CATTLE BUYERS. High Price of Fodder Largely Re. sponsible-The Wolfe Island Farm. ers Recelved a Carload of Salt, © Wolfe Island, Dec. 10.--It js stated that Saturday last was one of fhe husiest days the steamer Wolfe Ja. lander has éver had, dae to her ten days' absence, In addition to ear rylng an' unusually large number of passengers and a heavy cargo of fredght on each trip, she made two specials with ealitle. Messis. Brice- land, Patterson and Constance have been heavy shippers in the above line. The depletion of cattle in such large numbers will cértainly be feit another season. One reason atiri- buted is the high price of fodder. Hay at the present time is selling for twenty dollars 4 ton in farmers' barns. The United Farmers' Society have received a 'par load of salt, Tt wae distributed sterday to those who had given orders at the rate of 'two dollars per two hundred pound sack, delivered on g¢he Island wharf, which is & very much cheaper rate than it can be purchased in the ordinary way. A car of bran and shorts will be the next move, The annual meeting of thre ghove society was held last week, For Agonizing Corns You Can't Beat It. Certainly mot, "Putnam's" has 'em all beat a mile, It's a marvel on corns and foot lumps, acts like magic, Why for nearly fifty years Putnam's Ex- tractor has been' the standard rem- edy, the dependable one, the sure kind that never disappoints. It's painless too. Think of it! Paint it on to-night, in the morning the pain is all gone. Small wonder the sale of Putnam's Corn Extractor is so large, 25¢. at dealers. everywhere. GAS IN THE STOMACH 1S DANGEROUS Recommends Dally Use of Magnesia To Overcome Trouble Caused By Fermenting Food and Acid Indigestion. Gas and wind in the stomach ac- companied by that full bloated feel Ing after eating are almost certain evidence of the presence of excessive hydrochloric acid In the stomach, creating so called "acld indigestion." Acld stomachs are dangerous be- cause too much acld irritates the deli- cate lining of the stomach, often leading to gastritis, accompanied by serious stomach ulcers, Food fer- ments and sours, creating the dis- tressing gas which distends the stom- ach, and hampers the normal func- tions of the vital internal organs, of- ten affecting the heart. It is the worst of folly to neglect such a sérious. condition or to treat with ordinary digestive aids which have no neutralizing effect on the gtomach acids. Instead get from any druggist 'a few ounces of Bisurated Magnesia and take a teaspoonful in & quarter glass of water right after eating. This will drive the gas, wind and bloat right out of the body, sweeten the stomach, neutralize the excess acid and prevent its formation and there is no sourness or pain. Bis- urated Magnesia (in powder or tab- let form---never liquid or milk) is harmless to the stomach, inexpensive to take and the best form of mag- nesia for stomach purposes. It is used by thousands of people who en- joy their meals with no more fear of indigestion, tendance, The i { with a record a i y sere | officers tion," which 1 be held routo Shipmer Américan heavy of & Daniel famMy, Long Poin thelr residence in th winter.

Denbigh, Dee, 7 Influenza was congidered to be safely over and done with in this vicinity, as nearly all its first vietims had recovered or were improving nicely, but it 'has made its re-appearance with a vengeance, and is now afflicting nearly every home it had first miss- ed In several families every mem- ber is down with it, and it is ditri- cult to obtain help. The school, which had not been closed during its first attack, had to be closed now, as not only quite a number of the pupils are sick, but George Ball, teacher, ig also one of the vietims of the "flu" jand ery ill.

' A very sad case of "Did not know ft was loaded" occurred last Tues- day in the home of Willlam J. Thompson in the adjoining township of Miller. IA small 22-caliber rifle, supposed to be empty, had been hung up on a nail on the wall of the room out of reach of ehildren, but while the elder members of the family were busy out of doors a little boy about six years old moved 4 chalr to the wall and took the rifle down.

Quinine, though so long recognized as a cure for mala¥Fia, has been ex tensively used as a preventive only with the last very few years, In Ttaly its employment in this scale by the Government, quinine pills being sold at cost to communes and towns, which are required to dis- tribute them gratis among all the people who are tos poor to pay for them, By this means--the pills being re- commended to be taken regularly as soon as warm weather ayives--ma- jatial conditions in Italy W astly improved, relatively, occurring, while the death rdte from the malady has been reduced to one- fourth or one-fifth of what it used to be. This, too, although many of the people do not take the quinine before the disease strikes them In the Italian army, where men are under discipline and obliged to take the stuff, malaria cases have been cut down to a small fraction of the old- thne 28 per cent, 'Similar results are reported from Greece and Algeria. The preventive dose Is seven grains daily for adults and half that quan- tity for children under ten yehrs. One important effect of the treatment is to render cases milder and more eas- ily curable when they do arrive. Quinine is a deadly poison to ma- laria germs. The supposition is that, when used in advance, it interferes with their multiplication in the blood, keeping them below the number ne- cessary to produce an attack, The public health service advises that this method be widely adopted in the United States. A farmer may not be able to drain and clear his land so as to get rid of mosquitoes. He may find it difficult to make his house mosquito .proof with sereens.

Gilbert Nobbs Tells, I first heard of St. Dunstan's when crossing the North Sea in a hospital ship after my release from captivity in Germany. I had been given a champagne supper on board to cele- brate my release--the first time that I ever remember having drunk cham- pidigne in bed. A R.AMC. sergeant came to my bedside with the inevitable form to 611 up, and I am afraid I did not an- swer his interrogations with that sol- emn dignity which his official tone seemed to expect, "Your nathe, sir?" "So and so." "Regiment, sir?" "So and so?" "Rank, sir?" "So and so." "Nature of wound, sir?" "Bullet through my head." "Gunshot wound through head," he corrected. "Same thing." 'Any operations performed, sir?" "I have had my right eye taken out." "Right €Ye excised. Any disability, sir?" ' "Blind in one eye." "Then you can see with the other, sir?" "No. "Then you must be blind in both eyes, sir," "No, I'm blind in gne eye." "How edn that be, sir?" "Sergeant," I replied quietly, "1 have only got one eye!" And then he dropped hid air of dignified: officialism, and became human, "You fairly caught me there, sir. I'm very sorry you've lost y®ur sight, sir. You gught to tty and get sent to St. Dunstan's."
