BUILD new FACE FOR BOY
WHO WAS BADLY DlSFICURED
Chicago Surgeon Has Supplied Ears,
Lips and Eyelids for Youngster
Who Was Burned.

A new face has been constructed
by Chicago surgeon for Mike Mon
tiferro, of Miles county, Mont, who
was frightfully burned about the
head in the explosion of new stove.
The eight-year-old youngster now
has new eyelids and lips.
Mike was caring for the younger
children at home while his father
was laboring on the railroad and his
mother was working out" A new
stove, which Mike could not operate,
exploded and he was badly burned
in saving the other children. When
the skin of his face healed, most of
it grew tight across his eyes, ears
and mouth. The surgeon has opened
this skin and built Mike eyelids that
will wink, lips that will open and
ears that will catch sounds.

BONE-DRY EXTRACT
LAW WORRY DEALERS
COMPLAINT MADE OF RESTRIC-
TIONS ON SALE OF ALCOHOL.
DRUGGISTS MAKE FIGHT.

Grocers and other dealers who
handle household extracts as well as
number of manufacturers agents
end brokers in the state, are pretty
much up in the air over the ruling
by Attorney General Clifford Walk
err that the sale of these extracts is
prohibited by the bone-dry prohibi-
ton law.
1t is pointed out that practically
every grocer has a supply of these
extracts on hand, and the manufac-
turers' agents are emphatic in the
statement that pure flavoring ex-
tracts cannot be made without alco-
hol. They called attention to the
fact that under the pure food laws
of the federal government any ex-
tract which does not contain alcohol
could not be labelled as pure, but
would have to be branded as an imi-
tation.
wholesale ana retail druggists OF
the state are dissatisfied with that
portion of the bone-dry law which
fixes what they term Unreasonable,
irksome and expensive" conditions
for obtaining pure alcohol. They
point out that these conditions are
particularly hard on the small drug
gist who is located away from the
county seats, and that because of
these conditions physicians are find
ing it difficult in many instances to
obtain alcohol when it is needed in
life and death cases such as for alco-
hol baths.
The druggists will, it is said, pre-
sent a demand to the legislature

generations, even before the United
States purchased Florida from Spain.
They see Justice in the new offers of
the state and nation and will accept.
From 1912 to the early SOS the
Seminoles suffered greatly from the
cupidity of the white man in Florida.
Since the Civil war their attitude has
undergone gradual change and the
evils since that time have sprung
largely from ignorance or indiffer-
ance to the need of protecting the
Semlnoles from lawless whites. The
arrest and conviction of John Ash
ley, white man, who shot and killed
DE Soto Tiger" a Seminole trap
per, is believed to have done more
than anything else to encourage the
new attitude of the Seminoles. Ash
ley is serving 20 years in prison and
still must face the charge of murder.

most moral Indians in the United
States. No half-breed whites are

RUSSIA CARES WELL
FOR MANNED SOLDIERS
A R GIVEN MISSING LIMBS
AND TAUGHT TRADE BEFORE
BEING SENT INTO WORLD.

Russia is repairing her human
wrecks and making them ready for
another battle-the battle of life.
From one of the big hospitals in
Petrograd countless hundreds are be-
ing sent out monthly with new legs,
arms and eyes replacing the ones
sacrificed to the god of war.
There is a continual stream of
wounded men pouring into the hospi-
tai, some borne on stretchers, others
hobbling on cruthces and still others
walking nimbly but with empty
sleeves. Manned soldiers to the num-
Der of 10000 have passed through
that great institution since 1915.
When these cripples leave the hos
pital it is not the end of the institu-
tons work-rather only the begin
ming. The men are sent to the Grip
pies workshops where they are
taught occupations that will make
them self-supporting.
Get Two Legs for One.
The men who are sent out of the
repair hospital are taken care of by
a society organized by the Duchess
Eenia, society which takes charge
of their lodging and feeding while
they are learning a trade. Everything
possible is done for their comfort.
Men with missing legs have their
sleeping quarters on the workshop
floor, while the armless men, better
able to climb stairs, have their rooms
in the dormitories.
The first set of legs or arms is
given to each man when he enters
the hospital. If a man has lost one
leg in battle he gets two-one a

eve wear the stumps during the
week and save the artificial legs for
Sunday when we wish to look good, &"
said one cripple, as he carefully laid
aside the neatly booted mechanical
leg that is to do him service hence
forth and strapped on the peg"
One of the closely guarded treas
ures of each man is the little record
book that was given him when he
first entered the institution By pre-
senting this book, which contains the
record of his injury and his identifi-
cation, he can procure a new set of
limbs from the government at any
time after two years.
