from shock when a shell on the
western front in France laid him
out and killed 20 of his buddies.
Before leaving London Peter had
become engaged to

Nan to go away while her husband

meets Peter and

also home recovering from a wound.
They drop into a tea shop and Nan
leaves their table to buy some

THIRSTY ONES TREK
TO CANADIAN OAS|S|
TRY Montreal First" Slogan
Starts Invasion From Arid
! United States.
BY ROBERT Il. SMALL.

MONTREAL, Quebec, June S.
The great Summer rush of thirsty
Americans to this Northern temple
~ tipple is on in earnest, with a
promise that all previous records
will be broken Already some OF the
New York trains have arrived-and
: departed--in five and six sections.
Propaganda against Americans
going to Europe is under way here.
The slogan of the new publicity will
be ''Try Montreal first There is
much to see up here. There is, for
instance, the house where the
American Revolutionary Army once
was quartered when it invaded the
Canadian provinces. The house isn't
big enough to hold the American
army" that is in quebec today. Far
from it. The search of the parched,
from below the border. for the new
freedom" has taken on enormous pro-
portions.
AS a result of this wet American
invasion there is to be found a great
prohibition sentiment IN Montreal.
But II is a sentiment which favors
the continuance Of Nolsteadism in the
United States They are even think
ing of erecting a monument to Mr..
fits American prohibition has brought
10 this province.
Quebec frankly admits that up TO
the time national prohibition took
effect in the United States, and
liquor control system was put into
effect here. the province was some
thing like 100 years behind the times
Within the last five Ec9"S every
thing has been changed. Fine roads
have been built IN 81 directions. pub
liC improvements have been wrought
There is a search OH at the moment

The financial success of govern
ment-controlled sale OF liquor, wine
and beers in Quebec. however, would
be no criterion for the United States
Montreal draws Its principal liquor
revenues from the United States. 1t
has been estimated ana with admit
ted truth. that fully 80 per cent of
the hard" liquor sold in the gov
ernnent commission houses here,
goes to American purchasers. Mon
treaI and Quebec are growing rich
off alien gold. II the United States
had the Quebec liquor system il
would have 10 depend upon its own
people for patronage and there would

Clerks at the hotels who receive
the daily army from the South are
always prepared for the first question:

necessary-or even more, if the trav-
elers insist.
If the thirsty ones are seeking high
spirits, like whisky or gin or brandy,
they must go to one Of the branch
stores Of the Quebec Liquor Commis-
sion. Generally this latter quest is
postponed until after breakfast.
And it is at breakfast in the big
dining rooms that the visiting Ameri-
can gets his first shock or surprise.
He looks around as If he expected
everybody to be drinking some sort OF
beverage forbidden below the boundary
line. 1t seems strange to him that IL
wines and beers are available at q
mere nod to the walters they are not
being served at every table. But they
are nowhere in sight. The truth is
that after his first day in Montreal the
American takes his drinking in a
more deliberate and sensible manner.
He may indulge that wild desire for
champagne for breakfast the day OF
landing, but next day he waits until
luncheon, and possibly the third day
he waits until dinner. He discovers
that the reai luxury of his drinking
is the leisureliness of it,

Finger Nails.

The problem of keeping the finger
nails not only presentable but as pink
and artificially perfect as present fash
ion demands has been largely solved
for the modern woman by the inven-
ton Of cuticle solvents, polishes that
stay glossy for weeks. beaches that
take off any sort of stains and similar
quick aids to smartness.
There are dozens of ways of mani
curing the nails, and my best advice
is for you to try them all. and decide
which of the quick methods suits you
best. If your cuticle is tough" or
grows fast, undoubtedly the cuticle
solvents will help you. There are
about 20 varieties of these. Probably
you use some variety already, for /
am told that of a canvass Of women
readers Of magazines something like
80 out Of every hundred said they did
their nails at home, at least most of
the time. and Of the 80. an enormous
percentage, we'll over three-quarters
of them, said they used cuticle sol
vents of one sort or another
It's quick and easy, of course, TO
run n little nice-looking lotion around
your nails with an orange-wood stick
or a little cotton wool. rub it off or
wash it off and have clean. neat look
ing nails as a result. In using vari-
Gus kinds I've never yet found that
scissors weren't needed. for little bits
of cuticle are brought up that have to
be clipped of. Still. they do make the
scissors less necessary.

BEAUTY CHATS BY EDNA KENT FORBES

But there is one warning. WhaI
ever You use for removing unWanted
cuticle from around the nails, follow
il by cold cream or some oil. for all
solvents are drying. Wash off the
nails after using it, and then rub on
cold cream. Push back the Cuticle
with the blunt end Of an orange
wood stick, and wipe off what is left
of the cream.
Polish with paste or powder to fin
ish up your manicure.
Beauty Seeker-It is not necessary
that YOU have YOUR nails manicured
by a professional, for you can learn
10 do it yourself. and home mani
curing can be very satisfactory. Fol
low the professional method as far a
you can, but invent all sorts of little
ways to help yourself when YOU must

of using the file All loose edges Of

person, or there is danger Of cutting
too deeply and causing irritation

Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELpRED

Mrs. j. s. writes:
L read your column with interest
ana L thought you might be able to
give me some advice. Nv hahy 10
-FOUR months old and weighs nine and
one half pounds. having weighed a
little over five at birth. She seams
well and sleeps good and just gets
one feeding at night and never have
20 take her up or out Of her bed.
what worries me is that she vomits
up nearly all of her food. If she goes
10 sleep after feeding she keeps it
nearly all down, but if she STAYS
awake she vomits. She doesn't seem
10 feel sick. She has done this ever
since she was month old. When she
was put on the bottle she did not gain
anything the first six weeks. I am
feeding her four tablespoons Of milk
and four of barley water.
What would YOU advise"
Answer.
One seldom encounters such con.
f1lctlng symptoms. The baby is very
badly nourished and hardly gets
enough to nourish a newborn baby.
You surely must give her something
to eat besides four tablespoons Of milk
and four of barley water Do YOU
by any chance, mean four ounces of
each? This at least would account
for the vomiting and it might be
possible that the child would be a.
stationary weight from too great a
quantity Of food and a bad formula.
Although I am quite at sea, it seems
to me that what you need is to re-
the baby's diet in some way,
and the only way 1 can help YOU is
to ask you to please send me full de-
tails of how YOU feed the baby: and
when. The child needs at least IA
or 10 ounces of milk daily and the
same amount Of water, plus one-half
ounce OF corn syrup or some other
sugar. Put this into five bottles and
feed at s, 10. 2, 6 and 10. Feed this
way; if she still vomits. then one
will have to look further for that
cause. If you are still nursing her
the extra feeding may be just sur.
plus. You see. I can do nothing but
guess out loud.

pack. Anywhere is better than here
with Shadow the Weasel about"
Now. Danny had Intended to make
straight for the strawstack in the
oarnyard, and, after he reached that,
decide where to go next. But he
didn't get to that strawstack. You
see he caught ,. glimpse of Shadow
the Weasel, and that was enough 10
make him turn in the opposite direc-
ton. My, my. my, how he and Nanny
ala run. 1t was surprising how fast
those short legs of theirs could go.
They were SO frightened that they
didn't pay any attention 10 where
they We're going. They Rad but one
thought, and that was to get as far
as possible from Shadow the Weasel.
80 II was that, instead CT leaving the
barn from the back as they had in
tended to, they came TO the 'front.' door.
IL was open a crack. Danny slipped
through with Nanny right at his
heels. Danny looked around hastily.
A short distance away was another
great building. 1t was Farmer Brown, 8
house. Danny didn't know this, but
he did Know that usually there were
hiding places under any big building.
He didn't dare sit still III broad day
light; 80 he led the way across the
dooryard straight to the back porch
OF Farmer Browns house. There was
hole under 1t. With little sigh of
relief he dived through that hole with
Nanny at his heels. 1t was quite
dark under that porch, and it was dry
and comfortable. 'NVell stay here"
whispered Danny, until we have d
chance to decide what It IS best to do
I don't believe Shadow will come over
here. He will stay in that harm as
long as there are any Rats there My,
but I'm glad to get away from there"'
Nanny was just about to reply in
that funny, squeaky little voice of
hers, but instead she gave the 1aintest
of gasps. Peering in at that hole
through which they had come were
two greenish eyes. At least, that lis
the way they looked to Danny and
Nanny. They had seen those eyes
before. They had seen them many
times in the big barn. But in the big
barn those eyes didn't brighten them
at all. Now 1t was different. Those
were the eyes of Black Pussy the Cat
In the barn were plenty Of places
where they could hide from Black
Pussy. Here under the porch there
might be no hiding place at all. You
see. they never had been under there
before. They were so frightened they
didn't know what to 10, so they did
nothing. AS II happened. this was
the wisest thing possible. Black
Pussy didn't see them and she didn't
hear them. because. of course. they
made no noise. But do you know
what they wished? They actually
wished that they were back in that
big barn, even with Shadow the
were worse off than before.
