Of the SUMS rays upon minute parti-

drive the light through the icy bank,

Extreme Destitution.

Destitution such as to necessltate
prompt and generous relief is said to
exist in Ozark county a mountainous
region near the Arkansas line. So
complete is the famine there as a re-
suit Of the long continued drouth, it
is reported, that some unfortunate
families are sustaining life on what
the woods furnish, such as acorns and
in that locality, and the corn crop
has always been the chief source Of
sustenance among the poorer noun
taineers. This year the corn persisted
in the tassel and whole fields failed to
yield even bushel Of nubbins. The
cattle and hogs had to be sold in the
latter part of the summer because Of
a lack Of feed for wintering them, and

try stripped of live stock as never be-

now arrangements which have broad
cned the scope of the lunch room work
aud which therefore offer more benefit
to the self supporting girls of the
community appeal to every person in

1t was mentioned that the proposed
plans would make the lunch room self
supporting and assist a greater num-
Der than before, besides being the
source of Increased income for other
expenses. This was in no sense a crit
icisn of the work us carried on by Mrs.

faithful and devoted superintendent of

ton of affairs for these were controlled
entirely by the board. whose orders
she carried out with the best possible
results. 1t Is only recently, however,
that the board has decided to enlarge
the work and introduce the improve
ments, the outcome of which is as yet
unknown. During her term of office
Mrs. Knapp made the best possible use
of the means at her command and em-
ployed the greatest discretion in her
financial management. With superior
facilities the ltncl-roOm might have
been even more important an adjunct
to the work than it has been. Mrs.
knapp's most valuable service was as
much in her gentle beautiful influence
over the many girls who came into con-
tact with her as in any other respect.
She touched them on many sides and
they loved her like a dear mother. In
its larger work the success which

appropriation of funds and wider
reaching out no one will fill just the
pleasant place in the hearts of the

Pus Without Bacteria.

DR.. Karl Freibich. in the Wiener klinischt
WochcnsChrift of June l3, 1901, in paper upon
the above subject, calls attention to the fact
that non.bactcrial pus has been observed in the
lower animals. in whom absccss cavities having
such pus were produced by the injection OF
ascptc chemicals. The occurrence OF non.bac'
torial pus in aseptic stitch assesses is also
significant. The author produced these pustucs
from croton oil applications, sixty.onc Of which
were minus bacteria. Iltrpctic vcsc'es Ucvcr

concludes that the formation OF pnS is not
necessarily due to germs.
That the author is perfectly right in his h"
lief is conclusivclr demonstrated by the Foch.

simply in inducing local assesses by the sub
rutancous injection of oil Of turpentinc. a
number OF eases thus treated are reported by
DR.. Van TclburG Hoffman, of Sumter. S. c..
in the Virginia Medical Sem. Monthly OF March
S, 1901. But the occurrence OF suppuraton
without germs was observed and remarked as
far back as 1885. by Lieut.. in paper before tho
Brooklyn Pathological s,ciety. entitled ION
the Pathology of Surgical Infection and the
Value Of AntiscpsiS,' in which it wls contend
