POSSESSION OF CANADA
ONE AIM OF GERMANY

Ottawa, ont, Jan. 1S.-James
Lougheed. government leader in the
senate. declared in a speech in the
upper house of parliament today that
Germany was known to desire pos
session of Canada as a prize of war
should she be victorious in the pres7
ent conflict. Some Canadians, he
said, could not yet realize that Can
ada was in as great jeopardy as
Great Britain or any of her allies.
Senator Lougheed asserted that
German spies had compiled and filed
in the archives of their government
more complete Information on the
natural and developed resources Of
Canada than was possessed even by
the dominion government. He ex-
pressed the belief that Germans liv-
ing in the United States would be
glad to aid in the capture of Canada.

Erysipelas.

This word is derived from two Greek
words that mean "red" and "skin." The
disease is sometimes called ST. AnthonY's
fire. That is because the most obvious
symptom OF erysipelas is an extreme red
ness and Inflammation OF the skin. Some
times erysipelss follows some wound or
injury; in other cases there is no apparent
break in the skin; but the microbes no
doubt gain access through some Cut or
scratch too small TO be noticed.
EYsipelas is very infectious. Those
who are reduced by certain disorders, by
Bright's disease. any form OF chronic
poisoning, exhaustion from overwork or
poor food. are especially likely TO be at
tackled but it is rare in extreme infancy,
and still more rare in old age.
1t generally attacks the face, and be-
gins with chill, which is often prolonged
and severe. There are also other symp-
toms Of an acute infection, such as head
ache, loss OF appetite. general feeling OF
illness, and sometimes vomiting.
The chill is followed by rise OF tenn
perahre. The glands Of the neck become
swollen and tender. Then the eruption
appears at the argle OF the nostril. or the
corner OF the el {, or round the ear, and
rapidly spreads from that point. The
skin becomes red and glistening, and The
swelling is sometimes so great that the
patient is not recognizable. Where the
tissues are loose, as round the eyes, there
may be much swelling without great pain;
but where they are tight, as in The scalp,
the pam is often severe.
ErySipelas does not generally menace
life. Most cases, if there are no compIi-
cations, have tendency TO improve after
few days. The patient should be isola-
ted and treated with strict antiseptic
cleanliness. There are no specifics tor
the disease, but many things have been
found Of fservice in ameliorating the symp-
toms, especially applications that cool
the inflamed skin. Some physicians
'fence in" the trouble by painting the
edges OF The eruption with collodion to
prevent its spreading.
