He looked in the direction of Shale Castle , expect- ing to see the lights of the doctor's motor , which he considered very much overdue . Gren- nan would be in a hurry to get back , the de parture of the Swift being imminent . Nothing was to be seen in that direction . He turned round and looked towards the es- planade - deserted and silent as the grave . Ther he once more surveyed the long facade of the hotel . He took the cigar from his mouth , and held it , smoking , in his hand . which had attracted his attention when he first looked up at the hotel , was again wide If , as he surmised .

Grennan was about to turn towards the beach , but Charteris stood still . The window which had attracted his attention before had now gone through another phase . It was shut and the blind down , a faint light appearing at the side Having satisfied himself on this point he turned to join Grennan . The latter had just noticed that the centre gate of the pier was open . " Hullo ! " he said . " Walters has forgotten to lock the gate . We had better go to the Swift that way now . It will save our walking on the soft sand . " TIMES . MAY 12 , 1917 . FOOD , AND HOW TO SAVE IT . By E. I. SPRIGGS , M.D. , F.R.C.P .. ( Written at the request of the Food Controller ) XII . CHILDREN'S MEALS . any The feeding of babies does not offer special difficulty in war time , so long as milk can be had . Perhaps the danger of unwise feeding is as great as that of lack of food . The only right food for an infant is its natural food . Any mother who can feed her baby and does not , is using the food of others , and is not doing the best for her child . It is remark- able how seldom babies which are fed by their mothers are brought to doctors or hos- pitals . The reason is that , compared with other children , they seldom get ill . Cow's milk , even when diluted and modified accord- ing to the age of the baby , is inferior to human milk ; but it is the only other suitabie food . Hence the importance of keeping up the milk supply for the sake of infants and young children . The food which small children eat is less- than the Controller's allowance . It is when the child grows older and is running about that the quantity it needs is important from the rationing point of view . The main foods of children over five . years old are milk , bread , porridge ( of oatmeal . barley flour ( r ground maize and oatmeal mixed ) , oatcake , puddings , eggs , butter or margarine , dripping , meat , bacon fat , fish , fresh vegetables and fruit The most likely foodstuff to be short is the fat , supplied in milk , butter , margarine , dripping , suet puddings and bacon ; children should get a fair amount of some of these daily . Margarine should be given with bread in preference to syrup or jam . Bacon ' should be fried with bread to take up the fat , or a good deal of it will be left in the frying pan or the dish . A little fruit , fruit juice or well - cooked fresh vegetables must be provided . Three meals a day are enough for healthy children , with a slice of bread and butter and some milk at bedtime . Meat or fish should be given at the mid - day dinner only . Cheese or dishes of eggs , beans or nuts , may replace meat sometimes . Older children , living the more strenuous school life , may have fish , egg or bacon at breakfast also , but can do quite well without it if porridge , or oatcake , and milk is taken . Children ought always to have a good breakfast . Breakfast and dinner should be their chief meals . The third meal , tea , should not be eaten until four hours after dinner time , and should not include any meat or protein feods ; sleep is better if this meal , however plentiful , is quite plain . A conveni- ent division of the bread allowance is to give some at breakfast , but only after porridge or oatcake has been eaten , little at dinner , or none if there is a nourishing pudding and ro soup , and most at tea . Sugar need not form part of every meal . Except for infants , it is not an absolutely necessary food , because we can and do make sugar in our bodies from the starch we eat . Care must be taken to see that children eat slowly , chewing all food , whether soft or hard . Any decayed , loose or tender teeth must be put right . Every meal should end with a crust , oatcake or a biscuit to cleanse the teeth and prevent decay . Children should be taught to drink at the end of their meal , after all the solid food is eaten , and if they are thirsty , between meals . Before the age of five or six years no tea or coffee should be given . After that milk and water may be just flavoured at breakfast and tea . At dinner water only should be drunk , or water flavoured with fruit juices . Nothing whatever should be eaten between meals . Both at home and at school , the fare must be varied both as regards the food and the way it is cooked , so that the child cannot tel what is likely to be given on any one day . This uncertainty helps appetite , and good diges tion waits on appetite . It is easy to forget in what a great number of ways plain foods not necessarily mean expense . may be served . Variety needs care , but does " Asleep on the Bed of Honour . " Pte . WALTER MORGAN . Herefordshire . Regt . , died of wounds received in Egypt on April 19th . His parents are Mr. and Mrs. C.

John Jones , Black Yatt , gamekeeper ; John Jewell , Mount Pleasant , New Radnor , game keeper ; James Powell , Rhos , Llandegley , labourer ; and Morris Evans , The Lawn , Llan fihangel Nantmellan ; were charged with con suming intoxicating liquor during prohibited hours , to wit , at 5.35 p.m. Mr. G.

Hitchman stated that on the 21st of April last , at 5.35 p.m. , he visited the Fore . t Inn and found the front door locked - Hear ing men's voices inside witness went round to the back of the house , and as he was going down the steps to the back kitchen he heard Mrs. Pritchard say " Here he is . " She rushed out of the back kitchen into the front part of the house , and , witness entering saw all the defendants there in the back kitchen . A soon as he ( wintess ) entered Pritchard said . " Where's your warrant ? This is private property . " Witness replied , " This does not look very well , Mr. Pritchard . " who replied , " Your place is , through the , front . " Witness replied that the front door was locked . The men were all standing up except Powell , who , on a chair . Witness saw on rite table a pinti glass full of beer and there was anothe was sat glass pint empty close by . Witness asked Mr. Pritchard whose pint of beer this was ; he hesi- tated , and then went and picked up , the full pint of beer and holding it up said . " That mouldy beer from the bottom of the barrel .. Witness said it did not look very mouldy ; it was quite clear . The defendant Jewell was leaning across the table and when he moved witness saw that behind a large tin were two glass pints , one empty and the other three- parts full of beer . Pritchard also said that this was mouldy beer and afterwards said it would serve witness right if he had good hiding . Witness asked who was going to do it , and Pritchard replied " There's plenty here to do it , " and added that the witness was worse than a thief hunting about . Wit ness warned Pritchard , and the men started to go away . Pritchard replied , " Don't go away : don't be frightened by a like him should think these men had been there some time , as the two keepers appeared to have had quite enough to drink . He The defendants Pritchard , Morris Evans , and James Powell , gave evidence for the defence . which was to the effect that at 1.30 on the day in question two cyclists called for a pint of beer each , that they complained of the beer and did not drink it , leaving it on the table . " They alleged that this was the beer seen by witness . They denied the use of bad language . The Bench dismissed the case owing to the conflicting evidence , but said the police were quite right in bringing the case forward . NEW RADNOR RURAL COUNCIL . Mr. J. W.

" What is it sir ? " Walters asked . " Something about to happen , I think , " Charteris responded softly . " My impression is that motor is coming back . We shall see directly . He could hardly have told by what process of reasoning he came to this conclusion , but the event proved the surmise to be correct . Only a few seconds passed , in that kind of waiting which constitutes one of the most ex- citing experiences of life , before they could hear in the distance the sound of the gear of the motor being changed .

There was something familiar in that shadowed outline . It was absurd , ofi course ; but the thought of Sylvia van was irresistibly borne in upon his mind . The motor whizzed past . > Charteris threw off his heavy coat and gave it to Walters . " Hold this , " he said . " I must see in what direction that car is going . " So saying , he started off at a rapid pace . He wanted to know whether it would turn into the hotel yard or keep to the high road , and proceed to Shale Castle . When the motor reached the turning - point it slackened pace , as if the driver hesitated . At this juncture the lights of another car be- Charteris had no doubt that it came visible . belonged to Dr. Sarsfield . and was bringing Grennan to the pier - head . The chauffeur of the strange car no doubt also saw the oncoming one . He quickened speed and advanced towards it . For one breathless moment a collision , seemed probable , for the road was narrow and the speed of the stranger reckless . However , they passed , missing each other by not more than a foot . " I expect they saw everything there was to be seen , or they will certainly hear of it , " Grennan responded . He was known in the Ser- vice as something of a martinet . " What do you mean by specially ? " " About half an hour ago a biplane , which looked to me of unfamiliar construction , came in this direction . " " What , from the sea ? " " Yes . I saw it clearly enough , and it seemed to be aiming at the coast somewhere in the direction of the Hall . Immediately afterwards that motor came along . " Do you think the two things have some connection ? " It looks like it . " " Well , we shall see . The enemy is up to every move in the game . We shall probably know by to - morrow night whether it is to be war or peace . If war , it will be the biggest thing on record . Grennan put the whistle to his lips , and sounded a call .
