TO GIVE HIM LOWER LIP AND CHIN

urement of Memphis Youth.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Nov. 16.-
By cutting his throat and binding
his right arm to the part of the
throat thus opened, two Mem
phis physicians have supplied j.
Allen Hart with a new mouth
and chin. The operation is con-
sidered one of the most difficult
feats In plastic surgery every
performed.
Hart Is now 10. He had no
lower lip since he was two years
old, when gangrene, following
salvation, ate away the flesh of
the lower part of his face, leav-
ing his lower teeth wholly ex-
posed and causing the muscles of
the interior of his mouth to
grow to the lower jaw SO that
his mouth was half closed.
The operation, performed by
Doctors Joseph e. Johnson and
w. l.. Williamson, involved first
the cutting of the lower jaw free
by splitting the mouth to its or
iginal proportion. Next the
throat was split open and the
flap of the back to form the in
ner part of the lower lip and thus
sewed to the muscles of the in
terror of the mouth. Then the
patients right arm was bound
over his htad so that the mus
Giles thereof covered the flesh ex-
posed by the cutting.
After about three weeks the
arm will be cut free and Hart will
face the world with a new set of
features.
There will remain, however,
one difficulty to be surmounted.

Tobacco Prices in the South.

From the kBcnmonO NeWs-Leauei.
There is a great deal of dissatisfaction
on the part of the farmers this year with
the prices received for their tobacco. OF
course, it is the ancient and undoubted
prerogative OF the farmers to srumbie:
but. according to reports. they have some
grounds for 1t in this case, and the
grounds are not smoothed or palliated by
the fact. as they verify believe. that the
difference between the prices paid this
year and last is due to the arbitrary ex-
ercise OF power by the tobacco trust. and
that In this instance as has so often hap
pened before, the trust puts down the
price which IL pays the producers for the
raw material, while maintaining, II not
putting up. the price Of the finished prod
uct exacted from the consumer. Last
year, II is claimed by the farmers. the
prices paid for leaf tobacco were not far
from double what Is being paid this sea-
son. The farmers say that the present
prices do not compensate them for the
labor and expense Of producing and mar
keting the crop.
This Is unfortunate. The necessary re-
suit will be that the farmers will put In
a smaller crop Of tobacco. and many OF
them no crop at all next year. We say
unfortunate. meaning that 1t Is unfortu'

ARMY OF TRAINED NURSES.
$500 Graduate Every Year-22,'
100 Taking the Course,

From the Dietetc and Hygienic Gazette
In 1908 there were in the United States
go training schools for women nurses
with 30, 40 pupils and an annual gradua-
ton roster of over $500. AS there were
in that year /, 4S4 hospitals in the coun-
try. large and small, about two-thirds Of
them were supplied with training schools.
In New York state alone are 116 schools
registered by the board of regents. The
average rate of increase for the first dec
ade after 1872 was two new schools per
annum. whereas the average for the two
succeeding decades was forty-two new
per annlAn. almost one new school
each week.
This unprecedented rate of increase
must necessarily soon decline. for the
larger hospitals are practically all sup
piled. Yet hospitals also are increasing
very fast, and unless the smaller institu
lions adopt some rational system of CO.
operation the number OF training schools
is likely to be further augmented. In
several Of the larger cities there are as
many as nine schools, and in Chicago
there are thirteen.
The present rate of increase Of pupils
in attendance at all the schools exceeds
500 per annum. 1t is reassuring to note
that our new census promises to show a
population of 36.OOO.OOO. SO that each of
you nurses may count upon a clientele
among the sick of about 1900 persons;
that is, If you should all be liberated upon
the community at once.
The 22,1OO pupil nurses care for about
9S, 600 hospital beds, which would furnish
an average of about one nurse for every
four and a half beds. Allowance, how
ever. must be made for probationers not
fully admitted to hospital duty and for
those Oh sick leave. vacation or night
duty SO that the average is probably
nearer one nurse for eight or ten beds.
twenty-five thousand nurses constitute
