118. The composition of Miss Grossman is as follows: Our National Holidays. How did our nation grow to be what it is now, a great, grand Republic? Was it not by the brave actions of some of our great men? So, In memory of them and their deeds, we set aside special days to celebrate the real significance of these great events. The Pilgrim Fathers were Norman Lee, an 1 8-year old American boy. who has been driving an ambulance In France for the last nine months and has proved himself such a brave soldier that the French have given him the Croix de Guerre, writes to his father, a newspaper man here, from a point near Soissons, describing a gas attack and later a shrapnel attack by Germans, in which he figured as one of the attacked.

His letter says in part: "It's 2 a.m. I have Just returned from a trip and it's a good time to write. While I attempt this two men are busily engaged In piling up trench torpedoes just outside of the I call It a dugout; In reality it's only a cellar, but it serves its purpose keeps the 'eclats' from hitting you. Of course a direct hit would be a dlf-fent thing. The bodies dropped a few gas shells over about midnight.

Have you ever heard a rattlesnake? Well, a gas shell has the same effect. No one has to tell you what it is, you know. It just goes 'put' and lets out a greenish vapor. That's enough-down in the dugout; put on your masks and wait until the boches are finished. But it's a ghastly scene; Remcdics to Stop Perspiration.

Please give your opinion of preparations used to check perspiration under the arms. I have hesitated to use such preparations, because I understand they are dangerous. Answer Physiologically, no harm comes from checking local perspiration. Some remedies used for the purpose are irritating and set up dermatitis. One good one is a teaspoonful of formaldehyde solution in a quart of water, to bathe the skin once a day or once every few days.

Or a powder of talcum, ten parts, and salicylic acid, one part, may be dusted on. There are various remedies which are satisfactory. Grain Itch. Is there such a thing as grain Itch? What causes it? How does It differ from hives and ordinary itch? Is Answer Yes, it Is caused by a mite or louse which is present in wheat straw. There is an eruption of wheals, resembling hives or mosquito bites, but at the center of each there Is a minute vesicle.

Frequent warm baths and the application of an ointment of 1 per cent, betanaphthol will relieve it. The clothing must be boiled or fumigated to prevent reinfection. The disease occasionally comes from sleeping on a. straw mattress. Usually the itching subsides in a day or so, and the eruption disappears after a week that Is, if the cause of the trouble Is removed.

Eye Water. Some time ago you recommended an eye water for sore eyes. Will you please print the formula again? Answer A good eye wash is lukewarm normal salt solution, a teaspoonful of salt in a pint of boiled water. If antiseptic action is desired, dissolve a teaspoonful of boric acid tery not far from us and tho boches were trying to silence it by making tho gunners take to cover; hence the shrapnel. I might remark that the entrance of our dugout havbig once been German now 'd the wrong a blanket.

Each shot kept coming nearer and you can't imagine a weirder sound than the whine of bursting shrapnel. Pretty soon it came so near that you could hear pieces hitting the top of the dugout. The last one burst the nearest right in front of the door. Zowle Zing! Patter! Hit! Bang' They ripped through the blanket like a clown going through a paper ring at a circus. I held mv breath and lay still.

Fortunately, none of us got hit but In the morning we picked pieces out of all the walls. The gunners came down In the morning to look us over, and told us tho boches hadn't succeeded in driving them from their guns for a moment. We all agreed with the brancardier who remarked 'Sale bocho." "The same weather continues Think of the poor wounded In It all. But we do help them." first I Douches Not Necessary.

They had landed the previous winter and had lived through the cold and hunger which they had to endure. In spring they planted and waited hopefully for the coming harvest. When it came, so thankful were they for it that they made a fbast and offered up prayers and thanksgiving to God. Who gave It all to them.
