A MIRACULOUS CARE
of
CHOLERA INFANTUM
By DR. 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."

"TROOPS OF ATTACK."
Special Divisions Used Only For
Charges on Trenches.
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.—

poultry house, it is better to make
them of the inch mesh netting than
the two-inch kind. 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.

With Oysters.
Oyster Cutlets.—Drain off the
liquor and wash the oysters well. 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. Afew drops in the wa-
ter when washing windows and mir-
rors will give them a beautiful polish,
QUEEN MARIE'S HOBBY.,
She Has a Collection of Some 8,000
Scent Bottles.
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.

FIRST PROHIBITION ACT.
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.

one of the main streets of the city

In order that "Deutschland, Deutsch-

of this "insult."
