Rare Surgical Skill.

1t is said that never before in the
history of Iowa surgery was a sue
cessful operation perfor med of the
character which saved the life of
Martin Anderson, engineer at the
Clinton gas works AFTER the lining
of his intestine bad been perforated
by typhoid ulcers and the contents
of the bowels had escaped into the
abdominal cavity doctors operated
on the man and he is convalescent
and out of danger.
An incision was made in the wall
of the abdomen. Two perforations
were repaired,the cavity cleansed and
the wounds closed after drainage
through tube had been established
This was two weeks ago. Today the
patient was reported out of danger.
the last effects of the operation hav-
ing passed away, ana the doctors
state that the patient will be able to
leave the hospital in a short time.
Instances where this operation have
been successfully performed are ex-
tremely rare in the annals of Ameri-
can surgery.

X-Rays Produce Cancer.

William II. Diffenbach, of Flower
hospital, New York, has made a
study Of over 100 cases of cancer.
The X-rays, he says, frequently pro-
duces cancer. He suggests that the
remarkable increase in cancer of the
stomach may be due to the abandon
men of the old fashioned copper or
iron cooking vessels and the substitu-
ton of the modern enamelled ware,
on the theory that minute particles
of this gritty enamel are frequently
passed through the alimentary tract,
causing irritation.
Further announcement of the re-
markable curative effect on cancer
Of trypsin, the new extract of the
pancreatic juices, ar made in the cur
rent issue fthe Medical Record by
DIR. William ]. Morton, professor OF
diseases of the mind and nervous
system at tn POSTGRADUATE Medical
School and hospital, and by DR.. Mar
garet Abigail Cleves- Prof. Morton
experimental with trypsin on 30 can
Ger victims. Prof. Morton says:
THE cancerous tumor itself ex-
hibits very frequently a definite re-
action to the trypsin treatment. In
some instances this reaction is &C
companied by great amelioration oil
the disease. Two cases Of quite ex-
tensive face cancer are cured to date
In many of the cases, the progress
of the disease has come to stand
STILL"
Prof. Morton urges on the surgical
profession exhaustive trials of tryps-
in in hospitals and in the hands oil
specialists. DR.. Margaret A. Cleves
cites two positive cures with trypsin
Both were far advanced and inoper-
able.

The Depositarv Bill.

There is no room TO doubt that the
people of Indiana are in favor of I
depositary law under which the pub
lie funds OF State, counties, cities and
may be placed with safe
banks, trusts and loan companies, or
other financial agencies. The advan-
Ptages of this course are several. One
is the disposal of this money where
Lit can enter into general circulation
instead of being locked up in treas
ury vaults. Another is removal OF
the constant suspicion that treasurers
are violating the law by lending the
money. Another is to remove froEi
financial institutions a temptation to
take hand in politics to control. the
use of public funds. Another is to Sc
cure some interest on the money fol-
the public.
1t should be borne in mind tina.
law which would not be operative
would be worse than no law at all.
If a law is passed under which the
money is not actually deposited at in
terest, the Opposition would, OF
course, claim that the law was inten-
tionally made SO that the money
could not be lent, and that treasurers
could continue to derive an illegiti-
mate benefit from it. Hence members
of the Legislature should inquire
carefully into the financial condition;
of their respective districts and get
the judgment of the most competent
persons as to what would be the feat
ures of the law IN order 10 make II
operative With such a practica,
study of the question at the outset
the probabilities are that the final
consensus of opinion would result in
la law that would be of real service

Mr.. DeCraw, fourth assistant post
master general, recommends that the
pay OF rural delivery Carriers Be in
creasd from $72o to 5000 a year, and
gives good reasons why it should be
done. There are now 35.656 rural de-
livery carriers. AT the present rate
of increase there will be 39,166 before
the end of the current fiscal year
During the recent fiscal year All
carriers resigned because they could
not live on their pay, which, accord
ing to Mr.. DeCraws calculations af-
ter deducting the expense OF main
tanning an outfit, nets them only $3.50
10 1920 a year. 1t will be admitted
that Uncle Sam ought 10 be ashamed
of himself for offering such starva-
ton wages TO men who have to do
the, work and endure the fatigue and
exposure to which rural carriers are
subjected. Even if they were staying
at home by coy freside it would
be impossible for a man to feed and
educate family on that income.
There are 22,965 carriers. of whom
615 resigned last year, which shows
that they are better satisfied with
their pay than the rural carriers, but
they deserve an increase also. So
do the fourth-class postmasters.

GAVE DAUGHTER OFFICE.
Governor Hanly Makes Mary Stubbs
State Statistician.

Gov. Hanly Monday appointed
Mary Stubs, aged 25, the youngest
daughter of the late Joseph II,
Stubs, to succeed her father as state
statistician of Indiana. Mr. Stubs
died last week and was buried Satur
day. In making the appointment the
governor earned the laudation oil
thousands of friends OF the late Joe
Stubs and also the praise of his po-
Iitical enemies. Miss Stubs has been
connected with the Office and knew
her fathers plans for the next two
years well, and perhaps can carry out
the business of the Office better than
,theIs for this reason. Since her faith
CT had undertaken a work of great
magnitude that the daughter knows
all about Gov. Hanly in making the
appointment, filled out the commits
sion to read Shall hold such office
until her successor is elected and
qudiiuCu.
This puts Miss Stubs in Office un
til JAM /, 1909, when the term of heI
father, who was recently reelected
would have expired. Miss Stubs
was an important factor in her faith
Ier's nomination the first time, havinf

publican state convention working

The pure food law passed by con-
eress at the last session will go into
effect Jan. /, 1907 and it is said many
dealers will find themselves hamp-
cred on account of the provisions of
the act.
The saloonists who are selling
blended goods must have statement
of the combination on the bottle.
Liquor dealers are now going over
their stock.
Makers of patent medicines must
hereafter print the formula of their
goods on the bottle label, SO that the
purchaser may know exactly what he
is getting.

many instances what has been care
