that way. 1t is bad arithmetic.
n-ether-scalpel- - drainage -
all we'll in six days. That is a1ge-
braic-a little too difficult for many
plain folks to understand.
Felon - poultice - danger perma-
nent deformity or permanent trouble.
That is neither arithmetic nor alge-
bra, but blind gambling.
A felon is a deep infection. Usually
the pus-producing germs are upon or
underneath the periosteum, which is
the protective and nourishing covering
Of live bone. If pus accumulates here,
or even in the deeper soft tissue of the
hnger, the patient will suffer great
pain. If the pus is under the perioR-
teal membrane, it will strip this nour-
ishing membrane away from the bone,
and the result Of that is necrosis or
death of the bone. When dead bone
is present there is certain to be pro-
longed trouble from sinus or running
sore-the condition described by the
correspondent.
AS soon as pain, swelling, redness
and localized heatror Inflammation ap-
pear, that is the time to have the felon
opened. And not "lanced." Lancinx
is old stuff, painful, brutal, inefficient;
it is the halfway measure of the
timid. The felon must be freely In
cised, right down to the bone, with the
patient under the effect Of ether. Only
in this way can the thing be nipped in
the bud. In from three to six days
any felOn should be practically healed.
That is, if the aecumuIating pus is
drained before serious damage has
been done by procrastinatfon.
Felony, the advocates of salves and
poultises should bear In mind, is a
crime

Ravenscroft road, died at the Meri-

St. John, about eighteen months ago,
the deceased had resided in Hender-
sonville for five years. Prior to COM
ing to this state Mrs. St. John lived in
New York. She was a woman of
strong character and pleasing person
aIity, and leaves a host of friends both
in this city and in Hendersonville
The deceased is survived by one son
and one daughter, Leon st. John and
Miss Mary ST. John, of the Belvidere,
this city. The funeral service will
be held at the Belvidere this after
noon at o'clock, and all friends of

HONORS TO FIRST BOY
FROM HENDERSON co.
TO DIE IN France

Friends of Corporal Robert E. Will
cox, who died in action in France on
May %, will be interested in the ac-
count below of honors in his memory
as published in the Labor Advocate
of Asheville. Corporal Wilcox was a
nephew of M. E. Holtzclaw of Hen
dersonville an until about two years
ago was in the employ of H. v. Helsel
of this city.
Corporal Wilcox was the first Hen
derson county boy, and the only one
thus far reported, to die in the pres
ent war.
The story from the Labor Advocate
follows:
Members Of the Sheet Metal Work
er's Union of this city paid a great
Tribute on the Fourth to the memory
of their deceased brother, R. E. Will
icox, who lost his life a few weeks
Iago at the battle front in France.
THE members of the union marched
from the union hall on Haywood
street to the square, carrying a large
American flag. The marchers stop
iped near Vance's monument, and
James F. Barrett made short ad-
dress, telling of the pride the Sheet
Metal Workers and the other union
men of the city felt in the splendid
work done by Mr.. Wilcox in his fight
for freedom. It was pointed out that
Mr.. Wilcox was the first Buncombe
county man to give up his life fight
ing with the American forces In
France. On a former OCCASION, the
speaker said, Mr.. Wilcox had been
cited for bravery, and when the Ashe-
willie man met his death he was doing
all in his power to get the Hun.
The service flag of the Sheet Met
al Workers contains seven stars, and
it was, stated that but two of the for
mer Asheville Timers were conscript-
ed, five of them being volunteers.
Mr.. Wilcox was volunteer, and the
big gold star in the center of the flag
brought tears to the eyes of many of
the brave mans friends.
John r. Bray, general secretary of
the International Sheet Metal Work
ers, wrote the following letter to Mr..
lC. R. Scott, a tireless worker and an
active member of the Asheville local:
Mr.. c. r. Scott,
/ "Asheville, n. G.
Dear Sir and Brother: I have this
date received your communication of
the second, advising of the death of
Brother R. E. Wilcox, this brother
having met his death on the battle
fields of France, fighting for the free
dom of the world. We are indeed
sorry to learn of the death of Brother
Wilcox and may say that his repre-
sents the first member of our organ
ization to meet his death on the bat
tIefieIds. We will make mention of
this in the coming Journal, as 1 am
sure our members will be interested.
1t is furthermore source OF pride
to learn that Brother Wilcox was
mentioned for bravery, and am sure
this is also of pride to the members
of No. 26S. AS we have hundreds OF
members now in the service, we an
ticipate we may have the misfortune
| of losing some of them.

Danish PARLIAMENT
Seats WON BY WOMEN
Five Elected to Upper House and
Four to Lower.

The recent election by the Danish
people of nine women to the national
parliament of Denmark is causing
great satisfaction to the suffrage
workers of this country, according to
statement made yesterday by Mrs.
Carrie Chapman Gait. president of the
International Suffrage Alliance.
AT the recent elections in Denmark
for the first time in the history of the
country, hve women were elected to
the upper house of the parliament
and four TO the lower house. Although
this is the first time that women have
been elected to the parliament, they
have possessed the privileges of the
franchise for more than ten years.
In 1907 Denmark gave to its
women the right to vote for and
serve on boards of public charity.
In 1908 it gave the municipal fran
chise to tax-paying women, and to
married women whose husbands
paid taxes. And in 1915 it removed
the tax qualification and gave its
women universal suffrage.
In 1909, 127 women were serving
~ the town councils of Denmark,
md seven on the council of Copen-
hagen. They have held office as
police. officers and as municipal
trCasIrers. BY the recent elections
they have been given the highest /
responsibility the country has to Of
fer. representation in the National
