sprinkler. The solution must be put on
in the form of a fine spray applied

A common bucket, spray pump, or even
hand atomizer, for very small areas,
is suitable, providing it makes a fine
forcible spray. Do not try to hit the

NAILS AND BLOOD POISONING

Our grandmothers used to tell us that
wounds from rusty nails were poisonous,
and that we must not pick or scratch
sore with the finger nails, as they too
were poisonous to wounds.
These admonitions were based on OBJ
servation and experience, and though
we now know that neither of these old
sayings is literally true, we also know
that under ordinary conditions both
rusty nails and finger nails may poison
wound even to the extent of produc-
ing serious or even fatal blood poison
ing, and, what is more, we know why
it is so and how to prevent it.
About thirty years ago Lord Lister
began the treatment of wounds, both
accidental and surgical, by what was
called the antiseptic method. His prac-
tice was based on the theory that poi
soning (infection) of wounds and of
the whole system through a wound
(blood poisoning) was produced by or
ganisms (bacteria) which caused pus
-(suppuration in wound. These con
illusions were arrived at through the
study of wounds and by experiments un
animals, and as result of work along
these lines by Pasteur, Lister and other
doctors, many thousands of human lives
have been saved and many life saving
surgical operations, previously impossi-
BILE or extra-hazardous, have become
safe and untold human suffering has
been prevented or relieved. This admir-
able object lesson teaches many impor-
tant things, not the least Of which Is
the debt the human family owes to the
great teachers who have worked out

The annual school election for dis

one member of the school board AMI
resulted in the reelection of S. J. Lowe
by handsome majority over his op-

The vote was one of the largest ever
cast in the district and while the chief
interest centered in the vote on the
county high school, the vote on that
proposition being taken at the same
time, each candidate had a number of
personal workers who We're not over

Mr., Cross candidacy was champion

their opinions in that respect.

EDWARDS and
WILSON SENTENCED

Since the last issue of the Post or
to be more precise, about 1880 last
Saturday forenoon, Judge Shumate
called before him in the district court
John H. Wilson and James E. Edwards
who had on the previous day been by d
jury convicted of robbing the Citizens
National bank of over 100000, and
asked each if he had anything to say
why sentence should not be pronounced.
Wilson declared that he had nothing
to say and that whatever talking was
necessary in his behalf would be done
by his attorney. He answered few
questions propounded him by the judge
concerning his relatives, but made no
plea for leniency and neither confessed
nor denied his guilt. Judge shumate
then sentenced Wilson to not less than
twenty nor more than thirty years in
the state penitentiary at hard labor.
As soon as an opportunity was given
Edwards he arose and stated to the
court that he was innocent of the
crime for which he had been convicted
and said that he was satisfied that some
dsu, the truth would come out and he

not especially blame Mr.. Drach as BIZ
