The question of what the fate of the women of France will be after the war is generally occupying the French mind. Monsieur Briux, the well-known author of "La Femme Soule" and member of the French academy, writes on this subject: "When our soldiers return from the front and have received all the honors due them and hung up their laurel wreaths, they will want to take up again their old occupations, but they will then find their places occupied by women who have been forced by ne- cessity to take up this work, and who will have to be persuaded to get out. "The women will say: 'I have grown used to making my own living. I can perform work of which you thought me incapable and I have proved it. I have been accustomed to the feeling of independence which a salary gives. I am here, and here I will remain. Go away and leave me alone.' "The men will answer: 'The war is over. I have suffered out there while defending my country, my free- doms and my right to work. I have come back glorious. I was tired, but now I have had a rest. Give me back my position.' Both Will Be Right. "Men and women will both be right, and it is always when two adversaries are both right that the fight becomes most bitter." M. Brieux says that it is well that the discussion of this dispute should be taken up now and, if possible, some 011lr flC�ltE:n is Nr. iii Kiitchen—it cost two mil. lion dollars and was built to furnish you with crisp, g lden loaves of Shredded Wheat, the purest, cleanest, most nutritious cereal food e• • in the world.

Drill Makes the Women Look to Their Laurels. In a busy hive of war work a group of beautiful young women were, in an off -moment, discussing the merits of various systems of physical exer- cises to which they are devoted, says the London Express. "It is wonderful," said one, "how fit I keep if I set aside just a quarter of an hour each day to a few simple exercises." Another was equally en- thusiastic, but .about comeliness in- stead of health. Her desire, frankly expressed, was to avoid "putting on flesh." "I sit so long at my work that I neecl something to counteract the bad effects," she explained. No one divulged just why this ace cess of zeal for physical fitness had seized her, But the reason is not far to seek, example exam le of .the soldiex. brother is the incentive. Men are now being drilled to such purpose that their physique is improving won- derfully end their well set-up and splendid trures are reminding their sisters that they must look to their laurels: Adds to the Joy of ' Living --- It isn't alone the deliciously sweet nut -like taste of Grape - Nuts that has made the food famous, though taste makes first appeal, and goes a long way.

He was promoted to Acting Sub -Lieuten- ant in September, 1915. When war broke out he was serving in a flag- ship of the Grand Fleet, but in Sep- tember, 1914, he liras compelled to go on sick leave, and was operated upon for' appendicitis. He was unable to rejoin his ship until February of the following year. In the following Nov- ember he was again on. sick leave, with an obstinate gastric disorder. He returned to active duty in May of this year.

But Brussiloff had shown marvelous skill and adapt- ability in manoeuvring large bodies of men, and he was permitted to have his own way. The victorious commander, like most of the other successful generals in this war, is well advanced in years; he is sixty-four years of age. His. vitality, however, is amazing. He is reported to be the picture of health I at present, in spite of sixteen hours' work a day. In all weathers he will inspect his troops and visit the vital points along his front. If his motor car cannot take him where he wants to go on. account of the bad roads, he will continue his journey for many miles if necessary on horseback. "We have undertaken a big opera- tion. With God's help we will con- duct it to a successful conclusion," was all he said when he was congrat- ulated on his victories. Brussiloff is a man of very few words. The Folly Of Taking Digestive Pills A Warning to Dyspeptics. The habit of taking digestive pills af- ter meals makes chronic dyspeptics of many thousands of men and women be- cause artificial digestants, drugs and medicines have practically no influence upon the excessively acid condition of the stomach contents which is the cause of most forms of indigestion and dys- nei sia. The after dinner pill merely lessens the sensitiveness of the stomach nerves and thus gives a false sense of freedom from pain. If those who are subject to indigestion, gas, flatulence, belching. bloating, heartburn, etc., after eating, would get about an ounce of pure bis- urated magnesia from their druggist and take a teaspoonful in a little water after meals, there would be no further necessity for drugs or medicines be- cause bisurated magnesia instantly neutralizes stomach acidity. stops food fermentation and thus insures normal, pathless digestion by enabling the stom- aoh to do its work without hindrance. 41 ZEPPELIN RAIDS. 1,334 People Killed and Wounded in . England. the Something About the Famous Russian General. The Russian soldier's nickname for General Brussiloff, the man who has driven the Austrians before him in Galicia in a dozen battles, is "Papa Kasha." "Kasha," a writer in a Brit- ish periodical tells us, is a breakfast dish greatly beloved by the Russian soldier. It is made principally of dry buckwheat mixed with sour clotted milk, and Brussiloff was the first to introduce it as a regular ration for the Russian soldier. Although his name was not widely known before the recent campaign, General Alexei Grussiloff has for some time been recognized in Russian mili- tary circles as a brilliant strategist and tactician. When the war broke out he was in command of the 14th Army Corps on the Galician frontier, and he took a prominent part in all the earlier operations in that part of the eastern front. Early in April last he succeeded General Ivanoff in command of the southern Russian army, and at once he began to prepare assiduously for the great offensive. Trained as acavalry leder he in- sisted leader, , thatthat must playa silted a army m s prominent part ie. his plan of opera- tions. Only through cavalry, he said, could a rout, as distinguished from a mere withdrawal, be assured. And only cavalry, he thought, could act as quickly as the occasion would demand in the broal intervals of open the numerous abortive attempts which have been driven back at the coast or balked by shifting winds and misty weather. If in these raids we take three Zeppelins as the average number, and allow three tons of explosives and incendiary bombs as the capacity of each dirigible, we have an aggre- gate of 370 tons of death -dealing mis- siles. Supposing each bomb weighs 50 pounds, we have approximately 15,000 as the number dropped on England or in the North Sea in the last two years. The British Government has made public the number of casualties after each raid, and these aggregate 356 dead and 980 wounded. This means that it has taken more than a ton of German bombs for every British man, woman and child who has been killed. A military expert figures that for every soldier killed the enemy must expend his weight in lead.
