TO .IN0CULATE BRITISH

to make a special trip to the Aus

just returned with several bottles

Cholera has so far been confined

blame on the Cossaeks Of the Don.
But the Russians say that 1t Travelled
into Austria from Turkey by way of
Rumania and Bulgaria. The present
epidemic is less virulent than in any
previous campaign, and its death
rate, which never exceeded 80 per
cent at worst, has been reduced by
the cold weather. The fear exists,
however, that the Germans in their
rapid moving Of troops from the
southern to the northern part of the

the disease into Poland, and inter-
change of troops with the west will
bring il into Flanders. II is against

is loss OF ability to enjoy youthful
things. We both liked children, en-
joyed being with them, and In our
village the young people invited us to
their dances and parties as II we were

when one evening we admitted to
each other that we no longer cared
for these things, but preferred re-

pipe and slippers and book.
During the first year that my wife
realized she was passing from middle

unpleasantness in our married rela-

women" AS a gentle warning to fell

think that she ever really thought me

The third type OF animal marriage
Is that common among wild geese,
pigeons and possibly owls. The union
lasts through life. and IL one of the
pair dies the other never seeks a sec

until death.
The fourth type of animal marriage
is the nearest approach TO the ideal
married life, and, curiously enough.
Is found most commonly among
wolves. Wolves marry for life, and
only the death of one leaves the other
free to marry again. Furthermore,
there is even genuine display of
chivalry and affection between such
animals. ~

The great objection to polygamy in

the survivors.

STOVES TOR SOLDIERS.

Each stove measures about five by
five by one inch and Is covered on the
outside with silk, within is placed a

which glows and burns for from six
to efgh hours distributing its warmth
evenly. The stove is wrapped I'm a

fact that American labor Is to pro-

the British people eventually will be

In the Manchester Guardian, Just

chester in which Lord Moulton put
his finger upon what must have been
a rather sore spot for his fellow

England had been dependent upon
Germany every year for ten million
dollars worth OF aniline dyes, Lord
Moulton declared that certain ma
tional characteristics stood In the
way OF lcngland's progress. Here are
some OF his views;

There is the same distaste in the
United states for concentrated appli-
cation that WAS pointed out as char
aeteristlc Of the English people But
there Is another characteristic Of the
Briton that does not apply TO the
United States, The lirlton is suspicious
of anything new. He dslikcs any

new kind of journalism, chemical
discovery or an improved piece OF

ANIMAL MARRIAGES.

Virtually every form OF marriage
