ART IN WARFARE.

Color Schemes Used to Deceive the
Eyes Of the Enemy.
Early In the great world war the
young painters In France formed what
they called the Battalion de la Camou-
de. battalion whose duties consist of
making up" guns. autos. shelters and
even whole landscapes to deceive the
enemy's eyes-the aeroplanes. They
impart to a munition depot the inno-
cent appearance Of a prairie. The 76's
under their hands take on the SEM
blance of old trees. Tree trunks and
old carts are TRANSPORTED by these
artists into formidable batteries on
which the hostile fire may spend itself.
They color the autos to resemble roads
or fields.

dung its source should be determined,
as this Is one of the first indications
Of indigestion. The amount Of milk
fed should be cut to one-half the usual
amount. and a dose Of one ounce of
castor oil in milk, followed by the for
malin treatment, Is advisable. The
fOrmalin treatment consists In giving
one tablespoonful of formalin solution,
made by adding one-half ounce Of for
malin to fifteen and one-half ounces of
water. In each pint of milk fed. The
amount Of milk fed may be gradually
brought back to normal after day or

means Of correcting a condition Of

An average loss Of $3.50 a head was

Methods Of feeding these heifers are

1t Is perhaps the Vatican that con

Italy, Rome would perhaps not be
spared, but a stray bomb on the vati-
can would trouble the consciences Of
the dual monarchy more than the
slaughter Of any number of innocent

spected.
