A Painless War Cure For Burns.

A Painless War Cure For Burns.
Readers who have suffered severe.
burns will be particularly interested in
the new cure that French physician has
discovered, and is using successfully TO
save the lives OF soldiers in the great war.
A soldier from the Somme, says the
American Worlds Work, was brought
into ST. Nicholas Hospital, near Paris,
so badly burned that he was hardly
recognizable as human being. Just
six weeks later he was up and walking
about, and the only indication that he
showed OF having ever been burned was
here and there a discoloration OF the
skin. The new skin that had grown
over two thirds of his body was just like
the skin that was there before, except
for a few smudges OF dark coloring; but
in the course OF a few months even that
will have as even pigment as the rest
OF his skin. There are no drawn places
and no Redeemed tissue. No less
remarkable is the fact that the soldier
suffered no pain after the first day.
st. Nicholas Hospital is full OF similar
or even worse cases. In the last year
il has cured four hundred and fifty cases
OF extensive burns. II is designated the
"hospital for the badly burned" and
glance any morning into one OF its dress
ing rooms shows how thoroughly IFS
name is justified.
The cure is simple and easy 10 under
stand. A young soldier with his hands
and his forearms bandaged is led in by
an orderly and seated on stool. A
nurse removes the bandages and the
burned skin. She washes off the puS
with small rubber hose, and dries the
flesh with an electric hot-air drier.
Then she brings an atomiZer filled with
a hot liquid. This she sprays carefully
over the hand and iorearms, until they
are entirely covered with soft, white,
waxlike film. While that film is still hot,
she lays strips OF thin cotton batting over
it and paints them with the same liquid
until the whole wound is sealed in under
the drying liquid. Then she wraps il in
thicker cotton batting. A week later the
hands are covered with new, supple
skin.
II is not quite so simple matter when
the burns are deeper, but the process is
always the same and does not vary with
the degree OF the burn. The liquid is
combination OF paratfin and resin. Laid
on with brush, il would be painful, but
as ii drops tiny globules, the patient does
not even feel the fall OF the spray on
the flesh. The temperature OF the liquid
when applied, is l58 degree F. 1t would
cause considerable pain if applied TO
healthy skin, but on raw flesh il creates
no feeling Of discomfort.

There Are Good Insects.
Louisville, Kentucky.

The experience of the average back
yard gardener with plant pests has been
such as to establish deep-rooted preIu-
dice against all insects. II is difficult to
see where these pestiferous bugs, flies,
and plant parasites have any place in the
great scheme Of nature, yet one should
not be sweeping in ones denunciation.
II would be we'll 10 limit ones criticism
TO those pests known to be unfriendy,
lest ore should speak i'll of tiny creatures
that do lot OF good. For instance, one
certainly should not wish any hard luck
10 befall such well-intentioned little
friend as the ladybird beetle, The lace
winged lily, and the syrprus fly. One
should tread softly and speak gently, lest
they be offended, for they feed almost
exclusively on plant parasites and are
worth their weight in gold TO any garden
er.
Perhaps the amateur potato grower will
observe the eggs OF the beetle on the
upper side OF the leaf, and fall into the
error that swarm OF potato bugs pres
emily will hatch out. He should know
that the the potato bug lays its eggs
underneath the leaf, while its worst
enemy, the ladybird beetle, utlizeS the
top side for nesting purposes.
Then there is the parasite wasp, which
is vigilant hunter of the green aphis,
an insect which feeds on wheat blades.
The parasite wasp discovers the aphis
on leaf and promptly stings an egg into
it. The sting Stays the aphiS and there
after il becomes the home OF the wasp
Iarva. This process, repeated few mil
lion times, is discouraging to the green
aphis. Another friendly creature IS
called the solitary wasp. 1t stores up
dead insects and caterpillarS tor its larvae
and is one OF the busiest OF insect hunters.
Lately it has been discovered that the
dreaded centipede OF the Southwestern
States has its good uses The cent?
pede has pair OF strong jaws and feeds
exclusively on small household pests,
such as fleas, mosquitoes, moths and
reaches. II is one OF the most valuable
household pets one can have. AS the
bite OF the centipede is poisonous, tits no
proper plaything for the baby, but as an
exterminator of pests il works day and
night

Old Looks?
(BY DR.. l.. II. sMITH)

Persons suffering from too much uric
acid in the system frequently look older
than they should. They age faster and
the appearance of gray hair or baldhead
in early years is, indeed, often a sign Of
uric acid. The face appears lean and
haggard, lines and wrinkles appearing in
young men or women.
The best way to combat this prema-
ture age and the obstruction to the
arteries and faulty circulation is of the
simplest: Drink copiously of pure water
between meals. This will not make you
fat, as it is only the water taken with
the meals that fattens. Obtain at any
drug store a small package Of Anuric,
which is to be taken before meals, in
order to expel the uric acid from the
system. The painful effects of backache,
lumbago, rheumatism, gout, due to uric
acid in the blood should quickly disappear
after treatment with Anuric.

MORGAN'S MEN.

IAN incident is related OF the valley
Men," who arrived after forced march
in winter through snow, wet and sleet 10
relieve General Washington's small force
during critical period OF the winter CAM
paign 1775-76). On reviewing the men,
who, cold. weary, foot-sore and travel
stained, stood with lndomitaole, stern
purpose in their faces, the General is said
10 have congratulated and thanked them
with tears in his eyes. One brave fellow
stepped forward and answered Tor The
company: "Well, General, we've come a
long way and we got pretty wet-6W
we've kept our powder dTy!"]
Up through the Valley "Morgan's Men"
marched,
Grim and stern and strong;
Every man with his matchbox bright,
Each for his country, God, and his right !!
Against oppression's wrong.
Called from the rivers, hills and farms
Came at their Chiettain's call
And each man marched with steady eye
And each man "kept his powder dry"
Through snow and mire and all.
And The" e"Valley Men" who marched away
Brought cheer to Washington!
Brought strength and courage for lIbertyl
Tho wet and footsore their powder was
dry,
And soon the battle was won

Herpes.

There are two. affections called herpes
one an eruption Of deeply seated blisters
on the lower part of the face, usually the
lips; the other, an eruption OF similar
character on the skin OF one side OF The
face or body. The first is the familiar
"cold sore" or "fever blister" il at
tacks most frequently the lower lip, but
is common on the upper lip and some
times on the sides Of the nose or on the
cheeks. II often seems TO come on with
out any apparent cause, but il is probably
always sign OF poison or toxin circula-
ting in the blood the names usually at
tached to the eruption imply that It ac-
companies cold, or some feverish con-
dition in which the blood contains the
toxin OF germ that causes the sore. 1t
also frequently attacks persons who are
taking arsenic as medicine or who are
suffering from arsenical poisoning.
The treatment OF the cases in which
there is no evident cause is simple
enough ; il consists in dose OF salts or
castor oil and the local application OF
spirit Of camphor.
The second form of herpes is very dif-
ferent. II is called herpes zosier iirom
the Greek word meaning grdle), from
the TACT that if runs halfway round the
face or body like the half OF belt. After
a preliminary period, characterized by
more or less pronounced neuralgia pain
and sometimes by fever and bodily dis
comfort, the eruption appears as a line or
patch OF pimpIes surrounded by red
dened skin, and soon the pimples become
filled with fluid that turns into pus
these then break and form shallow ulcers.
Accompanying the eruption is shooting
neuralgia pain that is often very severe
in character, especially when the disease
attacks the aged.
The cause Of herpes zosteT is unknown;
some physicians believe that IT is an in
fectious disease, affecting the nervous
system, somewhat similar to, although
evidently less serious than, poliomyeliiis,
or infanliIe paralysis. So far no one has
found a method of treatment that is cura-
tive; the best that the physician can do
is TO apply soothing powders or lotions
and 10 give such remedies as may be ne
cessarY to relieve the pain when that be-
comes unendurabIe. Tonics are useful
to restore the strength Of the patient after
a severe attack.

"HeIp West Virginia Feed Herself"

Do your bit by helping Uncle Sam
make Our limited meat supply 60 as far
as possible. Have at least one meatless
meal day. Do you realize what this
would mean in increasing the supply for
our own and our allied soldiers ? There
are 100000 families in West Virginia.
II each one would use one pound OF meat
less than usual each day 100000 pounds
would be saved for the general food sup
ply every day and sc. 500, 900 pounds in a
year. Worth consideration, isn't If?
And yet, il can be done without hardship
10 any OF us. 1t seems small thing TO
ask OF us at home 10 live as much as pos
sibIe on the perishabIe foods and save
the staple articles that are easy TO ship,
for our armies in training and in the
trenches.
The iood used in the recipes given be-
low contain essentially the same con-
stituents as meat and, when you serve
them, let them take the place OF meat for
that meal Bread crumbs are used in
many of them. Save all small pieces OF
bread from the table, dry them thorough
ly in the oven, put them through your
meat grinder or roll with rolling pin,
and put away until you want them IN
Mason jar or tightly covered box or can.

SOME GOOD ADVICE
Strengthened by New Britain Exper-
 cnC0S.

Kidney disease is too dangerous to neglect. At the first sign of backache. headache, dizziness or urinary disor- ders, you should give the weakened kidneys prompt attention. Eat little meat, take things easier and use re- liable kidney tonic. There's no other kidney medicine so well recommended as Doan's Kidney Pills. New Britain people rely on them. Here's one of tho many statements from New Bri- tain people.
 Mrs. A. W. Plumb, 32 Elm St., New Britain, says: 'cDoan's Kidney, Pills have given good satisfaction when ever I have used them. Tho pain across my back and shoulder causes considerable annoyance. It seems I am bothered more or less by my kidneys during the winter months. Doan's Kidney Pills correct this trouble. consider them very good and worthy of recommendation"
 Price Soc, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy-get Doan's Kidney Pills-the same that Mrs. Plumb had. Foster-Milburn Co. Props, Buffalo. N. Y.

CHARD.

Chard, or Swiss chard, to give it's whole name. is an evolution of the best. It runs to top instead of the root, and thus 1t often called the sil- yer beet and the spinach beet. It is used only for greens and possesses some of the good points of spinach, cabbage, best greens and kale, says to- days garden lesson from the National Emergency Food Garden Commission, which is cooperating with this paper to encourage the planting of many new home gardens as a war measure.
 Chard can seldom be bought in any market. Yet those who have taste for greens in the summer, when spin ach and other greens are scarce. should surely plant it in. their gar- dens, as 1t is one of the best of the greens plants, and 8 summer pro- ducer. It makes sure-flre crop even in the hands of beginners and against adverse weather conditions Most gardeners who have raised 1t are en- thusiastic about 1t.
 It is another main crop, or whole season crop, that does not 1t in with any second for second crops in the same season. It must be planted in the spring, but 1t begins producing its mature leaves in tho early summer and continues to give them to its grower until frost comes. It Is . beautiful plant with large, Hght-green wrinkled leaves supported by broad. white stems growing directly out of the root crown. The white, blanched root is not eaten.
 Plant ? ounces of chard seed to 1S9
