.TETANUS OR IOCKJAW
 ORIGIN OF INFECTION
A Few Facts Showing it's Relation to the Toy Pistol and Other Explosive Agencies.

At this season lockjaw, Otetanus), is very popular subject of conversation and it is possible some people do not have any better understanding of that disease than did reporter for The Republican who yesterday asked a phy- sician why it is that Fourth of July accidents so frequently result in it's development. His reply may interest others He said that the tetanus germ turks in the ground, or in stables, cor rals and other places where filth con- gregates. The powder burn itself has no more harmful effects than the se verity of the burn but tetanus infec- tion often follows for the reason that on the Fourthl the victim is very apt to have dirty hands as most shooters of fire crackers are groveling around in the dirt good deal. The seemingly trivial powder burn is dangerous be- cause in the explosion accompanying, the dirt on the part affected is often driven into the tissue and. with it the tetanus germ. Being thus lodged the trivial wound is not given attention until the germ develops. or, if the wound be more serious and d physi-
 
 most impossible to thoroughlycleans a badly lacerated member, or get the antiseptic dressing as deeply into the tissue as the germ has been driven, unless one were to further cut, lacer- ate and mutiate a wound than would seem wise to do, hence the victim has to take that chance after the doctor has done his best.
 There is an antitoXin for locIjaw but it's use is seldom effective unless it can be employed in a very early stage. and it is apt to be too late when the infection is discovered. still it is not desirable to load up everybody with antitoxin, who has had his finger scratched on the mere theory of preventive.
 The toy positol is especially harm ful because so many of the wounds are trivial in appearance that no at tention is paid to them and further because the wounds are most often on the hands which are most likely to be dirty and loaded with germs. The itself is clean enough.
 The same is true of the rusty nail. also an agent for disseminating lock- jaw. The germ is not in the rust but it may be on it is the nail is lying in infected ground. Also such wounds are apt to be on the foot which is quite frequently the least clean of any member of the body. especially if it be barefoot boy strolling around a barnyard

make conditions worse.
 The pessimist may cry out against ttre discomfort and ugliness found in manF of o1r large cities. but the student Of sociology investigates and suggests ways of bettering these conditions. K
 The improving of civic conditions Is more than a question of esthetic taste it Is a moral obligation our local govern ments owe the people. Just as they should 5ie with one another in having a wise executive and judicial admInistrn- tiOI, so should they be equally ambitious to make their cities more attractive and beautiful.
 If modern conditions make 1t necessary for men. women and children to be crowded together in great cities the m1n- ner of living should be made as easy aud attractive as possible When 1t comes 10 questions of civics every city has indis vidual problems that must be solved df- ferently. 2.
 But the most loyal of Americans are forced to admit. after spending some- time abroad, that many of the large Er- ropean cities have many things 10 teach us about the art of embelishing cities.
 Their work has been the more difficult because they had to demollsh mn of the old to make room for, the new Q )ll buildings had to be torn down. parrow
