DRESSING for Wound Put on Hot.

At recent meeting Of the French
Academy of Medicine in Paris DR..
Bouet-Henry commended the use of a
very hot dressing on certain kinds Of
wounds. To make the patient able to
bear the great heat without pain and
to prevent the dressing from cooling
too rapidly gutta percha is blended
with paraffin or liquid petroleum..
The best results are obtained by mix
ing 1000 parts of the paraftin or pc
trolatum with SO parts Of the gutta
percha and applying it at tempera-
ture between 15S and 1914 degrees Fab
renheit. This takes ten times as long
to cool as water at the same temper
ature, and the dressing remains soft
and elastic.

Habit of Appreciation.

The habit of appreciation does more
to make the possessor popular than
almost any quality that can be named.
You do not need to envy the pretty
girl who cannot even peel potatoes
without making charming picture Of
herself, or the witty girl who can talk
on almost any subject, and make her
self entertaining, provided you have
learned both to feel appreciation and
to show it.-Girl's Companion.

Quoted by a subcommittee OF the joint
legislative war committee, OF which
Senate Leader Elon Il. Brown is chair
man, has failed thus far to reveal any
thing particularly detrimental to the
commission. An effort was made TO
have John Mitchell, chairman, who was
the first witness, admit that the COM
missions work could be adequately handled
by the federal food board. Mr.. Mitchell,
, however. denied this, and said the COM
mission had prevented food riots in New
| York city by checking the rise OF food
| prices.
| III there had been a riot in New York
city and a mob of women had marched
up Fifth avenue, nothing would have
given the kaiser more right TO believe

but nothing like what they would have
