In June 1940 they reach. they were forced to stop and have doubtless abandoned the idea of crossing to England. In the Iat- ter part of 1941 they were so close to Moscow that they could tee the Kremlin. A few months ago they were halted just before reaching Alexandria.

"Of course she didn't," Mrs. Fitzpatrick insisted vehemently, "haven't you got two eyes between the lot of you?" There was an embarrassed sil ence as they realized the truth of Mrs. Fitzpatrick's statement. "I'm sorry," the Chronicle man said. "He was with your son-- looking for that machine gun nest, He was shot by a sniper." "Ob, how dreadful! Only the other day Teddy wrote about him, They--they were great friends."

" 'I--1 know how you feel about his mother-- but Tony's a real gent--beg par. don--gentleman." That's a little Joke we had," she explained. - : "And we've become great friends," she continued. "In fact, knowing him has been the swellest thing that's happened to me in the Army." "I can't tell yon how much this means to me," Mrs, Winters said gratefully. 'We should both be very proud of our sons." For a moment Stella looked at ber, then started to sob quietly. 'Please don't ery," sald Mrs. Winters tenderly. "I've just had word they're giving Tony the Dis- tinguished Service Cross, too." "I'm" so glad," said Stella wiping her eyes. "And so sorry -- for so many things." * + Elliott Fulton was waiting for Mrs. Hadley+whern she returned to her home. "Stella, I'm here on official busi- ness," he explained.

THE END. Navy Uses Dogs To Detect Planes Sea-going dogs - are making a record in the North Sea as detec- tors of aircraft. Commanding offi- cers of warships escorting convoys found that dog mascots, after a few air attacks, sense the approach of planes before the noise of the engines Is within the range of human hearing. The dogs, all mon- grels, stiffen and "point" towards the sound. The commanding of- ficer of one armed trawler told a London. interviewer that after he had witnessed this three times ho trained his guns in the direction in which his pet was staring, and n always planes soon appeared.

The following is taken {rom ihe literature supplied by the nutri- tional Supervisor of the Camedian Red Cross. Milk is one of the most import. ant foods because it furnishes the material which is necessary for good bones and teeth, and It also helps to safeguard the ~general-- health. Canadian doctors in the pamphlet "Food for Health - in Peace and War" advise us that every child should have at least 11 piats of milk each, day and cach adult at least 1x pint, Does your family have this mach milk? If you are not using that amount start today to plan for more milk in your menus if yon wish to have children grow into strong, healthy adults. Cheese also is another form of milk which contains in large quan- tities materinl for the muscles. Cheese also has a pleasing flavor which makes it valuable for com- "bining with other foods such ay macaront-and rice. When served with these it helps to take the place of meat. cheese is equal 3 quarts of milk. There are many forins of milk One pound of to approximately on the market today. Here are some of them---Whole milk, skim milk, powdered milk, Chocolate milk, Homogenized milk. When you are buying milk it is wise to buy the kind which will give the most bone building mater- fal for the money, Skimmed milk will not contain as much fat or have aus rich a flavor as whole milk. However, it is necessary for some to do without this fat and it does supply the food material {of building teeth and bones. This can be used with a great saving on the milk bill, if you can procure it. Skim milk should not be given 0 babies. Evaporated milk Is just as valu- able as whole milk, and sinte most of it is frcadiated with Vitamin D it Is especially valuable in the low cost of food dist, In 150 in many centres in Ontario its cheaper than whole milk at 12 cents a quart milk is more valuable when it is properly made at home, When there is a desire to econ- Chocolate omize, the children should be ene mraged to have milk drinks ine stead of "pop.
