may be either below, in front of. or
behind its normal position. Sometimes
1t goes back into place very easily.
and so 1t is a good plan to attempt to
reduce 1t two or three times at least,
This should be done by having the pa.
tient lie down on his back and fixing
the shoulder so that IL is fairly sta.
ttonary. as having some one to hold
IL, and pulling down on the arm. The
pull should be steady and considerable
force used, but it must not be jerked
by a sudden pull. Sometimes the
person giving the first aid can get a
better pull and also assist in pushing
the head of rhe bone into place by re-
moving one OF his shoes and placing
his heel under the injured shoulder
and pulling while bracing himself in
this way. Care must be taken not to
push up under the arm too forcibly,
as there is considerable danger Of in.
juring the blood vessels and nerves
that pass along under the shoulder.
The Elbow.
The elbow is quite frequently dislo-
Gated as the result of fall or twist
The usual kind is to have the bones OF
the forearm dislocated backward. but
they may go to either side or both
backward and to one side. This dislo

ly as possible and pulling down on
the leg, at the same time having an
assistant try to push the head of the
bone towards its normal position. The
muscles around the hip joint are so
powerful that 1t is often necessary to
give a general anesthetic in order to
relax the spasm of the muscles which
accompanies every dislocation.
The Knee.
Dislocations at the knee joint may
take place in any direction The at.
tempt should be made to reduce them
by the same general methods as in
dislocations of the hip. but this usual
ly is rather difficult to accomplish.

London Goes to Bed Early

recently in a popular west end thor

were not enough thirsty and hungry
souls abroad after midnight to meet

The fact is that Londoners have
hnco.ie so used to the restrictions OF
the excise law that they nave formed
the habit of going to bed early. The

Al times the whole tosut may appear
and relaxed. In a very short
.fm- yelling takes place and then the
pain which may have been lessened
for a time, returns. Movement of the
joint now may be greatly lessened or
prevented altogether. 1t is very de-
sirable that the physician see the
sprain before the swelling becomes
too marked, because when IL is pres
ent, 1t is next to impossible to tell
whether or not partial dislOcation OF
fracture also exists.
In treating a sprain we want TO
limit the degree OF swelling as much
as possible. This will tend to lessen
the pain and the time of disability on
account of the sprain In slight sprains
the part may be bandaged tightly or
strapped with adhesive plaster (which
is usually kept at all drug stores and
is handy thing to keep in the house
hold, and the patient allowed to use
the TART the same as before.
Severe sprains should be put at rest
for "A to SO hours and the part kept
elevated so as to lessen the amount of
blood to the part Soaking the part
IN cold water while it is gently rubbed
is usually the most effective way of
reducing the swelling. Sometimes
very hot water is more comfortable
and often acts as efficiently as cold.
The part should then be bandaged
tightly az the pressure in a measure
prevents swelling. Care must be ex-
ercised here not to get the bandages
too tight. The injured part should be
watched closely so that the swelling
does not make the bandages too tight
Quite serious harm can be done by
too much pressure being applied
After the acute pain has subsidized and
the swelling has ceased getting great
er, usually about the beginning of the
second "a hours. gentle massage and
passive movements working and
moving the joint with the hands,
should be begun and the force used
should be gradually increased. After
a few days the part may be strapped

severe sprains should be put at rest
for a day or two, it is not advisable
to put them up in splints or plaster

Dislocations are severe sprains that

and are cue to some malformation of

BERLIN BEAUTY PLANS

tial traffic streets are to be carried
out scientifically. while intermediate
residential streets are to be made
most agreeable places to live in. There
will be intermittent use of trees, or
short rows of trees, or small trees,
shaped open spaces at a street corner,
all of which break the line of a street
and give every street its own individ-
uality. This type of planning per-
mits the streets to rise and fall with
the natural grades in the suburbs. No
street is to continue in an absolutely
straight line, as in America, nor do
cross streets intersect opposite to
each other. The streets are to be of
different widths, and even the same
street will vary as to width. Some
houses will set back. others WIFI pro-
ject This will give a most pictur-
esque and old-time air to the neigh
borhood.
More than $4,000 has been spent
in plans, and the best architects and
landscape gardeners in Germany have
contributed their ideas The New
York playground plan is to be tried.
A suburb beautiful is being laid out
near Dresden. another near Nurem-
burg, and still another on the out
skirts of Munich. The Swiss are try
ing the plan just on the borders of
Berne. A garden city" is growing up
close to Dourges, in France. The
same general principles are being fol-
lowed in all these, the idea being to
create within easy distance of the
large city an Independent community
on copartnership lines, with all the
features of a complete town. Facto-
ries are encouraged, but they are per-
mitted to locate only on the side
where the prevailing winds will carry
their smoke away from the town.
Dusseldorf and Antwerp are con-
sidering the scheme.

Increase in the Insane.
According to Secretary Tappins OF
the state board of control, the insane
population of the state on September
80. 1900, was 1855, and the number in
county asylums at that time was 1884,
The ratio of insanity to population
vas one in every 1898. The total
amount of money received by county
asylums for 1900 was 1866. S76.0S, as
against $470,143.14 in 1910.
In comparing the ratio Of insanity
to population. the ratio in 1900 was
one in every 39S, against one in every
359 in 1908. The ratio for 1910 has
not yet been determined. The ratio
of insanity for 1910 will be based upon
the new census.
The total insane population OF the
state on September 30. 1900. was
4.s5s, as against 6.54S on June 80.
1910.
In county asylums there are large
number of self-supporting patients
and the amount received by county
asylums from the self-supporting pa
tients is about $4,000 year. In the
hospitals for the insane the percent
age of self-supporting patients is very
small.

this amount the state also pays for

FURS IN ENGLAND CHEAPER

London.-There is some prospect of
a fall next year in the present high
price of furs.
Presiding the other day at the an
nual meeting of the Hudson's Bay
company, Lord Strathcona said the re-
ports from Canada indicated that
there were evidences of continued In
crease in the number of fur bearing
animals, which justified the anticipa-
ton that there would be further in
crease in the present year in the fur
collection which would be available
for 1911.
Any material increase In furs would
have the effect of reducing the enor-
mously high prices which had pre-
vailed in the fur market.

that the courts have In the affairs of

THE reason that the sophomores
have not hazed the freshmen this year
is not that they are afraid of them,
but that they have respect for the
system In vogue here. II is because
they desire that the University Of Wis
