Communal Kitchens.

The latest proposal for the elimina- ton of waste in food and the supply of meals at minimum cost In England, includes, what for a better term is called, communal feeding. The com munal kitchen has been proposed on several occasions but, save for a few spasmodic experiments, it has not been given a thorough trial. Lord Rhondda is interested in the new proposal and acting with a committee of social workers he Is devising plans to give the scheme real test. With so many women doing war work and with con seuuent neglect of household duties, some such plan as is proposed fill have to be carried out if the rising generation is not to suffer seriously in health.

New Lamp Burns
 94% Air
Beats Electric or Gas

A new oil lamp that gives an amaz- ingly brilliant soft, white light, even better than gas or electricity, has been tested by the U. s. Government and 35 leading universities and found to be superior to 10 ordinary oil lamps. It burns without odor, smoke or noise no pumping up, is simple, clean, and safe. Burns 94 per cent air and six per cent common kerosene (coal oil).
 The inventor, z. E. Johnson, 29 N. Fifth St., Portland Oregon, is offering to send a lamp on 10 days FREE trial, or even to give one FREE to the first user in each locality, who will help him introduce it. Write him to- day for full particulars. Also ask him to explain how you can get the agency, and without experience or money make $25O to $500 per month.

LIQUlDATEs DEBT TO FRANCE
In Sending Prune Trees to Devastated Country, California Is Repaying
 an Obligation.

California is generously sending million and half two-year-old prune trees to help in restoring the French orchards, and enough seed beans to plant 6O,OOO acres. Canada is under taking the planting of thousands of Canadian naples in France. It Is pleasant also to know that there is to be no lack of outside help for the dev- astated towns, observes Christian Sci ence Monitor, in stating these facts. English and American architects are at work on plans for new buildings to replace those razed by the guns, both in Belgium and in France.
 The Indianapolis News sees senti- ment in the prune tree transaction. l. says: "These trees are expected to con- vert 15,000 acres into bearing orchards In two years. It was France which, In 1856, gave to California her first prune trees. The prune, which since then has filled many gap on the table of the American boarding houses, and has borne the brunt of many jest, keeps right on proving its worth"

Thrilling adventures of the old jour These Shifting Scenes" by Charles Edward Russell. These wanderers roamed from town to town, denounc- Ing everything ou side of New York as unit for consideration, and returning by way of freight trains once a year for visit to that Mecca of journalists. Mir. Russell describes a typical mem Der of the guild, one "Scotty."
 This solid and sorry ragamuffin had so often escaped violent death that he was convinced of destiny to die of disease and was far more fearful or drinking contaminated water than or riding on car trucks. Once as he clung to the bumpers of a freight car mad or intoxicated brakeman had fired live revolver shots at him and every shot had clipped or gone through Scotty's hat. Whereupon the brakeman, prob ably convinced that he had seen ghost, leaped from the train and was killed.
 pCfCid dl tiLueS OCOlly Iluu uCSh iA train wrecks. Once the car was on fire and he was pinned down by pile of joist, but two brakemen worked with frenzied zeal until they freed him and saved his life; and then pur- sued him down the track pelting him with coal for stealing a ride.
 His walking experiment was made in 1874 when business was depressed and the country was full of tramps. He joined colony of these and so great was the terror they inspired that the farmers used to come every morn- ing with presents of chicken and milk; but as a matter of fact the tramps were the most harmless of men.

Troops Suffered From Thirst.

Some of the hardships experienced by the British forces in Palestine are described in a letter received by a friend in Montreal from a priest. The letter. written shortly before the fall of Jerusalem, tells of a day early in November when camel convoy from Beersheba was unable to reach the men then fighting for the deliverance of the Holy City from the Turk.
 "There was hot wind blowing" wrote the priest. "A tumbler full of water was left in my bottle, which divided between four officers whose lips were split and covered with a green slime. That afternoon I had a burial service, and literally I could not articulate without keeping my hand to my mouth and pulling my lower lip off my teeth, while bullets from a concealed sniper whizzed past us. Tn the evening water came in enough to give each one bottle-quite made quate."
