A temporary hospital for instructing Army surgeons in the Carrel method of treating wounds will be conducted by the Rockefeller Institute for Medi cal Research on it's grounds in New York, N. Y. Dr. Alexis Carrel will be in charge With him will be Dr. w R. Dakin of London, a surgeon identi- fled with Dr Carrel in his work among the Allied armies. The foundation will establish the hospital and finance it.
 The Carrel treatment is a new way of keeping wounds sterile by flushing the parts continually with a solution during the healing process.
 Glasses for Army surgeons will be organized for instruction at the new hospital" an official said. Tt is ex- pected that the War Department will detail surgeons in groups to take the course. Victims of industrial acci- dents will be taken in the hospital for treatment and these will furnish en- ough variety to serve in demonstrat- ing the treatment

MANS HEART SENT
 ACROSS THE OCEAN

PASADENA, Cal, May 2.---At her hotel in this city, the Countess Blanca de Ovies. eagerly awaits news of the safe arrival in Spain of probably the strangest package that has left by ship from New York to take its chan ces with German submarines.
 To comply with the letter of the Spanish law, and to receive an inheri- tance the countess is sending the am. balmed heart of her late husband to be buried in Spanish soil. Her ar engagements for the peculiar transac- tion were made during the last month since the countess has been a guest in this city.
 The count died six years ago in At lanta, Ga, and at that time the body was prepared with the view of sending the heart to Spain at this time. The count and the countess, were natives of Spain and both were exiled because of political differences with the ruling authorities. The count owned a vast estate in Spain. which can come into the possession of the countess after she has complied with the peculiar Spanish law.
 In his will the count left minute in- structions telling the countess just how to proceed in complying with the law. A slow legal development in Spain, conducted at the expenditure of a small fortune, made it unnecessary to carry out the strange burial rites until this time.
 The countess, in an interview the other day, told of her husbands adven- turous life When he was F years old he was stolen by bandits, and a ransom demanded. When the ransom was not forthcoming. the lad was abandoned in a forest after both his hands had been nailed to a tree.
 In 1876 he was exiled fro mSpain for taking part in the Carlist rebellion. and became a wanderer in many lands Los Angeles Times.

SUGGESTS US. SECURE
 JOFFRE AS ADVISER

(By Col Babyan in Chicago Herald)
 We have heard a great deal about the debt of gratitude which the United States owes to France. and so far that obligation has been recognized only in words. Now that it is pro- posed to show in some material form that the country is really alive to this obligation, it struck me on reading the Herald of yesterday morning that if We are really to render France ser vice we should face the question as to how to make that service the most effective.
 The natural answer is that the Un. ted States ought to secure the assis- tance and advice of an expert, a man who knows the needs of the situation, who gained the knowledge and exper- fence in the bitter game of modern warfare, and whose services could be availed of.
 Why not General Joffre?
 Where could We find a man more eminently fitted to advise us not only in regard to helping the allies in an intelligent manner but also in con sulting him about our own prepara- tions? Thus in the most practical manner We should avoid mistakes which have been made by the allies.
 What better service could the hero of the Marne render to France and why not greet him with gratitude as the second Lafayette? Where there's a will there's way Why hesitate to increase our obligations to France.

His Sensitive Soul.

George Challis, owner of theater
In Muncie, Ind, believes that the crav-
Ing for passes to shows becomes q ma
MIA, and relates a case in point,
according to the indianapolis News.
He had been besieged for weeks by a
man for passes to shows in the thea
ter, and two or three times, just to get
rid OF him, had passed him in, which
only seemed to make him the more
insistont the next time, although Chal-
lis was under no obligation to him.
Finally the fellow struck Challis one
day when the latter was suffering from
the effects of poor house" the night
before, and, exasperated, he reached
down In his pocket and, handing the
importuning one dollar, said, go
over there to the box office and buy
yourself ticket like other people do
Putting up, his dignity ruffled and his
feelings apparently hurt, the other re.
piled, what do you take me fora
cheap skater" And then haughtily
walked away-with Challis' dollay In
his pocket.

Don't Neglect Kidneys
Swamp Root, DR.. Kilmer's Prescrip-
ton, Overc0meS Kidney Trouble

1t is now conceded by physicians that
the kidneys should have more attention
as they control the other organs to re-
markable degree and do tremendous
amount Of work in removing the polsons
and waste matter from the system by
filtering the blood.
The kidneys should receive some as
sistance when needed. We take less ex-
ercise, drink less water and often eat
more rich, heavy food, thereby forcing
the kidneys to do more work than nature
intended. Evidence of kidney trouble,
such as lame back, annoying bladder
troubles, smarting or burning, brick
dust or sediment, sallow complexion,
rheumatism, maybe weak or irregular
heart action, warns you that your kid
neys require help Immediately to avoid
more serious trouble.
An ideal herbal compound that has had
most remarkable success as kidney and
bladder remedy is DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root. There is nothing else like it. It
is DR.. Kilmers prescription used in pri-
yate practice and it is sure to benefit you.
Get bottle from your druggist.
However, If you wish first to test this
| great preparation send ten cents to DR..
| Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N r., for Q
| sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper. ADV.

QUESTIONS FOR AMERICANS.

Here are d few of a long list Of per-
tinent questions propounded by Sena-
tor Kenyon of Iowa during the debate
in the United States senate on the pro-
hibition amendment;
"Why do we prohibit the boys in the
army and navy from having booze and
permit those who remain at home to
have it?
eff liquor is bad thing for the boys
in the trenches, why is it a good thing
for those at home?
"When they are willing to die for us.
should we not be willing to go dry for
them?
"When the food controller asks ev-
eryone in the country to conserve the
food supply, why must the food supply
going into beer be excepted?
eff more foodstuff goes into beer
than into whisky, why do we prevent
foodstuff going into whisky and permit
it going into beer?
"Sixty per cent Of the nation, terri
torially, is dry. Are not the feelings OF
the people living in that territory en-
titled to any consideration?
eff the beer drinkers are going to
rebel unless they get their beer, will
the temperance people rebel unless they
get prohibition?
'Why do not the temperance people
claim that they will rebel also? The
temperance people will be for the ma
ton no matter if beer and whisky be
forced on them. Their patriotism does
not depend on having their own way.
''If some one were to take as much
foodstuff as goes into booze and dump
1t into the sea, what would the people
of the nation say?
eff someone should advance the ar
gument that this was necessary in or
der to appease certain people who be-
lieved in dumping foodstuffs into the
sea, and that If they did not do 1t II
would arouse riots, would we accede
to their request?"

PLENTY or JOBS.

Peoria, ILL.,, was for half century
the whisky-manufacturing center OK
the United States. Its five great distil-
leries, the largest in the world, fur
nished 35 per cent of the whisky of TIE
country. They used up $4,000 bushels
Of corn daily and employed 1925 men.
When these plants, on September 8,
under the federal food control law,
ceased operations-so far as the max
ing of beverage liquor is concerned
did these 1875 men face jobless fu-
ture? Not at all. Other manufacture
ers eagerly snapped them up. A Lead
ing business man of Peoria said to q
Chicago reporter: "There is place
for every one of them in the tractor
factories and other industries. We can
use every ounce Of coal the distilleries
have been requiring and are glad to
get it. Peoria will never know that
the distilleries have been closed"

FIRST AID 70 THE ENEMY.

The Baltimore Sun, an anti-prohibi-
ton journal, recently called attention
to serious conditions in ship-building,
due to drink. Work in many OF the
big shipyards is retarded, it says, be-
cause employees are hanging about
saloons and soaking rum into their sys-
tens, and, as a result, either staying
away from work for days at a time or
turning up unfit to handle their part
liz the vast teamwork of modern in
dustry. They weaken the efficiency OF
the whole industrial machine"
Thus in America, as in England, the
drink traffic is furnishing first aid to
Germany. At the behests of the liquor
interests our government is playing
into the hands of the enemy.
