Oa tb side of each appeared in white letters, "Homnes 40, Chevaux 8." After hours of bumping over the uneven French roadbeds they arrived at the training base of Rouen. At this place they were put through a week's rigid training in trench war fare. On the morning of the eighth day they paraded at ten o'clock, and were inspected and1(1 passed by General H---, then were marched to the quar termaster's, to draw their gas helmets and trench equipment. At four Ia the afternoon they were again hustled into cattle cars. 'This time the Journey lasted two days. They disembarked at the town of Fre vent and could hear a distant dull booming. With knees shaking, Lloyd asked the sergeant what the noise was, and nearly dropped when the sergeant replied in a somewhat bored tone: "Oh, them's the guns up the line. We'll be up there in a couple o' days or so. Dot't worry, my laddie, you'll see more of 'em than you yant bef-pre you get 'ome to Blighty again, that is, if you're lucky enough to get back. Now lend a hand their unloadin' them cars, and quit that eved'astin' slmkln'. I believe yer scared." The last with a Contemptuous sneer. They marched ten kilos, full pack, to a little dilapidated village, and the sound of the guns grew louder, con stantly louder. The village was full of soldiers who turned out to inspect the new draft, the nen who were shortly to be their mates in the trenches, for they were going "up the line" on the morrow, to "take over" their certain sector of trenches. The draft was Paraded in front of battalion headquarters and the men were assigned to companies. Lloyd was the only man assigned to 1D company. Perhaps the oflicer in charge of the draft had something to do with it, for he called Lloyd aside and said: "Lloyd, you are going to a new com Pany. No one knows you. Your bed will be as you make it, so for God's sake, brace up and be a man. I think you have the stuff in you, my boy, so good-by and the best of luck to you." The next day the battalion took over their Part of the trenches. It happened to he a very quiet day. The artillery behind the lines was still, except for an oecitsional shell sent over to let the Germans know the gunners were not asleep. In the darkness, in single file, the coilplny slowly wended their way lown the comnlunication trench to the front line. No one noticed Lloyd's I white and drawn face. After they had relieved the company in the trenehes, Lloyd, with two of the 1 old company 1n, was put on guard in one of the traverses. Not a shot was - fired from the German lines, and no s one paid any attention to him crouched on the firing step. it On the first time in, a new recruit is Y not required to stand with his head "over the top." He only "sits it out," - while the older men keep watch. At about ten o'clock, all of a sudden, he thought hell had -broken loose, and crouched and shivered up against the parapet. Shells started bursting, as he imagined, right in their trench, when in fact they were landing about a hun. dred yairds inl rear of them,. in the sec, ,nd( lines. lO of tlie older 11en1 01n guanrd, turn. lng to) his mal~te, said: "There goes Fritz w..ith thiose di-d trenich mlortars agaiun.

MEALS FOR THE DAY. In thesb days of conservation of wheat, the breakfast helps one meal to pass with little com ment or a great deal of planning. Ve have any number of breakfast foods that will supply a fair meal with top milk. A good dish of well cooked oatmeal with top milk or thin cream will be all the children will care for. The 0(1er members of the family will prob ably like muffins or griddle cakes with a cupful of coffee. Most delicious, fluffy corn flour cakes can be made by using one beaten egg, a half-tea spoonful of salt, a cupful of sour milk ; the richer the better, and a half-tea spoonful of soda ; stir in enough corn flour to make it of the consistency liked for cakes. The thinner they will cook and turn well the more delicate is the texture of the cake. Serve these with maple sirup or corn sirup and the family will ask for thetm again and again. Fried cornineal mush is another good and substantial breakfast dish "which will stay by" until another meal. Bits of meat, chopped dried fruit like dates and figs or nuts, are all good to add to it and increase the food value of the dish. Vegetables, because of their bulk, are inost necessary and should form a large part of the food of the entire family after it is out of the milk stage. Vegetabiles are rich in mineral salts and vegetable acids as well as the wonderful and little known, growth determinants. "An onion a day keeps the doctor away." If the womcen who are an ounce overweight would cut out one nmeal 11 day or eat very lightly at luncheon and lnot gorm1andize at dinner, they woul( feel better, be hap pier and a1ble to aCcompllish more work and at the silame time he (loing somnething to help win the war by con1 serving food. Children should not be stinted, as they need food for growt1 ; blut the average man or woman might easily cut down the food from 01 quarter to a half and gain in physical as well as mental power by 50 (10111g. It is not well to serve cornmneal at noon or night if it has been served ini any form at breakfast. unless the fam thy is especially fond of it. Cottage Cheese Club Sandwich.
