In a time needing food

not getting all the nourish-

their food.
It is not how much you eat,
but how much you assim-
ilate, that does you good.
The addition of a small

This comes in a letter from the west-
ern front: "On the. river Ancre, about
six 'hundred yards from the trenches,
there are numbers of coots and moor
hens that ere apparently entirely ob-
notate of the tremendous battle all
round them. Before the `push' they
wore about four hundred yards from
our front-line trenches opposite Thiep-
val, end in front of our field guns. And
this from the neighborhood of Letts:
"All through the night the battle of
the guns went on, and the sky was fill-
ed with the rush of the shells; and the
moon veiled her face from this horror
which made a hell en earth, But in a
little wood a nightingale sang through
- it all, in a little wood in the curve of a
eresecnt of guns, which every shell
flash lit up with white light, so that
the delicate tracery of the boughs and
brat-101mwas ruffled and the tiny
green leaves wore tremulotts. In the
heart of that thicket a nightingale
ming with trills and flutters of: song,
crying to reach higher notes, to rise
higher in its ecstatic outpouring, then
warbling little snatches of melody"
Similarly, birds on' the Macedonian
