DIET FOR THE WAR HORSES
Quantity Of Oats 10 Restricted to Make
the German Supply
Go Further.

The German government has re
stricted the quantity Of oats which
may be given to horse to 21a to 31a
pounds daily, and German horse own
ers hre afraid that this restriction will
in1urSously affect the health and use
fulness Of their animals In q recent
issue Of the Berlin Lokal Anzeiger,
Doctor Klinger, city veterinary. shows
that these fears are groundless. His
experiments, carried on during many
years with large numbers Of horses,
convinced him that maize forms a
very satisfactory substitute for oats
At present, however, maize Is as
scarce as oats, so that some other sub
stitute must be found. The most OBJ
vious one is potatoes, which are very
abundant and have been stored in
great quantities by all German com
munities.
Potatoes differ from maize, chiefly
in containing little less starch and
considerably less digestible albumen
The deficiency In starch can be met by
increasing the ration, and the def.
cheney in albumen can be compensated
by adding small quantity of some
food that is rich In albumen.

cL0GGED UP BY SEDIMENT
Flow Of Water In City Mains Restrict
ed by Sedimentation and Incrusta-
ton Taking Place Within.

It has only recently been observed
that the efficiency of the flow of water
in city's main is very much restrict
ed by the sedimentation which takes
place In them. Because of the slow
ness with which these deposits occur,
1t is not readily noticeable, but the diff
ference is quickly discernible by max.
ing note of the character of the stream
issuing therefrom before and after
cleaning. In the case Of an eight-inch
main In Camden, N j., the capacity was
found to have been cut down to less
than one-quarter Another illustration
may be derived from the experience
OF Belle PLANE, Ia. Here a cast iron
water pipe nearly a mile long and six
inches in diameter had a capacity
when clean of 335 gallons a minute,
with pressure of 60 pounds. This
pipe became so clogged that a press
ure OF 125 pounds was necessary in or.
der to deliver 24S gallons minute
There are several mechanical means
of accomplishing this task. One con-
sists Of nine-foot device which is
placed in the pipe and sent along by
pressure behind it, and as it moves the
deposit Is cut by the many revolving
knives of which 1t is made. A flow of
water is maintained and the released
material is washed away as it is de-
tached

Umbrellas constitute one Of the

During the year ended March 81

umbrella fittings to the value Of ap

Of this being s1,055,000 worth of fit

There was a considerable increase IL
imports over the preceding year, wher
the total number imported was 1856,

DOCTORS BILL NOT DREADED

PhysIcians' Rates.

According to q report from United
States Consul Frank Deedmeyer, sta
toned at Prague, one may at least be
Ill In Austria and not dread the ex-
orbitant doctors bill that follows:
The city of Prague, with a popula-
ton Of about 100000, has only about
800 physicians, or one for every 1900
persons. A doctor charges for a day
time call In the middle class family
only so cents. or ten cents more than
II the patient calls on him in his Of
flee. For night call the doctor re-
ceives from $1.20 to 50. according to
the distance. Only professors at the
clinics Of the two local universities
charge more. receiving from two to
four dollars for house call and two
dollars for an Office visit. As in this
country. the physicians give only pre-
scriptions.
AT most of the hospitals under the
control Of the Roman Catholic associa-
tion." continues Mr.. Deedmeyer, treat.
ment and care are entirely free. Nurses
at the hospitals are paid 80 cents a
day for the first year, with an annual
increase Of 20 cents a month; at sani-
tariums. from six to eight dollars a
week; at private houses, from eighty
cents to one dollar day, board being
always included for all nurses.
About 100 dentists practice in this
city. The average charges are: Draw.
ing one tooth, 40 cents; cement filling,
so cents to 81; amalgam filling. 80
cents to 81. etc.
1.-THE annual incomes of these pro.
fessional men are estimated as fol.
lows: Head professors in charge OF
clinics, salary paid by the government,
$1.400 to $500. and $1,000 to $1,000
from private practice; other profess
sors at clinics, salary paid by the gov.
