ton. Senator Quarles spoke for two
hours in support eff the course of the
administration and was followed by
Senator Patterson, who criticized the
presidents course The house con-
sidered the Hepburn pure food bill
but did not complete it. Just before
the recess an amendment coming from
the democratic side was adopted in
sorting the word ''wilfully" relative to
the sale of prohibited adulterated
goods by retailers. which would make
il incumbent on the government to
prove the knowledge ON the part of the
retailers that such goods were con-
trary to the law The principal
speeches were made by Messrs. Hep

VICTORIA DAY IN CANADA.

1t is gratifying to note that the gov
eminent OF Quebec. after declining to
recognize Victoria Day, revised its de-
cision. and gave the day its due observ-
ance. The first intention was obviously
"A mistake. for the people Of Quebec en-
terrain a marked reverence for the
memory Of the late Queen. as wen as
a high regard FOR her successor on the
throne.
There can be little doubt that in the
future there viii be no hitch on this
subject. Everybody feels that the ,uni-

accord with the views OF the best thought
in our sister province Il would be an
other link between the two races that
go to constitute the Canadian nation
ality and would stimulate patriotism
In the Influences that go toward pro-
noting good citizenship patriotism is one
of the strongest. IN the early days OF
Canada's history French Canada rem

The punishment for treason is decapita-

OF enslavement of the mother, wife, and

''The treason OF woman is punished
by poisoning. For murder the punish

theft he is decapitated, or in lesser
cases bauished to lonely island his

SILVER BOLT TO
HOLD THE BONES
BaltimOrea1 Has a New
Treatment for Fractures.
SUCCESS APPEARS ASSURED
Only Objection to Method Seems to Be
That Cutting Mortise
ShoTtens Bone.

BAlsl1MOHE, Md, June 20--Dr. Ste
phen II. Watts, assistant resident sur
geon at the Johns Hopkins Hospital. has
devised method Of joining broken
bones that is attracting wide interest
among surgeons. His device consists
of silver bolt and nut. and is sim
plicity itself
The fractured bone is exposed by a
simple operation and the broken bones
are mortised Just as a carpenter NOR
tises the ends Of two pieces Of wood ne
desires to join.
Silver Bolt Inserted.
Then a small hole is drilled through
the joint thus made and a silver bolt IS
inserted. When the nut is screwed down
the joint is immovable and the natural
knitting Of the bone may proceed with
out the interruption usually caused by
change in position and lack of rigidity
Dr. Watts tested this method for the
first time a year ago and has since then
used it with success. His first patient
was a man who had suffered bad frac-
lures Of both legs in an accident in a
stone quarry. 1t was found necessary
to amDutate the right leg TO save the
patients life. but the left seemed TO
offer hope Of success. At the end OF two
months the ordinary treatment. with the
use Of plaster cast to hold the limb
rigid failed to result in the knitting Of
the bone
Then the possibility that a silver bolt
might hold the broken ends together oc-
CURED 20 DR.. Watts, and he resolved 10
I attempt the experiment A bolt l%
inches long and 3-32 Of an inch in diam
eter was used. After 1t was in place and
the wound had been sewed up. the usual
plaster casts were again applied. In q
few months the patient was discharged

To Hold the Rib.
Ordinarily surgeons wrap the silver
wire around the break TO hold the frac-
tured bone rigid, but this method mas
many Disadvantages. Dr. Watts plan IS
more certain and there is no dar ger OF

, when wire Is used. The bolt IN the bone
seems 20 cause no permanent III effect.
