plcRlc ACID FOR BURNS

Put your finger in the fire and II
need not burn. Chance led to the dis
covery of a remedy which instantly VIII
cause burns to cease from being pain
full and also causes injured flesh to heal
with miraculous speed.
DR.. Thierry, a physician in the tarls
Charity Hospital, was in the habit or
using picric acid as an antiseptic, so
that his hands were impregnated with
the solution. One day in lighting a.
cigarette he dropped portion OF the
burning match in his hand, but in
stead of feeling it he noticed not the
slightest pain,
A short time afterward while sealing
a letter some of the burning wax stuck
10 his finger, and though 1t cauterized
the skin, he felt nothing. He began
a series Of experiments in healing burns
with a saturated solution of picric
acid. All pain instantly was suppressed.
After having bathed the wound in
solution of this acid blisters did not
form and a cure was effected after four
or five days,
The only Inconvenience was that the
acid colored the skin yellow. But this
Is rapidly remedied by washing with
boric acid. The cheapness of picric'
acid and sthe ease with which a proper
solution is prepared have induced many
Partisan manufacturers to place Jars
within easy reach OF their workmen.

TIMELY STRIKE LESSON

The great strike of railway trainmen
has been averted, thanks to the con-
siderate attitude Of the railway man
ayers and the intelligent leadership Of
the men.
But the issue hung in the balance
several days, and there was cause for
the gravest fear of a final rupture.
The extreme gravity of the situation
as viewed at Washington was evinced
by the presidents personal efforts for
a peaceful settlement 1t required the
assistance of every potent influence to
avoid what threatened to be a ma
tional calamity.
Suppose that the peaceful efforts had
failed. 1t is timely to consider that
momentous question in view of the
narrow escape from a strike.
Nearly all the middle state and west
ern railways We're involved in the issue
presented at Chicago. If the trainmen
employed on those roads had precipi-
tated strike they undoubtedly would
have been backed by sympathetic ac-
ton on the part of trainmen on the
eastern and southern lines. The whole
railway system Of the United States
would have been in a state of enforced
suspension.
A stoppage Of railway transporta-
tion would have Immediately affected
almost every important industry in the
country, Farmers could not have mar
keted their produce, factories could
neither have received supplies OF raw
materials nor shipped their goods,
needful domestic supplies would quick
ly have been exhausted and a sure
enough national calamity would neces-
sarily have resulted.
It is manifestly the part of wisdom,
therefore, to erect safeguards against
a repetition OF the peril that has lust
been passed by a close shave" And
the imminence of the danger thus es-
capped makes the time opportune for
devising ways and means to avoid
similar peril In future.
1t would seem that the plan OF a
sliding scale for the adjustment Of
wages. which has been tried success
fully in several industrial lines. might
Los Angeles herald., 1907-04-06

be feasible in railway operation and
all other lines requiring large numbers
OF employees That plan makes the
wage schedule dependent on the net
earning capacity Of the business. In
proportion as profits Increase as a re-
suit Of prosperous times wages are
advanced, the reverse occurring in dull
periods Of business.
That plan Is fair and equitable for
all interests It would be more difficult
TO adapt 1t to railway operation than
to manufacturing enterprises, but prob
ably the difficulty might be sur
mounted. Railway profits are readily
determined, but in order to adjust them
on a basis Of mutuality it would be
necessary to estimate railway values
at figures with the water" eliminated.
The sliding wage scale and inhuen-
tial arbitration seem to afford the
most hopeful solution to the menace
of disasters caused by strikes and
lockouts.

CONCERNING FIRE ESCAPES

In putting UP a legal fight against the
ordinance relating to fire escapes the
owner Of prominent office building
says: ut is not a question of putting
fire escapes OIL buildings, but of the
kind and size"
So far as the public is concerned,
especially the occupants of buildings
that should be equipped with sucn ap-
pliance, and all other persons who have
occasion to enter such buildings, the
question in point does not relate to the
kind and size of the fire escapes. The
kind demanded, whether suited or not
to the economic views of property
owners, is the kind that will enable per-
sons to get out of endangered buildings
with safety. The questions of dimen-
sion and cost are secondary considera-
ton.
1t is true, as the property owner
quoted declares, that "a walk down any
of the principal business streets would
convince any man that the fire escape
ordinance is not complied with" This
SNSe'N0S tliC SAHC VI lllG GSCdpGS SpGCllleu
In the ordinance does not accord with
building owners ideas of economy. It'll
costs too much, in the estimation of
such owners, to provide escapes that
would assure safety in case of emer-
gency.
Los Angeles owes a great deal to good
luck in having escaped calamities re-
sulting from fires in structures that
lack just such appliances as the or
dinance requires. If owners of build
ings are unwilling to expend the neces-
sary money to insure safe exit in case
of fire it surely is within the scope Of
the law to compel compliance.
Effective fire escapes should be a sine
qua non on all buildings wherein life
would be jeopardized in the event Of a
fire. Los Angeles is so deficient in this
respect that the omission is a matter
of notice by all observant strangers.

Mayor Harper is reported to be hold
ing up the ordinance providing a tax
upon fortune tellers in fear that 1t may
be prohibitive. Even If his fear We're
warranted, It should command his ap-

well known that these fortune tellers
are simply takers of the crudest and
most dangerous variety. But the may

said they were going to Los Angeles
and invited him to come along. He is
IA years of age and does not want any
aid except chance to work. His clothes
and shoes were in such a condition
when he arrived that he could not pos
sibly secure a position.
Happy with New Clothes
He was as happy as a king with his
bundle of clothes. II am going to have
some new shoes, too" he contided to

The bridge at Seventh street will
eventually be one for the heaviest and
largest traffic, and it would be a grave
error to allow its construction at grade.
If the railroads are throwing their in
fuence against viaduct, as charged,
they are making a costly mistake
Grade crossings cost railway companies
more money in damages than the finest
Viaducts that can be built. The board
of public works should make this fact
clear.
Los Angeles herald., 1907-04-06

The proposed new bridge at Seventh
street should be built as a viaduct and
not at grade. 1t is the duty Of the
board of public works and the rail-
roads interested to reach an under
standing on this question. Grade cross
ings are always source of danger
and Los Angeles already has too many
of them.

City officials should see that the ordi-
