SPORTS IN VAR TIME..
Bomb -Throwing Becomes an Event at
Athletic Meets..
A new event is being added to the
list of athletic contests participated in
at college track meets. It is grenade
throwing. Dummy grenades have been
placed on the market which are exact
duplicates in weight and appearance
of the deadly hand missiles employed
by our men in the trenches. In recog-
nition of the fact that correct throw-
ing may be something snore vital than
a mere accomplishment for our young
men, college coaches are giving it a
place along with shot putting and
hammer throwing, indicating , that
even our sports are being affected by
the world war.

The juice of two fresh lemons
strained into a bottle containing three
ounces of orchard white makes - a

Care should be taken to strain the
lemon juice through a fine cloth so
no lemon pulp gets in, then this 'lo-
tion will keep fresh for months, Every
woman knows that lemon juice is used
to bleach and remove such blemishes
as freckles, sallowness and tan and is
the ideal skin softener, whitener and
beautifier.

HORSES IN WAR.
Certain Work in Modern Warfare Can
Be Done Only by Horses.
There seems to be a rapidly in-
creasing opinion that the day of the
horse in war has passed. The nearly
four years of warfare in Europe has
shown this to be an entirely errone-
ous idea. orders with the Department of Agri-
On the Western front, where the culture in their own Province, and un -
road system is probably the best in
the world, mechanical traction has
not been able to displace the horse.
In general, it might be said that the
line between mechanical ' and horse
traction on a battlefield ig the extreme
limit of the enemies' artillery fire
when any heavy action is going on.
The horse is used on the battlefield
and the mechanical traction in the
rear of it.
Of course, during calm periods, me-
chanical traction is used along the
rear part of the battlefield. There are
various reasons for' this division.
Probably the main -one is that batter-
ies frequently Must be placed and sup-
plied in positions some distances from
a road.
If the army is operating on con-
quered ground, this ground generally
is so cut up with old trenches and
shell holes that horse traction, and
only horse traction, is practicable.
Frequently -the mud is so deep that
mechanical traction is helpless. Iii
many cases no wheeled carriages of
any, kind can move. .In, such cases
pack animals have to be used.
So well are these conditions recog-
nized that, in spite of the tremendous
weights of heavy artillery material
For the dainty negligee, this design and slowness and difficulty of

A Field in Flanders.
[Extract from a letter from the front:
- "I saw a few wand -flowers the other
day, and a vast meadow full of
kingcups, and that was enough to
make me happy for weeks."]
There is a field in Flanders
Where yellow king -cups stand;
Like fair princesses clad in gold
Their joyous court they proudly hold
°' In the gay 'meadow -land.
There is a wood in Flanders,
A little shimmering' wood,
Where wind -flowers sway •among the
grass
And smile upon you as you pass,
As country maidens should.
There is a bank in Flanders
Where celandines a -blow
Lift up their shining heads and peer
To see their lovely image clear
In a bright pool below.
And you who go in English fields,
Oh think not that our days
Are wholly dark or wholly ill,
For there are flowers in Flanders still
And still a- God to priase.

Incidentally, every regiment of in-

SWISS WATCHMAKERS CLOSE.
Demands of Labor and Export Condi-
tions Force Action.
Many watch manufacturers have
closed the doors of their shdps, says
a Berne despatch. Organized labor
demanded higher *Wages, giving the
higher cost of living as a reason, The
manufacturers are unable to pay 'high-
er wages, for export facilities are de-
minishing rapidly and it is almost im-
possible to obtain eertain,raw mater-
ials. The amen employed ' as watch-
malcers probably will find remunera-
tive work in munition shops, but it is
feared that the Swiss watch industry
will be ruined by war conditions and
never recover from the blow.

Food Saving in Ilawaiian Islands.
The Red Cross is $1,000 richer as a
result of the first reported violation of
Food Administration rules and regu-
lations in the Hawaiian Islands. Ah
Leong, a Chinese merchant in Hono-
lulu, has been allowed to suspend busi-
ness for one week, and donate to the
Red Cross .$1,000 in lieu of further ac-
tion on a charge of violating the
"fifty-fifty" rule in selling flour. On
the first offense several weeks ago
the Chinese pleaded ignorance of the
law and was allowed to continue busi-
ness. About three weeks later he
made another sale of flour without the
required amounts of substitutes. J.
F. Childs, Federal Food Administrator
for Hawaii, reports that action in this
case has had a very salutary effect
upon other Oriental merchants, and
that practically all of them are now
lined up solid with the Food Adminis-
tration.

A Prayer.
Somewhere across the infested sen,
Serving the cause of libeli°ty,
'Dear Dear 1, ord, is my brave $on.
I know not how he fares to -night,
But keep him ever in Thy sights
For 1 have but the one.
Thou gayest two to bless my life,
But one fell early in the strife-
My first -begotten son.
He with his comrades marched away,
And then a message came one day—
. Dear Lord, I have but one.
''Then, while so sorrowed and bereft,`
Though only he to me was left,
I' could not say him nay,
Who urged that duty bade him go.
His country called, he said, and so
How could I bid hint stay?
But oh, dear Lord, 'tis hard to bear,
With not another child to share
The hearth when tiny is done!
I can but kneel to Thee and pray:
Be'with' him through the hellish fray
And keep 'Thou safe my son!
I know the cause is good and true,
IIcnow that suffering must ensue
Before the fight is niton;
But bear with me,0 Lord, this night;
Be Thou my solace in my plight
And guard my only son.
