CLINTON NEW, ERA The chief symptoms of cholera are vomiting, and purging occurs either simultaneously or alternately, and are . usually sudden and vary violent, the matter ejected by the stomacand has a bilious appearance and a nasty bitter taste. On the first symptom appearing Dr.- Fowler's Extract of Wild Strawberry. should be taken, and the trouble cured. Mrs. E. Slade,376 Logan Ave., Toronto, Ont., writes: "When I first arrived in Canada, nearly four 3earS ago, my entire family was stricken with cholera, from whichthe youngest child died. Soon after a friend recommended Dr. Fowler's Extract of Wild Strawberry, and acting on this advice I administered it to all who were suffering, with the most gratifying results: Since that first at- tack my children have been subject to stomach troubles, hut on the first symptoms I resort to "Dr Fowler's," and it always brings ,relief. I have immense faith in this medicine, and always keep a bottle on hand. Also I never fail to recommend it to anyone who is similarly troubled." When you ask for "Dr. Towlcr's" see that youget it. It has been on the market for the past 70 years. There is nothing "just as good." Manufactured by The '1'. Milburn Co., Limited, Toronto, Ont. Price, 35 cents. WAR SEARCHLIGHTS. New -Ones They Are Using on the Bat- tlefields of Europe. New searchlights that form exceed- ingly difficult targets for an euemy's shots are now used in the European war, tiering been perfected jolt before it commenced Ordinary searchlights are, of course, good marks for an en- emy, though not so good as might be expected. Their use on a battle line has many restrictions because of the aim they afford. The new tights are Assigned to have all the power of the biggest search- lights hi the service but to offer a tar- get no larger than a baseball. The re- flectors of these lights are three feet In diameter, but all the light rays are so accurately reflected that they can be sent through a three inch orifice. Thus the light can ;ie armored against at- tack by small arm Ore or quick firing machine guns, leaving open only a three inch aperture. As a further protection against shots the reflector glass is composed of many small sections, bound together by wire netting. which will hold the parts to- gether even after being hit. -Saturday Evening Post. New Army Chief. General Hugh Lenox Scott, sue. ceeding General Wotherspoon as chief of staff of the army, the latter having reached the age limit after forty-one years of service, was the first officer honored with a promotion by Presi- dent Wilson after he became presi- dent. Following a brilliant tour of duty on the Mexican frontier as the cavalry commander at El Paso, he was ordered to Washington as General Wotherspoon's successor when the lat- ter ..wits named to succeed General Wood as head of the general staff.

THE FOOD CALENDAR. Proportions In Which Various Con• stituents Should Be Used. The increase in the price of meat during the last few years, not to men- tion the last few weeks, has set thou- sands of housewives seeking, informa- tion as to the relative value of meat as a foodstuff compared with other available commodities. Albumen or nitrogen is to be found in meat, beans and other vegetables. It can he obtained from meat more easily than from vegetables. This fon of nutrition is in greater demand. by the growing child or youth than the developed adult. An allowance of two or three ounces of red meat a day, according to the amount of physical exercise, is all that an adult should eat. With this he Obonld have from one to one and a half ounces of fats and five and a hau W X, and a half ounces of mixes Make the Liver Do its Duty Nine times in ten when the liver is right the stomach and bowels ate tight.

We are'getting pumps to work, . but it is a difficult business. The Germans have a bomb - thrower called a "Winysfelminer," which throws a bomb about a couple of hundred yards. Their bombs ex- plode on striking the ground, and consequently any that do not actually fall in the trench explode harmlessly. We, or rather an officer in the corps, have rigged up an iron drain pipe as a gun, which throws hand bombs to that distance. These bombs are fitted with time fuses, and most of them explode in the air about 12 feet above the ground. Consequently they are more likely to do damage to the occu- pants of the trench, as these weapons are not very accurate at the best of times, and it is impossible to make sure of getting within five yards of the object aimed at. the scarf is taken from his, eyes and tr another scout takes his turn, and so on until all have made the attempt.

British and German methods of employing prlscopes and other meth- ods of trench warfare are, described by an officer of the Royal Engineers, who, writing to his wife, says: "In the lines the Germans have a very large periscope. As their trenches are only 100 or 150 yards from ours we can see, by looking through field glasses, the face of the German who is using it reflected in the top glass. Yesterday we could distinctly see the face of the observer. He was an offi- eer, clean-shaven, and with a red cap. Unfortunately, his shoulders were not "in the picture," and we couldn't tell his regiment. But eve could see him exchanging jokes with someone over his shoulder and laughing and smil- ing. We have orders not to fire at it, and perhaps the Germans are won- dering why we are unable to hit so Wei() a mark at co short a ranee. It St lish Evenin Wra s.

A British officer gives the following account of his impressions under firer "There is a good deal of rot talked I of heroism at present. If it is all true , there are many millions of heroes in Europe just now, and I leave that to you. I've found It harder to go straight in life than go under fire. I don't think men find it hard to go un- der fire. First of all, there is a mass suggestion and the tradition of your people to give you a bias to bravery. Then when you are in the thick of it you forget psychology after awhile and get interested in the explosions. "When thoroughly warmed up you care nothing about your own skin - you forget you've got a skin -but you are very hot about damaging the hides of the ruffians who are the cause of that fiendish noise. .You want to hurt them badly and make them feel infernally sorry.
