JAP NAVAL SURGERY
INTERESTING CONTRIBUTION TO
HISTORY.

DETROIT. Mich. September 27.-Surgeon
General 8. Suzuki of the imperial Japanese
navy today. in his address before the four
teenth convention of military surgeons OF
the United States, made what was declared
by Medical Director J. s. Wise of the
United States navy to be the most valuable
contribution of modern times to naval sur
gerry. He described in detail and at length
the surgical methods used in the Japanese
fleet: told how surgeons before every en-
gagement carefully inspected the eyes OF
all gunners on the warships; how the ears
of every man in the feet were plugged
with cotton before the firing began, and
how Admiral Togo fought his feet from the
compass bridge of the Mikasa, instead of
the coming tower.
Much of our success in the treatment of
wounds. said DR.. Suzuki. II ascribe to the
fact that before every engagement ordered
each member Of the crew to battle and rut
on perfectly clean nndercothing. In a
great many shot wounds fragments OF
clothing are carried into the body. and our
insistenee upon clean underclofhing pre-
vented many cases of blood poisoning
among our wounded. Our experience dur
ing the war proved that the coming tower
or Warship is most dangerous situation.
Fragments of shell penetrate through the
Sits in the tower made to furnish the COM
handing officer a range of vision, and do
great damage. Realizing this fact, Admit
raj Togo In all the naval engagements di-
rected his fleet from the compass bridge of
the Mikasa without receiving at any time
the slightest wound.
Vision the Best
1.-THE vision Of the men who fire the guns
on a warship must necessarily be of the
very best II their shots are to count. Be-
fore every engagement the surgeons in the
japanese fleets examined carefully the eyes
of all the gunners. Any of them found with
slight impairment Of vision were treated,
ana IL the impairment was too grave to
yield to immediate treatment they were
transferred to another station and their
places filled by men whose eyes were per-
feet. And. too, during engagements, every
battery crew was supplied with water in
which a per cent solution of boracic acid
had been mixed to wash out their eyes
when they became affected by powder
smoke or dust. We also issued to every
man in the fleets, before going into action,
cotton wool. with which to plug his ears
and thereby prevent rupture Of the ear
drums by the conclusion of the gun fire.
DR.. Suzuki said that by the issuance Of
quantities of extra heavy clothing, gloves
and boots. the crews OF the Japanese ships
were so well fortified against cold that, de-
spite the winter operations against Port
Arthur, not one case of frost bite was
brought into the surgeries of the ships.
The issuance of large-brimmed straw hats
during the summer, also, he said, pre-
vented any SunStrokeS among the crews of
the fleet

to generally favored the project Of
erecting a new school building, the
need Of which is only too apparent
from the crowded condition of the
present quarters. The attendance,
was not large enough to
fully consider the proposition, and
some confusion having arisen as to-
the hours for the special election
to vote on the issue of bonds, the
board decided it best to call the.
election off, and notices to this ef-5
feet were circulated Wednesday,
forenoon. The settlement of the
question is thus delayed for short
time, but it is to be hoped that ao-.
tion will be taken in time to enable,
the school board to make seasonable,
arrangements for building.

Excellent Display Of Meats.

The most tempting display of
meats and poultry it has ever been
our good fortune to gaze upon was
to be seen at Il. V. Pettit's meat
market during the week. Antici-
pating the varied wishes of their
customers and breathing of the
holiday spirit, the market was
placed in the neatest of condition, !
and meats of all kinds and the very
best procurable turkeys, geese and
chickens we're placed in tempting
array, forming most pleasing sight.
There were seven fat, young beeves
hanging on the racks at one time
besides the pork, mutton, veal and
poultry, of which there seemed to
be no limit. That the Efforts of the
proprietor to meet to demnds of the
season were fully appreciated goes
without saying. The market is al
ways we'll stocked, but the holidays
called for an etxra supply which
proved attractive to shoppers and
others. t54
