And thought of children as I rode.

With glowing eyes and fearsome flare,
And candles gleaming everywhere.

DREAM UNFULFILLED.
Though Germany Has Gained Much
She Has Lost Still More.
Three years ago Germany began
this war for the conquest of Middle
Europe. What has she gained? What
has this gain cost her? 1
She has gained by her arms the ter-
ritories of Belgium, Luxemberg,
Serbia, a small but rich section of
northern France and parts of Lithu-
ania, Poland and Rumania—a total of
a little less than 204,000 square miles,
She has lost:
Except for an insignificant corner in
southern Africa, all her colonies, over
a million: square miles.
Virtually all her shipping not bot-
tled up in Bremen and Hamburg, a
loss estimated in tonnage at 8,000,000.
Of the flower of her youth, more
than 2,000,000.
In cash, nearly $20,000,000,000 to be
,added 'to her national debt.
Before the war, though unpopular
as a people, Germany was honored
among all nations for her intellectual
sdholarship and her industrial schol-
arship • and her industrial efficiency.
She has lost irretrievably this respect
and won in its plea the mingled hat-
red and contempt of the civilized
world, Scarcelya considerable neu-
tral nation is left except those whose
safety compels their neutrality.
No one thinks Germany can retain
her gains. No one imagines that she
can recover her losses, It is not
strange that some of the German peo-
ple are seriously discussing among
themselves the question whether it is
not time .to change their business
managers.
We have two classes of unfortunates
in this old vale of tears and laughter,
those who can's get their minds on
their work and those who can't get
theirs off it.

Sun, Rain, or Snow ---Some Section of
the Fighting Forces is Al-
ways Pleased.
•
Every soldier, be Ise general or pri-
vate, takes a been interest in the
weather at the front, and it is not al-
ways the bad weather, as we know it,
that he criticizes, It depends on what
unit of the Army he represents whe-
ther he will revile or praise.
A thoroughly wet day to the air-
man is often a blessing; it gives him
a rest from the strain' of flyhsg,
though on occasions even the rain
does not stop him. It stops the Ger-
man fliers, too, and thus gives a rest
to the "Archie" artillerymen on both
sides,
Infantry's "Bete Noir."
A wet morning, on awakening at
dawn, is blessed by these gentlemen,
fm it means extra time in bed—a
great boon when you know that
"Archie" has to be up always before
the sun and never retires from his vigil
of the sky till nightfall. In the early
summer months this means a nineteen -
hour day.
For the infantry it is a different
matter. Trenches are never too com-
fortable in the finest of weather, and
a downpour of ram is one of the worst
things that can happen to the men
who occupy the trenches.
No natter what the weather is,
there is no cessation here, and slip-
pery clay, wet feet, and no way of es-
cape are just causes for the infantry-
man's righteous anger.
The field artillery dislike rain, for,
although it may give them a rest from
their labors for a little while, at any
moment they may be called to settle a
little account with Fritz across the
way. And in most cases during bad
weather it is a case of "blind" firing,
for it is impossible to observe without
aeroplanes or balloons,_ Even the "0
Pip" observing officer in the front
line trenches cannot see.
When a Storm is Welcomed.
The Army Service Corps men, driv-
ing and riding, learn also to hate the
rain, for a three -ton lorry is not an
easy thing to drive on a greasy, wet
French road, as witness the unfortun-
ate vehicle that has skidded into the
ditdh. It means hours of uncongenial
work in the rain trying to get it out
again.
To men who are about to return
from leave in Blighty to France,
stormy weather is just the thing they
like, if the wind has made the sea suf-
ficiently unrideable.
With the leave boats not running on
a day like this, the men on leave get
an extra day in Blighty, while the men
waiting te' come over from France to
England do not lose any -of their leave,
for their ten days' holiday does not
start until they are actually on the
transport.
From the general's point of view,
I suppose, none but fine and sunny
days are desirable, for the success of
any big move or push will, of course,
depend greatly on. this.
Still, the stop -the -war weather has
its minor advantages, as will be seen,
not the least good point about it be-
ing the fact that the baby -killers of
Germany cannot carry out their bomb-
ing operation on England at such
times,
CORN AS WHEAT SUBSTITUTE.
Has a Larger Proportion of Nitrogen,
Starch and Fat.
Wheat bread is made either of whole
wheat or the white starch - of the
wheat. In the economic scheme we
must consider these two kinds of
bread.
Whole-wheat flour will sustain hu-
man life with -its starch, bran, pollard
and phosphate of lime, while we would
starve to death on white bread made
entirely of the starch; therefore, those
on a very restricted diet, such as pris-
oners, etc., aro often dependent upon
bread. They should have the flour
containing the whole wheat.
White bread however, when taken
with soup made from a good stock
that furnishes the nitrogen and earthy
salts, is a cheaper food. It is also
full of nutritive, when combined with
fat, meat and a little soup the base of
which is soup stock. Therefore white -
flour bread with a general diet is
cheaper than whole-wheat bread,
A further conservation of our pre-
sent supply may be found by observ-
ing morn` moderation in the quantity
of bread field biscuit eaten. Most peo-
ple eat too much starch.
Those in charge of children seem to
be under the impression that wheat
bread made of white flour is the "staff
of life," This is a mistake. When •
children have to depend largely upon
white bread they are apt to be under-
nourished, shown by their soft and
flabby flesh.
Maize, or corn, has a larger propor-
tion of starch than wheat, and a}llttle
over, one-half more of nitrogen.
Corin is much richer in fat than is
wheat. .
Corn can be served in many palat-
nhlo dishes, These are generally
known or can be obtained from books
on ;cooking.
