has held responsible for the UNI
healthy condition that has exist

principles in city government he
took the lead, and although he adj

The Emergency Cupboard.

In every house where there are
children there should be a remedy cup
board. l do not mean the ordinary
medicine chest. with innumerable bot
ties huddled together, but a we'll
stocked emergency cupboard, easy of
access, and containing simple RENE
dies for the many aches and pains of
childhood. No household is conducted
without an occasional accident and a
bruise; a burn or an ugly cut are all
of frequent occurrence where there are
children. If there is a place where
one can always find some soft medi-
Gated cotton. bandages of different
widths, absorbent gauze and a bottle
Of some antiseptic solution, it will
prevent the frantic running about
when such articles are needed. and
save to the little sufferer many throbs
of pain. To be thoroughly satisfac-
tory, the emergency cupboard must be
kept in perfect order and systematical-
ly arranged. For instance, in one
compartment keep the everyday rene
dies for coughs and colds. such as
quinine, listerine. for gargling, Group
kettle, atomizer and a compress and
flannel bandages.
The best treatment for bruise is
to apply soft cloths wet with hot
water, and if the confusion is very
painful little laudanum may be added
to the water. To extract a splinter
from a child's hand, fill wide-mouthed
bottle half full OF very hot water and
place its mouth under the injured spot.
If little pressure is used the steam
in few moments will extract the
splinter. Before bandaging cut
wash it thoroughly with some anti
septic solution. When it is perfectly
clean bring the edges together and
hold the place with warm strips of
adhering plaster. Leave a space be-
tween them for the escape of blood,
and apply dressing of absorbent
gauze. When the wound is entirely
healed the plaster may be easily re-
moved by moistening at first with al
cohol. The stinging pain of super
fetal burn may be instantly allayed
by painting with flexible collodion
white of egg or mucilage. If the skin
is broken apply a dressing of boracic
acid ointment or vaseline.-Trained

THE TREE THAT OWNS ITSELF.
Deed Concerning an Oak Recorded by
Colonel jackson, at Athens, Ga.

Deed Concerning an Oak Recorded by
Colonel jackson, at Athens, Ga.
"Athens, Ga, has one remarkable
tree" said Congressman Tate, of thet
State. This is tree which is a
property holder. The records at the
County Court House shows deeds con-
veying the tree and all the land
within eight feet of it to the tree.
"It is a magnificent oak, and seems
to stand straighter and hold its head
more proudly than any of the trees
around it. Certainly it is ranked
above the common trees of the world,
for it cannot be touched against its
will. that is, if the conditions Of the
deed are carried out.
"The facts are these: Many years
ago Colonel w. H. Jackson owned tie
land upon which the tree stands. He
had watched the tree grow from its
childhood, and grew to love it al
most as he would human being. Its
luxuriant foliage and sturdy branches
had often protected him from the sun
and the rain, and from its branches
he had taken from the nests the eggs
of the feathered songsters.
"Colonel Jackson watched its growth
and when he saw it standing in its
magnificent proportions, he was panied
to think that after his death il might
fall into the hands OF people who
would destroy it. Believing that the
only way to save the tree from the
axe of the woodsman was to deed the
tree to itself, he did so, having a deed
recorded in the Clerks office. witness,
Ing that, for and in consideration OF
the great love bear said tree giving

said tree be protected for all the time.

Mrs Edwin Gould is as fond of

famed relative, the Count de Castel-

regard on the occasion of a recent
visit to New Orleans during the mardi

New Orleans is the mecca for rich
southerners who are on the outlook
for old-time furniture. The French
people have many valuable articles
dating back to the pre-Napoleon Pc

rare pieces can be got in the old creole
town.

to appreciate this opportunity, and she
spent much of her time shopping.

It is a curious thing that hospital
nurses should be i'll fed, but they often
are, and in many institutions. This is
not intended for an accusation, but
merely an inquiry into a state of
things which many people who know
about the workings of hospitals. most
especially nurses in training, will
echo, asking. Why? Possibly the
reason that insufficient and unhy-
gienic food is too often the rule may
be looked for in the fact that formerly
sisters looking for hardships were the
only ones who gave themselves over
to these tasks of mercy.
Fasting was part of the business Of
women who nursed the sick in the old
days, and possibly the notion uncon-
sciously that fasting is good thing
for women who bend over beds of
pain. Whittier expressed this notion
in the poem of the angels of Buena
VISTA" the noble Mexican women"
went about on the field Of battle after
the fight, worn and faint and lacking
food"
1t is poetic, romantic. in the old
fashioned way, but it is not bit mod
ern, sustaining or comfortable. A
hungry woman as an angel of mercy Is
not considered scientific. or even a
practicable, adjunct Of q modern bat
tlefield. When the Cuban war began
the surgeon-general- of the army
warned the unframed horde of women,
moved by sentiment or emotion. who
wanted to go to Cuba as nurses to
stay away. Only Clara Barton's mod
ern sort of angels of mercy who knew
enough to keep themselves nourished
on short but wholesome rations with
out making fuss about it were al
lowed service. and these were in the
disciplinary service of the Red Cross.
System is the very open secret of the
success of that organization; hospit-
ais in times of peace and in cities are
of course run on system also, but it is
a system that lacks organization on
the food question.
1t is really uueer that nurses in
training, of all people, should not be
fully and properly nourished. If for
10 other reason than to give them OBJ
ject lessons in hygienics. To be hun
gary all of the time that she finds
herself obliged to recruit her forces
by pieces of food left upon the pa
tents' trays of extra-nourishing viands
is not good discipline, physical ormen-
tai, for the girls of today who are
studying in hospitals are of the most
useful of the modern professions for
