years the treatment of wounds, frac-

treatment of disease and wounds, was
well organized, cavalry and infantry

it was to bring the wounded out Oh

Strangely enough, surgery, suffering
from the general superstitious horro

Surgery was already an art when
medicine was only phase of super
stition, the earliest record of surgery
having been found among the Egyp-
tians in period about 1000 &C. In
European museums nre instruments,
lancets. tweezcrs, iron rods for cauter-
liza tion and other things used by Egyp-
tian practitioners.
Jewish and Greek surgery immcdi-
ately followed that of the Egyptians.
and surgery was held in high esteem
among the Indians at Il remote age, as
proved by their ancient proverb, "a
physician who is no surgeon is like a
bird with but one wing" Instruments
now on exhibition at Madras. Calcutta
, and Alexandria afford evidence of
their skill.
In Greece surgery had attained high
proficiency long before the day of Hip
pocrates, and in one of his works is
found n complete treatise on the physi-
clans operating room, surgical instru-
ments and appliances, together with
instruction in the correct method of
use; on the proper posing of the pa
ticnt, and the use of water and band
ages. Tlicn follows n description of
various wounds, from which it would
appear that hemorrliages We're arrest
ed then. as now, with cold compress
or styptics, while wounds We're healed
by primary union or suppurntion.
Lesion of the JOINTS injuries to the
spine and various kinds of dislocations
are dealt with. Hippocrates' surgery
treats instructively on fractures and
contusions of the skull. For fractures
the standard operation was trephin-
ing, which, in the view of the writer
should be performed as speedily as
possible.

An Opportunity
EDITOR THE TINES:

EDITOR THE TIMES:
Tacoma has at the present mo-
ment the most unique opportunity
in her history. Only few COM
munities have the privilege of
serving In the war as Tacoma may
serve If she rises to the occasion
in the right spirit.
With Camp Lewis at American
lake chosen as one of the principle
training grounds for thousands Of
men, strangers, away from home
and friends there is a call for a
large and warm hearted hospital
ity to supplement the more mate
rial service which can be given by
anyone anywhere.
Will the citizens of Tacoma CO.
operate with the public library in
a concerted effort to extend one
phase of this hospitality in the
form of interesting, entertaining
and informative reading?
Everyone has in the course of
a life time come across a fine
book which delighted and salts
fled beyond all others; books
which you have felt you must pass
on to your friends.
In community of $4,000 or
more of men, such as will be at
Camp Lewis in the near future
there is sure to be some one whose
tastes are similar to yours.
Wouldn't you like to feel that
some one who is filling a place
you can't fill yourself is enjoying
something you have enjoyed?
VIII you send to the public
library a copy of your favorite
book, be it fiction, humor, his
tory, travel, biography, or what
not?
We want to offer those who are
coming to us the best we have in
spirit that will make the offer
ing of something more than a pre-
functory act.
If you could not send your IA
vorite send whatever you can that
you would offer a friend or guest
to read.
The public library will receive
the books, and prepare them for
circulation. They will then be

among millions of working people
and the few who make up the en-

Between these two classes a

eve find that the centering of
management of the industries into
fewer and fewer hands makes the
trade unions unable to cope with
the ever growing power of the en-
ploying class, The trade unions
foster a state of affairs which al
lows one set of workers to be pit
ted against another set of work
ers in the same industry, thereby
helping defeat one another in
wage wars. Moreover, the trade
aid the employing class to mislead
the workers into the belief that
the working class have interests in
common with their employers.
These conditions can bel
changed and the interest of the
workers upheld only by an organ
ization formed in such a way that
all its members in any one indus
try, or in all industries if neces-
sary, cease work whenever a strike
or lockout is on in any depart
ment thereof, thus making an in
jury to one an injury to all.
Instead of the Conservative
motto, "A fair days wage for a fair
days work, we must inscribe on
our banner the revolutionary
watchword, Abolition of the wage
system 1t is the historic mis-
sion of the working class to do
away with capitalism. The army
of production must be organized
not only for the everyday struggle
with capitalists, but also to carry
on production when capitalism
shall have been overthrow. BY,
organizing industrially we are
forming the structure of the new
society within the shell of the
old"
The Tacoma Times has showed
workingman's spirit, and the
working class is with it.
Yours truly,

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 10.
"A parade of interrogation points
terminates at the office of Major
Gullion, down in the old land Of
flee building. The major has
been made official Interpreter OF
the draft law--so far as the pub
lie is concerned. He is the one
man in Washington from whom
an inquirer can get yes, or no, an
swered right off the bat
For instance, enters the private
secretary of United States Senator
ISmoot, Mormon and one of the
Twelve Apostles:
as a Mormon missionary
engaged in carrying the gos-
pei of MOrnlOnism away from 4,
his native town, subject to
the draft law? Is he a min
lister of the gospel within the
meaning of the law? Must
he claim exemption where he
is or where his home used to
be-"
AHOllltT mOI HUI 1utStlOhs
THE secretary of Senator Smoot
is drafted. Is he government
employee and will he be entitled
to exemption as such?"
Answer: "The only way in
which he can be excused is for
Senator Smoot to make affidavit
that no one else can fill his place"
The next inquirer is a messen-
ger in the war department, and
the answer to the messenger Is
the same. If Secretary Baker will
approve an affidavit, saying no
one else can be as good messen-
ger, then this messenger will be
excused.
Wife Worked Once.
Enter John Smith demanding to
know: my wife worked before
we were married, she is not work
ing now and Is dependent on me
for support. Can l claim exemg-
ton on this ground, or must con-
slider the fact that my wife can

to extend the time for an appeal
