Motor Cars Threaten England's Peace

The prevalence of motor cars opens up
very awful vista in the future. Some
people cannot bear the sound of railways.
they dislike the din, rattle and dust. But
what is to be done with motor cars caus-
ing the same annoyance along every rural
road? No longer can children play in
country lanes, or the quiet pedestrians
gather wayside flowers: no longer can
the n9rsemaid go for stroll with the
man warm himself in the sunshine. The
whole of England will be one vast rail-

by shrill whistles and harsh rumbline
sounds. while the dust flies around in
clouds, binding and confusing those who
presume to attempt to admire the beau
ties Of nature.-London Sphere.

MAY WIN FAME AND FORTUNE.
Missouri School Girl Makes Important
Discovery in Mathematics,

p. :
Lebanon, Mo, Jan. IA Miss Ger.
trude Cutcheon, a member of the 1901
graduating class of the Lebanon high
school, is about to become famous in
the mathematical world. She has solv-
ed problem in geometry that no
scholar has ever solved before, one
which has puzzled the minds of many
a brainy person, and if she can sue
cessfully bring her problem to the at
tention of educators and mathematical
book publishers, she win not only
create a revolution in mathematics,
but will bring fortune to herself.
The solution which is about to give
her so much notoriety is simply tri-
secting an angle. 1t is such a simple
thing that theNininformed do not stop
to consider 1T, but when it is known
that this problem has never been solv-
ed before, it is surprising that this
village girl only IL years old should
give to the world what promises to be
of so much value. She is already in
with a leading educa-
tor of the state, who is assisting her in
placing her discovery with the pub
fishers, with a view to their handling
the solution on a royalty It is said
by those who are well posted that this
discovery will add new book to the
science of geometery and be of incal-
culable advantage to civil engineers
and surveying in general.

IOWA SURGEONS ARE AROUSED.
Claim County Physicians Are Getting
Commissions for Favors,

Des Moines, Jan. 14.-Prominent
surgeons of the state have entered on
a crusade against the practice of pay
ing commissions to county physicians
on fees earned by the surgeons in
cases sent to them by medical men in
the country and the smaller towns.
Leading Des Moines surgeons have
taken the matter up and are enlisting
the cooperation of surgeons of recog-
nized ability in other large cities of
Iowa. The outcome will undoubtedly
be bitter war between medical fac
lions.
The abuse is said to consist in the
fact that many unskilled practitioners
in the country and smaller towns on
meeting with cases in their practice
that require operations, send them on,
ly to such surgeons as will pay them
commission. 1t is alleged the sur
geons of most ability, who have so
large a practice that they can be in
dependent, refuse to pay the commits
sions. The result is the patients are
sent to men of little skill. who are
ready to pay the percentage providing
they are given the business.
1t is the intention then to spread
copies of letter thruout the state,
putting the public on it's guard and
creating sentiment that may lead to
the adoption of resolutions opposing
the practice. when the state medical
society meets next May. 1t is hoped
to secure bylaw making the penalty
on any member of the association
guilty of the practice, expulsion from
the state society,

SALT SAVES cHILp,s LIFE.
Practical Demonstration of Its curs..
tive Powers Shown,

Chicago, Jan. PA practicalqso i
onstration of the curative powaro
salt has just been made by DIR. A.,
Cotton of the( College of Physicians.
and Surgeons, and with its aid the ply
stefan has. he says, saved the life of
the 7-month-old daughter of Policeman
Michael Sullivan, of the Maxwell
street police station. The little one
had been given UP by another physi-
clan, who saw no hope of saving her
life. With last desperate hope OFF,
Ger Sullivan called in DR.. Cotton.
DR.. Cotton decided to make an at
tempt to save the little ones life with
the aid OF salt. The parents were con-
su;;ed by The doctor, who gave il as
his opinion that that was the last and
only resource at his command. Mr..
and Mrs. Sullivan c0nseA led to the.
ron'se OF freedmen. AMI an1iolisly
watched the outcome.
Common table salt and water was
the means used in saving the life
which then hung on a thread. One
pint OF solution was prepared and in
Jected into the stomach of the infant,
while smaller quantity was injected
in the region of the heart At the
time the baby was unconscious, and
in very low condition. This was
on Monday evening, and no visible
effects We're noticed, and on Tuesday
a second injection of salt and water
followed. A few hours later change
for the better was noticed The
fever went down, consciousness re-
turned and the pulse became normal
The turn for the better continued,
and the treatment has been kept up
each day, and the child is now almost
recovered

Sullivan today. We had given the
child up as lost and my wife was al
