A representative of the Syndical Committee who parleyed with the commander of the troops there was told to inform his comrades that they must remove mines from the roads, and pile their arms in a designated place.
CRUISER CHASED AWAY The civil war was again brought within view of Gibraltar.

EFFECT OF OILS Another discovery is that bacon owes its characteristic
flavour to bacteria. If the pickled sides of pork are stored in an atmosphere in which the necessary bacteria cannot grow, the true bacon favour does not develop.
It has also been found that cod- livet oll, when administered to pigs as a source of vitamins, is apt to taint the fat. even if early dis- continued, Halibut-liver oil, on the other hand, being a more con- centrated source of Vitamin 9, 13 less likely to produce a noticeable effect, since smaller amounts are
