A PROFITABLE YEAR.

The past years business In this state
has proved profitable to the fire insur-
ance companies, the loss ratio being
smaller than for so e years. The re-
turns of fire losses made to this de-
partment by the fire companies indi-
cate that there never was a time when
there has been so little business placed
in companies not authorized to do bus
mess in the State as during the past
few years The fact that comparative-
~ few licenses for placing surplus
lines in non-admitted companies and
the foreign stock an" mutual compan-
les have taken care of the insurance
needs of tho public.
At present twenty-one OF the twenty
five largest fire insurance companies
operating in the United States are carry
ing on business In this state. and out
Of eighty-fre companies having assets OF
one million dollars or more each forty
two are licensed In this state, and this
forty-two Is out of total Of forty-sever
foreign stock fire companies licensed IT
this state.

doing business In our state, While these

LIFE INSURANCE.

Although the amount of new busi-
ness written in 1907 by the old line
life companies was smaller than In
previous years, showing decrease OF
nearly twenty per cent. fram the fig
ures OF the preceding year, the aggre-
gate amount OF insurance In force on
the lives of residents OF this State was
larger December 81, 1907, than at the
close OF any preceding year and
amounted to s5s.o24,971.49. an increase
OF twenty-five per cent. since 1901
Within ten years the average amount
OF insurance In force in Vermont has
increased from 800 to $i75 for each
inhab These figures include In
dustrial business. hut do not include
the business of fraternal companies.
The commissioners at the present
time have no recommendations tc
make touching the matter OF legisla'
ton concerning life companies. The
companies doing business in this state
in order to comply with the laws OF
| other States, have made such changes
| In policies and methods that there does
not seem to be any reason why this
state need hasten in matters of legis'
lation, and the policyholders in this
State will lose nothing by allowing th'
laws of other states to be Thoroughly

To Finish Boulevard.

Governor Crothers, DIR. Ira Renscn
and Capt. R. W. Sylvester, members OF
the State Highways Commission, and
Chief Engineer W. w. Crosby, visited
Hyattsville Monday to hear arguments
of citizens relative to the completion Of
the Washington-Baltim boulevard
betw cen Hyattsville and the District of
Columbia line.
The meeting was held in the directors
room Of the First National Bank here,
DR.. Remsen, chairman of the Com
mission, presiding. Mayor Owens vel
coined the vi it ,rs. DR.. Remsen declar
ed that the N embers of the commission
had gone over the proposed route for
the boulevard paralleling the City and
Suburban railroad and had concluded
that the expense involved would reG
der this route impracticable until the
Legislature could be persuaded to ap
propriate sufficient funds. He stated
that it was particularly desirable that the
railway crossing on the line of the pre-
sent turnpike in Hyattsville be avoided.
Although the meeting was held prim
arily to hear persons interested in the
route parallelling the electric railway,
not a single protest was heard relative
to constructing the road over the old
turnpike through Hyattsville and Blad-
ensburg. Elk Mayor DR.. Charles A
Wells, Clerk of the Circuit Court B. d
Stephen and MIR. T. Fl. Duckett all urged
the construction of the road over the
turnpike. Mr.. Stephen suggesting that
sufficient money might be secured with
which to place bridge over the tracks
at the Johnson avenue crossing.
At the conclusion of the speech max
ing the commission conferred, and in
about 10 minutes announced that a de-
cision had been reached to construct
the road over the present turnpike as
soon as funds were available. Applause
greeted this announcement. The COM
mission went to Laurel Monday after
noon to inspect portion of road near
the Midway city.
With the exception of Hartford and
Baltimore counties the Good Roads
commission has visited every county in
the State. Engineer Crosby stated
Monday that with the exception of per-
haps few small sections of road it was
not expected to start general operations
under the 100000 appropriation IN
til next year. Prince Georges county
apportionment of the fund will be

Fourth of July Warning.

Believing that neglect of proper pre-
cautions against tetanus in dressing
wounds resulting from the celebration
of July is responsible for many
of the deaths which follow the holiday,
Surgeon General Wyman, of the Marine
Hospital, has sent out general warn
ing in the public health report.
During the last five years there have
been $40 cases of tetanus as the result
of the annual Fourth of July celebra-
ton, of which 721 have died, mortality
of 95 per cent.
physicians often treat blank car
fridge and other Fourth of July injuries,
Mess of serious character, as trivial"
saws the Government warning, "con-
tenting themselves with picking out the
plainly seen pieces of wad, powder, etc,
and applying a dressing. In few days
the patient returns with symptoms of
tetanus and then, when it is too late,
antitoxin is given, the wound is thor
oughly cleaned out, and perhaps piece
of wad or clothing found in it.
cit should be an invariable procedure
that all Fourth of July wounds be laid
fully open under local or, preferably,
general anesthesia, and all foreign
material and necrotic or badly injured
tissue removed, as the presence OF
blood-clots and necrotic tissue favor
anarobic conditions which are essential
for the development of the tetanus Or
ganism. After the would has been thor
oughly cleaned out it should be swabb-
ed out with strong carbolic acid, fol-
lowed by washing with alcohol or
peroxide of hydrogen, to prevent
further action of the acid
CATER cauterizing the wound should
be thoroughly washed out with II 900
or 1-2, 900 solution of bichloride of mer
curry and packed with gauze soaked in
saturated solution of salicyclic or
boric acid and large wet dressing of
the same solution applied. In no case
should the wound be closed, but it
should be allowed to heal by granula-
ton. The dressing and packing should
be renewed every day"
