Some Tirst PrincipIes Of Healing.

Any sore ulcer may heal in spite Of harm
Nature does strive hard to heal every such
lesion and surmounts many minor obstacles
But nature recognizes certain limitations, and
when these limitations are reached, healing
ceases.
Let imagine we have chronic ulcer to
heal. It Is perhaps oght ten square inches
Of raw surface upon the leg. the result of some
trining injury OF tissues poorly nourished by
reason of swollen or varcose veins.
Is there any agent which may he depended
upon to heal the ulcer? No Yet the .u,cer
ing is as inevitable as sunshine after storm.
The art of surgery in the management of

vised is tho open-air treatment. Old. painful
ulcers and burns which have resisted ali sorts
OF alleged healing applications viii become
paratively healthy. and RAPIDLY heal over. when

is extremely dif1cult to attain, like all tho aim
pie things In modern surgery. In practice for
instance. tho present-day asepsis (clean iiness
without germicidcs) Is Infinitely more effective
and moro difficult than tho old fashioned anti.
sepsis attempting to kill germs after admitting
them to tho wound or sors).

area be unable to meet the situation
adequately.
The Departments OF Justice and
Labor. the boards OF mediation and
Cancellation, the food administration
and other government agencies were
studying with some apprehension to-
day tho situation in the Northwest. and
were prepared. 1t was said to take i'm
mediate steps to meet any develop
ments.
Secretary Wilson. of tho Labor Do
partment, received reports on tho sit
uatlon to determine II the serviceE of
his department could be utilized in
averting the threatened strike. Con-
ciliators OF the department already arc
in tho districts affected.

NO maximum price was set on any com

because the government had in mind the
effect maximum arbitrary price would have
on wages and the efficiency of workers The
wages paid to workers are Il barometer of the
workers general efficiency, and the wages
are largely governed by the prices of food
and clothing and rents. II the maximum of

Many American newspaper readers will
recall the name of General Weyler the man
who SO misgoverned Cuba that the United
States had to intervene and save the island
from complete ruin. Weyler is a very
old man, but it seems that his years have
taught him nothing. He is engaged at the
present moment in directing cannon on his
own unhappy countrymen in Barcelona. and
with true Wcylerian ruthlessness. Spain has
had TO pay dearly for her Weylers, and the
debt is not yet cancelled
