Mr.. Kellogg makes no claim that

that the fire-hghting operation in the

According to this theory, one may

OPERATED ON own BODIES
Cases Of Four Heroic Surgeons Who
Established Records for Acts
Of "Autotomy."

The recent report from San Fran.
cisco that a surgeon there had at
tempted to operate upon himself for
appendicitis recalls to DR.. Paul
Reclus four instances where surgeons
actually did succeed in performing
operations upon themselves. He re-
counts them in the Lancet, and the
following appears in the Medical Rec
ord:
Paul Reclus has commented on
the courage and stoicism necessary
for the act Of what he calls 'au-
totomy.' or surgical operation upon
ones own body. He has described
at some length four examples OF this
heroic procedure. The first story is
that Of a French surgeon who, having
asquired q small outgrowing tubercu-

and performing all the necessary
movements with the diseased right

tory. His only discomfort was a little
nausea at the unpleasant sensation of
scraping his own periosteum; this
was, however. corrected by q sip Of

LANCASTER, Pa, Oct. 80,

LANCASTER, Pa, Oct. 80, 1912.
The local leaf market the past week
has been dull, but why it should be is
rather puzzling, in view of the activity
prevailing in the cigar industry of this
and adjoining counties.
Recently lot of old goods was drawn
from local warehouses by the big deal
ers and manufacturers of other cities
that packed our tobacco last year and
in 1910. But these people still have a
big lot of goods of the last two years
left in the warehouses.
Considering the high character of the
1911 goods it is rather surprising they
are not more in demand. Any amount
of inquiries are being made regarding
them, but the stumbling block to their
sale is said to be the price. On this
our packers are firm in their demands.
1t was high priced tobacco, considering
the dull state of the general market
when it was bought, too high priced in
fact, but as they have it, they feel that
they cannot, in justice to themselves,
take less than what they are asking.
The 1911 is particularly desirable filler
tobacco. 1t is free burner and has a
good bouquet, and its other qualities
for cigar are fully up to the required
standard.
Very little of the new crop has been
contracted for for two reasons: One is
that the packers do not care to buy at
present, and the other is that the grow
ers do not care to sell.

New England.

SPRINGFIELD, MASS, Oct. %, 1912.
Buyers are in the Valley in consider
able numbers, but the mad haste to
buy tobacco at the farmers own price
is gone and the figures of the midsum-
mer buying fest nave not been exceed
ed in any recent sales. 1t would not be
fair to the farmer to say that prices
are beginning to recede, but it is fair
to state that the crest has seemingly
been reached and that the average
grower who sold his crop in the field in
July or August received the top figure
for the particular kind of tobacco in
volved.
Much of the primed tobacco raised
this year was contracted for last win
ter at. about 25 cents pound in the
bundle. Growers who did not make
contracts before the ground was plow-
ed received rather better prices than
those who did. Growers are still dis
cussing the pros and cons of printing,
the consesus of opinion being that the
buyer gets the best of the printing con-
tracts. The buyers, on the other hand,
point out that after making every al
lowance for added cost, the grower re-
ceives cent or two pound more than
the top price paid for tobacco cured on
the stalk
In addition priming can be begun at
an earlier date than cutting and the
grower who primes his tobacco fares
far better in the event of hail storm
than does his neighbor who set out his
crop at the same date and must wait
for the whole plant to ripen before be-
ginning to cut.

NEW YORK. NOV

NEW YORK, Nov. 2, 1912.
1t was rather a quiet week for the
leaf market. To contract for future
delivery seems to be rather early yet,
while the demands for immediate sup
ply have become scarce. Factories are
so busy that their attention is rivlted
on rushing out their orders rather than
on replenishing their raw material. Be-
sides politics seem to have engrossed
the trade and to furnish it with mater
ial during the closing week of the pres
idential election. Of course, specula-
tion is rife as to what will happen to
the trade if the economic policy of the
country should undergo change as the
result of the election. But as to this
nobody can foretell until the die is cast.
Local cigar factories are still rather
quiet considering the time of year, but
the demand for high grade goods is
showing some increase. Normally, the
fall boom should be we'll under way by
now, and orders for holiday business
pouring in. A certain amount of holi-
day business is being booked, it is true,
but nothing like previous seasons. -

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.

EDGERToN, WIS, Nov. 8, 1912.
The buying of the balance of the last
seasons tobacco is proceeding quietly,
but the effort is mainly directed to-
wards securing the late ends and low
grade portions of the crop in the inter
ests of the strippers at prices ranging
around Z cents straight. An occasion
81 lot of better grades is also contract
ed for. A few sample sales will show
the range taken:
Owen Boyle, 10a at 10&3c.
Ludden Bros, 5a at 9&3c.
E. L. Ladd, Ga at &c.
S. w. Stockman, Ga at 7c.
Geo. Quale, Ia at &c.
M. Boyle, 8a at 7c.
L. K. Thompson, Ia at 7c.
H. Hanson, ga at &c.
The old leaf market has a very
healthy tone and all goods of binder
nature is in demand. Sampling of last
seasons packings is now well along
and the samples are being displayed in
the eastern centers where ready sale
is expected. S. E. Simonson & Co.
sold 1O4cs lot of 10 BIS to Geo. B.
Gary for the account of P. Lorillard

John Holiness sold 33cs lot of IL to
A. Jenson & Sons.
A short season of cold weather has
possibly produced few fat stems in
unprotected sheds holding late portions
of the crop.
The shipments out of storage reach
about 250cs from this market since

request of the citizens of that thriv-

Postofice Department a carrier SER
vice cannot be installed unless an
Office has gross receipts of sIo, 900

request was made to have it made
a part of the carrier system of Port
land, with the result that a special
inspector has been appointed TO in
vestigate the matter.
The principal matter in this in
vestigation is the character of the
streets on which the carriers will
have to travel over, and as this is
known to be satisfactory, there will
be a carrier service in St. Johns
