Abortion Should Not Be Neglected.
Some cases of abortion are the re-
sult of injury to the dam due to a
nasty fan or bad kick. In such cases
the trouble is not likely to spread to
other members of the herd. With the
majority of abortion cases, however,
the trouble is due to an infectious
disease which is very readily spread
to other members of the herd.
The disease apparently is loCaltzed
almost entirely to the uterus. Here
an inflammation is produced which
may result ip the expulsion of the
foetus, dead or alive, at any period
of gestation. In most cases of infec-
tious abortion, however, the foetus is
expelled dead. A frequent complica-
tion of such a case is the retention
of the foetal membranes by the dam.
If these are not removed after a few
hours, death from blood poisoning is
almost sure to occur.
The bacilli which cause the disease
are present in large numbers in the
fluids foetal membranes arid foetus.
Consequently, every care is necessary
to prevent these from contaminating
anything with which other stock 1s
likely to come in contact, either di-
rectly or indirectly. All should be
gathered up carefully and burned or
else buried deefly 'in quick, 'fine.
Then, the hands arid elotliel'of diose
in attendance should be thoroughly
wash with a disinfectant, and a
strong disinfectant used freely all
around the stall, particularly on the
floor.
The dam should be kept in a stall
by 'herself, as there will be a fluid
discharge from the vulva which may
last for weeks. Disinfectants
should be freely used in the
stalls, and the external . genitals,
thighs, tail and back of udder
should be waahe'd daily with a satis-
fstctory disinfectant solution. For
this purpose a two -per cent. solution
of bowl is strongly recommended.
Strict attention should 'be paid by
the attendant to the thorough dis-
infection of his hands or other parts
of his person or clothes after han-
dling the patient.
The dam should not be bred again
until some weeks after all discharge
from the vulva has stopped.—Prot.

Am having a wonderful time, This
town isn't a speck like your Brussels
except that it too has houses, streets
and people, There tire resemblances
cease,
1 have seen quite a few cities now,
both in the British Isles and in France
but this is by all odds the -finest of
the lot. The streets are so wide and
so clean, the houses so pretty and well
built, the shops are wonderful, the
hotels better than London or Paris,
the trains, the best 1 have seen on
this side the Aflanic and alogether
it is splendid. Just now everything
is decorated—trains, houses, horses,
shops statues, fountains, all have flags
and bunting of red, yellow and black.
'Prices are terrible, half decent pair
of boots cost from 200 to 350 francs,
or roughly from 840 to 855. A pound
of coffee costs SO fcs, ar 816., a suit of
cloths is cheap at 2000 fcs, or 5400,
and so on it goes. I saw some beautiful
looking chocolates to -day So, went in-
to the store for 5 fcs. worth or $1,00,
i got 4 chocolates, so did not repeat
the order. A meal, with enough to
eat, costs from 20 to 60 fcs. depending
on what you have.
The cafes open here at 10 p. 01. and
close at 5 9.111. and there are more
people on the streets at midnight than
at 6 p. ut. l cannot understand why
people wish to change night into day.
I have not had a chat with Albert King

call on hint.
Now this will be• about: all 1 think.
We are more than appreciating a good
rest after fighting hard land steadily
since Aug, 8th, We lost a lot of sten
but our break throughs first at Amiens,
later in front of Arras and then at

"FIRST TO SERVE -LAST TO APPEAL"
The Salvation Army has for 53 years been organized on a military basis—inured to hardship,
sacrifice and service, It is always in action, day and night.
It has maintained Military Huts, Hostels and Rest Rooms, providing food and rest for tens of
thousands of soldiers each day. 1,200 uniformed workers and 45 ambulances have been in service
at the front—in addition to taking, care of the needs of •soldiers' families here at home, assisting
the widows and orphans, and relieving distress arising from the absence of the soldier head of
the 'family.
Notwithstanding all the Government is planning to do, notwithstanding the pensions and the
relief work of other organizations, hundreds of cases of urgent human need are constantly de-
manding the practical help the Salvation Army is trained and equipped to render,
