Dysentery manifests itself with varying
degrees of intensity, but M well marked
cases the attack is commonly preceded by
loss of appetite, and some amount of
diarrhoea, which gradually increases in
severity, and is accompanied with griping
pains in the abdomen. The discharges
from the bowels•sticceecl each other with
great frequency, and the matter passed
from the bowels, which at first resemble
those of ordinary diarrhoea, soon change
t erecter, becoming scanty, mucous

Never neglect What at first appears to
be a slight attack of diarrhoea or dysen-
tery may set in. Cure the first symptoms
by the use of Dr. Fowler's Extract of
Wild Strawberry.
4, Mrs. John Peterson, Radville, Sask.,
:writes: "I cannot speak too highly for
..pr, Fowler's Extract of Wild Strawberry.
. J1 nearly lost my little girl, aged three
years. I took her to the doctor, and he
told me her temperature was 104, and
forbid me taking her out to our home,
six miles from town, but I was forced to
go on account of leaving my small baby
home. We managed to get her home,
but the fever did not go any lower,
and we thought we would lose her sure,
as she was so bad with dysentery she
even passed blood. A neighbor came
in and brought Dr. Fowler's Extract of
Wild Strawberry, and told me to give
her a few doses. This we did, and the
next day she took a change for the better,
but it was quite a time before she was
on her feet again. I do believe if it
had not been for `Dr. Fowler's,' my little
one would have died."

WOUNDS AND INFECTION.
Germs Numerous in Long Cultivated
•
Soil.
The professional healer, like the pro
fessional fighter, has found that many
of the things he learnt in South Africa
he has had to unlearn in Flanders.
Wounds seldom proved troublesome in
the Boer War, because the South At
rican veldt was almost virgin ; but
in Belgium and France, where the land
has been cultivated for centuries, the
gentle germ is always le ady to enter
the smallest wound and bring about
tetanus and other diseases. At first
the surgeons were In despair, fearing
that our, much-vauruted antiseptics
were of no avail.
It requires long search and experi-
ment before methods of overcoming
new difficulties could be discovered.
Then, owing to the lavish use of high
explosive shells, wounds are more
complicated and more difficult to keep
clean, while the pointed bullet works
more harm than the blunt one of the
"good old days." Plenty of fresh air
is found to work marvels, so there is
at least one hospital where the
patients live practically in the open.
It has also been found that wounds re-
main clean if water continually flows
over them, so the clever surgeon has
constructed little baths which fit over
the wound, a supply of warm water
impregnated with oxygen continually
flowing through.
OUR STAPLE FOOD SUPPLY.
Does the Modern flour Mill Breed
Cancers ?
That cancer is caused by eating rice
flour and other foods which have been
robbed by millers of some of their
most valuable elements before they
reach our mouths is the belief of Dr.
Horace Packard of Boston University.
Such a demoralized diet, he declares,
encourages the development of the
parasite or fungus growth whose en-
trance into the system leads to can-
cer. is a momentous fact," he says,
"that the flour mills and the rice mills
of the civilized world are busy elimi-
nating every particle of iron, phos-
phorus, sodium, potassium, silica, cal-
cium, chlorine, magnesium and sul-
phur (mineral salts), from our staple
food supply and sending out food
materials rich in heat units but piti-
fully meager in energizing and immu-
nizing material.
"In a single flour mill, approximate-
ly one million. tons of wheat are milled
each year. Of this about 550,000 tons
go to the human family as relined
flour (wheat starch) and 450,000 tons
of the by-products bearing the ener-
giaing immunizing food salts go main-
ly to feed domestic animals."
Sometimes a man avoids a lot of
worry by having a poor memory.

Small vs. Large Flocks.
, It is false economy to have large
flocks, as has been proved time and
again. The most successful poultry-
men are of this opinion. The argu-
ments used by advocates of keeping
large flocks -fifty or more in one pen
-are that it saves expense in build-
ing; it saves labor in feeding and wat-
ering, and it saves time.
Grant that there will be less build-
ing required, and that time and tabor
will be saved, there are still ninny
arguments in favor of small flocks of
not more than twenty-five head in a
pen. Some of these are: There
will be no crowding and fighting on
the roost at night; more exercise will
be taken than when the fowls are com-
pelled to remain indoors; fewer vices,
such as feather -pulling, egg -eating,
and bleeding the male bird's comb,
avill develop; more eggs of better fer-
tility will be secured, and there will be
better general health throughout the
flock. Are not such considerations
worth more than the expense of extra
lumber, extra labor, extra time?
If there is anything wrong with the
hens, or an accident, it will be more
readily noticed in a small flock than
in a large one. In small flocks there
is a better chance to see that all the
fowls get a proper share of the feed.
There are fewer "bullies" to drive
away the more timid hens.
Overcrowded flocks are not the ac-
tive, energetic ones that are needed
bo make profitable egg production.
Besides, there cannot be the proper
fertility on farms where there are
large, common flocks and two or more
males are allowed with the hens at
the same time. Even if these males
do not quarrel, they are always in-
terfering with one another's atten-
tion to the females. This is not only
interfering with fertility, but is in-
jurious to the hens,
But the greatest consideration is
that of health. It is a noteworthy
fact that the bulk of inquiries that
come to us requesting remedies for
roup, cholera, and other ailments come
from farms upon which it is the cus-
tom to have large flocks. At night
these birds are crowded on the roosts
and they become heated. The next
morning they fly from their roosts and
go out to face a temperature many
degrees colder than they experienced
during the night. The result is in-
jured health, with the development of
the diseases mentioned. For success-
ful work, more than twenty-five fowls
should never be allowed in one flock,
and the nearer the number is kept to
fifteen the better will be the returns.

According to the Valuators Tables of the Insurance Comfanies the de-
preciation on EL metal cla,d building is never greater than 114% per annum,
while on a wooden building it is not less than 256%. The total cost of the
metal clad barn is $1,282.75, which at 114% amounts to $16.03 per year. It
would be eighty years beforo the complete cost was expended in repairs.
Now look at th.e wooden clad barn. The Alice is $1,127.00 and the de-
preciation is 2%%, so that the wear and tear would amount to $28.20 per
year. This building will last almost forty years before the complete cost has
boon expended in repairs. it has ally half the lifetime of the metal clad
building, yet the total difference between the two, completely erected, is
only $155.75. It is apparent that the cost of repairs on a wooden building
would offset in a few years the extra initial cost of a metal clad barn, and

AIR RAIDERS CAUTIOUS.
No Longer Take Chances in Raids '
Over England.
The naval correspondent of the
Liverpool Post says the men on Brit- !
ish naval patrol service say that the
! crews of Zeppelins act as if they ;
were stricken into panic.
A trawler was firing up and emit-
ting thick, black smoke, when a Zep-
pelin came along. The trawler never
fired a shot, but the Zeppelin, taking
fright at the heavy smoke from the
funnel, threw out all its bombs, and
then the airship turned east and hur-
ried hack home.
Zeppelins coming from Germany al-
ways fly very low, not more than 300
or 400 feet up until they see some I
patrol; then they rise. They fly low
in order to make out the nature of
the boats they sight for. When an !
airship gets 1,000 feet up, not only 1
does it assume to observers below
the proportions of a cigar, but a
patrol boat looks no bigger to it than
a match.
THE BRITISH MIRACLE.
Raising of the Great Armies in Such
a Short Time.
Paul D. Cravath, attorney, who re-
turned to New York on the Kroon-
land from a six weeks' visit to France
and England, said that during August
official figures showed the Germans
lost 120 aeroplanes, as against sixty
lost by the French.
Mr. Cravath believes Americans
have heard so much of England's
mistakes and shortcomings that they
have lost sight of her great achieve-
ments. "By common consent among
the allies," he added, the creation of
England's volunteer army, with the
mobilization of the industries of the
nation, is regarded as the greatest
achievement --always excepting the
victory of the allies on the Marne,
which still remains the miracle of
the war. England has done in two
years byethe voluntary action of her
people what it has taken Germany and
France two generations to accomplish
with the most drastic measures of
conscription."

that 1 would feel like falling. At night,
when I would go to bed and be lying

feel as though I was smothering. I read
