ENTERED INTO REST
William Coad.

William Coad was born in this city
July 3, 1913. and passed away on Feb
ruary 81, 1914, being therefore, 70
years, months and Is days of age.
When about II years old his parents,
the late Mr.. and Mrs Nicholas Coad,
moved to a farm in Diamond Grove,
where William grew to manhood. While
upon the farm, where he was largely
employed in Telling the dense timber,
then in that district, he heard the call
of his country for volunteers and en-
listed in the Union army. His term of
service in Co. F. 41st Regiment Wis.
Infantry was brief, but the conditions
attending his life in camp at Memphis,
Tenn, so undermined his constitution
that ever afterward he was an invalid,
never experiencing again a day of per-
feet health.
Mr. Coad was united in marriage to
Miss Elizabeth A. Cornish, March q,
1881. He united with the church in
1890, transferring his membership from
the P. M. to the Congregational at the
time of the change. A few months
ago he expressed desire to be placed
on the roll of the Brotherhood, and al
though his physical condition would
prevent his attendance at the meetings,
it was his wish that his name might be
heard at every roll call.
Besides his widow, he leaves one
brother, Edward, who at the present
time is in California.
The funeral occurred on Tuesday af-
ternoon. Rev. Bond conducted the SER
vices at the house and the Geo. H.
Legate Post, G. A. R., of which ne had
served as chaplain, paid him the usual
honors at the graveside.

Mr.. Francis was born in Chacewater,
Cornwall, England, Oct. 3, 1881, and
came to Mineral Point at the age of 21
years, where he has ever since resided.
His marriage occurred one year after
ward, to his betrothed who had recent
ly arrived from England,
Mrs. Francis passed away several
years ago. For some time he has re-
sided with his only child, Mrs. Mary j.
Kislingbury, who lovingly cared for
him until his translation.
For many years he was engaged in
the mining interests of this locality,
and met with a measure of success.
He was a member of the church recent
ly changed to the Congregational ever
since he came to Mineral Point and was
deeply interested in all things related TO
the kingdom of God. He was more.
over the Oldest member of the Sunday
School, continuing his attendance 10 a

In the passing Of Mr. Francis Miner
al Point loses fine type of Christian
citizen, the Church one of its most val

Peroxide of hydrogen in dirty wounds
IS a false prophet. Two many are put
ting unwarranted faith in the autiseptic
qualities Of this solution In many
instances its employment is positively
dangerous. This is true in deep
wounds such as are caused by stepping
on a nail or in Fourth of July injuries
for example.
Peroxide of hydrogen appeals to
popular fancy because it is such an
active, stir about sort of remedy, 1t
forms and bubbles until it seems as
though it must drive all infection out
of a wound by its busy body methods
Like some other busy bodies, it has NO
brains. 1t drives infection in, as well
as out. In wide open cuts, it is likely
to do no harm. On the other hand ii
does little good. Clean cuts heal quite
as promptly without chemical assist
ance
Probably the best, safest cleanest
and most convenient household anti
optic is alcohol (ahSolute, not wood or
denatured). In addition TO being
most efficient germ killer, it quickly
evaporates after doing its work and
leaves the tissues in ideal condition.
Healing salves and ointments" don t
heal They simply keep germs from
delaying the natural repair. Alcohol
will do this quite AS we'll and doesn't
smear the cut TO catch other dirt or
make mess for the surgeon to wash
away. Carbolic acid solutions are like
wise attended by danger and are little
used now days, even by surgeons
Sealing wound which may contain
germs with collodiau, plasters, or any
preparation which makes an air and
water tight coating is dangerous.
The hands of whoever treats wound
should be clean in order that no addi-
tional dirt or germs may be introduced.
Thorough washing of the hands and
rinsing in alcohol will suffice in ordin-
airy circumstances. To stanch bleed
ing don't use cobwebs, tobacco, etc.
Clean lint and absorbent rawlings will
do as we'll and will add no new
sources of danger. For dressings only
clean wrappings should be used. If
cloths are not certainly clean, satur
them in alcohol and wiring out
In serious injuries it is expected that
a competent surgeon will be employed.

Soldiers Against Soldiers.

From the New York Tribune.
The war in Europe has now been in
progress two months Its Develop
ment has furnished some surprises
and exploded some misconceptions. But
the most noteworthy thing about
it so far Is that it has con-
formed in the main to rational
expectations. 1t has been marked
by no such bewildering successes and
tragic collapses as gripped the imagi-
nation in the Austro- o-Hungarian-P Prus-
sian war of 1855 and the Franco-Ger-
man war of 1870. In this war there
have been no easy death strokes like
Sadowa and no theatrical "kriegspiel'
demonstrations like Sedan and Metz.
In fact, it has taken the world less
than two months to free itself from
the bondage of the tradition of Ger
man success. Moltke's system may
still be in use, but the conditions
which confront the German general
staff today have not been of the VIC
tory-made-to-order sort with which
Moltke was favored in 1866 and 1870.
The German armies have shown
themselves capable of great exertions
and their organization has been ad-
mirable. But they have not been able
to ride roughshod over all opposition.
They have had to take their chances
in a struggle with opponents Of equal
mettle. The legend of their .inyinci-
bility has been shattered.

The Fish Culturists.

Only few years ago the fishermen OF
this country were roughly divided into
two classes. the professionals. with
their nets and picturesque costumes
and odd ways of life, and the amateurs
with their fancy equipment and alleged
gift Of imagination in the recital of ex-
ploits. But a new type Of fisherman
has come into being, and he wears nc
particular costume and handles nc
fancy outfit. and when he tells ABOUT
his work it is in such staggeringly
large figures that there is no room
whatever to doubt his word. This is
the fish culturist, the man who makes
| both professional and amateur. fishing
possible and profitable; the man who
breeds fry by the hundred millions, and
stocks lakes and streams and even the
waters of the seas with the progeny OF
the finny creatures that form such a
valuable item of mans food. Just now
a congress of these conservators OF
nature is meeting here, and their de-
lliberations. while perhaps not rivalins
the European war in popular interest
are nevertheless of vital Importance
for they deal with a subject that is
directly associated with the daily life
fof the people. Their work makes fol-
the solving of the food problem and
particularly has an educative value in
| that it tends to teach ways Of true
economy.
The conservation of the marine life
Is quite as important az the conserva-
tion Of any other natural resource. An
idea has prevailed in the past that be-
cause fishes are remarkably prolific

Reports of German Retreat.

London and Paris continue conserra-
tive in their official statements regard
ing the state of things along the great
battle, line in France. while the unofi-
cial reports of the hghting persist in
the assertion that the, German right
wing is on the point Of turning under
the repeated attacks of the allied
forces. In general the situation is de-
scribed through these latter sources as
a back-folding operation. heavy press
ure having been brought to bear upon
Won Kluck on the northwest and on
the north. while the allied. center holds
firmly and the right is pressing onward,
south of Verdun.
The most significant fact in the case
appears to be the appearance of French
troops at Orchies. near Valenciennes
This is the most advanced point at
tanned by anti-German forces since the
retreat from the Belgian frontier be-
gan. Unless 1t is merely q scouting
party it signifies success in the allied
effort to push against the German line
of communication. One dispatch states
that the Germans had sent a force to
Orchies to punish snipers who had an
noyed the flank and were reported to
have attacked a German hospital, but
ths punitive expedition met . superior
force-and was compelled to retire, IN

dicating that this was more than a
skirsniahing party.
The failure Of the German effort to
break the French west center at Tracy
la Mont, Just east of Compiegne. is re-
garded as an allied success. inasmuch
as 1t was obviously an effort to compel
reconcentration of the allied forces
and the withdrawal of the large flank
ing bodies extending to the north and
threatening Won Kluck's communica-
tions. Had this movement succeeded
way would have been opened to Paris.
and the allied army would have been
separated.
The true Significance OF the French
advances south OF Verdun seems to rest
in the fact that they followed a vigor-
Gus German assault upon the French
line at St. Mihiel Though not spe-
officially SO stating, the dispatches of
the latest development are to be re-
garded as indicating that St Mihiel. if
not reoccupied, has been put in such
position that the German force in pos
session has been virtually isolated. The
Berlin dispatches admit French ad-
vances in the vicinity of Nerdun and
Toul. though in language that is some
what equivocal The bulletin from
Berlin is generally accepted as signify
ing successful French operations.
The battle of the Aisne has now lasted
as long as the battle of Mukden, in
Manchuria, in the Russo-Japanese war.
which continued for twenty days. Ap-
parently the break has not yet come,
and this present titanic struggle in
France will establish a new worlds S
record for endurance, while it has al
ready greatly exceeded anything the
world has ever known in point of the
numbers engaged.

there can be no end to the stock, but
many a fisherman knows now that this
is not true, as numerous once productive
trout streams and lakes sadly attest
Considering the immense quantities oi
fish drawn from the waters, the marvel
is that there are any left, whatever may
be the reproductive powers of these
creatures. The scientific work of the
fish culturists who are now in session
has gone far to correct the wastefui
tendencies and to- repair the damage
wrought by needless fishing and mat
teution to the matter of restocking.
Furthermore, important work Is done
In the discovery and exploitation OF
new forms of fish food. Altogether the
service that these fishermen OF the
highest type are rendering to this coun-
try Is beyond calculation in value.

Work for Idle Men.

Experts have said that the increase
in freight rates asked by the thou
sands of men and women who have
their savings invested in securities of
the eastern railroads might add q cent
in the cost of a pair of shoes. And
who would notice a penny In the price
of a pair of shoes? And again who
would notice n single drop of water
falling upon the hand. Yet that drop
infinitely multiplied forms the benfi-
cent rain that refreshes the earth and
brings forth it's fruits. So it is with
the unconsidered penny. Multiplied and
gathered. it brings prosperity to the
vast railroad industry, and in turn to
hundreds of other Industries. Much
talk is going on about a merchant
marine, and of increased trade with
South America and with China Good
things they would be if we could get
them. But for the present nothing
could do SO much, for prosperity on our
own continent, for revival of business
among our ninety millions of people,
equal to putting the railroads in funds.
