eight months of the war were re-
ceived by the war department.

allies were outnumbered from
100000 to 100000, but that they
reached their peak on Septetn-

Rifle strength is the number
of "men In the trenches ready
to go over the top with the bay

American division Of 27,000 corn
bat troops is 1880. This shows
that the actual armies on the
western front totaled nor than
twice as many as the rifle
strength figures.
During the hard fighting from
September l, the Germans
losses were appalling, the fig

strength from 100000 to $780,

Water for House Plants.

Water is essential to the life Of
plants, whether they be in the open
ground or in pots, for only in the form
of solutions in water can the roots
suck up the juices Of the earth, and
it is the water circulating through the
channels Of the trunk and branches
that permits the exchanges between
the leaves and the rest of the vege-
table.
Plants in a house should not be
watered at regular stated intervals /;
DO the plants out-of-doors receive rain
on Tuesdays and Saturdays? They
should be watered whenever they need
it. This is the only safe rule. And
we can tell when they need it by feel
ing the earth in which they are grow
ing; so long as this feels moist the
plants do not need water.
