Cause of Lockjaw.

Lockjaw, or tetanus, is caused by a bacillus or germ which exists plenti- fully in street dirt. It is inactive so long as exposed to the air, but when carried beneath the skin as in the wounds caused by percussion caps or by rusty nails, and when the air is excluded the germ is reused to activ- ity and produces the most virulent poison known. These germs may be destroyed and all danger of lockjaw avoided by applying Chamberlain's Pain Balm freely as soon as the in- jury is received. Pain Balm is an antiseptic and causes cuts. bruises and like injuries to heal without matura- tion and in one third the time requir- ed by the usual treatment.

CALIFORNIA sANDsToRM
An Experience on the Molave Desert Dur.
 in1 an AWfui storm

Mir. and Mrs. William Barrows, Al Sikes, George Mescaf and two others, while coming across the desert from Las Vegas, Nev., were overtaken sixty miles out from Daggett by a furious sandstorm, which for forty eight hours blew perfect hurricane, subjecting the parties to terrible ex- perience. The sharp-pointed parti- cles beat upon them as though from a blast furnace. The canvas which they used as a shield, was riddled, and the skin on their hands and faces was cut until it bled.
 While plunging, one of the horses was maimed, and falling with bro- ken leg, was smothered to death. Met calf got out of the wagon to cut the harness from the dying animal, and while groping his way back to the wagon, lost his way. Only the how'll ing of his dog saved him. By it he located his party. His face was terri ply lacerated by the sand during the short time he was exposed.
 During the height of the storm the party could not see more than a foot away. Before it struck them, it re- sembled great bank of sand, loom ing high in the air, an almost perfect ly straight line forming the top of the embankment. As the storm enveloped them, the winnings of the horses were pitiful, each particle of the sand strik ing them with the sting of pinthrust.
 After standing the force of the blow for several hours, the canvas over the wagon was riddled with holes, and the prospectors got out blankets to shield themselves, but even through these the sand pelted.
 Old prospectors report that this was the heaviest sandstorm they ever knew. During the time that it ragged the appearance of many sections of the desert was completely altered, high sand hills that had stood as landmarks for years being leveled or borne miles away. Trails were com. pletely obliterated, and the county and government signboards were blown down and completely lost.

RECENT LITERATURE.

Pearsons' Magazine for March is its
fifth anniversary number, and is far and
away the best yet published.
The high-lights OF the March Century
are fiction, personal interest and topics
relating to trade.
The March number of Scribner's is, as
usual, an exponent of the wide awake in
magazine literature, with timely articles
OH subjects of general interest, and crisp,
bright fiction.

the last year. IL one-fourth OF them were
saved, it would make $500. 600. and per-
haps an equal amount in time and trans
portation to the old soldier who would
have to go and be examined.
The experience here in the Pension
Bureau has practically established the
manual labor limit. In the rulings of
the Department the inability to earn a
support by manual labor does not include
brain work, but applies TO all who can by
bodily labor earn support. This is what
Congress endeavored to do. and did do.
and in the legislation is continuing to do.
and the theory of the term and its legal
construction are we'll known and long ac-
quiesced in. Hence. in the Bureau, where
so many examinations have been made
through a long series OF years the disa-
bilities arising from age are almost def
nitely fixed, so much so that it may be
conceded that at 81 years an old soldier
is at least one-half disabled from earning
support by manual labor and under the
law he would be entitled to SIS.
Il am not able to say what expense
the bill would entail in the shape OF adj
ditional payments. The expense to which
it will augment the necessity for further
appropriation cannot be told. There is
a great unknown army that has never APP
piled for pensions. 1t is not known
whether they would or whether they in
tend to. 1t will without doubt increas Sc
the payments to some extent. but no one
is able to fix the amount. The Bureau has
not considered that as the proper element
Of consideration. What the Bureau has
considered has been whether or not it was
the right and just and proper thing to do,
leaving results TO take care of themselves.
| do not think however, that the increased
expense in the long run will be very no.
ticeable. because the death rate is always
to be considered. and there is also to be
considered the fact that the ones to
whom we give the pension without proof
other than their ages would have proven
themselves anyhow under former circum-
stances as entitled to the pension by
reason Of their disabilities"

A WELCOME ORDER.
Commissioner Ware Adopts Policy Which
He Has Long Advocated

The following is the interview on the
new order of things in the Pension Office
which Commissioner Ware gave out just
before he went South. He declared that
this decision would save the veterans and
the Government great deal of time and
that he believed it would result in giving
the veterans more money, while it saved
it to the Government, in making unneces-
sary vast and growing army of en-
plOyees.
There has long been in the Bureau a
rule fixing maximum age limit at $12
Tor 90 years This was made during Mr..
Cleveland's Administration by Commits
sioner Lochren, now Federal Judge in
Minnesota. The 65-year minimum limit
has been a long while in force in the Blu
reau, but l am not advised by whom it
was established, nor is it particularly ma
terial, since it met with general acquies-
cence.
The act of Congress. wa1ich was passed
in the latter part of January, 1887, and
approved by President Cleveland, put ali
the Mexican war veterans on the pension
roll 80 years exactly after the end of the
Mexican war. The Mexican war ended
officially by the treaty OF Guadaloupe Hi
daigo, Feb. 2, 1913, although hostihties
had ceased before that time by the cap
ture Of the City Of Mexico.
1T would seem that il 80 years after
the expiration of service a Mexican war
soldier was entitled to pension at 81
years, and no other requisite for drawing
a pension should exist except age, that to
soldiers OF the Civil War, who fought
vastly more and longer, at least as good a
rule ought to apply.
1.-The Mexican war limit Of 60 years
was probably brought about by the we'll
known army limit of 81 years at which
officers are retired. There seems to be
a general consensus of opinion that at tj2
years the disabilities Of Old age have SET
in.
1.-The order could not have been issued
earlier, because it is only now that the
80 years fixed by the Congressional limit
has been reached. The Civil War ended
April Is, 1863, and in enlistments in the
loyal States those who enlisted after thai
time are held to have no pensionab BILE
service during the war of the rebellion.
Hence, the 80 years would expire on the
18th of next month. and it is very proper
that the order should be issued fixing the
62 years as the minimum age limit and
the Biblical three score and 10 as the
maximum.
''There is an advantage and saving TO
the Government in the use Of this order
because every old soldier who has reached
the age Of 62 years is able to prove al
most without possibility Of doubt that he
is one-haif disabled from earning his SIM.
port by manual labor This being SO. il
seems unwise TO put soldier to the ex

place where Medical Board can ex-
anime him to find that fact out, and, on

the Government to keep boards established
