 In its campaign against the barber ry the department has been able to report gratifying results. Though the barberry is more generally plant ed in the older parts of the country, 1r New England and the Eastern states, the campaign is being prose- cuted more vigorously in the Central and Northwestern states, where the grain acreage is infinitely larger and the damage from rust consequently greater in proportion. In these states public sentiment has been aroused. Nurserymen for the most part have agreed to discontinue distributing bushes. Park boards in many cit ies have eradicated them. Stats nursery inspectors or state entomolo- gists are destroying the bushes wher- ever stem rust infection is found. Several state councils of defense have issued appeals for the eradication of the barberry, and the public safety commission of Minnesota has issued an order providing for compulsory eradication in that state. A law providing for eradication has been on the statute books of North Dake- ta for more than a year.

 Synovitis.
 "The action of the liquid extract on acute synovitis with effusion of the kneejoint, whether traumatic or gou- ty, is speedily to relieve the pain, which does not recur, and to cause ab- horption of the fluid in four, five, or six days. After the fluid his disap- peared the slightly thickened syno- vial membrane can usually be felt for day or two. One or two days ap- plication of the ointment will remove it. At the end of week the patient can get up, using the knee as little as possible. The knee should have a flannel bandage applied and in about IA or 16 days from commencement of 1 treatment, the patient will be able to resume work. If he gets about too soon, the fluid is liable to return. This mode of treatment is simple, speedy in it's results, and appears trustworthy i in it's action"
 Mode of Application in Acute Cases.
 Ut is applied as a fermentation or poultice, one part of extract to three or four parts of hot water, on three or four layers of lint, covered with protective, then cotton wool and ban dage is added, to be renewed every two, three, or four hours, according to the severity of the case, until the fluid l t. l. but the patient must be kept in bed with the knee in comfortable posi- tion."
 The doctor cites further a number of cases successfully treated, among them being several cases of synovitis one caused by an injury to the knee joint. He also successfully used it ir gout, lumbago, rheumatism or fibro- sitis and bruises.
 I have, in the past, had many re- ports of chillblains being cured by poulticing with beets boiled in vine gar and I believe the same application would be good in rheumatism, but ir any event, it is good to see the great men of medicine recognizing the the. rapeutic value of the natural reme dies and the time will come wher nearly all diseases will be treated through the diet and the external ap. plication of the herbs and oils.

Extract Solani for Rheumatism: Continuing along the same line as the preceding article about the medicinal qualities in foods, we find our humble friend, the potato, strutting around In the London Lancet under the name of Extract Solani Liquidum," as a most remarkable remedy for the prompt re- lief of pain, acute or sub-acute, and the rapid absorption of the fluid in ca ses of synovitis, the cure of rheumatic joints and of gout,
 Now, I can well remember, and so undoubtedly can you, about the many pains that were relieved when we were children by a peultice of scraped po- tato. How cool it felt and how the pain almost instantly departed from burn or a strain or bruise. Yes, the potato is good medicine and good food Here are only few of the good things said about the common spud, but they are we'll said in Ellingwoods Thera- peutist!
 These results have been so con- stant and so thoroughly tested in many cases under my care" the writer says, that I now feel justified in bringing them before the medical profession hoping that the treatment, if carried out as recommended, will meet with similar success at the hands of other practitioners
 My investigation on the therapeu- tic uses of the potato, though carried on for some years, are not yet com- pleted, The initial difficulty of ascer- taining the kind of complaint the po- tato would relieve and deciding upon the part of the plant to be used, and then of the method of making the preparation, will be appreciated. In the juice of the potato there is no all kaloid.''
 "The basis of all the preparations is the liquid extract; extract solani h- quidum' is the name given it. It is made as follows: The raw potatoes hre put into a hydraulic press and the | liquid is squeezed out. About half the weight of the potato comes away in juice. The starch and nitrogen eous matter are removed, leaving the juice with the salts only in it, It is then concentrated by heat, and some glycerine added in order to preserve it until it is made five times the strength of the juice, therefore ten times the strength of the potato itself. The ointment is made the same streneth as the extract, and is prepared chiefly with lard. A liniment is made bv Ia king equal parts of the extract and one of soap liniment. The plaster is

CLUB NOTES.

Dear Doctor:-On the recommen- dation of a member of your Home Health Club, would like to ask you if there is certain diet that would heal up a fractured bone. I have one small bone in my ankle fractured, Thanking you, I am Yours truly,
 MISS F.
 (Answer) Bony formation is aided by a greater increase in diet con- taining the phosphates. You should be quite certain to use no fine white flour, but rather the whole wheat flour, rye and barley flour, also whole wheat cereal foods. raw fruits and vegetables. If you eat meats, have them thoroughly well done-pot roast of beef or fricasseed chicken cooked in a fireless cooker is usually well done. You would bezEises5os use in- formally a preparation or tissue foods cell salts they are sometimes called These supply directly to the tissues the elements necessary for repairing bone.

Vital Things of Life

Life is large. We cannot possibly
grasp the whole of it in the few
years we have to live. So let us SER
iously ask ourselves the question,
what is essential? That is, what may
be profitably let go. Is it hard to
know by what standard to measure,
or by what authority to decide? To US
it is deep and positive truth that
we should not cumber our lives with
the things, which at best we may
only grasp for a little time, when it
is possible to lay hold of the large
and wonderful things that we may
carry with us through eternity What
ever we really are, that let us be in
all fearlessness, what ever we are
not, that let us cease striving to be.
We can never work we'll while there
is friction in our lives, nor gain in
our work that ''beauty which is born
of power, and the sympathy which is
born of love-" as which Ruskin speaks.
If we go through life uneffectively
the fault is neither with our endow-
ment nor our environment, but with
ourselves, who have not made our
lives competent for life.
Carlyle says, "The situation that
has not its duty, it's ideal, was never
yet occupied by man, for here in this
hampered actual, here or no where is
thy ideal: work it out therefrom; and
working, be free. The ideal is thy
self, the impediment too is thy self:
thy condition is but the stuff thou
art, to shape that ideal out of; what
matters whether such stuff be Of this
sort or that. SO the form thou give it
be heroic, or poetic"
So to my own sex | would say, now
is our time to prove ourselves, let US
lay hold of work with a firm grasp,
for the life of strenuous, unremitting
work is the happy life, especially if
our lives are to be given in service to
another.

Red Cross Work at Lowell

1t may be said very truly of the
little neighborhood of Lowell, situat-
ed among the pine trees, that "what
is lacking in quantity is made up in
quality" for while the population is
not large one, they believe in doing
large things. And there is spirit
of unity in their work which is re-
freshing and good to see. Above all
things else Lowell is patriotic. When
the Red Cross movement was start
ed there there were of course many
not able to give much. But all want
ed to do their bit, and many denied
themselves real necessities, that they
might have a large part in the serv-
ice of their country. Individually
there are no sons or brothers going
forth to battle, for there were but
few young men to send. But collect
ivtly, they are all brothers and in the
truest sense of the word. LowelPs
quota for war savings stamps was
$4,000. They at once said they much
overreach this and up to date have
bought $4,000 worth of war savings
stamps. There are seventy members
of the Red Cross. The ladies meet
once week, but sew at their own
homes every day. The gentlemen's
division meets with the women once
month and keeps in touch with the
work, and every man, woman and
child in the community has pledged
themselves to do their part.
