Ganqrene and Oxygen.

A remarkable instance OF the ad.
vantage which medical men may de.
rive from chemistry has been pub
lished In the reports OF the Hospital
Hotel Dieu. at Paris. A young stu.
dent wrote thesis in which he
showed that gangrene and deficiency
OF oxygen were to be regarded as
cause and effect. DR.. Laugier, sur
geOn-in chief OF the hospital. having q
case of spontaneous gangrene under
his care. proceeded TO test the theory.
The patient. man seventy-five years
of age, had the disease in one foot
one toe was mortified, and the whole
member was in danger The diseased
part was enclosed in an apparatus
contrived to disengage oxygen con.
dnuously, and In a short time the
gangrene was arrested and the foot
recovered its healthy condition. A
singular experiment tried upon an
other patient. equally aged. and equal.
ly successful, from which the infer.
ence follows that treatment with oxy-
gen is an effectual remedy for a dis.
ease which too often infests hospitals.

A number of years ago blackbirds
we're exceedingly abundant through
eastern Nebraska. They were so plen-
tiful that the farmers believed they
were damaging crops. so they began
poisoning the birds. A single grain OF
corn soaked in strychnine WAS enough
to kill a blackbird. In the years that
followed. great numbers of these and
other birds were destroyed during the
spring and fall. At the same time
thousands OF quail, prairie chickens
and other game birds were killed in
every county to supply the market
AS the birds began to disappear,
swarms OF locusts took their place.
These insects Matched out in countless
numbers and began devastating crops

Schleyer's system of universal

effect this artificial speech was rath-

practically incapable of any special
vocabulary. So changed by its proc

words taken from various tongues
that they were scarcely recognizable
and had to be learned by memory.

today than the democrats ever
were and there'is no doubt in the
mind of any who have been
watching the political game for
many years, that a democrat is
going to be elected president
next November.
Senator Dixon of Montana,
who is the chief of the Roosevelt
forces, and Representative Nc
Kinley of Illinois, who is the
representative of the Taft forces,
are at each others throats every
day and calling each other liars,
or words to that effect. The
papers are filled with their letters
to one another and all these let
ters contain is elimination and
re-crimination as far as the cam
paign is concerned in the republi-
can ranks.
The Roosevelt people are howl
ing for preferential primaries in
all the states regardless Of the
fact that many states have no
primary laws, and that congress
has nothing to do with it, and
each state is a law unto itself
concerning primaries or conven-
tions. The Roosevelt people for
get that in the campaign for the
nomination in 1908, when Roose-
velt was attempting to nominate
Taft, that he played the same
game that Taft is now playing
and which his followers are howl
ing about. If they had held pri-
maries, then the chances are
that some other republican would
have been nominated at Chicago
instead of Mr.. Taft, but Roose-
velt used every bit of his presi-
Dental patronage to compel the
nomination of Taft and the Taft
people now say that what is sauce
for the goose is sauce for the
gander.
The chances are that Senator
LaFollette is going to get out on
the firing line and rip Roosevelt
up the back for stealing his thun-
der and coming out and proclaim
ing himself as the only original
progressive republican in the
United States. 1t looks very
much as though the LaFollette
republicans and following will
bolt the nomination of Taft and
present a third party ticket with
LaFollette at the head of it. If
such is the case, LaFollette will
get two-thirds Of the progressive

republican vote, and this will
elect a democrat. So, whether
Roderigo kill Cassie or Cassie kill
Roderigo, it all makes for our
good"
