Tu the average reader Sir John French's deseription of the manner in which General d'Amade''s cavalry had relieved the pressure, on the English troops at a critical mo- ment meant no• more than that a Facile].) commander had done his duty valiantly and weld. But to many military readers the • name was already interesting and famil- iar. General d'Aivade has already been m touch with � Qi .t he English army on active service. He went through the South African %Var as french military attache, and although he escaped .the Boer Ina- ilets. he fell• a N ictint to a common enemy --.typhoid. It is 'doubtful tirhethcr it is easier to wage war or to watch it. The atiache's business is a difficult one. He is always under escort : "W her - ever I walk and wherever I go,'' twro'te Sir Tan Hamilton when he was attached to the Japanese staff xn Manchuria. "I ani unceasingly a target far curious eyes, There is no help fir it. I know, but in course rtf trent• this sense. <;F being watched gets on the -nerves, and I long with an intense longing for o'rne of the two most secluded situations in the world—the desert of Sahara or a hansom eab in London.' In South Africa he made friends with several of the English generals now fighting in France. In all senses, even to the point of being able to amuse ,and be amused by his escort, he proved an exemplary attache, and when he did walk alone he ;had a way .of impressing the most suspicious sentry with his geed intentions. An attache, let it s g be known,tries a r1..le of being n ; ' treated as a• spy if he shows the least disposition to nervousness. When he goes forth to observe the country, he must never avoid the e3 e of patrols or let himself be merged for long in the landscape ; it is not safe for an alien -looking gentleman of military bearing -to appear too suddenly round the cor- ner. But by confident and easy bearing. and even by timely and noisy blowing of the nose .on ap- proaching the danger -zone (both General d'Am;ade and Sir Ian Ham- ilton have anecdotes to 'the point), it is possible to go through ae m - pain without being taken for a IM ° E 1AL QUALITY THE IMPERIAL OIL COMPANY, LIMITED, a Canadian corporation with over three thousand employ, ees, is manufacturing and distributing fined oils, gas- olines and lubricating oils in Canada for Canadian trade.

General d'Amade's bearing is fit for all :ooeasions. It is the be.ari•ng of a first-rate fencer. It has the alacrity' • and flnisih proper' to an`,expenent of that politest o'f the arts.

VITUS DANCE Another Severe Case Cured Through the Use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills St. Vitus dance is a. common form of nervous trouble, which af- fects not only young children, but men and women as welt,' The nilly' cure lies in plenty --of pure blood, because good blood is the life Tood of the nerves. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills • urs c thecases- of most severe cas St. Vitus dance, because they ac- tually make th.e rich, red blood that feeds and restores the starving, shattered nerves. This has been proved in hundreds of cases, among them that of Mrs. John Dun- can, .London, Ont., who says: "About a' year ago I found myself becoming very nervous. At the out- set I did not pay much attention to it as I thought the trouble would pass away. In this I was disap- pointed, for I soon found myself rapidly growing worse. My right arm and leg began eto jerk, and twitch all the time, even when I was in bed, and I found great diffi- eulty- in walking or doing any work. Finally the trouble affected my speech, and it, was with diffleulty I made Myself understood. Of course I was doctoring for ;the trou- hle, but was not being helped, and finally the doctor wanted me to go to the hospital for treatment. This I did not care to clo and it was at this stage than I decided to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. By the tune I had used four. boxes 1 felt much better, and in a short time longer. I was quite well and strong. My neighbors look upon my cure as quite wonderful, and indeed I think it le, and -shall always be grateful for what Dr. Williams' Pink Pills did for me."

Minae into very .small pieces a sufficient quantity of :lean, tender mutton, add a proportionate quan- tity of pine seeds. season the mix- ture with salt and pepper, and fry it thoroughly. Stuff the potatoes with :the friend meat and set them side by side, with the hole upward, in. asaucepan. Put some tomatoes, a little butter and half apint or so of water in the pan, and cool the potatoes over a light fire, !or about half an hour. The pine seeds can generally be procured at .any Syri- an grocery ;store. 11 they are unolb- tainable, the, meat may either be used alone, • or in combination with some other ingredient. Sauer Kraut and Cucurnber 1?icldes.—Out cabbage fine, using kraut cutter, For every gallon use a roweled tablespoon of salt and one-half teaspoon caraway seeds. 'Mix well. Wash medium size, cu- cumbers. On. the boat= • of an earthenware ,jar put a few dill stems ,(seeds will do), 'taken 'put in alternate layers of •cucumbers sprinkled 'with salt,.: and the . pre- pared cabbage.

Warming the flour is part of the secret of this bread's excellence. Household Hints. By dipping a broom in boiling suds once a week it can be preserv- ed for longer use. One yard of sheeting will make a pair of pillow cases, and will cost much less than pillow tubing. 1.1 a few drops of paraffin are ap- plied to a out, it will give instant relief and also assist it to heal. Boiled chestnuts served on lettuce leaves, with t11 French dressing, make a delicious and seasonable .salad. A piece bag made of mosquito netting enables one by a look to find the particular roll of goods de- sired. Spirits of turpentine will remove most 'spots from silk, but .care must be taken to be sure that the dye is fast. Varnished paper on walls should be cleaned with a flannel dipped in weak tea and polished with a dry cloth. To sharpen a knife, fold a piece of emery paper in the centre and draw the knife rapidly back and forth several times. A small piece of glass placed over a cookery book when lying open on the table keeps it open and enables the cook to read the recipe without handling the book with sticky fin- gers. When a kettle is "furred" inside fill it with water, add a .good-sized lump of ,borax, and let it boil well, Then pour away the borax and wa- ter, and rinse thoroughly with char cold water. • Sweet spirits of nitre will remove ink -spots from wood. Rub the spots with the nitre ; when the wood. turns white, wipe it off with a ;soft cotton rag. It may be necessary to make a second ;application. When you have finished with :the kitchen fire for cooking purposes take some fine eoal dust, put it in a strong brown paper ;bag, damp it, and put it, on the top of the fire. The latter . will burn slowly for hours.
