methods may be right, according to
the case. There are times when
the slightest excitement or noise or
confusion might be against the pa
TENTS recovery. Another patient
differently constituted might re-
quire something to distract his at
tention from himself.
AS rule, however, we believe the
deathly stiffness and the awesome
quietude of the sick-chamber do
more harm than good. We believe
If attendants would walk about in
the usual manner, speak to each
other, when necessary, in the usual
tones, address the patient as if
nothing serious was happening, it
would be better. A little diversion
properly contrived, in the vast ma
Jority of cases, would be better
than.abandoning the patient at the
critical moment to his own reaoc-
tions.

Corn Griddle Cakes.

Beat an egg light and add to it
a tablespoon of molasses and pint
of sour milk. Stir this into two
tablespoonfuls of sifted -four and
enough corn meal to make a thin
batter. 1t is better to pour the
milk, etc, on a cupful of meal first
add as much more as may be nee
essary. Add a tablespoonful of
melted lard, pinch of salt, have
the griddle hot and CREASED with :
bit of fat pork; when ready to bake
stir quickly into the batter a half
teaspoon of soda. The batter for
these cakes must be very thin; just
thick enough to turn. If too thick
they will taste raw. This can be
ascerta ned by trying a little; if
too thick, add little more milk
and sofia; if too thin, dust more
of meal. These are delicious when
properly made.

Which is Right?

During the course of many acute
ailments there comes the turning
point when the patient is liable to
have a period of sinking. The fever
has operated as a stimulant to tie
circulation. The sudden cessation
of fever removes this stimulant, and
the pulse goes low and the heart
presents signs of failing.
This is known as the sinking pc
Rod.
The Chinese are in the habit OF
treating this phase of disease by
making all sorts of noises. The
tom tom is resorted to-; people
shout, haze about, trying to excite
the attention of the patient.
Our people are in the habit of
doing exactly the contrary when
death threatens. Everything as
sumes a deadly stiffness. People
communicate in whispers. Tip
toeing takes the place of walking.
Nothing is done to distract the pa
TENTS attention. He is thrown alb
solutely upon his own psychology
cal resources.
Which is right?
Is it a good thing to allow a pa
tient at this critical moment to
fight the battle out alone with no
suggestion, no sound, to break in
upon the senses, or would it not be
better to do as the Cinnamon do,
make noises, hoping to arouse the
latent spark of energy the patient
may still possess? Which is the
best?
A writer in the Medical Brief
seems to take the side of the China
men in these matters. 1t would
appear that he regards the Chinese
method AS the best. This writer
states:
"a patient of mine had received
the last rites of the church, the
pulse had ceased at the wrist and
he had sunk into that coma which
precedes death. Some one in the
next house struck up the Anvil
Chorus from I'll Trovatore.' 1 was
very much annoyed and distressed,
and tried to stop it.
Suddenly the pulsation at the
wrist began again, the patient
gradually opened his eyes, motioned
to his sister. She bent low, and he
whispered in her ear: Tee dunn,
tee dee, that is my favorite tune

thing that can arouse the subcon-
scious, subliminal self will cure my
patient when all drugs fail, and
noise is a cheap agent"
In our opinion, either of these

thought thai within eighteen months
the road win be completed.

The advantages The new line viii

the jewellers along the road are beyond

president ROOSEVELT'S an
nOuncement that federal oficehold-
ers must stay away from the re-
publican national convention is very
interesting. The executive has said that
ne does not want pIaceholders, men who
are more or less indebted to him for
their livelihood. to help nominate him.
Now the question arises: How can there
be a republican national convention
without officeholders? From time i'm
memorial the bulk Of such conventions
has been made up Of men who draw
their support from the government.
This is true of every kind Of repub-
lican convention. city, county ard state,
as well as national. regardless Of the
often promulgated rule against such
practices. And it is hard to take Presi-
dent Roosevelt seriously in this matter.
No one who is familiar with the sit
uation doubts that every member OF
the Roosevelt cabinet, federal office
holders all, win be a delegate to the
convention if by hook or crook ne can
be elected.
With the example Of the heads Of
departments before them, are the un-
derIings to be blamed If they aspire to
be delegates? Besides has not Post
master-General Payne, in an IN
terview given since the presidential
Dronunciamento, said that there is moth
ing TO prevent oficehoIders from be-
coming delegates TO any conventions
The Payne statement may be taken rs
the final word on the subject. At least
lie Will be So taken and the postofice
employees wiz begin hustling for Roose-
Welt forthwith
It is entirely probable that Payne
made his talk after a conference with
Roosevelt, thus furnishing us another
example Of how the president talks ore
way ana permits his subordinates to
act another. II the executive had meant
what he said the Payne interview would
never have gone out.

RESERVOIR IS ASSURED.

THE state Of Utah is at last in fair
L way to become an early benefici-
AIRY Of the national irrigation law. As
a result OF the Unanimity Of sentiment
expressed at the meeting OF irrigators
held at Bingham Junction Wednesday.
Professor +. H Newell, chief OF the
governments reclamation service, has
announced that he viii strongly urge
the undertaking of the Utah lake pro-
jecJ. He believes there is every probs-
bility that the reservoir Will be begun
shortly and completed at an early date
a committee of seven was appointed
at the meeting TO harmonic all inter-
ests concerned and 10 arrange such de.
tails as viii be necessary to secure gov
eminent aid. The spirit Of the meeting
was evidenced by the applause that
greeted some OF those who spoke i'm
favor Of the undertaking. "Au 1 have
got to lose is my land, said H. c. Pet
eTson. and without water il is use
less" Another delegate declared that
il the government wanted q mortgage
on his property he stood ready to sign
The paper.
All the delegates seemed 10 under
stand thoroughly the great value Of
the scheme 70 themselves and TO the
state all Of them had become con-
WINGED that unless the offer of the gov
eminent was accepted it would be prac-
t:oally impossible to make productive
a vast area Of arid land in the salt
Lake valley. It is not surprising.
therefore, that when the vote was
taken on the question as to whether or
not the project should be endorsed there
was no dissenting voice. This is the
spirit that wins: this IS the only. way
by which government aid could be
secured.
There is plenty Of money in the arid
land fund that Is Immediately avail
able The Herald sincerely hopes that
the preliminaries may be agreed on
without unnecessary delay 70 the end
that the land to be benefited may be
brought under cultivation. And we be-
lieve that the success which win I'M

THE eARoM's wHisxEY.

IT Is BY no MEANS certain that this
writing win fall under the eye OF
the baron, but we would like him to
know that in our opinion the sympathy
of the civilized world should be his. The
baron we mean is Baron Won Hevde-
brand und-der-Lasa. who is domiciled
ia Apia, Samoa A recent issue OF the
Apia Gazette contains an official notice
from the chief OF police to ali dealers
in intoxieants not to sell the baron a
drop for a whole year.
From this we infer that the baron has
been drinking perhaps "a trihe more
than was good fer him. which is always
q nobleman's privilege. The chief OF
police had no right to interfere. Bar
ons, counts. dukes, lords and all that
sort Of folks are made out Of a shade
better clay than the rest of as. They
are therefore entitled 10 the privilege
of drinking themselves TO death speed
ily if they so desire. At least that IS
the view taken. of the matter by the
Prussian nobility.
A telegram from Berlin says the no.
bility there is outraged. We are told
that the gentlemanly tipplers compos-
ing it are preparing a round robin TO
The emperor asking him to compel the
Apian chief 10 rescind his order. The
emperor viii doubtless take the action
suggested for he viii remember that
he himself is not fashioned Of common
clay. And he should permit Won Hey
i.stas Il
Iintoxicants. If the noble-born viii only
do al the drinking the plain people win
shortly come into their own.

TO indicate that the police are taking
any precautions whatever to prevent
some Of Johnson's friends from taking
Burns beyond the Jurisdiction Of the
court, which would mean the utter col
lapse Of the prosecution. 1t would

police should have taken charge of
Burns at the outset. They should have

SILVER AS a egRmIc,og.

QUITE BY ACCIDENT French
= scientist has mace discovery tbaf
may result in great benefit to humanity.
Dr.. Rollin OF Lyons attempted to Guilt
vate some microbes in a bouillon which
he placed in silver bowl After g suf-
ficieHt length of time for them to multi
ply exceedingly had elapsed Dr. Rollin
examined the bouiiIon and found, to MS
great surprise, that all OF his precious
microbes had peri5hed. The same class
Of microbes multiplied Indefinitely
when placed in another vessel.
Dr.. Reboul, a Parisian thinking over
the experience of DR.. Rollin. came 10
the conclusion that The silver had done
the damage. If silver would destroy
microbes in natural culture medium,
such as boUinon, why could It rot be
applied to the treatment of wounds7
Or. RebOul promptly began some exper-
iments. over an liberated tuBor he
placed a thin sheet of silver. holding it
iu place by means Of q little cotton
soaked IN collodion.
The result was gratifying beyond Dr.
Ecaoul's highest hopes. The tumor
healed quickly without suppuration and
without the slightest disag reeable re-
suits. The same effect was produced
by the use Of the silver plate on fresh
wounds, and DIT. Reboul is satisfied thar
the metal contains great aRtiseptic
properties. The theory is borne out BY
a physician who counted the number
.of microbes found on pieces Of money.
His calculations showed @that silver
money contained or an average only
one-f1fth IS many disease germs as
gold, and 100 times fewer than copper
pieces. This. too, IN spite Of the fact
that silver circuiates much more freely
than either gold or copper.
