CANADIAN NATIONAL RAILWAY'S OFFICIAL NAME FOR GOVERNMENT LINES Officers, Connecting Railways and the Public to adopt new title at once. A circular has just been issued over the tugniture of the President, Mr. D. B, Hanna, aunouncing that effective Junuary Ist, 1919, all Government Railway lines heretofore known as Canadian Northern Railway Sye vem, including its Eastern and Western nes, and Canadian Government Railways comprising the National Transcontinental Ruilway, Intercolonial Railway of Canada. and the Prince Edward Island Railway, 'will hereafter be known and operated under the name CANADIAN NATIONAL RAILWAYS the headquarters of which will be in' To- ronto, ; All Officers of the aystem are requested to use the name, CANADIAN NATIONAL RAILWAYS, in correspandence and the conduct of affairs generally. It is also de- sirable that the public and railway's con- nections put into practice at once the new title in addressing communications, reporta and general correspondence to the various officers of the Canadian Netienal Railways Minard's Liniment Cures Diphtheria. Exploiting the Returned Soldier Owen Sound is again being canvassed, says the Sun-Times by returned men for a magazine, and in spite of much advice on the matter these mien secure a deal of brs. { iness in the town. That the soldiers ure oeing exploited by the publishers is not taken into consideration by the well-mean- ing purchasers and that the big end goes not to the returned men but to either the publisher or to someone who organizes the men, is not considered. Ever since the for- | mstion of the Dominion Great War Veter- | ans Association, this matter of the exploita- ' tion of returned men to sell certain periodi- 'eals has been loudly 'condemned by that body. Nine times out of ten, it is claim. ed, these magasines or books sold by re- tlrned men are sold, not on the merit of the magazine or book, but because they are pressed" on the public by returned rie Some say they are unable to work or do anything else. some claim to be putting themselves through university or taking special courses, It would be well for the public to use care in purchasing books or periodicals which they do not want.

With respect to material a good aggregate would be one part material, which would pass through a twenty-mesh sieve, and two parts, which would range from the previous size men- tioned up to one-quarter inch stone, Only good sharp material should be used -- one in which there is clay should be avoided. If this cannot be Procured a sand washing machine | will have to be added to the equip- | nrent of the plant, Where a great many tile manufac turers make a mistake in the making | of concrete tile is in the fact that they use too "lean" a mixture, that is not enough cement to the material. The proper mixture for Ule is one part cement to 2% parts of crushed material, and in no case should the mix be more lean than one to three of a totsl aggregate, sufficient water being added to the mixture to make a gum consistency, | When the tile are completed they should be placed in kilns where they | may be steam cured and left there | for a period of not less than 48 hours al The kiln should be about elx feet | In helght and of a width sufficient to | allow the required number of trucks| on which the tile have been placed | to rest during the curing process. The tile should be placed in the kiln not more than 1% hours after ft has been manufactured and kept | there for 48 hours during the steaming process. After it has been cured it might be removed from the kiln and piled in the yard, and should have at least two weeks hard- | ening before being again disturbed. | Before the product of any tile plant | is offered for sale samples should be tested either at the plant or sent to the Drainage Department at the 0.

As with all contagious or infectious diseases it is caused by a specific virus which 1s communteable from animal to ant- | mal by contact or surroundings, may be carried from a diseased to a | healthy animal on the hands or clothes of the attendant, on pails, | forks, harness, clothing, etc., and it is possible it may be carried consider- able distances in the air. Symptoms -- When the abscesses | of the lower Jaw (called the maxi lary space) the general health ts often so little affected that nothing wrong is suspected ury{l the abscesses break, but in most cases there is a | dullness, more or less loss of appe- ute, increase of temperature, nasal | discharge, at first watery, but soon becoming purulent, cough, often dif- | ficulty in swallowing. A tumor or tumors can be felt, and generally seen In the neighborhood of the head, usually in the space already referred | to in the throat or higher up, just | posterior to the lower Jaw. In severe cases the patient becomes unable to swallow, the cough becomes very painful and breathing more or less Inbored and difficult; and he usually stands with his nose protruded, fac- ing a supply of fresh air if at liberty. | Treatment.--In mild cases good care and comfortable quarters are all that is needed, other than flushing | out the cavities of the abscesses three | times daily with a five per cent. solu- tion of one of the coal tar antiscepties | or carbolic acid. In more acute cases | in addition to the above It is good | practice to steam the nostrils occa- | sionally by holding the patient's head ,| in steam escaping from a pot of boll-'| ing water, to which has been added | & little carbolic acid. Feed and water '| out of a high manger, as he swallows with greater ease when head is ele- vated. Give the patient two to four drams of hyposulphite of soda (ac- cording to size) three times daily. Keep hot poultices to the throat, | lance abscesses as soon as ready and | treat-as above. Feed on soft, easily | swallowed and easily digested food. If he wont eat keep up his strength by giving new milk and raw eggs with an oz. of sweet spirits of nitre several times daily. Do not attempt to drench him, Give the powders out of a spool, placing them well back on the tongue. 'Give the liquids-with a 2-0. syringe. of suffocat'a, and the amateur can- not relieve it, a veterinarian should be sent for promptly. In cases of irr gular strangles the samé treatment, less the local attention to the form- ing abscesses is all that an amateur, na ater all, that @ veterinarian can.
