Verify, the memory of man is of
short duration! He cannot even re-
member, for certainty, when "Ground
Hog Day" comes. That is, the majority
of the men asked concerning it, last
Saturday, were unable to state Just
when, though they knew there used to
be theory or fable that left some
impression on their minds. But there
were few who came close to it, in
fact that "hit the nail on the head"
when they said that Saturday was
Ground Hog day. And what is the
significance? Why, simply that we
are .going to have six weeks more of
winter weather, for Mr.. Ground Hog
came forth from his winter quarters,
saw his shadow, and hustled back
again to sleep until st. Patrick's day.
But Mr.. Sage, of the crop service, sand
"he had never realized that the gre und
hog was running the weather, and he
would not blame the little fellow, nor
be at all surprised if after a long sleep
in warm bed, he ducked back again
after taking sniff at the cold morning
air, whether the sun was visible or not.

SALT WATER BLOOD.
An Operation That Is the Saving OF
Many Human Lives

Many Human Lives.
Transfusiop of blood is a procedure
that must have been employee ply
sicians in very early times. ovid tells
of AIedea bringing back youth to the
aged by the injection into their veins
of the blood of young men, and doubt
less the same means was employed by
physicians for less fantastic objects.
The injection of the blood of one per-
son into the veins of another was until
recently done TO save life after severe
hemorrhage and In various forms of
blood poisoning. Sometimes a direct
communication was made between the
veins of the donor and of the recipient
by means of tube. At other times the
healthy subject was bled into bowl
and the blood was beaten to remove
the flbrin before 1t was passed into the
blood vessels of the patient.
The procedure is a dangerous one,
however. although many lives have
been saved by 1t, and it has now been
almost entirely abandoned, a much
safer plan being used.
1t Is found that the blood when de-
fibrinated is no longer a living fluid,
and the corpuscles II contains serve no
useful purpose when injected. but rath-
er act rs foreign matter which must be
got rid of. Accordingly physicians now
use distilled water In which a definite
proportion of common salt and other
chIcrides have been dissolved This so
lutioL is warmed and Is injected slow.

Often it is not even necessary to pour
the iu!d into vein. but simply to in

reedles into the tissues beneath the
skin of the abdomen or the thigh.
This is done not only to supply an
equivalent for fluid lost in hemorrhage
or cholera but also I'm certain diseases
In which blood poisoning exists. In
this latter case large amount of fluid
is injected slowly. and being taken up
by the blood is aImoFs im.n ediately
excreted through the Kidneys. carrying

blood was unable TO rid itself of I'M

This operation has been felicitously
called blood washing" for this Is
what It really is, and to the process hui
