(By e. T. BAKER, Veterinarian, Idaho

Navel i'll, often called "joint-ill" or
"foal lameness," is disease of young
animals, occurring soon after birth,
and usually terminating in death
1t is a form of blood poison enter
ing through the unhealed navel The
first symptoms of the disease noted
are swollen joints, fever, lameness and
later, assesses and diarrhoea, result
ing In death.
Colts and calves are the principal
victims, although all young may be-
come affected.
The treatment is principally proven
ton. Do not turn the mare about to
foal in an old filthy box stall, or in a
stall where the disease has occurred.
Remember it is highly contagious. Dis
infect the barn thoroughly. In warm
weather, turn the pregnant mares or

officer hearing recitation: Don't let

bench behind him he put his generaPs
hat, crowned with it's bush of long

green plumes, then slyly stretched his
hand out and plucked one. Emboldened
by success, he took four and would
have taken the rest had he not
touched his emperofs arm in the
process.
What are you doing that for?"
asked Franz Josef, viewing the de-

THE BEST TREATMENT FOR
ITCHING SCALPS, DANDRUFF
AND FALLING HAIR

To allay itching and irritation Of the
scalp, prevent dry, thin and falling
hair, remove crusts. scales and dam
druff, and promote the growth and
beauty of the hair, the following spe-
cial treatment is most effective, agree
able and economical. On retiring,
comb the hair out straight all around,
then begin at the side and make a
parting, gently rubbing Cuticura ONT
ment into the parting with a bit of
soft flannel held over the end Of the
finger. Anoint additional partings
about half an inch apart until the
whole scalp has been treated, the pur-
pose being to get the Cuticura ONT
ment on the scalp skin rather than on
the hair. 1t is well to place light
covering over the hair to protect the
pillow from possible stain. The next
morning, shampoo with Cuticura Soap
and hot water Shampoos alone may
be used as often as agreeable, but
once or twice month is generally
sufficient for this special treatment
for women's hair.
