Exeter Times, 1912-10-31, Page 3THE SUMMER COMPLAINT OF INFANTS Cholera itifantem begins with a pro. fuse diareicea, the stomach ecomes trritated, mid in many cases vomiting ancl purging set in. The child rapidly loses flesh, and is soon reduced to great langour and prostration. Cholera infautum can be quickly cured • by the use of Dr. Fowler's Extract of Wild Strawberry. Mrs. David A. Cleve- land, Apple River, N.S., writes:—"Last •September ray little boy, four yeers old, and %eagle, two years old, were taken one afternoon with vomiting spells, and hi a feW hours they had cholera infantum, I had Dr. Fowler's Extract of Wild • Strawberry in the house, and commenced using it. The cholera got so bad tie meet day, they passed nothing but blood, kept on using the medicine; and in a few days they were cured. I always keep a 'bottle in the house, as I don't think there is anything better for surimiee complaint than Ie.. Fowler's Extract of Wild Straw- berry." • Some dealers may try to sell you - something else, but for the good of your child's health, insist on having "Dr. Fowler's." It has been oe the market for over sixty-five years, so you are not :using a new and untried remedy. Price 35 cents. Manufactured only by The Milburn Co., Limited, Toronto. Ora OVER RALF...ARE WORKERS. In France Sixty-four Out of Every Itundred Toil. On aal area. of 200,000 square miles, one-half of which is under cultivation, France suppbrts a pop- ulaeion of about 3,000,000, which scarcely varies from year to year. For 'some time agricultural condi- tions have been most disastrous. Bad seasons floode and crop fail- ures have reduced the people to de- spair, eays .a writer in The Cern turye discussing "The Trede of France." One half of the popula- tion ands its occupation in agricul- ture, and one-half • are breadwin- ners. Sixty-four out of every one hundred men are wage w•orkees, and thirty-three out of every one hundred women. • The unhappinese which can come to a people so dependent upon in- dustry when dull times prevail is in- tensified in this case by the impor- tance attached to the savings, which must be laid aside each year if life is to be counted a SUOCen, To own a government bond with its lottery attachment is the ambition of all, for the bond not only yields an in- come but thene is always the hope and a chance of a prize, something that has not been worked for, a sudden accession of wealth. Other securities naturally yield better re- turns, but with those who have more imagination -ellen wealth they are not so popular. • AUTO BRINGS SIMPLICITY. — " London Finds That Customs Cen- turies Old Rave Been Upset. ' The advent of the automobile has caused a rapid decline in ostenta- • tion among wealthy people in Eng- land, Splendid liveries, powdered - wigs and eockades have all gone out of fashion and severe external eini- plieity is in Order. The present day automobile has upset customs established for cen- turies. Families who used to have their °oats of arms emblazoned on . their ca,rria,ge, ,doors now have a • tiny monogram in its place so plain that it is scai•Ceiy riotieeable. Few persons except Ambassadors now use °deludes; they have beeome distinctly unfashionable. Iii. fact all distinctive emblems of rank have disappeared, The car of one of the highest peers of *the realm is indistinguishable from that of a city business man. The weal- thy classes have/ never experienced such a craze for simplicity in the • ornamentation of their vehicles as at present. lp- IP WHEN THE LIVER IS INACTIVE CONSTIPATION SOON FOLLOWS.

She cooking of food .has much to do with its nutritive value, Many articles which, owing to their me- ohanical eOilditiOn Of other causes, are qiiite unfit for nonrishment when raw are very nutritious when cooked It is also a matter of coronion ex- perienoe that a well cooked food is wholesome and appetizing, while the .satne material badly eoeked is unpalatable. There are three ehief purposes of cooking. The :first is to change the rciechanical condition so thatthe digestive juice e can act upoa the food niore freely. Heather often changes the strive ture of food materials very materin ally, se that they are more eaSify Chewed and Mere easily and -O'er!, mighlY ,4igasteel. The eee9t4-1t to make it more appetizieg by impiety - lug the appearanee llaver, or hhtle Food which is attrantive to the taste quickens the flow of saliva and ,other oligeetive juices, and thus di- neetion is aided, The third is to kill by heat, any disease gereas, parasites or other claneDerous or- ganisms it may contain. This is of- ten a very important matter, and, applies to both animal and vege- table feeds, The cooking of raeate develops the pleasing taste and odor of ex- tractives and that due' to the browned fat and tissues and softens and loosens the protein of the con' - nective tissues and thus makes the meat more tender. Extreme heat, however, tends to coagulate and harden the albumin, olds of the lean portions, and also weakens the flavor of extractives. If .the heating is carried too far a, burned or charred product of bad flavor results. Meats lose weight in copking. A small part' of this is due to escape of meat juices and fat, but the chief part of the material lost, is simply water. The nutritive value of meat soup depends upon the substances which are dissolved out of the meats, bones and gristle, by the water. In ordinary meat broths these consist almost wholly, of extractives and salts, which. are very agreeable and often most useful as stimulants? but have little or no value as appetizer or nutriment, since they neither build tissue nor yield energy. The principles which underlie the coolcing of fish are essentially the same as with meats. ' VALUABLE MANUSCRIPTS. For Britielt. Museum—One in Chi- nese, Written in 1120 A.D. Word conies from London that the British lkfuseum has recently come into the possession of two rare manuscripts, one Chinese and the other Persian. • The Chinese manus- cript was written about 1120 A.D. on silk, and is remarkable for the beauty of its writing. It contains the works of Cha,une Tzu „.. • • Chaung Tzu., who had a brilliant style and was a master of irony, at- tacked the schools of Confucius and Mo Ti with great ability: He abolinds in quaint anecdotes and allegorical instances. A character- istic personal anecdote of the au- thor is the following: "Chuang Tzu was fithing in the P u when the Prinoe of Ch'u- sent two high officials to ask him to take charge of the administration of the Ch'u State. . "Chuang Tzu went on fishing, and, without turning his head, said: 'I have heard that in Ch'u there is a sacred tortoise which has been deed scone 3,000 years, and that the prince keeps this tortoise earefully encloseclin a chest on the altar of his anoestral temple. Now, would this tortoise rather be clea,d and have its remains venerated or be alive and wagging its tail in the mud' . "It would rather be alive,' re- plied the, two officials, 'and wagging its tail in the mud.' " 'Begone I' cried Chuang Tzu. `I, too, Will wag my tail in the mud.' " Ifere are some of his pithy say- ings: "A man who knows he is a, fool is not a great fool." "Charity and duty to one's neigh- bors are as caravansaries establish- ed by wise rulers of old; you may stop there one night, but not for long, or you will incur reproach." "Birth is not a beginning; death is not an end." "Alas! man's knowledge reaches to a hair on a hair, but not to eter- nal peace." • The Persian manuscript is an il- lumineted and illustrated copy Of the "Mesnavi i ma' navi" of Judal ud-Din Benne a famous nuptial poet. Its influente on Persian lit- erature is comparable to the in- fluence on European literature of Dante's "Divine Coneedy,',' from which in point of date it is not far reinoved. This manuscript of the poem was written in 1295 AD., thirty-four years after the death of the author. It is probably the eld- est complete copy of the work exist- ing in Europe. The handwriting is. extremely beautiful. In addition to the illu- med inattext, there' are numeeceus reiniatures.in rich and delicate col - nes, while gold is largely employed throughout. • A.N131ALS' DEATI1 EASIER: ' In English .slaughter houses anie mals are killed, by ,st, new and hu- mane method, .,The instrtitrtene-em- ployed is .a speifIgnoperated pistol thatennejecte.,aeshaip 'blade into the arilientnellead. -NO bullet :enters the nen!:,;gele'ea,411dmZ; ni.)8113;.lacItelr idsite.estdlY a m o , upon the vital poieteil the, SIctill, so that the aim will be tinCrr.ing: deatal will be instantaneous; and the it.niniar, tfeel no pain, tut'feie . 4:.‘ `You mnst be Opposed. e to :big tWhy q), •`"You; don'eadvertise!' 11E SE130A1 SCII))1.

Beware of tht" leaven — Testi is speaking in figurative language referring to the contarainating evi j_nfluence of the Pharisees and th courtiers and followers of Herod The repetition of the word "lea ven" indicates perhaps distill° kinds of corrupting influences em anaiingrespectively from the teach ing of the Pharisees and the cour practices -of the king. • 16.

IMatthew (16. 8) it is the defect of their faith that is em- phasized. 19. Baskets full—The word bas- ket in verses 19 and 20 represents different Greek words. In this verse a small wicker or individual traveling basket is meant; in verse 20 a laager basket dr hamper. 'The distillation is one of several which Mark is careful to make in cora- paring the incident of the feeding of the four thousand, retaining in each reference the •precise details used in the Original narrative. 21. Do ye not yet understand ?— Their sense of preception is so ob- tuse that even this reference to the familiar experienee of the marvel- ous power of Jesus -to provide food in any emergency does not suggest to them the real meaning of his words. 0 Matthew proceeds to ex- rlain that finally they did discover eirat in speaking to them of the leaven he had the corrupt "teach- ing of the Jewish sects in mind, and not the mere matter of bread (Matt. 16. 11, 12). 22. )3ethsaida—Probably Beth - Beide Julies, on the northeastern shore, is meant, though it may have been the Bethsaida on the west side of the lake; The former eity would be a little nearer to the villages of Caesarea Philippi, vis- ited immediately _afterward.

There It Is Loohed On a$ a acre Daily Duty. From the age of 7, study with the Danish child is a saY341,1S- tiling, end there seems to be a rooted opinioe among all the father's and mothers in Denmark that reading and writ- ing do net come by nature, oonse- queetly work is the rule, because it is looked en as merdy daily duty not to be speeially commended. For instance, the young girl learns housekeeping as an art. Manual training is an inseparable part, in eome form or other,, of the education of boys. In Copenhagen there are as many schools as there ere restaurants, whicb is saying a great deal, for in that city in nearly every third house there seeme to be something sold to eat or drink. These schools are very well eon - ducted. English and German are now taught in them, and in some planes French lessons are given during the last year of the course, says the Youth's Compaeion. Private schools are numerous, and well attended. These lead to the university, which is co-educa- tional. The Danes are very proud of their 'schoolhouses, both public and private. There is an' adage that if you see a good house anywhere it is certain to be a 'schoolhouse. •The high school system in Denmark was feuncled by the farnoes Bishop Grundbeig. It has done very nnich to condolida,te Danish notions of nationality and to advance the ag- ricultural prosperity of the people. The high schools exist in the cou-ntry districts, and are attended an the summer by young men and in the winter by younebwomen. They resemble somewhatour Chau.- tauqba, but the curriculuni is more .limited; the students all live in one house, and the amusements are very simple and connected with na- tional and religious ideas. When a farmer's .son or daughter has sufficient money to spend on a term or two at a high school, he or she is happy. —op A. GRECIAN PRINCESS. Princess Wien of Greece. PRESERVING; TIES.

The Recent Manoeuvres in Saxony lied 125,000 Troops En,. gaged. The "Raiser Manoeuvres" of the German Army, whieh have just taken place in Saxony, left no doubt in the minds of professional observers from abroad that, with exceptions which may be dismissed as minor, the Kaiser's, land forces are perhaps the world's model mili- tary organization, says a, foreign military observer writing in the London (England) Mail.

The main landscape fee- ture was the River Elbe, on both sides of which was a Wealth of hills, admirably suited for tactical and strategical operations, villages, and good roads. ' Including a regiment of reserves on the Elbe, roundly, 195,000 troops were employed. A Red invading army, -representing a.

Blue had the Zeppelin III. airship and the eau:to number of flying ma- chines as Red. It may be. said at °hoe that the work of the military aircraft was of first-rate order. As far as was ascertainable disa.ster overtook only one aeroplane of all the eraft engaged. The scouting on both sides was so efeciently done that ,each army was compelled to resort to an extraordinary amount of night work in order to screen its movements and tactical operations. Never before has it been brought home so vividly to my mind that the armies of the ferture will be com- pelled to march and fight under co- ver of darkness to a. degree hithee to unexperienced in the annals of war. • GREAT SCOUTING. • For far reconnaissance cavalry and aeroplanes co-operated for the fine time in German manoeuvres, a noteworthy step in the effective use of aircraft.' There were innum- erable occasimis when both armies had reliable knowledge of the movement and dispositions of the enemy many hours, or even a whole day in advarme of what would have been the ease if cavalry scouting only had been relied upon. Zeppe- lin III. was omnipresent, literally, and rendered inealculably valuable service eto Blue.

ARTILLERY WITH INFANTRY. The inereased co-operation of ar- tacked well and with initiative and tillery and infantry, was note- worthy. The artillery duel of tra- dition seems to be a thing of the past. Nowhere was there any great concentration of heavy guns for "pounding" purposes exclusively. Instead, single batteries, well up with the infantry line, were -con- spicuous, There were frequent oc- easions when artillery would be used to cover an infantry retreat and then deliberately sacrificed to the- enemy, without any effort to save guns, the obvious preferenee being to preserve infantry for fight- ing purposes. " Supply, the least picturesque, eut in the last analysis the vital constituent, of a fighting organism, wes revealed afresh as one of the most ineonspicuous but most effi- cient departments of the German Army. RESTLESS OFFENSIVE. • General von Hansen, Saxon War. Minister commanding Blue, and Geeeral von 13uelo, commanding Red, were both, of course, true to the German dogma of restless of- fensive, as their Leitmotivs. All their manoeuvres had the offensive primarily in mind. One of the tasks set generals in the present manoeuvres was co-op- eration witbs neighboring armies. Both Red and Blue, in addition to actual foroes, had "a,sstuned armies" on either flank for theoreti- cal co-operation. A novelty wan the appearance in the Elbe of a flotilla of motor -boats, armed with raa- chine-guns, intended to harass river -crossings. They proved quite ineffective and useless -except for transport of machine-guns, being far too vulnerable to attanks from troops on the banks. • USE OP AUTOS, Another innovation was the em- ployment of auto-omnibuees for - troop-tran,sport. The surprise ar- rival of a heavy detachment of rifle- men, who were rushed up in omni- buses, proved the decisive factor in a certain engagement—an experi- enee v,Thich demonstrated the ra,sh- pees of cavalry attacking infantry in position. Motor -ears, motor- cycles, and motor -trucks were used to an unpreeedenteclle large de- gree. River -crossing having played so conspicuous a role in the man- oeuvres, it remains to be said that the pioneers worked with marked precision in bridge - building, though their operations were some- times not distinguished for speed.
