Triumohs of Modern Surgery.

Wonderful things ar2 done for the
human body by surgery. Organs are
taken out and scrapcl and polished
and put back, or they may be removed
entirely; bones are spliCed; pipes take
the place of diseased sections of veins;
antiseptic dressings are applied to
wounds, bruises, burns and like in
juries before inflammation sets i'll,
which causes them to heal without
maturation and in one third the Tins
required by the old treatment. Cham
berlain's Pain Balm acts on this sama
principle. 1t is an antiscptic and when
applied to such injuries, causes them
to heal very quickly. 1t also allays the
pain and soreness. Keep bottle Of
Pain Balm in your home and 1t will
save you time and money, not to men,
ton the inconvenience and suffering
which such injuries entail. For sale Dy

Don't let unfred material lie on the
ground facing the spectators.
Don't light cOlOrcd fire CT the grass.
use little earth or piece of fiat stone
Don't push Il rocket stick into the

The GIorio Fourth AGAIN,

Once more the rolling seasons bring
to us Independence day. the greatest of
our American holidays. and also the
most generally and by far the most
strenuously celebrated. f!ct only in all
parts of the United States. but in other
parts of the world wherever. on land
and sea. the American flag is found,
honors will be paid to the memory of
those who won American Independence,
and the day will be devoted to glorify
ing American greatness and to the
usual sports, pastimes and exercises
that mark :he chief summer holiday.
Although the glorious Fourth is no
longer celebrated as it was in the good
old times Of our grandfathe rs, yet this
is not an indication that the spirit of
true patriotism is on the ebb. or that
the significance of the holiday has de-
parted from the minds and hearts OF
the American people.
OF course there is much that is mean
ingless and annoying in the noise that
is SO prominent feature of the days
celebration. but it is not the noise after
all which is the most Objectionable fea-
ture of our modern observance of tho
Fourth. 1t is indeed fitting that the
Celebra ton Of such holiday should be
loco
tainly there was noise enough made by
powder in 1176 and the following years,
and it was the ringing of a bell in
Philadelphia which announced to thu
waiting world that Independence from
the mother country had been declared.
1t is not the noise itself which is the
objectionable feature of the celebration
of the Fourth. but rather the unfortu-
nate fact that in the making of this
noise so many lives and so many limbs
are needlessly sacrificed every year. 1t
is not at all unlikely. judging from the
the days celebration will cost our
country more lives tnan the Americans;
lost at the battel of Bunker Hill. while
the loss by fires caused by carelessness
in the use of firecrackers and fireworks
will doubtless far exceed the cost OF
any battle in the War for Indepan-
dence. Our great national holiday
could easily be celebrated with all the
noise needed and without this terrible
annual sacrifice Of life and limb and
property. The plea COZ safe and sane
Fourth has become general within the
past few years. and doubtless has ac-
compished something. but traditions
die hard and the deap-seated evils

easily be rooted out.
laws and ordinances prohibiting the use
Of certain explosives. and limiting the
sale of harmless fireworks and explo-
sives to a short period before and dur

the police to suppress the nuisance and
more care by the parents to keep their
children within bounds. These simple
precautions would 90 far towards

A P%ARA0UAYAN REVOLUTION
Heads Of Army and Navy Dragged
Ashore by a Single Shirt F.
Collar. {

During q recent revolution in Paraguay,
according to a correspondent, a minister
of wal and the admiral OF a fleet were
captured when swimming for liberty and
dragged from the river by q single shirt
collar" The whole ~Paraguayan navy was
captured at the same time. The plot
was Matched in Buenos Ayres, says the
correspondent. One dark night q steamer
sailed from the port of La Plata bearing
several hundred patriots, with krupp
field pieces, rifles and ammunition. When
the boat got near that historic spot, HUI
malta, which played such an important
part in the war that ended in the down
fall and death of the Dictator Lopez, she
encountered the entire Paraguayan navy.
This. navy consisted of q steam barge
seized from a private river company and
manned by 100 men. 1t was commanded
by the minister of war, who turned him
self into an admiral for the occasion. A
characteristic South American fight took
place.
At the first shot the war minister and
the admiral jumped overheard and tried
to swim ashore. But the pair were caught
by the victors and dragged out of the
water by the single shirt collar mentioned
above.
