Three Men Give Up Healthy Cuticlo TO Save
the Life Of Another.
Twoheroes inhumble life Friday even
ing barred their bodies to the surgeons
knife at the Samaritan hospital and al
lowed DR.. Little to take as much skin as
he needed to save the life of Henry Mill
man, A years. The names Of the two
men are Joseph Connell, % years, and
William Fricke, % years. This was the
Decond skin grating on Millman.
Eight weeks ago Henry Millman was
seriously burned by falling on stove in
q shanty at Eighth street and Allegheny
avenue: For time his life was despaired
of. He partially recovered euta surface
of about 40 square inches on his body
was almost burned to crisp. As the
ulcers did not heal, the doctors decided
to graft new skin over this large surface
of Millman's body. -
The sufferers younger brother, John
Millman, % years, volunteered to have
as much skin taken from his thigh as was
needed to cover the sore on his brothers
side and breast. About 60 square inche s
were required, and week ago the skin
from John Millman's thigh was grated
on his brothers side.
Speaking Of the skin grating, DR.. Les
ter said that it was the biggest thing of
| the kind ever done in the hospital, and
as the injured mans side was healing
there was ground for believing that the
second grating would be success.
Friday evening 20 square inches of
skin were taken from the left thighs of
Cornell and Fricke, IA inches being cut
from Fricke and from Connell. The
skin was transferred from the blade of a
carver by which twas removed direct to
Millman's body, on which is an exposed
( place Of about 10 square inches. Con-
nell and Fricke seemed quite cheerful
while their skin was being removed.
Both said that they were ready to sub
NIT to further SHINING whenever DR..
Little chose to complete the operation

No Blanks in this Competition.

This is a competition of rather an unusual
nature 1t IS common to offer prizes for the
best story, or picture, or architectural plan,
all the competitors risklng the loss of their
labor and the successful one merely selling
his for the amount of the prize. But the
Press Claims Compapy's offer is something
entirely different Each person is asked
merely to help himself, and the one who
helps himself to the best advantage is to be
rewarded for doing it. The prize is only q
stimulus to do something that would be well
worth doing It, The architect whose com.
petitive plan for club house on certain
corner is not accepted has spent his labor on
something of very little use to him. But the
person who patents simple and useful de.
vice in the Press Claims Companp's Compe-
tition, need not worry if he fail to secure the
prize He has substantial result to show
for his work-one That will command its yal-
ue in the market at any time
The plain man who uses any article in his
daily work ought to know better how to I'M
prove it than the mechanical expert who
studies it only from the theoretical point of
view. Get rid of the rid of the idea that an
improvement can be too simple to be worth
paienting. The simblcr the better. The
person who best succeeds in combining
simplicity and popularity, will get the Press
Claims Company's twenty five hundred dol
lars.
The responsibility Of this company may be
Judged from the fact that its stock is held by
about three hundred of the leading newspa-
pers of the United States.
