Speaking with one of the commits
SaOners appointed to make survey Of
ahe food situation in the battle-torn
countries OF Europe the writer was
told that the depletion and shortage
Of food was far greater than anybody
had expected With the investigation,
which at that time had merely started,
much had been brought to light that
had only been surmised. Herds of live
stock were completely wiped out, fields
that had been prolific yielders of grain,
roots and vegetables were terraced and
hummocked by bombs and shells,
many Of them still lying unexploded
and dangerous. Until this land can be
gone over and cleaned nothing in the
way Of cultivation can be carried on,
and even where that is done the work
Of leVeling and getting under cultiva-
hon viii take long time.
Much more devolves upon the farmer
On this side of the Atlantic than was
ut first supposed. Herds of live stock
VII have to be replenished, and this
will take years the provisioning Of
the people in the meantime is the task
aka farmers here will be asked to un-
dertake. Producing countries will be
BAKED to their utmost to meet this de-
SnRnd; all that can be provided will
Do needed. This need will continue
aog some time, and during this period
prices will be high. The opinion Of
EhOse who have given the question
most careful thought and study is that
food scarcity will be greater than ever
before. The Allies will have to feed
Germany, Austria. Turkey and Russia
and this in addition to the require
ments Of European neutrals for in
creased supplies now that there is no
submarine menace.
To the Canadian and American farm
CT this means a demand for his grain
fully as great as at any time in the
past. Wheat will be needed, meat will
be required. The slogan "don't stop
BRVEng food is as necessary today as
ever. The purpose of this article is to
direct attention to the fact that hun
dreds of thousands of acres of land
sn Western Canada are still unOccu-
pied, and this land is capable of pro-
ducing enough to supply all needs. On
ats rich grasses are easily raised-and
Gheaply too-the cattle that will be
sought; in its soil lies the nutriment
Ghat makes easy the production of the
grain that will be needed, and in both
the farmer will be assured Of a good
profit on his investment. The land can
be purchased at low prices, on easy
aerms, and with the abundance Of re-
turns that it will give, it does not mean
81 matter of speculation. The facts as
set out are known, and certainly are
guaranteed.
These facts. the low cost of the land,
and its great productivity, combined
with the admirable marketing and
transport facilities at the disposal of
the farmer make farming in Western
Canada an attractive proposition.-Ad
wertisement.

CARING for British Soldiers.

For the British officers and men
who are to be kept in the field until
peace negotiations are concluded the
government is planning an educational
service corps to give them quick and
intensive special training to fit them
for civilian employment. Courses of
instruction will cover industrial and
commercial organization, banking, in
surance and accounting. A correspon-
1ence bureau will form part of the
scheme, although most of the work OF
instruction will be done by staff of
lecturers.

dear to the heart of Lucille when she
puts her mind upon picturesque gowns.
There is a plain underbodice of
American Beauty satin, mere wide
band, which appears to be wrapped
about the bust. Nothing could cling
closer to the shoulders and arms than
the lace of the bodice, with long
sleeves which end in deep f1aring cuffs
of satin. These mits and cuffs on lace
sleeves are a feature of the new
styles and jeweled hands play hide
and seek in them in a very fascinating
way. The bodice has a round neck fin
ished in the simplest way with bind
ing of satin.
The long pointed tunic and the very
wide girdle of satin are marvels of
beautiful adjustment to the figure. The
genius of the designer is written in
them and in the facing of the tunic
with American Beauty satin, the
tracery of heavy silk floss, cleverly
outlining the pattern in the lace, which
make Of this a joyous and beautiful
Victory gown.

MORE CHOLERA SERUM USED
Greater Value of Hogs Is Responsible
for More General Use of This
Effective Remedy.
prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agricultural

prepared by the United States Depart-
ment of Agriculture)
More hOg-cholera serum was manu-
featured last year than in any previous
year, despite a decrease in the amount
of hog cholera. The increased demand
for hOg-cholera serum is ascribed to
the greater value of hogs, with the
consequent greater loss when one dies,
and to the fact that hog raisers are be-
coming more appreciative of the value
of using serum manufactured under
federal supervision.
Department of agriculture officials
warn hog raiserS against the indis-
criminate use of medicines or proprie-
tary preparations other than serums,
as experience has shown that nothing
except serum, properly prepared and
administered, is effective. Medicines
other than serums, according to de-
partment officials, are worse than use
less, because they not only fail to cure
Or prevent disease, but allow the loss
Of the animals they are advertised to
save, thus taking money from the
farmer and meat from the nations
supply.
AntitOxinS, Serums, and other biOlog-
ical products for the treatment of do
nestle animals must be prepared in es-
adjustments operated under licenses
issued by the secretary of agriculture
before they may be marketed legally
in interstate trade. Products of IL
censed establishments are prepared
under the supervision of trained veter-
inarians and their assistants of the
bureau of animal industry of the de-
partment. Sixty-eight veterinarians,
in addition to forty-one inspectors and
clerks, are now engaged in this work
and are located in eleven states.
Federal regulations require that all
animals used in the preparation or
testing of hog-cholera serum and
hOg-cholera virus, both of which are
used in the treatment of hogs in the
prevention of hog cholera, be procured
1irect from farms and not transported
through stOckyards or similar places
where they might be exposed to con-
tagious diseases. AS an additional
safeguard all animals must not only
De inspected by bureau veterinarians
at the time they are presented for adj
mission to licensed establishments, but
each animal is carefully inspected at
the time of incubation as well as inn
nediately before bleeding for the pro-
1uction of either virus or serum.
Veterinary biological products, after
being properly prepared, are tested by
laboratory methods and upon animals
to determine whether they are free
from communicating organisms and
will accomplish the object for which
they are intended.
Federal inspectors, as well as en-
ployees of establishments, are required
TO keep satisfactory records relative
to the inspection and manufacture Of
all products. In the year 1917, 25O,-
041, 200 cubic centimeters of anti-hog-
cholera serum were collected in Ii
censed establishments. Of this amount
|, 1867, 1O6 cubic centimeters were de-
strOyed as unfit for use.

UF ANCIENT EGYPT
Interesting Relics Coming to the
United States.
Expedition Under the Auspices Of the
Pennsylvania University Museum
Has Been Highly Successful
in Its Explorations.

Despite handicaps caused by the
war, the Pennsylvania University mu-
scum has acquired many relics un-
earthed at Memphis by its Egyptian
expedition. A vessel will be char
tered to transport the relics.
The expedition started on it's trip
in March, 1915, and continued explor-
age of labor and the high prices Of
materials due to the war, caused a
cessation in the work.
A representative of the Roumanian
government had obtained the cOnceS-
sion of the whole site, but the war in
tervened and the Egyptian expedi+
ton offered the university party the
choice of any portion. An area near
the colossi of Rameses IL was select
ed, because of the discoveries made in
that region by an inspector Of an
tiquities for lower Egypt. He had re-
1vealed what was apparently the room
Of Pharaoh's palace.
Excavations by the party from the
university museum proved the build
ing to be the royal residence Of Me
nenptah, who ruled from 1925 3. @. to
1915 3. G. The explorers found three
cient location Of as many civilizations.
A large Roman city had occupied the
site of the tOpmOst layer, underneath
which were large masses of masonry
belonging to the period estimated to
have been 1920 B. c., and the lowest
Menenptah at total distance Of from
sixteen to eighteen feet below the sur
face level.
The palace, which had been unharm-
ed by the natives, apparently had
been a magnificent structure. Lime
stone was the material used for the
columns and Trainings while the outer
walls were Of sun-dried brick. The
eastern wing of the palace, which was
the first to be excavated, contained
magnifcently decorated apartments
where the Pharaoh and his wife Cor
wives) spent their time.
The section of the palace that
pleased the explorers most was the
throne room. Six columns supported
it's roof, the best preserved having a
base of limestone with a horizontal
band of inscription laid in pale green
ish blue faience. The lower part OF
the column had a row of sepals in
relief springing from a broad band of
gold. Between the tips Of the sepals
were large lotus flowers inlaid in IA
fence.
Panels, showing a procession OF
Nile gods, bearing vases of water to
the Pharaoh, and gilded relief figures
of Menenptah, were prominent fea-
lures of a massive doorway that was
unearthed.
Elaborate colOred stucco pavements,
walls and small papyrus columns
red, yellow, and blue being the colors
of the principal patterns-formed some
of the striking interior relief features
of the royal residence.

green linen with small pearl buttons
set on the outside seam at the bottom
of each leg-just like big boy. These
trousers button to white waist with
large pearl buttons, calculated to fill
the heart of any little chap with JOY

The collar of the blouse is made of
green linen like the trousers and it
has a scalloped edge, button-holed in
white. There are cuffs to match it.

The hog should be considered as a
machine for turning feedstuffs into
pork. The more quickly this result can
be accomplished the more profitable it
is for the owner. 1t is a common belief
that if the grain fed to hogs on pasture
is limited, more forage will be eaten
and cheaper gains produced. This be-

Food-Producing Machines in Operation.

lief is not substantiated by the feeding
tests that have been conducted at sew
eral agricultural experiment stations.
A full feed of grain to hogs on good
pasture not only produces the most
rapid gains, but usually gives the most
profitable results. When account is
taken of the saving Of labor and the
reducing of loss from disease by mar
keting animals at seven and nine
months of age instead of keeping them
for a year or more, the advantage is
almost always with the more rapid
growth. The self-feeder system which
permits hogs to eat grain at will either
in pastures or dry lots is becoming
more and more popular in the corn
belt states, and there seems to be no
valid reason why self-feeders should
not prove equally successful in all
parts of the country.

their children that causes them to take
the first step downward. Old and
young alike should see this play and
study the lesson it offers.
