Poison Ivy.

early autumn when children roam
the woods they very frequently come
in contact with poison ivy or poison
oak. If the skin is wet from rain or
perspiration one Is more liable to be
attacked. The poison may be con-
veyed by wood cut in the vicinity Of
the plant and handled by people who
have not actually been near the plant.
1t also may be conveyed from one per-
son to another by bath towel or
brush.
The first symptom noted is an in
tense itching, then the skin reddens
and in a short time ali eruption ap-
pears. This eruption frequently comes
within an hour or two after contact
with the poison, and sometimes not
for a couple of days Considerable
swelling Of the parts usually accom-.
panies the eruptions, which are vesicu-
lar-that Is, they look like tiny
blisters. In some cases the eruption
becomes pustular.
The poison runs a course of about
two weeks, although secondary erup-
lions may follow for several weeks
without fresh exposure.
The treatment consists in relieving
the itching by applying some cooling
lotion as lime water, solution OF
baking soda or a mixture of lead wa.
ter and laudanum.

TRAIN LOAD after
TRAIN LOAD OF
SETTLERS
ARE GOING 70 CENTRAL CANADA.

The question of reciprocal trade re-
lations between the United States and
Canada has provoked considerable
discussion and interest. Whatever
else the discussion may have done, 1t
has brought out the fact that on the
Canadian side of the line the agri.
cultural situation is one that forces
attention, and it has also brought forth
the fact which 1t is we'll to face, that
on the American side Of the border,
there Is vastly increasing popula-
ton to be fed with a somewhat de-
creasing proportion Of food products.
This article Is intended to point out
to those who may wish to become OF
those who can raise wheat, oats, bar
ley, flax, cattle and hogs at the least
cost that the opportunities in Central
Canada are what they are seeking.
During the past year the official fig
ures show that upwards Of 100000
Americans located in Canada, and the
greatest majority of these have settled
on farms, and when the time comes,
which it will within few years, they
will be ready to help serve t. ir par.
ent country with the food stuffs that
its increasing population will require.
The immigration for the spring has
now set in in great earnest, and train
load after train load of a splendid
class of settlers leave weekly from
Kansas City, Omaha, Chicago, De.
troit, st. Paul and other points. Most
of these are destined through to points
in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Al
berta. The reports that come from
the different farming districts there
are that the spring is opening up we'll,
and the prospects for a splendid crop
this year are very good. In some dis
tricts good homesteads are yet avail
able. The price Of all farm lands has
naturally had an increase, but it is
still away below its earning capacity.
The immigration branch of the Domin.
ion Government has just published its
1911 illustrated pamphlet, which may
be secured on application to the De.
partment Of the Interior, Ottawa,
Canada, or any of the agents Of the
Dominion Government, whose adver.
tisement may appear elsewhere in this
paper.

A trial package of Munyon's Paw Paw
Pills will be sent free to anyone on re-
quest. Address Professor Munyon, SD &
jefferson sts., Philadelphia, Pa. If you are
in need of medical advice, do not fail to
write Professor Munyon. Your communi-
cation will be treated in strict confidence,
and your case will be diagnosed as care
fully as though you had personal inter-
view.
Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are unlike
all other laxatives or cathartics. They
coax the liver into activity by gentle
methods. They do not scour, they do
not grippe, they do not weaken, but they
do start all the secretions of the liver
and stomach in way that soon puts
these organs in healthy condition and
corrects constipation. In my opinion
constipation is responsible for most all
ments. There are 26 feet Of human
When this pipe becomes clogged the
ing biliousness, indigestion and impure
blood, which often produce rheumatism
and kidney ailments. No woman who
suffers with constipation or any liver
ailment can expect to have a clear
complexion or enjoy good health. If
I had my way I would prohibit the sale
of nine-tenths of the cathartics that are
now being sold for the reason that they
soon destroy the lining Of the stomach,
setting up serious forms of indigestion.
and so paralyze the bowels that they re-
fuse to act unless forced by strong
purgatives.
Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are tonic
to the stomach, liver and nerves. They
invigorate instead of weaken; they en-
rich the blood instead Of impoverish
it; they enable the stomach to get all
the nourishment from food that is put
into it.
These pills contain no calomel. no
dope; they are soothing, healing and
stimulating. They school the bowels
to act without physic.

their cause was not recognized. AT
any rate, the increased consumption
of canned meats and vegetables in.
creases the possibility of such condi.
tions Lack of rigid laws for the in.
spection of foods has permitted un.
scrupulous dealers to put on the mar
ket foods not fit for consumption, but
which, on account of their cheapness
or attractive appearance, have been
bought in large quantities by the poor.
er classes. This desire to buy things
cheaply also causes people to purchase
partly decayed fruits and vegetables.
In the warm weather too much
care cannot be exercised in the care
of food material, especially meat and
milk Many cases OF poisoning are
traced to warmed-over meats which
had been kept too long, or to careless
ly kept chicken salad, or contaminated
fish
The symptoms of poisoning are
nausea and vomiting, with sharp,
gripping intestinal pains. Headache,
chilliness and dizziness often are
present. There also may be consider
able fever.
The treatment is, first to clean out
the intestinal tract with a good laxa-
tive as castor oil or one-tenth grain
of calomel, taken every half hour for
ten doses, followed an hour later with
a dose of epson salts. This must be
done even though the bowels have
moved several times, for it is neces.
sary that all the irritating material be
gotten rid Of The patient should be
kept warm, heat being applied to the
feet and abdomen. Hot drinks, as
ginger tea, tend to reduce the pain
and also provide the necessary stimu-
lation. Never give pain BELIEVERS"

as these are usually very depressing
to the heart and may be the last

pressed heart can stand. Do not delay
too long in sending for physician,
as there is danger of collapse and It
may be necessary to give powerful
stimulants to tide over the crisis.

HOME
NURSING
Disorders Of Children.

Diarrhoea is a disorder very com
mon among children during the au.
tumn months. It is attended by a
high death rate, especially with chill
dren under two years of age.
The cause is usually improper feed
ing. The common practise among
certain classes Of people of feeding
Is very unwise. Up to the age of
nine months baby needs nothing but
milk and is able to digest very little
else. Yet how often we see people
feeding babies coffee, potatoes, meat
and even things that are hard for a
grown person to digest! Babies fed
entirely upon milk often become sick
because proper attention has not been
given to the care of the milk and bot
ties. Cleanliness is certainly neces-
slty here. With older children the
diarrhoea is often caused by eating
unripe or over-ripe fruit or vegetables.
The symptoms are an increased
number of bowel movements, attend
ed by gripping pains in the abdomen.
They sometimes are accompanied by
vomiting, headache and fever.
The treatment Is first to stop all
food, and clean out the intestinal
tract. This can be done by giving an
enema or injection of warm water or
by giving a dose Of castor oil. Some
people are unable to understand why
thi: should be done when there al
ready have been numerous bowel
movements. The diarrhoea is caused
by some food that is remaining in the
intestine and setting up an irritation.
The irritating material must be re.
moved before we can overcome the
diarrhoea and we do this by means
of an enema or dose Of laxative. The
child then should be kept quiet and
warm. Heat applied to the feet and
abdomen often will relieve the pain.
A little peppermint water may be
given To aid in expelling the gases,
but nothing else should be given ex-
cept on the advice Of physician.
Paregofic and various pain BELIEVERS
should not be given as they may be
very injurious. Many deaths are at.
tributed to VARIOUS soothing syrups
which contain harmful drugs. After
the attack is over care should be taken
with the diet. At first give only lit
tie rice water or barley water.
In young babies, collie and diarrhoea
often are caused by giving sugar in
various forms. A tiny baby gets thirsty
the same as an older person. Milk
does not quench this thirst, so it
should be give,. u little warm water
several times day. Many mothers
are not content to let we'll enough
alone and put q little sugar in the wa.
ter. This FORMS gas and causes collie
and diarrhoea. In giving peppermint
water to young tables it Is not neces-
sary to add sugar. OF course the pep.
permint water should be very weak,
in the proportion of one or two drops
of the essence to a cup Of warm wa.
ter. The baby will take only about a
teaspoonful of this mixture in drop
doses. The majority of deaths from
summer diarrhoea might have been
prevented by little care with the
diet.

which is the crux of the entire matter
he must be able to get the mans

soaps of all kinds than any other man

knowledge and experience your boys
pay has steadily grown from the orig

route will gradually be enlarged &C.
cording to the needs of the firm and
his own peculiar ability. Some travel
ing men are more successful among
village merchants than in the large
cities, and vice versa.
From this point on there Is steady
advancement, as your boy grows in ex-
perience and ability, and he will be
getting acquainted with the other
goods handled by his firm so as to sell
everything on its list. AS he advances
his pay will increase until 1t
reaches and passes the general av.
erage of about $1,000 a year and ex-
penses.
