It was at Beaumont -Hamel that she found it when she started forth for the enemy trenches and a fortified sugar mill beyond. Because of long experience with rapid-fire guns, although he had had none with tanks, Capt. Fallon was drafted at an hour's notice to replace her captain. "It was all new to me, but highly interesting," Captain Fallon relates. "My crew consisted of seven men— five of ,whom were well experienced— and- a black cat.

A Cincinnati man dis- covered this ether eom-. pound . and named it freezone. Any drug- gist gist will sell a tiny bot- tle of freezone, like here shown, for very little cost. You apply a few drops directly upon a tender corn or callus. Instantly the soreness disappears, then short- ly you will find the corn or callus so loose that you can lift it right off. Freezone is wonder- ful, It dries instantly. It doesn't eat away the corn or callus, but shrivels it up without even irritating the surrounding skin. Hard, soft or corns, between the toes, as well as painful calluses, lift right off. There is no pain before or after- wards. If your druggist hasn't freezone, tell him to order a small bot- tle for you from his wholesale drug house. SOUR AND CLAMMY BREAD. Letter Tells of I'ood -Conditions in Paris at the Present Time. Following is an extract from a re- cent letter from Paris: "As you may know, no white bread is to be bought in Paris, and I am told that in some parts of the provinces conditions are even worse—that-bread of any sort is difficult to get. The quality of the bread in Paris is ' very poor. It is mixed with many substitutes which do not seem to respond to the yeast. It is generally sour and clammy, and has made a number of people sick. Be- sides no white bread, there is no cream or sugar or butter desserts of any kind except stewed and fresh fruits served in any hotel or restaur- ant; and 'no cheese is served if the cost of the meal exceeds a dollar and twenty cents.

Great Britain Unable to Supply the Amount.Required by France. The necessity for cntervation of meat on this continent, in order to meet the very heavy demands from overseas, is emphasized by the fact that England is still unable to furnish regularly the 20,000 tong of refrigerated meat, which was promised France under an agreement made in March, 1910. Because of submarine activ'ties and demands upon shipping, Great Britain fell be- hind 70,000 tons in 1917, and for 1918 the deficit is already about 26,00 tens �5- TORONTO FAT STOCK SHOW.

What girl or woman hasn't hoard of lepton juice to remove complexion blemishes; to whiten the skin and to bring out the roses, the freshness and the hidden beauty? But lemon juice alone is acid, therefore irritating, and should be mixed with orchard white this way. Straln through a line cloth the juice of two fresh lemons into a bottle contains about three ounces of orchard white, then shake well and you have a whole quarter pint of skin and complexion lotion at about the cost one usually pays for a small jar of ordinary cold ,cream. Be sure to strain the lemon juice so no pulp gets into the bottle, then this lotion will remain pure and fresh for months. When applied daily to the face, neck, arms and hands it should help to bleach, clear, smoothen and beautify the akin. Any druggist will supply three ounces of orchard white at very little cost and the grocer has the lemons. Eggs mheuld be gathered at least twice a day now.
