SERUM PREVENTS TETANUS

During the last meeting of the Surgical society in Paris, Dr. Fredit mentioned a fact which seemed to show the value of preventive injec- tions of anti-tetanus serum.
 After the battle of Ouleq, cer- tain number of wounded French and German soldiers were collected in a hospital. A German doctor who had remained with the German wounded, and although sufficert serum was placed at his disposal, he refused to use it for his men, saying that he considered such irjectives had no preventive value. The French wounded received the normal doses if the serum. Of twelve German wounded, six contracted tetanus,

The creation of a munitions de- partment, proposed in bill intro duced this week by Senator Cham berlain, seems like a sensible move. Circumstances have compelled us to go into the war game on very large scale and, since we are in it, we should strive to make a success of it. Every part of the work of putting the nation on a solid war footing should be in the hands of men specially fitted for their res pective tasks. Because a man is a good officer or fearless warrior, it does not follow that he is a safe man to direct the manufacture or purchase of guns and ammunition. It too often happens that a man schooled in the art of fighting lacks business acumen and is failure as the manager of anything other than body of soldiers. The application of business principles to the sm- portant work of preparation will hasten the conclusion of the war and prevent needless loss of life. Mis- takes are too costly to be risked in such a crisis as eXists-a crisis that demands the maximum of eff ciency in every department

PATIENT AMERICA.

Americans certainly are patient people. Scores upon scores of out rages committed within our bound aries since the war began, by ene- mics of the republic, and compara- lively few of the offenders punished none with sufficient severity to serve as examples to others of their kind. Many have been interned, some have been imprisoned and few, too few-will receive the eX- treme penalty in due course of time. If there have been executions al ready, the fact has not been given sufficient publicity to serve as warning to others.
 As a people, we Americans are notoriously element in dealing with criminals, and these war outrages are something new to us. We have not yet come to a full realization of the dangers which turk within our midst as the result of our partici patton in the war. The press dis patches tell us of the destruction of our factories by fire and ex plosion, of the suffering and murder of outraged workmen, but we are not yet aroused to the point of de- manding that drastic measures be taken to put stop to the outrages. We must lose more of our factories, more of our fellow workers, before the need of action will impress itself upon our minds. Then we will act, probably as individuals and as gov ernment, and the outrages will come to a sudden halt.
 Those who commit these war out rages are towards of the worst type. If they knew, in adance, that they would forfeit their lives, they would not be so ready to carry on their devilish work. A few public hang ings would help a lot to preserve order among those who do not know the value of liberty or the meaning of justice. But in order to cope successfully with the situation, there must be cooperation between the American people and their govern ment. Every man must stand guard over his own life and property and that of his neighbor, ready to take instant action, should the need arise or to apprise the authorities of threatened dangers. If every Amer ican will do his bit in the policing of the nation, the apprehension of offenders will be rendered much less difficult Extreme penalties will do the rest.

Those following the great relief work of the Red Cross, wIlch is at present holding the interest of the world at large, will note with satis- faction the growth which has dis tinguished Nenana on the list of those fighting for the universal cause.
 The nation, within the past year, made its strongest appeal to every American citizen to help bear the burden resting so heavily upon those called to face the stupendous pur- pose for victory or death. Nenana has responded to every call with a readiness and generosity befitting the true American.
 Under the able supervision of Mrs. Thos. Riggs, Jr., who as acting president of the Nenana branch of the Red Cross, first started the movement here, many gratifying sums of money have been added to the fund within the year of 1917. Before leaving Nenana for the winter, Mrs. Riggs added 434 mem berships to the American list Since that time, and during the Christmas drive, 19 life members and 329 others were procured through Mir. and Mrs. Cramer and a committee formed especially for the Christ mas drive. At this time Mir. Geo. Pennington took out $50 member ship, also giving a generous contri- button to the fund.
 Mrs. Riggs formed a first aid class of ten women under the direc- tion of Dr. Malcolm E. Smith, who thoroughly equipped them for active service. She also was instrumental in raising funds through the summer by arranging several entertain ments, which proceeds helped swell the fund for the year of 1917.

 Sugar is high now, but with the fine new crop coming in, we antici- pate a fall in prices.
