' 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

A point which must be -made in
,•ulwedlou both with Ashanti and the

munication to the governor. Beyond
this they are, free. 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.

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. She
had to be torn away from the grave

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.

them they •burst into an echoing
shout of laughter, which rose above
the noise of the wind and rain, and
before which the disappointments and
trials of the morning were swept a-
way. 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. Yon• red T,d'

When they reached the Palms, Clay

Except for the ceaseless murmur
of the insect life about 'themthe
night was slbsolutely still—so still
that the striking of the ships' !,ells
in the harbor came to them sharply
across the surface of the water, and
they could hear from time -to time
the splash of some great flab And the
steady creaking of an oar in a row-
lock that grew fainter and fainter
as it grew further' away, until it was
drowned in the distance. MlasLang-
m was for a long time silent. She
stood with her hands clasped behind
ser, gazing from side to side into
he moonlight, and had appareptly
forgotten that Clay was present.
"Well," he said at last, "I think
ou appreciate it properly. I was
fraid you wou'd exclaim about it,
and say it was fine, or clharnting, or
omething ."
Miss Langham turned to him and
miled slightly. "And you told me
nee that you knew me so yery well,"
he said.
Clay chose to forget much that he
ad said on that night when he had
t met her. He knew that the bad

so because he did not think he would
ee her again; but, now that he -was
