Bridget Had little Trouble in Explain
Ing Why She Had Used Poker
on Her Hubby.

Bridget was before the magistrate
upon the charge of beating her hus-
band, who stood near the desk with
his head bound up in mass of band
ages and surrounded by an Odorous
cloud of iodine, indicating that he had
undergone extensive treatment at the
hospital. The magistrate called the
wife to the bar of justice.
"Now, madam" he said, "can you
explain to me why you struck your
husband over the head with the
poker?"
Bridget laid her hand on the bar
and leaning far over so she could inn
press her answer upon the attentive
officer of the law, replied:
"Shure, l hit him with the poker,
your honor, because at that moment
l couldn't lay my hands on the broom

ILL THE ny
lUEVURll
TREATMENT FOR MILK FEVER
All Dairymen Should Be Prepared to
Administer Simple and Successful
Remedy to Cows.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
In view Of the fact that milk fever
cows, particularly the heaviest mixers
in the large dairy district, it is of
great Importance that dairymen ac-
quaint themselves with the present ex-
tremely successful methods of treat
ment.
The disease more frequently attacks
well-nourished, fleshy, heavymilking
cows. 1t occurs during the most ac-
tive period of life Fourth to sixth
calf, and Is characterized by a sudden
onset and complete paralysis. One at
tack does not render the animal im-
mune. 1t generally follows closely the
act of calving and terminates In
short time CASUALLY from Is to "
hours) either in recovery or death.
While the disease may occur at any
time during the year, it is seen prin-
cipally during the warm summer sea-
son. 1t is rarely il ever, met with in
pure beef breeds.
At tIc vi uttuNh
there is usually excitement, the spe-
cialists say. The COW is restless, treads
with the hind feet, switches the tail.
and walks about uneasily. These symp-
toms are followed within few hours
by partial paralysis, indicated by
staggering gait, especially In the hind
legs. The animal then becomes quiz
eter. more weak, and finally falls down,
unable to rise. While down the animal
assumes a very characteristic position,
which is a great aid in diagnosis. The
head is turned around to the side
CASUALLY the left and rests on the
chest. On the day following the onset
of the disease, and In some cases even
within a few hours, the animal may
be up eating and drinking in a normal
manner. In fatal cases the animal
may remain perfectly quiet, being COM
pletely paralyzed, until death.
The treatment consists of injecting
air through sterile absorbent cotton,
preferably impregnated with carbolic
acid. into the teats by means of
specially designed syringe. Soap and
water should first be applied to the
teats and udder. after which they
should be carefully disinfected with
five per cent solution of carbolic acid
(three tablespoonfuls TO one quart of
water). Then insert the syringe in
the teats and force air in each quar-
ter of the udder. After one-fourth of
the udder is well distended with fl
tered air broad piece of tape should
be tied about the teat to prevent the
afr from escaping. Ia case the air
becomes absorbed and no improvement
is noted within five hours, a repetition
OF this treatment should be made un-
der the same antiseptic precautions as
the first. each quarter of the udder
being filed. The air should be left in
the udder for "a hours, and when the
recovery is assured It should be grad
ually MIXED out. II Is best to secure
the services of veterinarian for this
treatment. but this is not necessary if
the dairyman or farmer has proper
equipment and takes due precautions.

GROUND FROZEN AGES AGO
Scientific Explanations Of Fact Which
Has Puzzled Miners Who Have
Worked In Alaska.

Miners and biologists familiar with
conditions in Alaska are aware that
In many places the ground in that
country is permanently frozen, ex-
cept on the surface, to depth or
200 and even 300 feet. While this mas
been popularity attributed to long
continued low temperature in winter,
the interesting theory has recently
been advanced by scientist that the
condition is due to far colder
weather that obtained In some pre-
yious age, and that protective vegeta-
ton on the surface has kept the frost
in the ground permanently since then.
1t has been found that when moss
has been cleared away for open-cut
mining or farming, the upper level
of the grounds frost seemed gradually
to descend. If such is the case, it may
show that present temperatures are
not low enough to freeze the ground
to the great depths cited above.-Pop-

PICTURES ON VIEW
IN TIMES WINDOW

The sirens who sat on a rock in
the Rhine, Turing on the fishermen,
and the one who sang SO beautifully
that Odysseus on his return home
from his captivity had to stop up his
ears with wax to escape the lure
have about lost their reputation.
There dwell in Washington today
a group Of sirens-real sirens-that
have broken all records for sireneer-
ing. Probably the most remarkable
part of them is that they don't have
to use any of the Turing devices OF
their predecessors.
They just sit still all day long and
look beautiful, while the SWANS come
from all directions to get "a peep.
They don't let down "shock Of
golden hair" as the siren on the rock
did. Neither do they sing.
They don't fiirt, sing or make even
a single move. They don't eat or
drink, or dance or go to the movies.
And the swains stand out in the
binding snow storm, admiring.
The reason for this remarkable be-
havior is that their chief, Nell Brink
ley. won't let them. Now, you have
guessed IL ALL These sirens are only
