The Bingham Celebration.

MT. EditCr: "The ancient planta- lion of Hingham,' Plymouth county, seventeen miles southeast of Boston. on Massachusetts bayi has been jubi- tant Lhis week in celebrating the 215th anniversary of the settlement The specially interesting feature of the eel ebration was the presentation by the Right Honorable James Bryce, the British ambassador, in behalf of the town of Hingham, England, of a flint boulder to the town of Bingham in New England. This boltlder, about as large as a barrel, was borne down on ! glacier from the extreme north of Scotland, hundreds Of years ago, it is believed, and, from time immemorial It has rested in the marketplace of old Hingham, serving as a mounting Itone'' in tho days when men and wo- men rode on horses and not in auto mobiles.
 A few years ago, the Rev. Lewis c. Cornish, pastor of the quaint, old Ship church," in new Bingham, conceived she idea of erecting zL memorial tower h a commanding position, bearing a shims of bells, which shall ring out peace and good will over land and sea. Courtesies have been interchanged from time to time between the two Hinghams, mother and daughter, and when the foundations of the tower were laid, MT. William l.. Clifford. of the memorial committee, went to Eng land, hoping to so far interest the peo- pie of the old town that they would send a contribution that might serve IS a cornerstone. His heart failed him ss he drove down from the cathedral town of Norwich. for he saw never a stone wall, but green hedges, and in the fields. not a stone as large as a potatoi The town council received him courtcously, but laughted as one man when he asked for stone, for while hod fhn uQrTpnGf fpaliI1OC fnr 10 new Hingham and the greatest admi- ration for the project, there was not stone of the size of brick in the entire district, except that one, on the corner.

RASH ALL OVER BABY'S BODY
Used to Itch So He Could Not sleep.

''On July 27. 1909. we left Boston for a trip to England and Ireland. taking baby with. us. After being in Ireland few days a nasty rash came out all over his body. We took him to doctor who gave us medicine for him. The trouble started in the form of a rash and was all over baby's body, head and face, at different times. It irritated, and he would scratch it with all his might. The consequence was it developed into sores, and we were afraid it would leave nasty scars on bis face. When we reached England we took DaDy to another doctor, who gave more medicine. The rash got no better, and used to itch and burn at night SO bad that the child could not sleep. My mother advised us to try Cuticura Soap and Ointment. After using them for about nine months the places disappeared. There are not any scars, or other disagreement, and baby is completely cured. We have had no further trouble

On October q, at Forbes field.

plosion Of coal dust, this time
the benefit of the multitudes. A
temporary steel gallery WIS
erected upon the playing field anG
the coal dust will be placed there.
in A charge of explosives will be
fred into the dust and the explosion
viii follow. This is the demon
stration that President Taft will
witness
But this is to be only small
part of the dramatic program on
that day The Bureau of Mines is
engaged in a number of activities
looking toward a reduction in the
number Of deaths in the mines. 1t
has at the present time, in the vari-
Gus coal fields, seven fully-equipped
rescue cars, manned by expert res
cuers who have been carefully
trained in the use of the oxygen
helmet This helmet permits q.
tificial breathing in poisonous at
mosphere for a period of two hours.
Equipped with one of these he'll
NETS, a rescuer can cutter a mine
Immediately following an explosion
and while the mine is still fllet
with deadly fire damp The res
cuers are thus able to find miners
who have been overcome by
poisonous gases and bring them to
the surface before they die. A
number of lives have been saved
by these helmet men.
The rescuers, in addition, have
been trained in first-aid-to-the
jured work and carry the neces-
sary equipment, including a wonder
full piece of apparatus. an oxygen
reviying outfit that works auto
matically pumping the poisonous
gas out of the lungs of an a
phyxiated miner and filling the lun
with oxygen. This apparatus has
brought apparently dead miners
back to life. 1t has in several in.
stances resuscitated miners who had
been given up for dead.

attend the demonstration and give
friendly exhibitions OF their skill
Al expert corps from the Bureau
of Mines viii give an exhibition
Of rescue work Immediately follow
ing the coal dust explosion in the
steel gallery. The rescuers will
rush into the smoke-flled g.
and bring out the supposed vie
Tins. Demonstrations with tha
ygen reyiving apparatus an
aid will follow. Then the team.
from the coal mines will show
how rapidly and accurately tns
can work in an emergency. Then
viii be contest in the bandaging
.of dangerous wounds and broken
limbs. The miners will show how
to staunch the flow OF blood from
Ia severed artery, how they splint
the body for compound fracture
of the thigh and how they wash a
wound to prevent blood poisoning.
This frst-aid-to-tne-Injured work
is considered extremely Important
among the miners, who have "a much
more difficult problem on their
hands than do employees in Tho
workshops and factories. As 4
rule, when miner is dangerously
wounded, he is generally far intc
the mine. If workman is injured
in factory he can be immedi-
ately rushed to hospital. TIL
factory employee is generally woi
ing in the daylight and it is easy
to see how badly he is injur.
and what precautions should be
taken to prevent the infection Of
his wound, But the miner may be
crushed by fall of coal a mile
or more from the shaft CT the
mine, There is only the faint flick
er of the miners smoky lamps to
throw upon his wound and there is
the long, dark, dangerous and UNI
even mile of underground passages
before he can be brought to the
surface. In some of the mines
these passages are merely black
holes through which the miners
have to crawl on their hands and
knees, dragging the wounded mines
along as gently as possible on a
hastily improyised stretcher
And there is never rack
volunteers on such an occasion.
No enc ever saw miner hesitate
tc go back to the rescue Of
wounded miner, no matter what haG
happened in the mine The real
story of the tragedy of the. mines
is one filled with unparalleled h
rism. The death roll of rescuers il
the last few years attests eloquent
ly to this. No miner can thi
the terrible disasters at Hanna,
Wye, and Cherry, H., without a
tear for the heroes who lost their
lives in attempting to save 0
There were but sixteen miners in
the mine at Hanna when the explo-
sion occurred. Forty volunteers wer
down to bring them out and a sec
ond explosion killed every one in
the mine, including one of the
state mine inspectors and all the
superintendent of mines from the
vicinity. Every man in authority
at that mining camp lost his Z
in that second explosion.
At Cherry, it will be remembered

how twelve men went down the
shaft to the rescue Of the men en-
tombed in the burning mine. WI
the cage finally came up.
rescuers were piled up dead ii
it. At the Pancoast disaster in
Pennsylvania, it viii be recalled
that one OF the Bureau of Mir
trained rescuers lost his life Viii
wearing the oxygen helmet At the
time some said that the helmet
had proved a failure. but this was
not the truth. The rescuer's de-
was caused BY the zeal in his eli
forts to save life. He wc
harder in the helmet than he had
ought to have done and he died
from over exertion, just like some
athletes have done when they at
tempted at superhuman endeavor
The Bureau of Mines rescuer was
a practical miner who had spent
years underground and he was i'm
bued with that heroic spirit that
seems to characterize all men who
share uncommon dangers.
Long before the Bureau of Mines
entered the field to encourage the
establishment of rescue and first
aid corps at the mines, the Ameri-
can Red Cross had been at work.
Several years ago it established a
aid department in charge of Major
Charles Lynch, medical corps, L. S.
army, and employed DR.. NJ. ].
Shields of Scranton, Pa, a pioneer
in this work Doctor Shields con-
fiued his efforts at first to the
anthracite fields of Pennsylvania and
the result is that that region is far
in advance of any other mining
section of the United States. The
volunteer first-aid, rescue and am
bulance corps in the anthracite
fields are in a high state Of eff
cheney. Contests between the teams
are held every year and the war
department details three distinguish
ed officers to act as judges. The
coal mine operators and the Red
Cross award medals of honor e
the members of the winning teams.
These teams will compete at the
National Mine Safety demonstration
before the president and are now
drilling for the event The winne
win be given souvenirs offered by
The coal operators and the pres
entation viii be made by President
Taft After that there will be
parade Of the miners which will be
reviewed by the president
The Bureau OF Mines, under Her
bert NJ, wilson engineer-in-charg
of the Pittsburg experiment station
the Pittsburg Coal Operators asso-
citation and the American Red Cross
are bending every effort to me-
this demonstration a great success
They believe that the actual seeing
of these explosions by the miners
will give them new sense of re-
sponsbility as to their dangers and
the contests between the first-aid
teams will lead to more enthusiasm
and better organization along til
line. The assertion is made {
proper emergency medical attend
ance such as first-aid is, will say
a number of the lives that are noN
being lost and that many of thos
who are injured will not be crippled
for life, as formerly. Pennsylvania
alone loses a regiment of men
year in its coal mines, and is
therefore taking an intense inter-
est in the coming demonstration.

Nervious Feet

Many women have nervous feet" said a dealer in women's shoes in large ce- partment store recently. q have been selling shoes for the greater part of my life, and l have made study of how the shoes affect the mind and the body ' have studied the structure of the foot
 My experiences have convinced me that many women have unusually sensitive feet. l call them nervous feet If they do not get a shoe that fits them proper ly their entire nervous system is effected. Such women often spend money on doc tors bills when all they really need is a pair of shoes that fits them. Sometimes the pressure of the shoe on a narrow in- step will make trouble for woman, ir- ritating her to an extreme extent. Again, the shoe may not pinch at any particular place, but so affect all the nerves of the feet as to wear out the entire nervous system. l am convinced that if women would give more care to getting a proper
 fit in their shoes rather than looking for high heels, they would be much happier''
