The Useful Hairpin.

elf you need hairpin just ask
the doctor for 1t when he comes
around" said a man who keeps
in touch with the medical nrofes-
sion, ':and the chances are that
you will get what you want. He
might not have one, but he is Just
as apt as not to have it. You see,
Philadelphia physician has sud-
denly found that the hairpin is a
very useful thing in surgery, and
and has commended its use to the
profession generally. This article
of the feminine toilet he SAYS can
be put to many uses, and the fact
that Its almost universal presence
brings it in touch With every
emergency adds much to its value.
He argues that the hairpln is easily
sterillzed. it is convenient in size,
and can be bent and twisted into
almost any shape. Besides they
are very cheap. If ii should be-
come necessary to use the hairpip
in connection with an infectious or
contagious case of any sort, why,
the thing can be thrown away. 1t
is cheap, and the loss is small.
The straight hairpin may be used
to pin on badges, or to remove
foreign bodies from any natural
passage, or as a cuvette for scrap
ing away soft material. or TO com
press a blood vessel in stopping a
or to close wound,
and for variety of other purposes.
1t can be used as a probe when
out. 1t can be used
to wire bones together in case of
fracture. 1t can be used III actual
when heated to redness In
a flame. The physician who reas
ons thus hopefully and cnthuslas
tically about the hairpin insists
hat it may do service as nasal
speculum, surgical needle, in
,racheotomy, to maintain al OPEN
ng until the proper tube can be
obtained, or to bring the edges of
wound together, and so forth
md so on. Of course all physi-
;ians do not use hairpins for the
purposes Indicated. But 1t is a
act that many physicians have
lsed them In cases Of emergency
II one or the other of the ways in
licated. So | say if you need
'airpin ask your physician for it,
or he might have a few stored
way in a snug place in the satchel
e CARES around With him. -

HIS NEMESIS STRANGE FATE
BefalIs Daughter Of 9
Retired Chemist.

Toledo, Aug. IL. - Miss Dorothy
Stiles. the daughter Of VIM. stiles, a
retired chemist, formerly of Columbus.
Ohio, is dying at the home of her
father, seven miles south Of Bay City,
Mich, with a disease that has baffied
any physician called in to attend her
The girl is 16, and until few months
ago was In perfect health. Her body
is slowly turning into marble or n
substance resembling 1t.
The afIliction first seized the girl at
the shoulder blades, hips and feet, and
has been slowly eating its way through
the body. Her family at first believed
that 1t was merely stiffening Of the
Joints and would wear away, but when
one night while bathing the girl found
that her heels we're perfectly white
and as hard as stone and called her
mothers attention to the fact the lat
ter was thoroughly terrified. On ex-
amining the girls body she found
that both heels, the tips of her shoul-
der blades and her hips were similar
ly affected.
Physicians were called in, although
every effort was made to keep the
matter secret. and the doctors were
unable to account for the condition,
which has now spread until both legs
above the ankles are turned to mar
BILE. The hips Of the afflicted girl
have no longer the power to bend.
and the power of action has been TAX
en- from the shoulders. She says she
suffers no pain. Bits of the hard sub
stance were Clipped off the body and
sent by her father for analysis and
were pronounced pure marble.
The doctors say that death must en-
sue within a few months at the lat
est and scout the theory regarding
the matter put forth by the girls al
most demented father. He says he
was experimenting with some drugs in
the bathroom and used the bathtub
for the purpose and neglected to
properly cleanse 1t. The same night
the daughter took bath in this tub
and the father insists that the chem
icals have produced the terrible dis
ease.
No visitors are now admitted to the
Stiles house, and the girl takes no
nourishment but liquids, and those
with difficulty.

Of Death Hovers Over
Fated Family.
A STERN VENGEANCE
FoiIowsa,Nioiation Of Natures
Ban on lntermarriage -
Fous Children Dead, An
other Slowly Dying.

Toledo, Aug. 10. - For the second
time In two weeks and the fourth
time in two months. death has en-
tered the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Chas.
Strum, of Nevada street. In that
length Of time the husband and wife
d. in question have lost four of their
little children. Another lies at the
point of death at st. vlncent's hos
pital.
What makes the story the more
striking is the diagnosis of the at
tending physicians. They say that
death resulted In each case from ty-
phoid fever which developed into tu-
berculosis.
But stranger still Is the alleged rea-
son, why four In one family should
be so cut off in the beginning Of
life.
The physicians, 1t is declared, made
the discovery that the husband and
wife we're first cousins. The theory
that intermarriage of blood relatives
tended toward the birth OF weak and
sicxly children has been secuted time
and again, but the Stfum family case
seems to be another decisive argumcn,
for the many who maintain that the
theory Is true.
The fact that four are dead and ono
is dying in this sanio family seems
proof most grim.
1t was Alfred. ngcd g, who died
yesterday at the hospital. lie had
been Ill some time with TYPHOID fever
which as said above developed into tu-
berculosls. Not over two weeks age
another died. Last June two others
died, and it Is said IT, be only ques-
ton of time when the one who now
lies dying will pass away.
The funeral cervices over the re-
mains OF little Alfred were held at
o'clock yesterday from the Grace Re-
formed church, at the corner Of ray
mouth and NasDy streets. 1ntermen,
was made In Willow cemetery.
There now rcmairs of the recently
large family only the parents and one
daughter. who Is at the hospital.

AUDITORS
Interested in Decision
Rendered in Test
Salary Suit.

London. o., Aug. 13. - A decision
Of ggreat interest to every county au-
ditor in Ohio was received by Clerk
Of the Court G.. w. Crabbo from Judge
Newly, of Hillsboro. The style of the
case brought in this county and ar
gued before Judge Newly recently is
b. A. Taylor, auditor, VS.. the board
of commissioners of Madison county,
to mandamus the latter in the judg-
ment of Mr.. Taylor's bill for salary.
The suit was brought at the request
of State Auditor Guilbert and the
state auditors association with the
purpose of having the question de-
cided whether or not Auditor Taylor
was to draw his salary under the old
law taking the population as basis,
or the new law which went into effect
May IL, 1902 and provides that the au-
dltors of Ohio shall figure their sal
aries the same as the treasurer's, a
per cent of the tax duplicate.
The county commissioners refused
to pay Mr.. Taylor his salary after the
passage Of the new law, and as a re-
suit the suit was brought In his
decision Judge Newly holds that the
official pay of county auditors provid-
ed by section 1869, revised statutes, as
IT, stood prior to the amendment
thereof on May 12,1902, is not salary
within the meaning of that term as
used in section 20 of article of the
constitution Of Ohio, and consequent,
ly law changing the amount or the
mode of determining such pay will ap,
ply to auditors in Office at the time
such law goes into effect. County au
ditors noy draw compensation under
section 1869, as amended May IL.
