In dysentery the discharges from the bowels follow each other with great rapidity, and sometimes become mixed with blood. Never neglect what at fiiret appears to be a slight attack of diarrhoea or dysen- ery will surely set hi. Cure the first symptoms by the use of Dr. Fowler's Extract of Wilcl Strawberry, Mrs. Martin. rarraber, Dogherty Cor- ner, N.13., writes: "I can very strongly recommend Dr. Fowler's Extract of Wild. Strawberry for dysentery and summer corn ,;aiats. My little girl, at the age of twtteyears had the dysentery very bad. We Wad two doctors, but with no result. My mother brought me a bottle of "Dr. Fowler's," and when half the bottle was used the little girl was running around playing with her dolls with great delight. and joy to the family, for we did not think, she would ever get better," There are a number of preparations on the market to -day, claiming to be the same as "Dr. Fowler's Extract of Wild Strawberry," and also called similar natnes, so as to fool the public into think- ing they are getting the genuine.

Shortage of Men in Europe Ma4cing Great Changes. Owing to the war, women in Eng- land and France are taking up many -Ztld callings to make up for the short- age of men, but in the country wee men 'have already done whatever lies nearest to their hand. In the village, the butcher, the bak- er, the eandlesticianaker, may all be women, and there is at least one. small town in Devon in which women form the chief business element. The principal hotel is run by a woman and her daughter, a woman deftly cuts the joints and orders her son about. A bakeress bakes the nicest bread, and her daughter trudges far into the country with two baskets slung ' on her back, a picturesque figure of the female worker. The wine merchant is a woman who worked up a nice lit- tle business, while a chemist's shop is called by a woman, to say nothing of the trades which are • to be found everywhere, sweetstuff shops, fancy shops and the like. France, being a country • where uni- versal service is the rule, is nowadays depending largely nn the work of women, but even in the times of peace there were places where they were the chief citizens. At Froissy, in the Departmeitt-of the Oise, most of the public apttointments are held by wo- men, and will be until their present holders die. There is a postmistress instead of a -+postmaster; the telegraph depart- ment is run by 'a . woman; a station mistress directs •the porters at the local station; a lady barber cuts the hair of the community, and the .town crier also tacks"ess" on to the name of her calling. New Cutlery Cannot Stain. Every device which helps to relieve Women of the great and continual burden of maintaining the home as a going concern should be heartily wel- comed, and, Sir Chiozza Money says, one of the best things that have been invented in this connection is the new stainless steel. Knives made of it have not to be cleaned in the old, dirty way; they merely have to be wiped. Many British firms are now making the stainless` cutlery, and it ought soon to be in universal use. But apparently the trade is riot desir- ousof bringing about this welcome consummation, on the ground that as the new cutlery lasts longer less cut- lery will be required in the future. Could Not Bend Down On Account of Backache. Mr. J. A. hubinieclri, Dauphin, Man., writes: "It is my pleasure to write you in regard to Doan's Kidney Pills which I have been using for some time for kidney trouble, which used to affect my back`..0 that at times I could not bend down, nor could I walk straight. I learn- ed about your pills from your Almanac, and I bless the happy hour I thought of baying this anedicine. One . time a druggist persuaded me to buy • 's Kidney Pills, saying they were just as good, its fact he guaranteed they were.. I yielded to his advice, and what was the result? I had bearing down pains in my back for two days, so I tools the balance of the pills unused to the druggist, and told him to give sic I)oan's Kidney Pills as they would stop the pain in 12 hours at the otti side.

The food supply is a. seriousprob- lem in the European nations involv- ed in.the present war. Frances ICey- zer contributed to the London Chron- icle an interesting communication un- derthe heading, "Eat Less ,Meat.,, Her suggestion may prove of value in countries happily free from war, but none the less disturbed by high prices. The article is an follows: Less meat! How is it possible? is the question that becomes an asser- tion made by the average man and woman. The fact is neither knows anything about the matter. In the middle and lower classes meat has be- come an essential factor in their lives, irrespective of the necessity or the advisability from a health point of view. They do no know the good it may do in some cases, nor the harm. it causes in others, but they eat it in ignorance of any substitute, merely because they consider it sustaining and because they think nothing can replace it. "It goes farther," says one. "It keeps me going longer than anything else," says another. And this is the general belief and the general experience in this country, where so little is known among the people of the relative values of food, of the nutrition derived from the ce- reals, vegetables, fruits, that grow on this and other lands, and that are .mported so freely; of fish, the birds, the wonderful supply in nature of all that man requires to build up a sound body and = mind, without worshiping the fatted calf. Health -Giving 'Vegetables—Half the population of the world lives on rice, and works as hard as the British, who think they must have meat to give weight to arms and brain. Did the ancient Greeks and Romans owe their strength to meat? Neither were meat -eaters, as we understand the term to -day. Yet muscle and brain must have been well fed to have achieved the work of these acknow- ledged athletes and philosophers. Did these men want three meat meals a day? Birds, fish and fruit sustained them,' and sustained them well, if we can believe the story of their deeds. As for the Chinese, the Japanese; the Indians, their powers of endurance are proverbial, and they live almost exclusively on rice. To -day, when it is a matter of im- portance to the nation, it is seen how Little the people of Great Britain know of the health -giving properties of vegetables, eaten in England as an obligate accompaniment to the meal, not considered of sufficient import- ance to take the first place in the menu. We read in scientific articles, deal- ing with the important subject of the requirements of the body, of..; how much fat, sugar, etc., is necessary to make 'blood and bone. This is said in technical language, but if the •re- lative value of each article of food were clearly stated, it would be of greater use to the million. They would learn that there are vegetables chiefly composed of water, such as marrows, that have no nutritive quali- ties, and that there are others, like spinach and globe artichokes, full of iron. These are questions that a sci- entist might deal with to the advant- age of the woman in her home. But thosewho come by their knowledge from experience, more than from study, will agree thatthere is nothing more sustaining , than rice, beans in every variety, lentils, eggs, that re- place the ordinary butcher's meat, if eaten in sufficient quantities, with a green vegetable or salad, cook- ed fruits, milk puddings, cheese, to satisfy a large appetite. eaten the savory potato omelet at a country inn in France .and wondered why it was not known in England? Could anything be simpler than the preparation of this homely, classical dish, extolled by Brillat-Savarin, mag- istrate, artist and culinary expert, in his .delightful'"Physiologie clu Gout"?. Small slices of potato, lightly, brown- ed in sufficient butter to make the omelet when the beaten eggs are poured upon them, surrounding then like a golden stream, mingling their. softly clinging natures with the more, resistent potato, embodied and folded in the warmth of the leveling frying- pan. And this is only one of the many ways of preparing eggs in a condensed form : that appeals to the traveler, and would be welcome at home if the cook would use her brain for her own and her employer's good. I am told that servants, as a class, do not understand economy, and are not interested in a scheme that touches their mistresses' pockets. Meat is their god. They even fail to imagine that there might come a time when there would be no meat obtainable. Useful Hints. Don't forget to close the refrigerat- or door each time you use the box the ice will last much longer. Melted butter poured on the top of canned tomatoes before they are seal- ed will keep them sweet. Ham soaked in milk over night will be exceedingly sweet and tender for breakfast next morning. The bone should be left in 5. roast; it will help to keep the juice and will add flavor and sweetness. If the aluminum cooking utensils turn black, try boiling tomato pair- ings in them and they will brighten. It is best not to serve the same dish twice a week unless it be a vege- table, as every one likes a variety. "Rainbow jelly" may be made as you do marble cake, by pouring sev- eral different kinds of jelly into the same moll. Of course, each should harden before the next is put in. Children's shoes should be half - soled after being worn three weeks, they will be in better shape and wear much longer than if first worn into holes and then half -soled. An ordinary funnel will make an excellent holder for the ball of string. Hang it • up by its ring and put the ball into the upper part, drawing the string through the funnel. A charming serving tray is made of the printed blue and white towel- ling from Japan, covered with glass and framed in soft grey. Richer trays are made with precious Chin- ese embroideries used in the same way. When you • wash lace curtains, don't rub them. Put into cold water with borax; bring to a boil and boil fifteen or twenty minutes. Rinse through and stiffen in a final water, which has five cents worth of gum arabic in it. Wind a piece of paper around 'a pencil and fill the tube so formed with Persian powder. Stand it in a dish of sand and burn it an hour before bedtime. It drives the mosquitoes away and so insures an untroubled night's sleep. Precipitated chalk is excellent for cleaning tarnished silver. Place a little in a saucer andadd just enough liquid ammonia to moisten it. Rub this lightly over the silver, and the stains will quickly disappear. Then wash in hot suds, dry carefully . and polish with a clean chamois leather. The raw material is the same in MANY USES FOR GUNS. England as it is in France, but how is it prepared?
