USE OF BACTERIAL VACCINE
Vaccination as Preventive for straraIes
and DistemPer Being Extensively
Employed.

The vaccination of horses as a pre-
7cntive for strangles or distenper is
being extensively employed. 1t has
been found that the cause of the dis.
ease warrants The use of & bacterial

strangles as we'll as other diseases

Germany's Labor Army,

"Our growing labor army" is the de-
seriptiOn applied by the Huns to their
prisoners Of war. According to COM
mnniQue In the latest Berlin papers.
Germany and her vassals betweeh
them now hold 3,575,0OO prisoners. For
the FIRST time the German military au
thOTities lay stress on the supreme
value Of their prisoners as man power
for industry and agriculture. They arp
so numerous, 1t is asserted, that they
go far toward compensating Germany
for tho men she has had to Withdraw
from peaceful pursuits for active mil
itary service. "The longer the war
lasts" the communique adds, "th9
more adaptable these prisoners be-
come TO the work assigned them, and
the more useful to u.s."
Huns have majestic awe of big
figures. THIS 1t is explained for their
ediflcatiOn that the "labor army" in
prisoner camps is numerically greater
than the whole male working-class
populatiOn of Denmark, Norway and
Sweden combined, "and is equivalent
to one-fifth the total number of work.

One of the curious news outcrop-
pings of the war comes from Shelf
field, the home of English cutlery. A
hollow-ground razor blade was ex-
hibited, and stamped on the shoulder
was the mark "Ground in Hamburg"
The explanation was that the Brit
ish public believed the Germans did
better work and demanded the Ger
man product, so the altruistic British
workman gave the Germans the benefit
of his own unrivaled skill, apparently
unruffled by the attitude of his own
countrymen.

of the earth. Our brave sons are facing the
fire of battle in defense Of the honor and

clates IN the war, a generous and patriotic peo-
pie have been called upon to subscribe to the

Presidents Proclamation

Your neighbor will pass judgment on you
by the evidence you show-by the button you
wear or the honor flag in your window.
You will pass judgment on yourself by
the knowledge that you have or have not done
your full duty.
No man who has merely made a conven-
fence subscription can possibly "get by" if he
honestly asks himself "Have | done all |
should?"
No man who has bought less than ne can
save and pay for can square himself with his
conscience.
No firm which has made large profits can
ever justify itself if it refuses to buy to the
limit.
No firm which carries a large balance in
the bank can justify itself for refusing to in
vest a substantial part of it's reserve in Liberty
Bonds.
No firms or individuals can justify a re-
fusal to buy less bonds than they would buy if
the facts were made public.
Note President Wilson's words, "Liberally
pledge anew" There is the opportunity for
the man or firm who has undersubscribed to
pledge anew-to make a second subscription
that will measure UP to his ability. 1t is also
the opportunity of the man who since he sub
scrihed has found another way in which he
can save and thus buy an extra bond.
We will observe Liberty Day by working
harder than ever to sell bonds-we will
