toilet or nursery than a delight
ful talcum powder. It is good
for the ekin and pleasant to use.

Talcum
is a pure antiseptic powder of
impalpable fineness. It is heal
ing, cooling and refreshing in
effect; especially desirable as a
face powder in hot weather, as

'I was just past the line when a
sniper got me in the foot, and I
hopped back, hoping that he would
not try again," a Canadian, was "ex
plaining his wound.
"I got into a communication trench
and almost fell into a German dugout,
As I stumbled about the entrance, I
heard shouts of 'Kamerad!' and
'Mercy!' There wore two Germans
down the hole, and I called them out.
They would not come at first and I
wished that I had a bomb to persuade
them I only had my rifle and bayonet-

the prisoners to the supports and
hopped along to the dressing station.
The surgeon told me that my wound
was cood enough for England, be
cause the bullet had smashed some of
the bones in my foot. We found it in
my foot. It was quite flattened out.
"The coolest thing I've seen out
there," said a private of the Argyll
! and Sutherland, "was after the ad
Ivcnce had broken into open fighting.
! Our shell-holes were next to a bat
talion of the Gordons and I dropped
into one of them for a visit.

were no such things as shells flying
around.. 'Man, Serjbant-major," I saidj.

suddenly a Boche turned up at the

only knows, but wo were a bit mixed
up with the Germans 'round us near

as if he meant mischief, but it dinae

just laid down his razor and picked up
his rifle and bayonet, and sauntered
out with soap down one side. of hjs

"The Boche had a bomb in his hand,
but he dropped it without drawing

him up into the shell-hole, dropping

DEMAND FOR
ALUMINUM INCREASES
Chieaeo. Julv 13. The United
States will .require 50,000 tons of
aluminum a year for aeroplane and
motor vehiclo construction to carry on
the war against Germany, according
to Dr. F. C. Weber of Chicago, a
chemist and experimental inventor.
This amount of aluminum, weDur
snvs. cannot be obtained from baux
ite, its present source.. We must use
kaolin, or fireclay, which the Germans
have been using since their source of
French bauxite has been cut off. Web
er says this country's' supply of kao
lin is practically inexhaustible- ino
largest deposits are in Illinois.
Weber has submitted nis tneory to

which in turn will take it up with the
Council of National Defense.
AMERICA'S BOARD OF

Samuel Gompers, president of the

At times, Gompers has been accused
