HOW TO TREAT CHILBLAINS.
Taken in the larry Stage They
May Bc I;aslI, Arrested
and Cured.

A %chilblain is a disorder of the
deeper skin, and is due to alterations
in the local blood circulation. The
simplest form OF chilblain is nothing
more than a congestion of the capilla-
ries, the circulation being congestcd by
BLOCKING in one or two of these yes
sells. The degree of severity is in pro-
portion to the number Of the vessels
involved, says American Queen.
The sensation is an irritativc Itch
ing. Often a blister is formed as "A
result of friction, but so far there Is
no inflammation. The white cells OF
the blood migrate from the vessels as
water drops from a porous pipe. The
highest degree of severity is suppura-
tive inflammation, or the formation of
pus. Rupture of "A chilblain is not
dangerous, but the greatest care should
be eXertcd to prevent a bad sore, which
Is likely to follow a ruptured skin.
Chilblains are not peculiar to the
feet alone. They may appear on any
part of the body. They are seldom
seen on parts of the body where the
circulation is good. They usually APP
pear on the ears, hands. feet and nose.
AS has been said before the cause of
chilblains is due to bad circulation;
other causes are deficient exercise. or
insuficiently warm clothing.
In a mild state the trouble may be
arrested by friction with cold water
or snow. which frees the congested
vessels. On the contrary, an early
stage of chilblain can be successfully
treated by gradual heating, Place the
afflicted part In cold water and allow
the temperature to rise slowly. either
by adding boiling water or by "A lamp
below the tub, until n high degree Is
hot as can be borne. Avoid a sudden
lowering of the body as OOn as the
part Is removed from the water,
When a chilblain is of long stand
ing, a very good treatment is as fol-
lows: Capsicum or camphor for re-
storing the circulation; a soothing ap-
plicatiOn, as menthol. cocaine or
opium: contraction OF dilated vessels.
as by belladonna. Some authorities
prescribe a decoction of walnut leaves
for application in the early stages.
Walnut leaves made into q paste with
hot water are used with success for
alcerated chilblains. IOdoform. nap
tkol and vaseline in equal parts make
An ointment that is considered excel-
lent for chronic forms Of the disorder.

It will be something to see the Rus

It will be only after some desperate and
spectacular fighting, in which 1t is by no
means sure that the Russians will have
all the advantage. Behind entrench-
ments, there Is o much choice be-
tween them. In the open field the Jap
lnese should be victorious, other things
being equal, because of their astonish-
ing mobility. They will go around
the Russians very much as the cooper In
the old adage went around his barrel.
But after that. what ? Admiration OF
the japanese is unavoidable for one who
has seen them In active service, but one
who has seen the Russians will never
forget the impression of mass they give.

yourself. SO Eva waited and Girted and
firted and waited.
One fine September morning a new
man appeared in town. He wore a broad
trimmed. high hat, corduroy trousers. and
flannel shirts. He was not like the other
men of Eva's acquaintance, and she no
ticed him on that account. When she
heard that he was staying at the best
hotel in town and smoking 25-cent cigars
without number, she condescended 10
make inquiries. She found the name on
the register to be Jim Brooks, Stag Sta
tion, Mont. Eva was Interested. A west
ern scalp had never dangled from her
belt. She asked Reggie Hill, who had a
slight acquaintance with the stranger,
Tor an introduction.
Well" said Reggie, who was still sore
over Eya's rejection of his suit. "Ill try
to manage it, but-this is In strict rom
Ndence, mind-he doesn't want to be
bothered with social affairs and allthat,
you know. He's just rotten with money
owns half a dozen big ranches out there
somewhere. Doesn't look the million
aire, does he? He is. though, but he's
here incog for a rest"
"I'll promise not to tell" replied Eva,
eagerly. But bring him up to the house
tonight. Reggie. can't you? III see that
no one else is there, II he does not care
for society Just now"
Reggie's hat brim hid the fash in his
eyes as he promised to do the best he
could.
Eva spent the rest OF the day plan.

ASKS THEM TO
BE CONSIDERABLE.
A Remarkable Paper by DR..
Am.Ss--Tells Brethren t,
Call Him Down.

In the Christian Advocate of this week
there appears rather noteworthy article
from the pen Of the Rev. Joseph Ell
Amss, D. D., presiding elder of the Dan
vile Circuit, dealing with some matters
OF very decided interest in connection
With the coming conference, which meets
early in next month in Charlottesville.
DR.. Amiss discusses the conduct of the
preachers at the conference, and makes
certain suggestions. He says he Is fully
convinced that bad feeling amongst the
members of the conference Is exaggerated.
Warmth in debate intellectual excite
ment in discussion, is mistaken by those
not accustomed to such things for per-
scnal nnimosity and bitterness OF feeling.
DR.. Amss declares. however, that there
is still room for more courtesy and kind
ness In discussion and some other pro-
ceedngs of the body With view to
bringing about this desired change lls
proposes that certain resolutions looking
to harmony be adopted unanimously. III
closing he says:
"And l want to say now. If any brother
hears me utter a word. or sees me per-
form any act during the conference, in
conflict with the spirit or terms of this
paper, want him to call me down, and
will thank him for It..
