NUMBER SO
THE CARE OF WOUNDS.
Little Talks on Health and Hygiene by
Samuel G. Dixon, NJ. D., IL. D.,
Commissioner Of Health.

The scratch of poisoned ring
was often sufficient to effectually
dispose of an enemy during the
Middle Ages. Such procedure
is no longer fashionable and many
people are careless in neglecting
slight wounds not thinking them
worthy of consideration.
1t is easily possible for any cut
or abrasion which is sufficient to
draw blood to become infected
with possible serious results. Not
that one should worry over a cut
finger or the like, but there are
certain precautions which should
be given to the slightest wound.
This is because through pune
ture, scratch or cut some of the
many micro-organisms may find
entrance and result in infection.
AS these little trouble makers
are found everywhere and are
apt to be on almost anything we
touch it is obvious that some pro-
lection should be given any open
wound.
First, however, the wound
should be cleansed, preferably
with water which has been boiled.
After this is done some antisept-
ic should be applied. A 2 per
cent. solution of carbolic acid of
tincture Of iodine applied around
the edge and directly in the cut
will satisfactorily disinfect small
er wounds and can be easily OBJ
tained. A piece Of sterile gauze
or linen should then be applied.
The wound should not be her
metically sealed as many of the
most dangerous injecting agents
are those which only thrive when
the air is shut away. Among
these is the germ of the dreaded
tetanus of lock-jaw. For this
reason court plaster should not
be used.
1t is wise for travellers, camp
ers and vacationists to provide
| themselves with sterilized band
ages before starting on a trip.
These are put up in convenient
and compact form and are a
material aid in caring for wounds.
In case sterile bandages are not
at hand linen can be sterilized by
pressing on both sides with a
very hot iron or by dipping in
some antiseptic solution.
Deep cuts and wounds of a
more serious nature should al
ways be treated by a surgeon.

Memorial Sermon.

The annual sermon to King
Post G. A. R. was delivered in
the High School Auditorium last
Sunday morning by Rev. j. L.
Yearick assisted by Rev. Robert
E. Peterman. The hall was fill
ed with an appreciative audience.
The Union Choir, lead by Miss
Olive Pittman, rendered special
music. Miss Annie Dickson pre-
sided at the piano.
The followingmembers of King
Post marched in a body to seats
reserved for them; j. Wesley
Hoop, William Reed, Adam Clev-
enger, James Youse, Hezekiah
Polsgrove, James Rummell, and
7. N. Hammel. The organized
Sons of Veterans, Merrill Mace,
George Comerer, George Kelso,
E. Murray Ray, and C. Bruce
Paylor attended in a body and oc--
cupied seats reserved for them.
AS the succeeding years take
toll of the defenders of our coun-
try, these services become more
and more impressive not only to
the Veterans, but to the public.
When we remember that the ma
jority of these men were of vot-
ing age, at least, when they Of
fered their services to the coun-
try, and that fifty years have
elapsed since they were mustered
out, we cannot hope that they
may remain with us for a very
great part of like period. And
yet, if some of these old war
heroes should hear the bugle call
to arms to defend their country
in the present worldwide crisis.
they would. like the storied war
horse, chafe under restraint of
limitations set by Uncle Sam, and
we have no doubt that a few of
them could march as far, and
shoot as straight, as many of the
Sons who soon will be the sole
representatives at these annual
| functions.

The SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION.
A Great Success From Start TO Finish,
Unusually Large Nnmber Of Per-
sons in Attendance.

While no one but the officials
know just how much planning
actual work it takes to keep an or.
ganization like the Fulton County
Sunday School organization on its
feet, and see to it that it not only
marks time, but actually makes
important strides forward every
year, it was a matter of congrat-
ulation to the officers as well as
much satisfaction to the friends
Of the Sunday School, that the
convention last week should take
such high rank with the work in
other parts of the State.
At the first session on Thurs
day afternoon, it was found that
every district in the County was
represented. The instru C tors
and special workers were on the
ground, the auditorium was well
filled with anxious friends, and
the work from the beginning
went on at high speed.
1t was soon found that no one
room in town would accommo-
date the number of people that
would be present in the evening,
and it was arranged that the men
should attend at the school audi
torium, and the ladies at the
Methodist church Thursday even
ing. This was a thoughtful pro-
vision, for both places were filled
to their full seating capacity.
The only change in the pro-
gram as previously announced
was the calling off of the parade
which became necessary on ac-
count of the rain. And had the
weather been favorable, McCon-
nellsburg would have witnessed
one of the most unique parades
in her history.
The music was fine at all the
sessions. One thing that adds
to the music in any meeting of
that kind is, to have plenty of
books. This matter had not been
overlooked, and with a capable
leader, and a male chorus of thir-
ty-fve voices, the music was a
most important feature of the
convention.
All expenses for the conven-
ton were met, leaving almost
enough for the entire state pledge
of $65.00.
Among the speakers present
were Miss Martha Kendall, for
several years doing home mis-
sionary work in the South, and
Miss Alice Wishart, lately return
ed foreign missionary from In
dia. The addresses made by
these ladies were full of informa-
ton and inspiration, and the in
huence will be felt in increased
and more intelligent interest in
this most important branch Of
the work of the great Christian
Church.
1t is out of the question for the
limited space in the home news
papers to give in detail the many
good things said by the several
speakers, but the thoughts ex-
pressed by them will be carried
by the delegates back and given
to the schools throughout the
County, and in that way the
whole work will be helped. The
list of new officials will be given
next week.

STOPPED CHARGING TIGER
Remarkable Presence of Mind That
Saved Japanese Soldier In
Dire Peril.

In the mountainous province OF
Kirin, formerly one of the three
provinces of Manchuria, dispatches
are conveyed by soldiers, who ride
from one district to another. One
day last year soldier was ON his
way back to Kirin city, the capital
of the province, when he espied a
large tiger coming toward him. Dis
mounting, he aimed as best be could
with rifle not of the most modern
pattern, and fired. The animal,
though wounded, was not disabled,
and sprang in a fury toward the
soldier. Fortunately for the man,
he kept his head, and with the rifle
tightly clasped and supported against
his chest, awaited the oncoming Of
the animal. Just as the tiger was
ready for the final spring, with his
jaws wide open, the soldier damned
the point of the rifle with all his
might through the mouth, against
the base of the skull. The force
of the animals spring as he rushed
forward no doubt helped to end the
struggle, for in a few minutes the
tiger was lying on its side and
breathing its last. The plucky SOL
der rode to the capital, 80 miles
away, and reported the incident to
his commander. Half a dozen other
soldiers then accompanied him to
the spot, and between them the ami
NAL was carried home and photo
graphed in front of the command

giyer. Paul Verlaine had some
what similar experience. One night
the poet woke up to find couple of
burglars in his room. Shortly before
this incident he had been driven by
poverty to sell every stick of furni-
ture and was reduced to sleeping on
a sack. His visitors were so touched
by this evidence of dire poverty that
they gave him a franc GO cents)
apiece and took their departure.
Unfortunately" Verlaine had to
admit when he related the story,
''both the coins were bad ones"

A LETTER THAT SHOULD
INTEREST OUR PEOPLE.
Jackson, Miss, Aug. 16, 191
The Brandon News,
Brandon. Miss.

Dear Sir:
The committee on industries
of the Young Mems Business
Club of Jackson is now engaged
in ascertaining the approximate
acreage that will be planted in
wheat in the territory adjacent
to Jackson this fall.
These figures are valuable and
necessary information in decid-
ing on the capacity of the mill
which local Cotton Seed Oil man
ufacturing interests have agreed
to establish to take care of wheat
grown hereabouts.
The mill is an assured fact if
the acreage sufficient to justify
it can be guaranteed. Wheat
growing in Mississippi is not ex-
pertinent but has been tried with
marked success on a small scale,
but not extensively on account
of lack of local market facilities.
This flour mill will establish the
market, and open up a new and
profitale line to you.
So be as liberal with your ac-
reage as possible, and commu-
nicate with us as soon as possible
giving the acreage you will plant.
Also let us know in time for you
to plant your wheat this fall.
This venture depends on YOU,
and it will be profitable to you.
