 HOME COMPANY L
Board of Aldermen Appropriate $75
 For Celebration Purposes.

At special meeting of the board of aldermen that was scheduled to take place at 7.30 o'clock, Thursday evening, was called to order at 755 by Mayor Dunn. The mayor spoke on the sentiment brought forth by the news that Company L would reach their home town the early part of next week and thought the city ought to do some thing in the matter. Before the mat ter was discussed to any extent AL derman Holbrook hade a motion that all rights regarding the tweny-four hour notice be waived. This motion was carried.
 The mayor then went on to state that some appropriation should be made and that he would suggest that the board as whole act as a commit tee in regard to the affair. He also stated that he expected to receive mo- tice of the exact time of the arrival of the boys at least twenty -four hours ahead which will give ample time to make the last preparations. It is thought that the mills of the city will close down and allow their help to take part in the celebration. All of the or ganizations of the city will be asked to turn out for the parade.
 Alderman Case made a. motion whereby not over a sum to exceed S75 should be appropriated for the cele- hration. The mayor was authorized to make arrangements with the band and all other necessary arrangements. The final details of the matter will be gone over at the regular meeting of the board next Monday eveSing.

A NEW METHOD OF
 DRESSING PAINFUL WOUNDS
A Thin Layer of Perforated CeIIuloid
 Substituted for Lint.

London. Oct. 5.-Opinion among sur- geons and nurses is practically unani- nous in favor of the advantages of new method Of dressing large and painful wounds, whereby 0 thin layer of perforated ce1luloid is substituted for lint as the first covering for the raw wound. The plan was tried sue cessfully first by Sir Allmoth Wright at St. Mary's hospital, Paddington, and now promises to become generally adopted.
 The celluloid. first rendered soft and pliable by being soaked in a 20 per cent. solution of carbc1ic acid and then washed in weak salt solution, is laid on the raw wound. the perforations being so numerous that it seems most ly holes. Fine lint soaked in a 5 per cent solution of common salt in sterile water is then placed over the celluloid after which firm bandages are applied Owing to tile celluioid, much ffrmer pressure can be used than with ordi- nary dressings.
 One surgeon. explaining the advan- tages of the celluloid dressing, further said: 'In many cases the healing of a large wound is actually retarded by the general bodily depression result ing from the pain caused in the dress ing of it. Again, gauge bandages, when laid directly on tue raw wound, must
