butter, lioney, tea and chocolate. Both the milk and cream 
are sterilised and will keep sweet for se\cral weeks. 
All that is necessary is to send the name and regiment 
and a remittance to the firm responsible for this brilliant idea. 
They then take the matter in hand, and for the sum of. six 
shillings inclusive the man at the Front will receive a' delight- 
ful present. Smaller cases containing fewer bottles of this 
much appreciated milk are also available at 3s. 3d. 
Performing 
Animals. 
British - made plush animals, which 
actually do what their small owners tell 
them, are making a sensation. The 
secret lies in the spiral springs 
concealed within their legs. 
l'21ephants, donkeys, bears, cats 
and dogs are all made in this 
particular way, and all follow 
the same obliging directions. 
By tapping it on the head 
I he animal walks, on the back 
it goes backwards. Striking it 
\cry sharply on the head 
makes the toy sit up, while if it 
is dropped sharply on its legs it will bounce and turn a 
somersault in more or less graceful fashion. Each animal 
has a long-ended bow of ribbon round its neck, and by 
dangling this wonderful things can be done. It will walk, dance 
or jump according to the whim and skill of its possessor, and 
great will be the merriment. 
These animals are soft and furry, and make fascinating 
toys for even the smallest children. They are kept in a great 
number of different sizes costing 3s. gd. upwards. How great 
is the range of size may be guessed from the fact that the 
last price for monster animals is 89s. 6d. 
Stockings that 
Wear. 
English made hole- proof stockings of 
soft wear-resisting yarn are bringing 
immense business to their sole producers. 
These stockings are all marked with a special stamp, without 
■ which none are genuine. They are comfortable to wear, 
and being warm without excessive thickness are unbeatable 
as a winter stocking. 
A woman wearing these stockings is saved all the trouble 
unreliable hose bring. The ankles, heels, toes and feet being 
carefully spliced has much to do with the splendid way in 
which they wear, but other important points are their expert 
make and good material. The feet are hand-seamed, and this, 
as most people know, is rare with moderately priced stockings. 
The ones in question cost is. 3d. only, three pairs costing 
3s. 8d. A box containing half a dozen is 7s., and these should 
last sijv months without darning, so that seven shillings could 
hardly be spent to better purpose. These hole-proof hose 
are stocked in black, tan, and white. 
Children's hole-proof stockings in black or tan cost 
IS. 2d. a pair in sizes 2 to 6. Three pairs cost 3s. 3d., and as 
in addition to other precautions they have specially spliced 
knees they are invaluable hose for the small folk. 
A Cure for 
Chilblains. 
Something in the way of a reliable 
cure for chilblains is wanted by many 
people just now, whether it be for their 
own use at home, or for sending to friends and relations at the 
Front. 
Chilliline is a remedy which has stood the test of time 
and experience, and can be recommended in every way. 
It is made by a well-known firm of manufacturing chemists 
who seem to have a special knack of presenting just the right 
thing at the right moment. This chilblain jelly of theirs has 
♦been used and well spoken of for a considerable time, but now 
with ihe comfort of our fighting forces in everybody's mind its 
value is intensified. It is safe and very efficacious. Being 
sold in collapsible tubes all that is necessary is to press out a 
little of the jelly upon the affected part, rub it gently in, 
and let time do the rest. It is worth noting that the cure, as a 
general rule, works exceedingly quickly, inflammation is 
promptly reduced, and pain and irritation allayed immediately. 
The price of a good sized tube is is. 3d., irrespective of 
postal rates to the Expeditionary Forces. 
For Personal 
Belongings. 
Everybody at the Front has fome small 
possessions, meaning much to his com- 
fort and well being, which he wishes 
to keep from damp, rain, or any other harm. It is towards 
this end that one of the most reliable waterproof khaki hold- 
alls ever invented has been designed. It is very strongly 
made, stoutly bound, and will withstand the roughest usage, 
while its waterproof qualities are past all shadow of dotibt.
