Mr.. w. II. Horton, yard engineer
here, returned Saturday from Balti-
more where he went about two weeks
before to have an operation performed
for the removal of a large tumor
which had formed on the muscle of
his left forearm. 1t was feared that
an amputation would be necessary,
and Mr.. Horton was assured that if
he had neglected the matter much
longer he would have lost his arm
DIR. Cheatham had told him the trou-
bic was of serious nature and
advised that he have it attended to
sooner, but he kept putting it off
until it was almost too late. How
ever, the operation was performed
successfully and Mr.. Horton is now
on the road to recovery.
1t was very unusual operation,
though not dangerous or difficult
one, and excited great deal of in
terest among the staff of hospital
surgeons at Johns Hopkins.

Beautiful Work of Art.

usual merit We asked who the artist
was. Upon being told that it was

prised at the remarkable talent dis
played by one so young.
The painting is 24x4 feet and rep
resents Romeo and Juliet and is a
beautiful and faithful portrayal Of
these famous characters. 1t is an
exquisite piece of work and would re-
fleet credit on one of older years and
wider experience.

NOT ALWAYS UNDERSToO D.

A fact often overlooked, or not always

from distressing kidney and bladder

ease or Inconvenience manifested the kid

is often, by mistake. attributed to female
weakness or womb trouble of some sort.

easily avoided by setting urine aside for
twenty-four hours; sediment or settling

need doctoring. If you have pain or dull
aching in the back, pass water too fire.

When nation has become involved
in war, the supreme duty of all citi-
zens is to rally to the supported the
Government, to the end that the
struggle upon which it has entered
may be brought to an early and sue
cessful conclusion. There is room
for no discussion now except such As
relates to the ways and means for
most quickly striking down the pub
lie enemy and compelling him to sue
for peace. Whatever sacrifices may
be required from us we should make
cheerfullv. Mothers must be pre-
pared to part with their sons, wives
with their husbands. and children
with their fathers. However greatly
we may have differed in the past, As
to the necessity or wisdom of an ap-
peal to the arbitrament of arms. we
must sink our differences now.
