LIFE HANGS ON MINUTES.
Chances for Recovery in Surgical
Operations Of Long Duration
Are Small.

Time saving is one of the most impor-
tant considerations in all surgery. Any
major operation lasting more than an
hour and half entails an additional
risk; In operations of long duration the
chances Of recovery are comparatively
small, says McClure's Magazine. This is
1ue to shock, to the cumulative effect Of
the anaesthetic, to loss Of blood and to
lowering Of the patients temperature
by the exposure Of internal areas to the
air. Because of this the best surgeons
work with a mechanical precision and
economy of movement Everything is
ready before the operation commences;
an assistant is at hand to look after the
details of actual work, such as holding
back the edges of the incision, adjust
ing the ligatures, ETC.; an expert in an
aesthesia handles the chloroform and
watches the subjects pulse and respira-
ton In order that the operators time
may be devoted wholly to one point, and
a deft nurse, adept in the use Of every
instrument. needle and chemical prep
aration. is at the surgeons elbow, ready
to hand out at word-sometimes be-
fore the word--the shining implements
already filed in the order of their prob
able use. 1t
Two pisiting surgeons at one of the
New York hospitals got a markedly
varying percentage of mortality in n
common abdominal operation.
What is the difference between the
two operators?' | asked of one Of the
house staff in attendance.
About 20 minutes" he said, sue

Forget About Your stomach

If your digestion is bad the vital
organs Of your body are not fed and
nourshed as the should be. They grow
weak and invite disease. Kodol Dys-

Indigestion and all stomach troubles.
You forget you have stomach from
the very day you begin takins it. This
is because it gets rest-recuperates

U. G. Norris opened his skating rink

was free to everyone and large crowd

is the first roller skating done in this
city recently there we're some nice falls
from those who we're trying to learn
this sport. There was few good
skaters present though, and in short

otherwise have done.

sentative of the Chieftain he says about
two hundred Indians have been found
who have not filed on land and who
are not on the rolls recently made OF
the tribe. Many names Of fullbloods
are on the rolls of 1880, and subsequent
rolls who have died and their names
have not been taken off the rolls. A

are opposed to allotment or dissolution

There are many sad cases OF the hard

fullblood refused to enter a contest and
at the expiration of nine months was
put in possession OF the Indians home,
the Indian poliece eiecting him and

FATHER HAS AN AWAKENING
Finds the Ways Of To-day Are Diff
ferent from Those Of Forty
Years Ago.

Unlike the man who shirks all re-
sponsibility in shaping his sons career,
there is occasionally one who causes
just as much trouble by an overdose
Of parental interest. A case in point,
says the Detroit Free Press, is Of a
successful business man, who made a
large fortune in well-established busi-
ness, which he hoped his son would
take up at the proper age.
In the meantime the son was sent to
college, where he became much at
tached to the profession he had elect
ed to study. But after his graduation
the son, much against his inclination,
was persuaded to enter his fathers
business. The elder man had worked
up from a poor boy, and believed that
young married people should exercise
something like the rigid economy that
had started his fortunes 40 years ago.
The son married young woman who
knew nothing of work, and didn't want
to learn, and they set up in a modest
home with one servant. This was too
much for the father, who demonstrated
with them for their extravaganza. He
said that they were beginning wrong,
and by way of teaching them to get
along on a small amount of money,
he reduced his sons salary to a sum
that would not allow the luxury Of a
servant.
The son said nothing, but not long
after that the father found a note on
his desk in which he said that he had
accepted a position in his profession
that would enable him to live the way
he wished to, and that he had moved
bag and baggage to a city in the east.
The elder man realized that the meth
DDS Of 40 years ago are not those Of to-
day. Rnt it was too late.

Horses, Shoe Get Hot

Popular Mechanics says that a horse
shod with metal shoes should not be
driven rapidly on an asphalt pave
ment. The heat produced is painful to
the animal and may be injurious. 1t
cites an instance where two men in
dulged in a friendly horse race on
asphalt. One Of the horses cast a shoe
and when the rider picked it up it
blistered his hand and did not cool OF
for several minutes. At each step the
horse slips a little and this constant
friction of the metal shoe under
weight upon the sand in the pavement
generates a high degree of heat.
