Spinal anaesthesia is no new thing,

But DR.. Jonnesco uses stovaine COM

are two essential points of novelty

the spinal column appropriate to the
region to be operated upon. An anaes-

the addition of stryohnine. is tolerated
by the higher nervous centers."
Professor Jonnesco prefers stovaine
to tropa-c6caine and novocain, though
he Admits that the latter are equally

MUST NOT GET
drunk ON TRAIN
Mr., Leftwich Has Presented a Bill
Providing Punishment for Those.
Who Do, Such Things.

Special to The Netoa
jackson, Jan. 26.-You must not
get drunk on a passenger train, ac-
cording to a bill introduced in the
senate yesterday by Mr.. Leftwich,
chairman of the committee on tenn
perance in that body.
The Leftwich bill is one of a series
of several measures that have been
introduced to strengthen the. statutory
prohibition law Briefly stated, it pro-
vides that a person who becomes in
toxicated on board a passenger train
within the limits of this state shall
be put off at the first station where a
stop is made and turned over to the
authorities for punishment in accord
ance with the statutes provided for
men who acquire stationary jags..
AS Mr.. Leftwich sees it, there is no
difference between a travelling jag
and the ordinary form of drunk with
out trimmings, and he believes that
this offense is sufficiently cummon on
railroad trains in Mississippi to make
necessary a specific statute provfd-
ing a manner of punishment.

WOMAN OR LApYG

Mere man Is in very embarrassing
situation In this age of advanced think
ing. He never knows whether to refer
to his friends as women" or ladies' .
If the women of his acquaintance hap
pen to be advanced In their views-they
will resent being termed ladies. /"
Women" is good, strong word which
appeals to many of the new school
thinkers. But still there are many who
cling to ladies" and think OF II in it's
best and broadcast sense.
However, 1t must be getting very
much out Of fashion to talk about Ia
dies" If these words from Mrs. Jessie
Stubs. a prominent Chicago clubwo-
man, may be taken as representative of
the opinion of progressive women:
/ am not a lady" Nothing makes
me so angry as to be called lady"
or to be told am ladylike. 1t is not
compliment.
The true definition of lady" to my
mind, is female who has neither the
brains to think nor hands to work
with. am thankful am a woman and
can think and act intelligently.
1t is true that every one receives
with feeling of regret that girl has
been born, because 1t is natural for
people to rejoice when a boy comes
into the world. The boy will have a
voice in the government, and the girl
will not That is the first thought that
comes to us, but when the modern wo-
man is called upon to be a citizen of
the state this will change, and II will
not matter whether boy or q girl is
born.

BRIGHT CROP PROSPECTS.

The spring fever is on. The desire
to tickle the soil and get close to nature
is abroad in the land. The first spring
breeze brings the call OF the soil and
the former farmer boys-who are en-
deavoring to drag out an existence in
the cities-feel like needing the cry.
North Dakota farmers are starting on
the 1910 agricultural campaign under
very favorable auspices. There was a
great deal more snow in the Red river
valley this winter than elsewhere in
the state-and there are the usual
number of thousands Of acres under
water, temporarily. This will soon dis
appear and the land will be In fine
shape for spring work.
In several counties the farmers are
already in the fields. Dragging is re-
ported in Towner, Dickey, Sargent,
Foster and other parts of the central
section of the state. The farmers all
expect at least one more storm before
the spring really opens, but they are
eager to get to work after the long
winters rest.
The forehanded agriculturalists have
their machinery prepared, the seed
wheat cleaned and the more careful and
scientific ones have made tests Of fits
terminating qualities.
The prospects for the state are
bright Last fall was an excellent sea-
son for late farm work and there was
an unusual amount of blowing done
There is more preparedness than in
some other seasons. There has been
enough snowfall and cold during the
winter to place large amount of
moisture in the soil. This Is almost a
guarantee Of good crops in the valley
and with a reasonable amount OF rain
during the summer the rest of the
state will be safe.
The outlook In North Dakota is de-
cidedly more optimistic in it's nature
than otherwise.
If you don't believe task the farm
ers.
