THE RUSSIAN ARMY.
To the Eeitor: -
News was published last week from
St. Petersburgh to the effect that an
order from the Czar to his army, deal-
ing with the drink evil had just been
issued. Drunkenness is to be ruthless-
ly stamped out Officers are forbidden
to drink in 'Camp, on manoeuvres or
while on any duty with their men, All
classes of drunkenness are to be dealt
with in the severest manner. Command.
ing officers are ordered to discourage as
much as poesible the drinking of alcohol
and Medical Officers are to deliver lec-
tures periodically on the harmful effects
of alcohol.
We look upon Russia as very benight-
ed and much behind Canada in social re-
form but when did any of our governing
bodies take action to teach the people
the harmful effects of alcohol? A.part
from the teaching in the schools no
effort whatever has been made by Dom.
ink's), Provincial or Municipal authorities
to let the people know the facts reveal-
ed by seience. In England, France and
Germany, great efforts are made by
means of bulletins, posters and other
means to warn the peopled the danger
in the use of alcoholic liquors. The re-
sults, as far as we can judge show that
more good is accomplished by teaehing
than by prohibition. Here the teachiug
is left to private enterprise which is
very spasmodic and does not earry the
weight or influence of governmental
authority.
Teaching is very much needed as the
ignorance on the subject is appalling.
If we appealed to the Government to
issue an authoritative warning on the
subject surely they would set.
H. Arnett, M.B., M.O.P.S.
How many good things we have to
be thankful for -the flowers, the fruit,
the harvest, the seasons, day and night,
the sun, moms and stars, the power to
enjoy all the beauties of nature and
art with the eye, all the sweet harmony
of music with the ear, the odor of flow-
ers with the nostrils, the foods that
give us health and strength, tile blessed
sleep that comes without price to the
poorest.
The men of the Cameron clan through- '
out the Empire have been summoned to
arms to form a Higaland regiment. ;

ChildrenCrY I GIVE THE DAIRY
FOR FLETCHER'S
CASTORIA CALF A GOOD START
WHAT 11' WILL COST.
(The Canadian Courier.)
On the cost to Canada of this war the
editor says in Reflections;
A twelve -months' war will cost Can-
ada a great deal of money. It is esti-
mated that the first contingent of 22,500
men willcoat Canada twenty-two million
dollars. Privates will receive one dol-
lar per day, corporals one dollar and ten
;cents, and sergeants one dollar and
twenty-five cents. Officers get higher
rates. To pay these men for one year
will take ten million dollars, or $30,000
a day. To this must be added the cost
;of rifles, guns and other equipment,
food, horses, and transport. So that
the estimates of twenty-two millions
seems to be about right.
A second division, whether it says at
borne or abroad, will cost another
twenty-two millions. And Ta second
contingent is absolutely necessary.
Then there Js the purchase of two sub-
marines, the refitting of the Niobe and -
Rainbow, the increase in coast arma
ment and many oth er incidental ex-
penses.
An appropriation of fifty naillion dols
lars is the very least that can be made,
and .Parliament will no doubt vote that
amount of money this week. Britain
will assist us in raising the money, and
in the meantime the Dominion author-
ities will no doubt issue paper money in
so far as it is safe so to do.
Good Sleep
Good Health
Exhausted Nerves Were Fully Restor-
ed by Dr, Chase's NCITO Food.
When tte aero force expended in
the day's work and in the act of living
is not replenished by restful sleep at
night you have cause to be alarmed,
as physical bankruptcy stares you in
the face,. This letter 4.1reets you to
the most satisfactory cure for sleep-
lessness.
Mr. Dennis Mackin, Maxton, Sask.,
writes: -"I have just finished using
the sixth box ef Dr, Chase's Nerve
Food, and I must say that when I
commenced using it my nerves were
so bad. that I could scarcely get any
sleep. I would lie in bed nearly all
night without sleep, and anyone who
has this trouble knows the misery of
sleepless nights. The Nervb Food
helped me from the start, and has
built up my Itervous system wonder-
fully. I now enjoy good, sound sleep,
and instead of feeling tired in tho
morning 1 ant strong and healthy, and
well fitted for my daily work."

NOTHING TO FEAR BUT FEAR.
(The Toronto Globe.)
Courage and determination among
Canadians fit for active service seem
in contrast to the commercial and finan-
cial timidity that is imposing some un-
necessary penalties of war on all classes.
Thera is ageneral tendency to suspend,
postpone, restrict, reduce, and avoid
the usual activities in finance, trade
and industry. Instead of an eagerness
for the business opportunities which
have been opened by the war there is a
general tendency toward adopting a
waiting policy. .Leading men in trade
and manufacture seem not even willing
to ignore the war as far as possible and
continue as in time of war. Itistead of
pursuing a policy that would minimize
the ineviteble loss and depression there
is a strong impulse toward restrictive
reluctance that hastens and aggravates
every unfavorable result. British, tin
plate manufacturers have set an excel-
ler.t example in providing for the re-
sumption of work long suspended. They
saw the opportunity. 11 811 captains of
industry would be 'prepared to act on
the aggressive where possible and im-
prove opportunities instead of concen-
trating timidly on a general retreat,
closing up at every sign of danger and
neglecting openings for advancement,
the pressure would be materially re-
lieved.
Business is now interdependent and
kelated in so many ways that unual
timidity on the part of a few leading
financiers may cause a general shrink-
age of business and manufacture. If
credits are curtailed men must be ren-
dered idle. They must lessen their
purehases and further reduce the op-
portunities for productive employment,
The increase of prices effected by many
merchants who saw in the tvar their op-
portunity lessened consumption and in
that way lessened the demand for
workmen. This imposed a double bur-
den on the general public. It will be a
deep reproach if while our army makes
an heroit defence or a triumphant ad-
vanee our financial, commersial, and in-
dustrial leaders.make a panicky retreat
that changes to a disastrous rout.
Leaders in the arts of peace should
show their capacity for leadership by
keeping their heads during this emer-
gency, attending to 'their duties, ims
proving their opportilhiiies, and trustingl•
to the recuperative power of the Dom
ion to justify their faith in the future. I
There are several different systems,
designed to suit particular circum-
stances, of manning the calf at birth,
but there should never be any depar-
ture from the rule of feeding the now
ly born calf with the first milk yielded
by the cow, writes a correspondent of
the National Stockman. Mixed milk or
that froin a stale cow will net do as
well. Wity? If an examination is
made of a young calf before it has had
the opportunity of swallowing any-
thing it will be found that the intes-
tines- contain a greenish material, tech-
nically -known as meconium, It con-
sists principally of billary matters and
is the product of liver ;secretion, or, in
ether terins, the refuse material that
has accumulated during foetal or pre-
natal late. •
It is (sr first impottance to have this
ticcumulation removed, and nature
makes ,provision for doing so by im-
parting a peculiar quality to the first
milk of the darn. This Is termed co-
lostrum. Cow keepers understand that
the first milk possesses different quali-
ties from thet subsequently secreted,
Dutch J3cited cattle are a com-
paratively yeeng breed in America
and have not as yet many big rec-
ords to back them as large produc-
ers of milk and butter, although a
4' cow of this breed won the prize for
most butter at at the California
state fah' a year age. They are
hardy, easy to keep and of good
8170. They are very handsome an-
imals, being of black color With a
- band of white around the body back
of the shoulders. The illustration
shows a pure Dutch Belted cow.
oven if' they do not appreeiate the fact
that its special purpose is to act as a
natural purge by which the intestinal
canal of the young animal is ,cleared
out. It caliVt be adeenately replac-
ed by the dose of castor 'oil whieh is
sometimes substituted. If the calf is
allowed to suck Its mother's milk or
If it is fed to It the ineconium is soon
expelled, but if nature's medicine is
withheld and the calf is given other
constipation is the result. This
may in itself eaese death, but what
usually happens is that the irritation
caused by the retained foetal matter
sets tip scours, which, if it does not
cause death, is a terrible check to
growth, from which it takes a long
Bine to recover. Calves that have
"scoured" when, a few days old be-
come puny, weak things, which seldom
pay for rearing. Therefore, to start
the calf right it should either snck the
teat for n few days or have some of
its mother's milk, freshly drawn from
her udder.
Farm Separators.
A number of good reasons exist why
a farmer should own and operate a
cream separator. While addressing a
meeting of Illinois dairymen 0. E.
Lee of the College of Agriculture of
the T.Iniversity of Wisconsin enumernt-
ed the following:
There is little or no loss of skimmilk
which, of' course, has a high feeding
value.
There is less danger of introducing
such contagious diseases as tuberculo-
sis into the herd if the milk is skim-
med at home and ouly the milk pro-
duced npon the farm is fed.
Time is saved by not hauling whole
milk to the factory.
Less products have to be cared for
upon the -farm.
There is a wider market for cream
than for milk.
The Farm Gleaners.
Sheep to be made profitable must
first be fenced in an inclosure.
roomy pasture is preferable, where
there is plenty of range. At such seas
sons as they can be liberated they may
be given the range of the cornfield, the
stubble fields and other parts of the
farm to engage kilts scavenger work
of cleaning up the fence rows, weed
patches, feed lots, etc. The sheep is a
good close cropper in the autumn sea-
son when it can get around to the
waste places that have been producing
a summer's crop of volunteer grass
and weeds.
Dipping Tank For Hogs.
Every farm where hogs are raised
should have as a part of its equipment
a dipping tank. After being filled with
a solution of reliable commercial dis,
Infectant or dip, the hogs should be
passed through the tank at regular in.

Do not fret,
There are other clouds still coming,
You can het.
Should a vagrant ray of sunshine
Shadows cast,
Do not smile and be encouraged -
It won't last.
If you think the rain is over,
Do not smile;
Keep your last umbrella handy
Yet awhile.

They are doing quite the beat that
They know how.

Shown its face.

Shock.
in medical language, "shock" means
the depression of the vita i forces, both
mental end physical. The condition
may result from many causes, and may
vary from a faintness arid pallor that
soon diaappear to a state so desperate
that the sufferer dies of it, aa in the case
of serioua accident, or difficult surgical
operations,
Shock may alao be the result of an
overpowering emotion, like great tors -
or. That kind of shock is often seen in
the survivors of any terrible accident.
Many who have not got so much as a
scratch suffer for a long time from a
state of impaired health; sometimes
their nervous systems are so badly
shattered that they never entirely re-
cover. That is one of the many reasons
why foolish practical jokes are wrong.
It is not funny to dress up like a ghost,
to jump out on timid children from be-
hind doors, to play "jokes" with dead
mice or snakes. And such pleasantries
are dangrrous as well as stupid. Many
an unfor&nate child has been made the
slave of fear all his life by reason of a
shock that some playmate gave him in
his youth.
The extreme type of shock that is
seen after painful accidents or surgical
operations has its merciful side, for it
deadens the sensibilities, and withdraws
the mind from the suffering of the
body. Sometimes there is complete
unconsciousness, and soon if conscious-
ness persists, the patient is quite in-
different' to everything. That enables
those who can help, to move the suffer-
er and to begin proper treatment. After
a time that varies treatment is followed
by reaction, The stupor wears off, the
patient grows restless, his pulse gets
stronger and slower, color comes back
to his face and lips and his eyes begin
to look more natural. That means that
the vital force, which was beaten back
by the shock, is asserning itself again,
The remedies that the physician uses
are those which will restore the blood
to its normal flow and stimulate the
vital functions. For shock associated
with great loss of blood, the best thing
is to inject salt solution. For shock
without hemmorage a stimulant of some
kind is generally given. -Youths' Com-
panion.
