WOOSTER, March 2l.-Last December Arthur
IaWney, a school teacher of Reedsburg, this
county, was playfully pushed of the school
steps by one of his pupils In falling TaWney
struck step, and his spinal column was
fractured at the base. He suffered great pain,
and during the past three months resorted 70
large doses of morphine for relief. His left
leg became partially paralyzed and his re-
covery was doubtful.
AS a last resort an operation was decided
upon, and to-day the four lower segments, or
coecyx, of his spinal column, where the tract
ure was located, were taken out. Inc pones
were found to be decaying. The operation,
although dangerous one, and very rarely per
formed was successful, and the patient is re-
covering and is free from pain.

mental and physical powers, which can
only be supplied the use of food acted
upon through the laws Of digestion and

of all nutritious food during Lenten fast
would be violation Of the laws OF physical
life and hygiene, which cannot in toto be
trespassed upon with impunity. However,

the Lenten fast, as Instituted by the Savior
of mankind, is s,carried out In keeping with
the original design by prayerful and con-
scientious minds and hearts 1t will inure to

this fast Is too wise to err and too good to
impose any. duty on man but what will end
both in his spiritual and physical develop
