Nerves Mended With Jelly.

Dr. l.. Edinger, a famous nerve spe- cialist of Frankfort, Germany, has de- vised method of making nerves that have been severed grow together again. The Scientific American quotes an ad- dress delivered by him before the Deutsche Orthopaedische Gesellschaft, in which he described his success with this method, a success that no other has been able to claim. Dr. Edinger fills animal arteries with a special gel atin, cuts away the scared part of the nerve and inserts the upper and lower ends of the severed nerve into the artery filled with gelatin. The sep arated ends of the nerve grow togeth- CT with astonishing rapidity through this gelatin.

It was on this vote that the Democrats pected to cut a considerable figure in Illinois. But Hughes carried both states, Illinois overwhelmingly. If the labor vote was cast for Wilson with out regard to party anywhere, it was in Ohio, which is in doubt, but there is nothing yet to show that it was the la bor vote which made it doubtful. Gen orally speaking, the labor vote divided as usual throughout the country.
 X very strong illustration of this was given in Maryland. where the Repub- Ecans have elected Dr. Joseph I. France to the senate over Congress man David J. Lewis. Lewis was orig finally a mine worker, is chairman of the house committee on labor, active in pushing labor measures and appeal ed strongly. to the labor vote. Never | thelesS he was defeated for the senate though the place he was nominated to fill is now filled by a Democrat, Sena. tor Blair Lee.
 l The same thing was true of the wo man vote. The Democrats based theil hopes of Illinois on that vote. But the women in that state divided just as their husbands and brothers did. the majority of them, as of the men, being for Hughes. There were so many who voted for Wilson, however, that there Is not the slightest vestige left of the rounter assumption that they would
 mite on Hughes because of his sup
 sort of the woman suffrage constitu
 ional amendment. That. declaration

 Labor Vote DisappoinSinq
Connecticut western news., 1916-11-09

The next president will have a diff cult task on his hands so far as con- gross is concerned, for the majority in both houses will be so small that it will be almost impossible for either party to control them. The senate is apparently Democratic by a majority of four, and the house Republican by a plurality of five. The Republicans, however, have only one majority over all, there being four representatives of minor parties there.
 James R. Mann of Chicago will be the next speaker, succeeding Champ Clark of Missouri. But the next pres ident will have to deal with a congress in which one chamber is his party's and the other is not, and in both the pluralities are so small that a handful of bolters will be able to hold it up on any question that comes up on any legislative policy or program he may recommend

G. O, p, Gains In Senate,

The Republicans needed to gain eight seats i'll the senate to change it's political complexion, but though they gained them, electing the two Indiana senators, Watson and New, they un- expectedly lost one in Rhode Island and one in Utah. The Democratic ma jority is therefore four though the re- suit in West Virginia is still close.
 Though Hughes carried Rhode Is- land by 5000. the late returns indi- cate the probable defeat of Senator Lippitt Rep), by former Congressman Peter G. Gerry.
 In Utah. which went for Wilson. the Democrats have probably carried also the senatOrship, electing William H. King in place of the Republican senator, Sutherland.
 William M. Calder will be New York's next senator, his majority over William F. McCOmbs being 56,OOO Hiram w. Johnson, the fighting bull [ moose governor of California, was elected to the senate by 10000 as the candidate of the Republican and Pro gressive parties. He was the Pro gressive candidate for vice president with Roosevelt in 1912.
 Gilbert M. Hitchcock, the Democratic senator from Nebraska, Bryan's for mer friend and now his leading enemy, has been defeated by John L. Kennedy. Despite the fact that Wilson carried Ohio, the Republican candidate for senator, Myron T. Herrick, formerly ambassador to France, was elected. 1 Herrick is a friend to France and was opposed on that ground in the prima- ries by adversaries who catered to the German vote, but most of the GerE'ans seem to have voted for him.

 defeated by the Republican candidate Joseph E. Frelinghuysen.

DEATH OF CHIEF IRON TAIL

Iron Tail, the mighty sage and In
dian chieftain, whose features adorn
the buffalo nickles, is dead. The last
wish of Chef Iron Tail never was
realized. Stricken with pneumonia
while performing in Philadelphia, the
cheiftain was taken to St. Luke's
Homeopathic hospital. He refused to
stay there and begged the physicians
to let him go home to his squaw and
die. She lives on the Indian reserva-
ton near Rushville, Neb. The end
came early at Fort Wayne, Ind. The
chef was lying in his berth on the
circus train. Suddenly he gave loud
cry Circus physicians who had been
attending him rushed to his side.
big chef go to happy huntin'
grounds" Iron Tail said, as his face
frightened. Then, without warning,
he uttered a warwhoop such as had
not been emitted from his lips for
years. A convulsive sob, half smile
and the old warrior was free from the
cares and worries attending his later
years. He was 95 years old. The pro-
file of Iron Tail was so characteristic
of the Indian race, that officials at
Washington had him pose for a pic
ture. A cut was made from the like
ness and engraved on the buffalo
nickles. Philadelphia Ledger.

AGRICULTURAL ENGINEERING
AN IMPORTANT FEATURE

The farm inspection tour, will not
only make study of the soil, crop
and live stock conditions which pre-
vail, but also of the house, buildings,
and mechanical equipment and the
features of convenience and santa
ton of the farm home which make
it a good place to live in.
The barns and other buildings will
be studied with special reference to
their general healthfulness, conven-
fence and economy. The satisfactory
and unsatisfactory silos will be listed
and data taken as to their cost, dura-
bility and ability to keep silage.
A study will be made of the equip
ment of machines and engines and the
extent to which the engine is being
used in operating labor saving devices.
OF special interest will be the study
of the natural and artificial drainage
of the farm, the water supply, dis
tribution of water and the disposal of
sewage. The modern conveniences,
such as plumbing, hot water or hot
air heating, electric or gas lighting
and sleeping porches, will receI
attention.

WHY GROW LIVE STOCK?
One of the Big Subjects on the County
Farm Tour

Every farmer is interested in max
ing the most money out of his years
work. Everyone is concerned in keep
ing up the farm so as to produce the
largest crops. How to do this is a
problem best worked out by gettins
together and talking over live stock
raising and feeding.
With high priced feed economical
gains are important. The way to get
the largest and cheapest gains out or
bushel of corn is the thing we want.
Let us get out and see what our
neighbors are doing. Hear what the
experiment station has done in feed
ing cattle, horses, hogs and sheep.
Millions of acres of corn stalks are
wasted every year. Why not save
part of them in the silo? We have
some good silos in this county which
we will visit on the farm tour. These
farmers will give their experience
with silos and silage, the problems
they have found and how they are
cutting down the cost of beef pro-
duction one to three dollars per hun
bred by using more roughage and less
grain. Asy
This day will be the big day in the
county. A big picnic will be held at
noon, at w. Westons. Your neighbors
will be there. Plan on it yourself.

HOW TO CULTIVATE THRIFT

First learn to distinguish between
luxuries and necessities. You do not
need all you think you need, and GER
tainly not all you buy. You want
things because you see them-that is
what shop windows are for Second,
learn to know good value. Learn
where and when and how to buy.
Learn to know good meat from bad,
nourishing from the worthless. Learn
to judge clothing and shoes, and buy
good material-it pays in the end.
Third, keep track of your expenses.
Know how much it costs you to live,
and how much you spend on various
items of the household. Limit your
pleasure money" and choose whole
some pleasures. If you like the
theatre, learn where to see the good
plays at reasonable prices, and go
consistently.
