To Help the 
Wounded. 
A stick for the wounded is amongst the 
feasible suggestions for Christmas presents 
this year. Everybody knows that a 
stout crook-handled stick is the 
] greatest possible help to a con- 
valescent just beginning to move 
about, butthe stick in question goes 
beyond this, being a very carefully 
designed affair. It is fitted with a 
sjiecial foot support. This is made 
of serrated steel, moving' in and 
out in front of the stick a few 
inches above the ground on pre- 
cisely the same principle as tlie 
lilade of a knife. The only differ- 
ence is that while the one is sharp, 
the foot support, naturally enougli, 
is blunted. 
No words can tell the comfort 
f)f such a stick as this to an injured 
man, who is thankful at times to 
rest his foot in such a convenient 
way. Every detail that can add 
to his comfort has been considered. 
The stick is made with a strong 
rubber ferrule'so it is'a'safe support 
when walking on slippery or 
polished surfaces. Being unusually 
strong it holds the heaviest weights. 
This stick was mentioned in these columns a short while 
ago. but owing to a printer's c^or, a slip was made in the 
price. This in reality is los. bd., and the clever contrivance is 
worth every penny of the price. 
Soap for Sea 
Water. 
For Charity 
Bazaars. 
Some soap, which lathers in sea 
water, unscented but nevcrtlieless vcr\- 
fragrantly cleansing is being welcomed 
by many of our fighting men overseas. In the Dardanelles 
it" is jjroving specially useful, and as it is but fourpcnce a 
cake n toW in bo.xes of three for a shilLng. it is distinctly 
ccon'-mical. 
TJiis soap is made by a famous firm of perfumers and 
soapniaJcers from a receipt which Is their own special property. 
It is excellent for the skin, for it is absolutoly pure and of 
first-rate quality. In short, it is just the kind of soap a man 
would like, and, where fresh water is a problem, invaluable. 
There are so many good objects afoot 
just now that sales and bazaars arc 
being received in more welcome spirit, 
especially when they are intended to benefit our figiiting 
forces in any way. An idea for those Jiclping with a stall 
may be found with some cushion pads for covering which 
make into a pretty cushion at \ery little cost. Many i)eoplc 
have i)ieces of silk or brocade by tiiem which arc ideal for 
cushion coverings, and all that they require is the necessary 
stuiTmg. 
These cushions pads are in readiness either filled with 
Java kapoc or pure down, and are covered witli tiie l>est 
quality downproof sateen in black, white, sky blue, green or 
in pink. The covering is of carefully-chosen quality, so that 
(here is no chance of the stuffing working its way through it. 
liach cushion is kept in five different sizes varying from 12 
by 16 inches to 24 inches square in size, and costing from 
IS. 3.UI. to 3s. 6d. with Java stuffing, and from 3s. bd. to Os. i id. 
in do%m. 
The same people are making cushion pads in any size 
according to order, anrl arc also making hospital pads ready 
for covering for the sick and wounded. At tlic present
