2s,842 CASES INFLUENZA.
State Board of Health Makes Report
DR.. F. T. Kidder New President.

Burlington, Nov. 1.-THE state board
of health held a meeting in this city last
week and elected DIR. +. I, Kidder OF
Woodstock president to succeed the late
DIR. G. S. Caverly. The report Of the
secretary contained the following infor-
nation;
A total Of 2S,s42 cases of influenza
was reported in the state for the month

cial figures are as follows: October 6
$685.; October 10, 7,640; October 30
4,52S; October 81, 1861; November 8

effect in keeping the population fre'
from other diseases. During the month
there were II cases of measles, of small

FOR NERVOUS
INDIGESTION
Try Tonic That Strengthens the Nerves
and Makes Normal Diges-
ton Possible.

Nervous dyspepsia is not an organic
disease of the stomach but lowering of
the nervous force of the body. 1t is usu-
ally accompanied by other manifesta-
tions of nervousness such as headache,
sleeplessness and unusual irritability. 1t
is related TO neurasthenia, which is a con-
dition of debility in which the reserve of
nervous energy is overdrawn. Correct
the condition by nourishing the nerves
through the blood and the digestive dis
turbance will quickly disappear.
Miss Antoinette Bergeron Of No. 26
st. Mary's street, Biddeford, Me-, says;
"a few years ago | had weak and
dizzy spells that rapidly grew worse. My
heart was very bad and futtered so that
it took me long time to collect myself.

had choking spells. Severe pains fol-
lowed eating and at times vomited.
E'My mother recommended DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills to me, and by the time
| had taken one box could see good
results. My stomach felt much better,
and the vomiting, ceased. The choking
spells are entirely gone and my general
health is good. ] can work without that

Whatever medication, whatever re-
newed strength and vigor can be impart-
| ed to the nerves must reach them

Pills are nervine tonic, but they act on
the nerves through the blood, enabling
the blood to carry to the nerves the ele.
ments needed to build them up.
Neuralgia, sciatica, sick headache anc

bles are properly treated by building III

SELECTION OF FEED CATTLE
Butcher Wants Animal That Will Do
liver Highest Percentage Of Good
Cuts-0ood Points.

The block Is the supreme and final
test Of the beef animal The butcher
desires an animal that will deliver the
highest percentage Of good cuts, and
show refinement in parts that are not
edible, in order to reduce waste.
Fineness Of bone, lack Of paunchiness
and small head are thus desired by
the butchers, but the steer with light
bone, small paunch and frail head
would be unable to 60 through the
feeding period and make economical
gains.
Even though the strong, vigorous.
capacious feeder may not turn out mt
the finish into the exact ideal Of the
butcher, he Is the one that puts on the
largest and steadiest gains, endures
heavy feeding for the longest time,

used for sewing the straight edges to-
gether so that these stitches and no
others may be cut, in case 1t Is neces-
sary to open the seams to take the
sweater off, when its wearer Is wound
ed. This saves the sweater for future
use. But however carefully all these
garments are made they will wear out
and We must all stick to our knitting
for some time to come.
Another item Of comfort for the sol.
diers, that disappears like snow under
the sun, is the needed trench torch.
Millions Of these have already been
made by school children and millions
more must be made. Then there are
the caps, bootees and other garments
school girls are making successfully.
In planning the work of the school
children for 1918 it must be given va
riety.
Boys and girls did some efficient
work in selling bonds for the second
Liberty loan and not many of them

titude for this work, grOwn-ups hate to

lost by bringing corn from the South
and attempting to grow 1t in the North
where 1t failed to mature. One Of the
most common mistakes In selecting
seed corn is to lay too much stress up
on one thing-forgetting all other feat
ures, some of which are of great i'm
pOrtance. A person will often sacri-
fee everything to depth Of kernel, size
or length Of ear, or place too much
stress upon straightness Of rows. fill
Ing out at the tip, space between rows,

Just as we came to the conclusion
that there would be no new departure
in styles for the midwinter coat, the
trench coat" breezed in and made an
instantaneous success with the young
err set. It's name bespoke an interest
in 1t and the coat repays this interest.
1t Is only In details of finishing that
it differs from many other of the win
ter's successful models. 1t is the sort
Of comfortable. practical affair that
commends itself for general wear, to
the active young woman who goes
everywhere. But it has q style of its
own with a snappy military flavor.
Ever though it reaches to the shoe
tops, the, trench coat contrives to be
trim looking with its wide fiat box
plat down the front. The belt, of the
material, slips through rpturned flaps
ut each side, which are fastened down
with big bone buttons. che deep cuffs,
that are of uneven width, overlap at
the edges and an important button
stands guard on each Of these. The
collar Is Of the smuggling variety that
has won the devotion of the fashion
able. It is immensely becoming and
comfortable. This garment may be de-
velOped in any of the plain, soft coat
ings that have made this a most sue
cessful coat season.
Content to bear comparison with the
trench coat, another popular model
presents itself in the picture. 1t also
has several interesting points to be
considered with yoke and sleeves cut

LAY BLAME FOR POOR CROPS
Wrong Selection Of Seed Often Named
When Preparation Of Soil Is
Really the Trouble.

It Is not well to blame crop fail
are on wrong selection Of seed,
when the preparation of the field is
so often the cause. A field planted
with corn where much trash lays bur-
led will too often prove to be nothing
else than placing the grains among
dead and dry vegetable matter under
the ground. There they have no moist
ure nor soil to hasten or cause ger
minatlon nor to support life; hence
the work and seed both have been lost.
The missing hill theory may be sup
ported, partly, by this fact, and 1t
seems very reasonable to believe 1t
has something to do with 1t instead of
laying the whole blame on something
else.

finally finishes out with the greatest
weight, and yields the highest percent
age Of prime beef.
In selecting feeders, there Is per.
haps no point more important than
the back. A wide, straight, strong
back, with a well sprung rib, Is essen
tial. The girth of the steer should be
large-that is, the distance around the
body back Of the shoulder should be
as large as possible. This means more
room for vital organs and insures a
better constitution than Is otherwise
likely to prevail. Associated also
with large girth is a well-sprung rib,
making a wide back on which there Is
room for the deposition Of a large
quantity Of high-priced meat. There
is also greater depth of chest and
greater digestive capacity with large
girth.
