Chilblain is a secondary effect of
cold. 1t usually appears as local
congestion upon the toes, the ears,
the fingers or nose. Now and then it
inflames and ulcerates.
A chilblajr is likely to become con
Gested upon taking exercise or upon
approaching fire. When congested,
it itches, tingles and stings.
When chllblain affects the toes
large shoes and wooden stockings
should be worn. Tight Garters shoulu

A sufferer from chilblain should take
regular outdoor exercise and should

Dust plants are micro-organisms.
There are large numbers of minute or
ganisms so small that they cannot be
seen by the naked eye but require the
aid of powerful microscope to show
their presence. Various names have
been given to these minute living bod
les, such as germs" and microbes"
Bacteria are carried on particles OF
dust, in liquids. and on the surface of
fruits and vegetables as well as other
articles of food exposed in the mar
ket. They may possibly find their
way into the house by means of drains,
and they are carried by insects. Nor
mally, they are found in the air. in
the SOIL in water, in food, in the mouth
and the digestive tract, on the skin,
under the nails, in the hair, in the

scendants.
Mods are also micro-organisms. A
colony Of mold organisms growing on

Experts of the bureau Of crop estimates
in calculating this years theoretical wheat
surplus have placed the consumption at
10 per cent less than the normal of So
bushels, as this years conditions resemble
those of 1915, when the apparent per
capita consumption was about AIS bush
els. For the estimated population Of the
country-103. 635 900 people-the require
ment on that basis is 494.830.000 BUSH
els. Seed requirements they estimate at
S7,27l,000 bushels.
This years wheat crop. from the pre-
liminary estimates, is 659.797, 900 bush
els, and the total requirements of the
United States are placed at 582, l01, 900
bushels, leaving 77,696.000 bushels sur
plus.
Food administration officials figure the
allied countries will have a deficiency of
more than 400.000,000 bushels of wheat,
basing their estimate on normal require
ments. They are isolated from those mar
kets other than Canada and the United
States on which they were accustomed to
rely before the war.
The Russian supply cannot be got out
and the Bulgarian and Roumanian sup
plies are in the hands Of the Teutons.
Although Great Britain. France and Italy
are vigorously administering and econo-
MIXING their food, the situation in wheat.
according to the food administration, is
one Of great difficulty and concern.
Canada, figures available here show. will
have a possible surplus of 120.000.000
bushels of wheat and that added to the
surplus Of the United States will make
less than 20O,000,00O bushels.
