CARREL Tells
OF SURGERY ON
BATTLE LINES
Nobel Prize Winner De-
scribes Some of New An
s|H Il
ti-septic Treatments.

New York, Oct. 15.-Dr. Alexis
Carrel described to a large audience
in the Academy Of Medicine the treat
ment of wounds which he and his as.
sociates have used so successfully In
France. He lectured in the uniform
of a French major.
No new principle. no newly discov-
cred antiseptic, DR.. Carrel said, could
be thanked for the wonders which
French surgeons are achieving. Re-
suits have been reached through a
carefully worked out technique devel-
oped by the team work Of one
physicist and mathematician, two
chemists, and two ba~cteriologists. He
enumerated four steps to his TECH
nique. They are, first, mechanical
sterilization; second. chemical sterfl-s
fourth, closing of the wound. 'zss
First Step Most Important.
1.-THE first step of all is the mosttim-
portant," DR.. Carrel explained, ""for r.
the wound is widely opened aimmedi-f

enough to prevent disastrous compile

THE MOONLIGHT PARTY,

Once upon a time, in the brightest
part Of the moonlight, nine little
flower fairies decided to have a frolic.
I'VE always have our parties in the
daytime" said one. Lets change
and have one in the moonlight"
That's a fine idea." spoke another.
But where shall we have a party?
All the trees are filled with shadows;
all the flowers r asleep; all the sun
beam messengers are far away. How
may we fairies have a party-tell me
that"
And all the fairies, everyone of the
nine, shook their golden heads and
thought and thought and thought.
Finally the littlest fairy of all spoke
up and said: TO be sure the trees
are filled with shadows. We all know
the flowers r fast asleep, and the
messengers who summon fairies to
parties are far. far away. But what
of that?"
And all the eight fairies shook
their heads and asked each other,
What Of that?"
1--WE nine fairies are already here

INSURANCE
RATES INCREASED
Standardized Term Rule Goes Into
Effect In Missouri Today
For All Risks In
Future.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, Oct. l.
Fire insurance rates as a whole will
be increased in Missouri with the
adoption today of the standardized
term rule, which treats alike all
classes Of risks for a longer term
than one year. 1t is a hard matter
to determine just what the average
increase will be.
State Superintendent of Insurance
Walter Chorn announced that the
standardized-term rule had been adopt
ed, following the application last No
yember of the Missouri inspection
bureau of ST. Louis, representing the
insurance companies.
The rates Of some classes Of insur-
ance will be decreased under the rul-
ing, but no policy now in force will be
affected under the adoption Of the new
ruling.

Immediately flood that territory with

COAL PRICE
FIXED BY LAW
Three Important orders by Fuel Ad-
ministrator Garfield, Which
Became Effective
Today.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-Three i'm
nortant orders affecting coal prices
were issued by Fuel Administrator
Harry A. Garfield.
By their terms the following be-
come effective this morning:
l Maximum retail prices Of an
thracite and bituminous coal based on
dealers average gross margin OF pro-
ft in 1915 plus 80 per cent added to
tho present cost to dealer, as fixed by
the government.
2 Reduction Of 60 cents or Is per
cent in prices at the mines OF fenh-
sylvania anthracite pea coal.
3. Increases ranging from ~ Genus
IN 81 40 a ton for bituminous coal al
the mines in ten states where oper-
ators have claimed that the former
prices fixed by President Wilson were
not sufficient to cover costs. =.
Mr.. Garfield's order covering retail
prices contains full directions to deal
ers how to figure their average gross
margins in 1915 and how to fix their
present prices. 1t is stipulated, now
ever that the new order does not at
feet contracts between retailers ana
consumers.
Whether the public will receive con-
siderable reductions is difficult to
nudge. It is Mr.. Garfield's belief in
many communities, where the retail
ers have been making excessive prof
it's there will be marked decreases IN
nrices to the public. In other local
tiles where retailers have been con-
tent with modest profits. 1t will not
make so much difference.
