Hence a I {hat once has a splint will al have it, although ail visible toms may have disappeared. We often hear peouie say thal 'A hgrse over seven years «id never has splints." .

Symptoms.--In many cases lameness is caused. The first intima- tion of the presence of splint is the appearance of the enlargement, which usually gradually disappears. fn other cases lameress is well ma yrk- ed, and is usually characteristic. A horse lame from splint will usually stand abd walk sound, but if asked to jog or trot will show well marked lameness, the heau dropping decided- ly when the foot of the sound leg touches the ground. The laineness ig often noticed before there is any vis- ce enlarg-ment. The lameness ig more marked when the horse trots down grade, and the intensity of the 8y 40 tige is continued. Manipulation will usually reveal fhe seat of the trouble. By pressing botween the thumb and finger the line of attachment between the large and small bones from (he knee downwards, the seat can be lo- cated by the avrse fiinching when the seat of the trouble is pressed. And, if severe pressure be appiied he will often reay on his hind legs. The usual seat of sprint is on the inner surface of the fore cannen, or it may oe on the cuter surface, or both, and 5 usually one to three inches below he knee, but may be either high ye lower, The hind limb is sel fected, but when it is the seat is isuaily on the outer surfare.

The devciopment of the dairy im- dustry of Canada during the past two lecades has been surprisingly rapid. Juick to realize the profits to be de- rived from milk production and the zreat value cf dairying in conserving the fertility of the soil, the Canadian farmer has not hesitated to increase his investments in dairy cattle. The i expanded during the five ef world war. Canada, being distant from the theatres of war, though handicapped by the drafting to military service of half a mil- of her mest vigorous manhood, able to continue the development Lag many of her important industries, particularly agriculture. : © It was not so in Europe. There the fiery blast of war, which left profits in some parts of the world, almost extinguished not only industry but wetional life itself in other. The drain upon manhood was so great that now in hundreds of thousands of families no adult males remain. Europe more- over ig filled with orphan children whose prospect of life is marred by the lack of all that is necessary to Bodily and mental growth. In most li the earning power and conse- guently the purchasing power of their families is utterly destroyed. Turning again to Canada we find there a surplus production of the eommodities that are so badly needed im Europe. Condensed milk for in- stance is a commodity that is a prime g2ceasity for the children of the poor egmmunities of Europe but the na- tisns to which they belong have no means of purchasing it for them. The Canadian Red €ross is going to ezdeavor to supply part of their needs by means of a general appeal for con- tributions to be made ddring Armis- thse week on behalf of the British Empire Fund, which is to be used in gufferings of millions who are stricken Gy famine and disease. Part of the fund will be used for purchasing in &2nada suitable supplies and thus the Bed Cross will furnish the bridge geross which some of our surplus glk will reach the enfeebled chil- dren in war-stricken areas. Those who assist will not only have the satisfaction of having contributed to ralieve the sufferings of others less fertunste but by helping others will thereby indirectly help themselves. BRODY Va GENEVA. Organizer for League of Red Cross Societies Tells of Need of f ~ Europe's Orphans. "While we at home are intent on industrial expansion and a place in the sur, Europe in its war-weakened eonditior is fighting for its very egigtence," said Donald W. Brown, director of the department of organi- zation in the League of Red Cross its of the World, which has its headguarters at Geneva, Switzerland. He visited Toronto to learn the peace , program of the Canadian Red Cross Society and to establish closer contact between it and the league. Riillions of War Orphans. Blaving just arrived from Europe, { Mr. Brown was able to give the Cana~' diam Red Cross some first hand in- formation concerning the people of Hurcpe. He called attention particu- larly to the condition of the children, g0 nrany of whom are now orphans. ' While the exact number who have lost one or both parents during the war cannot be determined, the most conservative estimate places the num- ber at over ten millions. This num- ber seems quite consistent with the { heavy war casualties among so many rations. Dependent Upon Charity. The condition of these children is im mnost cases very pitiable. Many of them have no homes and they are dependent upon whoever may be charitable and kind enough to help them. But there are few who are able to give such help for the mass @f the people of Russia, Poland, parts of Roumania, Czecho-Blovakia and other countries are so poor that they have not necessaries for themselves. Consequently in the great area be- tween the Baltic, the Black and the Adriatic Seas, there are millions of cirfidren who face the next few years, and particularly the coming winter, without hope of proper care unless ountgide assistance is given them. Disease Prevalent. In addition to the unhappy con- dition of the children the adult popu- lations are in the direst of misery on aecount ef disease. Suffering has been accentuated by lack of food and clothing, nursing and medical atten- tion, and tuberculosis, smallpox, typhue and dysentery are continuing unchecked, sssified qeonverted into bone) the ime Aammatery action ceases and k ress disappears, except the enlarg ment be of sufficient size, or su 8 aaied that it irritates the suspen dgament or iay olv he joint.

Splint lameness usually appears very suddenly. 4 horse niay go perfectly sound and after a rest of a variable juration when taken out te drive again, may show the characteristic symptoms noted. The patient should be given per- test rest, and the seat of the splint should be showered with cold water frequently, or pounded ice kept to it tor @ few days. This will often be all 'hat i9 necessary. In other cases lameness is mere persistent, and it is seecessary to apply a blister. A blister nade of ome dram each of biniodide 2f mercury and cantharides mized #ith one oz. vaseline, and applied in ibe ordinary way will usually effect p eure. In some cases it is necessary to blister the second time (in about g month). In rare cases an operation hy a veterinarian is necessary. When lameness is not shown it is Prop.
