To remove a splinter from the hand,
fill q wide mouthed bottle nearly full
of hot water, says Popular Mechanics.
Thrust the injured part over the mouth
and press it slightly. The flesh will be
drawn down and shortly the splinter
will be exposed under the action OF
the stream. This method is far better
than the common and dangerous prac-
tice Of pricSing the flesh with a pin
or knife point. The usual antisepiic
solution should be applied.

FOR
THE METHODISTS
Notable Gift of an Attleboro Manu-
facturer

Attleboro, Mass, Oct. 21-Plans
to make the Attleboro Sanitarium at
Attleboro a unique institution in
church work are being formulated by
the Board of Foreign Missions of the
Methodist Episcopal church, to whom
John NJ. Fisher, a manufacturing
jeweller, of Attleboro, recently pre-
sented more than four-fifths of the
stock of the Sanitarium, and in ad-
dition a note for 100000 against the
Sanitarium corporation. Most of the
minority stockholders have also trans
ferred their stock to the Board.
The Methodist Episcopal church
plans to celebrate the Tooth ami
versary of the founding Of its mis-
sion in 1919 by increasing its work
in all parts of the world. The San
itarium is the first large Centenary
gift to be announced from New Eng
land 1t was built in 1901 and has
been under the present management
for about ten years. In equipment
and methods of treatment, it follows
closely the pattern of the Battle
Greek Sanitarium in Michigan. The
building is surrounded by grounds Of
hundred acres of farmland, wooC
and lake.
In giving the Sanitarium, Mr. Fish
er expressed the hope that this in
stitution would be the first of mum

for the practical expression Of Chris
tianity in providing place "whert

BOMBING THE GERMAN
GAS PLANTS
The Mannheim Factories Have Been
Heavily Bombed Eleven Times

London, Sept. 30-(Correspondence
of the Associated Press)-The Bad
ische poison gas plant at Mannheim,
in the Rhine Valley, is a favorite OBJ
iect for "strafing" by the British air
men. Three consecutive raids upon
it by night have extensively damaged
it. The raiders bombs partly des-
troyed the sulphuric acid and nitric
vitriol factory and the aniline depart
ment. Other buildings of the plant
were wrecked.
The other factories at Mannheim
have been heavily bombed eleven
times.
A heavy death roll has attended
numerous air attacks on Cologne and
Coblentz where the Germans are be-
ing heavily repaid in their own coin
for their murderous work on London
and Paris. The factories and rail
way station at Saarbrucken have
been bombed ten times by the Brit
ish; Karlsruhe, five times; Frank
fort-on-the-Rhine, three times
Stuttgart, and Zwasbrucken, twice.
Most of the air attacks in the
Rhine provinces have been directed
against the key railway centers, no
tably those at Thionville and Metz
Sablon. The famous railway triangle
at Metz-Sablon and the junction al
| Thionville have been raided 46 times
Photographs taken by the attacking
airmen confirm the extent and magml
tude of the damage done.
War traffic through Metz-Sablo1
has been materially reduced as a re
suit of the frequent raids at a tim'
when quick and regular transpor
of munitions was vital to Germany
military needs.
The big industrial centers on tn
Rhine contain, in addition to lmpor
tant railway functions, some Of tn
largest munition, poison pas and elec
trical plants in Western Germany
4 These military objectives have bee
attacked repeatedly witd marked ef
| feet.
