First Aid in Cuts.

Peroxide of hydrogen in dirty wounds
is false prophet. Too many are put
ting unwarranted faith in the antisep-
tic qualities of this solution. In many
instances it's employment is positively
dangerous This is true in deep wounds
such as are caused by stepping on a
nail or in Fourth of July accidents for
example.
Peroxide of hydrogen appeals to pop
ular fancy because it is such an active,
stir-about sort of remedy. It foams
and bubbles until it seems as though it
must drive all infection out of wound
by it's busy-body methods. Like some
other busy-bodies, it has no brains. 1t
drives infection in as we'll as out. In
wide open cuts it is likely to do no
harm On the other hand, it does lit
tie good. Clean cuts heal quite as
promptly without chemical assistance.
Probably the best, safest, cleanest
and most convenient household antisep
tic is alcohol absolute, not wood or
denatured). In addition to being
most efficient germ killer, it quickly
evaporates after doing it's work and
leaves the tissues in ideal condition.
"Healing salves and ointments' do
not heal They simply keep germs
from delaying the natural repair. AL
cohol will do this quite as well and
doesn't smear the cut to catch other
dirt, or make a mess for the surgeon
to wash away. Carbolic acid solutions
are likewise attended by danger and
are little used nowadays, even by sur
geons. Sealing a wound which may
contain germs with collodian, 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 ordinary
circumstances. To stanch bleeding
don't use cobwebs, tobacco, etc. Clean
lint and absorbent rawlings will do as
well and will add no new sources OF
danger. For dressings only clean wrap
pings should be used. If cloths are not
certainly clean, saturate them in alco-
hol and wiring out.
In serious injuries it is expected that
a competent surgeon will be employed.

HALE AT NINETY ONE.
John Maltpress Celebrates Birthday.

John Maltpress Celebrates Birthday.
John Maltpress, who is probably the
oldest settler in Edgerton, having re-
sided in Rock county for the past sixty
years, Tuesday celebrated his ninety
first birthday at his home in this city.
The event was participated in by his
sons, daughters and grandchildren, who
gathered at IL o'clock to enjoy fam
lily dinner, which was complete sur
prise on the venerable gentleman.
Mr. Maltpress was born in Witcham,
Cambridgeshire, England, on February
"a, 1923. In 1848 he was married to
Miss Sarah Ann Parr. On November
5, 1850, accompanied by their eldest
daughter, Miss Margaret, now Mrs.
William Butler residing at Clinton juno
ton, they left their native home for
America, coming on a sailing vessel,
which took nine weeks. They located
first at Floyd Corners, Oneida county,
New York, where they remained four
years. Departing from there they
came to Rock county and settled at
Indian Ford, three miles south of Ed
gerton After residing there for two
years he moved with his family to this
city, which has since been their home.
His father, also of the same name,
came here in 1853, and after staying
some time went to Clinton Junction
where he made his home with his
granddaughter, Mrs. Margaret Butler,
and died in March, 1884, at the age of
ninety-six years.
Fourteen children were born to them,
four of whom died in infancy. Those
surviving are: Mrs. Margaret Butler,
Clinton Junction; Susan, Royal J. (for-
merly sheriff of Rock county,, Mrs.
Sarah Greenwood, Edgerton; Emma,
San Diego, California; Mrs. Cora Og-
den, Edgerton; George, Milton juno
ton; Joseph, San Diego, California;
Robert. Rockford, Illinois; John, an
other son, died here on November 9Th,
last.
| On February 8, l91l, Mrs. Maltpress
died, since which time Mr.. Maltpress
and daughter Susan have lived togeth-
er at the family home.
Mr.. Maltpress is a brick and tile
maker, learning his trade in his native
country. At the age of twenty-five, in
1848, he was married to Miss Sarah
Parr.
Even at the small wages Mr. Malt
press accumulated enough money to
bring his family to America and live
comfortably well.
At Indian Ford he conducted lime
kiln and during his residence there
quarried stone for the foundation for
the first Catholic church built in Ed
gerton. Leaving the Ford and moving
to Edgerton he commenced making
brick, which at that time was all by
hand, for Culton & Croft, both now
deceased. Swift's block of this city,
three-story structure now owned and
occupied by Pringle Bros. Company,
and several farm houses of this vicinity
are constructed of brick of his make.
Mr.. Maltpress is said to be the first
man in America to use coal for burn
ing brick.
Retiring from active work many
years ago, he has since devoted his
time to truck gardening on his two
acre farm, in which he continues to
take great pride.
His memory is perfect, strong and
robust, and bids fair to live many more
years.

Stoughton Ski Tournament Saturday.
The most famous skiers of Europe
and America will clash on Saturday in
the ski tourney to be held by the
Stoughton Ski club. Torleif KnutsoD,
who has a reputation in Europe as
skier such as that of 1y Cobb in Amer
lea as baseball player, will clash with
Ragmar Omtvedt of Chicago, the great
est skier in America today, for honors
in the professional class. But they
will not lack competition from other
sources. Four worlds champions will
be on hand to demonstrate their Prov
ess. Among them are Ole Feiring OF
Duluth, holder of record of LA feet
at Duluth; Sigrud Hanson, Chicago,
who jumped 152 feet at Chicago and
who holds the Stoughton hill record OF
al feet; Francis Kempe, former
worlds champion; Barney Kelley, Mt.
Horeb, three times amateur champion
of America; Anders Haugen, Milwau-
kee, former worlds professional cham
pion, and ten others.
David Lind, only one-armed skier in
the world, will compete as an amateur.
His feat is one of the most daring ever
tried on a ski scaffold,
A second feature will be a complete
|somersault in mid-air by Alex Hen
erickson of Blair, who promises to
jump at least IS feet and land on his
feet doing the trick.
