10 CENT "CASCARETS"
SOUIRES—DAYMAN.
FOR LIVER AND BOWELS A happy event took place at the
home of Mrs. John Dayman, of the 2nd
concession of Tuckersmith, on Wed-
nesday, January 29th, when Ethel May
Dayman was united in marriage to Mr.
reath-LGandy Cathartic, George Squires of Usborne. The cere-
mony took place at five p.m. and was
performed by the bride's pastor, Rev.
Mr. Wilson, under an arch of ever-
greens and roses. The wedding march
was played by Mrs. Joseph Dayman,
Sister of the groom. The bride look-
ed' very pretty in a dress of grey satin
With pearl trimmings, and wearing
the bridal veil caught up with orange
blossoms, and carried a bouquet of
roses. Both bride and groom were un-
attended. After congratulations, a-
bout fifty guests sat down to a sump-
tous repast. The groom's gift to the
bride was a beautiful pearl necklace
and to the pianist a handsome gold
jewel box. The presents were num-
erous and costly. The evening was
pleasantly spent with mouth organ

GIVE PEOPLE A VOICE.
Proposal Made by Canadian Minister
of Justice.
PARIS, Feb. 3.—An international
peoples' house of representatives, to
be established in connection with the
League of Nations, is a striking pro-
posal contained in a memorandum
submitted to the Peace Conference by
Charles J. Doherty, Canadian Minis-
ter of Justice, through the British
League of Nations Commission, of
which he is a member.
Every nation in the world would
be represented on this body, and the
delegates would be representatives of
the peoples themselves. This plan is
to be presented to the Nations dele-
gations in the Peace Conference.
Mr. Doherty's view is that it would
bas vital' mistake to declare at this
time the principle that the interests
of humanity are to be confined only
to sovereign states. He believes that
the present time is opportune to in-
terest the peoples of the world di-
rectly in methods for the prevention
of war, and that the opportunity
ought to be seized.' -
The plans thus far suggested pro-
vide for the constitution of judicial
tribunals and for the exercise of exe-
cutive powers by the Governments,
especially the great powers. Mr.
Doherty declares there would be

One of the questions which the
Council discussed was the gravity of
the relations between Germany and
Poland. The military danger with
which Germany menaces Poland, it
is felt, may threaten France later on:
So far, it is declared, the Germans
have turned a deaf ear to the injunc-
tions of Marshal Posh in regard to
the evacuation of territory claimed
by the Poles. The Germans are hold-
ing an army in readiness to march
into Poland and are concentrating
troops in the east.
The War Council is resolved, ac-
cording to an Exchange Telegraph
Company despatch, to compel Ger-
many to carry out the clauses of the
armistice and in the renewal of the
armistice on February 17 will prob-
ably impose such. conditions that
from the point of view of demobi-
lization and disarmament all the dan-
ger threatening Poland will be re-
moved.
It is declared in well-informed
French quarters that in view of the
German attitude toward the Poles,
the Associated Powers may think it
advisable to consider the question of
the occupation of the port of Danzig
and the railroad from Danzig to
Thorn with allied and Polish forces.
The Supreme War Council contirei
ued its discussion of the terms for a
renewal of the armistice Saturday.
The following official communication -
with respect to the negotiations was
issued Sunday afternoon:
"The Supreme War Council met
Sunday from 3 to 5 o'clock at the
Quai D'Orsay. The discussion of the
terms of the renewal of the armistice
was continued. The following reso-
lution, proposed by President Wil-
son, was approved:
"First.—Under present conditions
many questions not primarily of mili-
tary character, which are arising
daily and which are bound to become
of increasing importance as time
greater assurance of a general de- passes, should be dealt with on be -
termination of the peoples of all half of the Allies by civilian represen-
countries to maintain peaceful rela- tatives of -these Governments exper-
ienced in such questions — finance,
food, blockade control, shipping and
raw materials.
"Second.—To accomplish this,
there shall be constituted at Paris a
Supreme Economic Council to deal
with such matters for the period of
the armistice. The Council shall ab-
sorb or replace all such other existing
inter -allied bodies and their powers,
as it may determine from time to
time. The economic council shall con-
sist of not more than five represen-
tatives of each interested Govern-
ment.
"Third.—There shall be added to
the present_International Permanent
Armistice Commission two civilian re-
presentatives of each Government,
who shall consult with the Allied
high command, but who may report
direct to the Supreme Economic
Council."
The question of feeding Germany
involving a partial raising of the
blockade is said to be solved. An
agreement is said to have been reach-
ed between the Inter -Allied Food
Commission and the newly consti-
tuted Blockade Commission in con-
junction with the Armistice Commis-
sion sitting at Spa, for a supply of
food not only to Germany but to Hol-
land, and in the latter case the French
will not only furnish transport but
'Journalists Organize Unions, escort, and America will furnish the
food. The German attempt to lay
down obstructive conditions for the
use of Danzig as a port of entry for
Polish food has been quickly over-
come at Spa, and the Inter -Allied
Supreme War Council will frame ad-
ditional armistice terms to prevent
any further essays of the same kind.
There has been much alarmist
writings in the French press about
the recrudescence of German mili-
tarism. On this point, Gen. Maurice,
late Director of Military Operations
of the British Army, said on Sunday
that Germany has only two forces
now effective for military operations,
one at Danzig, the other on the Siles-
ian border. All their armies else-
where throughout Germany have
fallen into complete disorganization
and could not be reorganized again
by anybody for years to come.
France naturally feels nervous
concerning her neighbor who attack-
ed her treacherously and whose ill -
will is not likely to be lessened by
her now humiliated, condition, and
this nervousness is at the root of
French chariness in accepting a
League of Natione, as adequate pro-
tection in all circumstances.
tions, if a body, mainly legislative
in function and composed of repre-
sentatives directly elected by the
nations, great and small, were added
to supplement the wink of these
judicial and executive bodies.
In such an assembly the principal
powers would be those of inquiry and
legislation, taking the form of re-
commendations of sovereign states.
The necessity so far insisted upon
of equal representation would dis-
appear, the members assigned to
each country conforming rather to
such considerations as influence the
distribution of seats in any legisla-
tive assembly.

ODESSA, Feb. 3.—It is reported
that Leon Trotsky, the Bolshevist
Minister of War and Marine, has ar-

Bolshevist regiments to invade fur-

for help against the Bolsheviki, ad-
dressed to the Allies, are reaching
Odessa from Kharkov. The Bolshe-
viki are said to have occupied Tcher-

toward Kiev, where there is a panic
reported. The Government has mov-

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.—A cloV-.
srly-organized propaganda, the pur-
pose of which is to estrange the
American people and their Govern-
ment from the peoples and Govern-
ments of the nations with which the
United States is associated in the
war, is in operation in the United
States, according to United States
Senators who discussed the subject
Saturday. Great Britain is the na-
tion which is being principally attack-
ed, and every pro -German agency,
backed by such anti-British elements
as the Sinn Fein, is actively partici-
pating in the agitation, the purpose
of which is to create distrust in this
country, and, if possible, to bring
about a rupture of the relations be-
tween Washington and London.
There is also a somewhat less active
propaganda directed against the
French.
Statements that these propagan-
dists were at work'were made in the
Senate by Senator King of Utah,
Senator Wadsworth of New York,
Senator Overman of North Carolina,
Senator Poindexter of Washington,
Senator McCumber of North Dakota,
Senators Knox and Penrose of Penn-
sylvania, and other Senators of equal
prominence.
Senator King bluntly asserted that
the agitation was of German and
Sinn Fein origin, and should be ex-
posed in the interests of both Amer-
ica and of Britain. Senator Poin-
dexter and Senator Wadsworth plac-
ed the propaganda at the doors of the
enemy, as did other Senators repre-
senting both of the great parties and
all sections of the country.
HOSTILITIES MUST CEASE.
Allies Endeavor to Arrange Russian
Conference.
PARIS, Feb. 10.—No official an-
nouncement has been made since the
receipt of the Bolshevist acceptance
to the invitation to the Princes' Is-
lands conference as to what further
steps have been taken to secure a
more complete understanding of the
conditions under which the confer-
ence will be held. It is understood,
however, that the French Govern-
ment, which originally transmitted
the invitation through its wireless
service, has since been trying to get
an agreement that hostilities will
cease all over Russia and adjacent
countries, including Archangel, be-
fore the conference assembles. Other-
wise, it is said, the Entente Govern-
ments will not consent to colder with
the Soviet representatives.
Decision on this question is expect-
ed. In the meantime, American com-
missioners to the conference are
planning to leave next week.
The Ukrainian Soviet Government
has announced that it is willing to
accept the invitation of the Allies to
the proposed Marmora conference of
Russian factions, according to the
Temps, but it considers the date fix-
ed, February 15, too near at hand.
The anti -Bolshevist Governments
of Russia are apparently firm in de -
dining to participate in the Princes'
Islands conference. Nicholas Tschai-
kovsky, President of the Provisional
Government of Northern Russia, told
the Associated Press that he and his
Government had decided not to go.

JUDGE RAPS ONTARIO,
Absentees Under M. S. A. Lightly
Treated In Quebec.
QUEBEC, Feb. 10.—Absentees un-
der the Military Service Act are still
flocking to the police court at Que-
bec to pay their light fine and escape
any later punishment for their
shrinking from the duty of reporting
for military service.
Saturday again a large number of
them appeared before the Police
Court. After imposing upon all of
them fines runnings from $5 to $10,
Judge Charles Langelier of the Police
Court talked on the criticism that
comes from Ontario because the ab-
sentees are too generously dealt with
in this section of the province.
"I hear," said Judge Langelier,
"that in Ontario there reigns a dis-
satisfaction because the absentees
here are liberated after paying a light
fine. It seems that the sentiment out
there asks that absentees be sent to
the penitentiary. We do not feel
that way. We judge different cases
according to the facts of the case and
also according to the dictates of our
conscience. We are not to be guided
by the conscience of the judges in
Ontario."
"Absentees are classified in three
categories, according to the gravity
of the offence of each, and according
to the particular situation of each
absentee. It must be understood
that not all absentees stand in the
same light. Some of them are more
or less guilty, and consequently each
individual case must be dealt with
differently, according to its own par-
ticular circumstances.
"In Ontario this seems to be
poorly understood. And this is not
the only thing that is not understood
there."
Burn Wilson In Effigy.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 10. — The
militant branch of the suffragettes
had a stormy time of it Sunday on
the eve of the vote in the Senate to
determine whether the question of
submitting the giving of nation-wide
suffrage to women shall be placed
before the state legislators.
President Wilson was burned in
effigy in front of the White House,
after a demonstration by a number
Of women, who charge that the
President is to blame because he has
not swayed the recalcitrant Senators
to his Will and thus assured victory
for the cause. At least 36 and
possibly as many as 47 of the set
fragettee who participated Were
bundled into patrol wagons, and
later, on refusing to give bail, Were

OSTLY everybody who is
keeping poultry wants to
get eggs in winter. Gener-
ally speaking, the number
of eggs gradually goes down from
week to week from September tc
January and then there is a slow but
gradual increase until March, April
and May, which in Ontario are the
best months for egg production.
It is unusual, and in most case:
very unwise, to publish figures in re-
gard to experiments until the ma-
terial has been very thoroughly test-
ed, but in this particular case, con-
sidering the high cost of feeds and
the general scarcity of new laid eggs,
we are giving the figures on a rather
short test of but four weeks' dura-
tion. The results appear to be gen-
erally true in all pens tested and are
in accord with results obtained else-
where.
The increase in egg yield has been
obtained by the use of electric
lights, or prolonging the day. The
facts of the matter appear to be that
a hen's crop is too small a reservoir
to hold sufficient feed for the long
night. A hen, to lay, must have a
surplus of feed over and above that
required for body maintenance.
In these particular trials, the re-
sults of which are given below, the -
lights were turned on at dusk and
were turned off at nine o'clock at
night. The birds get their first feed
in the morning at seven o'clock and
a few dull mornings require lights
for about one hour.
The usual feed of grain given at
about four to five o'clock in,the after-
noon is missed or only a handful or
two of grain is given to twenty-five
birds, simply to keep them moving
a little. The full feed is given at
about eight o'clock.
The following, results have been
secured: -

There are many people keeping
poultry who have no electric, lights.
Fair to good results have been se-
cured elsewhere by using ordinary
barn lanterns. The danger of nre
when using lanterns is materially in-
creased. We have not tested these as
yet but hope to have them under way
soon. Fdr electric lighting we use
three ordinary bulbs for a pen of one
hundred birds, or one light in a
twenty-five bird pen.—Prof. R. W.

Ringworm.
Ringworm is a contagious disease
to which all classes of animals, and
man, are subject.
Calves and young cattle appear to
be more susceptible to the trouble
than other animals, but no age ren-
ders an animal immune. It is purely
a skin disease, and is due to the
presence of a vegetable parasite,
which is readily capable of being con-
eeyed from one animal to another by
direct contact, the hands of the at-
tendant, pails, stable utensils, cloth-
ing, harness, saddles, blankets, the
contact of one animal with the stalls„
etc., of affected animals, etc. In like
manner, curry -combs, brushes, rub-
bing cloths, etc., that are used on
affected animals of any class, if used
on other animals, become a fertile
cause of infection.
Symptoms.—While any part of the
animal may be the seat of the dis-
ease, the skin around the eyes and
of the face, and on the neck and
back, appears to be the favorite seat.
The first symptom shown is usual-
ly an itchiness, which is followed by
a slight form of eruption, which soon
assumes the appearance of little yel-
lowish scales of a circular form, the
mass scales forming a circular space,
hence the term "ringworm." A var-
iable number of these circular
patches may be noticed on different
parts of the body.
Treatment.—It is necessary that
great care be taken to avoid the con-
veyance of the virus from the dis-
eased to healthy animals. Where
practicable, it is well to remove all
non-infected animals to non-infected
premises. The infected premises
should be disinfected by thotemgh-
ly sweeping and dusting, and then,
giving a thorough coat of an insecti-
cide, as a hot 1,0 per cent of one of
the coal tar antiseptics or carbolic
acid, or a coat of hot lime wash
with 5 per cent. carbolic acid.
Local treatment consists in mois-
tening the scales with Warm water
and soap, or sweet oil, removing them
in order to expose the unprotected

urfaceg of the affected areas, An
insecticide, ati tincture of Wirt
should be applied once or twice d
