CURING A SUNBURN.
Oil, to Which Most People Resort, Not
the Thing to Use, Says a Doctor.


Most people seem to believe that oil
will give relief in cases Of Sunburn
which are severe enough to need treat
ment.
1T is certainly high time a doctor
said the other day, that persons suffer
ing from sunburn should known that it
is not going to do them any good to
cover themselves with oil of any kind.
What is needed is a cooling astringent.
An application of oil in any form
will only serve to make the sunburn
worse, yet in nine eases out of ten it viii
be oil in some form that a sufferer will
apply. Where greasy applications will
cause the irritation of sunburn to CON
tinue, a cooling astringent applied on "a
compress will soothe almost imme-
diately"
The sun has this year been blamed for
other evils than sunburns. There has
been an impression that the actinic rays
have been more powerful than usual and
that they have caused much eye trouble.
the sufferers being principally persons
who wear glasses.
There has been no increase in the
sale of our colored glasses" said an OPP
tician in town, asked about the matter,
lin spite of the talk about the actinic
RAYS this summer. There has not been n
summer in recent years without some
story about the actinic rays and their
bad consequences.
AT one time people were wearing yell
low glasses to counteract their effect
one oculist gave his patients amethyst
glasses. and at another time the only

said to be violet glasses. But the people
who kept on wearing their ordinary
glasses seemed to have just as comfort

WAR ON TSETSE FLY.
Regions Depopulated to Deprive the In
sect of the Power of Infection


sect of the Power of Infection.
Sir Henry Hesketh Bell, governor of
the Uganda protectorate, has lately re-
turned 10 London after eighteen months
of strenuous work in tropical Africa.
Thanks to the drastic measures devised
by him and carried out by his admins
tration during the past three years, ac-
curdiug to the London Daily Mail, the
dreaded scourge known as sleeping sick
ness, which has swept away more than
100000 of the inhabitants of the [ gan
da prOtectorate, may now be considered
to he reduced TO manageable proportions.
Col. Sir David Bruce's great discovery
of the part played by the tsetse fly in the
dissemination of the disease Indicated the
lines on which the evil might be dealt
with. In the absence Of "A medical cure
for sleeping sickness Sir Hesketh Bell
came to the conclusion that the only pos
Sible means of coping with the disease
which threatened to eXterminate the en-
tire population, white as well as c0l0red
was to insist upon the removal of all
people from the tly-infested borders of
Lake Victoria into country that is en-
tirely free from tsetse flies This project
involved the removal of about hundred
thousand souls and the absolute depOp-
ulatiOn of strip of country, two miles
in width and several hundred miles in
length. all around the northern shores ef
Lake Victoria.
The whole of the lake shore is now
completely depopulated, and though the
tsetse flies still exist there 10y millions
they can now find but few opportunities
for performing their fatal role. The NOR
tality, which Il few years ago ranged
from 10000 to 10000 a year, fell during
1908 to less than 1000. 1t is anticipated
that within Il comparatively short period
the tsetse flies will have lost their power
of infection, and that it may be possible
before long to repopulate the fertile dis
trints ON Lhn lnkn shove.

The Higher Truthfulness.

To speak the truth is not always So
simple q matter as we might wish. If
it consisted merely in keeping our words
close to the obvious facts of life, as chill
dren suppose, we might attain it more
easily and more often than we do. But
facts themselves become bewilderingly
complex as life advances, and it is no
light task TO set them forth in clear
words IN the effort, say, to explain Il
great movement in which we are inter-
psted. we often find that the most pains
taking truthfulness in detail has resulted
in an entirely false presentation of the
subject as u whole. Or we may try to
describe a dear friend, and find ourselves
helpleSSly setting her forth i'll a nest
unbec0ming light all her peculiaritieS
sharply to the fore, and all her virtues
merely general.
The situation is still further compiicat-
ed by the fact that some truths cannot
be spoken and others must not be. This
statement is in itself a truth that certain
ab0rlouSly accurate persons entirely fail
10 comprehend. They constantly confuse
outspokenness and truthfulness. hurting
out unkind criticisms, for example and
giving an impression of unnecessary
harshness, when their hearts are III reali-
ty full of good will. Their violent exer-
ton in the pursuit of truth makes them
FdFtDTS only Oh lie. y more palnIul
fault, this, and in the end perhaps as
harmful a one as that oyer-insistence
upon harmony which makes gentler per

ciple is at stake, rather than run the risk

The first one bluntiy tells the literal

Their the power of seeing straight.
No one, perhaps, in the world of dark
ness can fairly hope to master this sit
uation. and to arrive always at entire

can ali cndesvor to keep our eyes single,
that our whole body of conduct may be
