Crean of Chicken Sandwich. -One-
half cup diced white chicken meat, 1
teaspoon powdered gelatine, 1 eup

chicken, then lay the tomato rings on
top of the chicken; add a little more of
the mayonnaise on the tomato and last than stock soups, • peeially with regard to employrnent
the baking hour, mending hour, sweep-
ing, etc. Thus a sort of competition
is started between the alarm and the
housewife and races must be run for
one or the other to win out.
The Right Way to Buy,
An experienegd housekeeper has
drawn up her rules for buying pro-
visions. She is famous for her sys-
tem in all things domestic, and she
declares that it is by sticking to these
faithfully that she knows how to save
a penny here and there from the fam-
ily income. Here they aro, and all
who run may read and profit thereby.
First -Pay cash for air purchases.
Second -Buy all loose vegetables,
fruits and meats only after personal
inspection -not over the telephone. Be
thoroughly familiar with the nature
and quality of all that you buy.
Third -Inferior brands of food do
not pay-bhe best is none too good for
one's daily meals.
Fourth -Buy keepabie things in
large quantities.
Fifth -Keep systematic account of
all purchases. Let it be detailed, but
concise.,
Sixth -Never buy unnecessary
things.
Seventh -Patronize reliable dealers.
They will appreciate you if you pay
cash, and if they feel you appreciate
their reliability they will never fail
you.

HiS MAJESTY THE KING AND QUEEN AT THE MEMORIAL SERVICE TO LORD KITCHENER
The photograph shows their Maiestles the King and Queen leaving BuckinghamPalacefor St, Paul's Cathe.
Aral, where the memorial services to Lord Kitchener were held.
AN IMPERIAL MEMORIAL
Appeal to the British Public for As-
sistance.
Peace is not yet yet in sight,'but
it is not too soon to prepare to deal
with certain problems which will arise
on its conclusion and directly affect
the welfare of those who have fought
for use When peace does come one
of the first thoughts of a grateful peo-
ple will be as to some Memorial to
its heroes, bo those who have fallen
and to those who survive.
The eucleus of such a Memorial al-
ready exists in the Veterans' Club,.
Hand Court, High Holborn, London, a
Club which is very ;dear to the hearts
of many now fighting in the trenches
or keeping watch upon bhe seas. The
originat Club was opened five years
ago to fill the want often expressed
by the ex -service man, of a place
where he could meet old comrades in

There were 7,000 members on the
register of the Veterans' Club before
the war, the great majority of whom
have now re -joined the colors, but in
view of the enormous increase of our
naval and military forces and bhe vast
numbers of veterans who will leave
the services at the expiration of the
war, it is necessary that the whole
scope of the "Veteran's Club" should
be enlarged if it is to be of adequate
use. The present Club building is
quite inadequate for a large member-
ship, moreover it is also thought that
branches should be established not
only in the principal centres of the
mother country, but also in the Dom-
inions, for the use of the large num-
ber of men from those Dominions who
have fought for the Empire, which
would also constitute centres to which.

Alarm Clock System -
The alarm clock's possibilities for
helpfulness .aren't fully appreciated.
Most women look upon it an aneces-
sary evil, a.disturber of the gray
dawn, and let it go at that; whereas,
it is only waiting to exploit its ver-
satile qualifications as cook, nurse,
guardian, disciplinarian, memorandum
and assistant housekeeper in general.

tious cook. The housewife has but to

HUNS BEMOAN BUTCHERY.
SIGNALING AMONG ' ANCIENTS.
Various Methods Were Employed to
Transmit Messages.
Considering the amount of thought
and attention bestowed on the art of
war by the ancients, it is strange that
so little information regarding the
methods of transmitting orders among
their armies and fleets should have
filtered down to modern times. For,
as the Greek historian, Polybius, who
lived in the second century, B.C., very
justly observed, " Opportunity is of
great advantage in all things, but
especially in war ; . and among the
several things which have been in-
vented to enable man to seize it, noth-
ing can be more conductive to that end
German Soldiers Describe Verdun as
a Hell -Hole.
H. Warner Allen, special represen-
tative of the British prose with the
French army, sends some extracts
from letters written by German sol-
diers before Verdun and taken from
their .pockets when the writers were
captured.
From a letter written by Lieut.
Elhl;en, of the 6th Reserve Infantry
Regiment:-
" April 3. -You can form some idea
of our position from the fact that all
our officers have been renewed. Loss-
es of the regiment are high, for its
positionon the plateau of Vaux is
simply disgusting. Our battalions
relieve one another, but our positions
when in reserve or resting receive as
many shells as the first line."
From a letter dated April 11, whit
ten by a private soldier named Slum -
der, of the 80th Infantry Regiment :
" We are absolutely' in a hell -hole
here. The artillery fires night and
day. If only this wretched war would
come to an end. No reasonable mac
can justify such a butchery of men.
Though we have not been long in the
firing line, we have all had enough of
it and are lookir(q for peace. We
should like to send to the front all
these gentlemen who caused the war
and who profit from it."
HOW COCOANUTS GROW. .
And How the Palm Grows Where
None Grew Before.
Why do cocoanuts have "eyes ?"
This, say the naturalists, is the rea-
son : Cocoanuts generally grow at
the edge of seas or rivers, and a good
many of the nuts as they become ripe
fall into the water. The nuts are
covered witha thick husk, Which has
a waterproof covering, so that they
will float. As they float, the three
eyes, which are all at one end of the
nut, are always ori top.
Once in the water, nature goes to
Wot'k. From one of "the eyes there
comes a shoot that sends forth broad
leaves that act as sails. The wiltd

place to place ; and that thus the
massacre of the Romans in Orleans, at
sunrise, was known at Auvergne, 120
miles away, between 8 and 9 o'clock
the same evening.
Obviously, such a method would be
liable to interruption by weather. But,
as human life was little accounted
anmong the ancients, the normal line
of shouters would, doubtless, be sup-
planted when need arose.
A proposal is said to have been
made to Alexander the Great (856-323
B.C.) by a native of Sidon for estab-
lishing an "infallible method" of
communication between Greece and
his remote conquests in India within
the space of five days. The King,
however, regarding the proposer as an
imposter, declined even to consider it,
the fate of many a valuable sugges-
tion in our own times.
Another method, which originated
in the mists of antiquity, was by
means of pigeons. It is related by
Pliny that when the city of Modena
was besieged by Anthony he sought to
prevent all communication with the
outside world by drawing lines around
it and stretching nets across the river.
Decimus Brutus (d 43 B.C.) who was
in charge of the defence, was able to
Laugh at these precautions by using
pigeons, to whose feet letters were
fastened; which duly reached their
destinations. " Of what use were An-
tony's entrenchments and sentinels,
and of what service were all the nets
he spread," asked Pliny, " when the
new courier took his route through
the air ?"
FOOD FOR THOUGHT.

tells us it " a small flying or chawl-
ing animal.'

animal, then, is the grasshopper 1 It

that in birth, or more probably in
brains and character, she was the
"better man." The conjecture that
she wrote the Epistle to the Hebrews
has everything to recommend it. Less
than two centuries later, Origen de-
clared that only God know who worte
it; and a woman's authorship best ac-
counts for the suppression of the name
needed in 13. 23. She was evidently
.a commanding personality, and we
may well believe her capable of such a
work. The Book of Humanity is
hardly complete if there is nowhere a
woman's handl Claudius -Emperor
A. D. 41-54. "He expelled the Jews
from Rome for perpetual riots, under
the instigation of Chrestus," says
Suetonius, his biographer; and it is
generally believed that this is a mud-
dled notice of Jewish persecution of
those who declared Jesus to be
"Christ" -a name the Romans could
not understand. The Jews were
soon back again (see Acts 28. 15).
3. Paul had a trade, though a well-
to-do man's son, for therabbis laid
down the healthy maxim that one who
did not teach his son to work taught
him to be a thief. He came to need
it when his father cut him off on his

probable conjecture noted earlier,
The industry was a staple one at Tar -
Isus, whose special breed of goats sup-
plied the -material for weaving this

talking to his workmates through
long hours of manual labor, and re-
warded by the winning of his most
valued helpers.
4. Sought bo persuade -Or pleaded

ought never to have been excluded.

the continuous tense, but it seems to
Idescribe a new campaign of evangel-
ism which began when his comrades
returned. Their report of work done
in Macedonia may well have kindled
him afresh, after the deep discourage -1
ment under which he began his min-
istry in Corinth (1 Cor, 2. 3). No
wonder he felt it acutely, as a genius
and a scholar, when he was cut short
with jeers in the intellectual metropo-
lis. He could only devote himself to
necessary toil for daily bread', and a
seemingly unsuccessful weekly argu-
ment in the synagogue. The coming
of his friends gave hint new courage
and zeal. Compare 2 Cor. 7. 6, It
is always well to remember that Paul
was very human, and liable beyond
most men to suffer under emotional
strain.
6. Reviled (margin) -So read. Your
blood [is] upon your own heads -So
read. The words are a solemn de -1
claration, not a curse.
7. Apparently Paul left Aquila',
house, not because of disagreement!
with him and Priscilla, but because the!
move to a Gentile lodging, conspie-1
ously near the synagogue, would bring
home to the Jews the significance of f
his action. The next verse shows!
that there was one prominenb Jew at
least who took the warning. Titus -

we should call it.

700 GRAVEYARDS IN GALICIA.
Thousands of Soldiers Buried on the
Scenes of Great Battles.
Under the caption, " More Than 700
Graveyards," the Berliner Vorwarts
recently published an article referring
to the battlefields of Galicia and to
the efforts being made by the Austrian
authorities to bring some sort of or-
der into the chaotic conditions pre-
vailing in the military burying
grounds scattered throughout the
province.
The writer, according to a sum-
mary of the article printed by the
London Daily Chronicle, estimates
that between the town of Gorlice and
the heights of Tarnovo no fewer than
419 graveyards have been cleared of
their unsightly surroundings, and says
that wherever possible natural beaut-
ies in the landscape have been utilized
to lend dignity to the enormous ceme-
teries.
All along the Dunajec graveyards
are thickly strewn over the entire`
countryside. Russians, Austrians,
Germans, Hungarians to the number
of 40,000 are buried in masses in one
grave. In West Galicia alone about
600 graveyards exist, and in other
parts more than 100. From the
Dunajec eastward the multitudinous
graves of the Russians are seen
stretching away into the eastern
plains, an awful record of the death
grapple of last year.
