view of the widespread sentiment en-
pressed Mr., Blackledge has decided to
make the race. This decision upon the
part Of Mr.. Blsckledge will be hailed

even against IA home man. We have
been fair to you and your candidate.
We do not believe he is entitled to a
permanent tenure of the office. The
judges before him did not consider il
so, and retired after the second term.
We believe that it is our turn and
that the voters of Adams county are
fair enough to see it. We do not be-

The voters of Adams county have
already done royalty by Judge DUNCAN
in the way of pnblic office. He is fine
man and has many friends, but it is not
the policy of our state government that
he should hold the office permanently.

2-He is the only candidate in OPP
position to the present judge.
3-No one man should hold the
office permanently. butt should
be passed on occasionally to
those who are competent to fill
it.
4-The Southern part of the Dis
trict. and Webster County as

titled to have the Judge-the
northern part has had that officer
for sixteen years and Adams
county nine of that time.
5-Webster County has never had

HOT SALT BATH
INFECTION CURE
By WILLIAM BRADY. M. D.

Given badly infected hand. arm.
foot or leg in which there is swelling,
pain, signs of pus-formation, and In
the general condition of the patient evil
dences of acute blood poisoning (sep-
ticemia). such as chill or chilllness. fever,
headache, loss of appetite, the essential
treatment is the knife, Not ''lancing,"
but thorough, deep and perhaps multiple
incisions under a general anesthetic. This
is a time when timidity and procrasti-
nation may prove disastrous, and when
prompt and fearless surgery will save
great suffering, If not life itself
BY fearless surgery we do not mean
the mere bravado of employing the knife
That requires no courage, but only knowl-
edge and confidence gained by experience
What we do mean Is fearlessness of public
criticism A good doctor cuts and cuts
deep when he deems 1t necessary, and
he becomes Indifferent to what anybody
thinks about his carving propensity. Such
doctor we would have attend us or our
loved ones in time of need.
But often even the doctor is uncertain
whether to incse an infected part now
or walt few more hours to see what
Nature can accomplish. Or, through fac
tors beyond his control, the inclsions may
be made so late that even free drainage
seems futile in the fight against the in
fecton.
What is to be done meanwhile? Apply
salve? Apply antiseptics? There is grave
doubt whether such treatment can avail
anything; in fact there Is reason to be-
lieve 1t may be injurious, especially If ap-
piled to a raw surface or an infected
wound.
The continuous saline bath seems to be
the ideal and most efficacious measure.
This requires a receptacle long enough
to receive the whole arm or leg, no
matter where the infection seems to be
localized. The water must be kept as hot
as endurable, and enough salt added to
exert drawing" effect. perhaps a hand
full to the gallon. The arm should be
kept in the bath for hours at a time,
the longer the better. If the patient tires
the arm may be removed and dressed in
hot saline congresses for a time. until
the patient feels sufficiently rested to
place the limb once more in the bath.
This treatment we believe, Is superior
to any known antiseptic applications for
severe infections. It's simplicity commends
1t. 1t can do no harm.
