Work Now anal Have!
When drastic regulations for the rationing
of food come into effect (and such an
Order in Council may be made 'very early
next Fall) you will wish then, that you
had a crop of nice vegetables ready to
take off your garden or nearby piece of
vacant land that you could have cultivated
if you had really wanted to.
Well, all we say is—
Don't Wait and Wish
If you have not yet decided to plant a vegetable garden make up your mind to
do so now. You will not regret it. There is still lots of time. Potatoes and beans may
be planted up to June 1st and these are the best substitutes for wheat and meat.
For good, practical advice upon how to lay out and cultivate a Vegetable
Carden, write for a free copy of the booklet entitled: "A Vegetable Garden for
Every Home." This has been prepared by the Ontario Department of Agriculture for
the guidance of citizens who will respond to this call for increased production.

IT makes no difference how long you\ltave suffered from
constipation, Nujol relieves stubborn ad\well as occasional
cases with equally sure and pleasant result*. Start now to
use this safe and effective remedy which Dr. Page and other
eminent physicians so highly'recommend and prescribe.
Nujol restores healthy bowel habits in a gentle, natural way,
without the least griping or dangerous reaction. That's
because Nujol contains no drug, and so causes no artificial
stimulation. Avoid harmful pills and salts that sap bowel_
strength with weakening reaction. Nujol is a pure. unmixed
remedy; and pleasant to take. Perfectly safe for a11. Be
"regular as clockwork" --use Nujol.

There are no substitutes there is only Nujol.

' GOING OUT WITH THE RATIONS.
A Godsriek Cid Hoy Tells Racily of as
w.__- NM Eating Trip,'_ Gam
1 - ( From The London Advertiser i, •—
One of the moat graphic descriptions of
that most thrilling of all war experiences,
"going out with the rations," has been
1 written by Sergt. W. E. Elliott, a London
newspaperman now in France
with the Canadian forces. Sergt. Elliott
joined the permanent force—corps of
military staff clerks—shortly after the
declaration of war, but sacnficed his staff
sergeant's crown in order to see active ser-
vice. He went overseas as sergeant of a
cyclist platoon, raised in this district, and
dropped one stripe in England, later
taking down his corporal's chevrons to
get to France. The letter which was
tent to a friend in i.ondon follows:

a "bombproof" job that he got permis-
sion to accompapy the battalion on
a tour into the front line, and want out
with a petrol into "No Man's Land." l
thought of getting the scout officer's per-
mission to do the same some nice, dark
night, but I've changed my mind. I've
had my "thriller." It lasts longer than s
trench raid. and is just about as exciting,
It's called "going out with the ration
Tin."
Just after crawling out of the hole in
the ground where 1 ate bread and jam
with the battalion runners, I got word
from headquarters:'The sergeant at
rear H. Q. is going to ho4ital. Go out
tonight and take charge It was time
rations were up. 1 quickly gathered up
greatcoat, equipment, rifle and the rest of
the junk. (Respirator and steel helmet aero
already on. you may he sure.) Proceeded Brit
through the trenches, past sentries who hot'eat
from sandbagged lookout posts demanded ever
the password, and reached the fine breezy after
open ground, where there's nothing to off w
stop a machine gun bullet but yourself.

isomebody was standing on the brake, we
got under way.
Wodsrfal sad Fearful Curves.
The ration train runs en '•narrow gauge
—very narrow geruge. In fact. it's a bit
difficult tor a good•sised horse to snake
speed and stay tbeetween the rails. When
he steps off {he track there is a strong
tendency for the car to follow. There
are mure curves in that narrow gauge be-
tween the trenches and the rear dump

Canada Most of them are at points
where a trench or other hole yawns darkly
on at least one side. There are switches.

tuck but it seems to follow the horse.
BM it wasthe grades that interested me.
Going{{ down, -the car rreturallyIoes faster.
The horse does not, necessarily. The
loose traces slap his heels, and eventually
the car threatens to hoist him bodily into
the air. At this stage, the driver speeds
upthe horse. It is then that you realise
what a horrible war it is, after all.

limbs along, mouth open and perspiring

calls to the driver, above the roar of the
wheels, "We'll never get there tonight, at
this rate!" He's used to it.
What Frits Would Meet
Stretches of wire --"concertina," "double
apron," 'single apron." 1f Fritz ever does
pull that big offensive and break through,
he'll find the back areas bad to traverse.
Now w e carne to a hat was once a French
village. Shellfire has not left much above
ground. and not a light is visible, but
most of those cellars are billets for troops.
Some of them are units' headquarters.
German gunners still shell the place, but
one has to put up with that.
A single black cross at the head of a
mound beside the communication trench.
Poor lad. Perhaps a stray shell stopped
him on his way in. Maybe he died in a
stretcher on his way out, wounded. The
burial officer has the map location of that
spot and that six feet of France "shall be
forever England.•.
Another French town, only three-quar-
ters broken r own. No civilians. A
glimpse of hidden lights in the cellars
show that a Canadian medical unit, a
support battalion, perhaps, and most likely
a Y. M. C. A. are there. The ration
tar roars through like a Wellington south
car on its midnight trip.
Again through the blackness. We must
be about halfway between the far-off flash
of that British "heavy" and the spot
where its huge shell lands, in enemy
territory. Fritz in the front line is still

Canadians have a vile habit of raiding
his private holdings. Finally we glide to
a standstill in another ex -town, where
cars and trucks and G. S. wagons con-
gregate, and we alight. "Ho, look at all
the Fritzie helmets come down in the
salvage! What are they going to do with
them, Quarter?" Rum jars. equipment,
mesa tins, mysterious lump sacks.
"The more stuff they send out, the
more we can draw from them," says the
quartermaster.

France is full of mines. There's an-
other civilian stoking a fire in the boiler -
room, but he still wears the faded blue
trousers that were part of his uniform
before he.ceased to be of use to the French
army.
Why. this is a big town! And the
houses all have roofs on. People are liv-
ing in them! Bless my soul, if there isn't
a woman! A large church,with only one
small shell -hole! This IS civilization. The
soldiers lire not wearing steel helmets.

A Way to Soften the Hard
Water of the Bath
Get out the LUX package—pour in 3 or 4 table-
spoonfuls into the water and stir a little. The
water immediately becomes creamy soft, most
refreshing and very beneficial to the skin. Try it
to -night. You'll be pleased, well pleased. People
where the water is unusually hard just revel in
LUX
for the bath. Especially where babies are con-
cerned.
These silky -smooth little flakes of the purest
essence of soap exercise a soothing and
cleansing effect on the skin that is very
•trattulating after a trying day.
