 They are all done, sir," was the quick reply.
 F. Did you get the job done before night ?"
 Tt took the greater part of the day.
 In the evening his father, missing the squirrel cage. asked: What have you done with Trip and Trixy?''
 "Milt took them over to his house for a little while," was the answer
 When Mir. Adams went over to Jones' he found Milton busy building a plat form upon which to set the cage.

BURNS CURED BY SUNLIGHT
Johns Hopkins Hospital Tests Open
Air Remedy With suooess In
Number Of Cases.

Baltimore. Md.--A new method Of
treating serious burns that involves
the use Of air and sunlight has been
put into practice at Johns Hopkins hos
pital. and already In number Of cases
has been successful.
Mature cures" have been recognized
as the most practicable In a rapidly
Increasing list of ailments. The gen
eral idea back Of all these methods 10
that nature. with a fair chance, win
do more for the sick body than VIII
drugs OF surgery
In treating burns small part Of the
injured surface is exposed directly to
the sun and air out Of doors. The best
results are obtained in temperate
weather, when the patient can lie at
ease for hours under the direct rays
Of the sun and the influence Of the air.
In colder weather only more indirect
exposure is possible, and then the re-
results are not rapid.
AS result of the treatment skin
grating will not have to be used In a
number Of cases. The effect Of the air
and sunlight cure Is to keep alive
much Of the burned tissue, and In time
this tissue grows out over the burned
surface.
