have been evolved and much of the

Take difficulties that confronted the

first necessity that met the engi-

of snaps -to got over that necessity
without any hope of teaching the or-
dinary soldier or officer how to re-
duce yards to meters and kilometers
to miles --to make a map that, once
printed, would be perfectly serviceable
in every army. And they have worked
out a perfect scheme that ignores any
idea of yards, feet, meters or miles,
and co-ordinates everything on frac-

The Latest War r Map.
The maps are made on scales that
are universally 1-2500, 1-10,000 and
1-40,000. When a man sees that map,
whether he can read it in meters or
yards it matters not, he roads all that
is on it to his understanding,' which
is all that is necessary. The old cum-
bersome ways of designating routes
have also been overcome by the en-
gineer. The old army rule that re-
quired a general to put in his order,
spelling out in Roman capitals, the
names of -all towns and roads, and
needlessly prolonging the order, is
abolished by this system of maps. All
of France has been mapped in a sec-
tion of sheets numbered from 1. up.
Each sheet is divided into a number
of squares, and they are all exactly
alike in number. Each square is again
divided into four principal parts, so
that when a man receives. an order
to do a certain thing he is referred
to. sheet 1, No. 27, and one of the four
subdivisions which are designated by
the first four letters of. -the alphabet.

SAVE FOOD
In a time needing food economy many people are not
etting all the nourishment they might from their food.
It is not how much you eat, but how much you assim-

The addition of a small teaspoonful of Bovril
to the diet as a peptogenic before meals leads
to more thorough digestion and assimilation
and thus saves food, for you need less.
