SPHACNUM MOSS HEALS WOUNDS

In Scotland and Ireland sphagnum
turtles for the same purposes as to-
day, and 1t was used by army sur
geons in the Napoleonic the Franco
Prussian and the Russo-Japanese
wars.
In this country There were several
reasons why it did not come into gen.
eral use, the chief of which was be-
cause our army surgeons, accustomed
to the use of absorbent cotton and
still having plenty of this on hand.
hesitated about using a substitute.
Sphagnum moss is far superior to cot.
quality. cheapness of manufacture and
its far superior absorbent qualities.
Sphagnum moss is a small low
plant, commonly pale green when wet
and almost white when dry, although
1t may be any shade from bright red
and pink to russell green and dark
brown or almost black. The sphag-
mum most adaptable for surgical use
is called sphagnum papillosum, and it's
absorbent quality is due to Il peculiar
pore structure in its leaves.
In general sphagnum grows in wet
places and attains its best develop
ment in cool. humid regions. such as
Newfoundland, Nova Scotia and New
Brunswick. Vancouver IslN4J and
western Washington, although 1t is
known to grow as far south as New
Jersey. In boys the sphagnum grows
most luxuriantly, especially in the
boys where cranberries may be found.
This surgical moss is pulled up bod
ily. the moisture squeezed out of ii
and any coarse plants that may be
nresent removed, and then washed.
Next the moss is air dried and then
separated into two or more grades
In making the surgical dressings Of
this material first a layer of cheap
non-absorbent cotton the size of the
dressing is laid down. Over this is

Meats in Storage"

Every working day of the year
100000 pounds of meat are required
to supply home and export needs-and
only 10 per cent of. this is exported.
These facts must be kept in mind
when considering the u. S. Bureau of
Markets report that on June ] 1919,
there were 1,348OOO.OOO pounds of
meats in cold storage IF the meat in
storage was placed on the market it
would only be 20 days supply.
This meat is not artihcially withheld
from trade channels to maintain or
advance prices.
Meats in storage consist Of
o5 per cent (arproxinlate) hams bacon, ETC..
in process of curing 1t takes 80 to 90
days in pickle salt to complete the
process.
10 per cent is frozen pork that is to be cured
later in the year.
s per cent is lard. This is only four-6ttns
of pound per capita, and much of it will
have to 60 to supply European needs.
1o per cent is frozen beef and lamb part of
which is owned by the Government and
intended chiefly for overseas ship
ment. If this all diverted to domes-
tic trade channels, it would be only
1H2 lbs. per capita-a days supply.
1909
From this it will be seen that meats
in storage represent merely un-
finish ed goods in process of curing and
theworking supply necessary to assure
the consumer steady flow of finished
product

American Professor Taught Its
Use TO Armies Fighting
in Europe.
ADOPTED BY THE RED CROSS
Is Far Superior in Many Ways to Alb
sorbent Cotton as a Dressing
Used for Centuries in Scot
land and Ireland.

New Haven.-In an interview with
George E. Nichols, professor os bot
any in the Sheffield Scientific school
of Yale university. new facts were
brought out concerning the use of
moss in surgical dressings during the
war. Prof. Nichols was botanical adj
wiser for the American Red Cross and
did more than any other individual
to introduce the use of sphagnum moss
into the American medical profession
for surgical purposes.
In Europe this moss has been used
for many years in surgery, but new
er before in this country. In Connecti-
cut alone there are twenty-five differ
ent kinds of sphagnum and on the
North American continent there are
at least forty OF these forty only
two or three are actually used.
Adopted by Red Cross.
During the war Or. Nichols made
extensive studies of various regions
where sphagnum is found and ex-
planned methods of collecting and of
making It into dressings, and in
March, 1918. the American Red Cross
officially adopted this moss. Since that
date our Red Cross mas turned out
more than a half rnilhon sphagnum
dressings for the Italian army and
something over 10000 a month for tho
American war hospital In Sertem-
Der. 1915. the British war ofiice for
mally accepted sphagnum moss dress
ingS and a year later England was
turning out 10000 a month and be-
fore the close of the war almost a
million. The Canadian Red Cross
averaged 100000 of these dressings
per month

the thlrsting men.
He carried munitions up TO the
front line and rations, too. In short,
there was not a deed which would
help his fellow fighters, with the ex-
ception of firing gun, that Stier-
helm did not perform; s1d always
cheerfully and with superhuman
courage. So say his fellows one and
all.
"It's this way" said .stierhelm.
''There is no man that is man who
would desert his fellows when they
are in trouble So of course I helped
them. ] saw a good many OF my
friends dropping around me. dead and

Again. his companions found him
pulling strenuously at a log half
buried In the trench. An ordinary
man is exposed from the chest up
when he stands erect in trench. and
Stierheim looms far above the ordi-
nary man.
"Hey!" shouted his friends, "get
away from there! You'll be shot -
mo" he replied. this log will make
peach of support for the dug

SO several of the boys helped him
pull the log out. and because of
enemy machine gun fire it took them
more than two hours to carry the log
so yards.
"And believe me, boys, that was

Many times Stierheim could easily
have escaped, but he did not attempt
1t because it would get his guard in
trouble. Often he would go through
crowds calling out the name of the
man guarding him in order that they
could both go back to the guardhouse
