Superintendent Black and staff, of the Ontario Railway have sidetracked everything so as to clear the way for relief trains.

 Babies who were carried to the wa ter by their parents, perished when the relentless wall of flame swept down upon the terrified crowd. Many peo- pie sought shelter from the fire only to suffer death from the dense smoke.

Rest for tuberculosis Patients.

DR.. Joseph H. Pratt of Boston, who
was the founder of the first tuberculo-
sis class in the United States in the
Emmanuel church in Boston, claims
that in the treatment Of tuberculosis
absolute rest. often In bed, must be
extended over a period of months, be-
fore the consumptive should take any
exercise. He says: Prolonged rest
in bed out of doors yields better re-
suits than any other method Of treat
ing pulmonary tuberculosis. Patients
will have better appetite and take
more food without discomfort and gain
weight and strength faster than pa
tients with active disease who are
allowed to exercise. Complications
are much less frequent When used
in the incipient stage recovery is
more rapid and surer"

ERADICATE THE cHIcKENPox
Disease Is Not Necessarily Fatal and
Fowls Have Recovered With
out Treatment.

Chickenpox, sometimes called SORE
head, is a disease which will be prev
alent at this time of the year among
the growing stock unless proper pre-
cautions are taken, says the Kansas
lndustrialist. 1t is contagious dis
ease, and spreads very rapidly among
the flock when it once gets Roadway.
1t seems to affect the cockerels more
than the pullets. Because of its ap-
pearance on the comb and face of
the bird it should not be difficult
matter to eradicate the disease.
Symptoms.-The disease appears on
the comb, face and wattles of the bird
in the form of yellowish nodules,
varying in size from pin head to one
fourth of an inch in diameter. These
nodules increase in size and turn dark
red. The disease should be treated
as soon as the first nodules are
noticed. 1t is not always fatal and
fowls have been known to recover
without any treatment. Insanitary
cause the disease.
lreatment.-As 1t is contagious
disease, the affected birds should be
removed from the flock Immediately.
If the nodules are removed with
sharp knife, and the affected parts are
treated with carbolated vaseline the
birds should recover in a few days
If the case is very far advanced the
sick fowls should be given a few
grains each of sulphur and cream of
tartar three times a day, and oxide
of zinc ointment should be applied to
the affected parts twice a day. The
latter treatment is recommended by
Doctor Lehman, and has proved a sat
isfactory remedy.
