Thanks in part to the allies' help

people, King Albert's army will not
be obliged to suffer this winter the
hardships and privations that fel' to
Its lot during the first two winter
of the war. The Belgium army has
been completely equipped and outfit

furnished by the allies, yet a goodly
portion Is due to the Belgians them
selves. They have established numer
ous factories not only on the remnant
of Belgian soil still left to them, but
also in France.
These factories not only supply the
troops, but give employment to thou

The Belgians are perfecting their
army. The cavalry has been entirely
remounted almost without excep
tion on American horses bought large
ly In TexaA That portion of Belgium
which remains in possession of the
Belgian army doesn't offer satisfac
tory grounds for cavalry drill. There,
fore the various Belgian cavalry di
visions take turnB in drilling on
French grounds, keeping up to the
highest standards of efficiency while
waiting for the time when they can
participate In the redemption of Bel.
gian soil.
Artillery Branch Developed.
The artillery branch has likewise
been developed to a point where the
Belgians can boast of perhaps the
most formidable artillery strength ot
any army of Its size in the world.
The present war having demonstra
ted the supreme role which artillery
plays, the allies have seen to it that
the Belgian army is quipped in the
fullest po-slble manner. To their or.
iginal field artillery the Belgians
themselves were able to add a num
ber of batteries from Portuguese fac
tories anil France and England have
added all their tpyes of heavy artil
lery. I.wiih learned frtuu Ciornmns.
No small contribution was also
made to the Belgian artillery by the
Germans themselves. When as a last
resource In the fighting of 1914 the
Belgians opened the floodgates tha:
Inundated great portions of their soil,
the Germans had to beat such a hasty
retreat that they abandoned heavy
and light artillery, since that time
the perfection of the Belgian "inun
dated defenses" has made it possible
for the army to let off sufficient of
the water to permit recovery of nearly
all of this German artillery. It has
been repaired' and a great deal of It
is now effectively serving the Bel
gians. If the allies have been generous
In helping Belgium, the Belgian army
has likewise been as gnerous to Its
fighting comrades Since the "wa
ter barriers" prevented close contad
with the enemy. Belgium gave to
Russia the famous armored automo
biles which played such an important
part for Belgium In the early days o(
the war.
Father Time is limping through
the last day of 1916, marking the
close of a banner year for ALEX

STORE the biggest year in

The World do move, and so we

our most sincere wish that it will

Situated as we all are in the

Among the novelties which tend to

butter. During the winter, when but

little buckets may be placed on a

the butter from absorbing the flavors
of food placed In the refrigerator. The
pails may be painted to suit the indi

I'XBIIKAK ABLE GLASS.
Glass that is transparent, yet un
breakable, is the most recent Inven
tion of interest to the householder.
A ball that is thrown against one of
these new window panes bounces
back as it would from a stone wall; a
brick cannot shatter it. Any heavy
weight thrown full force against it
repounds. with no flying glass as a
result. This break-proof glass Is
made of a sheet of white, transparent
celluloid, twenty-one thousandths of
p.n inch thick, placed between two
pieces of glass. The glass and the
celluloid are welded together under
high temperature and tremenilous
pressure, and the result is a solid
sheet possessing all the transparency
of the best phue glass, combined with
the strength of a sheet of metal.
MEXOIXG HINTS.
To mend a glove that is split at th
thumb or near a seam, buttonhole the
kid either side of the split and then
sew the buttonholed edges together.
The result will be a new firm seam
ithat will never tear aeain When but
tonholing take a good hold of the kid
otherwise the ftitches will pull out
from the kid.
All stockings, irrespective! of the
material, should be darned wt'h
darning silk. Not only does it make
a neater diirn. but it wears better and
does not hurt the foot.
