A STORY FROM THI FRONT, MACHINE GUNS EXCHANGED FOR JAM! Here is an interesting sidelight on life at the front, as fold bv a leading War Correspondent: —^ "The English soldier's jam ration is the envy of both, tho Belgian and French troops whoro the linos of tho different armies join. On one occasion, at that point where the French forces are adjacent to the English battalions, it tv-m evident that tho British .were in difficulties, because of the activities of a German machinegun detachment. The French -commander, knowing the English had no maohino guns of their own, offered the use of two French wed pons for ten honrs in Teturn for one oase of jam. The offer was gladly accepted." Our Soldiers are not supplied with' jam because it is a delicous sweet, but because it Ss a WHOLESOME FOOD. Jam should be on every table every day, and the finest jam you can obtain is "K" 'JAM; THE PUREST AND BEST OE ALL. Faraod for its fine fruity flavour!. Ask for "K," and refuse inferior brands.
