SAYS INDINs NEED IS CREDIT
FinancIer Practically Makes Claim
That Britain Has Neglected
Her Great Dependency.

"Credit is India's missing link,
and until the link is fitted India will
remain low IN the scale Of civiliza-
tion," said Sir Daniel Mackinnon
Hamilton, in a paper read at p meet
ing Of the East India association at
Caxton hall, Westminster, recently.
He referred to the money lent last
year to the colonies and Dependent
cies and foreign countries by the
London money market. 1t showed,
he said, that India was not getting
her fair share of capital. For seven
months, January to July, 1914, Cam
ada borrowed $175,000,000 from the
outside world, most of it from Lon
don. India, he supposed, borrowed
about $15,0O0,0OO in the same time.
The old Scottish banking system ap-
piled by the state was what India
wanted. 1t set men to work for
themselves and the state, without
waiting for gold and silver. 1t de-
veloped production as well as trade.
1t embodied the cooperative prin-
ciple. Men borrowed on the security
of their friends. What he would sug-
gest was that the government should
push on as fast as possible with the
development Of the cooperative vii
lage societies, and trust the societies
which were all under the supervision
of the government. England had
bank agency for every 5000 of her
people. India has no bank for $50,
100000 of hers.

Eieven-Year-oId BOY Has Marrow Es.
cape From Death When Attacked
by Savage Brutes.

Jack Craig, eleven years old, son
Of Fred Craig Of Fox, Alaska, was
saved in the nick Of time from being
bitten to death in a thrilling battle
with trail dogs recently.
Three large dogs, half wolf and
half Malamute, attacked Jack within
a quarter of mile of the village. He
fought off the big brutes while he
called for help.
"John the Finn" a local trapper,
heard his calls and saw the battle
from a distance of about 5000 feet.
He ran from his rabbit traps across
the snow. When he lifted the boy,
who had thrown himself face down.
ward to escape the dogs, the big ami
mails jumped on the man, and for a
time the trapper had to fight. This
second battle ended only by the
timely arrival of a crowd of men
who ran out from Fox, bringing With
them a gun.
The boys clothes were torn to
shreds, and on his scalp alone Fl
marks were counted by the physician
who was summoned from Fairbanks.
The dogs are handsome specimens.
They belong in Fairbanks and are
usually kept shut up, but it is
thought that when let out they wan
dered out along the trails in search
of rabbits From them they must
have gotten their lust for blood.

Good Work of Humble Worm.

Worms are great promoters of vege-
tation by boring, perforating and loos-
ening the soil and rendering it per.
vious to rains and the fibers of plants
by drawing straws and stalks of leaves
and twigs into it, and. most of all, by
throwing up such infinite numbers Of
Jumps of earth called wormcasts,
which form fine manure for grain
and grass. The earth without worms
would soon become cold, hard, void Of
fermentation and consequently sterile.
This has occurred in many cases
where the worms have been either ac-
cidentally or Intentionally destroyed.
and the fertility of the soil thus lost
has only been restored when the
worms had again collected and re-
sumed their fertilizing work.

Electricity on the Farm,

The use of electricity on the Amer
lean farm is growing. The time will
come, say electrical experts, when the
farmer will consider it a necessity.
The introduction Of tungsten lamps is
doing much to advance the use of this
power on the farm. 1t is possible for
the farmer with a small plant, driven
either by a gasoline engine or by
damming a small stream, to obtain
sufficient current to light his house and
barn with this economical type of in
candescent lamp. Central generating
stations for farming districts to take
the place of the small individual plants
now being installed-that is what cleo.
tricians see in the future.

DANGER FROM COMMON COLD
Harvard Professor Asserts II 10 High,
Infectious, and Urges Need
Of Precautions.

A Harvard professor has arraigned
the common cold in severe terms; II
is infectious and people are asked to
take precautions against its spread.
While persons suffering from ordi-
nary colds cannot, of course, be $50
lated, they should take measures
which will not make them common
carriers of the disease. What the pa
tent should do, in his own interest
as well as that of others, is to stay
at home for day OF two-preferably
in bed. Better than all medicines II
the crest cure" 1t prevents the dis
ease from dragging along and turn
ing into malignant forms. At the
season Of the year when colds are sc
easily contracted the following con
else advice is given by the Harvard
authority to those who would remain
we'll: keep out of the way of sneez
ers and coughers; don't handle then
or let them handle you, for a shake
of the hand, from one who recently
coughed or sneezed into his hand
