FOWLERS EXTRAOTof WILD STRAWBERRY. cholera fnfantum is one of the most common summer complaints of infants, and mandie who could be saved properly looked after on the .first sign of t * trouble. It begins with a profuse diarrhoea, ,eften accompanied by vomiting, a�n •t"he matter ejected from the stomach has a bilious appearance. The child rapidly loses flesh and becomes weak and languid. On the first sign of cholera infantum Dr, 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. 1 told her I had a bottle of "Dr. Fowler's," and hsked her if she wos ld try it. When the bottle was half see the child was well. This cure was . miraculous one, for I thought the child was Vying at the time." �j, a genuine Dr. Fowler's Extract of ►'4s"id� Strawberry is manufactured only ey The T.

During the first part of the war careful watch was kept by the French General Staff over the way every regiment and division acted. In the acid test of battle this division prov- ed its ability to advance under fire, that regiment failed. Gradually the "crack" organizations were known: These picked men are quartered about twenty or thirty miles behind the lines, and they live like athletes training for a prize fight. They have great athletic fields, where they play football and practice field sports. butter, rind of one-half lemon. Mix Theatres and music are provided -for the honey and the bread crumbs and .their amusement. While things are add the milk, seasonings and the yolks quiet at the front they are kept in as perfect physical and mental condition as art and science can devise. Then when the commanders at the front need men for a charge against Merman trenches across the shell - swept open fields, word is sent back for these special troops. The needed number are told off, they are loaded nliito automobiles, carried swiftly to the :front, singing and eager; they make their charge; trench troops move up and occupy the ground they have gained, and the attackers—such as are left of them—go back to their football and training, to get ready to go to the next point in the line that needs them. What the French have done Ger- mans and the British have done like- wise. These "troops of attack" are a development of modern warfare.— World's Work. useitfe @01121' Things Made With.

This will prevent the sparrows from getting in and eat- ing the food that is thrown on the floor for the chickens. It is said that the sparrows bring lice with them, and if so., they have no place in the chicken house. Some fanciers have their runways entirely covered with this kind of wire so that the sparrows cannot get into the runways at all. Crude Musical Sense. "That boy of yours is constantly whistling."

Put into a saucepan over the fire and heat until bhe edges curl; take care to stir all the time. Strain the liquor and chop the oysters fine. Rub together one tablespoonful of butter and one rounded tablespoonfulof flour for every pint of chopped oysters. Add the oysters and liquor and cook until thick. Add bhe yolk of one egg beat- en well. After taking from the fire, stir in one teaspoonful salt, one of minced parsley and the juice of one- half lemon, Let all stand until cold. Shape into cutlets, dip into egg, then into breadcrumbs and fry into hot fat. Deviled Oysters.—Wipe the oysters dry and lay in a flat dish; cover with a mixture of melted butter, cayenne pepper and lemon juice. Let them lie in this for ten minutes, turning frequently. Take out, roll in cracker crumbs, then in beaten egg, then in cracker crumbs again, and fry in hot lard and butter, half and half, Creamed Oysters.—Parboil one pint of prepared oysters, that is oysters freed from bits of shell and rinsed if gritty. Drain and use the liquor with enough cream to make one and one- half cups in making a thick, white sauce. Season with salt, pepper, mace or nutmeg, add the oysters, us- ing only the soft parts if large and serve them in fancy shells. Sprinkle fine minced green pepper over the top and serve hob. Serve each shell on a fancy dolly laid on medium-sized potatoes. Household Hints. A piece of alum kept in the silver drawer will prevent the silver from tarnishing. To fasten loose handles in chests of drawers apply some powdered alum warmed in an iron spoon. A tablespoonful of turpentine boil- ed with clothes will greatly help to whiten and disinfect them. Put a few drops of ammonia on a rag bo rub finger marks from your looging-glasses or windows. The worn and greasy collars and cuffs of a coat can be cleaned with benzine and an old clean brush. Keep tin vessels free from rust by placing them near the fire after they have been washed and dryed. To soften water in which flannels are to be washed allow two table- spoonfuls of glycerine to a tub of water. If silk handkerchiefs and ribbons are washed in salt and ironed wet the best results will be obtained. To remove a rusty screw first ap- ply a very hot iron to the head for a short time, then use the screwdriver, leave it near the ant hills, They soon disappear. For cleaning painted and varnished floors, bathtubs and marble wash stands it is unsurpassed. For tubs and marble, apply with a woolen cloth, then wash with soap and water. For woodwork and walls use clean cloths, changing as soon as they get soiled.

The Queen of Rumania is a daugh- ter of the late Duke of Edinburgh, fa- vorite niece of King Edward, and a first cousin to King George, and it is only natural that her sympathies are with the English. As a child, Queen Marie was the pet of Queen Victoria, who had her portrait painted by Mil- lais when she was about five or six. Queen Marie introduced a distinct- ly English tone into court circles when she arrived in Bucharest as Crown Princess, and so strong has been her influence in the Rumanian capital that English is now practical- ly the language of the aristocracy. It has become almost a proverb in Bucharest that it is only the "women who wear kerchiefs"—that is, the laboring classes—who cannot speak English. There is a story told of Princess Ileana, the third and seven-year-old daughter of Queen Marie and King Ferdinand, which illustrates the feel- ing of the Rumanian Royal Family. When teased by a foreign diplomat about her nationality, the little girl replied with dignity: "I am a little Rumanian, a little German, but most- ly English." Queen Marie, by the way, has a queer hobby. It is the collection of scent bottles, and she now has some 8,000. I hear, too, that she is head of the .Society of Goddesses of Ru- mania, not because of her beauty, which • is remarkable, but because she has promised to play fairy godmother to at least one poor child. The so- ciety, I understand, has done much good work in this fanciful way.

Put Into Force in England by King Edgar. The first prohibitive measure in Britain was that of the Saxon King Edgar, who nearly a thousand years ago, on the advice of Dunstan, put down many alehouses, only allowing one to exist in any village or small town, and at the same time limiting the draughts of the drinkers. The For a good comfort lining when common drinking cup of that r day malting a comfort for baby's cradle I held about two quarts, and Edgar had eight pegs placed at stated d use soft, fleecy padding, the kind that is- tances in each cup, heavy penalties being imposed on those who drank from one peg to another at each time. Neither the working nor the result of the Act encouraged Edgar's success- ors to further action, and the next prohibitive legislation on the sale of liquor is due to Henry VII., who, by ple. think that such a banana is mere- ly over -ripe. As a matter of fact, that particular fruit has caught a bad cold. Any sudden change of heat, a rush of cold air, or a draught, makes the fruit spotted, and it quickly be- comes sodden and uneatable.

The baker stammered that he suf- fered from earache. Unimpressed by this explanation the policeman drag- ged him to gaol, where he was kept for two days as a punishment. Some time afterwards the same policeman again observed the same baker "de- monstrating" when the band passed. This time the baker stood absolutely motionless and silent. "What about that earache?" snarled the policeman, and while the baker was expostulat- ing that he had done "absolutely nothing," he was once more hauled off and forthwith sentenced to six weeks' imprisonment.
