Mrs Herbert Brown, 1231 Wood avonup, has received three denomina-' tions of French money from her husband, who is with an artillery com--pany in France.

A colony of Argentine Mexicans were visited by a practical joker who told them the registration cards worn around the neck of children was a preventative of influenza.

Until told better nearly every little Mexican "ninyo" wore the card of fomc relative of friend. What will the profiteer do for an excuse now that the war is about to cease being his "faithful ally?"
