suaar as a suraieaI Antiseptie.


Sugar as Surgical Antiseptic.
It has long been known that sugar
was a disinfecting and preservative
agent. The fact is even said to have
been mentioned by Galen. But it is
rather novel to learn from La Revue
that an eminent German surgeon, DIR
George Magnus of Munich, who is IA
nous as a traumatologist, recommends
it strongly as a dressing for wounds.
All saccharine substances are good, but
pure cane sugar or beet sugar is best.
Its disinfecting and sterilizing quail
ties are excellent. 1t is not Injurious
to the blood, as has been wrongly be-
lieved, and is better preventive of
putrefaction and contamination by
microbes than ordinary medical anti
septicS

CYRUS
From the Citizen.

Mrs. Theodore Estenson and little
son accompanied by Ruby Estenson,
came down from Joplin. Mont, the
latter part of last week to visit with
parents and other relatives.
Hogs having died of cholera should
either be buried deeply or burned.
Unless the strictest precautions are
saken it is impossible to restrain
mis- destructive disease.
UP to date local nimroads have
found hunting rather slow and no
very large ''baggs'' have been re-
ported Of either chickens or ducks.
However. ducks will no doubt be more
plentiful when the northern flights
begin.

Bile had a narrow escape Monday
evening from complete destruction by
are. They were filling in gasoline at
Estby's store when they over-Aowed
die tank and the gasoline ran down
into the tail light, which was left
burning. Immediately the gasoline
ignited and the fame spread over the
rear of the car and caught in the top
which was folded down. When they
found the fire was beyond their con-
trol with the means at hand, they
showed the car down to the fire station
where the fire lads had already gotten
one of the chemical engines in readi-
ners and few squirts from the hose
sxtmguished the blaze. but the top
of the automobile had burned and
part of the cushion. The paint from
the rear was also burnt off. Aside
from this, the car was left intact.

LIQUID Aluminium.

According to the German press, ex-
periments made to bring aluminium
to liquid condition so that it may be
spread when cold over any dry sur
face have been successful. The com
position is applied like paint with a
brush and looks when spread like a
dull silver coating. 1t is said to be an
excellent preventive of rust, to be re-
sistant to heat, elastic, durable and re-
sistant to atmospheric influences and

PURIFYING WATER.

Chemical Discovered That Will Hide
the Taste Of Chlorine.
Just when the chemists were con-
graduating themselves that they had
largely solved the problem of pure
drinking water by their idea Of doctor
ing water with chlorinated lime to kill
germs, protests have been increasing
in many cities that the water tasted of
the chlorine, and they have had to go
TO work again on the problem. Now
they have discovered a way of putting
more chemicals into the water to kill
the taste of the chlorine after the
chlorine has killed the germs.
Millions of Americans drink water
that has been chlorinated, more than
400 cities using this method Of i'm
proving the river or lake water they
use. Usually the amount of chemical
spread through the water is so small
that no one can taste it, but the pro-
portion varies with local conditions,
and there are times when much larger
amounts are used. If more than seven
pounds of the chemical is used in q
million gallons Of water, the most SEN
sitive palates begin to discover the
taste, and complaints are telephoned
to the water department. with every
additional pound of the chemical come
a score more of telephone protests.
One way to get rid of the taste is to
store the water before sending it into
the mains, but this is not usually prac-
ticable, and chemists have been seek
ing another remedy. Now chemist
of the sanitary district of Chicago re-
ports that drug called thiosulphate
will hide the taste of the chlorine aft
er the chlorine has had a few minutes
time to kill the germs. His prescription
calls for one part Of thiosulphate to
two parts Of chlorinated lime. To
prove that the additional chemical is
harmless he points out that thiosul-
plate is used in medicine, and that in
order to get a dose the size a doctor
would order for patient person
would have to drink about $40 gallons
Of the treated water.

Earthquakes and Rainfall

1t has been conjectured that exces-
siVe atmospheric precipitation might
favor the occurrence of earthquakes
by increasing the supply of subter-
ranean water, leading to a washing
away and collapse of portions of the
earth's crust. Count de Montessus de
Ballore has published In the Complies
Rendus the results of a painstaking
comparison between 4,136 earthquakes
and the rainfall conditions preceding
them. He concludes that there is no
relation Of cause and effect between
these phenomena.

Violet Liaht DESTROYS earna.

The mercury yapor lamp is claimed
by Herr Otto Haase to be as effective
as a sterilizer of underclothing as in
treating water. The ultra violet rays
produce ozone, and this destroys all
disease germs without injuriously af-
fecting the textile materials in any
way.
In the experiments made not less
than thirteen Of the most virulent dis
ease bacilli were present, all of them
being totally destroyed by exposure to
the light rays for periods ranging from
five to sixty seconds.

Weldinu Conner

A process of welding copper with the
oxyacetylene fame has been developed
by German inventor named Carl
Gambler He has found it necessary
to use larger torches than for iron
welding, but in general the process is
similar, except that he employs liquid
welding paste and special copper
welding wire. The paste prevents
the formation Of oxide. The process
has been used for welding copper
plates up to an inch in thickness. The
weld will withstand acid, and its
strength is equal to that of continu-
Gus solid copper sheet The process
is being used in the principal copper
works in Germany with great success.

SERIOUS FIRE At WARROAD
One Life Lost and Much Property De-
stroyed.

Warroad has been visited by an
other disastrous fire, destroying the
entire business section located on
Main street. The fire broke out in
the kitchen of the Staten board
ing house, about the center of Main
street, and, due to a strong north
easterly wind, this section was soon
mass of flames, spreading both
east and west. Owing to the build
ings being few feet apart and of
frame structure it was impossible to
control the flames.
The Warroad fire department was
on the scene in few minutes after
the alarm was turned in. Good work
confined the fire to Main street only.
The only fatality was that of Harry
Gibson, a trapper He was sleeping
on the second floor of the Staten
boarding house.

This city has long hoped for the day
to arrive when Fargo would see 500
trains running through here, but there
is little satisfaction in the news, for
they are merely using the N. p. tracks
because of a wreck near Enderlin. The
trains are transferred to the South

The N. p. is also having considerable
trouble because of high water at Man

N. p. train No. will not run
through Fargo at all today. 1t left st.
Paul over the Milwaukee railroad and
will make the run to Carey Mont,
over that line.
N. P. train No. is reported late to-
day. 1t will run over the N. P. as far
as Bismarck and it will probably be
transferred there to the 500 line, run
to Minot over the 500 and be trans
ferred there to the Great Northern,
making the run west over the G. n.
Other coast trains have been sent
UP over the Leeds branch of the n. P.

Washington, April THE removal
of all tariff from many articles of food
and. clothing, broad reductions in the
rates of duty on all the necessities of
! life, the increase of the tariff on many
luxurfessS the new income tax which
will touch the pocket of every Ameri-
can citizen whose net income exceeds
$4,000. are the striking features OF the
new democratic tariff revision bill pre-
sented to the house.
Sugar would be free in 1916, the bill
proposing an immediate 25% reduction,
and the removal OF the remaining duty
in 1915 Raw wool will be made free
Immediately, with the corresponding
reduction in the tariff on all wooden
goods. Among the articles put on the
free list are meats, -four, shoes, wine,
corn. agricultural implements, leather,
steel rails and fence wire. Canning ma
terial. iron ore, wire nails, barb wire,
cash registers, typesetting machines,
sewing machines, rtypewriters, boards,
planks and other lumber, and many
articles Of manufactured lumber: lard,
dairy products, breadstuffs, potatoes,
raw wool and woolen rags and waste:
wood pulp and print paper valued at
not less than 2k cents per pound;
soft coal, coke.
In6 he" rates are estimated TO re-
duce the customs revenue approx
nIately $S,000,000 yearly. This is ex-
pected to be made up by the income
tax. The protection to the farmer will
be cut throughout by over 500 in an
effort to reduce the cost Of food.
Incomes in excess Of $4,000 pay 10
tax up to $4,000, 2G6 from $4,000 to

alton incomes above $4,000 will be re-
tanned as a part Of the income tax.
