IT'S CMORROW will be independence day-the l4lst
It would be easy to write fambuoyant article about
the great nation the birth of which this day commem-

since that memorable day in Philadelphia in l776, But
nothing could be further from the spirit Of the time.

Ne must play in the affairs Of the family of nations.
etas we look back the Al years that have passed
since this Republic was born there is little in the rcOrd we
need be ashamed Of Always the trend has been in the right
direction Each year the standards by which public affairs,
business and private lives have been measured have been

Ill things, and higher in some. We have preserved the
deasm which gave birth to this daring experiment in gov

SPRAINED ANKLES.
They Are, as . Rule, Accompanied BY
Broken Bones.

They Are. as q Rule, Accompanied BY
Broken Bones.
The first step In the treatment of q
sprained ankle should be a carefully
taken X ray photograph. according to
DR.. s. Bernard Rosenzweig In the New
York Medical Journal, for the reason
that simple sprains without fractures
Of the bones are rare. And the treat
ment Of a break is different from that
Of a sprain.
The simple sprain Is treated with
movement and massage. The ankle is
soaked for fifteen or twenty minutes in
water as hot as can be borne. This is
followed by massage and passive move-
ments, then alternate hot and cold
douches, and a loose dressing of lead
and opium wash is applied. This Is
carried out twice a day, and after three
days the patient Is made to move his
own ankle. This is now strapped for
support, and the patient Is advised to
walk about, wearing a high laced shoe
and carrying a stick.
If a bone be broken the ankle is i'm.
modified with a heavy adhesive dress.
ing or a light plaster cast. At the end
Of a week massage, baking and move
ment are given, and not until after this
is the patient allowed to try to walk.

Nearly Fatal

Siou-. City, Feb. 16.-The transfu-
sion of 500 cubic centimeters OF blood

Aviatore Mako . Poor Showing When
Compared With Dirds.
Although Of recent years aviation
has made such tremendous strides, the
feats Of present day aviators cannot be
compared with those Of natures flyers
the birds. In speed, endurance. lift
ing and sighting power birds beat avia-
tors every time.
A common swallow, for instance, can
travel In the air at the rate Of 100
miles an hour. The vulture when
swooping on It's prey cuts through the
atmosphere at nearly $50 miles an
hour.
The fastest an aeroplane has ever
travelled is 100 miles an hour. and this
speed was only obtained by building a
freak machine. dangerous to handle.
Then, again, birds can fly for TWEEN
ty-four hours at a stretch without de-
scending, even in boisterous weather.
After eight or nine hours continual
flying an aviator Is wearied both men,
tally and bodily. and II he has had
strong winds to fight he Is often In a
state OF collapse.
At a height of 10000 feet the earth
In detail is most difficult for an aviator
to see, and II Is only with strong
glasses that he can discern even large
buildings and rivers. But, although at
high attitudes, hawks and kites can
spy tiny lizards and field mice on the
earth, for their sighting powers are
twenty times stronger than those Of
aviators.-London Globe.

The story Of one woman's pride and
devotion comes out of a jewelers. shop.
A young man bought an engagement
ring. Apparently he was al impecuni-
young man. At any rate he ordered
an imperfect diamond. In less than a
week his fiancee called at the shop
alone.
rs this a fawless diamond?' she
asked. II want an honest answer"
She got 1t.
II thought So" she said. Poor Eel.
low! don't blame him. He did the
best he could. I don't care for myself,
but l have friends who are good judges
Of diamonds. and 1t would nearly Kill
me for them to find out that he gave
me a cheap ring. Will you take this
stone out and replace 1t with a first
class diamond? He will know
the difference. l will pay the bill"
The substitution was effected, and
that young woman Is now proudly
showing her ring.-New York Times.
