WHY WE MUST WIN THE WAR
If Conflict Ends With Conditions as at
Present Germany Will Domi-
nate, Writer Says.

"Mittel-Europa is in existence to-
day." says Frederick Naumann. a
prominent member of the reichstag.
He is right. Germany stands pos
sessed of all she hoped to gain when
she forced the war. She has reduced
her allies to military and economic de-
pendence. She dominates Belgium,
northern France, Poland, Russia Ser
bia, Montenegro and Roumania. More
than 20O,000,000 people are under the
dictation Of Prussia.
IL the war ends with conditions as
they are at present Germany's brutal
policy of force will dominate the world.
Italy, France and Great Britain have
combined population of 11S,OO0,000.
They are much smaller in area than
the Mittel-Europa empire would be,
are detached from each other and con-
fined within narrow limits on the
south and west of Europe. Neces-
sarily they would become secondclass
powers.
The United States, practically alone,
would be left to face the aggression
of power with about twice the popu-
lation. directed by autocratic rulers
toward further conquest.
The only way to make ourselves
safe is to win the war.

always be the first treatment given.

spoonful, and in few hours all the
foul waste, sour bile and fermenting
food which is clogged in the bowels
passes out of the system, and you
have we'll and playful child again.

undeveloped horns Of the calves. To
obtain the best results, the caustic
should be applied when the calf Is
from four to ten days old. Clip the
hair from around the knobs where the
horns are developing. With slightly
moistened stick Of caustic, rub each
horn alternately three or four times,
allowing it to dry each time before ap-
plying the next. Extreme care should
be taken not to have the stick so wet
that the solution from it will run down
the side Of the calf's head. To pre-
vent the spread of the caustic, which
will cause sores on the skin, apply
vaseline around the edge where the
hair has been clipped.
For older cattle, where the horns
have developed, either saws or clip
pers should be used. It is best to use
the clipper on the young animals when
the horns are still soft and tender,
but with older animals which have
hard, brittle horns the saw should be
used. While the operation can be per-
formed with clippers quicker and with
less pain, this instrument is liable to
crush the bone in older animals, caus-
ing wound that heals very slowly.
Cattle should never be dehorned
during warm weather, spring being the
best time to perform the operation. If
delayed too long in the season, the
wound may become infested with
screw worms, and flies are very an
noying. Either coal tar or pine tar
applied to the wound will prevent fly
Injury. If screw worms appear in spite
Of all precautions, they may be re-
moved by saturating a piece of abb
sorbent cotton in chloroform and in.
serting it into the wound, or by pour
ing gasoline into the horn cavities.
This kills the worms, which should
then be removed with a pair of for.
ceps.
In order to make a clean cut and
avoid trouble in performing the opera
tion, the animals head should be
clapped or held in firm position. For
this purpose dehorning chutes, the
front of which consists of two strong
pieces which can be closed firmly on
either side of the cows neck, are very
convenient.

WOMEN SUFFERERS MAY
NEED SWAMP-ROO1

Thousands upon thousands of women
have kidney and bladder trouble and
never suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in healthy
condition, they may cause the other or.
gans to become diseased.
Pain in the back, headache, loss of am
bition, nervousness, are often times symp-
toms of kidney trouble.
Don't delay starting treatment. DR..
Kilmers' Swamp Root, physicians pre-
scription, obtained at any drug store, may
be Just the remedy needed to overcome
such conditions.
Get medium or large size bottle inn
nlediately from any drug store.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and

Alfalfa in New Zealand.

The raising Of lucerne or alfalfa in
New Zealand is receiving much atten-
ton of late, and the different varie-
ties are being tested, with the result
that there was cut during 1917 three
crops of Turkestan lucerne with a
total of 1-5 long tons per acre of the
green lucerne, weighing shortly after
cutting 11A tons of Peruvian per acre,
12A tons Of Poitou, 111a tons of Rus
sian, II tons of Spanish, IL 1-3 tons
of Hungarian, IA tons of Patagonian,
and 14A tons of Marlborough lucerne.
1t is estimated that the Patagonian and
Marlborough lucerne, when converted
into hay, would give an approximate
yield of 31a tons each, which at $19.4d
per ton gives a total value Of S6S.13

The Lucky Horseshoe.

When Lord French visited the little
county town of Oldham to inspect the
Rutland volunteers, he found time to
leave horseshoe on the castle walls.
From time immemorial the lord of
the manor has demanded horseshoe
from every peer of the realm on his
first setting foot within the ''lOrdship."
The custom is carefully kept up, and
the ever-increasing collection of horse
shoes which hang on the walls of the
hall Of the castle numbers some 200,
ranging in size from that of the ordi-
nary racer to the Brobdingnaglan pro-
portions of shoe seven feet long

lbIlought to be the "Tale of Two Broth
%," written 5000 years ago by the
1TIeban scribe Ennana, librarian Of the
palace Of King Menepthah, the sup
posed Pharaoh of the Exodus. The
tale, 1t appears, was written for the
entertainment of the crown prince,
who subsequently reigned as Seti II.
His name appears in two places in the
manuscript, probably the only surviv-
Ing autograph signature of an Egypt
Ian king. This piece of antique fiction,
written on nineteen sheets of papyrus
tn a bold hieratic hand, was purchased
In Italy by Nine. d'Orbiney, who sold
It In 1857 to the authorities of the
British museum, where it is now
Known as the D'Orbiney papyrus.

are easier to handle, have an equal

In the feed lots, are less dangerous to
