FRENCH ARMY GETS
 NEW ANTISEPTIC THAT WILL DESTROY GANGRENE

Paris, Oct. 2O-Dr. Alexis Carrel and Dr. Henry M. Dakfn in making their discovery of the new antisep- l tic for gunshot wounds carried on the work with artillery fire sounding al- most constantly. Several houses near the chemical laboratory of the Rock efelIer Foundation at Compeigne were struck by the huge 42 centimeter shells. However, pr. Carrel has con tinued on duty in his laboratory with out permitting his researches to be interrupted. The antiseptic is the result of eight laboratory and of six months test in various French military hospitals. As it has met the required tests, it is ex- pected that the antiseptic will be used on large scale by the surgeons of the French army. In connection with a statement concerning the new Qual- ities of the antiseptic, Dr. CarreI said that while there had been a surprising lack of epidemic diseases this last summer in the trenches, the greatest medical need of the war was an anti septic which might be used imnedi- ate1y after a soldier had been wound ed in orGer to prevent the frightfully rapid infection which sets in at the early stage of the wounds He ex
 
 ton, caused through the carrying of soiled bits of clothing into wounds by projecti1es, that brought about the majority of deaths. He said that an- tiseptic heretofore known. while often good for external use, were not eff fective for washing deep wounds, where the infection was most violent
 During the later work on the new antiseptic Drs. CarfeI and Dakin laid down the general principle that septics dissolved in oils or vasseline should be used, but that an antiseptic should be applied in liquid form.
 The new antiseptic, which is based on hypoch1orite of soda with it's irri- tatfng properties neutralized by the use of carbonate of lime and boric acid may be left week on wound without any inconvenience. The an- tiseptic is prepared by the decompo- sition of chlorite of lime with a solu- ton of carbonate of soda, filtered and then boric acid added. This final so- luton of the antiseptic should not be kept more than week, nor should it ever be injected into the veins. By the use of alcohol, solution may be obtained that remains efficient for at least a month. Such a solution has already been placed at the disposition of Paris surgeons.
 The antiseptic was found to de- stroy gangrene tissues. It also pos sesses the quality of arresting blood flow in a lirnitab1e measure. In prac- ticaI hospital work the antiseptfc de- veloped remarkable strength.

Serious Complaint Against Certain

hospitable instinct as 10 entertain their
friends at dinner the theatre or In the

with this senseless term the sordid word

quaintance have suffered the indgnity OF
being publicly placarded rs prominent
and wealthy society women | have re-
strained my rage.
But to-dny. when the Innocent children

tai recognition or formal acknowledgment
by some constituted authority, the word
society" with "A capital IS" would have
a clear significance But no such caste
exists. Instead. we associate with those
who please us and who reciprocate that
interest. My own experience has taught
me that there are here numerous groups
OF persons who take their social pleasures
together judging their associates by the
congenlality OF their dispositions, and en-
joying one another without thought OF
wealth" or prominence" or society"
Yet the newspaper reader would be jus
tified in believing that a sharp line sep
arated society" from the bulk OF the
population, and that within this line there
existed grades distinguished by wealth"
and prominence" all subordinate 10 some
most prominent, most wealthy, most so
ciety authority.
How utterly false this is even a mo-
ments thought will disclose. How lightly
wealth" and prominence offset the
choice Of companions by those who bear
the press conferred tile society leaders"
the experience OF every person who has
made the slightest EFFORT to satisfy him
self on this point will show. So why not
drop the silly custom of wasting good
white paper and black ink on these mean
'uEless words?
Particularly. the children: why should
they not be protected against this de-
grading form of tuft hunting, in the hope
that another generation shall not see the
creation here OF a snohocracy huilded on

Some Things Mr. Wilson Does Not
Consider,

Even the members of President WILL
sons executive family have at last
been compelled to recognize the neces-
Sity of retrenchment in national ex-
penditure. The taxpayers felt the bur
den Of extravaganza years ago. Rep
reScutativc FITZGERALD, chairman Of
the House Appropriations Committee
has warned his colleagues of the dan
ger into which they were running 50
many times that he must he perma-
ncntly hoarsc. Every man in the land
who takes an intelligent interest in the
affairs Of the Government has foreseen
disaster If the waste was not checked ;
that is, every man except one.
That sole and lonely exception Is the
| President. or all the citizens of the
nation whose opinion on the subject
I is worth having NE alone has watched
with entire complacency the rise of
expenses and the exhaustion Of the

portunity offered for him formally and

makers spoke sneeringly OF an amount
of money. in his own words, running,

/ lively small" Thus he deliberately
discouraged that thrift which alone can
reduce appropriations and gave heart
to every applicant for an allowance of
the taxpayers money who could mus
Ter the courage to say that 1t was such
a little one.
Moreover. the President, in the face
of deficit, undeterred by the imposl-
ton of a war tax in time Of peace, heed
less of the impoverishment OF citizens
that must seriously affect the originally
unsatisfactory product Of the income
tax, firmly exercises the power OF his
office to compel the embnrkation of the
nation in commercial enterprise OF

uiicance. acknowledging in advance
