Louis Republic editorially says:

St. Louis is host this week to
unique body of men--the State Lead
ers of County Farm Advisers from all
the States of the Union. These men
are officials Of the Department Of Ag-
riculture, and the organization Of the
work of which they have charge rep
resents the blending of Federal and
State activities in the interest of bet
ter agriculture.
The Farm Adviser movement is yet
| in its infancy. It is still on trial. The
kind of leadership necessary to make
lit successful is that which establishes
standards and precedents, and breaks
new ground. The movement is max
ing headway because men of excep-
tional ability have been attracted by
the very difficulty of the task.
This movement has an especial sig
nifcance to st. Louis. The future Of
this town, for good or for i'll, is bound
up with the efficiency of American
agriculture. No matter what oui
greatness as a manufacturing center
may become, our manufacturing cen
ter may become, our manufacturer
will always depend for their chic
market on the producing and consum
ing power Of American farmers.
: The Farm Advisers work reache
right down to the individual. It doe
not stop with general advice; it send
the expert to the field, the barn an
the feed yard with the farmer. Man
other great social ends are bound u
with its success. st. Louis wishes t
. the State Leaders godspeed as the
return to their fields of work.

SOLD HORSE For QUINTNE

Rev. Alonzo Pearson of Fulton who
was indisposed with heavy cold the
last Of this week and had to take q
large dose Of quinine to break it up,
said the present price Of quinine re-
minded him Of a deal that his father,
DR.. John s. Pearson, made just at the
close Of the civil war. Quinine at
present is selling around 50 and So an
ounce-in those days 1t was retailing
at $40 an ounce. The elder Pearson
had horse he valued at s120 and he
sold him to Texas druggist, where
he was living at the time for 70 oun-
ces of quinine at $40 an ounce.
Quinine has gone soaring since the
European war began and apothecaries
say the end is not yet. A story ap-
peared in Kansas City paper recent
" about man of that city, who
made big profit on lot of quinine
that had been left to him by his
father at the latter's death some
years ago, with the instructions TO
keep it until the price got much high
err. The elder man said that the time
would come when quinine would be
iselling at stiff price again and
father was certainly right for that
| time is here now.

WAR DEVELOPING A
NEW SURGERY ALLISON
DR.. Allison, Formerly of This City,
Delivered Address to Wash
ington Students.
WAS IN FRANCE THREE MONTHS
Says That American Dentists Have
Done Wonderful Work in Paris
Hospitals.

DR.. Nathaniel Allison Of the facul-
ty of Washington University, st.
Louis, who put in three months in the
American Hospital in Paris, delivered
a lecture to physicians and students
Monday night in the laboratory lee
ture room. The lecture was Illus
trated with lantern slides.
DR.. Allison who is well known in
Mexico said that this war had caused
swift change in many surgical
methods, as large proportion of the
wounds received were different from
those brought to the attention of sur
geons by any previous war. Gaping
wounds caused by shells made up a
vast majority Of the cases treated.
From the moment a wounded man
was picked up until he arrives at
some hospital in the rear he was
never removed from the stretcher, nor
was his clothing changed, said DR..
Allison. First aid was given just
behind the firing line and the patient
was then moved to some point in the
rear, where better attention could be
given. Then il he could be moved
by train to Paris or some other hos
pital base. From the train he was
transported in a motor ambulance.
Sometimes this process required sew
eral days.
Aluminium Splints Predominate.
The first aid surgeons were sup
piled with quantities of splints and
braces of all kinds, majority being
of aluminium, so that they might be
fitted easily. Sometimes an injury
was of such character that ordin.
ary measures were of no avail. Then
the wounded man was sometimes tied
up full length between poles taker
from stretchers. At times parts Of
big shell were used to guard big
wounds in the head. DR. Allison
showed picture or a long scalI
wound, the edges of which had beer
held together with ordinary iroi
wire.
One Of the most interesting of ney
surgical methods, DIR. Allison SAID
was that by which large wounds an
some Of the frightful fractures caus
!, ed by explosives were left expose
until the patient could reach the hos
pital. A plaster cast was place
above and below the wound and curv
ed iron splints imbedded in the plas
: ter at each end, forming an open Gag
over the wound.
American Dentists Famous
Dr.. Allison praised the work Q
American surgeons and nurses. II
said the American dentists at tn
front were making a great name 70
themselves and that in hundreds q
cases French men, wounded in tn
Jaws, asked to be sent to the Amer
lean Hospital, which was rated as tn
best for injuries to the jaw and tn
extremities. The French surgeon
= had specialized some of the hospita
: as much as possible, so that thei
was little delay in assigning II
: wounded to the place where the
u could obtain the best treatment.

FOLK ADVOCATES FEDERATION

Baltimore, Nd, Nov 22.-Estab-
lishment Of federation Of the q
American Republics to stand back Of
the Monroe Doctrine was advocated
in speech last night by Joseph W.
Folk, chief counsel of the Interstate
Commerce Commission.
Such step, he said, would set a
precedent for the formation Of a
European federation and pave the
way for ultimate world peace and
disarmament.
Mr.. Folk declared there should be
adequate preparedness in the United
States not only to repel foreign inva-
sion, but to deal with domestic enc
mics who subvert the functions of
government to their private greed.
