All Americans and other tourists
who have visited Scotland and the
north of England have waxed en-
thusiastic over the beautiful coloring
of the moors and mountains which
present to the eye a riot Of tints--
pink, crimson, yellow, green and rus
set. This is furnished by sphagnum
moss with which, literally, the cOun-
tryside is carpeted, for it is as luxuri-
0usly soft to the feet as it is a delight
to the vision.
From an appeal issued by the Aber-
deem Sphagnum moss joint commit
tee it appears that this moss is being
furnished in great quantities for sur
gical dressings by this organization
to the hospitals in Britain, France,
Macedonia, Egypt, Italy Mesopotamia
and elsewhere. A department for sub
limating these dressings has been eS-
tablished and the committee is cOnsid-
ering plan to compress the moss by
machinery into fiat sheets, in which
form 1t is light and portable and emil
nently suitable for dressing stations,
field ambulances, etc, and for trans
port overseas to distant hospitals
where surgical dressings are sorely
needed.

REALLY NO TROUBLE AT ALL
Druggist Found 1t Easy to Decipher
Handwriting That Had Proved
Puzzle to Drummer.

John Carpetbags was one of the
most successful travellers on the road
On one occasion he was sent out by
his people to try to get an order from
a big firm which gave all its orders to-
a rival firm
Such were his persuasive powers
that within half an hour he had Sc
cured a big order in the handwriting
of the senior partner.
Unfortunately, this gentleman pos
sessed such an atrocious style of calig-
raphy that not a word was legible,
However, Carpetbags remembered that
druggists can usually read anything
in the way of handwriting, because of
their wide experience with doctors
prescriptions. So he handed in the
letter to the local druggist.
II wonder If you can read thatT
he asked.
The druggist took it and returned to
the back Of the shop. Ten minutes la
ter he reappeared with a small bottle
wrapped in paper and sealed.

Cut Infant Mortality.

When the recently deceased Gen,
eral Gallieni became governor general
of Madagascar in the early nineties,
he was appalled, at the unsanitary con-
ditions and the high death rate.
Though a soldier and not a physician,
he set about to remedy these condi-
tons.
He obtained the happiest results in
his campaign against infant mortality.
He had native women trained as mid
wives and he established and popular
lied maternity hospitals. He regulated
marriage and restricted divorce. He
exempted the fathers Of five children
from taxation and he taxed bachelors
instead.
These and many other works pro-
duced such a change that the French
Academy of Medicine awarded him a
gold medal, a most exceptional distinc-
ton for one who was not a doctor.

Unearthed in vOlcano-smothered Her

healers.
The remarkable fact for the visit

ment. The ancient instruments are
much more complex in their operation
than those of modern times, but have
been made and adapted to particular
uses with wonderful ingenuity. There
are number of instruments used for
genealogical work and to aid in
births, and an equipment of scissors,
forceps for various uses, lances and
knives.
One famous surgeon from the West
examined the specimens very carefully
and admiringly declared that if the in
struments were refurbished and
cleaned and sharpened he would not
be afraid to perform an operation with
them even at this day. Il think these
instruments over 1900 years. old are
better than the instruments in use by
physicians POO years ago" he said.

PUT LIGHTS ON YOUR VEHICLES

All persons have equal rights on the
public highways and all highways
which are presumably safe to travel
by day or night. But the increasing
amount Of night travel by automobiles
requires the exercise of prudence, even
considering our rights. We drive some
Of these motor cars, others are driven
by our own neighbors, and still others
by strangers who, like ourselves, want
no more than their own share of the
road.
The number of reckless automobile
drivers is small. Motor cars cost too
much money and human life is too
precious for any sane driver deliber-
ateTy to risk an accident. The new,
inexperienced driver is always with
us, and as long as buggies and horses

which are dark in color, venture out
on the roads at night without lights,
there win be accidents and uncom-
fortably close escapes. If you must
drive without a light, drive a white
horse; but, better, get a buggy lamp
and use it. Carry a lantern on the
wagon and a small oil light or electric
fiashlight on the bicycle.
Then you may retain your half Of
the road without endangering your
self or others. At the same time you
will keep your own respect as a citizen
who has al right to use his own roads
whenever he pleases, without risking
his life.-Farm and Fireside.
