ELECTRICITY AFTER WAR.

Much attention is being given to
the investigation and recommends
tions of the committee appointed by
the board of trade of Bradford, Eng
land, to report upon the possibilities
of extending and interconnecting
various sources of supply and provid-
ing economical and convenient cleo
trio power for British industries. 1t
is suggested that a national power
distribution system is as important
as national railway, road, telegraph
and telephone systems, and stress is
laid upon the advisability of insur-
ing that there shall be an adequate
and economical supply of power for
all classes of consumers in the
United Kingdom, particularly indus
tries that depend upon a cheap sup
ply of power for their development.
The intercommunication of existing
municipal electric plants and the es-
tablishment Of central generating
stations are among the questions now
being given practical attention.

BRITISH WOMEN GET PRAISE
Authorities Admit That Without Their
Aid Victory in Present War Would
Be Impossible.

A London cablegram gives the fol-
lowing interesting information con-
cerning the oath of allegiance and
work of England's woman recruits.
81, -, hereby swear by Al
mighty God that l will be faithful
and bear true allegiance to his majes-
ty, King George V, his heirs and
successors, and that I will honestly
and faithfully serve his majesty, his
heirs and successors"
For the first time in history the
words of the oath of allegiance have
been sworn by woman recruits; the
elimination of the work of British
women for their country in the war
has been the formation Of the Wom-
ems Auxiliary Army Corps, whereby
women are admitted into the British
army.
Week by week, since August, 1914,
as the insistent call for munitions
came from the army in France,
women poured into the industrial
centers, flooded the improvised fac
tories, steadily filed up the ranks of
the army at home as the men joined
'he army of fighters abroad. Now
the highest ministers of the crown
acknowledge that without women
victory would be impossible, labor,
munitions, railways and food pro-
duction would crash to utter failure.
1t has all been done in the British
way, with the maximum of reliance
on private enterprise, and the mini
mum bureaucratic control; and in
the British way it has fallen to a pri-
vate association to watch that the
burden laid on the women was not
more than human strength could
bear.

German food experts have come to
the conclusion that a dead pig is bet
ter than a live one, at least in war
times. Intimate and exhaustive
studies Of the porcine appetite have
disclosed that the pig is mans chief
competitor in consuming valuable
foodstufrs. Consequently about half
the pigs in Germany have been
killed.
The war food bureau at Berlin
says that while the number of swine
within the empire was diminishing,
census figures of the last quarter
showed that the nation was richer by
100000 head of cattle than it was on
March /. On June 1 it was said there
was within Germany total of 81
100000 head Of cattle, while on De-
cember 1, 1912, there was 21,1OO,-
900.

WORLDS DEBT TO AMERICANS
Beneficent Uses of Nitrous Oxide Gas
and Ether Were Discovered by
Yankee Dentists.

Surgical anesthesia term means
! that abolition Of sensation, either To-
cal or general, which enables the sur
geon to perform an operation with
out pain to the patient. We of the
present day have little conception OF
the horror of a surgical operation 60
or 20 years ago-the amputation OF
leg or an arm, for example-per-
formed without an anesthetic. Nor
is it advisable to let our imagination
attempt to picture tive can let our
thoughts dwell on pleasanter topics.
From the earliest times in the his
tory of medicine there are records OF
attempts to deaden the pain of the
knife. In their efforts to relax
spasm and to dull sensation, sur
geons gave tobacco, opium and alco-
hol internally, and applied balsams
and volatile oils locally-poor make
shifts all. Not until the middle of
the nineteenth century did anyone
discover a real surgical anesthetic.
For this boon the world is indebted
to two American dentists-to DR..
Horace Wells in 1914 for the use of
nitrous oxide gas, and to DR.. Will
liam T. G. Morton in 1916 for the
use of ether. In 1847 Sir James
Simpson of Edinburgh introduced
chloroform, and in the same year
German named Heyfelder employed
ethyl chloride. All these, given by
inhalation. induce unconsciousnes
and with it the loss Of all sensation.
