An Australian urges that the fecundity of the rabbit offers a solution, He would have the Government inclose areas of the country and stock them well with rabbits, “Thousands of rabbits rapidly multiplying would prove very useful during a period of high prices,” he says.

Bootmakers advertise their desire to repair the army man's boote free of cost, and in some instances they engage to keep the footgear of the wives and children at home in repair so long as the war lasts. Wives of soldiers married without official permission and without title to allowances are to receive allowances just the same, according to an- nouncement by the War Office, The allowance will be 26 cents a day for each wife, with four cents a day for each boy under fourteen years of age and each girl under sixteen.
