F OD TO POOR
LONDON EAST ENDERS SERVED
BY ROYALTY
In New Communal Kitchen the Queen
and Princess Mary Hand Out
Eatables Over the Counter.
In charming, friendly manner,
Queen Mary served fried sausages and
onions, twopenny meat pies, roast
beef, stewed gooseberries, potatoes
and .t dozen other cheap and excellent
comestibles to the East End poor at a
new communal kitchen which Princess
Christian, an hour in advance of Her
Majesty's visit,. opened at Stepney re-
cently. Arid at her mother's side
stood Princess Mary, her face rosy, a
picture of girlish health.
The first order which the Queen re-
ceived on taking her place behind the
counter rather nonplussed her.
"Sausage and onions and potatoes."
From the kitchen at -her side there
shot forth a meat pie on a plate, The
Queen looked at the pie, looked at the
customer, , and politely asked again
what yeas the order.
"Sausage and onions and potatoes
1;ease."
"Well, it can't be in there," said the
Queen, gazing at the solitary pie, cast
adrift on a wilderness of counter, And
it was not there. There emerged an
odor from the' kitchen—the onions—
and in a trice was served, an appetiz-
ing sausage reclining on a bed of
onions and pillowed by the potatoes.
Roses For The Queen.
Next calve a woman, leading a
bright little fellow by the hand, ask-
ing for two pennyworth of soup. Then
the woman, bending forward, pushed
forward the little boy, who was carry-
ing three roses. The Queen smiled
as the little lad held them up, and,
taking them, asked, "Where were they
grown?" "In our back yard," an-
swerl:d the little fellow, shyly. "I've
been keeping them to give y.l:."
"Thank you very much," said the
Queen, placing the flowers in her
waistbelt. Then turning to the moth-
er, she asked for her name and ad-
dress.
Then business,got very brisk,indeed,
ie =they poured, the poor of Stepney,
84'1 do • you want?" said;• lie
"Three heat pies."
"Jam puddir. g "
"Roast beef,potatoes and peas,"
And as they came the Queen took
their instructions and passed them on
to the kitchen, presently handing the
viands to the purchasers.
Ham in adt Envelope.
"Well, my dear, and what can I get
Or you?" Her, Majesty asked a very
tiny, ragged mit.
• "Twopenny worth of 'am, miss,
please,'.' came the unexpected reply,
which caused the Queen to laugh
heartily as she passedtheorder along
to Princess Mary. The little girl who
wanted the ham had neglected to bring
a plate and handed Her Majesty an
envelope.
"But how are you going to take the
ham home in this?" said the Quee e.
For a moment the Queen hesitated, foia
the envelope was small to hold the
generous twopenny "portion" of ham.
There was no fork within reach, but,
noticing the spike file on which the
tickets were placed, the Queen remov-
ed the checks, made a fork of the
'spike, and thus transferred the ham to
the envelope.
"Bring a plate next time, dear," said
the Queen.
Then, ttatand back!" cried the spec-
ial police' on duty to the visitors surg-
ing round. "Make way for the cus-
tomers."
"Yes, give the customers a chance,"
said the royal waitress. "Customers,"
she repeated. "Come along, custom-
ers."
The Queen stopped an hour in the
kitchen, throughly enjoying her task.

HANDS ACROSS THE BORDER
The Physical Union of the Fighting
Strength of Two Nations.
You wouldn't exactly call it hands
across the sea, because Canada is only
across a lake; but Canada is part of
England, which is a long way from
South State Street, says a Chicago
writer. Anyway, what I'm driving at
is this :
Lieutenant Colonel J. S. Dennis, of-
ficer commanding the western
division of the British Recruiting
Mission, recently clasped hands with
Captain F. R. Kenney, officer com-
manding' the recruiting district of
Northern Illinois for the United
States army.
When two belligerent parties shake
hands there are only two things which
the referee or third party can say --
either "Take
ay—.either"Take your corners" or "Bless
you; my children."
I Said neither. But I held my
breath, for it was an impressive mo-
ment, the formal enactment in Chi-
cago of immortal history; the physi-
cal union of the fighting strength of
twcagreat nations. And. the spirit of
patriotic cooperation in the common
cause of justice sanctified the alli-
an ce.

At every one of the dozens of sca
tered stations under Captain Kenney's
command volunteers of Canadian
citizenship were taken for the expedi-
tionary forces of the Dominion; at
every headquarters over which Colonel
Dennis has control volunteers of
American allegiance were taken for
our own National Army.
Captain Kenney is credited with be- t
ing a bit of a bearcat on the science
of recruiting, But he was immensely
impressed with the policies and ideas
expressed by the distinguished Cana-
dian man of war,
Colonel Dennis says that there are
157,000 Canadians in Chicago. Cal-
gary, with a total population of 60,000,
sent 16,000 soldiers to the front.
What then might Chicago yield ?
There are about 350,000 British sub-
jects here, and some sixty-five St.
George and Maple Leaf societies.
There is no shortage of material here-
about for the British recruiting mis-
sion.
A thrillingly interesting man is
Colonel Dennis. He is the most vqr-
satile individual I have ever met. If

BRITISH ARMY SAVING FOOD.
Men as Well Fed as Ever, But Saving
Amounts to 15 Per Cent,
The British army in the field is con-
suming about 15 per cent. less of food-
stuffs per capita than it did eighteen
months ago.
This is not due to any studied dimi-
nution of rations, but to a more care-
ful distribution and the prevention of
waste. It is very .easy for a generous
commissariat to supply an army with
more than it can use. In the early
days of the war this practice of gen-
erosity was well-nigh universal, be-
cause it was regarded as wiser to pro-
vide too much than too little, and the
reaching of the exact mean is not a
simple matter. The policy of over-
supply was well enough ,when food-
stuffs were fairly plentiful, but nowa-
days, when the result of the war may.
depend upon the solution of food pro-
blems, nothing is being left undone to
prevent waste.
The British soldier is still the best -
fed soldier in Europe, but the supply
departmens are gradually rescuing
him fron'i the stigma of being at the
same time the most wasteful. Stocks
of meat and bread are closely watch-
ed, and unused allowances must be
held over and added to the store for
the next meal or the next day.
The private soldier takes more kind-
ly to the don't -waste -food campaign
than was expected, for at heart the
British Tommy has an aversion to see-
ing good food going into the waste box
--he never did it at home, and it looks
like bad business to be doing it in
France.
It requires no knowledge of higher
strategy to see the good sense of the
don's -waste -food idea, and he has
taken on the anti -waste regulations
with more cheerfulness and less argu-
ment than marled the adoption of the
steel helmet or the gas mask.
Fall and winter apples are much
more profitable for evaporating than
the early summer varieties.

How to loosen a tender corn or

without pain.
LIF'T_YOUR CORNS.- -••
` c pcundm

i
Let folks step -on your feet here-
after; wear shoes a size smaller if you
like, for corns will never again send
electric sparks of pain through you,
according to this Cincinnati authority.
He says that a few drops of a drug
called freezone, applied directly upon
a tender, aching corn, instantly re-
lieves soreness, and soon the entire
corn, root and all, lifts right out.
This drug dries at once and simply
shrivels up the corn or callus without
even irritating the surrounding tissue.
A small bottle of freezone obtained
at any drug store will cost very little
but will positively remove every hard
or soft corn or callus from one's foot.
If your druggist hasn't stocked this
new drug yet, tell him to get a small
bottle of freezone for you from his
wholesale drug house -
