SKIP A. MEAL,—In these days of
spec alle manufactured breakfast food,
the subject of human •diet, is a daily
household discourse. In the olden
days, no ratan who was a man, knew
he had a stomach, :tor cared. All
foods looked alike to him. To -day,
however, amidst our complicated ex-
istence/dietetics dietetics has become a sort
of selfgion. There are those who will
prescribe n change of diet tie a pan-
acea. We havle tried the prescrip-
tions of ourfriends out of loving kind -
tees. but: the high arrive of food stuns
precludes further expeamentation. We
have struck "something just as good"
as they say at the store, and it is
"skipping a meal," If you don't feel
in tone, if you can'4 smile as, you see
the euta rise, if you can't laugh with
the fields under an April shower, if
you are grouchy and snooty,, skit a
meal. And if 'that doesn't make you
feel lit, ship another. As a system,
this can't be beaten. If you don't be-
lieve it, you traded tel try -it

The box social given in the Town

was a complete success. Reeve Elliott
acted as chairman. Each number was
well rendered and many were heard
to remark that there is little use in

The War Summary
The German offensive against Ver-
dun has fa led after a full month's
trial and there is not doubt that this
result will bring it hornet to eeisn the
Germ= that Germany is now. bound
around with a band of steel, enol she
will .surely be crushed. The Kaiser
sacrificed munitions and men by the
wholesale to wbt at Verdun. Other
points on the west front are un-
doubtedly fust as strong.
Italy is on. the move again with a
great offensive into Austria.
Russia seems to have the Roumanian
:people on her 'sidle to enter at the
proper time,
Bu;.l;:ctia and Turkey would like to
be out of it, and, later on, it will not
be surd: rising if 'they are not out of
it. and entirely. off the .earth.
The subs, have had little success
during the week.
The baby killers in some seaplanes
drgpped a. few bombs on the coast
of Kent, accomplishing little.
Gen. Smuts will soon have the East
German colony marked red.
Military Matters
"Catch any ,pal_" this week,
500 recruits wanted this week. You
are ineede•d,
Rev. B.arnaby of Belgrave has re-
signed as chaplain of the 161st,
The boys taking the course of in-
struction at Clinton are home this
week.
Next Sunday morning a hike will be
talren to Thames Road Presbyterian
church.
The boys 'will attend the Trivitt
Memorial church on Sunday evening
to hear Rev. iCollins' farewell sermon.
All 'the mean of the 161st Battalion
are, to assemble in Clinton' on April6
the Spring Fair Day. Sort of a Hu-
ron Stock Show, we presume.
A Est of "excuses' wills,probably' be
compiled for publication next week,
Some of 'them are said to be. what
Rev. Wm. McDonough always called
excuses.
Under Major Heiman. the soldiers
paraded to Main St. Chtu•ch Sunday
morning e.nd to James Street church
in the evening, and excellent sermons
were delivered by the pastors.
--o--
Memorila.is are being constantly sent
to the Government ,from all parts of
Canada urging the adotption of some
form of conscription with a view to
taking those who can most easily be
spared. first.
--o--
W. G. Mitchell, eldest son of Mr.
Wm..,Mitchell . of the Metropolitan
Hotel Exeter, has enlisted at' Guelph
and is now under training 'as an of-
ficer IMr Mitchell has now 'three
sons wearing the Ring's uniform; a
number which three fathers can boast
of,
that was refreshing, and some with a
narrowness that was not even inter-
esting. A resolution however, was
adgpted with only one dissenting vote
asking the Dominion Government to
pass some form of conscription to as-
sist in raising the required number of
men. Usborne representatives stated
that there were an; that. Township
some 361 available men of military
age, 18 to 45 years, besides the 23
who bad already enlisted. Stephen
was quoted as havemg, 633 with 36
enlisted. Hay was said to have 75
nen who could enlist "without in-
convenience". Exeter was reported as
having •88 more single men alone who
could .enlist 7,f physically fit. Put-
ting Hay's estimate where it .ought to
be, it is evident, after allowing for
the physically unfits, that these four
mun.uipaltties could mise a battalion
alone, and :igen if the women and old
men were properly enrolled the work
could' go on as before. A bit of con-
scription wetted not hurt much. Even
then it would be better that being
under Hun rule, when all would have
to go, and ;;crap er.y, and_ wealth would
go too, to be sa.:rt«iced in an un-
worthy cause, and in such a reckless
na truer as sho,vn at Verdun.
