New Method Of Applying
ChIoroform Obviates the

A new method of administering
chloroform has been brought out In

Into the lungs through tube running
into the windpipe. The tube method
has already been employed in several
hundred cases and with great Sue
cess. Besides being very useful for
operations TO be performed on the head
and neck. 1t is of great interest be-
cause 1t never produces the nausea
which Is almost always the result of
applications Of chloroform in the or
binary fashion, and thus the patient Is
relieved of cause of suffering The
effects of the new method will serve to
explain the reason why chloroform APP
plications always produced nausea
when operating by the former method
Tor IT appears evident that the nausea
was caused by part of the chloro-
form vapors being absorbed by the
esophagus and the stomach. OF course
this is not necessary, for the whole
OF the vapors should go to the lungs
and this result is now reached by the
new method. 1t, therefore, marks quite
progress in the right direction.

OSTRICH PLUMES IN FASHION
African Bird Once More Comes Into
His Own-How Hats Are Being
Decorated.

Ostrich feathers are coming into
fashion as fast as spring weather.
One thinks of them more in relation
to winter than summer. but the MILL
ners do not allow their Inspirations to
be hampered by the calendar.
The long, heavy plume is used even
on straw hats, but the majority of
milliners prefer to make what they
call fancies. They use wheels and
cockades and buckles of ostrich flues.
They shred the long feather and use
the fringe over the brims of hats, or
they make a shower of it, like drip
ping water, over the crowns. What
ever they do, one feels the power Of
the African bird once more. He has
come into his own.
There has been an effort to replace
the plumes by roses, but as far as the
season has gone the flowers are more
talked about than seen.
