Don'ts Far Washing Blankets
New blankets are always a joy.,
There is nothing much softer, prettier

always associates this loveliness with
the :newness and dreads the time the
blankets have to be washed. And dry
cleaning is never as satisfactory for
blankets as washing. To be stere in

It is not feasible to cite all tie
deviations the stock takes goiz,-
through the yard, but it is possible
to give the reader some idea of th,
regular channels of movement.
Stock yards are built on a d:efinitr:
elan of small and large pens to effi-
ciently fill the various requirement:
and eaeh class of stock is allotted s.
certain section of the yard.
On arrival of stock at the yards it.
is immediately unloaded into the un-
loading pens and the pens are locked
by the employes of the stock yard:
company. These pens: are divided in-
to sections so that the different
classes of live stock oan be kepi
separated in eases of mixed carloads.
Usually all the cars of the train -load
are unloaded into these pens before
the distribution of stock to the var-
ious pens for sale or feeding. During
this operation there is a member of
the Humane Society „present, whose
duty it is to see that the live stock
has been properly loaded, cared for
in transit and that it is handled ju-
diciously about the yards, also to
direct the care of dead and crippled
animals. It Is not absolutely neces-
sary for the owners of the stock to
bo present as their interests are look-
ed after by employes of the stock
yards company. Each class pf stock
from here goes to its own section in
the yards. It is not necessary to fol-
low a carload of each class of stock
through, so will confine this report
to a carload of butcher cattle..
Handling Butcher Cattle.
When the cattle leave the unloading
pens they are counted and this must
check with the railroad shipping bill.,
They are then moved and locked in a
pen in the alleys of the commission
dem to whom consiggked, where feed
.end water are availanee. (It may be
stated here .that most cattle are fed
and watered as in order to receive a
good price it is necessary that they
have a good fill to appear at their
nest at time of sale. If not, the buy-
ers take advantage of this and cut
the price, so a number of shippers
.ry to reach the market a day pre-
vious to selling in order that the cat -
le, may have a good fill and quiet
down.) •
The gate is unlgdTted and the stock
released to the commission firm, after
it accepts the count and signs a slip
to that effect; Itis responsible now
for any stealing. or mixing of stock.
Before the market opens the stock is
sorted according to grade. The mar-
ket opens at 9.'a.m. <tnrl closes at
4 p.m., and no trading is done before
or after these •hours under penalty
provided by the rules of the Live
tock Exchange.

j elan is satisfied that he has the high-
.est possible bid he completes the eale,
se it seldom pays to carry the steak
aver until the next day. Each p:+ :t
keeps his own records and a final
settlement is effected later when 111
day's bargaining is over. it is e
credit to the market personnel thet
such a huge business can be carried
on in this manner • without the
scratch of a pen to an agreement and
with very rare disagreement later as
to the prices and terms of sale.
Sorted According to Grade.
The stock is driven to thescales
by employes of the commission nem,
Isorted and weighed into lots, accord-
ing to the grade and price paid. A
weigh ticket is made out and stamped
by employes of the stock yards coixt-
pany showing" the weight, owner,
commission firm making the sale,
purchaser, and agreed price. The
stock is now out of the shippers'
hands and driven and locked into
pens, according to the same grouping
as weiheti,.. Export cattle are kept
se'ea'hte, of course, to comply with
the quarantine regulations,
Cattle that are billed through and
stop off to be fed and watered are
looked after by the stook yards com-
pany. They are unloaded and driven
and locked into pens, fed and water-
ed; and then reloaded to continuo
their. journey.
Calves and sheep are handled much
the same as the other classes of live
stock.' While in the unloading. puns
the calves' are inspected by a repre-
sentative of the 'Markets' Branch for
bobs or suspectedcalves, and the
doubtful ones are ear tagged and re-

" THE MEDICINE CABINET
By Dr. W. J. Scholes
Occasions arise in almost every fa-
mily, particularly where . there are
small children, when having a stock
of a few emergency ' remedies and
supplies in the home would prove ex-
tremely usefu'f. The farther one liv-,
es from doctors and a place where
first aid supplies, may be obtained, the
mote valuable becomes the well-
stocked medicine cabinet!
In an article in a recent issue of
that excellent health magazine, "Hy-
geia,") r. Francis W. Palfrey sug-
gests a list of supplies that he ?consi-
ders desirable. He gives some hints
as to the use of the various articles
suggested in the list, As potent rein-
edies .are capable of doing much harm
if wrongly used, how NOT to use
same of the medicines on the list re-
ceives considerable • emphasis.
For instance, .certain cathartics,
such as castor ,oil, Seidlitz powders
and three -grain cascara tablets are in-
cluded in the list. But it is emphasiz-
ed that these should never be taken
for pain. .This, of course, means pain
occurring in the abdomen when the
cause of such pain is not apparent.
Dr. Palfrey points out that the giving
of cathartics, in appendicitis has of-
ten been the real cause of death. He
suggests that whatever cathartics are
in the medicine cabinet should be la-
beled—"Not to be taken for pain."
Drugs Not Advisable
Milk of magnesia and bicarbonate
of sodum are given a place. These
are .useful in some of the conditions
which commonly go under the name
of dyspepsia. But so-called dyspep-
sia is very often a condition requiring
a diagnosis of its cause and treatment
directed at the removal of the cause.
Indeed, it is pointed out that it is not
advisable to take any drugs, as a rule,
without first 'seeing a doctor in the
hope of having the cause of the trou-
ble removed. This, of course, applies
to all except the most trivial ailments.
While acetyl -salicylic acid, better
known as aspirin; is included, the fact
is mentioned that many persons take
it too frequently and.that its value is
over -rated.
Desirable remedies for external use
are glycerin, a 4 per cent boric acid
solution, boric acid. ointment and tinc-
ture of iodin. Boric acid ointment is
useful for dressing burns and scrapes.
Tincture of iodin is used on small
wounds or cuts so as to lessen the li-
kelihood of infection. • •
While other drugs are mentioned,
their ' usefulness as household reme-
dies is very limited unless, possibly,
one has a very good kowledge of first
aid medicine. Most of them should be
used only on the advice of a physic-
ian.
Other things thanlmcdicines consti-
tute some of the most useful articles
in the medicine cabinet. These arti-
cles are often a necessity for the pro-
per care and comfort of the sick or in-
jured. They are the bed-pan,'a drinke
ing tube, •an enema syringe, sterile
gauze, sterile absorbent cotton, gauze
bandages, cotton wadding and adhes-
ive plaster. An accurate clinical ther-
mometer, and perhaps a, hot water
bottle or an electric pad, could well
be added to the list.
Whatever medicines are kept- in the
1 plainly
house should be correctly and p a il l
t s
marked. It should be an inviolable.
rule never to give or take a dose of
medicine in the dark. The medicine
cabinet should be so placed that it
can be well lighted at night as well
as "in the daytime—and it should al
ways be inaccessible to children,
Dr. Palfrey says that the value of
the medicine cabinet depends upon the
knowledge with which it used. He
thinks it, is well for the heads of fa-
milies' living in the country to study
'the subject of first aid medicine and
surgery.

It is not feasible to cite all tie
deviations the stock takes goiz,-
through the yard, but it is possible
to give the reader some idea of th,
regular channels of movement.
Stock yards are built on a d:efinitr:
elan of small and large pens to effi-
ciently fill the various requirement:
and eaeh class of stock is allotted s.
certain section of the yard.
On arrival of stock at the yards it.
is immediately unloaded into the un-
loading pens and the pens are locked
by the employes of the stock yard:
company. These pens: are divided in-
to sections so that the different
classes of live stock oan be kepi
separated in eases of mixed carloads.
Usually all the cars of the train -load
are unloaded into these pens before
the distribution of stock to the var-
ious pens for sale or feeding. During
this operation there is a member of
the Humane Society „present, whose
duty it is to see that the live stock
has been properly loaded, cared for
in transit and that it is handled ju-
diciously about the yards, also to
direct the care of dead and crippled
animals. It Is not absolutely neces-
sary for the owners of the stock to
bo present as their interests are look-
ed after by employes of the stock
yards company. Each class pf stock
from here goes to its own section in
the yards. It is not necessary to fol-
low a carload of each class of stock
through, so will confine this report
to a carload of butcher cattle..
Handling Butcher Cattle.
When the cattle leave the unloading
pens they are counted and this must
check with the railroad shipping bill.,
They are then moved and locked in a
pen in the alleys of the commission
dem to whom consiggked, where feed
.end water are availanee. (It may be
stated here .that most cattle are fed
and watered as in order to receive a
good price it is necessary that they
have a good fill to appear at their
nest at time of sale. If not, the buy-
ers take advantage of this and cut
the price, so a number of shippers
.ry to reach the market a day pre-
vious to selling in order that the cat -
le, may have a good fill and quiet
down.) •
The gate is unlgdTted and the stock
released to the commission firm, after
it accepts the count and signs a slip
to that effect; Itis responsible now
for any stealing. or mixing of stock.
Before the market opens the stock is
sorted according to grade. The mar-
ket opens at 9.'a.m. <tnrl closes at
4 p.m., and no trading is done before
or after these •hours under penalty
provided by the rules of the Live
tock Exchange.

settlement is effected later when 111
day's bargaining is over. it is e
credit to the market personnel thet
such a huge business can be carried
on in this manner • without the
scratch of a pen to an agreement and
with very rare disagreement later as
to the prices and terms of sale.
Sorted According to Grade.
The stock is driven to thescales
by employes of the commission nem,
Isorted and weighed into lots, accord-
ing to the grade and price paid. A
weigh ticket is made out and stamped
by employes of the stock yards coixt-
pany showing" the weight, owner,
commission firm making the sale,
purchaser, and agreed price. The
stock is now out of the shippers'
hands and driven and locked into
pens, according to the same grouping
as weiheti,.. Export cattle are kept

Cattle that are billed through and

Calves and sheep are handled much
the same as the other classes of live
stock.' While in the unloading. puns

sentative of the 'Markets' Branch for
bobs or suspectedcalves, and the
doubtful ones are ear tagged and re-

" THE MEDICINE CABINET
By Dr. W. J. Scholes
Occasions arise in almost every fa-
mily, particularly where . there are
small children, when having a stock
of a few emergency ' remedies and
supplies in the home would prove ex-
tremely usefu'f. The farther one liv-,
es from doctors and a place where
first aid supplies, may be obtained, the
mote valuable becomes the well-
stocked medicine cabinet!
In an article in a recent issue of
that excellent health magazine, "Hy-
geia,") r. Francis W. Palfrey sug-
gests a list of supplies that he ?consi-
ders desirable. He gives some hints
as to the use of the various articles
suggested in the list, As potent rein-
edies .are capable of doing much harm
if wrongly used, how NOT to use
same of the medicines on the list re-
ceives considerable • emphasis.
For instance, .certain cathartics,
such as castor ,oil, Seidlitz powders
and three -grain cascara tablets are in-
cluded in the list. But it is emphasiz-
ed that these should never be taken
for pain. .This, of course, means pain
occurring in the abdomen when the
cause of such pain is not apparent.
Dr. Palfrey points out that the giving
of cathartics, in appendicitis has of-
ten been the real cause of death. He
suggests that whatever cathartics are
in the medicine cabinet should be la-
beled—"Not to be taken for pain."
Drugs Not Advisable
Milk of magnesia and bicarbonate
of sodum are given a place. These
are .useful in some of the conditions
which commonly go under the name
of dyspepsia. But so-called dyspep-
sia is very often a condition requiring
a diagnosis of its cause and treatment
directed at the removal of the cause.
Indeed, it is pointed out that it is not
advisable to take any drugs, as a rule,
without first 'seeing a doctor in the
hope of having the cause of the trou-
ble removed. This, of course, applies
to all except the most trivial ailments.
While acetyl -salicylic acid, better
known as aspirin; is included, the fact
is mentioned that many persons take
it too frequently and.that its value is
over -rated.
Desirable remedies for external use
are glycerin, a 4 per cent boric acid
solution, boric acid. ointment and tinc-
ture of iodin. Boric acid ointment is
useful for dressing burns and scrapes.
Tincture of iodin is used on small
wounds or cuts so as to lessen the li-
kelihood of infection. • •
While other drugs are mentioned,
their ' usefulness as household reme-
dies is very limited unless, possibly,
one has a very good kowledge of first
aid medicine. Most of them should be
used only on the advice of a physic-
ian.
Other things thanlmcdicines consti-
tute some of the most useful articles
in the medicine cabinet. These arti-
cles are often a necessity for the pro-
per care and comfort of the sick or in-
jured. They are the bed-pan,'a drinke
ing tube, •an enema syringe, sterile
gauze, sterile absorbent cotton, gauze
bandages, cotton wadding and adhes-
ive plaster. An accurate clinical ther-
mometer, and perhaps a, hot water
bottle or an electric pad, could well
be added to the list.
Whatever medicines are kept- in the
1 plainly
house should be correctly and p a il l
t s
marked. It should be an inviolable.
rule never to give or take a dose of
medicine in the dark. The medicine
cabinet should be so placed that it
can be well lighted at night as well
as "in the daytime—and it should al
ways be inaccessible to children,
Dr. Palfrey says that the value of
the medicine cabinet depends upon the
knowledge with which it used. He
thinks it, is well for the heads of fa-
milies' living in the country to study
'the subject of first aid medicine and
surgery.

Better not take any. Thyroid tab-
lets are capable of doing harm. They
should never be taken. except when
prescribed by a physician. Have you
tried dieting and exercise? Cut down
on all of your food, and especially on
the starches and sugars. If you have
