Fractures in Laurentian Rock.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 10.-News of
the earthquake shocks felt in New
York and nearby States this after
noon was received with much interest
by scientists in the weather bureau.
the Smithsonian institute and at Johns
Hopkins university, in Baltimore, Au-
thorities. although not willing to ven-
ture detailed explanations, differed in
their views as to the origin of the
shocks.
Professor Henry Fielding Reid. of
Johns Hopkins, one of the leading au-
thorities of the country on seismo-
graphy believed the shock felt in
New York State originated some
where in Pennsylvania, and extended
northward.
Shocks were heaviest in the south
ern counties and extended with vary
ing degrees of severity as far north as
Montreal. Canada.
Professor Reid made this statement
over the long distance telephone:
The shocks probably resulted
from fractures in the I.aurentian rock
foundation of the territory which was
disturbed. Earthquakes in this ter
ritory have occurred with comparative
frequency, but none of them have been
very strong The last shock which l
recall was in April 1913, in the st.
Lawrence valley. This was felt all
over Northern New York. There have
been other shocks that apparently
originated along the valley of Lake
Champlain. l have seen records also
Of shocks felt around New York city,
II know no reason to expect an
early repetition of the disturbance"

Some breeders are bold enough to

castration is in rupture.
So long as the testicles are in the
purse, and their cords are occupying
to great extent the orifices in the
belly the obtrusion into the scrotum
of small knuckle of intestine may
be overlooked unless a very careful
examination is made; indeed it may
then escape the intending operators
notice, if the colt has been well fast
ened and placed upon his back, re-
naming there for a minute or two, as
during this time the small portion of
gut will often slip back into the abdo-
men,
For this, among other reasons, an
old hand will prefer to have the ami
NAL on his side while making an ex-
animation. Some will squeeze the
larynx to make the animal cough by
way of test If another person does

adults, the castrator's fingers upon
the cords of the testicles will tell him
of bulge and he will then exercise
special precautions.
1t is far better to let the colt get up
again and sacrifice the time than to
proceed without all necessary appli-
ances. Ruptured colts should never
be entrusted to gelders without ana
tomical knowledge, or not possessing
reputation for operating upon such
cases.
The animal should be prepared by
long fasting, placed upon his back,

The veterinary surgeon may choose
to put in two or more stitches of solu-
BILE material across the orifice now no

If his hands and all things used by
him have been rendered antiseptic
this will probably be the best plan.

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 dan
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 Oint-
ment into the parting with 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 Oint-
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 a month is generally
sufficient for this special treatment
for women's hair.

GOOD TREATMENT
OF ANIMAL WOUNDS
Few Injuries Are Materially Bene-
fitted Unless Treated by
Professionals.
BY DR.. M. H. REYNOLDS, v. S.

Various preparations of turpentine,
alcohol, vinegar, carbolic acid, irritat-
ing oils, and even mineral acids are
frequently used in the treatment of
animal wounds and then because the
patient recovers in spite of barbarous
treatment, people enormously con-
clude that the medicine cured
Bleeding can usually be checked
quite easily. If the blood is from
large number of small vessels,
hemorrhage can be checked and final
ly stopped by the means of ice and
by very hot or very cold water, or
the wound may be packed in clean
cotton or oakum and tightly bandaged.
In case large blood vessel is sew
cred the artery may be secured by
means of small forceps or even a hook
made by bending pin or piece of
wire.
In some cases hemorrhage can be
easily controlled by tight bandage
placed above or below the wound. II
the. blood flows in a steady stream
the bandage should be on the side
farthest from the heart.
II it flows in jets the bandage
should be tied between the wound
and the heart.
Comparatively few wounds are ma
terially benefited by sewing, band
aging or washing except in profes-
sion hands.
If the wound is made lengthwise of
the muscle there may be considerable
advantage in holding the sides to-
gether by sewing. No special form
of needle or thread is necessary ex-
cept that both should be clean and the
latter should be OF a reasonable size.
A darning needle and ordinary cotton
thread will do very well in an emer-
gency.
If the wound is made across the
muscle and gapes widely it is usually
unwise to sew, for the stitches will
cut out in few days and make the
scar murh worse than if it had been

NOT A MIRACLE
Just Plain Cause and Effect.

There are some quite remarkable
things happening every day, which
seem almost miraculous.
Some persons would not believe that
a man could suffer from coffee drink
ing so severely as to cause spells of
Inconsistencies. And to find relief in
changing from coffee to Postum is
we'll worth recording.
Il used to be great coffee drinker,
SO much so that it was killing me by
inches. My heart became so weak
would fall and lie unconscious for an
hour at time.
my friends, and even the doctor,
told me it was drinking coffee that
caused the trouble. l would not be-
lieve 1t, and still drank coffee until
could not leave my room.
Then my doctor, who drinks Pos
tum himself. persuaded me to stop cof-
fee and try Postum. After much hesi-
tation / concluded to try it. That was
eight months ago. Since then / have
had but few of those spells. none for
more than four months.
