Hundreds of thousands of touriste,
from all parts of the world are now
either on their way to France or are
planning to come here to view the
battlefields, says a Parts deepatch.
Tours 'of all kinds, not only to the bat-
tlefields but to every interesting part
of France, now are being organized.
To cope with the volume of sightseers
expected France is beginning to de-
velop touring machinery on a 'vast
scale, which, newel ei, is sadly de-
ficient to accommodate a rush of visi-
tors.
Provision of adequate hotel accom-
modations, particularly. tear the bat-
tiefleldi, is presenting the greatest dif-
ficulties, owing to the lack of all kinds
of building materials. In the vicinity
of . Arras hotel accommodation hue
been provided by the railway train
which formerly constituted the travel-
ling headquarters of the Uuited States

The carriages of this train have been

this means a hotel of eighty rooms is
provided, each compartment constitu-
ting a separate chamber and opening

Army Huts installed.
On other centres, notably et Cler-
monten-Argonne, wooden houses, roof-
ed with cemented felt, are being need.4
Many ef theee wooden houses previ-
ously have dcne duty in Morocco and I
ether parts of French North Africa.1
Old French army huts, comprising !
more than thirty bed rooms, also are;
being installed in many places. These
have restaurants more than 100 feet
in length and width and twenty feet
in height, These wooden hotels are 1
fitted with hot and cold water ser-
vices, electric lights, bath rooms, and
even central heating plants. Motor
garages and other modern require- '
merits are attached to most of them.

Loss of Time.
"The 'wiser WO are the more we hate
to lase time," says Dante, ;Although in
more solemfl andstately phrase. And
Matthew Arnold remarks somewhere,
in substance, that we all maltreat
time shockingly; some cf us waste
all of it, meny of us waste most of it,
all of us waste some af It.
Well, of (mune those sages are
right. When we stop to think of the
precicies, golden things that can be
clone with miuutos, it is pettable to see
how we all throw them away, scatter.
them about and behind us with care-
less menierence, as if they were futile
grains of sand, given 0.1 only to be
got rid of as soon and as easily as pos-
sible. Yes, there are some who really
seem to waste all their time, and they
waste it without being awere cf it mi -
til it is too late,, and =my are not
aware of it even then; for the possi-
bilities of an hour, for goed or for evil,
are inexhaustible.
Yet there are also people who are
so desperately anxious to waste no
time at all that they almoet reconcile
us to the squanderers. Those unfor-
tunates are as avaricious with minutes
as _others are with. penaies. They
seem to live with the clock; even in
their- sleep, and to be dissetiefied un-
less every motion of lis hands regie-.
terd same .acoomplishmenf. They want
to improve every hour and to make
every hour improving, until their
mere prceence suggests some dis-
agreeable duty or some burden with-
out profit. -
The truth is that it is well to know
how to Waste time,. to forget the clock
altogether, to relax completely, to live
idly, to enjoy pleasant things just be-
cause they are pleasant, without a
thought of their profit. The birds
sing for the pure joy of singing, and
the butterflies fold their wings and
-
balance deliciously en a flower in the
nnhine.
The wiseknow that a judicious
amount of wasting is, in the end, not;
wasting at all; for those who have I
learned to relax and to forget at the!
right moment, to lay aside care and f
thought and time completely, when
they do labor do it with, a fresh and
mighty power that the weary aleI-ea
of tint ece,vioe never know.
To lose ,timeprofitably is an ex-
quisite art.

Get Away Front the Hot Stove!
Careful planning' will enables the
housewife to feed her family ade-
quately and satisfyingly without
spending hours 'over a hot kitchen
stove, In the first. plaee, by such
planning, the heavier, greasier
articles of food will have very- little
place on the menu. Many more cold
dishes will be served. The hot dishes
will be so planned as to take little
time. The canned meats which were
put away during butchering time will
now reappear, for they need only be
heated to serve,
The ail stove, gasoline or gas stove
will be used instead of the range. If
the range has to be used, the meal's
will be so planned that the large part
of the cooking and baking will be
done in the cool morning hours, the
fire allowed to go out` and not re-
kindled till the' next morning. The
evening meal can be cold, even to the
beverage. If possible the farm wo-
man will insist upon having an oil
sthvlei
Afuel is in price and will
take forethought to use oil and gas
as economically as possible. When
once any food has been thoroughly
heated and Ss bailing', the flame should
be turned down and the boiling point
merely maintained. This saves fuel
and cooks the food as well or better
than if it boils hard. If a gas stove
is used, the simmering burner will be
used.
When cakes or bread have to be
baked, a meal planned for the oven
will save fuel since all the oven heat
can be utilized. If the bread is baked
early, the noon meal can be prepared
in the oven. For instance, have sliced
and baked scalloped corn. baked po-
tatoes, baked custard •Such a len
means saved fuel and saved time.
.
While this meal is etiolating a cake
can be baked.
The fireless cooker may be bought
ready made or may be made at home.
The homemade one costs about one-
tenth of the cost of a commercial one.
On the other hand the .commercial
cooker usually has two or three com-
partments and includes a variety of
utensils to allow for the preparation
of all kinds of food from cereals and
meats to sponge cakes and pies
The limits to the uses of the home-
made cooker as well as the commer-
cial cooker are dependent upon the
cleverness and ingenuity of the person
using it. Meats can be roasted or
stewed, soup can be made, one -dish
meals prepared, beans baked, pota-
toes fried, cereals and dried, fruits
prepared and puldings baked or
steamed. Since little or no evapora-
tion takes place there is no loss of
fla.vor. The fireless cooker is a fuel
saver for all kinds of long cookery
procesees. •
The Miracle.
Oh, little child of mine,
It seemed, before you came,
I was a weary woman grown,
My world a rose too fully blown;
Too many springs had bloomed the
same
For one to be divine.
Before I knew your eyes,
The magic of your hand,
A little dusty seemed my way,
And dull each oft -repeated day,
And faded seemed the summer land,
And faded, too, the shies.
And then, my sweet, you came;
Beheld the world made new!
New flowers spring:ng left and right,
The. sun new gold, tea; stars alight,
And vouchsafed unto me through you
New youth—a deathless flame!

Footle For Children's Teeth.
It'"is generally supposed that be-
cause uncivilized people have as a rule
well -made teeth, which are free from
decay, a meat dietaey must be the
best to preserve the teeth. That, how-
ever, cannot be correct, for many, if,
not most, of the uncivilized races are
not largely carnivorous, Dr. Pickerill,'
a dentiat in New Zealand, has recently
published the results of a very pro-;
found study of the diets of the differ-
ent civilized and uncivilized races of
the world, He compares the diets of
the different races with the percent-
ages of dental decay in the same races
and reveals some very interesting
facts about preserving the teeth, espe-
cially the first set of teeth in children. Potatoes
