HEALTH OF CHILDREN

The Vossische Zeitung Sept. 22) reports a meeting of the German So- cietl' for ChiIdren's Therapeutics in the lecture room of the childTen's clinic o' Leipzig University, at which Prof. Schlossmann gave q lecture on children's diseases and the war.
 He mentioned the decrease in the birth rate and said that, for instance, in the Dusseldorf district the number of births had decreased from 100000 In 1914 to 6O,000 in 1916. Also in the Rhine Province 8 great decline had to be reckoned with. It is reported from all parts O" Germany that the newborn chil- dren are in very good condition in spite 0f the small food raitons avail able for the mothers. The mortality Of infants is relatively and absol- utely favorable, a consequence of the imperial grants to nursing mothers which have encouraged the natural feeding of infants, and, further, Of the reduction of the overlooking of infants, which was the cause of SO many deaths in peace time. Tickets and eczema have nearly disappeared, and there are fewer cases of parasitic skin diseases and of congenital sy- philis. The reports of medical men examining school recruits are fa- Norable but after the tenth year of age a reduction in the increase in weight is noticed. Infectious di- seases have not increased in conse- quence of the prolonged war, nor have they assumed a malicious character Many infections were caused ay newly founded creches and children's homes, which were not furnished or managed in a hy- gienic msner. The malignancy of infectious cases accepted at chil- dren's hospitals is due to the fact that medical Assistance is called in too late. In the case of phthisis it is different; this disease has in creased in numbers and the gravity even in well-to-do circles. The speaker regarded as the causes for this fte scarcity of fat, the de- crease in cleanliness owing to the scarcity of soap, and the bad hous- ing conditions.

MEAT OF CAT TRIBE DELICIOUS

It is mighty delicious, they say. It looks like pork and tastes like venison. Indeed some venison ex- perts who tasted it pronounced it the best deer meat they had ever eaten. Its real name is cougar, and Clarence J. Albrecht, museum assistaGt at the University of Wash ington, distributed steaks among his friends in Seattle last week af-
 CT experiment proved them to be palataDle. He received the big cat from a taxidermist for anaton1- ical study; it was obtained on the south fork of the Snoqualmie and weighed 22O pounds.
 I've shot and eaten practically everything in the line of big game on the American continent but this cougar was more tender and fine flavored than anything I ever had, and was like turkey" declared Mir. Albrecht..

WAR CONDITIONS MAKE CHANCE
 IN ALASKA

The annual statement of the commerce, customs and business of Alaska for the calendar year ended December 31, 1917, shows some very interesting changes in Alaska due to war conditions. For in stance according to the report, separating the products of the Ter ritory intc two general classes, land and sea. it will be noted that last year 1916 the value of land pro duets exceeded those of the sea by nearly thirteen million dollars while in the present year, 1917, he sea products were nearly three million dollars more than those of the land. Abnormally increased price of copper brought this about n the previous and the same cause applied e fish products in the present year, 1917, reversed the position of the classes.
 Tbe Qrica of merchandise shipped to the Territory has been greatly enhanced compared with the vol ume. Thus the twenty one million dollar gain in commerce value in 1917 over 1916 has been due to price rather than volume.
 The total exports for 1916 were $25,314,993 while for 1917 they Ye7a $44,431,6OO. Imports for 1916 were $119,937,443 and in 1917 they were $141,125,462.
 Fish exports for 1917 were s1,- 111.2S4 which. added to the total of domestic exports makes a grand total value of shipments from Al aska $92,7O2,692, an increase over 1916 Of nearly $13,OOO,OOO.
 Arrivals in Alaska from the Un- tied states and British Columbia for 1916 were 28,6O6 while in 1917 arrivals total 27,03O. Departures to the United States and British Columbia for 1916 were 26,859 while ir 1917 they were 31, ,259.
 Merchandise shipped to Skag- wpy during 1917 amounted to $956, 950, which gives Skagway the sixth ,DlGce in this particular in the first division.
 The third division leads in mer- chandise shipped from the United States to Alaska the value of the amount received being $19,234,642.. The first division comes second with s14,O4S,46S. Of gold and silver shipped to the United States the fourth division leads with a total 6 $6,452,157, while the first division is sgain second with $4,592,716.

 As the pibroch notes swell Oh, they're bonnie fighters, The Ladies of Hell. They are far frae the heather And far frae the moor; As the rack of their hillsides Their faces are dour, Oh, "The Campbells are Coming" Frae corrie and fell What thrill 10 their slogan, These Ladies of Hell. As they charged at Culloden Like fire OCT the brae, Their brothers are charging,

Shepherdstown People Should Not
Wait Until 1t Is Too Late.

The appalling death-rate from kid
ney disease is due largely to the fact
that the little kidney troubles are usu-
ally neglected until they become seri-
Gus. The slight symptoms often give
place to chronic disorders and the suf-
ferer may slip gradually into some Sc
rious form of kidney complaint.
If you suffer from backache, head
aches, dizzy spells; if the kidney Sc
cretions are irregular of passage and
unnatural, do not delay. Help the kid
neys at once.
Doan's Kidney Pills are especially
for kidney disorders-they act where
others fail Over one hundred thou
sand people have recommended them.
Here's a case at home:
Mrs. John Snyder, Shepherdstown,
says: Several years ago suffered from
an attack of kidney trouble. My back
ached constantly and sometimes pains
of a sharp nature would shoot through
the small of my back and into my sides,
My kidneys acted irregularly also. AS
| had read of Doan's Kidney Pills,
got some at Hills Pharmacy. The first
box helped me so much, continued
their use until was cured. | haven't
