"Anzac" stands for the initial letters of "Australia (and) N«w Zealand Army Corps." The name was first coined at th«'©erdaTielles. It has no reference to Canada, for there were no Canadian troops, just the Army Medical Corps, at the Dardanelles. 2. To remove paint from clothing, sat- urate the spots two or three times with equal parts of ammonia and turpentine, and then wash 6ut in soap 3uds. 3. Nothing whitens the hands so effectively as rubbing a slice of lemon on them once or twice a day. This is also a good way to remove stains from the fingers. Worker: â€" To decorate a table for a Red Cross luncheon, instead of a table- cloth use "runners" of hea-.-y white stuff which can afterward be made in- to nurses' uniforms. At intervals down the table arrange large crosses of red paper. In betweerr, you might place measuring glasses, filled with red and white flowers. Bon- bons may be in the shape of pellets and placed in pill boxes, which mor- tars might hold salted nuts and olives. Instead of napkins, use squares of cheesecloth, folded bandage fashion; these may be saved, washed and sterilized and used for covers for medicine glasses.

Lesson il. Retumin)^ From Captivity â€"Ezra 1. 1-11. Golden Textâ€" Psa. 126. 3. Verses 1-4 contain the proclamation of Cyrus. (>yrus king of Persia â€" Cyrus began his career as king of Anshan» a small district of Elam, to the east of Babylonia. Within a rela- tively short lime he conquered the whole of western Asia. One n' his most important early conque.sts was Persia; hence he is generally known as king of Persia. First year â€" As king- of Babylon; in other words, in B. C. 5o8 or 537. Jeremiah â€" The refer- ence is to Jer. 25. 12, where the promise is made that after seventy yean; the power of Babylon was to be destroyed, which would result in the liberation of the Jews. Since Jere- miah's message is dated ab^ut B. C. 604 the later Jews might well see in the return of 537 a fulfillment of Jeremiah's prediction. The primary interest of the author is in the rebuild- ing of the temple. Jehovah stirred up â€" It is only natural that a Jewish writer should trace the impulse which prompted the proclamation to divine suggestion. Cyrus himself asserts that his policies of kindliness and gen- erosity were inspired by Marduk the god of Babylon. Proclamation â€" Ezra 0. 3-5 contains a more original form of the decree of Cyrus. Jehovah . given me â€" There is no indica- tion in any of the inscriptions of Cy- rus that he was a worshipper of Jehovah. The glorification or Jehovah here mav be due to ^ later working over of the decree from the point of view of .Tewi.sh religion. There is, prize for the winner. The Hurdle Race is for both boys and girls. Each person is given six needles and a spool of thread, and the one who first threads them all wins the contest. Next comes the Standing High Jump. Hang .three doughnuts in a. doorway, about four inches higher than the mouths of the contestants. Tie their hands behind them and see who first bites a doughnut. For a Drinking Race each player is given a half glassful of water and a spoon. The water must be consumed a spoonful al a time, and the one who finishes first is the winner. If any is spilled, that contestant is barred out. The Bun Race is great fun. A clothes-line is stretched across the joom, and from it are hung sugar buns at a height just reaching each player's mouth. The players stand in line with hands behind them, and at a given signal begin to eat the buns. The bobbing of the line makes this very difficult. Last comes the Rainy Day Race, Each contestant is given a shoe-box containing a pair of over-shoes, and tied with string. A closed umbrella is also handled to each. When the start- er counts three the boxes must be untied, the over-sho^s put on, and the umbrellas opened. The contestants then walk across the room as rapidly as possible to a set line, remove the over-shoes, replace them in the boxes, tie the boxes, and close the umbrellas before they walk to their starting place. The one who arrives there first vins. however, no good reason for doubting the historicity of a decree issued by Cyrus giving permission to the Jews to return to their old home: (1) Such decree would be in psrfect accord with the general policy of Cyrus as reflect- ed in his own inscriptions; (2) the im- minence of a conflict with Egypt would make it desirable ^o have near the borders of Egypt a nation on whose fidelity and gratitude he could rely. Whosoever is leftâ€" Withoilt the means of retuniing to Jerusalem. Gold . . . silverâ€" To purchase food and other necessaries during the jour- ney. Goodsâ€" Camp baggage and furniture.

Preparations for the return and the return itself. Judah and Benjaminâ€" The author holds the view, {found also in other Old Testament ' passages, that the southern kingdom I consisted of two tribes (1 Kings 12. 21, j 23) ; other passages assert that Judah t alone constituted the southern king- idom (1 Kings 11. 13, 32, 3(5). Strength- ened â€" The Babyronians and the Jews who remained behin<l gladly assisted those who decided to return. Vessels of the house of Jehovahâ€" Compare 2 Kings 24. 13; 25. 14, 15, and 2 Chron. 30. 7. His godsâ€" Better "god." The chief deity of Nebuchadnezzar was I Mardjk, who had a magnificent temple ! in Babylon. Sheshbazzarâ€" Both he ! and Zeraljbabel are named as gov- nors of Judah (Ezra 5. 14; Hag. 1. 1, j 14; etc.); consequently it has been [thought by manv that the two names I refer to one and the same person. It I is more probable, however, that they I refer to two distinct persons, Shesh- bazzar preceding Zerubbabel as gov- I ernor of Judah.

Kitchen Patriotism Winter is fast approaching, and every advantage should be taken of the fine weather for doing such out- door work that can not conveniently be done when the weftther is cold or snow is on the ground. There are fences to repair, roofs to examine for leaks, and general fixing up of the entire house. The runs, too, need a good cleaning up and spading. \\\ the old hens, not intended to winter over, .should be sent to market while the prices are good. Now is a good time to lay in sup- plies for the winter, especially such as incubators and brooders, and to secure new blood that may be needed in the flock. Orders are more promptly and carefully filled now than later on when there is a general rush. The moulting season is surely put- ting a rusty, unattractive appearance on the fowls. They need a tonic; a few pieces of rusty iron in the drink- ing water will have a good effect. About five por cent old-process oil- mea! added to the mash is good medi- cine at this time. Sunflower-seed, mixed with the grain feed occasion- ally, will add luster to the feathers . Caponize all the surplus young cock- erels during October. It is not uncommon on farms to al- low the poultry to roost outdoors in summer, on trees /or wherever they may find a satisfactory perch, and this is often permitted away into the win- ter monUis. The practise is not a good one, especially after the fall weather starts. If the stock ha^ not already been placed in the houses, it should be done at once.
