People around here read with sur.
prise of damage by frost as near by
as Marion county. We have heard
OF no frost being seen in this section
nor are any effects of frost visible.
In Marion, however, it is estimated
that over half the melon, cantaloupe
and cucumber plants were killed. and
at least a fifth Of the beans. Winter
seems to be lingering in the lap OF
spring with considerable tenacity up
North, and returning tourists will
likely get a cold welcome to their

AS a relief to such misery, the sur

mouths of a number of men in *. "
IL is a continuance of metallic compo-
sition called "maxillor," which props
the mouth open an inch or less and
holds IL so. This is not so uncom-

ton maintained is only that into which
the mouth drops naturally when
asleep. The "open-bite" permits drain

Keeping the jaws from becoming

completed and the CRAFTS grown to-
sether. the open-bite splint is removed
and the necessary plate or bridge

One lad now in *" who was two
miles north Of the Marine when wound

four or five weeks" This youth didn't
know he was hurt" until he had gone

after the original injury. Indeed. the
surgical work is not begun until the
wound has healed and all danger of
infection is gone. Eight or ten days
might be sufficient for any one Of the

How can toe be brought up TO the

loose from the foot, and the toe-on-

to the face and fastened on as a nose.

shaped into separate nostrils and all.

by cancerous affection, or by other

treating the men from the trenches.
decorations and broken bones were
not all; large areas of skin and tissue
had been destroyed. There was so
vastly much to be made right

ouite naturally, that their work would
be near the front lines, so as to mend
uu the faces as quickly as possible att

the case. 1t was not possible, any
where near the fighting, TO give more

MANY of the injured men, before the
work of restoring their faces could be
fairly started, were Obliged to be taken
clear back to hospitals in England.
Some of these poor men would be con-
