Writes Horoatio Bottomley in "Jtftrn Bull":—We were walking back from (lie first, lines, through the communication trenches, and came upon a little group of men cooking their dinner in a dug-out. "How's the war going?" I asked. "Fine," came the reply— "Have a fried potato?" And the puns were roaring away all round us! To another group —just at the end of the trench, I said: "You are looTdng very happy." "Yes, sir," said a merry-faced fellow —"we all backed your horse at Brighton on Saturday." (To the nnitiatcd I may explain that I had taken the rare liberty o£ winning a race that day). You can't eradicate the sporting instinct from the soldier—-and thank God you can't! Here's the funniest illustration of all: "The war's won." I said on another occasion. "Good! What's second and third?" came the ready retort —and even, the general who was with me had to join in the laughter. These, however. are the lighter shades of Tommy's nature. Get him in serious mood, and you find that deep down in his son! is a full sense of the sacred task upon which he is engaged. Talk to him of -his folks at home, and he becomes quiet and reflective. And in those moments we know what is in his heart. Furniture, Floors and LinolMims look like new when rubbed with "TAN-OL." Brings up wood grain and pattern —gives a lasting polish.
