Lead Or Paint
Poisoning

Dr.. H. J. Frederick, head Of the
Veterinary Science Department Of
the Utah Agricultural College is au-
thority for the following article:
Many animals, principally cattle.
are lost each year as a result Of
leaving paint cans or buckets around
the corrals or in places where cattle
are kept. Again, where animals
have access to garbage or refuse
dumps they often find empty paint
receptacles and often get fatally pois-
oned. Old paint buckets or cans or
scrapings Of white, yellow or red
lead-in fact lead of any form-that
has been left over from painting is
thrown out with the garbage or the
manure where 1t will last for years.
and finally animals will find it and
lick 1t thus causing their death. The
sweet taste Of some of the compounds
seem to offer an attraction to ami
mails.
There are two kinds of lead pois-
oning-the acute and the chronic.
The greater the amount absorbed the
more acute will be the symptoms,
whereas in the chronic form some
times very little has been absorbed
and animals may recover.
symptoms Of Lead Poisoning
There is shortening of breath,
paralysis OF the extremities, and Of
ten Of the tongue, so that the animal
is unable to swallow, and where 1t
runs a chronic course blue line is
found on the gums along the teeth.
They may show blindness, stupor,
coma, commissions, or delirious ex-
element, fits occurring at intervals,

first constipated and may later be
affected with diarrhoea, the feces
containing pieces Of mucus Of n
black, fetid color. There Is usually
profuse salvation (slobbering) and
muscular cramps. In cases there is

Treatment for Lead Poisoning
In the treatment of lead poisoning
the first object Is to prevent further
solution Of lead In the stomach and
intestines and to carry it Off. Sulph-

other forms Of sulphate may form an

time and under the circumstances

ment for the protection Of American
ideals and the preservation of their
integrity.
Mr.. Wilson typifies the vast citi-
2enship before which he lays the
case Of this country. He is himself
an advocate OF honorable peace; he
is not one of those who "see red
when all the world seems to run with

enced and determined by the provi-
sions of treaty concluded by the
United States with Prussia nearly a
century ago. Prussia was then an
independent state, under its own
monarch, and only within less than
half a century has the kingdom be-
come a part OF the German empire
with its king as German Kaiser. But
the old treaty, though almost forgot
ten, remained in force, and compli-
ance with its terms on our part has
resulted to Germany's material ad-
vantage.
The comforting feature Of such an
incident is that 1t testifes to the
harmony and tranquility that have
characterized the relations Of the two
governments. At the same time It
suggests that once in while there
should be a thorough house cleaning
of the state department, and that
from the musty vaults there should
be extracted the ever accommodating

ARCHIVES NEED
OVERLAPPING

An almost amusing feature of the
present war-if in such cataclysm
anything can be found amusing-is
the necessity which has arisen for
rummaging in the national archives,
and bringing forth to the light Of day
aforementioned and yet not inocuous
old treaties, agreements and stipula-
tons. Like certain obsolete laws
which have slumbered for genera
tions in the statute books OF some
OF the earlier commonwealth, many
Of these dusty covered documents
have passed quite out OF public mem
DRY, and when brought to notice they
are found to be full of vexations and
absurdedly unsuited to enforcement
under present day conditions. Yet
they have not been repealed or sup
erceded and when invoked they must
be respected.
Recent illustration OF this fact Is
found In the case of the steamer APP
pan. brought into a United States
port by German prize crew. The
course OF this government In the case
has had to be In large degree infiu.

THE DECLINE OF
VOLUNTEER WORK

A woman prominent in philanthro-
pics in another city was speaking the
other day OF the difficulty of getting
volunteer workers. Years ago there
seemed to be lot of young men who
could be secured to visit the sick
and read to them, teach in mission
Sunday Schools etc. Today she finds
II almost impossible to get any such
workers.
Probably the type of women who
used to do this work are now engag-
ed in professional employment. For
merly these girls remained in their
homes, helped about the houscwork
and had much leisure time. They
were available for all sorts of phil
anthropies. Now they need all their
free time for rest and recreation.
Thus the world gets on more
commercialized basis. The unnar'
ried girls who used to be visiting the
sick is now pounding typewriter
But the family that has one or
more girls having a regular income
should be in easier financial circum-
stances. The girl having become
self supporting. the man of the fam
i,y is relieved from one drain on his
income. Some of this will be absorb
ed by the modern cost of living but
not all.
The man who Is relieved from the
support OF his daughters should re-
member that years ago the women
used to carry on without ray many
charities and philanthropics. Now
much of this work has to be paid for.
The work of women has added new
wealth TO the community, some OF
which should be returned to the phi
lanthropies which women used to
support so generously. Also pecu-
liar responsibility rests on people of
both sexes who have ample support
without taking any business or pro-
fessional position. The number of
volunteer workers is too few today
and charity is field offering MANY
satisfactions to men and women OF
wealth.

ANOTHER COST OF
LIVING ADVANCE

The woes of the householder multi
ply. One advance in cost Is followed
by another. One of the latest is the
announcement that wallpaper, due to
scarcity Of German dyes, has gone
up in price from 25 to 30 per cent.
The dark papers have advanced the
most, while the lighter styles are not
so much affected.
The time has gone by. however,
when the cost Of wall paper was the
principal item in interior decoration.
Labor has gone up so much Of rec
ent years that an advance in the cost
of the paper has become secondary
item.
This added expense Of interior rem
ovation is keenly felt by the house
wife. Occasional applications Of
clean new paper add greatly to the
attractiveness of a home. These are
days OF dirt and dust and smoke, and
wall paper does not wear clean the
way 1t used to. The papers that our
grandfathers put on would often last
a great many years, and seem fresh
and neat even then. Today every
whirling automobile sends its depos.
It OF dirt, every railroad train or fac
tory chimney has its contribution Of
SCOT. Light colored papers will look
dingy in a very few years.
This item Of household expense can
be much kept down by using dark
colored papers, though as noted
above these are the most expensive
now. But 1t costs no more for the
paste brush artist who puts them on.
Many housewives object to dark pa
pers, On the ground, that they make
rooms look smaller, and II house Is
not well lighted they diffuse an at
mosphere of gloom. But they are
the only shades that can be depend
ed upon to wear in these times.
In spite OF these extra costs the
paper hangers keep busy most of the
time. As in all other departments
OF domestic life, the people find the
price for 1t somehow. The landlord
charges 1t up with his rent, and the
public growls and pays the bill.

EURoPE's SHORT
SUGAR BEET CROP

DR.. H. c. Prinsen Geerligs, the
well known Dutch sugar expert COM
menting early in December On the
1915 sugar production of the various
beet countries of Europe said
1.-THE beet sugar crop is over and
the meagerest European sugar out
turn Of the last decades is in the
ware houses. Probably the estim
ates made for the production in most
countries have not been attained as
the tonnage returns as received left
must to be desired, perhaps as a
consequence Of the poor tillage and
fertilization in 1915, but perhaps also
and to the strongest degree, owing
to the farmers utilizing much of the
crop as fodder for the cattle"

advocated It and defended Il. It was
