Surgery in High Favor.

NOT SO many years ago surgical oper-
atoms were generally regarded by the
public as a means Of last resort, and
were submitted to only when the pa
tient or his family was advised that
no other escape was open for the suf-
ferer. Frequently the sick man was in
extremes when he went under the sur
geon's knife, and it is asserted by med
ical men that the large mortality in a
given number of operations was due
to this fact. In this way the popular
fear Of going through these ordeals
was increased, the surgeons generally
being held responsible for the fatal
outcome.
To-day there is less fear Of the knife,
and statistics show that the mortality
is far less. This is attributed by the
profession to the advanced views now
held and what may be termed the
greater popularity Of surgery. OF
course, a most potent contribution to
this condition OF affairs is the more ex-
tensive knowledge possessed by the
modern surgeon and his greater skill.
But there is another source from which
help comes; that is, that cases requir-
ing the services of surgeons are not de-
layed until the last minute, when the
patients are so exhausted or they can
not stand the shock they must neces-
sarily sustain.
To-day it is appreciated by all stu
dents Of the ills to which flesh is heir
that if the knife is to be used the SOON
er it is done the better; just as every
body knows that If a disease is to be
checked the sooner medicine is admin
istered the better. And to this view of
the matter the doctor and the surgeon
have gradually educated the people.
This accounts for the popularity of sur
gerry and for the material diminishing
of the death rate of persons passing
under the knife.-Baltimore Herald.

Baking Powder Economy.

The best baking powder l use is
homemade. Here is my recipe: Two
and one-quarter pounds of cream tar
tar, one pound Of ~baking-soda, one
and one-quarter pounds of -four. Sift
six or eight times thoroughly and keep
in tin boxes. This makes four and
one-half pounds of the baking-powder,
and costs about half as much as that
we buy. l buy the cream-tartar and
soda at a drug store, as they are then
sure to be pure, and the strength of
the baking-powder depends so much
upon the purity of the ingredients.
Try this recipe, and you will be pleas.
ed with the result.-Exchapge.

Idaho Springs siftings., 1904-07-30

Four years ago at the Kansas City con-
yentiou when Mr. Bryan was the eandi-
date for nomination, the resolutions COM
mittee were sharply divided upon the
question OF excluding the money plank.
Instead Of waiting until after the plat
form had been adopted and the norIina-
;ion OF himself had been made. = saws the
Springfield Mass. Republican Ind },
Mr. Bryan promptly sent word to the
convention before any action had been
taken, that he must not be considered a
candidate for the nomination in case the
money question were ignored in the reso-
luton. That was straightforward and it
was dealing fairly with all wings and
branches Of the democratic party lit
is a manly thing" said Mr.. Bryan in his
speech at ST. Louis, after the reading of
Judge Parker's dispatch, ''for man to

silver Snake Not Seotched.

Intelligent voters should be careful lest
they be led into believing the contention
OF some of the Eastern Democrats that
the Democratic party is now in favor OF
the gold standard. There is no room for
any misunderstanding on this question.
Judge Parker bolted his platform, which
had been adopted by an overwhelming
vote in the convention, and the party did
rot sustain him, but simply. in order to
extricaie itself from a situation that
,ilreatened disruption OF the convention,
notified him 10 Ere ahead and hold the
political postmortem in his own way and
make whatever disposition of the corpse
he deemed proper.
The masses Of the Democratic organl-
zation fully understand that they ~ere
imposed upon by trickery and falsehood'
70 which they submitted rather than re-
new a fight which had already exhausted
them. The silver men are keenly aware
that they were bunsoed a, the eleventh
hour and robbed of their just share OF the
fruits OF the convention by trickery and
cunning on the part of David B. Hill and
his lieu,enants. The result IS that the
party still has its meaningless platform
and Silver orators OF the West tcau
poin, To the fact that the platform
does not declare against their beliefs. -
far as the platform goes the Democratic
party is just as much OF free silver party
to day asii was when W J. Bryan led il
to two defeats IF evidence outside the
platform is Heeded to show that the silver
men are still confident Of controlling the
party organization. W. J. Bryan has sup
piled that evidence. In a formal written
statement, issued upon his return To Lin
coin from the St. Louis convention. he
said. 'As soon as the election is over !
will. with the help OF those who believe
as do in the free coinage Of silver at 10
to ~, undertake to organize for the cam
paign of 1905"
The silver snake has no, been scotehcd
II has hardly been stunned.
