' The occurrence of Scours in foals is responsible for a considerable part. of the losses among them during the earlier periods of their lives. It often snakes its appearance within a few days after birth, without any appar- ent cause. Among the various causes responsible may be mentioned too rung intervals being allowed between tho sucking periods, as is often the case when the dam is being worked and the foal allowed to suck only during the mornings, noon, and even- ings, and when the -foal is hungry the milk is swallowed rapidly and in excessive quantities. Another fre- quent cause ie the foal sucking the mare after she has been over -exert- ed, or while she la in au overheated condition, and the udder has become tilled with milk in which there may he an excess of the products of tis- sue waste, drained from the system. Artificial feeding is also another carie, as in the case of foals being fed on cow's milk. It may also result from the Indis- criminate use of physic medicines. The milk of the dam Is also ma- terially affected by the nature of the diet, and sudden changes from one kind of food to another cause a var- iation as iation in the milk, which tends to derange the stomach of the foal. There are also other predisposing factors, such as exposure to cold rains and the keeping of the young animal in a damp, unwholesome sta- ble, and especially where the floors are filthy and wet, owing to lack of drainage. In addition to the foregoing, there are also some infectious agents (dis- ease germs) which cause a very fatal form of scours or dysentery in foals. Symptoms.—When the foal is af- fected with scours, the symptoms may be first preceded by a constipat- ed condition, which, however, le soon followed by the passage of liquid matter. The discharges at first ap- pear soft and slimy and have often a peculiar, offensive odor. The tall and hips become soaked and covered with the discharges, which, In se- vere cases, become more frequent and very watery, The foal then rapidly loses condition and becomes very weak, and the bray becomes tender. If not arrested, the condi- tion may prove •fatal in from two to ten days. Treatment and Prevention.—As a means to prevention, the first con- sideration should be the avoidance of the various causes which have been mentioned. The foal should be protected from exposers .o esid rain storms. The stable's'. •.•:d t:,: main- tained in a good, dry, anti�- con- dition, and plenty of dry bedding pro- vided in the stall occupied by .the foal. In cases where the foal is be- ing fe'd on cow's milk, it should be modified to suit by the addition of about one-third water and sufficient sugar to make it sweet to the taste. In cases where the dam is being worked and the foal having access to her only during mornings, noon, and evenings, care should be exercis- ed to prevent it, when hungry and the stomach empty, from sucking the milk too rapidly and in exces- sive quantities. If the dam has been over -exerted and become over -heated, some of the milk should be with- drawn by hand from the udder be- fore allowing the foal to commence sucking. The nature of the treatment em- ployed in affected foals is to come extent governed by the origin of the trouble, so that the cause should be ascertained if possible. With the exception of those cases which have resulted from the impro- per use of physic medicines, it is Us= ually best to begin treatment by giv- ing a teaspoonful of laudanum, com- bined wife two ounces of castor oil as a drench. In addition, a teaspoon- ful of prepared chalk and powdered catechu may be given in a cupful of boiled milk or flour gruel every four or five hours, until the movements of the bowels become more regular. Another comelier' oremedy is a table- spoonful of lime water and a tea- spoonful of laudanum, given in a little boiled milk, repeated every four hours as required. When the foal is in a weakened condition, its strength should be kept up by means of an egg beaten up with several ounces of, the mother's milk, and poured carefully into the mouth, and repeated at intervals of several hours, as may appear neces- sary. The foal should in all eases .be kept warm and comfortable until better. If the foregoing measures are not effective in checking the con- dition within a reasonable time, spe- cial veterinary treatment may be ueceseary—C. D. McGilvray, M.D.V., President Ant. Vet.

They wt'lte% A point which must be -made in ,•ulwedlou both with Ashanti and the a0riherb territories is that these ad- wleisiratimts are independent of the Gold Const .proper, except In so far (18 (hey acknowledge a common gov- rrunr trho resides nt Accra.

They have their own courts, their own pollee, their own methods of administering jostle(' and their 0(011. Internal legislation. Now, this may seem a small uattte'r. but, in all truth, It Is pregnant with Importance for the future of this 1,- nny. The matter In a nutshell Is the Simple fact that the courts of Ashanti and the northern territories will not permit the employment of native or European barristers under any cir- cumstances. They prefer, and quite rightly so, to deal with the native population, be they cbl.'s or laborers, Now the curse of the Gold Coast Is litigation. Whatever may be said about the total population of the col- ony, there are enough lawyers In the three towns. of Sekondl, Cape Coast and Accra to make a good-sized Eng- lish country village. They fairly tum- ble over one another. Yet they are all prosperous, they all have their motors and send their daughters to places like Cheltenham to be educated. How on earth can it be done? Is the natural query. The answer 1e that the gold mine they are tapping is the national chiefs. In this con- nectlon It must be remembered that, with very few exceptions the word "chief," as here employed may mean little more than the headman of a village. Forever are these petty des- pots quarreling overland questions, the delimitations of their boundaries, and so forth. In Ashanti questions of this nature • c'an be pleasantry swiftly and satis- factorily settled within an hour or two, perhaps, at practically no ex- pense to anybody. Not so upon the Gold Coast. The "cocoa standard" has set the pace. All these little people have money, and as soon as they covet their neigh- bors' land they fry to a native lawyer, or a native 'lawyer, even more prob- ably, flies to them, and the intermin- able game of Litigation starts. It may last three months, or it may last three years—the latter if the lawyers think it worth while. Counsel are employed at altogether disproportionate fees over the most pettifogging swatters, and so it goes on until the rival claimants shake hands over having at least one thing in common—they are In bankruptcy. This is no exaggeration. In onease at Addalr, thetime oc- cupied over settling a little dispute was a fortnight, ,and the defending counsel, who lost the case for his cli- ent, received as a fee the turn of $6,- 000. Another, a ruling chief who shall be nameless, since he occupies a very Important position, has the doubtful pleasure of an overdraft of $40,000 at his bank, every penny of which has been frittered away over lawyers. Fearful Engine of.Destruction; A warship that will combine 113 1t - self the surface craft, the airship and the submarine is "no impossible dream of the future," says Sir Fortesque Flannery, president of the British So- ciety of Consulting Marine Engineers. The- tendency will naturally be to scout the possibility of a craft com- bining all these qualities, but Sir For- tesque 1s a practical man and his opin- ion is supported by Sir John Fisher, Who, when. first sea gird of the British admiralty, predicted that such a craft would come, in no very distant time and that the nations might then scrap their navies as junk. The experiences, of the recent war show how difficult It is for surface ships to fight airships or submarine, and a craft combining the qualities of the two that could seek refuge in either air or water would drive sur- face ships from the sea. • preparing for Gardening.

UNDERWORO TALE FROM REAL. (LIFE Prison dome closed recently upon Mattie Howard,• the most remarkable woman of -tine underworld in the his- tory of Kaflkas City.' )Directly or in- directly she lied been responsible for the deathof'. a dozen men( and was herself implicated directly in at .least one murder, for it was for this crime that she was imprisoned. She ap- pears to be 04 a type more commonly met in the -movies than in real life, and this is waist makes her an inter- esting study. It was . in 1916 that she burst upon the underworld of Kansas City, coming from nobody knows where. It is said that she had respectable parents and waa con- vent -educated especial care being given to the development of her voice which apparently was something out of the ordinary. She was strikingly handsome, a. brilliant blonde, with eyes that attracted attention where - ever she went. They were large, light, shallow, of a slate blue tone, and absolutely without expression. They won her the title of the "Girl With the Agate Eyes." Such eyes, by the way, are recognized by psychi- atrists as being generally the char- acteristic of -.pathologic liars. Mattie Howard presently took up with Albert Pagle, a rising, young gangster, who was just attracting the attention of the police. Though she took up with many men in the course of" her career, there is no doubt that the infatuation for Pagle was the guiding impulse of her life, and inspired her subsequent career. For a year the lovers lived happily, if immorally, and then Pagle was arrested and sentenced to five years for highway robbery. Mattie was left broken-hearted, but began at once to ,plan for his release. Escape was out' of the question, but she fell in with some unscrupulous lawyer, who told her that if she - gould raise a sutfieient sum of money her fancy man would be restored to her. So Mattie formed a temporary al- liance with another thug, named Sam Taylor. One morning a diamond broker, named Joseph Morina, was found dead in a room with his head crushed in. It was known that he had spent the night with Mattie, but she had •disaippearrd. Later on sht was arrested in Taylor's company in Colorado and extradited. Taylor was sentenced to. fife imprisonment, but Mattie, with an indictment of mur- der in the second degree over her head, was able to regain her freedom on $20,000 bail. The bond was sup- plied by another gang of criminals, whose members 'hoped to use Mattie Howard in their (business. It turned out, 'however, that She was able to use them. The outfit was known as the Dale Jones gang, .and Mattie em- ployed her new friends for the pur- pose of raising money for her incar- cerated lover to such good effect that 'within a year every one of them had met death but one, and the one, a woman, was in prison for life, Mattie herself remaining outside. She had not enough money for the project, so she exerted her wiles one another desperado, named Spider Kelly, with whom she formed a part- nership. Kelly was shot dead while attempting to rob a 'drug store. Nfistitie herself was on the scene in an 'automobile, but drove off when •she saw her champion gall, Next she vamped a hold -Gip, named Tony Oruye. He .was hot and killed while trying to hold up a gadtbling resort. '.Her next victim was George Deans, a gunman, who was 'also killed in an attempted 'hold -tip shortly afterward, With :all this 'bloodshed, Mattie, was still without the money that would [procure Pagle's release, but in the meantime good conduct had cut down his sentence, and, to her great joy, he was released -one day and restored to her • bleod-stained embraces. Three weeks later he, too, was dead. He was shot andied from his wounds, after he had killed the cashier of a bank he was trying to rob. Mattie was 'his companion on thisfatal enterprise, and its tragic ending broke her heart. While he lay dying in the hospital she .re- fused to leave his side for food or sleeps, and when- Pagle passed away she lay for half is day sobbing over kis coffin. She organized the finest funeral . the underworld. of Kansas City ,had ever seen. The room was basted with flowers, and the coffin smothered in them. She chose the pallbearers from among the more rlluetrleus thugs of the city, selected 'the. -Biblical text for the funeral oration, and .herself sang the appropriate hymns.

Q.—How many men are employed inCanada's lumber industry and what are they paid in wages? . A.—There are about sixty thous- and ,men apd.their wages run to ,sixty million dollars a year. There are approximately four thous -and wood manufacturing establishments in Can- ada outside of the pulp and paper , industry. • Q.—Is it possible for this Ontario i municipality to obtain free trees from the Ontario ,Government Nuraeryand to get free supervdsion of the plant- ing work? A_ .At the last session of the On- tario Legislature, provision was made for supplying to any municipality which previously has come into pos- session of an area of waste land free tree stock from- the Government Nur- sery and supervision of the planting work -at the government's expense. It is also provided that the timber from such sand at maturity shall be the property of the municipality. The Government gets nothing out of it except the performance of a highly important public duty. Q.—'Is there much likelihood of lumber and wood products ,in general becoming cheaper in the next five. years? A.—There probably will be varia- tions in the present market but the prospects for what our grandfathers would call cheap lumber and cheap paper are ratiher dim. We are using up our forest wealth in Canada far faster than nature is growing it and forest fires are destroying manytimes what we annually cut. To keep our ' forests in productive condition more •money must be spent upon forest protection. upon the burning of debris, the combatting of forest -insect dis- eases and other constructive meas- ures. The product of the forest must stand this increased cost so that it is very doubtful if we will ever see again Canadian lumber and pulp and paper products at old-fashioned pric- es. The trouble is that we Canadians have been living not on the annual increment of interest of the forest, but taking a large slice of capital as well. This of course must stop or the nation will face actual timber bankruptcy. He Knows What To Do Next Time Reasons Why William Rimus Prais- es Dodd's Kidney Pills. His Backache is Gone and His Rest is Unbroken So He Will Turn Again to Dodd's Kidney Pills if His Trou- ble Returns. Quadville, Ont., February 20th. (Special.)—"I can truly say that I got great relief from Dodd's Kidney Pills." Such is the verdict of Mr. William Rimus, a well known and highly re- spected resident here. And here is the reason why Mr. Rimus is so posi- tive: "Before I used Dodd's Kidney Pills I had backache all the time," he states, "and..I had to get up once or twice every night and now I have no trouble at all. "I only used two boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills. But if ever 1 am trou- bled with my kidneys again I cer- tainly will use Dodd's Kidney Pills." Dodd's Kidney Pills are known all over Canada as a standard kidney remedy. They have made their repu- tation by doing good to people who suffered from any form of kidney d i sease. Ask your neighbors if Dodd's Kid- ney Pills are not the best remedy for sick kidneys. WHY ARTERIES GROW HARD WITH •AGE 'Since it is a necessity for a cer- tain amount of blood to reach all im- portant organa to insure their nutri- ' tion and functional efficiency, especi- ally in the case of the digestive ap- paratus and the eliminative organs, it seems inevitable that with advanc- ing years and deterioration of ma- chinery the blood must be pumped Snore vigorously through the circu- lation, which in turn -necessitates a strengthening of the vascular walls," says the Medical Record (New York), in trying to explain why the arteries so often harden with increasing age. "The hypertension in certain fevers is conservative, and when increase of blood pressure is .motivated by the presence of toxins in the blood 'it seems evident that Nature is seeking to expel the latter through the em - middy organs. Owing to the vest number of toxic principles which *e subject ,meat eliminate, the largest fraction of cases of .arteriosclerosis is best explained on this hypo heals.

Before they .reached the Palms the sun was out and shining with fierce brilliancy, reflecting its rays on every damp leaf, and drinking up each .glistening pool of water. MaeWilliams and Clay left the Langhams alone together, and return- ed to the office, where they assured each other again and again that there was no doubt, from what each had heard different. members of the family say, that they were greatly pleased with all that had been pre- pared for them. . "They think it's finer said young Langham who had run down the hill to tell them about it. "I tell you they are pleased. I took them all over the house, and they just ex- claimed every minute. Of course," he said, dispassionately, "I thought they'd like it, but I had no idea it would please them as much as it has. My Governor is so delighted with the place that he's sitting out there on the veranda now, rocking' himself up, and down and talking long breaths of sea -air, just as though :lie owned the whole coast -line." Langham dined with his ipeopte that night, Clay and MacWilliams having promised to follow him up the hill later. It was a night of much moment to them all, and the two men ate their dinner in silence, each con- sidering what the coming of the strangers might mean to him. As he was leaving the room Mac- Williams stopped and hovered uncer- tainly in the dgorway. - ""Are you going to get yourself in- to a dress -suit to -night?" he asked. Clay said that he thought he would; he wanted to feel quite clean once more "Well, all right, then," the ether returned, reluctantly. "I'll do it for this once, if you mean to, but you needn't think I' m going to make a practice of it, for I'm not. I haven't worn a dress -suit," he continued, as though explaining his principles in the matter, "since your spread when we opened the railroad—that's six months ago; and the time before that I wore one at MacGo'lerick'a funeral. MacGollderick blew himself np at Puerto Truxillo,' shooting rocks for the breakwater. We never found all of him, but we gave what we could get together as fine a funeral as those natives ever saw. The boys, they wanted to make him look respectable, so they asked ,me to lend them' my dress -suit, but I told them.I meant to - wear it myself. That's how I came to wear a dress -suit at a fun- eral. It was either me or Mac- Galderick." "MacWilliams," said Clay, as he stuck the toe of one boot into the heel of the other, "if I had your im- agination 3'd give up railroading and take to writing war clouds for the newspapers." "Do you mean you don't believe that story?" MacWilliams demanded, sternly. " I do," said Clay, "I mean I don't." "Well, let it go," returned Mac- Williams, gloomily; "but there's been funerals for less than that, let ane tell you." A half-hour later MacWilliams appeared in the door and stood gaz- ing attentively at Clay arranging his tie before a hand -glass, and then at himself in his unusual apparel. "No wonder you voted to dress up," be exelaim'ed finally, in a tone of personal injury. "Tlnat'1s not a dress -suit you've got on anyway. It hasn't any bails. And I !hope for your sake, :Mr. Clay," he continued, his voice siting in plaintive indigna- tion, "that you are not going to play that scarf on u's for a vest. And you haven't got a, high collar off, either. That's only a rough blue print of a dress -suit. 'Why, you look just as comfortable as though you were going to enjoy yourself --and y.0 look cool, too." "Well, why not?" laughed Clay. "Well, but look at me," cried the other. "Do I look cool? Do I look. happy or comfortable? No, I don't. I look just about the way I'fedl; dike a fool undertaker. I'm going to take this thing right off.
