A Surgical Problem.

The cavities left in bones after sur
gical operations have been a source of
much trouble, discharges of pus usu-
ally continuing for months. Acting on
the hint given by dentists operations
on decaying teeth, Prof. Moorhof, OF
Vienna, aboEt five years ago began
seeking a means of artiicially filing
the bone cavities, and for a time ex-
perimented with a putty-like paste of
iodoform. This failed to reach all
parts of the cavity. A new filing has
been adopted, therefore, consisting OF
iodoform, spermaceti and iosesame,
and, as this melts at 122 degrees Fab
renheit, it is poured into the cavity
in a liquid state, when it psnetrates to
every part. The filing is absorbed and
replaced by granulation tissue so slow
~ that no poisoning occurs This
method has been applied in about 220
cases, and it is claimed that there has
been no failure.

IN MEDICAL PRACTICE.

BY means Of the leprolin serum, q
temporary cure has been effected in a
number OF cases under the care OF the
mission of lepers in India. and the
patients are kept in special observa-
ton wards.
Inasmuchf as a soldier wounded IN
battle sometimes lacks the strength
to call out for help, DIR. Mat!gnon, a
French doctor In the japanese Red
Cross service, has invented a whistle
which, with a very slight exertion,
gives a loud sound.
The publication of the water sup
ply of Chicago and the improvement OF
the drainage system of that city have
cut the mortality from typhoid fever
down to about one-third Of the death
list from that disease when the popu-
lation was little more than half as
great as it is now.
According to DR.. T. L. Macdonald,
the prosperous and strenuous mental
life, combined with gorging, explains
the frequency Of Bright's disease in
nigh official circles at Washington. He
says that ~overeating is the germ OF
nephritis. Mental activity and physi-
cal quiescences aid in its production and
carking care and worry are also causa-
tive factors. Bright's disease is
prone to attack the intellectual and
the anxious. Alcohol, he thinks, is
not as potent a cause as is generally
believed.
A rubber film glove has been de-
vised for surgeons. The gloves are
put on" by immersing the hands in a
weak solution of gutta percha in ben
zine or %acetone. The purpose of the
film is to seal the surfaces of the hands
with an ~insoluble, impervious and
practically imperceptible pellicle, which
will not admit blood, pus or secretions.
Such a protective measure for sur
geons is said to be preferable to work
ing with rubber gloves. inasmuch as
the sense of touch or pliability of the
skin is not impaired in any way.

Three days passed and no Esau. The
morning he had departed he had made
his boast that he would return at hight
with the antelope which had so re-
peatedly oefied his skill as a hunter, but
he had not come. Little attention was
given the matter, for he often remained
away days at a time. At first Isaac
was disappointed at rot getting his
treat of v~anison, but as the second day
wore away into the third and still nc
Esau it was plain to- see that he was
uneasy over the hunters absence.
Late in the afternoon while Jacob
was busy preparing a cot of succulent
beans Esau came in weary and empty
handed. The long tramp, the persist
ent chase, the scant provisions with
which he had been provided, all told
a story of a hunter weary and famished.
And so the appetizing odor of the food
which Jacob was preparing came to
Esau's rostrils with a power which
could not be resisted. So eager was he
for the food that he did not notice the
sarcasm of Jacob as he asked:
well, where's fathers venison?"
ssGive me-" he exclaimed, some OF
that pottage, for am faint with hun
ger!"
Like a flash there came to the mind
of Jacob the words his mother had
spoken: THE elder shall serve the
younger But the birthright? How it
doomed up before him.
Sell me this day thy birthright," ex-
claimed Jacob, '4and you may have all
the pottage you want. And it is fine!!"
he added, as he took a dish and began to
fill it with the appetizing food.
Behold, / am at the point to die"
impatiently cried Esau, 'and what profit
shall this birthright do to me? Let me
have the pottagei"
Swear! Swear to me this day that
ii shall be mine" insisted the cautious
Jacob, withholding the bowl of steaming
pottage, while the pleasant aroma came
crowding upon the nostrils of the fam
ished Esau.
YEA, I swear that it shall be thine!
Here! Herei Only give me to eat!"
And he seized the food which Jacob
placed in front Of him and ate as
though there was never a need but that
Of the physical. And as the warm, sue
culent food filled his stomach, there
stole over him that animal contentment
which comes to those who know no

Freshmen Saturday by a score of 16
to 0. After an account of the
Haskell Buckner game on the same
field just preceding, the Kansas City
journal says:
1.-THE Freshmen W Wentworth game
was a more ever contest and faster
one than the previous game. Good,
swift line bucks by the X. U. players
and excellent tackles by the cadets
were continual occurrences. The
ball was mostly In the hands of the
freshmen. Dahlne and Veatch, at
full for the X. U, team, were the
most effective ground gamers. The
last half was hard fought, the visitors
being plucky and strong 10 defense. "
The cadets were embarrassed by
the illness of their captain, who had
been in the habit Of calling the
signals. The:cadets are highly satisfied
with the showing made in this game

The Pertle Springs meeting seems
to have been a izzle. Only twenty
six Of the eighty-three members Of
the legislature who supported Cock
rell for the senate were present at
the meeting. Whatever the meeting
was intended to accomplish it is GER
tain that the purpose Of it was not
what the Kansas City papers %variously
reported. If it was intended to start
a boom for Cockrell for Stones place
In 1909, it is certain that Cockrell
refused to entertain such a propcsi
tion, aud If such we're the purpose, it
is easy to understand why the attend
ance was small. The truth seems to
be that there was no very cOnsldera-
BILE purpose 10 the meeting. 1t seems
to have been taken as an opportunity
for some of The democratic leaders
to come together without any danger

particular purpose in view at the

besides his name does not appear on

it does not appear that the
insurance companies ever fought the

they sometimes sought improper
legislation In their own interests.

Mr., Roosevelt, not satisfied with
the first coat of whitewash applied
to Ex-Assistant Secretary Of State
LOOMS, has found occasion to
address him a public letter in which
he assures him Of his own personal
regard and that Of the late Secretary
Hav. But no matter what the
president may say, the people will
never divest themselves Of suspicion
of a man who engaged in private
speculatlons in Venezuela during
his term of Office, who accepted
stocks 10 enterprises holding con-
cessions from the Venezuelan govern
ment. Maybe Mr.. Bowen was not
actuated by unselish motives in
reporting to his government the
repute in which Loomis was held at

him to the satisfaction of any but his
insane admirers.
