MY MOITO IS CASH ANI> CAKIIY FRED PINDER, i ^Fiesherton DISTRESSJN EUROPE British Empire Effort to Help Smaller Nations. CanadUut Red Cross to OrRanize Appeal on Behalf of Orpl>a>i»â€" Call to Be Made In Armistice We^. < An urgent appeal for aid to com- bat the widespread disease and di.s- tresB in the war-stricken nrras in Europe has been made by tiie League of Red Cross Societies to tiie nntlona which have suffered least from the war. In response a War Kelief F"und has been undertaken in Great Britain with an Empire-wide appeal for con- tributions. The Fund is under the immediate patronage of His Majesty the King and has the support of all parts of the Empire. His Excellency, the Governor-Gen- eral of Canada, having received com- munications from London upon this matter, consulted the Prime Minister, and with his approval referred the question to the Canadian IJed Cross Society, and it was arranged for an appeal to be made in Canada during Armistice week In November. The Fund will be known as "The British Empire War Relief Fund." To Make Known the Nee<l. The Canadian Red Cross Society accepted the task of making this ap- peal known throughout Canada only in view of the relentlei^s cirt'iim- Stances and the humane desire to help to alleviate the terrible Buffering of a large number of peoples. The reasons are numerous and com- pelling. Large populations arc suf- fering from distress and disease. Mil- lions of innocent cliildren are among them. Even in time of peace great numbers of their people lived close to the bread line. The war drained them of all their surplus resources. Through the years of strife they were denied all but the barest neces- sities, and their condition now is pitiful Indeed. History has repeated itself. The diseases which took such fearful toil of human life after the Thirty Years' War, the Seven Years' War (1757-65), and the Napoleonic Wars are again widespread, and now there are millions of people in Galicia, Poland, Jugo-Slavia and Rou- mania who, in addition to being pov- erty stricken, are in the direst misery and despair on account of disease. In some twelve countries, most of which were either our Allies or friendly to the Allied cause, modern civilization is faced with the inevit- able consequences of a great war through partial famine and pesti- lence. A Previous Epidemic. That the epidemic la now one of alarming proportions and terrible in Its effect may be noted from tlio fol- lowing quotation from "Tlie Timi.s": "At present the worst results of typhus are confined to Galicia, Avliere tlie scl\oois are closed, business Is at a standstill, and civic life is crippled. Tho whole community la faced with starvation, whilst the absence of I'luthlng and drugs nmkcs it impos- sible for the authorities to make any lieadw»y against tlie epidemio. Here we have a country into wlikli tlio idea p| njodern s^anitation has never penSU'kted; for the most part there itt nS watejr supply in the smaller towns and villagi^s save wells, whilst the wprJi of sewers is done by open ^uiy«) running through the streets. 'TbM'e are no â- doctors, no nurses, and no't^eda, and the miserable typhus- strioken pa-tlents lie 'unattended on the .bure floor. Throughout the rural distrlotB whole families exist in miserable one-roomed huts, their diet consisting of starvation ratioi-s of potatoM an,d beet, both bread and meat being I'uxuriee 'rarely seen. In almost every hut there are several cases of typhus and in many instances whole families are stricken with the disease, and are perforce left to die unattended." Many Countries Are Suflferlng. What is said of Galicia Is true of other* countries of Europe, fuich as Kslhonia, Llthuimia, •Ijitiviu, hug.) territories of the Ukraine, Soviet Hns- Bla, Jugo-Slavla and' Czecho-Slova!;i.i. Nor is typhus the only alllktiun. Tuberculosis, smallpox, dysentery ami relapsing fever are also ravaging large areas. liuck of Medical Aid. These terrible conditions have been called to the atte'fatlon of tlie peopit; of the British Empire in a slaleme-t by the Right Hon. Arthur J. Bair«ui, who, speaking for the Council of thf League of Nations, says: "Men, women aitd children are dy- ing by tiljouBands, and over vast ami civilized ai-cas there are ueiilu'i medical appliances nor medical skill BuUlciont to cope with the horrors by which we are faced. Governments lia-vo in certain cases done all in liieir power to bring relief, but there re mains a Tast Qeid for charital<i.' enterprise which can bo dealt with only by voluntary effort." Eleven AMlllon Orphans. Dr. LlT-ingstone Farrand, chairman of the Central Committee of the American Red Cross, who has Just re- turned from Europe, states that there are 11,000,000 fatheidess chil- dren in Europe who face the next few years without hope of adequate care unless outside assistance is given. For Suffering Children. No stronger call could be made to humanity than that of suffering chil- dren, and on their behalf particularly tlio Canadian Red Cross will appeal lliroughoul Canada during Armistice v.cck.

GOITRE INJIVE STOCK All C asses More or Less Liable to This Trouble. Tlie tause of OoiU-e Not Yet Well Understood â€" Hlmple Treatment Is Su^Kested â€" .Summer Dairy Hints. (Contributed by Ontario Department of Agriculture. Turonto.) GOITRE, or Bronchoce^e, Is an enlarged condition of the thyroid gland, which consists of two lobes situated one on each side of the windpipe in the re- gion of the throat, and connected by an isthmus. Animals of the different claiises, of all ages, are liable to this oondition, but we wish to discuss the trouble when appearing at, or shortly after, birth. Each of the "said lobes is ovoid, and consists of minute vesicles sur- rounded by a plexus of minute blood vessels. The gland has no duct, but Is plentifully supplied with blood Vessels, and secretes an albuminous fluid, which becomes absorbed. The function of this gland Is not well understood. The lobes can be felt in an animal of Uny age by careful manipulation, and, as stated, are li- able to become enlarged (either one or both lobes) at any age. In some cases, especially in lambs and calves, it is of abnormal siie at birth. This is more frequently noticed in lambs than Di any other class of stock, and sometimes the enlargement la so great that respiration is intej-fered with, the young animal is weak and unthrifty and not infrequently dies. It is worthy of note that in foetal life the gland is quite large, but nor- mally becomes reduced before birth. The cause of enlargement is not well understood. Some claim that the condition in the young animal Is the result of insufficient nourishment for the dam during the period of gesta- tion. Others claim that it is caused by the pregnant animal consuming water too highly impregnated with lime. Symptoms â€" The symptoms cannot readily be mistaken. Either or both lobes are enlarged, sometimes at birth and sometimes not until a var- iable time after birth. If both lobes are enlarged a well-marked, movable lump will be noticed at each side of the throat, there not appearing to be any connection between the two. but appearing, both to sight and manipu- lation, as two separate lumps. If i)ut one lobe be enlarged, of course one Bide appears normal. These enlarge- ments are not sore to the touch, and In most cases do not apparently inter- fere with the health of the animal, but in some cases, especially in lambs, they interfere with respiration and .strength. Treatment â€" In many cases treat- ment is not nece.ssary, as the glands gradually become reduced without it, but treatment is wise In otlier cases, and in all cases hastens reduction. It consists in rubbing well onoe daily with an ointment made of 2 draTSs Bach of iodide of potassium and iodine mixed with 2 oz. vaseline, or other ointment or liquid containing a large percentage of iodine or one of its oompounds.â€" Dr. J. H. Reed, O. A. College, Guelph. Summer Dairy Notes. I realize that the majority of dairy farmers do not need reminders as to what they should do in ordinary prac- tice, but mankind tends to slackness. Most men need a wife to give occa- sional prods la order to keep them up to the mark. These notes are given with the same good intention that a wife "Just tells her husband" â€" be- cause she is interested in him. Failing pastures should be supple- uiflnted With grain, meal or green fetjd in the stable. The hot dry wea- ther of June means short feed for July and August"; this means small milk and cream chequcg, or a small amount of butter to sell. By the size of tiie'railk or cream cheque we may know the value of our herd. b\u not the value of Individual cows, which latter can be known only by testing each tow in the herd, with scales and fat teiit. Next to feed in importance, comes salt and water. Without plenty of these, cows cannot milk well. Salt aids digestion and gives tone to a cow'a aysteni. An average cow re- quires about one ounce of salt dally. Water la the great carrier of nature's supplies of plant and animal fsed. A cow in full Bow of milk will drink from ten to twenty gallons of water dally. Needless to say the water should be pure. Cooling milk and cream on the farm is perhaps ne.vl in importance. Milk for the condensery, cheisery, or for city trade, should be cooled to be- low 70 degs, as soon as possible after milking â€" to a lower temperature if at all po.ssibie. Some lirm.s will not accept milk at a temperature above 65 degs. F. and prefer it below 60 degs. Plenty of cold water, or pref- erably ice-water for cooling uiitk is needed. Where water is scarce it may be used for watering stock after cooling the milk, if the coaling tank be kept clean. A milk cooler is a great convenience where there ia a good supply of cold water under pressure. Cooling cream Is much more easily done, because there Is only about ten to fifteen per cent, the bulk to cool, as compared with milk. Immediately after separating the fresh cream should be placed in cold water and allowed to reumin there until the cream pnil is needed for the next lot. Kmpty into the cream can. wash and repeat llie oi)eralion twicu a day. This will ln.Mure good, sweet iieam for butlennaking or for any other pur- pose.
