o|nt EATS HER FIRST
MEAL n the Ast Of Is


Miss Katherine Besse, IS years
old, Of Union boulevard, ate the first
breakfast. luncheon and dinner she
ever ate in her life few days ago.
For sixteen years she had not tast-
ed completely food of any descrip-
ton. The channel Of her throat, the
esophagus. was in position, but was
entirely useless until DR.. Francis W.
Kirsch performed an operation
known as gastrotomy and brought
her back to normal.
When she was two years old Miss
BESSIE, who is the daughter of the
widow Of grocer. drank a solution
Of I've while her mother was busy
at her homework.
The I've burned away the mem
branes of the child's mouth and the
lining of her esophagus and caused
this channel from her mouth to her
stomach to become strictured and
to close tightly.
A physician who was called to at
tend her said she would die unless
her esophagus was cut loose from
her stomach and a new one made
from parts of the stomach fashion
ed into a tube and sewed to the sur
face of her breast.
The parents refused to permit the
physician to cut away the deadened
esophagus, but granted him per-
mission to bring the lining OF the
stomach to the surface of her body
Iand make an opening near the solar
plexus, through which liquid food
might be given to her.
DR.. Kirsch became interested In
the case. He began gentle prob
ring with slender pliable steel rod,
which he forced down her esopha-
gus. One after another the closed
places in the old tissues were fore
ed open and broken apart. As
they were broken they were left at
'tached to the inside Of the new It's
sue that gradually had grown around
the unused tube.
Nature then began its process of
absorption, until thern new throat was
clear of any structure. Then the
surgeon placed the patient under an
anesthetic, and swiftly cut away the
stitches that held the lining of the
stomach to the old opening in the
breast, sewed this together and
dropped it in place. sewed together
the muscles that had been severed
16 vars ago. cut away the abnormal
tissues that had grown around the
wound. stitched the severed skin to-
gether, and when Miss Besse awoke
from the ether. told her she had be-
come normal against. Louis

The Interior Journal says:

that many lead. little time Is given
to thought of self and what that

his own statement. which he asks
the Interior Journal to print, has
become much changed for the bet

he will never again handle or drink
whiskey and will otherwise lead a

have turned over new leaf and
kept the pledge to do better things.
Let us Join In the hope that he is
sincere. He alone knows whether

his promises should not and win

FRENCH BAR COCAINE.
by Associated PreSS.)

Paris, July 2.-The Government has
decided to take as stringent measures
with cocaine and morphine as with
absinthe A radical decree reinforcing
the faulty laws against illicit traffic in
them is expected from the Minister
of the Interior shortly.
: A serious feature of the evil is that
the 'coco," as it is called, has found
its way into the army and navy.
The immense profits on the traffic
tempt the INSCRIPTIONS to risk the
few months of prison the law pre-.
scribes. A gramme of cocaine costs
them 2 cents and they sell it at from
40 cents to so cents. The police are
continually after them, but even when
they are caught they sometimes slip
through some loophole in the law.
The government has decided to close
every loophole now.

A Simple Trap for the House-Fk

to migrate is evident In consequence
if the manure is placed upon plat
form with a lattice work bottom the
larvae, while migrating, will fall
through these openings into the water
in the basin below. In the case of the
experiments at the Maryland Agricul-
turai College a careful count showed
that between July % and October 1
about $4,000 larvae were killed in this
way. This, however, does not include
the number that were picked up from
the basin by sparrows or poultry. Al
together it is estimated that during
the warm weather the efficiency of
the trap was probably per cent
Later, when the temperature was low
er. the traps success was not so
marked This was accounted for by
the fact that when the air is much
colder than the manure heap the lar
vac will not attempt to leave the heap
and therefore will not fall into the
basin
Another difficulty experienced arose
from mosquitoes using the water in
the basin and the cistern to breed in.
This was overcome by cleaning out the
basin at regular intervals and by
sprinkling a little oil over the surface
of the water in the cistern.
Properly constructed, such a trap of
fers no obstacles to the convenient
and economical handling of manure
1t is essential, however, that each
days addition to the heap should be
sprinkled with sufficient water to keep
the manure moist but not enough to
cause teaching. The details of the
construction of the trap are contained
in the bulletin already mentioned
This particular trap was designed to
hold the manure produced by three
horses for three months, but there is
no reason why larger quantities should
not be treated in the same way, by
building larger traps or by building
several of smaller size.

HOW CHINA RAISES MONEY.
(By Associated PreSS.)

Picking, July 2.-The Chinese Gov
eminent has been adopting peculiar
devices for the purpose of obtaining
loans from the Chinese people. since
it is impossible during the European
war to obtain them from abroad.
Besides introducing a lottery system
in order to obtain investments in the
National Savings Bank, they are now
offering decorations to merchants and
others who will buy the domestic
bonds" which the Government is issu-
ing. The purchaser who buys several
thousand dollars worth of the bonds
receives a sixth class or seventh class
decoration: he who buys more receives
a fifth class; and so it goes up to very
large sums, in which case special dec
orations, something new and hitherto
are granted to the man
who trust the Government with hun
dreds of thousands of Mexican dollars

RAILROAD PLAY

A RESULT OF EFFECTIVE
} SYSy=M.

Washington, D. c., July 2.-Effec-
tive railway mileage has played a pc
tent part in the winning of modern
battles The Russians have not only
wellequipped, well-trained men to
deal with in the eastern war theatre,
but, also, wonderful, strategically in
valuable net of railways The Ger
man railways have been instruments
of first Importance in every Russian
defeat. On the western front, where
the fighting has been more stationary,
the highly developed railway system
of Germany meets the equally highly
developed system of France. How
well France and Germany are prepar-
ed to meet the emergencies of war
transportation as compared with the
other belligerents, is shown in a re-
cent bulletin issued by the National
Geographic Society The bulletin
freads:
THE total length of the railways OF
the world is about 100000 miles, of
which considerably more than four,
|fifths falls to the continents of Europe
land America. The United States leads
all the other nations of the world in
the total of its railroad mileage,
though it is proportionately behind
some of them. Belgium, now back OF
the invaders lines, is one of the best
supplied territories in the world for
rail communication, and the railways
OF Great Britain. Germany and France
are equal to almost any strain that a
war traffic may put upon them.
Europe possesses more than 212,-
500 miles of railway lines, of which
about one-third falls to the share of
the central German mowers. the Ger
man Empire and Austria Hungary
Germany, with it's 10000 square
miles of area, has about 10000 miles
of rail line, while France, with it's 20S,-
900 square miles, has 80, 500 miles OF
trackage.
Russia and Finland. together, with
total area of 2,095,616 square miles.
or very nearly ten times the size of
Germany, has railway mileage slight.
ly less than that of Germany In
great part, the Russian railways are
far-flung trunklines, and the Musco-
vite land nowhere has anything cor.
responding to the Interviewing rail-
way nets of Germany and France.
This lack of railway facilities has
been one of the disadvantages that
the Russians have had to overcome
during the present war.
Among the other countries of Eu-
rope, Italy has some 1880 miles of

PRISON TRUSTEES TO MEET.

Jackson, Miss, July 1.-THE regular
monthly meeting of the board of pris-
on trustees will be held in the offices
of the secretary of the board in the
state house on next Tuesday, when
routine business will be transacted
and regular monthly reports Of
the three trustees submitted
1t is understood that the reports of
the trustees will state that general
conditions on the convict farms are
very satisfactory, that the wheat, oats
and corn crop is unusually large.
It is probable that the trustees will
take up and carefully consider at the
next session the question of installing
refrigerating plant at the Parchman
farm. Such action has been strongly
advocated by some of the trustees,
who feel that more attention should
be paid to the raising of cattle both
for consumption on the farm and ship
ment to markets.

REPLACING SHATTERED

Washington, d. c., July 2.-WOrk
will be begun at once on the replacing
of the worn and broken steps Of the
Capitol The old steps, which were
put in place during the administration
of Andrew Jackson, form the center
of one of the most historic settings of
the United States. Here every Pres
ident, excepting George Washington,
has been sworn into office and deliv
cred his inaugural address. OF late
years the cracked and weather-wOrn
steps have become an eye-sore, and
$1,000 was appropriated to replace
the surface. 1t is planned to extend
the front of this portal forward. in or

perfect architecturally. Congress has
postponed action on this suggestion.

ture of railway development has been
especially prominent in Germany
where the state has presided over the

communication. Several great trunk
lines traverse Germany from her west
ern to her eastern frontier and these
lines are prepared to bear almost any

allinclusive network of railroad has
been laid. while German railway lines
parallel the Russian frontier, and re-

Washington, d. c., July "A mag
got trap which will practically pre-
vent the breeding of the house-1y is
described in a new bulletin OF the u.
S. Department of Agriculture, No 200,
"Maggot Trap In Practical Use; An
Experiment in House-Fly Control"
The investigators who carried on this
experiment at the Maryland Agricul-
tural College declare that during Au-
gust and September at least 9S per
cent of the larvae breeding in the ma
1ure were destroyed and although the
trap was not so efficient when the
weather became colder, even then it
greatly reduced the number of flies.
The principle of the trap is simple,
it is easy to construct, and the ex-
oense is said to be probably less in
the long run than the investment
which many farmers now make in
screens for their dwellings, and sprays
and fiy-nets for their live stock. In
IS rOughteSt outlines the trap consists
of a concrete basin with latticed
wooden platform erected upon it to
hold the manure. The basin is con.
nected by a drain pipe with a small
concrete ciStern The bottom of the
basin is filled with water into which
the maggOts breeding in the manure
drop, as they are about to turn in the
pupa or chrysalis stage, and are
drowned At frequent intervals the
water is run off into the cistern and is
then pumped back on the manure pile
In this way all the liquid manure is
saved.
The successful operation of this
trap rests upon several facts connect
ed with the habits of the house-dy
which have been thoroughly estab-
lished by observation. The adult fly
lays it's eggs in fresh manure. There
they remain until the larvae stage is
almost over and the insects are about
to enter the pupa or chrysalis stage.
At this time a pronounced tendency
