One of 'the easiest ways to clean silver is to wash it with a soft cloth saturated with kerosene, thcn rinse it with scalding water. A long bath in sour milk will clean badly tarnish- cd silver. If vinegar cruets are filled with it and left awhile the film on the inside will soon disappear. Alcohol and salt will remove egg stains immediately. and alcohol and soda is also a' good cleanser. Many prefer using alcohol to ammonia, though the latter does the work. - A chamos bag filled with powder- ed magnesia is very useful for polish- G. ing all silver articles. An old piece of ill velvet will prove wonderful for polish- S. ing silver. and a broken clotliespin x, is a handy contrivnnce. Covered with a cloth, the flat, rounded tip will be Y more useful in working between the tines of a fork and mouldings that require more friction than a brush can give.

For two we were standing by, just behind the firing line. We had to live in a ditch at the side of a road until the rain came down in torrents and flooded us out. The only thing to do was to walk up and down the road and risk the shell fire. At last they got us into a shattered bam, but we were just settling down when the word came to go up to the firing line. We set off. but the officer guid- ing us was shot and we came to a standstill. “The Germans opened a heavy fire and we made for some trenches, but found them already occupied, so we had to lie down behind for about two hours and freeze. After a bit all the platoons went off to the firing line, ex- cept ours; we were to he in support trenches. After a bit the regulars, who were relieving, filed by. They were in a terrible state as the trenches were waist deep in slush. Lots of them were crying with agony, others were gibbering mad. We had to take their places-it was a cheerful prospect. Our engineer officer gave our platoon leave, if we liked to take the risk of fire, to dig new trenches for ourselves, but the regulars tried it the night before and lost a lot of men. However, we took it on but luckily did not lose a msn. We simply worked like fiends. It was fine during the day, but later the rain came down again and every- thing we had was soaked, our clothes soaked to the skin. The water rose higher and higher, and we had to stand for twenty-four hours in slush and water; it came up over one's aiik- les and it was impossible to feel one's feet. “When we were relieved we had a ten-mile march back to our billets. lt was not a march, but a sharnble, with men dropping down at the side of the road. The other platoons were worse than we were; they had been waist deep in water all the time. Lots of them were absolutely bent double with cramp, one died of exposure. We had one shot, one wounded. I am all right myself now. I think the march really saved me,11.s I could not stand up when we first got out of the trench. "We arrived home at 3 o‘clock yes- terday hlrning and just flopped down in our wet things and slept. We had had no sleep for three nights. “I tlilnk neat rum and chocolate were the things that saved our lives.” THE TERRITORIALS An officer from Winnipeg writes: “I have come in contact to a certain extent with some of the Territorial Forces which have come over from England and while I do not for one minute wish to imply that they are aiiythlng but the good old English fighting men, they cannot. in my hum- ble opinlon, compare with the Canad- ians as regards discipline, efficiency or physique. This, of course, is per- haps easily understood when we con- sider thnt the Canadians come from probably one of the most healthy coun- tries iii the world, totally devoid of crowded cities, unhealthy conditions and all those things which tend to- ward a deterioration of physique and figlitlng qualifications. “l think we should feel ourselves deeply honored when we realize that we are the first irregular division to be entrusted with u. portion of the line, and when one considers just what this menus and the awful possibilities that would ensue were we to be found want- ing, it is indeed gratifying to realize what confidence has been placed in us. "There is of course one supremely single idea in the inlnds of everyone here as regards the final outcome of the war, but I am inclined to think that the Johnnies on the spot believe it will take a great deal longer to fin- ish than wus originally anticipated." INCIDENTS OF TRENCH LIFE' A member of the staff of the Cana- dian Emigration Office, serving in the 25th Battalion London Regiment, writes to a colleague under date July 2-ith: "Many thanks for your letter and cigarettes. The only cigarettes we can buy are French, and cannot get on with them. so any cigarettes from home are always welcome. Things are still very quiet here. We are in the trenches again for about eight days, and then back for a rest. You don’t know how we are looking forward to this rest; we all want one. The aero- planes have been very actlvo lately. I saw our guns hit one the other day. and saw the piece fly off. but it man- aged to get away, although badly hit. It is very exciting to watch, I can tell yon. We are in here with the new army, and a finer lot of chaps you could not wish to see. lt rained heavily the first day they were iii, so they had the worst side of trench life at the start." SAVED BY THE MAPLE LEAF BADGE A Winnipeg man. Private George Anderson, of one of the Canadlaii bat- talions, who recently returned home wounded and is now in his native town of Fraserburgh, tells a curious story of how his maple leaf badge saved his life. Soon after his arrival he was in the trenches at Festubert. On his third day there the Bavarlnns attack- cd in large numbers, and the Canad- ians were kept busy firing at them. Anderson was recharging his magazine and was about to fire when he was hit in the neck. I-Ie lay for several hours iiniil the attack was repelled before the stretcher-bearers could attend to lilm. lt was then found that the bullet had struck him on the right side ofthe neck and was deflected from its course through the windplpe and jugular vein by the maple leaf badge. The bullet PURE BLOOD MAKES HEALTHY PEOPLE Hood'a Sarsaparilla removes serofnla sores, boi s and other snip- tiona, because it drives out of the blood the humor: that eause them. Eruptions cannot be successfully treated with external applications, because these cannot punfy the Mol(-ldod' 8 'll sk rl h a arss a in as c , red blood, psrlxa the digestion, and builds up the wllols axon. In- sist on baring Hoed's. it nov. and the badge lie keeps as souvenirs of his brief experience of the trenches. A FLYING COLUMN A New Brunswick m`an serving with the Canadian Englneers,` writing to his mother. says: ‘l don’t know where we are now in the lea'st. We seem to he a sort of flying column, standing by saddled up while a devil of ascrap goes on ahead. However, things seem to be going well, and the cheery wounded adorned with helmets keep our courage up. . . . Am suffering from cuts which fester as the result of the soil or had feeding. I suppose.
