Tribute to Or. Murphy.

To the Editor of The Gate City:
The whole medical world is mourn.
ing the loss of John B. Murphy Of
Chicago, whose death was reported in
your columns last Saturday. 1t was
my privilege to be student Of his
two years ago and, knowing the man
as l do, / feel that too much cannot
be said in praise Of the great things
he accomplished during his life. He
was without question the leader Of
his profession in America, and was
quoted and looked up to by the lead
ing surgeons the world over. The
Murphy button" has been a great
aid in intestinal repair, simplifying
and shortening the time of operation.
Appendicitis and its diagnosis and
treatment were worked out in great
measure by him, and he pointed out
years ago that early diagnosis and
early operation was the salvation of
patients.
Then came his work on the blood
vessels, the suturing of blood ves-
sells, etc, and the transplanting of
tendons. making a healthy muscle do
the work Of one whose function had
been destroyed. Also his work on
the surgery of the nervous system,
venturing into fields heretofore con-
sidered inaccessible. His work on
the bones and joints will be guide
to surgeons for years to come. have

seen him make new joints for patients
who have not walked for years. One
in particular, woman from Texas,
who had not walked for years. One
walked without assistance after he
had made her three new joints. And
then he was great teacher, giving
of his knowledge that he had worked
out himself or, as he expressed 1t,
"grubbed out" to others that they
might be able to do these things and
go out and relieve humanity. He
was a great surgeon, great teacher,
and good citizen.

TODAY,s BIT OF VERSE

MY DOG.
When my dog looks yer friendly metn' pretty
eyes,
An he wags his tail an tries ter lick hand;
Then don't yer look like an don't wot

Yer good enough fer meyer understand?
Sometimes human bein' judges by yer fancy coat,
yer gloves an shoes is an whole;
But dog, when he looks at YER doesn't notice little
things;
A dog-a dog he judges by yer soul!
When my dog yer friendly like he wants to see
yer smile,
An jumps upon yer, lovin, when call;
I'd like yer If yer alone without home r friend
burglar-tramp anything at all!
Sometimes a human bein likes surace-polshed up
Yer talk or table manners plays their part;
But dog when looks yer, goes beneath the top
A dog-a dog he judges by yer heart!

SALARIES WERE
SMALL THEN
State Officers In Old Days Received
Less Than County Officers

One indication Of the marvellous
growth and prosperity OF the state
Of Iowa during the seventy years
since it's admission into the union in
1916 is to be found In the great in
crease in the cost of administering
the state government In the library
of the State Historical society at
Iowa City there is newspaper Of the
year 1912 which contains en- estimate
Of the amount of money which would
be required to operate state govern
ment. The writer, who was an ardent
The daily Gate City and constitution-Democrat. (Keokuk, Iowa) 1916-1922, 1916-08-15

advocate of statehood, felt certain
that $4,000 would be sufficient. The
following salaries for state officers
were recommended: Governor, $1,000;
secretary Of state, $500; auditor,
500; treasurer, 5000; attorney gen.
eral, $500; and six supreme court
JUDGES at $1,000 each. About $1,000
was deemed sufficient sum to afford
compensation for sixty Legislators;
while mileage and other incidental
exposes wound require the remaining
$4,000. AS a matter Of fact the sal
aries of state officers and the com,
pensation of legislators as fixed by
the first constitution Of Iowa were
even lower than those suggested in
the above estimate.

the normal requirements of the United States
will be met, Chicago pit operators to the con-
trary Notwithstanding, and about thirtyfour
million bushels left for export. How much OF

Cedar Rapids Republic: In Illinois
a commission to look into the matter
has found that the feeble minded are
multiplying in that state at the rate
of 100 month. How to segregate
them is problem. Self supporting
colonies are suggested. But how
would it do to stop some of them at
the other end? Why permit them to
be born? Does society have to SUBJ
NIT to the unlimited multiplication Of
the detectives, who, in most cases,
are the offspring of other detectives?
Have we no use for the inefficient
and worthless except for breeding
purposes? Are we to permit them to
people the earth with their kind?

Swat the GrasshOpper and Save the
Crops.

| Grasshopper outbreaks may be ex-
pected in various portions of the State
says A. l.. Lovett, acting etomologist
at 0. A. c. from the present indi-
cation. Grasshoppers injure crops
more or less everyyear and did a
great deal of injury in portions of
the State last year There is every
reason to believe that this condition
will be as bad this year. In most
cases the grasshoppers occur at this
time as only partly grown forms more
! or less confined in the area of their
distribution. In many cases they have
not yet entered the cultivated fields,
but will be found in great numbers
as minute hoppers collected in vast
waste places, rocky areas, etc. ad-
/ jacent to the cultivated fields. 1t is
strongly advised that farmers visit
such portions of land adjacent to
| their cultivated fields at this time and
/ make a search for any of these colo
MES that may be present. A small
amount of the poison bran mash judi
ciCusly scattered at this time will a.
mount to hardly anything as far as
either money or time is concerned
and will surely put a stop to the
threatened outbreak. Where grass
hOppers are already beginning to en-.
ter the field or where later they do
enter the field the same poison bran
mash should be used. Simply broad,
cast it over the areas where the grass
hoppers occur
Grasshoppers tend to collect in open
spaces on the soil for passing the
night, therefore such areas should be
watched for and the poison bran mash
scattered there either late at night
or very early in the morning. The
mixture sufficient to treat an acre is
prepared as follows.
j Coarse bran----------16 pounds
Paris green or white arsenic 4 H..
Lemon eXtract-----2 teaspOontuls
Warm water to make coarse crum-
ibly mash
Do not get the material sloppy. 1t
should fall apart readily in the hand
after being pressed together.-A. L..
