EGYPTIANS ARE LOYAL;
 HAVE FAITH IN BRITISH

CAIRO.-During the last week or two, and particularly when fighting was proceeding beyond the Suez Ca nal, excellent opportunity has been afforded to note the attitude of the Egyptian population toward the Ger manized Turkish empire and toward England. Cairo is the city of tell tales and in its bazaars rumors start easily and flourish with extraordinary rapidity. It was in this soil that the Germans endeavored, as all the world now knows, to plant the seeds of in trigue, hoping to reap a harvest of disloyalty and rebellion.
 During recent events it has been clearly shown how fruitless their ex- pensive and assiduous efforts have been. Though rumors were spread through the bazaars recently that the

JULY 4TH LoCKJAW (Tacoma News)

There were but three victims of the Fourth of July tetanus last year In 1903 there were 407-certainlv a terrible sacrifice on the altar of mock patriotism. The United States public health service has issued a bulletin on the subject, warning us to look out especially for the blank cartridge. It says that when "driv- on into the tissues the wadding carries with it innumerable bacili and the ab- sorption of the poisonous products given off during the growth of these organisms produces the disease. The bacilli thrive only in the absence of oxygen.
 Therefore the attending physician must open the wound and gouge q round to let in fresh air, removing at the same time all foreign matter The operation is not pleasant to pie turc in ones mind, but it is neces- sary to prevent death from dreaded lockjaw The treatment Is so drastic that 2 general enaesthetie should be administered, adding to the expense. Antitetanic serum may be effective if used soon after the injury is re- eeived. The bulletin gives the follow ing warning:
 !" Parents should realize that Fourth of July tetanus is easy to prevent but extremely difficult to cure No blank cartridge wound is too trival to re- ceive careful medical attention. How eyer slight the injury may appear, summon a physician and at once adopt energetic measures. Reliance upon home treatment may prove disastrous and result in the sacrifice of life Tn 1903, before the widespread recognf- tion of the possibilities of preventive treatment one case of tetanus devel- oped in every four blank cartridge wounds reported; in 1914 there was but one case to every 40 such iniur- ies. This is the measure of the sue cess of preventive treatment
 Of course, the best way to avoid serious trouble is to keep trouble makers out of the youngsters hands. The parent who permits 3 child to fool with blank cartridges or other noise-producers of q powerful char aeter runs a grave resk.

RIGGS DENIES STORY

Interviews with Marshal l.. T. Erwin, published in Fairbanks and outside papers recently announced that Thomas Riggs, .Jr., of the Alas kan Engineering commission had an ambition of becoming the democratic national committeeman in Alaska It has also been inferred that he would later become candidate for delegate to congress. But after his arrival here last week. Mr Riggs denied these ambitions.
 It seems from the way Mr. Riggs has talked since his return here, that politics are far from his mind, at least at present, and that his ambition is limited to getting for Alaska a good railroad, to he built by the govern ment. When asked about his report ed political ambitions. Mr. Riggs took it all as 3 joke, and was considerably amused.
 However, Mr. Riggs is an Alaskan soufdough, TOT he haS spent years Tn locating for the government the boun- dary line between Alaska and Canada. He likes Alaska, and it is his inten- tion to bring his family to Fairbanks next year, to be with him when the work of railroad construction is be. ing carried on.
 If one may judge by the sentiments expressed by Riggs, he would prefer to make his home in Alaska for all future time. Thus if is just possible that in years to come, when the ter ritory is developed and the popula- tion is wonderfully increased, MT. Riggs will go to Washington as the representative Of the people of Alas ka in eongress.-Citizen
