Napoleon’s fame extends beyond
that of a notable military genius; he
was the founder of one of the greatest

Fred James, in the Montreal Herald.
He Is credited with being directly re-
sponsible for the discovery that food

containers. The feeding of his armies
was one of first concern with him.
He know that well fed troops are vital-
ly Important to success. There’s little.
If any. courage or zeal In men with
empty stomachs.
In I SOU Francois Apport, another
Frenchman, evidently inspired by Na-
poleon’s discovery, found that food
put In airtight containers required
to he sterilized.
While Frenchmen have the distinc-
tion of discovering the art of canning,
It was an Lnglishman who Invented
the tin can. The most notable develop-
ntent of the canning industry has. how-
ever, taken place In North America.

Luther shoved buck bright curls. "I’m

masculine etllclency."
“Just like you taking offense when

She did try to plan, hut there was al

baby's washing; beds; clean up the
living room; lunch -the morning
seemed too short, oh. well, no need for
lunch exactly at twelve today. Hen's
vacation took cure of that. He didn’t
need to have a punctual meal these
two weeks. Esther tied her neat apron
hastily as The First started to wall

Twelve o'clock "Lunch ready?”
Hen's booming voice woke the baby.
Little Hen had refused to stuy on
schedule that morning and had started
his nap an hour late.
“You quiet the baby. I’ll be right
down to tlx something," Esther called
from their bedroom.
“What! Nothing ready for lunch?
Why it’s twelve o’clock!" Hen sounded
peeved.
"No hurry today, dear, you know."
Esther called. ‘You don't have to he
anywhere at one.”
"You women !’* Ben exploded again.
'Say listen here. Esther. This after
uoou you and I are going to take an
hour off and I’ll plan your work for
you. since you don’t seem able to do it
yourself.” Hen lost his temper com
pletely and Esther knew that his golf
had been hud. But she grew very re
sentful.
Lunch was a quiet, sullen affair.

sleep—off schedule—Esther Joined her ;

"See how easy It Is. If you Just stop

this scheme and have time to rest be-

Esther’s smile only became sweeter.

concerned voice “I must catch up on

Bennie woke at six. us usual, and
