DEATHS FROM ANESTHETICS.

They Are Small I'm Proportion to
Cases, but Caution Is Necessary.
The melancholy death under an an
esthetic of the Hon. T. A. Powys, the
young heir and only son of Lord Lii
ford, in the course of an operation not
generally associated with any idea of
danger. Is an event which will direct
public attention to the dangers attend
ant upon the use of anesthetics in gen.
eral and upon the precautions neces-
sary in order to reduce these dangers
to a minimum. From the report of the
inquest upon Mr.. Powys, the London
Times says, it appears that he was suf-
fering from the engagements at the
back of the throat which are common
ly known as the adenoid engagements,
which are not attended by any imme-
date danger to life. A professional
anesthetist was employed to conduct
the administration and he began his
proceedings by complete examina-
ton OF the patient. in which condi-
ton he discovered nothing to call for
esthetic used was a mixture of chloro-
form with ether. and it was not until
the operation was nearly completed
that a sudden failure of respiration
gave warming of imminent danger. A
post-mortem examination disclosed the
existence of condition to which at
tention has recently been called by
other cases of like kind, a condition
called status lymphaticus, which APP
pears not to be discoverable during life
and which involves special danger in
the use of anesthetics.
The occasional occurrence of fatal
consequences from the administration
of chloroform or of ether, however
much to be deplored in the individual
instances, should not be permitted to
divert attention from the enormous
number of cases in which these agents
are administered without Ill effects of
any kind or from the enormous num-
Der in which they save life by permit
ting the performance of operations
which it would be impossible to ac-
complish without their aid.
1t may be safely said that, in round
numbers, there are 5000 successful adj
ministrations of anesthetics for every
death attributable to them, and it is
only the immense number of opera
tions which they have rendered posi-
BILE and successful that explains the
comparatively very small number OF
fatal accidents which have occurred In
a given hospital or in given time.
Notwithstanding the vast preponder-
ance of safety. 1t is impossible to deny
the existence of certain, or rather
of an uncertain. amount of real danger.
and hence there is very general feel
ing that the powerful drugs concerned
have been employed in the past with
somewhat greater freedom than is en-
tirely justifiable.

A TALE THAT Is TOLD.

Civilization of Red Man Completed
with Recent Land Openings.
The opening of three Indian reser-
vations in the West and the parceling
of their share of the public lands to
the Indians marks almost the last
milestone in the conquest of the saw
ages, Golfers says. The Indian be-
comes a homesteader. He takes his
place side by side with the white farm
er and rancher. He has long since
ceased TO roam in the old nomadic
way. He confines himself to period
ical visits to the towns and cities CT
the whites, where he looks with Gu
rious eyes upon the puzzling novelties
of civilization. He discards the blan-

Value of TilInEe.

The limit of production of an acre
of land is measured as much by the
capacity of the man who tills 1t as
by the capacity of the soil itself to
produce large crop. There are few
farmers who till one-half acre of soil
in a manner that will produce the
best and most profitable returns. AS
rule the average farmer has vague
idea of the value of tillage and proper
fertilization. Through the feeding Of
the plants a soil may be rich or poor.
just as the farmer plans his rotation
and cropping system.
Many farmers have been handi-
capped because they have been taught
that clover and other members of the
legnme family were the only means
of increasing the nitrogen content Of
their soils. OF course they are the
best, and In many instances the most
satisfactory means of adding available
nitrogen to the soil, but there are mil
lions of root bacteria awaiting to feed
upon root, stem or organic matter
that may be turned under and make
available nitrogen for another plant

Pneumatic MIX Can.

A recent invention is dairy milk
can which may be filled at the dairy,
Theoretically sealed and kept In this
condition until the contents of the can
are removed at the place of sale. This
result Is effected by the use OF COM
pressed air in the can, which forces
out the contents as needed. The COM
pressed air is sterilized, and every
thing about the milk is kept perfectly
clean.
There is no danger from contami-
nation by exposure to dust and dirt, or
flies or other insects. 1t is impossible
to change or adulterate the contents
of the can in any way from the time
it leaves the dairy until the contents
have been placed in the consumers
hands.
This can is locked. and no liquid
can be pumped into it without break

good yield of bread. These are desira-

why this class OF flour is so popular
for bread making, says the Bakers
Weekly.
The softer winter wheats do not
contain so much gluten and do not
make so large or to- many people so
