It Was in the early hours of the morning, they were in bed. Part of Doll's house roof was blown out, ceilings all down. They thought at first Betty's ankle was broken, but it was .a bad bruise, the bed clothes saved her. How they did not get cut to pieces we do not know for there was glass everywhere. We heard the whistle over here and then it shook our house so we knew it was fairly close." (a distance of 4 miles). On Thursday last she also received a letter from her brother, Pte, W.

SUPERIOR QUALITY OF SOY MILK "Milk prepared from the soybean very -closely, 1-gees/II:dee cow's mine in its composition," says an article in ''the American magazine Good Health. "Soy milk has several advantages over cow's milk which are well worth considering. It contains a little less lime, of which milk contains an ex- cess, and, on the other hand, it con- tains nearly 'three times as much iron as does cow's milk. "Another point of superiority of soy milk," the article goes on to say, "is well worth rioting, namely, the fact that it may take the place of animal milk. In China, bird fanciers take hatchlings from their nest arid rear them on an exclusive diet of soy milk. For centuries infants have been fed in a similar way in China when deprived of their natural food supply. "Persons who are sensitized to cow's milk," the article adds, "can replace it successfully, with soy milk. Soy milk also has the merit it encourages growth in the intestine of the protec- tive loctabacillus acidophilus. It thus combats intestinal putrefaction and disease. The quintuplets were cured of their .bowel trouble by the use of soy milk cultures of acidophilus." In view of the possible milk short- age which Canada may 'have to face, o•••••••••••• the above article is not only interest- ing, but timely, AMETHYST FOR FEBRUARY The transparent, purple variety of the mineral, quartz, is called amethyst and is considered to be the 'birthstone for February. It is the most valuable of the large variety of semi-precious quartz gems. In the Royal Ontario Museum there are large, deep-coloured amethyst crystals from Brazil. There are smaller, paler, crystals from Nova Scotia and Port Arthur, Ontario., Faceted stones of both types ar e dis- played. In amethyst the colour is not evenly distributed throughout the stone, It is therefore difficult to cut- it to the best advantage, that is. to show the deepest colour. Attempts are usually made to get the darkest part at the lowest point of the cut stone so that it will show throughout. This gem has always been associ- ated with temperance and sobriety, in the past it was believed to cure or to prevent drunkenness. Since early times it has ,been used in ecclesiastical rings. JUST DOG This dog of which we write was ut- terly undistinguished except for one thing. He managed to live for sixteen years, which made him better than a centenarian in the canine world. The ancestry of this dog was un- certain and his appearance was such that it moved many to laughter. When he wagged his tail he wagged his whole rear with it and that made them laugh the harder. This dog knew no tricks and so far as we observed had not the wit to learn any. If other dogs invaded his property, he asked 'their to leave and if 'they did not he fought them. If lie was dismissed from the domain of another dog, he left, according to code. He chased woodchucks, this dog and sometimes he caught them; at any rate he kept them out of the garden. He caught rats sometimes, He follow- ed two little boys to their games and in their wanderings 'and when they no longer lived at home he seemed to miss them. Like thousands of other dogs every- where, he minded his own business and did the best that he could and seemed to find happiness in the doing of it. As we said at the beginning, he was without glamour or distinction, —Wall Street Journal The Colonel noticed a long queue of., men outside one of the stables. Each had a lump of sugar, "I'm glad to see you love animals so much," he remarked to one recruit. "I suppose the horse you're giving the sugar to is the pet of the regiment!" "Not 'arf he an't, Sir" replied the recruit. "He's the one what kicked the sergeant." predeceased her. Three sisters also survive, Mrs, Wan, Halliday of Vans cower!
