In a fairly 'large family little meat need be purchased for the stock pot, if the housewife insists that all the portions of bone and trimmings be sent with the purchases of meat. 'the French women look with horror on the women leaving all this scrap and trimming to the butcher. To Make the Stock A soup bone from the shin of beef, which is full of nutriment, costing abot.t ten cents, will have nearly two ounces of meat attached; one pound of the scrap end of neck of veal, four quarts of water. Wash bones and add cold water and bring slowly to boil, skim and then cover: closely and cook four hours. By this time the meat will have fallen from the bones. Strain and set aside to get cold. To let stand overnight is best. Then remove all the fat from the top. This is the basis of all soup sauces and gravies, rich in proteib and in mineral matter and in gelatin. The meat can be taken from the bone, run through a meat chopper and used for meat loaf, croquettes and meat bis- cuits oh sausage, and it will make a tasty hash when combined -with po- tatoes and onions for breakfast. You now have a delicious and nutri- tious broth, without seasoning of any kind, which will keep in cold weather two or three days. In warm weath- er it must be returned to the pot, brought to a boil and skimmed, left to cool aff and put in an icebox. "That will have to be roved;" and --• .. P the hands of the Germans.

As far as he could judge they were about half -way between the two lines, and he knew the danger of the task he had set himself. In a vague way he wondered whether the Germans had seen him, he also won- dered whether the British were watch- ing him. But this did not trouble hint much; the one thought which fill- ed his mind was that he must at all hazards secure the paper which Wa- terman had tlnown, Without hesitating a second, and without making a sound, he threw himself upon the German and well- nigh bore him to the ground. Then followed a hand-to-hand struggle, the details of which Tom was never clear about. As a lad he had been a foot- ball player and had made good muscle; he had played half -hack far the Brun - ford football club for several seasons, and although be was by no means a giant, he was *ell built and strong, During the time he had been in the Army, too, every muscle in his hasty had been developed to• its •fullest cap- acity: hie severe training tolyl in his favor' now, and Tom never dreamt of giving in. On the other hand, how- ever, the German was a big, heavy man and he also had undergone a severe training. Tom felt his antagonist weakening; • a long, long way off. Still he strug- gled on. "I must get in! I must get in!" was the thought which possessed his bewildered brain. Then he fell heavily; after that all became dark. When he returned to consciousness it seemed to him as though he saw a number of ghostly faces around him. He had a sort of feeling that he was dead, and that those faces belonged to the spirit world; but in a few seconds they became clearer. "That's better, Tom, that's better! You are all right. You did it, lad{ You did it!" "Stand back there, and give him air, Heavens! There hasn't been a braver thing done by any roan in the Army!" IIe heard all this, but not clearly. They seemed to be stray sentences, uttered by many voices. But it didn't matter; only one thing mattered. 'Had, he done what he had set out to do? I "Have ybu got it?" he gasped. "Got it! I should think we have.", It was Major Blundell who spoke. "It's all right, Pollard, you've done the trick." "Have I, sir?" said Tom, "I—I feel very strange." "You will soon get over it, you are only pumped!" (To be continued,) tr` .1 Pry. :s !i A How Music is Used on the Italian Front. At various points along the Italian front not far from the firing line, there is being given concerts to the soldiers and we are told that the. idea omigineted with the supreme military command. So much good has been accomplished by these concerts that an organization has been effected to extend the concert arrangements. It is said that already six wooden theatres have been erected, all in conquered territory, and that the tatslk of secur- ing talent is being made easy by the ready assistance of Italy'a foremost musicians and actors. At one of the first concerts General Capello him- self was present. The first programme took place in one of these soldiers' theatres right opposite the Carso; the ruins of bom- barded houses all round, in view el Austritat entrenchments in all their complicated system. A variety artist was surging a favorite song when an enemy aeroplane was sighted, She continued unperturbed while the Italian aircraft chased away the un- timely intruder. An t,ceumtt of these Concerts hes reached the English press from Italy rend the following is 1111 extract sent home by a Canadian soldier: To these concerts soldiers who aro enjoying the customary rest after a trying time in the trenches come in thousands to find that relaxation anti recreation from nervous tension which are a vital necessity for the preservation of the health o1' the combatants. Not much dream or light comedy is given. Sol- diers who have just come out of the jaws of bell do not want to see the petty nothings of every -day life, They want, and get, light entertainment in the .form of farcical plays: something to laugh at, and forget the misery of the past and present. Operatic arias are of course the order of the day, seeing that they form part and parcel of the Italian organism. Then cer- tain elements in the audiences crave for, and get, the latest music -hall songs, Famous attars recite in the diver's dialects so dear to the natives of the different departments of the country. Inn their special instance a hearty laugh, unbridled and unre- strained, refreshes their tired, racked nerves, better perhaps than a night's rest, WO a^ ASSAM Teas for Economy Assam teas are the strongest and richest grown.

"It is philosophic trust,' -coupled with absolute lack of imagination, which makes the ,British soldier the most invincible person in the world," says Major Tan Hay Beith, in "All In It." "The Frenchman is inspired to glorious deeds by his great spirit and passionate love of his own sacred soil; the German fights as he thinks, like a machine. But the British Tommy wins through owing to his entire in- difference to the pros and cons of the tactical situation. He settles down to war like any other trade, and, as in time of peace, he is chiefly concerned 'with his holidays and . his creature Comforts, A battle is a mere incident between one set of billets and another, Consequently, he does not allow the grim realities of war to obsess his mind when off duty, One might al- most ascribe his success as a soldier to the fact that his domestic instincts are stronger than his military in- stincts."

When Uncle Sam's flying men come to take their part on the Western Front they will 'find their job a "cinch" in comparison with the British task in 1014, Our brave Allows were among the pioneers hi aerial warfare, and they gave their lives freely in learning how it should be done. Our flying man had, at the begin- ning, to conform to rules and regula- tions. Army' discipline handicapped them right and left, consequently they worked at a dirsymlvanbage all the time. Tho military man pure and sin- : pie has no imagination, and it requires imagination to use flying machines at the front. Early in the war it was said: "Lis- ten to the flying men and let them tell us what we need•" And as soon as we listened to the flying men we pro- gressed in the air by leaps and bounds.. Obsolete Monoplanes. It was the flying men themselves who discovered that the monoplane was of no value for observation per - poses. No monoplanes are used in warfare to -day.

In fact, looping is one of the favorite dodges in air fighting, To he behind • an enemy 'plane is the most favorable position, and if, when chased by a hos- tile machine, a pilot can loop the loop and conic up behind the enemy, he immediately becomes the chaser, and has his opponent at a disadvantage. Eyes of Army and Navy. It used to be thought that to get above and in front of an enemy•flyer was the most advantageous position in air fighting. Now our men realize that below and behind is the best posi- tion. It is easier to turn a machine- gun on to an enemy machine when he is above or in front. Kitchener once said that 0110 aero- plane was worth a thousand men, and it is certain that a thousand men have the value of ten thousand now that it is possible to slip over to the enemy's lines and see what is afoot there. It is the same in the Navy. A bat- tleship is comparatively helpless with, out its accompanying 'planes, for dar- ing a modern sea -fight the contesting fleets are seldom, if ever, visible to one another, and depend entirely on the observers and thelewireless for instructions. Nowadays the authorities realize the tremendous importance of the fly- ing man, and they treat him accord- ingly. At the best of times his life is short•—the- span of life of a pilot at the front can be named hi hours—and the authorities endeavor to make it a merry one as far as it is possible.

Ilis machine is worth looking after, also, and quite a small army of men do nothing all clay long but tinker with the machines. Every pilot has three machines in readiness for him, so that if one is damaged the work of observ- ing can go on uninterruptedly. John Bright once saidthat war is a great teacher of. geography. If he had said merely that war was a great teacher ho would have spoken just as truly.
