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 Inv*, and subsequently mixed with, ofConsisting wholly of, blood. 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." The genuine "Dr. Fowler's" is menu- • lectured only by the T. Milburn Co., Limited, Toronto, Ont, Price, 35 cents. 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. 1SL BURDOCK .o4 CURED S CURED IfPEPSO. 111) Unless the stomach is kept in good shape your food will not digest properly but will cause a rising and souring of food, a feeling of rawness in the stomach, pains in the stomach or a feeling as if a heavy weight were lying there.

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. -.Michael K.

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.

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."
