Proper precautions taken with ap-
parently Insignificant wounds or in
juries will usually prevent. serious con-
sequences. My attention was called
to the Importance Of taking such pre-
cautions by the death Of a prominent
man from blood poisoning follow
ing an injury TO which the gentleman
in question paid but little attention as
being Of no consequence. When an
injury is sustained It should be at once
treated Ia an aseptic manner to make
IL surgicaly clean. This simply means
that the wound should be thoroughly y
washed in warm water which has been
boiled and to which some boracic acid
is added. Then the injured spot should
be dried with clean cloth and smear
ed with little boracic ointment or some
mild antiseptic. If the cut is large.
some powdered borax OF boracic acid
should be sprinkled on 1t, and the cut
tied up with a clean piece of cloth or
rag for awhile. These simp'e pre-
cautions viii frequently prevent In
fection, which causes blood poisoning.

az ON savings INSTITUTIONS.

THE Legislature made grave mistake in
i taxing savings banks Practically all the
savings institutions of the State are located in
Wilmington, the two well-known Institutions
here. They enjoy and command the confidence
Of this community. They are the repositories for
those who usually are not too well off in this
worlds goods. They represent many hours OF
toll These institutions, because of their careful
and conservative management have been enabled
to pay fair rate of interest on their deposits. A
tax upon them may have the effect of reducing
the rate of interest that can be paid. Yet the
Legislature, apparently, was only too eager to put
through this bill, which strikes blow at The mass
Of thrifty wage-earners. No one has yet ex-
planned why this burden should be put upon the
savings bank societies, which is in effect tax
upon the depositors, who are so largely COM
posed OF the wagc-earning class of the city.

1t was reported that the colored leader has made
good use Of the money that had come his way.
The accounts were kept accurately and honestly,
and good-sense governed the conduct of its af-
fairs. There was only one mild criticism. The
legislative committee reported that the expendi-
ture of $1,000 for the entertainment OF President
Roosevelt during his visit to Tussegee was a
"triae high"
The report of the committee must be crafty

such excellent practical work for the betterment

City and Its Milk Supply.

II is remarkable that, with all the
excitement concerning pure food laws,
which has stirred our wide expanse of
territory during the last year, 30 little
attention should have been given to
the food of the child. We hear of
laws to provide inspection for meat,
laws to control the sale Of drugs, laws
to regulate the movement and inspec-
tion of vegetable products, but not
one Of all these important movements
has to do with a substance SO likely
to cause widespread death, or to act
as carrier Of disease, as the one we
are discussing here. Most Of the foods
are cooked. Milk is served raw. Most
of the foods are limited in the scope
of their distribution. Milk enters
every household. Most of the foods
give comparatively little lodgment OF
nutrition to evil bacteria. MIX offers
both. Can there be any greater mu
hicipal necessity than proper milH
laws properly enforced? asks Hollis
Godfrey in the Atlantic Monthly
Strange to say, the little street of the
Azores, or the mountain village Of
Northern Italy, feeds its children bet
ter than we feed our own. Smelling
to heaven though these little towns
may be, with cutters running with
sewage, with walls and barns falling
in dirty picturesque decay, their com
mon milk supply is superior to thai
furnished even to the better class o
onr American cities.

European armies blaze with decora-
tions and orders of merit. 1t is con-
trary to the spirit Of this country to
give official sanction to arbitrary
ranks and distinctions apart from the
regular grades of service and special
recognitions of merit given by con.
gress. But there is at least one order
of American officers which congress
has recognized to the extent of per-
mitting the members to wear the
badge with their uniform on proper
occasions. This is the Order of the
Dragon, which was established by
commissioned officers OF the army at
Peking in 1900. The members are
commissioned officers of the Ameri.
can army and navy who served in
China during the Boxer troubles, and
there are honorary members from
other armies and navies which took
part In the campaign of the allies. The
society is in some ways similar to the
Order Of the Cincinnati founded by
french and American officers at the
close OF the American revolution, the
object OF which was to perpetuate
friendships formed during the war.

President viii Make Six Speeches.

Oyster Bay. N. Y.-To prepare q
half dozen addresses, each to be read
very generally by a nation OF S0,000.-
00C people. to be delivered before Oc-
tober Sd, is the task to which the Pres.
ident Is now devoting much time. Be-
side the half dozen speeches he will
be called on for as many extemporane-
GUS talks.
The President Is to terminate his va
cation with dash through the middle
West and South. He will appear frst
at Canton, Ohio, September 30th. At
Kcokuk, Iowa, Mr.. Roosevelt will
speak again, and while no intimation
has been made as to the character Of
his address, 1t is thought 1t will deal
with the problems Of the day. At this
place the President will begin his
cruise of the Mississippi. aboard o
steamer bearing the rivers name.
The river trip will be punctuated
with functions at st. Louis, where an
other speech will be delivered, at
Cairo and at Memphis, where the
cruise will end.
On the way by train back to Wash

President will yield to the importuni-

talks and that he will speak to the
people Of Nashville and Chattanooga

the defendant. After the charge of
sheep stealing had been preferred
against him Martinez says that he
heard Aguilar wanted to resign. He
went to-the sheep camp and found Ag-
uilar In his tent putting on his shoes.
Tafolle was outside at the time, build
ing fire, according to the confession.
Il asked Aguilar why he wanted to
resign, but he would not give any rea-
son." says Martinez. then asked him
If 1t was because he was going to tes-
tify against me. He would not answer
and told him that II he was going to
testify against me would kill him.
He replied. "Then go ahead and kill
me- then grabbed gun that was in
