Buying Horses In America

England has divided this country
into four areas for the procurement of
horses. Four firms have been commls-
stoned to do the buying, and the prices
paid by England are higher than those
paid by the French or Italians. A
contract has been made with the
South Omaha Horse and Niue Com
pany for 500 horses week, and at
the same point the French Govern
ment has just placed a 81 900 900 Or
der which requires that at least 5000
of the horses must be delivered with
in 80 days. Up to date South Omaha
has sent $4,000,000 worth OF horses
to the Allies. and it is expected that
the business will be doubled within
the next twelve months. Arrange
ments are also being perfected for the
purchase of G000 horses a month at
Des Moines. Orders for horses and
mules began to come in one month
after the outbreak Of the European
war, and for the period Sentember'
1914, to June, 1915 we eXnorted them
to the value of S63 3,8l6-500 compared
with 2n expectation of less than S3,-
600 900 for the similar period 1916
1914. Exports of mules for the l9ll-
1915 period were valued at $12, ZOO ,OO0
compared with $580,000 for the SINH
lar period 1913-1914. The average
life of horse in the European war ls
estimated as eight days.

MANY BUFFETS
SCATTERED ALONG
RAILROAD LINES
British Started This Highly
Successful Method of Re-
freshing Soldiers

London, Feb. 11.-(Correspondence
of the Associated Press)-The history
of the soldiers refreshment buffet in
Victoria station, London. is in a
small way the history of British effort
in the war. The buffet began in a
loose and unorganized fashion, more
or less helpless from lack of prece-
dent, and gradually developed until
it now represents high efficiency back
ed by a steady determination to see
the thing out to the end.
All the early organizations have
concentrated their efforts in q single
management which dispenses $3.50
worth of tea. coffee, cocoa. sandwiches,
bread and butter and cake weekly, all
supplied by private donations. Branch
buffets are maintained at the stations
of less military Importance, at an
additional expense, and the whole ma
chinery runs like clock work. 1t is
the same sort of transformation that
has gone on in every department of
the British government, from the
raising of recruits to the making of
munitions.
Victoria station is a great barnlike
railway terminal in the center of the
metropolitan area. It's lines feed
many important southern and south
eastern ports, such as Portsmouth,
Southampton, Brighton, Folkstone and
Dover. There the troop trains arrive
at night with their loads of men on
furlough from the trenches, and there
the returning trains leave every morn
ing to carry back those whose week
of home and liberty has expired. Be
tween times, there is a constant stream
of soldiers arriving from or returning

Simple Home Treatment That
Acts Almost Like Magic

In any home where a child has a
tendency to Group, bottle of Hyomei
pronounce it High-o-me) should be
kept constantly on hand.
A sudden attack of Group with diff
ficult breathing and extreme distress
is apt to come on at any time.
The course to be pursued is plain.
Send for your doctor at once, and in
the meantime drop 80 drops of Hyomei
into a bowl of boiling water, and hold
the child's head over it, covered with
towel or cloth, so that only the air
filled with Hyomei vapor is breathed.
This method of treatment has saved
many a child's life, and mothers of
croupy children should see to it that
Hyomei is always on hand. Full in
structions for prompt relief of Group
is in each package.
"T have used Booths Hyomei for

to the great training camps at Alder

to the great training camps at Alder
shot and other points.
An average of about 1000 soldiers
daily are fed at Victoria station.
Eighty women volunteer workers un-
der the direction of Mrs. Kenward
Matthews stand siX-hour shifts day
and night, for it is in the early morn
ing period that hot refreshments are
most needed and most appreciated by
the soldiers.
The most exciting time of the day
at Victoria is the hour of the troop
trains. Their arrival is preceded by
number of kilograms. The first
message approNimates the time Of ar
rival on news of the sailing of the
channel boat. This is corrected when
the boat arrives in the English port
again when the train starts on it's
journey and finally when on the last
lap to London on a clear track. Often
there are hours of difference between
the first and last kilograms, and a
train due to arrive at 8 p. IN. will
pull in nearer 10 o'clock.
One of the first signs of the COM
ing of the troops is the gathering of
the home guards. A detail of sixty of
these men, most of them quite old
and all ineligible for the army, gather
at the station at i'm the afternoon.
The guards are distinguished from
the soldiers by green uniforms and
red armlets. They make themselves
useful by answering questions, putting
the soldiers on the right buses and in
protecting them from outsiders who
invest the platform. official money
changers who give the men the bene-
fit of the best rate of exchanges, open
up their booths. Friends, relatives,
and idlers also begin to collect out
side the gates to watch the troops pass
by.
When the time for the arrival of the
first section is accurately known, Mrs.
Matthews, or her quartermaster, Miss
Perry, have tables set up on the plat
form. There are three of these tables,
each covered with q strip of oilcloth.
Dishpans filled with sandwiches and
cake are placed on the tables and
great urns full of tea. Vases of flow
ers also grace the tables. It is curious
what a home touch a few flowers
give. They show, Furthermore, that
there is a real welcome in the pans
and urns.
