J. Scholes A dog bite is usually the cause of some anxiety. It often involves the question as to.wh.ether the dog is ra- bid. Now the fact is that, although a great many people are bitten by dogs each year, hydrophobia is, com- paratively rare. Few people, howev- er, wish to take many chances with dog bites. For it is well known that hydrophobia is one of the diseases in which prevention is far more 'effec- tive than cure. The muzzling of all dogs that run at large is the best preventive. Next to that is the efficient treatment of the victims of dog bites. When bitten, the first thing to do is to have a phy- sician treat the wounds. The infec- tious agent • of. rabies- is carried into the wound in the, saliva of the dog. i tural changes in the joints cannot us - The idea is to destroy the infection before it can be absorbed. To accom- plish this, all parts of the wound are flushed out with an antiseptic solu- tion and then thoroughly cauterized,, Take Pasteur Treatment Any suspicion as to .the condition of the dog inflicting the wounds should be an indication for taking the Pasteur treatment, It should certain- ly be taken if the dog is known to be "road," or, if it acts sick or queer. If the dog has been killed, as frequently happens, a laboratory examination of its brain will .usually snow whether or not it was rabid. The Pasteur treatment offers a ra- ther certain •means ' of preventing hy- drophobia, The material used in this treatment is prepared from the ground up -brain or spinal cord of rabbits thathave been inoculated with rabies. It is administered by hypodermic in - "faction. The injections are usually gi- ven daily for three weeks. The effect of the rabies vaccine, (Pasteur treatment), is to produce an immunity to hydrophobia. Three or more weekselapse from the time one is bitten by a rabid animal until symp- tomsof hydrophobia develop. This allows ample time for immunization. It should be remembered that oth- er mammals :than the dog are suscep- tible to rabies, and may communicate the disease to man by their bites. o_Que—0-- Questions stions and Answers Arthritis Deformans Mrs, A. C; R. writes; "My mother has a disease in which her fingers are twisted out of shape and she has quite a lot of pain at times. The doctors call it `arthritis deformans.' She sometin les has pain in her hip joints. She has been treated for quite 'a while but does not seem to get better. IShe has been advised to go on a diet without any meat. What causes ar- thritis .deformans? Isthere any cure !for it? Would she be better if she didn't eat meat?" " RePl. Y. I. The generallyaccepied modern :idea is that arthritis deformans is due to infection. The infection may be lodged in the tonsils, at the roots of teeth, in the bronchial tubes, • in the gall -bladder, in the urinary system, or. in the nasal sinuses. 1 2.

Vaccines prepared directly from -`cultures taken from the patient 'sometimes: help to arrest the disease. Rest, fresh air, passive exer- cise, xer cise,'inassage, and a generous, well- balanced diet are other nscesary fea- tures of the accepted treatment. 3. In regard to the diet, Osler Said: "The diet should be as nourish - Ing as possible. The mistake of cutt- ing down the proteins is often made. Doing without meat_ would be of no benefit,'' Tomatoes. And Milk. Mrs. M. E. McL, asks:"Is it harm- ful for -a child el years old to drink milk and eat tomatoes - at the sane meal? It was told by a -lady who had dinner with us that the acid of the to- matoes would curdle' the "milk` in the stomach." Reply Like most of the food combinations that some people hold under suspic- ion, this is a perfectly harmless one. Even if the mills is curdled, its diges- tibility is not interfered with. In old- er children and in the adult, the 'hy- drochloric acid of the gastric juice normally curdles inilk as a part of the process of digestion. —o— For lVf osquito Bites F. M. asks What can be put on mosquito bites io relieve the itching? Reply _Diluted ammonia water. A strong solution of baking soda, or, spirits of camphor. Vaccination Against Typhoid F. R. writes; "While I was in the brmy I was inoculated against ty- kihoid as all of the soldiers were. Does' that protect nA against typhoid all eny life? If not, how long is the pro- tection supposed to last?" Reply Vaccination against typhoid affords a relative immunity for at least two years, probably three. If you plan to go touring or camping this summer, it would be well to be re -vaccinated. —0� (Note;—Dr. Scholes will answer such health questions in these col- umns as will be of interest to others and permissible in public print, Per- sonal questions will be aiisw.ered on- !ly when accompanied by self-address- ed stamped envelope.

Stearn' power for Aerial Flight Tlie.inroads of the internal corn- bustioe engine upon the field hither- to held by steamhave been so much advertised that it is instructive to fled an expert who Bolds that a mo- vement in the opposite direction has begun. Presiding at the last annual rnectilig at. Cardiff of the Institute of Mining Engineers, Dr, John S, Tial- das, director of the mining research laboratory of Birmingham University, e looked forward to the use of steam power even for airplanes and automo- biles, This he held would become possible in a not very remote future with the use of oil fuel combined with increased steam pressure. Boilers and engines he said, could be reduced in size as the pressure went up, so as to become both smaller and lighter than internal colnbuston' arrangements of equivalent power. This was owing to the fact that heat could be conserved. in_ the steam engine which was lost in internal combustion arrangennents of where ,4t had to be dissipated in order /to prevent. temperatures above those r that steel would stand, Timers Have Changed What's the Hurry?

That the history of the agricultural adversities in the north-western regions of the United States is full of .significance for the farmers of western Canada is shown in an article by Marquis James in a re- cent edition of ' the "New York Times." In 1917, 1918 and 1919, writes Mr.: names, there were in the Dakotas, Montana and Minnesota, thee complete crop failures in sue - cession which had deplorable eco- nomic effects and • produced some- thing like a panic in the three states primarilyconcerned. But,continues he writer,whis misfortune ehad one desirable result in that it pointed out to the farmers themselves and to the country at large the value of mixed farming, as compared to the one crop methods which had obtained up to that time, The depression demons- trated the necessity for a change in farming methods and in adopting a policy of more extensive and erten- give general or diversified farming, Mr, James believes that the North western States solved their problems. For a time, says Mr. James, prior to the large suceessive failures, the wheat growers enjoyed a period of uninterrupted prosperity. They were wheat -growers, but not all of them were farriers, In an official survey by oallinge of the inhabitants of the bench country, one finds in one township, Cobblers, bookkeepers, actresses, a school -teacher, secretaries, dentists, motormen and soda -water disperisere—not pttretting their regular vocations, but farm- ing, or, perhaps, it is better to say growing wheat. They were snaking .money, too, because from 1012' to 1016 there was a phenomenal rain- fall in that western section and the gesiefeMe Statir wheat yields were astonishing. People thought this would last for ever. They even though the rain- fall would, last. The story one hears in so many new countries was res seated and believed that the "break- ing" and cultivation cif the native sod works a permanent increase in the precippitation. Government weath- er records fail to supportthis con- tention. But this and many other things were lost sight of in the hey- day of the boom in the United States' Middle West. Land values soared, Everybody:, had money. Credit was too free. Over expansion followed. Then descended the threecrop ,failures in a row -1917, 1018 and 1919, The previously guests rain- fall dropped off and the 109.day farming methods were not equal to the oceasion. The country was in a desperate "fiat. Bank had to. lend More morloy after each failure to en- able the farmer to" put in anther crop in the hope that the proceed - Inge would covet earlier, ae Well as current loans, The crop of 1,020 ale() failed. Thottsa'nds of settlers left and one bank in every three in Mon, taiia failed„ The same situation existed in modified form over the Dakotas and Minnesota, but the older localities had reserves to fall back on. It is easy to be wise after the event and the moral to the above IS that there has been a turnaver not only in farmingg methods but farmers. The 100 -day wheat farmerin -•-the dentists and soda clerks—have largely given place to agrieulturists of the 365 -day a year variety. Wheat is still the° main money crop, but it s grown scientifically. Land is sum - past -followed and worked before and after Planting. Wheat acreages are everywhere d punishing and eroes are rotated and diversified. Rye, millet, alfalfa and flax have been in- troduced; dairy and beef herds estab- belied; Poultry, bees and vegetable gardens cultivated, Thu, when wheat falls, as it sonietinnes must, there is soniething`else to fall back upon.
