CHRISTMAS SUGGESTIONS

fine stitches not to show or with cross
stitches to form part of the design.
Tie with ribbon at the top and stick
pins around the edge taking care that
they are very evenly placed so as to
add to the beauty Of the gift.
For Handy Boy.
The trouble with most medicine
shelves is that they are so likely to
have the various bottles misplaced or
upset. The boy who is skillful with
tools may make a very useful gift by
taking two pieces Of board the exact
size of the shelf. In one cut openings
just the size OF the bottles. Nail two
narrow strips OF board at the ends
and nail the corresponding board on
the bottom. Paint to match the in
terror of the medicine cabinet.
The Prettiest Pen-wiper Of All.
To make the prettiest PEN wiper OF
all take rather large snapshot of the
baby Of the house. Mount 1t on a stiff
piece of cardboard. Fasten heavy
white wool around the edges TO sim
ulate hood and make simple ribbon
ties at the bottom. The leaves should
be of white flannel buttonholed about
the edges with white.

Squirrels Carry Plauae.

Washington, d. c.. Dec. 20.--The pos
sible spread of bubonic plauge through
squirrels to such an extent as to be-
come real menace to sections where
no cases have SO far appeared has
been called to the attention of the
house committee on agriculture by Sec
rotary Wilson.
The public health service has asked
the biological bureau Of the department
of agriculture to devise some means
for destroying the squirrels through
which infection has spread. in isolated
cases, over 500 square miles in Cali
fornia.
Secretary Wilson regards 1t as inn
portant to stamp out the bubonic
plauge as to make the campaign

v. s. GREAT COFFEE
DRINKING NATION

Washington, Dec. 2O.-Every Amer
lean who takes his cup OF coffee might
like to know that in the ten months of
this year he has helped use up Just
$64,OO0,0OO worth, s45,OOO,0OO pounds.
and that eight ninths of it came from
South America.
And of all that, Brazil furnished
more than 60O.O0O,0Oo pounds of the
delicious beans.
Coffee is only an indication OF the
proportions OF what the rate between
the United States and South America
has assumed this year. All previous
records for South America imports
will be passed according 20 the de-
partment Of commerce and labor.
The total value OF all the imports WIN
be more than S2s0.OOo.0o0. The Inn
ports in general show an increase OF
40 per cent over last year.
In rsturn our exports 70 South
America will probably equal, n they
do not exceed the high mark MADE In
1907 when they touched $4,000 o0o.

the fact that such an operation had
been performed. DIR. Plondke was
willing, however, to talk of stovaine in
a general way.
The agent is not new in Europe
where it has been in use to a limited
extent for three years or more, al
though used longer experimentally.
do you regard stovaine as the an
aesthic of the future, the ideal an
aesthic?" DR. Plondke was asked.
Il do not" he replied. TT is I'M
doubtedly a great aid to the surgeon
especially in certain cases. but 1t is
far from perfect now. 1 would advise
it only in certain cases."

Use STOVAINE
WITH SUCCESS
LOCAL SURGEONS TRY NEW AN.
AESTHETIC ON PATIENT
WHO JOKES DURING
OPERATION.

st. Paul, Dec. 10.-For the first time
in the medical history of st. Paul and
the northwest, stovaine, the new spinal
or regional anaesthetic, was success
fully used yesterday when DR.. F. J.
Plondke, assisted by DR.. George Lemke
performed a major operation with its
aid
The operation took place at st. Jo-
seph's hospital and was entirely sue
cessful. The patient, sixty-tive years
old, had a tumor of the bladder, which
was removed with absolutely no pain.
The patient was perfectly conscious
and conversed freely, at times jocular-
~, with the physicians and nurses
while the operation was in progress.
The patient needed what is usually
considered severe operation and one
which heretofore has been performed
under chloroform or ether. An exam
ination of his heart showed, however.
that the administration of either of
these agents would be attended by Sc
rious risk, so it was decided to make
use of the comparatively new drug,
stovaine.
Heart Is Stimulated.
The case was originally that of DIR.
Lemke, but DR.. Plondke was called in,
as he spent much time recently in
vestigating the uses of stovaine in
many medical centers abroad, and saw
more than 800 operations under its in
fiuence.
About five-sixths of grain OF sto-
vaine was introduced into the spinal
canal in the form of a 10 per cent So
luton in normal salt and alcohol a
similar amount of the spinal fluid hav-
ing previously been withdrawn as a
precaution against the severe head
ache which sometimes follows the use
Of the drug.
No Pain During Operation.
The introduction of the agent is
practically without pain. Anaesthesia
followed in about ten minutes and the
patient was ready for the operation, no
morphine or other medicine being adj
ministered.
During the operation the patient
complained Of no pain and even joked
with the physicians and nurses. The
anaesthic was introduced between
two of the lumbar vertebra, generally
known as the small of the back" and
the body from that point downward
was paralyzed both as regards feeling
and motion during the time the opera
ton was in progress. There is also
said to be complete relaxation OF the
muscles which, from a medical stand
point. is an important point in many
operations, especially those which af-
feet the abdomen.
Stomach Not Disturbed.
The operation proper occupied only
about twenty minutes. although the
dressings which followed required more
time. Following the operation the pa
tient was placed in bed where he said
that he never felt better and that he
was hungry. He was given a light
lunch, which he retained, showing no
disturbance of the stomach.
Four hours after the operation the
nurse in charge of the patient reported
that he was feeling excellent, that
he had retained his nourishment and
that the paralysis of the lower limbs
had passed away.
Neither DR. Plondke nor DR.. Lemke
would discuss the details OF the opera
ton for publication beyond confirming

Little Gifts Made by Little Folks.


Pen-wipers and pin cases are among
the easy small gifts. A child should
not be allowed to undertake too much
as an unfinished gift is usually the
result and much discomfort for the
small worker.
Pen-wiper OF Leather in Cut Work.
Any color may be chosen. Suede
leather is the prettiest and most used.
A circle of brown leather with the first
lining of green silk and the underlying
rounds OF either white or brown fam

one for whom the gift Is intended has
prevailing color in the various art
icles she uses, take the time and care
to make your gift harmonic. Tie a
various rounds of leather and cloth
and make into smart bow on top.
A Butterfly Pen wiper.
This will take little more work
than the leather one. The foundation
is of silk, the edges buttonholed in a
contrasting shade. The veins and
other ornaments are worked solid. For
the attenrae small wire securely
wrapped with fine silk is necessary.
The small figures may be worked in
eyelet work and the underlying cloth
will make the spots show very pref
tily. The under leaves are Of thin.
fine wool goods and should have the
edges pinlxed with the scissors in tiny
points. The bands around the body OF
the butterfly should go completely
around all the leaves and may be OF

HARRISON MAY
QUIT Y. N. c. A.
LOCAL PHYSICAL DIRECTOR
WISHES TO STUDY MEDICINE
OFFICIALS OF ASSOCIATION
HOPE He WILL NOT LEAVE AT
PREsENT-MATTER UP IN AIR.

The members of the Y. M. c. A. and
in fact a large number of people all
when they heard it rumored that
Cnas. Harrison, physical director Of
the Fargo Y. M. C. A, intended to re-
sign the first of the year. In fact there
was hardly a person who could be-
lieve it.
Mr.. Harrison has been in Fargo just
one year today and during that time
he has built up the physical depart
ment to high status of efficiency that
1t had never before reached. For this
reason and the fact that it will be
difficult to secure a physical director
to take his place at this time of the
year, the members of the physical
committee and in fact all connected
with the Y. M. G. A., could hardly
credit the statement.
It Is understood that several petit
,.ons are being circulated which will
be signed by every member Of the
association-both boys and men
asking him to remain with the Fargo
association at least for a time longer.
VIII GA00T WG0tStUSs.
In an interview with a representa-
tive of The Forum this morning Mr..
Harrison said that he wished to take
No the study OF medicine in the med
ical college OF the Nashville univer-
Mty.
This is something that every ply
steal director should know" said Mr.
Harrison. 1T will make him a much
more valuable man to the association.
in fact he can hardly get along with
out it. OF course / have completed
courses in hygiene and physiology but
nave never taken up pathology, some-
thing / have found is necessary to
successful work.
ct cuts me up very much to leave
Fargo and the associations / have had
here. I have taken a great interest
in my work and have done all in my
power to build 1t up. Speaking, not
in an egotistic way, / feel that right
now is the only time | nave been
able to leave the work. / have put it
on a basis where new man can
start right in and carry 1t on. ! have
had this idea OF taking a medical
course in my mind since early last
fall but felt that / could not leave the
work until now"
When asked about Mr.. Harrison's
resignation, Rev. Chas. r. Adams OF
the First Presbyterian church said:
Il did not know a thing about 1t un-
til today and / was greatly surprised
/ do hope that he Will not leave just
at this time as it will be next to
impossible to get a man to take his
place
Harry Alsop, chairman Of the physi-
cal committee. when asked what he
knew about Mr. Harrison's resigna-
ton, said. Il don't know anything
about it except what have heard
rumored. I did not think that Mr.
Harrison would leave us in this man
ner'
Mr.. Harrison has not formally ten
dered his resignation but 1t Ii prob
able that he viii do so.
