Sir Robert Borden :tsiced Minister of
Militia to Step Out.
OTTAWA, Nov. 14.--Lieut-Gen-
eral Sir Sam Hughes has resigned as
Minister of Militia and Defence at
the request of the Prime Minister,
His resignation has been accepted, A
brief official communication was is-
sued to this effect Monday night as
follows;
"Itis nnounced that the Prime
Minister has requested and has re-
ceived the resignation of the Minister
of Militia and Defence, The retire-
ment of Sir Sam Hughes is, in part,
the outcome of the establishment of
the Ministry of Overseas Forces and
in part is due to assumption by Sir
Sam of powers which in the judg-
ment of the Prime Minister can be
exercised only by the Government as
a whole. It is anticipated that the
correspondence which brought about
the request for the Minister's resig-
nation will be 'made public immed-
iately. It must first be submitted to
the Governor-General."
A second memorandum gives an
authoritative denial to the rumors
which have been in circulation rela-
tive to the possibility of Sir Robert
Borden's retirement from the Gov-
ernment, It says;
"With reference to the rumor that
Sir Robert Borden intends to give up
the Premiership and retire from, pub-
lic life, the announcement was made
Monday that all web rumors are ab-
solutely destitute of foundation. The
Prime Minister deems it his duty to
remain at his post until after the
close of the war, and he will so re-
main so long as he has the mandate
of the people. So far as he is con-
cerned there
on-cerned,there bas been no thought or
suggestion of accepting any judicial
or other position either here or in
Great Britain, All such remora are
purely imaginative,"
UuafIieial information is to the ef-
fect that the resignation of Sir Sam
Hughes was asked for by Sir Robert
Borden on Friday by letter.
RUSSIANS IN DOBRUDJA.
Retreat of the Teutons May Become
(creat Disaster.
LONDON, Nov, 14.---Mackensen is
still in retreat in Dobrudja and ac-
eording to the semi-ofllcial advices
his forces are badly demoralized,
with one-third of his effectives gone.
The Russians have crossed the Da-
nube into Dobrudja at two points
south of Schernavoda and the Rus-
sian fleet has renewed the bombard-
ment of Constanza according to Pet-
rograd advices,.
The ravages of disease and the
military reverses sustained are de-
clared to have seriously affected the
morale of von Mackensen's army,
while the reinforcements he request-
ed to make good his losses are said
not to have been provided, his retreat
therefore being conducted under dis-
astrous conditions,
In the Transylvanian Alps region

Roumanians in the Alt River sector
have been compelled to yield ground

polung district.
Will March to Sofia.
PARIS, Nov. 14.—The correspon-
dent at Salonica of the Havas Agency

by eformer Premier Venizelos in pre-
senting a flag to the Fourth Regiment
of the Seres division in the presence
of all the Ministers and generals of
the Venizelos Government, as well as
high officers of the Entente allies:
"I am sure the regiment to which
I present this standard as a symbol
of the old and new history of the
Hellenic race will always march to
victory. We must beat once for all
the Buigars, whose ambition it is to
be the Prussians of the Balkans.
"Soldiers of the Seres division, the
eyes of all Greeks are turneto-
ward you. You go to deliver a new
Macedonia, which is sullied iiy the
enemy."
The colonel of the regiment in
reply said: "We shall not stop at
the frontiers of Macedonia, but shall
march to Sofia."
Calling All Civilians.
BERLIN, Nov. 14.—A new meas-
ure is under consideration by the
Government, under which home aux-
iliary services for the army would
be organized throughout Germany,
according to announcements in vari-
ous newspapers. It is proposed that
the new organizations shall include
factory employes and persons who
are now drawing an income without
working: .An extraordinary sitting
of the Reichstagis to be convoked,
say Berlin newspapers, supposedly
to pass a bill calling up all fit civil-
ians for "service in_ the interest of
the Fatherland," - The newspapers
sy jt is not intended to extend the
asge'limit for mflitary service.

EPIDEMIC CEREBRO -SPINAL MENINGITIS.
THIS is an old disease which has been brought into unusu ai l rc ..
inence by the fact that some of the soldiers in concentr t' to
camps have suffered from it. But it has been the experience
in Toronto at least, that more of the civil population have serf red
from the disease than have soldiers. It is a communicable tthat
is "catching"1 disease: It is also known as a "carrier" disease; ti at is,
some persons who do not suffer from the disease carry its germs ie their
noses and throats and give it to well people. Cerebro -spinal meningitis is
also due to the germs of pneumonia and tuberculosis.
EPIDEMIC These forms are practically always fatal. The far.n
CEREBROSPINAL commonly found is due to a germ with the high -
MENINGITIS sounding name of meningo-coccus. It is most suc-
cessfully treated with a serum which is injected into
the spinal canal after removal of some of the spinal fluid. The disease
appears to be quite contagious, probably through the medium of the nose
end throat discharges.
As already remarked, it is not a new disease. It occurred during the
Napoleonic wars, in the Crimean war, and in the 'United States Cavil war,
and at various times in epidemic form in Europe and the United States. It
is not a war disease, but is more noticeable in war times because large
numbers of men are congregated together.
The serum for its treatment requires to be most carefully prep -red. It
is supplied free to the people of this Province on application to the Pro-
vincial Board of Health.

There is a popular idea that dogs become mad in the hot days of
summer, the dog -days. This belief has no foundation; in fact Hydro-
phobia or Rabies, the proper name for this affection of dogs, n.vy 'rrur at
any time of the year, and as a matter of fact the fewest cases are found in
Ontario in the summer time.
A dog affected with rabies suffers a most complete altar^tion of his
habits. If he has been friendly and playful he becomes quiet and -no-ose
and will snap at his best friends. He leaves home and runs the 'en ltry,
gets into fights with other dogs and often infects thnm. A.
MAD DOGS dog manifesting a change of disposition should at once he
cbained up or kept in a safe enclosure under observation. If
he has rabies he will die within ten days. He should not be
killed at once, because the evidence of his affection may be destroyed.
When he dies his head should be packed in ice and sawdust ani expressed
to the Laboratory of the Provincial ;Mead of Health, No. 5 Oneen's Park,
Toronto, where an examination will be :Wade free pf charge and report made
to the sender. If a dog which is proven to be rabid has bitten anyone, the
person bitten should be sent for treatment to No. 5 Queen's Park, Toronto,
where preventive Pasteur treatment is given free of charge. The treatment
requires a period of three weeks, and does not interfere witb the person
going about and enjoying the sights of this -great city. In the las'z yoars
hundreds of cases of persons bitten by dogs have received this a` ,
the best results in every instance.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
Water Works and Sewers. - M. C., Tilsonburg.
Q.—In case a town•coun.cil wishes to establish waterworks and sew,rs,
what is the proper procedure?
A.—The requiremeidts for the establishment of a waterworks or sewer-
age system by a municipality are plainly set out, respectively, in Sections
89 to 93, inclusive, andSections 94 to 98, inclusive, of the Public Health
Act. (Cap. 218 R.S.O.' 1914.) , If you read these portions of the Act care-
fully you will learn the proper procedure.
3.—Rabies. J.C.G., Earlscourt.
Q.—My neighbor's dog has been acting strangely, and a few days ago
'bit one of my children on the leg. Can I have the dog destroyed?
A.—If the dog has 'rabies it will die in ten days or less. You should
ask, your neighbor to: tie the dog up for that period. If the dog seems well
' at the end of ten days you need have no fear that your child will develop
rabies. If the dog 'dies within` ten days have the head (packed in ice in
warm weather) sent at once to the Provincial Board .of -Health Laboratory,
No. 5 Queen's Park, A, report upon , the dog's affection will be sent yoe ,
and you may, if so advised; have the child sent to the Laboratory for fres
