a French doctor who treats the French
civilian employees. One of his patients
has been suffering from a severe abb
scess on her leg, and the other day he
had one of the army ambulances take
her to the hospital.
The next day he called again, gave
the same name and address, and said
he wanted the patient taken to the
hospital.
But" he was told, 1--WE took that
woman to the hospital last evening"

mans charges, If saved, will consti-
tute a good profit for the feeder. This
is especially true of roughages. Such
feeds are bulky and in most cases must
be baled at a considerable cost; the
freight rates also are much greater in
proportion to the nutrients contained
than Oh the grains.
When land is high in price and the
markets for dairy products are good, 1t
is often impracticable to grow all the
feeds on the farm. In such cases ar
~rangements first should be made to
grow the roughage, on account of the
high cost of transporting these feeds.
In most cases the prime object of the
farm under such conditions will be to
supply the greatest possible quantity
of roughage.
1t is o difficult problem to provide a
system of winter feeding of roughage
which will make the best $ of home
grown roughage and at the same time
insure full production.
In addition to containing the proper
nutrients in the right proportion, part
Of the ration should be of a ~succulent
nature. 1t is extremely difficult, IL not
impossible, to keep cows in full produc-
ton thr oughout the winter without
some %succulent feed. There are two
chief sources of succulent feed for
winter feeding-silage and roots. OF
these, silage is in almost universal use
by commercial dairymen. While al
most any green crop may be
used for siiage, the heavy yields
of corn, as compared with other
crops. and its comparative ease OF
handling, together with its keeping
qualities, make it the leading silage
crop. Where the cos of land and the
prices of dairy products are high. and
the system of farming of necessity is
Intensive, 1t is questionable whether
the dairyman should consider any 9th
err silage crop.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
The chief function of roots in cattle
feeding is to supply a %succulent feed
Under general farm conditions the
quantity of nutrients grown per acre
im root crops is small in comparison
to the cost of production. These root
crops, however, can be preserved dur
ing the winter equally well whether
large or small quantities are fed
each day, and therefore have special
application when only a few cows are
to be fed. OF the different DOT crops
mangel wurzels furnish the greatest
yield per acre. Other kinds of beets
and turnips and carrots may be used
Turnips, however, SHOULD be fed after
milking rather than before, as they
cause a bad flavor in the products II

Weekly Health Talks
GOING BACK TO NATURE
BY DIR. W. LUCAS.

People get sick because they 20
away from Nature, and the only way
to get well is to go back. Something
grows out of the ground in the form
of vegetation to cure almost every I'll.
Some of these vegetable growths are
understood by man, and some are not.
Animals, 1t would seem, know what to
do when they are sick better thnn
men and women. Observers have
noted that a sick horse, dog or cat
will stop eating food and seek out
some vegetable growth In the field or
yard, which, when found and eaten,
often restores appetite and health.
Haven't you seen these animals do
this very thing yourself?
DR.. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y, long since
found the herbs and roots provided by
Nature to overcome constipation, and he
had these vegetables collected and made
up of Mayapple, leaves of Aloe, root OF
Jalap, into little white sugar-coated pills,
that he called DIR. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets.
You must understand that when your in.
testines are stopped up, poisons and de.
cayed matter are imprisoned in your sys.
tenn, and these are carried by the blood
throughout your body. Thus does your
head ache, you get dizzy, you can't sleep.
your ski1 may break out, your appetite de.
clines, you get tired and Respondent. As
a matter of fact, you may get sick all
over. Don't you see how useless all this
suffering is? All that is often needed il

France, which, since the outbreak of
the great war, justly considers herself
an outpost nation guarding "A frontier
of civilization, strongly urged the crea-
tion of an immediate international
army and navy to enforce the rulings

geois argued earnestly for the con-
stitution of such n force and for the
placing of it in France until all danger

American and British representatives,
who showed that II was contrary to the
constitutions of their countries. The
long discussion ended in an agreement
that If Il country should he attacked,
IN violation of the rules of the league.
the attacked country would employ
her military forces as covering
troops and await aid from those 9th

II is scarcely conceivable that this
solution of the question can he salts

demonstrated that In n sudden shock

France fears will happen again with
Germany again as the aggressor, and
her alarm, though II may be as fool

allies render the Huns militarily i'm

REPUBLICANS ADD
FOUR RESERVATIONS
Senate Committee Eraarges Program
of Changes and Party Zines
Are Breaking

Washington, Oct. 29.-After the
Senate Foreign Relations Committee
had agreed late today, upon making
four more reservations to the Peace
Treaty. making a program OF four.
Teen reservations in all. Senator Lodge
the majority leader, declared that he
had counted the votes which would
support them and that, without doubt,
they would be adopted by the Senate.
Mr.. Lodge admitted that the reser-
yations were of the nature of amend
ments, in that. as the preamble re-
cites, they must be accepted by three
of the four principal signatories, be"
fore the treaty becomes operative as
o the United States. He depends on
Democratic votes to offset those of
middle ground Republican Senators
who may oppose the preamble.
The Republican leader said that 1t
was distinctly desirable that the
reservations be acquiesced in by the
principal signatories. so that there
might be no misunderstanding as to
the attitude of the United States at
any future time. once the United
States was in the League of Nations.
After the committee had wound up
its work on the new reservations. Sen
ator Hitchcock, the minority leader,
said emphatically that If the reserva-
tons were carried, the requisite mum
Der of Democrats would be found
ready to defeat the treaty with such
charges.
