THURSDAY EVENING,
fantry division of 21.000 men requires
6,200 horses.
Continuing, the report reads:
"The horses of a division are taken
care of by twelve veterinary officers
one mobile veterinary section of tewn
ty-seven men. which attends to the
horses in the firing line.
"There is one Canadian field hospi
tal in France composed of three hun
dred and eighty-seven men and six
officers. It has a capacity of one thou
sand cases, and the work which is
done there is really remarkable.
Horses, which in previous wars and in
civilian life, would be destroyed at
once, are treated so successfully that
in due course they become fit for mili
tary duty in the firing line. It is in
teresting to note that of six hundred
and seven horses sent in on one occa
sion, only twelve died. Five hundred
and ninety-five eventually became fit
for reissue, or to be sold as casts for
easy duty.
"The men work under the most try
ing conditions, often exposed to the
lire of rifle and big gun. They are up
around the lines all the time gathering
in wounded horses; their horseman
ship is remarkable. Wonaded horses
are immediately given first aid. Any
horse that can walk is rushed back to
the mobile section, or field hospital,
his wounds are carefully treated and
every care given him.
"During the second battle of Ypres. |
when the Candians were pressed to
their utmost, at no time was the sup
ply of horses diminished at the firing
line. As casualties occurred among
battery and transport horses, rein
forcements were rushed through the
storm of bursting shells to take their
places. Although our guns were with
in three hundred yards of the enemy,
there never was a wagon or a gun lost,
in what Is known as one of the fiercest
engagements that has taken place in
this war.
Wounds Heal Fast
"Horse's wounds heal more rapidly
than a man's. Cases of horses with
ten bullets in them have been known
to report complete recovery within a
very few weeks. In fact, some wound
ed horses have been back In the firing
line within a week. If a horse cannot
walk, however, he is usually consid
ered a hopeless case, and must be de
stroyed. These horses aftd those
which are killed outright, are thrown
to one side, during an engagement and
buried after.
"In the hospitals, cases are divided
into contagious diseases and wounded.
The hospitals are absolutely modern in
every respect. Great care is taken to
avoid putting the horses to undue
pain. Animals are seldom operated on
without chloroform. To date only 10
per cent, of the Canadian horses at the
front have succumbed and very few
of these died from disease. Most of
them are killed in battle.
"Doctoring a horse is no simple
matter. There are over four hundred
diseases to which a horse is subject.
As he cannot tell you how he Is feel
ing it is very difficult to diagnose his
case. The Canadian veterinarians
show great skill in this respect. They
use active principal drugs and they
have also developed to a high degree
the use of serums.
"It is interesting to note the war
horses' diet; they are fed three times
a day and get an allowance of eigh
teen pounds of hay, twelve pounds of
oats, eight pounds of straw, or in lieu
of this, four pounds extra hay and two
pounds oats, or any other fodder pro
curable of equal "food value; malt,
sugar beet, vegetables, etc. The Cana
dian horses are rolling in fat since
they have been in France."
The proper place to derive the best
piano value is at Spangler's, Sixth,
above Maclay.—Advertisement.

Sore Throat Don'ts.
When the children have sore throat,
don't blister their necks with lamp oil.
Don't torture them with a foul smelling
piece of fat meat, wrapped about the neck.
Don't imagine there is medical virtue in
an old sock or piece of red flannel. Don't
believe in antiquated superstitions.
A sore throat is a serious matter and is
not to be healed by such make-believe rem
edies. The use of such methods is
simply putting the patient to need
less torture. Use a little sore throat
wisdom and give them TONSILINE |,|
and the throat will heal quickly. |jl

women are not subject to such acute
analysis on the part of their visitors;
and, considering the matter. I have
come to the conclusion that it is be

AND EDDIF COY
Comedy and drama will likely vie for
honors iti the sterling new Triangle
program that will be exhibited at the
Colonial to-day to remain there for the
rest of the week. The comedy is taken
care of by such an artist as Eddie Fo.v.
and he will have the support of a big
array of Triangle funsters in present
ing "Tlie Favorite Fool." The dramatic
attainments of Frank Keenan are ad
mirably exploited in a masterpiece, a
Civil War drama entitled. "The
Coward." Once in a decade comes a
play fashioned according to the classic
model of great characters, straightfor
ward unity of plot, terrific emotional
power, true to life and art. Such, say
many who have seen it in New York,
Philadelphia and Chicago is Thomas H.
Inee's new Civil War play, "The Cow
ard." The scenes of "The Coward" are
laid in the Valley of Virginia In 18tit.
The story is that of a prideful father,
a type like Coriolanus or Spartacus.
and a weak, timid son of the Hamlet
like type.—Advertisement.

To-day for the last time we present

her best in "The Galley Slave." Tt is
a photoplay of trenchant power and
virility featuring the most discussed
woman on the shadow stage. Miss I
Bara is a warm friend of Isadora j
Duncan, the famous classical dancer. ;
and it is from her that she learned i
the lithe, slmuous movements charac
teristic of the vampire-woman.
"My idea has always been." said
Miss Bara, "that the gestures and walk |
of a person must be influenced by
their character. My idea of this wo
man is that she is pantlierish in her
pose and action as well as in mind.
Fnder the tuition of my friend. Miss
Duncan. I think I have gained the ef
fect I desired to obtain, that a wo
man cruel and calculating, fascinat
ing her victim, as a cat fascinates Its
j prey, her movements which in a meas
ure reflect her nature."
