CRAFTS pIGsxlN ON MEN
Says Physician Before iMedicai Association.

Kansas City, Mo.-A number of be- foes are apt to be thrown out of JoDs' according to Dr. c. s. Venable of San Antonio, Tex. who spoke on "The Use of Pigskin in Grating" before the Medical Association of the Southwest recently in session here.
 Doctor Venable, an authority on skin grating, said the skin of the young pig is the best material avail able for such operations. He said:
 Tt is even better than human skin. Records show that only about fifty per cent. of the skin grafted from person other than the patient takes. The percentages of takes from other ami mals, including the rabbit, frog. cat, dog, chicken and guinea pig, all of which have been used, is only about thirty-two per cent. Their organisms are too frail to stand the strain. In experiments covering three years l have shown that seventy-five to one hundred per cent of the pigskin grafted to human beings takes.
 Had surgeons known of the value of pigskin, William Rugh, the Gary newsboy who gave his life to save that of girl he had never seen, would be alive today Reba Hainds, who owes debt of gratitude to one hundred Kansas Citians, might owe her debt to several young porkers.
 Cell conditions, especially with ref erence to their hardihood and rapidtty of growth, are the primary factors in skin grating. My experiments show that when a pig is injured, even though it lives in the filthiest of con ditions, it's wounds heal more rapidly than those of any other living thing.
 Tn pig of from two to six months old the cells show the greatest resist ance power l etherize the animal, carefully clean the skin, shave 1t on below the hair foicles and graft. By shaving it in this way the danger Of bristles on the new body is obviated. The new skin is about the same thick ness and texture as human skin, and serves as an excellent substitute"

FINANCING A DUTCH CITY
Amsterdam Owns Most of Her Public Utilities, Yet Her Municipal
 Debt Is Low.

London.-The city of Amsterdam owns the gas, water, and electricity works, the street railroads, the tele- phone system, many of the docks and a large amount of ground in the cen. tral business section, which is leased for building purposes. Considering all this valuable property, the municipal debt, which stood at $50,625,146 on January 1, 1913, is not high for a city of 591, 900 population. The debt was reduced last year by $1,200,000. The annual interest ranges from 21a to 4 per cent
 The receipts and expenditures of the city for 1914 are officially esti- mated a $15,649,S11. an increase of

Value of a Clean City.

When the city has been made clean. 1t should be kept so. Too few realize the value of keeping lawns and yards free from rubbish. It is worth while Tor more than one reason--for ia. stance. for the sake of health, for the sake of pleasanter conditions for the citizens themselves. and for the sake Of the impression 1t makes on stran. gers It Is worth much from the standpoint of local pride to have the reputation of being clean city. It is worth dollars and cents also. for the better town looks. the more sale able property in it is. It is notice able fact that all through the country not only the cities. but the villages have come to realize that work along this line is worth doing.

nearly $S00,000 over the estimate for 1913. Receipts and expenditures are always estimated at the same amount.
 More than a third of the receipts come from taxes; more than fifth from the municipal undertakings (gas, electricity, street cars, water etc), and from rent of ground owned by the city and let on long leases to owners of buildings thereon, these two sources contributing more than half the receips.
 The largest expense item, $3,5O0, 900. is for interest and payments on prin- cipal of debt; the next largest Is $2,- S00,0O0 for educational purposes: poor relief and the support of charit- able institutions take $1,200, 900, while police, street lighting, and fire depart ment together take about the same.

GARDEN SUBURBS IN POLAND
Movement Has Taken Root and Defi- nite Resuits Are Expected in the
 Near Future.

Doctor Dobrzynski. the president of, the Warsaw Garden Cities association. has announced that the Russian au- thorities have given his society their official sanction and definitely recog- nized its existence. Three years ago the Warsaw Hygienic society estab- lished department for the building of garden suburbs, and one of the first things they undertook to do was to spread the garden city idea. Popular lectures and speeches were arranged, various cities of the Polish province were visited, pamphlets and reports were issued and numerous articles were secured in the press. Doctor Dob rzynski was sent both to England and Germany to investigate the garden cities and town planning movement, says Edward Ewing Post.
 AS result of Doctor Dobrzynski's trip garden cities exhibit was ar ranged in Warsaw and visited by some 25,000 people. Soon after a company was formed corresponding to pub lie utilities society, on the lines of the first garden city at Letchworth, where the dividend Is limited to five per cent. A tract of 21O acres along the Vistula was secured. plans were prepared and new garden suburb is now coming toward realization. A special car line is being constructed to connect the garden city with Warsaw and as soon as this is completed the building of the suburb will be actively carried on.

 TENEMENT HOUSES A 8l0T
Idea In All Large Cities 10 to Furn'sn Homes In Suburbs tor the "o'N
 Ing Population.

There is . very positive movemeh. in the great cities of both America ana Europe to discourage the increase CT apartment and tenement houses 10 re- duce the tendency toward congestion of population by spreading 1t over the suburban areas, and to get people. par ticularly the working people ana tnose of only modest means who now live III tenements. out into the open ana closer to nature. The success or tnis movement depends primarily upon two conditions-the economical deveiop, ment of property to insure reasonaDie values for home sites, and direct anu cheap transportation to enable the people to be carried quickly between their homes and their places or eM ployment or business. In Phliadeipnla' says the Record the conditions are reversed to the extent that we neeo fair land values and better transpor- tation facilities to perpetuate the pres ent system to one family houses anu prevent the growth of the tenement system of living; in both instances however, the object aimed at can oniv be accomplished by more complete public control of the development or property and more intelligent exer- else of the street-planning power The abandonment of the apartment and tenement house in favor of the one-family house built with a larger regard for light. air and hygienic con ditions means larger building lots ano more open spaces in our cities, ana this, in turn, will necessitate the exer- else of greater economy in street-pian- ming, and especially in the distriDu- ton of paved areas upon manor ana residential streets.

There are, it is said, hun dreds of rooms into which his august feet have never entered, and there are countless treasures of art which he would not recognize as his own.
 Nor can we wonder. that, this should be so when we consider that in and around St. Petersburg alone there are dozen imperial houses, one of which is large enough to give luxurious lodg- ing to many thousands of guests; and that the Kremlin at Moscow is a small "city of palaces" to find parallel to which we should have to imagine s.sNi1dsor castle, Buckingham palace and the Tower of London inclosed with the same wall.

CHANGING DRINKING WATER

pr. w. E. Evans says that in- furious effects following changes in drinking water are not due to difference in the chemical com position of the water, as was formerly supposed, but to the fact that We become adapted to antidoting certain germs that abound in water, as in food, and that the system cannot readily antidote a different class of germs found in different water. 1t is for the sare reason, no doubt, that germs residing In our own bodies may cause Us no harm, while We may be unable to withstand the attacks of those conveyed from others. And the same applies to food, and hence the injurious effect of an extravagantIy mixed and con stantiy varying diet, and hence, also, the benefit derived from the monodiet, especially in sick nees.
