BLOOD SUBSTITUTE.
Why Saline Solution Is Sometimes In
jected Into the Veins.

Why Saline Solution Is Sometimes In
jected Into the Veins.
Occasionally In cases OF serious
wounds where there has been great
loss OF blood the published reports
state that saline solution" was in
sected into the veins to supply the de-
dciency. The average reader, however,
has very vague IL any idea how a
solution OF salt takes the place OF
blood.
Not 10 so into n complete analysis
OF the blood, 1t is sufficient to note
that Of 1000 parts, TS0.15 is composed
Of water, albumen 90 parts, sodium
and potassium SSH. colorlng matter
Supplied by the red blood corpuscles)
1873, leaving only some IL parts TO be
composed OF fbrln, fat, calcium and
magnesium, etc Where there is seri-
Gus loss OF blood n state OF collapse
sets In because, the normal weight OF
blood being reduced, the hearts action
is diminished. there being less resist
ance for that organ TO overcome.
To counteract the result Of shock and
collapse IL Is necessary TO stimulate
the heart by restoring the normal
weight; In other words, to get II TO
work by giving IL something TO work
on. AS the analysis shows, OF 1000
parts OF blood nearly 500 are composed
OF water and sodium. and therefore
plain saline solution makes a good sub
stitute. The heart does not know the
difference. and 1t goes TO pumping
away as usual as soon as this imitation
blood gets in the veins. The saline So
luton serves TO tide the patient over
the danger point. AS the food Is con-
verted into chyle, new blood is formed,
the red corpuscles are supplied rapidly
from the normal tissues, and the saline
solution is thrown of through the Sc
cretions in the usual way.
Formerly TRANSMISSION OF blood was
the means employed, but this always
Objectionable method has been sup
planted. The greatest objection to the
TRANSMISSION OF blood from one person
TO another was that to supply the
necessary amount TO restore the
wounded patient 1t was inevitable that
the volunteer should be almost as bad
ly drained, so that the physician would
have two patients on his hands where
he had one. Besides, there was always
the risk OF transfusing disease to the
patient with the others blood. Dogs
and sheep have been sacrificed to sur
gerry for this purpose, but most people
prefer to use blood OF their own manu-
facture to any imported from beasts or
their fellow creatures

4 GREAT BASEBALL SERIES.
How Boston and Providence Battled In
the LEAGUE In 1884.

hUc LCd9Oe IN 1907.
Probably one of the grandest series
Of baseball games played by National
league clubs was that between the
Bostons and the Providence Grays in
1884. The Bostons had won the cham
pionship of 1883. and ii was the am
bition Of Providence cranks. who lived
only forty miles away from the Hub,
TO wrest the laurels away from the
Bean Eaters. Every game that was
played between the clubs was at
tended by immense crowds. and the
excitement was at white heat.
The first game OF the series In 1884
was one OF sixteen innings and result
ed In tie. the score standing TO /.
The pitchers were Charley Radbourne
and Jim Whitney. and 10000 persons
saw the battle. The12eXt day Provi-
dence won by n score Of to 1 in
nine innings. and Charley Sweeney
struck out nineteen Boston batsmen.
or the first eight games Boston won
five and Providence three. When It
came time to meet for the four final
struggles the Providence team had
won every series from the other league
clubs and wanted TO win the series
from the Bostons too. Radbourne ac-
cordingly was assigned TO pitch in all
four games on four successive days.
He was In such magnificent form that
In all of the games the Bostons were
beaten and scored the sum total OF one
run One Of the games lasted eleven
innings. 1t was played In Boston and
was finally won by the Rhode Island
ers by a score OF l TO o. Arthur IT.
win. who was the shortstop for Provi-
dence, drove n long fly toward the
right fell fence, and the ball went
through n hole between the boards. 1t
was n four Dagger and decided the
game.
Radbourne's wonderful pitching in
those days viii never be forgotten by
those who saw him perform. He went
into the box game after game and
pitched for nineteen consecutive con-
tests. Ii was his remarkable twirllng
that was instrumental in helping Prov
idence to win the pennant that year.
Sweeney jumped the club IN the mid
die OF the season, and Rad went
along single handed. One feat that
was the talk OF the baseball world In
1888 was his pitching in an exhibition
game at Trenton. The home club
would not allow Providence 10 play
with the regulation league ball and in
sisted upon substituting another OF
lighter weight. Radbourne, however,
accepted the latter ball and proceeded
TO strike out every man who came TO
the bat until one man had been re-
tired in the sixth inning. Then play
er fouled the ball, which had not been
done before. The pitching distance
then was forty-flve feet from the home
plate.

WkTER-SYSTEM SUGGESTIONS.

We suggest to the consideration
of the Town Council and the citi-
zens of Beryville the following
changes and additionsfor our Water
System:
Construct a bridge Tor viaduct)
across the Shenandoah River and
lay the water pipes upon it;
Use "screwjoint" pipe across the
viaduct instead of ''lead-ioint"
pipe, as the former is more easily
handled, and breaks can be repair
ed in short time by any ordinary
plumber.
We have already been told that
the Town hasn't the money for such
Improvements as we suggest above:
but they can get it, either by d.
rect tax or by issuance of bonds.
After the experience of the past
few weeks, we don't believe any
taxpayer would kick against a
heavy water tax, provided we have
the assurance and belief that the
Water System will be improved.
For the protection of life and
porperty, we must have pure water.
The cost something which should
receive little consideration.

Work and Worry.

Il am working too hard. My work
is killing me-" The man is mistaken.
Work does not kill. Work is medicine
10 the body and mind and spirit Work
is the salvation of men. Work cures
thousand ills. Worry kills. Dissipation
kills. Worry is largely a matter of
nerves or indigestion or liver, or It
may be a quality OF temperament or
it may spring from envy or some other
hateful habit OF thought. In most
cases worry Is concerning things pure
ly imaginary-things that cannot be
helped. One OF the best cures for the
worry habit is work, hard work OF
body and mind. Work requires concen-
tration Of effort and mind. That makes
one forget his troubles. Work may be
made JOY, and In the Joy of work
ing there is no room for worry. Right
living. right thinking. work-these are
specifies for most Of the Ills caused by
worry.
