LONDON, Nov. 21. Despatches from British headquarters in France describe the British advance on the I i -Ancre on Saturday as the winter's ., first battle in the snow., The advance was swift, following' up the victory at Beaumont -Hartel. The stroke was delivered in a blind- ing snowstorm before daybreak. For three days the weather has been freezing, so that puddles were frozen to a depth of three inches and the road surface was ringing hard. Saturday morning the advancing troops found the whole earth blank- eted with snow. The advance made by the British. and Canadian, troops was preceded by a short, fierce bom- bardment. The Canadians especial- ly had numerous brisk hand to hand conflicts in German trenches, which were concealed from the observation. stations by dancing snowflakes, A thaw began about 10 o'clock in the morning and the snow was quick- ly replaced by slush, and the air be- came thick with a raw November fog, which halted operations. The attacks from the south were made before daybreak while a stiff wind sent flurries of snow into .the faces of the British soldiers as they pushed down the slope towards the marshes along the Ancre, It was the first snow of the season, following two days and nights of intense dry cold, which hardened the swamp of Na Man's Land after nearly three months of constant rainfall, thus giv- ing the attaching infantry a firm foothold on the frozen ground. They advanced nearly a quarter of a mile an a three-mile front to the German position south of the villages of t,irandeourt, Petit i1liraumont, and Pys, and occupied the trench with- out great loss south of Grandeourt, where the batteries and machine guns holding the sunken Pozieres road checked the British. Elsewhere the German trench was virtually destroy- ed by the preparatory bombardment, the surviving Germans, including Saxons, formally surrendering through their officers, who met the British as they came over the ruined parapet. Parties of British bombers ad- vanced to the next German line, which is the last on the south side of the Anere, raided the position and returned to the trench previously captured, which by now had been consolidated, Infantry detachments working up the river bank from the western end of Grandeourt got a foot- ing in the ruins and craters and took the lower end of the main street Paralleling the Ancre, of which the Germans hold the remainder. On the north side of the Ancre the advance was made from the eastern end of Beaucourt. Capturing Hol- land Wood, the patrol pushed for- ward to the Puzieux trench, a part of the original German second line and the end of which at the river bank the British now hold.

ROME' Nov. 21.—Rigid economy throughout the world in the .con- sumption of food, in view of the de- ficient crops and the extraordinary requirements of the Etkropean armies, is urged by the International Insti- tute of Agriculture, which `lias' made the most extensive report it has is- sued since the war began. The in- stitute says all nations are confronted With a grave situation. It is esti- mated that at least 2,300,000,000 bushels of wheat will be consumed in. the year ending July 31, 1917, and that at the end of this period the world's surplus supplies of wheat will kave decreased to ,46,000,000 bushels. The report says it is only on account of the fact' that last year's harvest was` abundant, leaving a bal- ance of 350,000,000 bushels, that there is available sufficient wheat for the year ending with next July.

CONVULSION in an infant may be the symptom of any acute illness or of indigestion. It does not usually mean brain disease, but it is alarming. The best thing to do is to give an injection of halt a pint or so of warm soapsuds to induce a movement of the bowels. After this place the baby in. a baby's bath -tub half full of water of a temperature not over 105 Deg. F. Test the water with a thermometer or by dipping the arm over the elbow in the water. Don't do as the writer once saw an otherwise intelligent mother do upon one occa- sion. In order to heat the water the tub was placed -upon CONVULSIONS the stove and when the water seemed to be warm enough the baby was placed in the tub on top of the stove. Of course, the bottom of the tub was about as hot as the top of the stove; the consequence was that the buttocks of the poor baby suffered severely and took some time to heal ofthe resulting burn. Unless the convulsion is checked at once, the doctor should be called in. s * s Many communicable diseases start like common colds; for example, • measles, whooping cough, and to some extent cerebro -spinal meningitis. Colds are contagious or catching; they usually spread through COLDS a whole household.. when one member of the family becomes affected. At the onset of a cold it is best that the sick one be isolated in a separate ream. One cannot tell at the beginning what trouble may be coming on. If the baby's bowels .have not moved for forty-eight hours or longer he should be given an injection of two' or three ounces of warm soapsuds or a suppository of soap or glycerine. Milk of magnesia, a dessert spoonful. may be given at six months. Keep the following things in CONSTIPATION mind if the baby becomes constipated:— (1) Have a regular time for bowel movements, best in the morning. Let nothing interfere with this. (2) Teach the babyto drink boiled water and let him- have plenty of liquids. This should amount to one and one-half or two ounces in the twenty-four hours• (3) Give the baby. orange juice' and prune juice. These are best. given in the morning. Two teaspoonfuls may be given at first and increased•up to onetablespoonful or the .juice of a whole orange as the child gets older. (4) The addition .02 more fat ib the form of cream to the food. (5) As the baby gets older coarse cereals may be given. These, add bulk to the movement. (6) Massage the abdomen beginning at the lower right hand portion, rubbing up; then to the left and then down to the left-hand portion. Worms are rare in infants. The diagnosis cannot be made unless one sees the worms, which in infants,' are of the variety known as thread- worms. ' All sorts 'of syinptems are put down to worms, such as WORMS "picking the `nose," "worm fever," etc. This is all nonstnse. The chief trouble with most infants who are sick is that they are stuffed too much with nurse or food. If worms are seen a doctor should 1)e called in. It is not wide for the mother to fool with the treatment of an infant. The early .serviee• of a.;reliable doctor is always the wisest course to pursue. s All babies should be vaccinated before they are a year old, VAQCINATION because at this age they can be well taken care of. There is no danger from vaccination if the little wound is pro- tected from dirt and ineury. . * There are a great Many babies killed in this country every year by dirty milk.
