-|romantic turn of mind, Shaving Single Handed, in a Military Hospital Only those who have been there can realize what the Gillette Safety Razor is doing for the wounded ! Clean shaving on the firing line, possible only 'with a Gillette, has saved endless trouble in dressing face wounds. In the hands of orderly or nurse it shortens by precious minutes the preparations for operating. Later, in the hands of the patients, it is a blessing indeed ! As soon as their strength begins to return, they get the Gillette into action, and fairly revel in the finishing touch which it gives to the welcome clean- liness of hospital life. For though he can use but one hand--and that one shaky--a man can shave himself safely and comfortably with a Gillette Safety Razor. It may seem a little thing to you to send a Gillette to that dad you know Overseas, 'but to him it will mean so much! It will bring a touch of home comfort to his life on active service, and be even more appreciated if he gets "Blighty". 240 country to their own or setting up --_-- |clearing houses for prisoners' let- Benevolent Work Carried on in Swit- | ters, or helping in many other ways, zerland. | Switzerland has shown herself eager to do her utmost to ease the burden One of the bright spots in the war) of war for her neighbors.

To this day Captain Barber does not know how he got there, and he resolutely declines to accept Captain Niolett's version as the mere off- spring of a disorered imagination. He also denies the truth of a state- ment circulated in the town that night that, instead of replying to a lead- ing question in the manner plainly laid down in the Church Service, he an- swered, "I suppose so." He came out of the church with a buzzing in his ears and a mist before his eyes. Something was clinging to his arm, which he tried several times to shake off. Then he discov- ered that it was Mrs. Barber. Of the doings of the crew of the Foam that night it were better not to speak. Suffice it to say that when they at length boarded their ship Tim was the only one who still possessed a hat, and in a fit of pride at the cir- cumstance, coupled, perhaps, wit other reasons, went to bed in it.

On two or three occasions the girl had accompanied him on board the steamer, and at such times it was Mr. Green's pleasure to wink in a frenzied manner at Mr. Joe Smith, and to make divers bets of pints of beer, listen to. He also said that anyone with half an eye could see what was in the wind. "And a very nice couple they'll make, too," said Joe, solemnly. "An' what about Cap'n Flower?" suggested Mr. Green; "she's evident Joe shuffled uneasily. He was be- ginning to entertain a considerable re- gard for his new skipper, dating from the time he discovered that his sinister suspicions concerning him were un- founded. He had moreover conceiv- ed a dog-like admiration for Poppy Tyrell. "That's 'is business,'* he said, short- ly; "judging by what you 'eard in that pub, Cap'n Flower knows where to put is hand on one or two more if 'e wants 'em." : He walked off in dudgeon, ignoring a question by Mr, Green as to whose foot kep' the door open, and felt dimly can serve two masters; and, with a view to saving himself worry, dismiss- ed the matter from his mind until some weeks afterwards it was forcibly revived by the perusal of a newspaper which the engineer had brought aboard.

Then he went up on deck, and beckoning to Joe, pointed with a trembling finger to the fatal para- graph.

"He's done it this time, and no mis- take," said Joe, at last. "Well, 'e was a good sgailorman and a_ kind master."

Since the vegetable is cook- ed before making into soup, any left- from dinner can be used to make a hot soup for supper or lunch , Onions, carrots, celery, potatoes, can- jned corn, peas, or tomatoes, are gen- lerally well liked.
