whispered again, but there was no re-

HUNT HELPS MAKE SOLDIERS
Preparedness for Military Emergency
10 Undoubtedly Aided by Out
door Sport.

While not every one Of the three
hundred thousand citizens who Sc
cured hunters licenses last year
could qualify as a sharpshooter, Doc
tor Kalbfus. secretary Of the state
game commission, is not wholly imag-
NATIVE in suggesting that in the main
tenance of its game preserves and In
the encouragement Of the hunt the
state is contributing to its prepared
ness for military emergency, says the
Philadelphia Bulletin.
An essential Of q soldiers equip
ment is to know how to shoot, and
training for Workmanship in the pur.
suit Of bird or rabbit is obviously Of
value. But even more essential Is
the soldiers health, the ruggedness
Of constitution and physical condition
to stand the stress of march and work,
and outdoor training is the sine qua
non. Anything that the state does
to get its young men out Of doors and
to interest them in health.building,
muscle-srengthening. nerveresting
sport, goes far in preparing efficient
soldiers, and to this physical condition
there is added the practical training
In the handling Of gun and rife.

KNEW USE OF ANEsTHETIcs
Conclusive Evidence That Ancient
Surgeons Were Familiar With
Methods Of AlIsvlatlno Palm.

Those who imagine that surgical
knowledge began with later genera
tons. and that the discovery OF
chloroform, revolutioniEed the science,
should read an article recently pub
lished By DR.. ]. de Fenton In the South
African Journal Of Science.
Various anesthetiSing media and
methods were well known both In
antiquity and during the Middle Ages.
Homer mentions the 'anesthetic Of.
fects of nepenthe: Herodotus states
that the Scythians obtained similar
effects from the vapors Of hemp, pro-
duced BY throwing hemp seed on hot
stones. A Chinese physician Of the
third century B. C. gave his patients
q preparation Of hemp TO make them
insensible during surgical operations.
The most important anesthetic OF
ancient and medieval times was, how
ever. wine of mandragora, the use Of
which mentioned BY q great number
Of early writer's, and IL referred to
by Shakespeare. More recently. In
the year 1850. the German surgeon
Weiss. better known as Albinus. am
putated the foot Of Augustus III. king
Of Poland. while under the influence
Of mandragora.
Two other anesthetizing agencies
were employed In very early times,
viz, arterial compression and hyp-
notism.
II IL said that the ancient Assyr-
ians produced Q lethargic state by
compression Of the carotid artery be-
fore performing the operation Of cir
cumcision.
