In his home at Waldegrove, N.S., no one is better known than Sent.- Major Cross, late of the 4th Queen’s Own Hussars. Speaking of the ill- effects of a campaign upon a. man’s constitution, the Sash-Major writes: “I served under General French dur- ing the late Boer war. in the capacity of Sergt.â€"Major. It was perhaps ow- ing to a continued diet of bully beef, hard tack, and bad water, but at any rate my stomach entirely gave out. I was in such a state that I could eat nothing without the greatest suffer- ing. The army doctors did not help me much, and since leaving the ser- vice I have been very miserable. Some few months ago a friend told me he had been a great sufferer from indi- gestion until he tried Dr. Hamilton's Pills; they cured him. I confess it was without much faith I bought a box, but the first dose made me feel better than I had been for a long time. Dr. Hamilton's \Piils complete- ly cured, and now I can eat every. thing and anything.

When a saucepan is burnt or blackened, rub the inside with a hard orust of bread dipped in salt, then wash with hot soda and water. Always wash the lid of a saucepan as care- fully as the pan itself, for the flav- or of one dish may cling to it and spoil the next which is cooked in that particular pan. Place all fish- kettles and saucepans in front of the fire for a. few minutes after washing so that they be thoroughly dried inside. This keeps them in good condition and makes them last longer.
