Telling, of the splendid uphill:
work of the medical zniesionaries in
Formosa in the McKay Memorial
hospital in Japan. giving interest-
ing anecdotes of, bis experiences and
trip to the far-off land and of the
splendor of a Chinese wedding he
attended, Dr. Mae G. Graham, of
Exeter writes from McKay Memorial
hospital, Tatlloku, Formosa.
Dr. Gusltuo Taylor, who was in
London in the early spring anti is.
the dead doctor at the McKay •item-•
oriel Hospital, spoke with splendid
111 and oppor-
tunities
of a work titi
o
offered in this far off land.
Dr, Graham, accepting the chal-
lenge fits the great cause, went as a
missionary doctor from Rodney, and
it is to the following letter that Ile
relates many of his experiences and
work.

at which time we slope to have an-
other doctor from Canada. There

A. Wedding .1"cast
"Last Friday I was asked to a
Chinese wedding. A young doctor,
just graduated, was marrying a
wealthy Chinese merchant's slaugh-
ter,. ea the wedding and feast after
were of great splendor, The feast
was a real Chinese one, about 50
being present, rI went with Mr, Geo
McKay, son of Dr. McKay, the first
missionary to this island, and we
sat with the groom. The bride in
China is very inconspicuous.
"We sat at tables of ten each.
There were ten courses, each course
sot in the middle of the table in a
bowl and we used chopsticks and a
little spoon. I had been previously
coached In the use of chopsticks.
Each guest dipped into the bowl till
he felt he had enough, The refuse is
thrown on tltetfloor, as it is consider-
ed bad form to leave fruit -peeling or
chicken bones, etc., on the floor.
"The first course was a bird nest,
a rare and expensive dish, obtain-
ed from the Malay Peninsula, I had

rend of shell, butt never thought I.
could eat one, however, it was very
good. The second course, was
sharks' fills, also rare and expen-
sive, as only one pound is obtained
from each shark. 'We ate quite a
few pounds that night. It, too,•was
good. The third course was the
pith of young bamboo sprouts ---
splendid; the fourth was a young
chicken in a bowl of soup. The head
of the chicken was left on. It was
so well cooked, one could separate
the )neat with chopsticks. I cleaned
up on that, too, The next course
was a large fish, served head, fins,
tail and all, on a platter. It, too,
was wonderfully cooked and good.
The remaining courses were fruits
and salads.
Canadian "Red Head„
"I am told some "foreigners or
red heads," by which terms we are
known can't stomach this line of
diet, but 1 decided I had as good a
digestive outfit as any Chinese, so
I. didn't miss 0 course. It is said
a foreigner does great honor to a
wedding by attending and partaking
of the feasts; I thought it was I
who was being honored. The de-
ference and respect shown me was'
absolutely wonderful, so I may hope
to have some more Chinese wedding
feasts. The menu does sound rather
horrible, but when prepared, by 0
Chinese cook, said to be the best in
the world, it was horrible in• nature
only. .
"Today we are planting sweet corn
and garden seeds. Rather late for
Aldborough, but quite in order here.
The garden will be ready to use in
January. There are 15 banana trees
in our backyard, the bananas just
ripening, Mrs. Graham and I are
doing five hours a day with a native
minister, plugging language. It is
very difficult—a phonetic language,
Words written in the same way have
a`n entirely 'different meaning, ac-
cording to the tone of pronunciation,
and the Chinese characters are best
written by dipping a hen in innk . and
letting her walk over. a piece of
paper. However, they say in about
•20 years one gets a fair idea of it."

Poultry Breeding Stations
Ono important way in welch the
Poultry Department at the O.A.C. is•
carrying its knowledge in a practi-
cal manner to the farmers of On-
tario is by the establishment of
poultry breeding stations for pur-
poses of culling and general flock
improvement. Last year there were
approximately 50,000 hens on 160
farms which carne under this p1a11,
while this fall over 100,000 binds,.
representing 300 farms have been ,
enrolled. The department has. seven
inspectors constantly on the 4' road
with a view to visiting each flock '
four times a year and culling un—
desirable specimens. Thousands of
blood samples are taken and for-
warded to the laboratories for test-
ing, from which reports are sent
back to the inspectors, who act line
on them. A notable improvement
in poultry standards has been•
achieved in this way.
Eczema or
Salt Rheum:
A Blood Disease
This disease manifests itself in littla
round blisters which eontain an ex-
tremely irritating fluid. These break.
and subsequently a crust is formed, and.
the intense burning, itching and smart-
ing, especially at night or when thee
pert is exposed to any. strong heat, is.
almost unbearable.
The success which
has met with in skin diseases of suelti
severity is duo to its wonderful blood
derailing and purifying properties, ohms
We know of no other reiiedy that love
done, or can do,'so much for these who.
aro almost driven to distraction tvith
