Cuts Should Be Cleaned.

The danger from cut isn't always in
proportion to its size. Few OF those re-
ceived in work about the home and farm
endanger life by bleeding, for, unless a
large artery is severed, nature has her
own way OF stopping the flow before
serious consequences ensue. But all
cuts, whether large or small, have within
them grave possibilities, for they mean
that the skin, that great protective cover
ing OF the body, has been broken, and
that the soft tissues beneath have been
exposed TO contamination by dirt and in
fection by germs.
Most wounds contain more or less Wis
ible dirt, carried into them by the cutting
instrument, and this instrument, no mat
ter what it is or how clean it may appear
to the eye, is practically always a carrier
OF germs; for germs are omnipresent.
In healthy tissues nature is usually able
10 take care OF these invaders, and the
only evidence OF the fight that is going on
between them and the blood is the "mat-
ter" or pus, that forms while the wound
is healing. Occasionally such germs as
lind entrance are Immediately washed
out by the flow OF blood, and if no others
are admitted the cut surfaces unite with
out any pus showing. This is the result
to be hoped for, and the aim Of proper
treatment.
Knowing that the chief danger from all
minor wounds lies in the possibility OF
their infection by malignant germs, we
have the key to their proper treatment.
This is exceedingly simple, calling but
for two things; first, the attainment OF
cleanliness in and about the wound, and,
second, the maintenance OF that cleanli-
ness.
Soap and water are nearly always at
hand. The early use OF these will often
render The use OF surgical measures, later,
unnecessary. A roll Of soft white cloths
that have been washed and ironed should
have place in every home where they
may be ready for dill emergency. Some
pure soap and water that has been boiled,
and is still hot, complete a very Satisfac-
tory emergency equipment.

Spread of the Temperance Movement.

SPA Va NAAS
A jury in the Lake County Circuit Court
at Waukegan, H., gave $4,000 verdict
in favor of six small children of Carl
Hogstrum against Peter Wember and
Steve Cretan, saloonkeepers. Wember
and Cretan, we've charged with selling to
Hogstrum and making him incapable OF
supporting the children. who, after their
mother was sent to the insane asylum last
year, were taken 10 Lake Bluff Orphanage,
where they have since lived.
The congregation OF ST. James Lutheran
Church OF Gettysburg at a recent meeting
voted unanimously TO automatically drop
from the roll OF membership OF the church
the name OF any person who should at
any time sign any kind OF liquor license
application. A resolution like that has
the right ring and shows how sentiment
is growing all along the line. We should
like to see every church take just such a
decided stand on this question.
The whole State of Pennsylvania is
aroused over the liquor question. I'M
mense mass-meetings are being held
nightly by the temperance forces in near
Iy every county. Thousands OF remon-
strances have been filed against hotels
and saloons and many bars have already
been closed. In Northumberland county
q of the % saloons were refused license.
Beginning March lst, the New York,
New Haven and Hartford Railroad dis
continued the sale Of liquor OF any kind
on its trains throughout its entire terri
tory.

Bringing Big Trees To San Francisco.

Old trees from India, Africa and the
Philippine Islands have been uprooted,
transported by elephants. OK teams, horse
and mule-power. electricity, steam and
rail to the grounds OF the Panama-Pacific
Exposition in San Francisco. The meth
cd employed is interesting, as il was at
first thought impossible 10 accomplish
this without very large percentage OF
these centuries old trees dying.
A rectangular cut is made around the
base OF the tree at some little distance
from the edge OF the trunk, severing the
side roots, leaving the bottom roots only
to nourish the tree. Boards are forced
down into these cuts TO prevent the side
roots from growing together again, and
the tree is then left undiSturoed for six
months. BY that time the tree has be-
come accustomed TO living through It's
bottom roots, and these are now severed,
and boards forced beneath the tree, which
is then pulled over on its side. The
boards are then secured into rough box
wrapped heavily with wire rope, and the
tree lifted by derrick TO car or wagon, or
is hauled to the shipping point by such
power as is available.
Hoisted on shipboard, the tree is kept
from the light, and when, weeks or
months later, it arrives at the exposition
grounds il is living, but in a sorry con-
dition. A place having been prepared
for it in rich soil brought from forest lands
on the Sacramento River, it is replanted
under conditions most favorable for its
continued growth. The box is removed
and the tree carefully nursed for 30 days,
by which time it has again fastened its
roots into the earth and will, in all prob
ability, live.

A Patriotic Greed Commended.

One such has been suggested by the
Chase National Bank of New York, one
of the oldest, most conservative and
soundest banking institutions in the coun-
try. II is worthy Of the contemplation OF
every one. In fact, il might be a good
plan for every man TO paste it in his hat,
or on his office desk, or on his library
table at home. And it is especially ex-
ceIIent food for the thoughts OF those
whose tendencies are OF the peSSimistic
variety. The text OF this creed follows:
1--WE believe in our country-The
United States of America. We believe
in her Constitution, her laws, her insti-
tutions, and the principles for which she
stands. We believe in her future-the
past is secure. We believe in her vast
resources, her great possibilitieS-yes,
more, her wonderful certaintieS.
"We believe in the American people,
their genius, their brain and their brawn1
We believe in their honesty, their integ-
rity and dependability. We believe that
nothing can stand in the way of their
commercial advancement and prosperity.
1--WE believe that what are termed
times of business depression are but
periods OF preparation for greater and
more pronounced commercial success.
"And we believe that in our coun-
try are being worked out great problems
the solution of which will be for the ben
eft of all mankind"

Emancipation.

Why be afraid of death,
AS though your life were breath =?
Death but anoints your eyes
With clay-O glad surprise!
Why should you be forlorn2
Death only husks the corn;
Why should you fear TO meet
The Thrasher of the wheat ?
Is sleep thing to dread ?
Yet sleeping you are dead
Till you awake and rise
Here or beyond the skies.
Why should it be wrench
To leave your wooden bench ?
Why with happy shout
Run home when school is out ?
The dear ones left behind
o, foolish one, and blind
A day, and you will meet;
A night, and you will greet.
This is the death OF Death
To breathe away breath,
And know the end OF strife,
And taste the endless life.
And Joy without fear,
And smile without tear,
And work nor care to rest,
And find the last the best.

Zone Paradise For Birds.

On one little island in Gatun Lake,
known as Lion Hill before the impounded
waters of the Chagres River isolated it
from the rest of the canal zone, are more
species OF birds than in any one locality
in the western hemisphere. E. A. Gold
man, of the biological survey, Depart
ment OF Agriculture, in two short collect
ing trips to Panama has procured about
300 different species of birds. and it is
estimated that larger variety is to be
found within the limits OF the canal zone
than in any one State in the United States
about 900. In the neighborhood OF
Gatun, at the Atlantic entrance OF the
canal, alone no less than $50 species have
been found.

Catarrh of the throat Is not only ALI
annoying disease of itself, but 1t ex-
poses the victim to many other dis
eases. We are constantly breathing
into our throats numerous atmos-
pheric germs. Disease germs of all
sorts. This cannot be avoided II
the throat is healthy the system is
protected from these poisonous
germs. But If the throat is raw and
punctured with numerous little ul-
GERS, by catarrh, then the disease
germs have easy access to the system.
Keep the throat well and clean.
This is the way to protect yourself
against contagious diseases. Gargle

der stomachs or indigestion in five

stomach and intestines are clean and
fresh. and you will not need to re-
sort to laxatives or liver pills for
biliousness or constipation.
