Dispatches from London ~ tell US
that two little girls while on thel1
way to Sunday school yesterday were
killed by shrapnell cast from sea-
planes by German raiders.
It is said that angels watch over
little children and ward off many
serious, if not fatal accidents which
they are liable to meet through
thoughtlesness. This, however, is
not always the case, as is shown by
the above said incident in connection
with the present war. The Great
Teacher, we are told, took little ones
in his arms and blessed them, saying
of such is the kingdom of heaven.
The little English girls, walking IN
nocently toward Sunday school HAD
mo idea of danger. They were little
sisters and were proceeding several
yards apart. Their mother, unmind-
full of their terrible fate, was later
attracted by number of people NOV
ing toward the home from which the
children had but short time before
emerged. They bore the manglcd
remains of the dear ones she had
dressed and sent to Sunday school.
The Israelites, while slaves in
Babylon, uttered the following plain
tive strains: 90, daughter of Babylon,
who art to be destroyed Cor made
bare); happy shall he be that reward
ed thee as thou hast served us. Happy
shall he be that taketh and dasheth
thy little ones against the stones"
There is little that can be added
to such pictures, except the repeti-
tion of an observation of the ancients,
"That which we do to others, others
will do unto u.s..

ton Memorial Hospital after having
| been taken there by policemen.
Fry boarded a car presumably to
20 home. The presumption is that he
was stricken on the car and other
passengers failed to notice his condi-
ton. The i'll man was removed from
the car and placed on the roadside,
where he collapsed. At the hospital it
developed that Fry had suffered an
apopletic stroke.
The above should prove an admoni-
ton to all persons employed on cars
OF other modes of transportation.
Every person who acts strangely is
not drunk although that seems to be
the first cause assumed when a pas
senger shows, he|is3 unable&to take care
of himself. ManyS instances similar
to the above could be cited to show
the inexcusable blunders made at
times by men in charge of cars OIL
boats. 1t will suffice to allude to one
which took place about a quarter OF
a century ago at the ferry house in
Washington at time when a line OF
steamers was operated between the
capital city and Alexandria. A mid
dlc-aged woman came to Alexandria
early in the day on visit to rela-
tivcs. She boarded a steamer late in
ne evening for home and when she
left the boat in Washington she be-
came ill and was barely able to reach
the sitting room at the ferry wharf
where she collapsed. The ferry opera
lives supposed she was drunk and
telephoned for police wagon to take
her away. The vehicle arrived and
the ill woman who had been a suf-
fercr from heart disease for years,
died while being hurried from the
ferry wharf. The deceased had been
u lifelong member of church, and
did not know the taste of liquor.

England to terms very quickly is no

1t all goes to show what most OF

have bearing on the final result, has
been an absolute failure. Unless it
proves vastly more effective than 1t

indications that it Wilt will not

FORTUNES IN
SCHOOL BOOKS.

With the recent discussion as to
the cost of school; books in the state
of Virginia, it is of some interest
to note that there are at least for
tunes in them to publishers who know
how to "get them en- the lists"
Forty years ago the CHM estab-

books, and the recent death of Mr..
CHM reveals the fact that he left a
large fortune. An exchange says:

LEGATION of school books deserves a
certain attention. 1t indicates, for
one thing, that publishers profit do
not depend alone on the production OF
ficional best sellers. The popular
novel which sells in the hundreds OF
thousands is. of course, a prize for
the publishers no less than the au-
thor. Text books lack the element OF
sensational publicity, but their sub.
stantial value as dividend payers is
evidenced by the CHM fortune. 3"

PINK EYE QUITE INFECTIOUS
Disease Travels Through Herd of Cat
tie Rapidly, Apparently Irre-
spective of Age.

(By w. p. SHULER, Department of
Veterinary Medicine, Oklahoma A. and
NJ. College, Stillwater)
The true cause of pink eye in cattle
is unknown. Its infectiOuSncsS cannot
be doubted. 1t travels through herd
rapidly, apparently irrespective of the
age of the animals. The disease runs
its course in eight or twelve days and
may result in Il satisfactory recovery
or the animal may be partially or to-
tally blind in one or both eyes as II
result of the attack. Apparently ami
mails do not become immune to this
disease. 1t is manifest by watery
appearance of the eye, which later be-
comes more or less pruricnt and the
cy"lidS become gummed together. This
attracts flies and is very unSightly
thing, as well us torture to the af-
fccted animal. The treatment should
be aS follows:
Srgrcgate the affected animals by
putting them il possible in II shady
pen. Keep an abundant supply of
pure. cool drinking water before them,
and treat the eyes twice Il day rs fol-
lows: First wash off the lids and eye
IaShcS with warm water and CASTLE
soap, then open the eye by catching
up the upper lid with the thumb and
first finger and rolling it back over the
second finger. BY means of Il medicine
drupprr or cotton Swub, wash the eye
out with the following solution:
pyoktanin ten grains, boric acid
four drains, lead acetate one dram.
water sufficient to make eight ounces.

OVERCOMING GARLIC IN MILK
No Practical Method for Use on Dairy
Farms-keep Cows Off Garlicky
Pastures Is Best.

What Is the hest way to remove
the garlic taste in milk? This qucs-
ton has been asked.
Though large milk establishments
have mechanical processes for taking
odors out of milk and cream by
means of an air blast, there is no
practical method for use on dairy
farms. An aeratOr would perhaps
be of some slight advantage, but pre-
yention is the best cure. Keeping the
COWS off gnrlicky pastures several
hours before milking Is the most ef-
fective means of overcoming the trou-
BILE.
One of the best ways to kill wild
garlic in pastures is to turn in sheep.
They like the tops, and in few years
the garlic will disappear.
