How to Prevent Blood POISONING.

When you have q cut, scratch, q
bruise or any other kind Of injury,
paint it with iodine AS soon as in
jured dip tOOthpick with cotton
rolled on the end Of it in the iodine
and paint over the wound without
washing. The iodine will kill all the
germs in the dirt that gets into the
wound, while washing only drives the
germs farther into the flesh When
painted with iodine, wrap the injured
part in clean cloth for a couple Of
days.

WEATHER TO ORDER.

IL May Possibly Be Brought About by
the Aid of Electricity.
Is it possible to make weather to Or
Ger? In the opinion Of Sir Oliver
Lodge. it is by no means beyond the
powers of man He advances the sug-
geStion that exploration Of the upper
regions would result in discoveries
which would enable man to control the
weather
The latter. he contends. is merely q
matter Of electrical conditions, and the
ingredients necessary for fine weather
are an upper atmosphere charged with
positive electricity and negative
charge upon the earth's surface. Much,
he says, could be done by placing
copper rod round the earth parallel to
the equator and discharging millions
Of amperes Unitsl from this rod Sir
oliver points opt that we have spent
millions on building railways. and why
not invest capital in controlling the
weather by this means?
Meantime, while we are thinking
about the copper rod. much might be
done by electricians. Sir Oliver Lodge
suggests that they should ascend
high mountain, erect a powerful gen.
Grating station and discharge all the
positive electricity they can produce
into the air. BY this means much Of
the abnormal weather from which we
suffer at times might be avoided and
nature be induced to provide us with
more regular seasons.-Rocky Noun

agent. He gave me the option until
| tomorrow, but I told him I'd settle it
this evening"
Sheridan gaZed after him as he left
the room, and then, though his express
sion did not alter in the slightest, a
sound came from him that startled his
wife. 1t had been q long time since
she had heard anything resembling a
chucl1le from him, and this sOund-al-
though it was grim and dry-bore that
resemblance
She frightened eagerly. "Looks like
he was startin' right we'll, don't it,
papa?"
''Startin? Lord! He got me on the
| hip! Why, he knew what l wanted
that's why he had the inspector up
there so t he'd have me beat before
we even started to talk about it. And
did you hear him? Cant reasonably
defend sentimentr And the way he
say U.s. Took an option for Usv
Stuff piled up on Us!"
There was always an alloy for Mrs.
Sheridan. Il don't just like the way
he looks, though, papa"
"Oh, there's got to be something!
Only one chick left at home, so you
start to frettin' about itn'
mo. He's changed. There's a kind
Of a selfish look to his face, and"
Il guess that's the common sense
comm out on him, them" said Sheri-
dan. you'll see symptoms like that
in a good many business men, l ex-
pect"
"Well, and he don't have as good
| color as he was gettin' before. And
he'd begin to fill out some, but"
Sheridan gave forth another dry
chuckle, and, going round the table to
her, patted her upon the shoulder with
his left hand, his right being still
heavily bandaged, though he no longer
wore a sling. '"That's the way it is
with you, mamma-gOt to take your
frettin' out one way if you don't an
Other.'
"No. He don't look we'll. 1t amt
exactly the way he looked when he
begun to get sick that time, but he
kind O. seems to be losin', some way"
Eyes, he may "a lost something"
said Sheridan. Il expect he's lost a
whole lot O. foolishness besides his
Godforsaken notions about writin'
poetry and"
NO" his wife persisted Il mean
he looks right peakid. And yesterday,
when he was settin' with us, he kept
lookin' out the window. He wasn't
readin''
"Well, why shouldn't he look out
the window"
Gle was lookin' over there. He
never read a word all afternoon, |
don't believe"
"Look herer said Sheridan. Gibbs
might "a kept goin' on over there the
rest Of his life, moonin' on and on, but
what he heard Sibyl say did one big
thing, anyway. 1t woke him up out
Of his trance. Well, he had to go and
bust clean out with bang; and that
stopped his goin' over there, and it
stopped his poetry, but | reckon he's
begun to get pretty fair pay for what
he lost. I guess a good many young
men have had to get over worries like
his; they got to lose something If
they're goin' to keep ahead O. the pro-
cession nowadays-and it kind o. looks
to me, mamma, like Bibbs might keep
quite a considerable long way ahead.
Why, a year from now I'll bet you
he won't know there ever was such a
thing as poetry. And amt he funny?
He wanted to stick to the shop SOS he
could Think What he meant was,

Yes, sir, it took pretty fair-sized
shock to get him out of his trance,
but it certainly did the business" He
patted his wife's shoulder again, and
then, without any PREDATORY symptoms,
broke into boistefous laugh.

London, Dec. 6.-The latest reports
received with regard to the Belgian
deportations by the Germans show
that the process is going steadily on
In the provinces, and the taking of un-
employed is expected to begin imme-
diately in Brussels.
Deportations from Antwerp have
become methodical. with four thou
sand men under orders to present
themselves every day at the railroad
station. OF this number, UP to the
middle OF November. slightly under
six thousand had been sent to Ger
many from the city OF Antwerp alone
not including the country districts
nearby.
When the men present themselves
at the station, the reports say, the
Germans make every effort to induce
them to sign contracts for work
among the inducements being an offer
of wages of six marks daily. Those
failing to sign are told that they will
receive only three marks and be
forced to work in the camps. Married
men who sign receive an advance OF
40 marks. and single men 20 marks
and are allowed to go home for two or
three days before starting. They also
are promised that they will be sent to
Liege or Longwy IL they sign.
Despite strong pressure, most of the
Belgians have refused to sign. Those
presenting certificates of employment
in general are released, but those
without certificates are placed on
trains and sent to Germany. More
than 100>-men employed In a guiana
factory were sent to Germany in one
contingent, some of the workers being
more than fifty years of age.

in single file; those selected are told to
go to the right and those released are
told to go to the left. Many were so
stunned or bewildered that they failed
to obey the directions, but as their
cards contained no indication that
they were released, il they happened
to turn to the right they went to Ger
many.
In general, the German soldiers
treated the men well, but the rulings
in most cases were made arbitrarily,
although some were released as a re-
suit Of Intervention by the burgomas-
ters and employers who were present,
who gave. assurances that the men
were regularly and actually employed.
The Germans apparently have at
tempted to confine the deportees to
young married or unemployed men, but
toward the end of the line, when there
was some. indication that the total re-
quired in certain district would not
be reached, factory workers were TAX
en-. When the employers protested.
they were told that such action would
have been unnecessary If the burgo-
masters had turned in lists of unem-
ployed
Seemingly the Germans are making
efforts to secure skilled labor Vir-
tually in every case in which the relief
organization has been compelled to in
'tervene to secure the release of its
workers, 1t has developed that they
were skilled. RAILROAD workers are
particularly liable to be ordered de-
ported. Only a small number of work
ers holding cards showing they are in
the service of the relief commission
have been taken and 1t is reported that
these cases have been the subject Of
q protest by the neutral ministers at
Brussels.

Nationaiizina Prohibitionl

New Republic: William j. Bryan,
himself a believer In prohibition, is
confident that prohibition will break
into national politics. He wants the
Democrats to seize the issue so as to
prevent it from being appropriated by
the Republicans. He may be right;
but we doubt it, National prohibition
is dangerous subject for any re-
sponsible party to put in its platform.
The advocacy Of it would shatter or
at least profoundly disturb the ex-
listing political organizations of both
the Democrats and the Republicans.

PROGRESSIVES

tBy Associated Press.)


Chicago. Dec. 6.-Overtures to the
Republican party for a voice in the
management Of party affairs in return
for Progressive support were made in
a statement which followed a confer
ence OF Chester III. RowelI of Cali
fornia, Clifford Pinchot, Raymond
Robins, James r. Garfield, William
Allen White and Harold L. Ickes.
Permanent Progressive advance
through the Democratic party is i'm
possible, the statement says, in an
nouncing that q national conference
OF Progressives and Progressive Re-
publicans Is to be called within four
months in the hope Of bringing about
reorganization of the Republican
party.
The first step toward providing
Progressive representation in the
party, it was suggested, could best be
brought about by giving the present
Republican campaign committee, the
functions Of the executive committee.
THE result OF the election has
shown that the only hope Of victory
for any political party in America
lies in securing and retaining the
support Of the Progressive voters
the statement says. I'm spite of GER
tain progressive achievements the
merit OF which we do not question. It
is clear to US that permanent Prog
ressive advance through the Demo-
cratic party is impossible. We welcome
the enactment OF Progressive meas
ures by any party, but we are firm
in the conviction that in the existing
two party system, constructive Prog
ressivism may best be achieved
through the Republican party. But to
gain either of these ends, the Repub-
lican party must be thoroughly prog
ressivised in organization, leadership
and principles.
I'VE propose to join with other
Progressives in calling a national con-
ference of Progressives and Prog
ressive Republicans to be held during
the next four months. Such a confer
ence might well take steps toward re-
forming Progressive principles and
considering how to put them into eff
feet.
IAN immediate practical step to-
ward Progressive representation would
be to give the present campaign COM
mittee in the party organization the
functions Of the executive COMMITTEES
of the party. This committee consists
OF ten regular Republicans and six
former Progressives. This would give
the Progressives votes as well as
voices in the party council. A demand
from the proposed conference for such
representation in the Republican or
SOuAu iOL De ignored Dy any
who are seriously desirous of partv
success and nothing less than this
could be accepted as a first step to-
ward securing the confidence Of the
Progressive voters OF the country.
We believe the Republican party
can get the Progressive votes and that
Progressive voters through the Re-
publican party can best secure the
measures of political reform and social
justice to which they are devoted. Rut
TO obtain this there must be some
guarantee that Progressive support
pe1ore election will insure Progressive
publican policies after election

generation; but in spite of the tri-
umphant career OF state prohibition,
the agitation in favor OF nationalizing
the issue has not made any headwEy.
American parties instiLNctiveIy fight

arouses lively differences OF interest
and conviction. can just as vsell be left
to state action. They viii probably
continue to fight shy OF prohibition
until it takes possession OF a sub
stantial instead OF only bare ma
jority of the states; and if they ever
take Il up they will take It UP to-
gether instead of separately. A reform
which requires for its adoption an
amendment to the federal constitution
makes an indigestible diet for party
politics. Federal amendment requires
the support not OF one but both

still a public dance.
