Injuries To The Abdomen.

So many important organs OF the body
lie within the abdominal walls that an in
jury to that part of the body is likely to
be very serious. Injuries 10 the abdomen
may be oftwo kinds: first, open wounds,
made by any penetrating instrument, or
by bullet; and second, contuSionS and
bruises of all sorts, or rupture OF the
muscles by some unusual exertlon.
An open wound of the abdomen that
does not reach any of the internal organs
is generally a simple matter, and heals
quickly with the proper treatment,l but
when the wound is deep enough tu in
jure the liver, or the kidneys, or the
spleen, it becomes very serious matter.
There is a physical and nervous shock
that of itself may kill the patient. That
shock is the first thing for the physician
to deal with, especially if it is compli-
Gated with severe hemorrhage, which is
very likely to be the case.
When the sufferer has rallied and the
bleeding has been checked, there is still
the menace Of peritonitis, or acute in
fIammation of the peritoneum, which is
the membrane that lines the abdominal
walls. When peritonitis is confined TO
one part OF the abdomen. it usually pro-
duces adhesions that shut off the affected
part from the rest OF the peritoneum, and
thus helps TO prevent the spread OF the
inflammation.
But the infection that spreads quickly
over the whole peritoneum is generally
fatal. The Inflammation is always the
result of germs that produce pus, and the
germs usually enter from without, when
the wound is produced by an infected
knife or bullet; although the infection is
sometimes OF internal origin, from rup-
tured intestines.
When person has bad wound Of the
abdomen, the shock and the hemouhage
call for immediate treatment, together
with attention to the open wound, and
doctor cannot be called too quickly. II
he cannot come at once, If cannot do any
harm TO elevate the loot of the bed and
maintain the body heat by artificial means,
such as hot bottles, mustard applied over
the heart, and so on. II is also a good
plan TO give the sufferer drink of hot
coffee with or without other stimulants.
BY these means the patient can be help
ed 10 rally, so that when the doctor ar
rives he may be aole to stand more vigor-

Teeth And Health.

In recent public lecture al the Har-
ward Medical School DR.. E. q. Bracket
of Boston called attention 10 the teeth in
the human economy. "The teeth" said
Doctor Bracket, ARE often primary
cause OF rheumatism. Many persons
seem TO have perfect teeth, or the dentist
has treated them so scientifically that the
patient has no trouble but il has been
found in many cases that assesses have
formed at the root OF filled tooth, and
upon the removal OF these assesses the
rheumatism has disappeared" Doctor
Bracket also showed the close relation
OF the teeth 10 the general health OF The
body. Bacterial poisons are commonly
found round the roots, especially where
pus pockets cause swollen joints, butthey
are responsible for other complications.
including inteslh.a! al.nents. Fortunately,
il is not hard 10 discover The sources OF
the trouble; an X-ray photograph OF the
jaw at once reveals the tiny pockets,
which then can be easily removed.

What BeIIaire Discovered.

OF Bellaire's merchant who runs a cash
grocery was over $50 short on his gross
sales on the first home rule Saturday oi
any Saturday for six years. One soda
fountain fell off 800 in receipts during
the week. Milk men say that their prod
uct is in less demand 10 an average oi
about five gallons per wagon. One book
store that usually sells large number oi
magazines TO lady customers on Saturday
reports that their usual customess failed
TO appear and no new ones took their
places. Connections in various lines are
already becoming more difficult, and so
far the tanks from West Virginia that were
TO bring prosperity TO our merchants by
getting a drink and then buying legitimate
merchandise have failed to cross the Ohio.

The Divine Goad.

Doctor Brown smiled gently as he
heard the boy talk. "Did you ever
hear" he asked, "of the woman who
meant to take dose of quinine, but
swallowed large dose OF morphine in
stead ? Her appearance soon became so
alarming that physician was called.
He tried to rouse her from the lethargy in
which she lay.
"'Ii only | could 60 to sleep, I'D be all
right she drowsiIy insisted.
"Unless she is reused, she will die,
the physician answered-which is an al
legory. How often in life we face the
same danger! We cry, Il want life to be
easierp IF only didn't have this un-
ending financial strainP IF only were
not compelled to work so doggedly +!
IF only were relieved OF this anxiety
and that burdenP which is only our way
OF saying, IF only could sleep, I'd be
all right
But the Great Physician sees our need
more clearly. Sometimes the doing Of
the thing so hard to do is exactly the
thing upon which the life Of our soul de-
pends. The -racking strain is Civ
en- us. The heavy burden is laid upon
our shoulders. The difficulty confronts
us. The Physician plies US with the goad
OF necessity. We face the hard task only
because we must. We plod on our hard
way, and slowly, instead of lethargy, and
torpor, energy is ours. Slowly our eyes
open to new understanding ofthe mean
ing OF life. Our souls are awakened and
we really live. The Great Physician has
saved u.s."

Enter The Dried Egg.

A comparatively young industry-the
conversion Of eggs into the frozen and
desiccated product - should become
great stimulus 10 the egg industry OF this
country. In fact. il seems destined 10
have great future. The desiccated prod
uct not oEly furnishes an excellent and
highly nutritious substitute for fresh eggs,
in compact form, to campers explorers,
sailors, and soldiers, but there is an in
creasing demand for il for general culinary
purposes, and wherever eggs are used in
large quantities, as, for instance, in bakeries
and restaurants. says bulletin OF the
Agricultural Department.
The product, as itappears in the market,
is chiefly in the form OF golden yellow
flakes, which are made ready for use by
simply dissolving them in water. The
cold storage Of eggs only retards, but does
not prevent deterioration. With the
modern method OF freezing and deSiccat-
ing eggs, on the other hand, il is possible
10 obtain product that retains for long
time The qualities OF fresh eggs.

Angry Letters.

This at least should be rule through
the letter writing world-that no angry
letter be posted till four and twenty hours
shall have elapsed since it was written.
We all know how absurd is that other
rule, of saying the alphabet when you are
angry. Trash! Sit down and write your
letter; write il with all the venom in your
power; spit out your spleen at the fullest
twill do you good. You think you have
been injured; say all that you can say
with all your poisoned eloquence, and
crafty yourself by reading it while your
temper is hot. Then put it in your desk =,
and, as matter OF course, burn il before
breakfast the following morning Believe
me that you will then have double graf
ification.-Anthony Trollope.

Exchanging War Prisoners.

In ancient times prisoners OF war were
killed, unless, of course. the belligerents
found il most profitable TO exchange or
liberate them for ransom. But today
nations are bound 10 one another by a
code of honor which forbids inhuman
treatment OF prisoners.
Prisoners are subjected TO no punish
ment in any form, neither must they be
placed in convict prison, although they
may be detained in a fortress, camp, or
town. A reasonable supply OF nourish-
ment must be provided them by their
captors, and they are regarded as being
in the power OF the government OF the
captor, and not under the control OF those
who actually capture them.
Governments, can put their prisoners
of war 10 work, but only such work as
accords with the prisoners rank and
capacity. Also the work must not be
excessive, or relate TO military matters,
and in all cases must the labor be paid
for.
A prisoner always lives in hope OF be-
ing exchanged for prisoner OF his own
government. The exchange is effected
in accordance with agreements in which
time, place, and method of exchange are
fully detailed. This is generally that OF
strict equivalents, man for man, rank for
rank, disability for disability.
An officer can obtain agreater freedom
OF movement or certain privileges while
being prisoner OF war if he makes out a
parole, a written or verbal promise. An
officer giving his parole pledges his honor
TO refrain from particular course OF con-
duct, and if he makes breach OF this
guarantee he is liable to the extreme penal

An Aged Duck

A duck that had served as a
watchdog for thirty-fve years
at the home of Hezekiah Senft,
near Grove, Penn, died the 9TH
err day. The duck was like one
of the family and lived to see
every one of Senft's children
grow to manhood and go out
into the world. He bought the
duck when it was five years old.
Mr.. Senft says the duck left all
most as large a void in the fami-
ly as the passing away of one of
his children would have done.
