NOVEL USES FOR SOLDIERS' MILK

A signaller with tho Salonika forces gives in a recent letter a racy aqcijunt of how tinned milk is used to make the. soldiers' rations more palatable. He says: "In a village seven miles away is a. Greek enterprising enough to keep a shop. He only sells Greek 'lags,' biscuits and chocolate (both very dear), and what wo think most of —Nestle's milk, at Is. 3d. a tin. What a wonderful thing is Nestle's milk! After' bread it is what we think most of. It makes any t.:sh good. AVe eat it from the tin; drink it with hot or cold water; spread it oil bread. It takes the place of sugar and milk with oatmeal or rice; boiled with powdered biscuits it makes fven these prodigies of hatefulness palatable. i>astly, we have found a new use. In this district are quantities of wild which are very good when boiled, but ! too sour, and as sugar is unobtainable, wo ; fall back once more on Nestle's. The only I thing it fails with is bully beef, being j too 6\veet for making onion sauce.
