays and Mondays have now been ordained fastlcss days. The small amount of privately owned fats is selling for $3 pound upward" We like to talk about making sac lrifices for Uncle Sam. and we like to think that we are enduring untold hardships to help along the war. As a matter of simple fact, we haven't the slightest conception of what hard ship and deprivation mean-as the people of Europe today know them.

Cold. Dry Air Healthful.

Cold, dry air Is generally considered healthful and stimulating by medical authorities. Metabolic processes are active, and If the body is properly pro. tected against excessive heat loss, sen. sations of well-being are dominant.

WRITE CAREFUL LETTERS

Unhappy, discontented soldiers do not win battles.
 It is therefore necessary that our men at the front and in camps be kept happy and contented.
 The folks at home can help by writ ing cheerful letters.
 It has been mentioned time and again; but can not be emphasized too frequently.
 Tell your boy in khaki all the neigh borhood gossip you know of; tell him about his friends, of the things he holds dear but which he has left be. hind.
 In this way you will be helping Uncle Sam to win the war.

"Booxen First Meant "Drlnk.n

6o0ze" fvr6t Meant OFlnk.
 The word "booze'' came to us before the fourteenth century, seemingly from the Dutch, in the form "bous" or "bouse." At that time, as noun or verb, it meant merely "drink," and to speak of gentleman as focusing" his wine was not libelous or even deroga. lory, writes Robert r. Utter in Har- per's Magazine. Somehow 1t acquired the added suggestion of excess and bad company, and by the time of Shakespeare we find 1t in glossaries of the argot of thieves and gypsies. The process may be understood when we think of the sinister meaning we often attach to the simple word drink" which might conceivably run the same course if we misuse 1t often enough.
