Filtered Air akes
 Place of Skin Graft
TWO HUNDRED INCHES OF BURN- ED FLESH TREATED BY NEW
 METHOD.

HAZLETON, Pa, Feb. S. With 200 square inches of flesh burned from his body by boiling tar, and his life despaired of, Harry F. Stabler, 23 years old, after undergoing new treatment at a hospital here, is now able to walk abou. the hospital court yard.
 Skin grating was deemed to be impractical, and physicians at the hospital decided to try the effect of chemically treated air On the burned surface of the patient. As a result 75 square inches of sur face have healed. The flesh on his neck, breast and abdomen was baked to a depth of sixteenth of an inch.
 An experiment was conducted with Stabler's hand and arm and theresult encouraged the nhvsi- clans to extend the method. A special framework of pliable wood was designed to fit securely about the body of the patient. from the mouth to the waist The burned surface from the chin was exposed to the air that filtered through the chemically treated gauge stretched on the frame.

R. R. KENwoOD, OF DEKALB,
ILLINOIS. COMMITS SUICIDE
BODY FOUND MONDAY
DESPoNDENCY DUE TO ILL HEALTH
AND LOVE AFFAIRS SUPPOSED TO
HAVE BEEN CAUSE

Monday morning early Chief of Po-
lice McCracken was notified by Mrs.
Baumus that dead man was lying at
the foot Of Battle Mountain on the
government reserve and upon investi.
cation it was found to have been the
body of q suicide. Mrs. Baumus dis
covered the body as she was driving
her cattle to pasture. Acting Coroner
r. ID. Jennings, Sheriff E. T. CLARK and
Fernand Marcoux we're called to the
scene and made thorough examina-
tion Of the body and the surroundings.
The dead man was lying on his right
side with a bullet hole In his right
temple passing thru the brain and
coming out near his left ear. In his
right hand he held q thirty-eight cali.
bre revolver containing three loaded
cartridges, one empty one and one
chamber of the magazine was also
empty. The powder burns about the
face left no doubt but that It was q
case of suicide. From all appearances
and from the condition of the body it
was evident that the man had been
dead at least twenty-four hours.
The remains were placed in the am.
bulance and brought to the Marcoux
undertaking parlors. An examination
Of his pockets disclosed nothing that
would lead to his identity. He was a
man about thirty years old. quite we'll
dressed In gray suit and was q little
over the average height. After view
ing the body several expressed them
selves of the opinion that he was q
tourist that had but recently arrived
and that he had been seen about the
city for only few days. A sign
painter, O. H. Ross, identified the body
as that of q fellow giving the name of
Richard R. Kenwood and his place Of
residence as DeKslb, Illinois. That he
had become acquainted vita him last
Friday. At that time he had been
drinking heavily and had been very
respondent over his physical condition
and also over some love affair and had
made the remark that he would per-
haps be better dead. The last time he
was seen was about seven O'Clock Sat.
urday evening and it was evidently
only short time after that he com.
mitted the rash deed.
An inquest was held Monday after.

to these shoots BY biting insects, ana

ing them to turn black and dry up.
The orchards should be gone over at
least eve.y two weeks and Ill waste

them of close to the trunk. This
avoids danger of spreading the disease
with knife. It is not necessary to
cut out the infected fruit spurs, but in

In dismater, 1t should be removed.
Destroy the Hyslop, Transcendent and

These crab trees contain 80 to 95 DER

Black Hills region. II We are to hold

must be dug out by the root and burn

other varieties, yet in some parts OF

THE FRUIT BLIGHT

Springs. Monday and Tuesday, and
while here visited the orchards
Of Fred Noerenberg at Cascade and
John Robertson near Erskine. Re.
garding the fruit blight Mr.. Coo pre-.
pared en- article for one of the North.
ern Hills papers and finding practically
the same condition to exist here he
submitted this article which ia as
follows:
ITO the Editor: Apple blight, twig
blight, blossom blight or fire blight.
which ever one we call 1t, is caused By
q bacterial organism bacillus amy
lovorous). This bacterial disease
and bacteria are no more than minute
plants which are 90 small that It would
take 25,O00 Of them laid end to end to
make an inch-lives over winter In the
bankers on the large limbs. Just be.
fore the blossoms open, or about tho
time the first ones are opening, little
drops Of sweet grayish. brown viscid
substance loaded with thousands Of
these bacteria, ooze out along the edge
Of the old csnkers. Since this sub.
stance is sweet, the bees and insects
visit 1t and becomes smeared with It.
Later on these same insects visit the
apple blossoms and accidently leave q
few OF the organisms In the flowers.
Here they multiply rapidly and grad
uslly work their way through the stems
Of the flower into the twigs, thus caus.
ing the blight.
Cut Out tho Cankers.
II the apple growers of the Black
Hills will do all they can to remove
the cankers which appear upon the
larger limbs in the form of slightly
sunken, irregular, yet definite areas,
they will be taking the first important
step toward checking this disease
The center Of the osnker appears
brown and dead, while the bark along
the margin is generally cracked and
slightly separated from the rest Of the
limb. In removing q canker, the limb
should be cut of at least six or eight
inches below any external signs of It,
because the disease works in advance
OF the external LESSONS. Az soon a. q
limb is removed, the stub remaining on
the tree should be washed with GOOD
disinfectant, such as 5 per cent solu.
tion Of csrbolic acid, or formsldehyde.
When dry it should be painted. This
prevents further infection, provided
the limb has been removed bslow the
diseased tissue.
We may speak Of apple blight being
a contagious disease, since IL pruning
instruments comes In contact with
diseased tissue it will spread tho dis
ease to every healthy brauch or limb
with which It later comes in contact.
Many of the large cankers are due 20
infection brought about By pruning
instruments. This method Of spread.
ing the disease can be avoided IL the
cut surface Of the limb remaining on
the tree Is disinfected and painted. In
cutting of small limbs, each time :
limb is removed the knife should be
dipped In Q distnfectant such a n
named above.

MACHINIST SUFFERS
QUEER ACCIDENT
Selma Sh0pmen Goes to Philadelphia
to Have Metal Removed
From Eyeball

Selma. January 22.--tSpecial)-Co
Acker a young machinist employed at
the Southern railway shops here, left
Tuesday afternoon for Philadelphia
making a race against infection to save
the sight of his left eye. The accident
from which the young man suffered
and which endangered the sight of one
of his eyes was of most peculiar
nature.
Young Acker was chipping some cast
ings at the shops of the Southern when
a small piece from the hammer flew
off striking him in the left eye and
lodging behind the eye ball. The oper-
alton which will be necessary to re-
store the sight to the eye will be one
of the most delicate in the history OF
surgery.
Mr.. Acker was accompanied to Phil
adelphia by his father and it will be
week or more before it will be known
TO what extent the eye has been in
jured.
