London, Eng. Oct. 2S.-The Central
Unemployed body for London has prac-

there is no work for il to 90. Organized

ployed in London it now finds there are

Briusley Harper. presiding at a meet
ing Of the organization. there is not
only no evidence OF distress but there
is abundant evidence Of abnormally
plentiful employment and exceptionally
high wages Nor do the reports we
have received indicate that the in
creased cost Of living has led to an in

partial explanation may be found in
the fact that owing to the great de

FOUND TO DESTROY
GANGRENE TISSUES

DARIS. France, Oct 23.-Dr. Alexis
Carrel and DR.. Henry N. Dakin
- in making their discovery of the
new autiseptic for gunshot wounds car
ried on the work with artillery fire
sounding almost constantly. Several
houses near the chemical laboratory of
the Rockefeller Foundation at Cam
peigne were struck BY the huge y cent?
meter shells. However, Dr.. Carrel has
continued on duty in his laboratory
without permitting his researches to be
interrupted.
The antiseptic is the result of eight
months or experimental study in the
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 a large scale by the surgeons OF the
French army.
Intended for Immediate Use.
In connection with a statement con-
corning the new qualities Of the anti
septic, DR.. Carrel said that while
there had been a surprising lack OF
epidemic diseases this past summer IN
the trenches, the greatest medical need
Of the war was an autiseptic which
might be used Immediately after a sol
der had been wounded in order TO
prevent the frightfully rapid infection
which sets in at the early stage of the
wounds. He explained II was not
wounds but infection. caused through
the carrying Of soiled bits Of cloth
ing into wounds by prOjectiles, that
brought about the majority Of deaths.
He said that antiseptics heretofore
known, while often good for external
use, were not effective for washing
deep wounds, where the Infection was
most violent.
During the later work on the new
antiseptic, DIS. Carrel and Dakin laid
down the general principle that neither
antiseptic powders nor antiseptics dis
solved in oils or vasseline should be
used. but that an antiseptic should be
applied in liquid form
Based on HypOchIOrite Of Soda.
The new antiseptic. which is based
on hypOchlorite Of soda with its ir-
ritating properties neutralized by the
use Of carbonate of lime and bOric
acid, may be left n week on a wound
without any Inconvenience The anti
septic is prepared by the decomposition
of chlOrite Of lime with a solution OF
carbonate Of soda, filtered. and then
borfc acid added This final solution
