or
CHOLERA MAMMA
By DR. FOWLER'S
EXTRACTol WILD STRAWBERRY.
,Cholera Infantune Is one of the most
conunon summer complaints of infants,
and many die who could be saved if
properly looked after on the first sign of
the trouble.
It begins with a profuse diarrhoea,
very often accompanied by vomiting,
and the matter ejected from the stomach
has a bilious appearance. The child
rapidly loses flesh and becomes weak and
languid.
•efRu the first sign of cholera infantutn
Ie, ,. Fowler's Extract of Wild Straw-
berry should be administered, and thus
check the diarrhoea before it becomes
serious.
" Dr. Fowler's has been on the market
for the past seventy years, so you are
not experimenting with some new and
untried remedy when you use it, but be
sure and get "Dr. Fowler's" when you
ask for it.
Mrs. B. A. Cirwell, Rossway, N.S.,
writes: "I can recommend Dr. Fowler's
• Extract of Wild Strawberry most highly.
A friend of mine had a little daughter
who was ill with cholera infantum, and
was given up by the doctors. The little
one's mother asked me to come in and see
the child, I told her I had a bottle of
"Dr. Fowler's," and asked her if she
would try it, When the bottle was half
ased the child was well. This cure was
t miraculous one, for I thought the child
?vas dying at the time!'

Useful Hints.
An aluminum spoon is excellent to
use in preserving fruit.
Wood ashes mixed with kerosene
will remove rust from iron,
To prepare horseradish quickly put
it through the meat chopper.
String beans are good cooked with
tomatoes and a dash of onion.
A new way to cook squash is to
slice it and cook like eggplant.
To mend matting, simply darn it
with •raffia in colors to match,
Ice -cream, eaten slowly, is a per-
fectly good food in hot weather.
A small square of asbestos kept on
the ironing board will save 'the iron-
ing sheet.
A slice of lemon added to the water
in which clothes are boiled whitens
them beautifully.
A teaspoonful of vinegar put into
home-made candy will prevent it
from being sticky,
To prevent broiled chicken from
being dry,butter it occasionally
while it is broiling.
To bleach a .garment hang it on
the line during nice weather and let
it takes deter and sunshine, but no rain.
Even home-made awnings anti name
snooks, if one cannot have any other
kind, will add greatly to the comfort
of a farm porch..
When bleaching linen or lace, keep
it in the bright sunshine. To keep
dust out of the bowl place a piece of
glass over it:
An excellent omelet is made in the
usual way, with two cupfuls of cold
boiled and chopped cabbage added to
every two eggs.
When milk, soap or other foods boil
over on the stove, cover •the spot
quickly with salt. It will do away
with an unpleasant .odor.
A good sarelanch piste'); is made of
hard-boiled eggs combined w:th finely
chopped sweet peppers and moistened
with mayonnaise.
The small pin feathers that are so
hard to clean from very young chick-
ens can be wiped off with a clamp
cloth in much less time.
It is wrong to put shoes near a
fire to dry. Tho heat is bad for the
loather. Fill damp shoes with paper
and stand them where it is warm.
HELP THE VERDUN REFUGEES.
To the Editor
On Friday July 14th., the Toronto
Branch of the Secours National cele-
brated the French National holiday by
a flag day in aid of the Verdun re-
fugees.
The receipts amounted bo more than
the sum asked for, being $25,000. This
contribution, generous though it is, is
small compared with the needs of our
brave ally. Refugees are coming in
in hundreds from the war zone and
the relief committees have been able
to give them only Army bread. These
suffering people have lost all their
possessions and are in danger of los-
ing life itself. Since the need has
become known several cities and
towns throughout the province, among
them Oshawa, Goderich, and Seaforth
and far away Saskatoon have written
expressing a wish to help these suf-
1 fering people. They propose having
"French days" and,,joining their gifts
!with that of Toronto, in this practical
way expressing their sympathy with
and admiration for France. In order
to facilibate the holding of these
French days, the Executive of the
Secours National offers to send free
of all expense the shields, flags and
decorations used in Toronto for July
14th., also the small flags to sell, to
any town or city applying for them.
Perhaps it is too much to ask but it
has occurred to the writer, that if,
following the precedent of Trafalgar
day a sum could be raised in the pro-
vince equal to that raised in Toronto,
what a magnificent tribute it would
be to France, France struggling,
bleeding, yet triumphant. These are
days of deeds; we realize, as never
before the futility of words; it is empty
to say as we sit at our well filled
tables "be thou fed." Our expres-
sion of sympathy must go further, go
forbh accompanied by a gift which
will help to feed the hungry homeless
wanderers. A gift in some small
measure commensurate with our great
plenty and France's dire necessity.
For information as to flags, etc.,

THE CHINESE POSTMAN.
The Training He Must Go Through
Before He Is Qualified.
To get into the postal service in
China is not an easy matter. In the
first place, an applicant must have
strength and courage, and in order to
gain these he must be prepared to
undergo a very queer method of train-
ing. He must wander through moun-
tains and valleys, forests and coves.
The exact time to be occupied in a
trip of this sort is fixed by the law,
and a very heavy fine is imposed for
any unnecessary delay.
The would-be postman must repeat
these trips at night, and if he listens
to the bad spirit, thereby failing to
appear at the required time at a spe-
cified place, he is sure to lose his
chance of being a postman.
But that is not all, for he is oblige
ed to carry enormous weights for
many miles, and must return with his
burden within a given time, though his
road usually takes him through dis-
tricts thick with bandits.
In training, the postman eats very
little --though he is used to this -and
tries every straining exercise. .Then
comes his real examination, under the
direction of the Government officials;
He is taken into a large room, where,
suspended from a high beam, are very
heavy sacks filled with rocks, He
must give a swinging motion to all
these' sacks, run to and fro between
them, carefully guarding himself
against a blow from the heavy
weights:

Lesson VL. .The Greatest Thing in
The World, 1 Cor. 13. Golden -
Text, -1 Cor. 13. 13.
Chapter 12, ' Verse 31. -This last
clause belongs properly to the new
chapter, which it introduces. The
way takes us to Hire who said, "I am
the way," whose name may be set
in each of the jeweled places where
love is named.
Chapter 13. Verse 1, Tongues -
Clearly languages in the usual sense.
This passage is enough to disprove.
the conception of mere abracadabra
which some scholars have found in
the "tongues" of this epistle. The
meaning is identical with that of the
Pentecost story. The after -thought
and of angels merely heightens the
note of scorn, and need not be pro-
saically interpreted. Else we might
say that the "angels" or "princes' of
of the nations in Daniel might be sup-
posed to speak the languages of their
peoples, as well as the one language
of the heavenly world. Cymbal -
Specially used in the orgiastic wor•
ship of Cybele, characteristic of Asia.
Minor. '
2. Mysteries -There is more than a
half reference to the sham mysteries
the people of "Knowledge" were al-
ways professing to have fathomed, to
the scorn of plain folks who could
not see below the surface of a stone
wall Knowledge, or rather insight
(gnosis, whence came the later name
gnostic), was the special boast of
these clever people, to whom Paul at
tributed "the falsely named know-
ledge" (1 Tim. 6. 20). In its full
development it answers exactly to the
always foolish and often foul stuff
now called theosophy. But Paul's
words would still be true if the "my-
steries" and "insight" were true and
divine; even the deepest theology is
futile without love. "The heart
makes the theologian." Remove
mountains -The phrase. of course,
suggests Matt. 17. 20, but it may have
been proverbial. The question migh1..
be asked how such faith is possible
in a loveless man -a question often
recurring in these verses. Paul does
nob say it is: he is only isolating these
graces for comparison.
3. All my goods -The rich young
ruler was told that for doing this he !
would have treasure in heaven. A
good illustration of the danger of
prosaic literalness in interpretation!
To be burned --The marginal reading,
that I may glory, differing only in a
single letter, is rather better attested.
But the point seems rather to demand
a heightening of the sacrifice than a
scornful belittling of it. Both read-
ings are well illustrated by the fam-
ous story of the philosopher
- CI. who. to be deemed
A good leaped fondly into Etnaflames,
Empedocles."
4. Suffereth long -Or is patient, as
rendered in James 5. 7. Is Kind-
The word is one often used of God,
who "is Love." Puffed up -A favor-
ite word of Paul. Compare 1 Cor. 8.
1, which we might colloquially render,
"Insighb" gives swelled head, it is
love that builds up."
5. Unseemly -Perhaps the leading
thought is of the pitiful exhibition
self -assertiveness often makes. Love
never loses dignity when she stoops
to the lowest service -haw supremely
regal was Jesus washing the feet of
the twelve! The adjective answer-
ing as opposite to the word here is
the usual Greek word for a 'gentle-
man" (as in Acts 17. 12). Provoked
-The corresponding noun is rendered
"sharp contention" in Acts 15. 39. So
at leasb once Paul himself "walked not
in love" -he was human! Takebh
not account -A commercial word.
Love's ledger has no debit side:
6. The Antithesis of this is seen
in Rome. 1. 32.
7. Covereth all things (margin) is
suggested by the great declaration
that love "covers a multitude of sins"
(1 Pet. 4. 8), where, however, the
word used is different. ' 'We mast
rather go back to 1 Cor. 9. 12.: love
puts up with insults and injuries. Be-
lieveth all things -The words might
be misinterpreted of sheer good-na-
tured credulity; hence the turn given
in the paraphrase above.
8. "Aye, and when prophecy her
tale hath finished,
Knowledge hath withered from
the trembling tongue.
Love shall survive, anis love be
undiminished.
Love be imperishable, love be
young."
Paneth -Literally, "falleth," Com-
pare 1 Sam. 3. 19. "The young men
shall utterly fall." (Isa:' 40. 30), but
love will never stumble, Done away
-Liberally, 'made idle," • a favorite
word with Paul. The best comment-
ary is Jer. 31. 34, which tells of the
day when the prophet will have noth-
ing moreto do, since "all the Lord's
people will be prophets." Knowledge
a Time and discovery often make stip-'
erior "insight" look supremely foolish.

12. In a mirror -Ancient mirrors
were of metal, and to identify objects
must -often, have deen like a riddle
(margin). Paul's figure reminds us
of Plato's famous allegory of the cave-
men confined in a cave with their
backs to the entrance, and knowing
the external world only through the
shadows cast an the inner wall. Even
so men try to read the "Riddle of the
Universe," and fail the more egregi-
ously as they show more confidence in
their powers, Shall I know fully -
The Greek verb is a compound, as
against the simple form in I know
[learn, come to know] in part. But
the rendering "know fully" is now dis-
proved; the compound verb deals with
particular kiowledge, the simple with
knowledge in general. Ib was known
-By God.
13: Abideth-It is a great mistake
to suggest that faith and hope are less
than love because they have no place
in heaven. " The real distinction is
that they belong to the creature, while
rove belongs also to the creator. The
reatest-It is perhaps not superfine

Drummond's superb little book The

piece.
CURIOUS WAGERS.
The King and Court Witnessed a
Freak Performance.
In the "good old days" extraordin-
ary wagers were more common than
they are to -day. In 1670, for instance,
Lord Digby staked fifty pounds that
he would walk five miles round New-
market Heath in a certain time, bare-
footed and stark naked, and had the
misfortune of losing by the narrow
margin of half a minute, the King and.
the Court being witnesses of the per-
formance, says London Answers.
In the latter half of the eighteenth
century a. Liverpool scientist bet a
brother scientist that he would read
a newspaper by the light of a farth-
ing dip at a distance of thirty feet.
The wager was cheerfully accepted.
The first scientist merely coated the
inside of a shallow wooden box with
sloping pieces of looking -glass, so as
to form a concave lens, placed it be-
hind his farthing dip,. and easily read
the small print at the distance named.
The winning of the wager was wit-
nessed by a Liverpool dockmaster, who
ultimately applied the idea to light-
house requirements, and evolved the
modern reflected light.
. About two years ago, during a
yachting trip of members of the Mer-
sey Docks and Harbor Board, Mr., A.
W. Willmer, a leading Liverpool cot-
ton -broker, was presented with a pair
of wooden shoes for his birthday, and
I another member of the Board offered
to contribute a sum of money to two
Icharities if Mr. Willmer would go to
the Cotton Exchange wearing them.
For sweet charity's sake, Mr. Willmer
appeared on 'Change wearing the
wooden shoes, and the stakes were
handed over to hien.
Perhaps the limit was reached in a
certain town in Canada, where a man

pick for about eighty yards along the

IT IS A COMMON
CHILD DISEASE
IS INFANTILE PARALYSIS, SAY
PHYSICIANS.
Adults Are Immune Because They
Had It and Did Not •
Know It.
There are probably a few adults
who didn't have infantile paralysis
when young -a very few -Dr. G.
Wilse Robinson and Dr. 11. E. Pearse,
acting surgeon in Kansas City of the
United States Public Health Service,.
say medical science believes. That's
the reason adults "can't have it"-
they had it when babies and nobody
knew it,
Mild Cases Like Colds.
Many imperfectly developed cases
of infantile paralysis occur without
any paralysis. The child will have
la grippe, a fever, its bones will ache
and it will suffer with constipation.
Then after a few days it will recover
and forever be immune from the par-
alysis which, when severe, may de-
form the little body if it does not
kilt
Horror of Paralysis.
"It's the horror of paralysis which
makes persons fear the disease so
much," Doctor Robinson says. "Half
of the cases don't develop paralysis.
In the mild cases there may be some
irritation of the spinal cord or weaken-
ing and soreness of muscles, but the
paralysis doesn'e creep up toward the
base of the brain high enough to stop
respiration.
"The danger is in its distribution
by other members of the family.
There may be one mild case in a
family of twelve, and each of those
twelve may carry the germ of the
disease in their throats and scatter
it broadcast. A severe case may re-
sult in this way from a mild one."
Attack May Be Rapid.
While about half of the cases are
so mild no paralysis develops, the
disease is so severe when at its worst
that no chances of spreading the
germs should be taken. Even • in
cases suffering with paralysis 20 per
cent. recover completely. In others
celluloid splints are used to prevent
deformities and the child is able to
*alk, probably within a year. Some
it leaves unable to move around with-
out braces, and with bodies. crooked.
And. its attack may be so rapid that a
child well the night before may be
found with high fever and even with
paralysis in the morning.
Childhood Disease.
"It's just a common childhood dis-
ease," Doctor Robinson says. "Medi-
cine is no preventive. Just keep the
baby away from insects which bite
and don't let it fondle pet dogs, cats
and other animals too much. Keep
the baby's nose andd throat clean. The
virus enters through the nose and
throat. Keep the teeth clean. A 1
per cent. solution of hydrogen peroxide
is good to use in irrigating the throat,
Give the baby clean food and especial-
ly keep away from public drinking
cups."
"Let nature take its course," Doc-
tot Pearse says, "Keep the baby
clean and cool and away from in-
sects,"
And there's no use worrying. Prat-
tically every adult alive to -day had
the disease in youth, many doctors
who have studied the paralysis be-
lieve. -

HARDSHIPS OF TURKS.
Three to Six Persons Share Loaf o€`
2 1.5 Pounds. - -
A story of the tremendous hardships
now being undergone by the Turkish
people and an estimate of the enorm-
ous losses which have been suffered
by the Turks has been received frons
the Rev. Charles T. Riggs, for the past
sixteen years a missionary at .Cone
stantinople, Turkey. Mr. Riggs, whd
is editor of The Orient, has recently
returned from Turkey after a hazard=
teas journey. -
According to Mr, Riggs, the Turks
estimate' that -their minimum loss in
the Dardanelles campaign was 300,000
and the number of kilned is some-
i times plaeed at 600,000. The Govern-
ment allotment of bread, which is the
prineil5al food of the Turks, Mr. Riggs'
states, is almost on a starvation ba-
sis, from three to six - persons free
quently sharing a loaf of two and one-
fifth pounds. Conditions are steadily
becoming worse, it is stated. -
Says Mr. Riggs in part: `Morning
by morning in Constantinople, around
the different bakeries of the ,city,
gathers a crowd of women and chile
dren, with a sprinkling of old men
whose official papers prove their
I right to secure a daily stipend of
i bread from that particular oven. They
often wait for hours and the supply of
I flour has become so short that when
the bread finally comes each loaf of
two and a fifth pounds must be shared
by from three to six persons. Most
natives of Turkey 'live mainly on -
bread and with other staples from five
to fifteen times their normal price it
is small wonder that the poor are
starving. The people have tried sev-
