the injury and he remained in a hospital
in France until he had somewhat re-
covered, when he was shipped on a re-
turning transport and reached Cape May,

Lest he alarm his family he had let
them think he was still abroad, but as
soon as he was allowed to make the
journey, he left for Burlington. II will
be necessary for a silver plate to be
placed in his jaw to replace the part
blown away, but Croto expects to he

Don't Neglect That Earache.

In the "Good Health" department of
Farm and Fireside, DR.. Spahr says:
"A mother who has five children suf-
fering with earache has asked me what
she can do for it. External earache is
caused by washing in cold water, picking
the ear with the finger nail or hairpins,
while disease of the middle ear is caused
by extension of catarrh of the nose, en-
larged tonsils, and adenoids.
you can't be too careful what you put
into your child's ear. A mother made
nervous by the screams of her child, will
often resort to desperate means to soothe
the pain. A hot-water bottle applied to
the ear is great help. A safe and harm
less remedy is oil of cajeput, one dram,
oil of sweet almonds, one dram. Mix, and
drop from two to four drops in the ear.
"ff there is discharge of pus from the
ear, wash it out gently with equal parts
of peroxide of hydrogen and warm wa
