The American people have reason
to congratulate themselves over at
least one achievement, and that is
the rapid disappearance of Fourth Of
July tetanus. While the total casual
ties of the glorious day are less
than a quarter what they were hve
years ago the deaths from tetanus
have shown a much greater reduction.
In 1903 there we're All Fourth OF
July victims of that drosd malady In
10000 the number had been reduced
TO 13O, while from last seasons cele-
bration there we're but ? This is
life conservation in the true empha-
sis of the term. "Why not entirely
eliminate the disease this yesr?" asks
the United States Public Health Ser
vice.
The blank cartridge wound Is the
great cause of Fourth of July tetsnus.
When driven into the tissues the wad-
ding carries with 1t innumefable ha'
cilli. and the absorption of the pois-
onous products given off during the
growth of these organisms produces
the disease. The bacilli thrive only
IN the absence of oxygen. It is for this
reason that the physician enlarges

BOARD OF HEALTH BULLETIN
FOURTH OF JULY TETANUS.

the wound of inlet and after removing
all foreign material, dresses the in
jury in such manner that develop
ment of the organisms is inhibited
In order to accomplish this it is usu-
ally necessary to administer a gem
eral anesthetic. Anti-tetanic serum
is of great value as a prophylactic
measure, but it should be given soon
after the receipt of the injury.
Parents should realize that Fourth
of July tetanus is easy to prev ent
but extremely difficult to cure. No
blank cartridge wound is too trivial
to receive careful medical attention.
However slight the injury may ap-
pear, summon a physician and at once
adopt energetic measures. Reliance
upon home treatment may prove dis
astrous and result in the sacrifice
OF life. In 1903. before the wide
spread recognition of the possibilities
of preventive treatment, one case of
tentanus developed TO every four blank
cartridge wounds reported; in 1914,
there was but one case TO every 40
such injuries. This is the measure
of the success OF preventive treat
ment.

Carranza for the civil warfare.
The reply was TO be presented TO the
President in Washington this afternoon

sentative of Villa.
In addition TO the American reply
General Villa made public through his
local agents a copy of the proposal to
Carranza that made for a peaceful set
tlement of MeXioo's difficulties. Either
the rtactionaries will gain the upper
hand il the reyolutionists fight between
themselves OF the United States will in

without discipline of any kind re-

ambitious and false to the principles
for which we took up arms" villa
told the President. I'VE are still
fighting to affirm the same principles
(of the Madero revolution) and for

The immediate cause of the break

out, was the Constitutionalist chiefs
refusal to take the Presidency ad in

organize a constitutional, civil gov
ernment Carranza held out for a
military government, said villa.

The prophet begins with an exhorta-

ludes to the usual customs sanctioned
by the law, for, as on festivals trum-
pets we're sounded TO call the people,
as also II was done when anything
extraordinary happened. Hence. the
prophet addresses not each individual

the least to the greatest, he bids the
whole assembly TO be called, that they
may in common own themselves TO
be guilty before God, and deprecate
His vengeance. This passage shows
that when any Judgment of God is inn
pending, and tokens of It appear, this
remedy ought to be used namely. that
all must publicly assemble and con-

enioined upon the people, and this
practice has not been abolished by the

PLEADS PRIESTS CAUSE.
Secretary Bryan Intervenes in Behalf
of Catholics Held Prisoners.

Washington - Further representa-
ions against the persecution by Car
rama officials of priests in Mexico
were made on Saturday by Secretary
Bryan. Consul Canada at Vera Cruz
was instructed in behalf of the 1870
priests arrested by General Obregon
in Mexico City, where they are de-
tanned in the national palace. Some
of them are reported to be Spaniards.
and these, it is said, have been threat
ened with expulsion from the country.
Carranza officials demanded 100000
pesos of the priests by a certain time,
and when it was not forthcoming told
the foreigners among them, according
to report, that they would be banished
while natives would be held in captiv-
ity. It was not known here how many
of the $50 priests were Spaniards.
Secretary Bryan said he had been
informed that one American and one
British priest in Mexico had not been
mOleSted
