DISEASE OF HONEY BEES
European Foul Brood Found to Exist In FairfieId-Warning Sent By
 Government

The United States Department Of Agricu ture calls attention to the fact that European foul brood has been found to exist in FaiI field county. The department has no means of knowing how long the disease has existed in the region. but desires to no fly bee keepers of the trouble and to suggest that, if not already informed concern ing the disease, they inform them selves at once. Very frequently col onies Of bees are destroyed by disease and the loss is attributed by the bee keeper to some other cause. Farm CTS Bulletin No. 442, The Treatment of Bee Diseases, gives a description of the brood diseases and methods of treatment It will be sent free on re- quest to the Secretary of Agriculture, Washin-ton, D. c.
 Attention is so called to the fact that the brood diseases do not at all injure honey for human consumption so that there need be no fear on the part of purchasers of honey.

CHINESE FAMINE
PitifuI Stories of StarvatjOn-
 Novel Pans For Relief

It will doubtless surprise Americans to
 learn that in na any of the interior cit ies Of China are civic improvement
 associations whose Obefcts are similar
 to those of such organizations in th's
 country. The most en ightened and
 public spirited Chinese are banded to- gether in those associations for the
 purpose Of promoting education, San1~
 tation, ard the common good, and to suppress graft and other forms of po-
 liticai corruption All Of which sounds familiar to American ears.
 For the first time these organiza-
 tions of the Chinese ''best peoTIe' are to be actively enlisted in carrying out the famine relief measures planned by the relief committee at Shanghai. This is of especial interest in the United States because the relief funds now heinz rs iSed bv the Red Cross will be distributed through the Shanghai Com mittee. The famine relief fund will be largely used in employing the fam inc sufferers to reconstruct their own dykes and roads which have been de stroyed by floods. Thus the idle and earn a living while waiting for anoth- CT harvest and wiI1 at the same time he helping to restore their country to normal conditions. One of the most attending other famires has been the Pauperizing effect u"on the pOpula- ton of receiving support during pro Iouged periods of idleueSs. The plan now to be adopted promises to reduce this demoralizing result. MT. c. D. Jameson, the American Red Cross en- giueer who has recently traNeled ez- tensively throueh the districts which have suffered much from famines in ate years, reTorts that the people, finding crops usually a failure and re- lief certain, show natural inclination to abandon their lands and turn 10 5egeary. This tendency 1t is hoped now to cheek ty means of a system of relief based upon honest vo-k
 The present unsettled political con ditions in China make 1t impossible for the Chinese Government to con trfbu+e I+beraIy to the relief funds For this reason it becomes the more ways Ct-pa's frieTd, shall respond to the need generously.

Repeat these operations until all is done that may be to expel the contents of the S om- ach and bowels, and if the tubes are not entirely successful, give about six teaspoonfuls of Rochelle salts, or ten ounces of citrate of magnesia. Then give stimu ants, after the salts have operated.

 CLUB NOTE
 Dear Doctor:-
 year-old daughter has bronchitis. but the medicine that he gave us d~d her no good. She clears her throat con stantly. I do not think that her -IA ColL Ter LSdu nliTC nof, put IT is very annoying. Should I keep her from school? She goes because she wants to, and the school house is very close. It has been at least three months since we first noticed that something was wrong with her She has no discharge from either nostrils or throat. She has complained the last few days of headache.
 MRS. G. W. F.
 Try iii some way to get the school room properly ventilated, not o~Iy for her sake but for the sake of the bal ance of the pupils and the teacher.
 Every night until cured when put :fng her to bed place a cold compress around her throat and over that a dry flannel cloth. Pin them on se- curely with safety pins and have them on all night. In some cases stomach trouble extends up into the throat and causes a cons ant accumu ation Of mucous which creates a desire to clear the throat Do not allow her much sweets nor piecing between meals. If there are any recess lunches let it t,e of fruit, an apple or orange. If the headache continues have her eyes ex- amined.
