Fourth of July Dangers.

According to the Journal of the
American Medical association in
1903 the Fourth of July tribute was
466 dead and 1888 injured; in 1904 it
was 1888 dead and 1886 injured. The
first year the reported cases of tetan-
us numbered Ais, while last year
there were but l05. Within one year
the deaths from tetanus were re-
duced by 70 per cent, although the
deaths from other causes were in
creased over 80 per cent, and the to-.
tai number of recorded INJURIES were
practically unchanged. The analysis
of the epidemics of previous years
made it evident that the chief reason
for the great tetanus mortality lay
in lack of appreciation OF the dar
ger that lies In every blank cartridge
wou.d and the need for vigorous and
skilled treatment Immediately after
its reception. Just before the last
Fourth of July vigorous campaign
of education on this point was car
ried on throughout the country by
both the medical and the lay press
and to this cause alone can be attri-
buted the great reduction in tetanus
mortality. The average parent
learned that blank cartridge wound
was a serious injury thai needed sur
gical attentions; the average physi-
clan learned that simple dressing of
such wounds was little better than
nothing at all and that thorough sur
gical cleansing with prophylactic in
jections of tetanus anti-toXin were
required. The city father and the
small boy seeem to have profited
somewhat also, because, for one reas-
on and another, the number of
wounds from blank cartridges fell
nearly one-third i'm the reports, al
though the less us-dangerous
Wounds from fire. crackers, cannons,
display fireworks and bullets all in
creased markedly. We are now fac
ing another celebration of Indepen-
dence day and wondering what it
will bring forth. Shall we profit by
the gain of last year, or, lulled by
this success, shall we relapse into
the old condition

Cuban Diarrhoea

during the Spanish war know what

remedies have little more effect than
so much water. Cuban diarrhoea is
almost as severe and dangerous as

remedy. however, that can always be
depended upon, az will be seen by

Queen Victoria was very fond of chill

tie girls to pay her visit. The mother
of one Of the children went, too. to take
charge of the party. During the visit
the queen asked one of the little girls
where she lived. "Near Whteley's,'
answered the child, and the mother
was not exactly pleased because she
would have liked the queen to think
they lived somewhere else. After say

up shyly at the queen and asked.
"Where do you liye?" "Oh, live near

who is at the head of the entire
school system of that city which in
cludes the Stout Manuel Training
school and the county agricultural

The position offered Mr.. Thomas is
an excellent stepping stone for an
ambitious teacher, and while the

tirely unexpected, is very gratifying
to Mr., Thomas, he is loath to leave
Lodi. He has been highly success

ARTS AND CRAFTS. {.

The Arts and Crafts exhibition
which is to be opened today the private
dining room annex of the Royal Ha-
waiian Hotel, was viewed by favor
ed few yesterday, just to see the effect
of the arrangement of the beautiful
articles. 1t is an exhibition really
worth seeing, for the things displayed
are modern limitations of the Florentine
art in wall hangings, album covers,
dainty screens. etc. There is also a
collection of lamps, of beaten bronze
made to look old. Some of the metal
handicraft is a fretwork with translu-.
cent shells attached through which
electric lights shed a dim glow. The
exhibition is given under auspices of
who are among the lead
ing members of society.
