MANY USES FOR sANDBAG
Soldiers Employ 1t in a Number of
Ways Besides What 1t Is OFF,
cialIy Intended Fer.

The sandbag is one of the most use
full pieces of military equipment found
anywhere and the soldier puts it to
manifold uses. Their official use. of
course. is to be filled with sand or clay
and built into ramparts, barbados
and trenches. Their unofficial uses are
legion.
The infantryman always uses sand
bag for carrying and storing his ra-
lions, for patching and reinforcing
his clothing for lining and curtaining
his dugout, for muiiing mallets and
stakes when putting up wire in No
Mans Land. They make excellent gal.

bad weather. They are used to cover
shrapnel helmets to prevent reflection.
and they are frequently in demand for
rifle covers.
Many soldiers always pull two sand
bags over their feet and legs when go
ing to bed in billets; in other words,
the sandbag is Tommy's pajamas. The
warmth and comfort of a burlap sand
bag when pulled over chilled feet is
astonishing.
The postman's mailbag at the front
is nothing more than an empty sand
bag, and the water carriers also use
two sandbags, slung back and front
over the shoulder, each containing a
petrol tin full of water

CAUSE AND CURE OF CRAMPS
Too n IN Blood Pressure Frequently
Brings Them on-RemoVed by
Vigorous Rubbing.

In this article we shall discuss only
the local muscular spasms that affect
most commonly the calves of the legs,
bur that sometimes occur in the thighs
the arms or the wall of the abdomen.
Internal cramps. or collie, swimmer S
cramp and writer's cramp are affec-
tons of an entirely different nature
A cramp, in this restricted sense. is
sudden. painful and very strong con-
traction of a small part of a muscle;
ii does not usually cause any move
ment in the effected limb. for to do
that a contraction of nearly the entire
muscle is necessary, and then we have
what is called a spasm, or a convul-
sion.
The contraction is involuntary. al
though persons who are subject to
cramps sometimes bring them on by a
voluntary movement such as stretch
ing. The early-morning cramp is Of
ten brought on by the stretching 20
which one is prone on awaking. Very
commonly the cramp comes on during
sleep. and the intense pain awakens
the sufferer with start The affected
part of the muscle forms a hard knot
and if a large part of the muscle is
involved the limb may be drawn up.
Children and the aged suffer more
often with cramps than do persons in
middle life. In children the cause is
usually violent exercise, such as run
ming and jumping, but in the elderly
a tendency to cramps is often caused
by incipient hardening Of the arteries.
When the blood pressure is high
cramps often occur, hut they cease to
trouble if the pressure is reduced.
Persons who are rheumatic and equity
are especially liable 10 be attacked by
cramps-very likely because hardening
IF the arteries accompanies their con
stitutional disposition.
The treatment of single cramp of
the calf is very simple; stand on tip.
toe in such way as to stretch the
calf muscle and at the same time rub
the place where the contraction has
occurred. That win put an end to
the attack promptly. If the attacks
recur frequently. there is probably
some constitutional fault that needs
correction. and the sufferer should con.
suit his physician-Youth's Compan-
ion.

blindness No Bar to Marriage.

The statistics as to age at which
sight is lost bring out some interest
nS facts concerning the extent to
Which marriage takes place among the
blind. The majority of those who have
not married before they lost their sight
continue single for the remainder of
their lives. But the fact that the per-
,entage single is higher among the
females who lost their sight before the
age of twenty than it is among the
males indicates that blindness is less
of h bar to marriage in the case of
males than of females, since, all other
Kings being equal, the percentage
'hould have been somewhat lower for
females by reason of the fact that
women ordinarily marry earlier than
nen. The figures show, however, that
while marriage is much less frequent

League of Elizabeth.
Both speakers talked on ~canvas5ing.
Mrs. Mrvlag as the first, put her en-
phasis on the fact that the greatest
thing that suffrage could do was to
campaign.

against 1t is answered by the showing
of the enrolment blanks, stating that
so many women in this district are for

Facts and figures she continued.
