ABDOMINAL WOUNDS
PROVING LESS FATAL
Gangrene Has Almost En-
tirely Disappeared
THE MODERN BULLET
Rarely Lacerates Wound Unless at
Extremely Close Range-Turks
Using Bullet Which is Less
Humane

Berlin, February 1.-Nothing less than
bullet through the heart, the head or
an important artery is sure to bring death
in the wars OF today. Abdominal wounds,
involving even manifold penetrations Of
the intestines. show a surprising per-
eentage of recovery, and little is to be
feared from thoracic wounds that do not
molest big arteries of the heart. What
used to be known as gangrene has viru-
ally disappeared and only in rare In
stances does pus form at all. When IT
does it is primarily due to neglect or
to unskillful handling by surgeons
These conclusions are set forth in an
article by Professor Frank Colmers OF
Coburg, who took charge of the hospitals
in Sofia at the request of King Ferdinand
upon the breaking out of the war in the
Balkans Two things have brought about
the Improvement over the days when any
wound of the limbs meant ainputation
and penetration of the abdomen was
nearly always fatal. One is, of course,
the great advance of aseptic surgery.
The other is the FORM. constitution and
velocity of the modern projectile. Except
at extremely close range-within 100
yards, where the bullet of the armies OF
today tears a hole bigger than mans
hand at the point of eXit--the projectile
ordinarily bores a neat hole through its
victim. Furthermore it is rendered asep
tic by the heat generated by its high
velocity, and 1t carries no particles of
clothing into the canal of the wound.
The wound Is therefore absolutely germ
free, and IL properly bandaged with sterl-
ized bandages, il develops no pus. DIR.

Foods That Bind
Little Children
Start Them Off Right With a

Watch Their Diet

Mothers are often unconsciously very

fact is that all foods do not agree aiike
with different persons. Hence. avoid

If the child shows tendency to con-
stipation II should Immediately be given
q mild laxative to help the bowels. BY
this is not meant a physic or purgatlve,
for these should never be given to child
rem, nor anything like salts, pills, etc
What the child requires is simply small
dose of the gentlest of medicines, such
as DR.. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin, which
IN the opinion of thousands of watchful
mothers is the ideal remedy for any
child showing a tendency to constipa-
tion. So many things can happen TO
a constipated child that care is necessary
Colds. piles, headaches, sleepessness,
and many other annoyances that child

traced to constipation.

THREE CLASSES IN
SEACOAST GUNS
According to Size, Known
as Primary, intermediate
and Secondary
rrom the New York Sum.

From the New York Sun.
Seaeoast guns are divided into three
classes, according to their size and pur-
pose, known as guns of the primary, in
termediate and secondary armament
or more inch calibre and II inch NOR
tars. The typical rifle of this class is
that of IL inch calibre, although it is
understood that IA inch guns are to be
used at Panama and some of our for
eign stations.
In the intermediate class are guns
of 6, and 4.72 inch calibre. They are
quick firing guns. says a writer in
Health, and the 6 inch is the typical
gun of this class. The secondary class
includes all guns of smaller caibre,
rapid fire guns Of which the 8 inch
calibre is the type.
The guns of the primary armament
are intended to attack the most heav-
lily armed battleships, the rifles at
tempting to penetrate the side armor
and turrets and the mortars to pierce
the decks by dropping projeetiles Upon
them from high in the air. The II
inch rifle is fairly effective as far
as it can be accurately aimed, be-
tween six and seven miles.
The guns of the secondary arna-
ment are to be used against the upper
works of battleships or lightly ar
m ored vessels, making up in numb er
of shots fired per minute what effect
iveness they lack III comparison with
the heavy hitting force of the larger
guns
The secondary armament is used
against light craft such as torpedo
boats and to protect submarine mine
fields against destruction by small
boats. Their range Is comparatively
short, but they pour out a perfect
stream OF shots, several being usually
mounted together
All the modern big guns of the pri-
mary armament are mounted upon dis
appearing carriages. Reduced to simp-
lest terms. there IL massive frame
like the walking beam of an old fash
ioned steamboat. The gun rests upon
its axles or trunnions at one end and
a ponderous weight is attached to the
other When this weight is released

pet.

STRUGGLE
With ILLNESS
Mrs. Stewart Tells How She
Suffered from 16to45 years
old-How Finally Cured.

Euphemia, Ohio" Because of total
ignorance of how to care for myself
when verging into womanhood, and from
taking cold when going to school, l suf-
fered from displacement, and each
month had severe pains and nausea

.EKO| MEN MUST
WOO THREE YEARS
And in the Meantime Have
to Work for "Her"
Parents

From the New York American.
1t takes about three years to WOO a
maid among the Eloi people in North
ern Nigeria. This is only in keeping
with many other hardships to which the
men of this race are subjected
1t seems that man of the Ekoi
doesn't confer very great favor upon
the woman he selects to be his wife. Ac-.
cordng to the native custom, he must
serve her people eor some considerable
time-usually two or three years-be-
fore he can claim her. His work most
ly consists in helping to clear the bush
for the next seasons farms. but other
services may be required of him.
During this time he is expected to
make presents to the relatives of his
according to his means. A very usual
list of gifts to father and mother or
guardian consists OF demijohn of
palm OIL a head OF plantains, piece
of dried meat, two bottles of rum and
two or more beads of tobacco
The woman who is being wooed is
often very exacting in the gifts de-
manded from her future husband. Here
is the usual dowry required Five
silk handkerchiefs, two pieces of cloth,
one bead neekless, a tin plate, a spoon,
a looking glass, a razor, a comb, a
pair of scissors, a piece of black cloth.
a piece of white cloth, five balls or
string, an earthenware plate and a
knife.
IL the suitor does not make the gifts
expected of him, the parents refuse to
provide the daughter with a good fat
ting house" a place where she can re-
main in idleness and fatter up for the
marriage. Girls who do not have a good
fatting house are looked down upon by
their companions. and a man who mar
res a skinny maid is worse than dis
graced.
After all these exactions the husband
is not at all sure that his wife Will
keep her side of the bargain. She may
divorce him for little or no reason One
man. who had worked for his wife's
people for four years. and stinted him.
self to make them the presents de-
manded. was divorced by his wife three
weeks later because he was indiscreet
enough to eat up all the pork in the
house. 1t was also claimed that he had
eaten up some iish She had prepared.
but this he denied.
II a woman wishes to free herself
without the consent of her husband she
rakes out the fire and pours water on
the embers till they die out. She then
cuts her hair and covers herself with
white paint. These simple ceremonies
completed she is free to marry whom
she pleases. If both parties agree to
the divorce. the proceeding is even
simpler. The severing of the marriage
bonds is indicated by the wife covering
her hands with white chalk
Divorced wives Inay marry again, but
widows must not listen to the proposal
of any man until the mourning for the
departed is over.
Among these people--as IL the cup or
downtrodden man was not near enough
to overilowing-a husband must sup
port his mother-in-law If she becomes
a widow. n case OF divorce the wife
has the first claim on the children, be-
cause she has riskcd her life for them.
The chief wife is regarded as the
head of the household 1t is she who
selects the home, and It is the duty OF
the husband to follow wherever his
chief wife may lead.

almost noiseless footsteps of the forward
watch unless one might include the cry
Of bird or the sudden leap of frighted
fish.
And at the hour of midnight Hatteras
was reached, and there an anchor was
sunk and the tired boat rested
A change of crew occurred. Freight
was sent ashore, and a new cargo load
cd. There was deal of noise produced,
with the moving of barrels and boxes and
trunks and people. and the sharp direc-
tion of supervisors. Too much noise, per-
haps, for untried nerves. And the girls
became aroused.
"A storm at sea-" calculated the one,
with the other spranE to the floor.
They heard the thunder, and thought
that they could see the forked tongues of
lightning. They knew the waves were
lashing high They could see the rigging
torn and shredded. They could see busy
men rushing to and fro on the decks,
and easily could hear their shouts. They
knew the ship was lurching. They real
iaed with chilling hearts that land was
far away. They thought of home and
brothers and sisters. They pictured their
parents sound asleep unaware of the dan
ger which ltrked about to strike their
children.
1t was terrible night. But the young
sirls, though fearfuly frightened, kept
their wits about them.
I'VE must be prepared" they said, and
then remembered the life preservers. The
lulky cloth protected corks were strapped
about them. And next they turned their
attention. to the God who rules the sea,
Who is aware of the rise and fall of every
little wave Who with a motion OF the
hand can still the mighty roar of the
fearful deep.
They fell upon their knees and prayed.
Outside the storm continued, for there
was the roar as of thunder, and the
snouts of frightened men stfll reached
them.
Still on their knees they prayed-prayed
earnestly, these little girls with no one
near to aid them.
And then the ship lurched and rocked
about. The sound of thunder grew indis-
tinct, rumbing far behind them. The gen
eral clamor of men subsided, and all that
reached them was word or two, at
longer periods spoken, and in calmer tone.
They could hear the water. but not the
angry splash of the water. And they
knew the storm was gone, and that their
prayers were answered.
The little ladies were early adeck the
following morning.
