TURK WORLDS OLDEST MANI
British Naval off'ess Claims Distino-

The distinction claimed by John
Shell Of Tennessee, who is said to be
one hundred and thirty-one, that
he is the worlds oldest man, is dis
puted by Major Road of the British
navy, late deputy naval store officer
at Constantinople, who puts forward
tn. claim Of Zorro, a Turkish la
borer employed by him in the Con-
stantinople depot The major, now
|. in London, said,
@This man claims to be one hun

LATEST IN PAINLESS SURGERY
Recent Discovery Enables Operation
20 Be Performed Without Rem
derin9 the Patient Unconscious

For many years, In fact, ever since
anesthetics were brought into gen
eral use, one of the aims of surgical
scientists has been the discovery OF
some method of operating painlesslJ
without rendering the petient un-
conscious by inhalations of ether or
chloroform- According to the Lon
don Times, this desideratum is now
an accomplished fact, . system based
on the use of phenol having been
successfully employed BY the sur
geons at the chief military hospitals
in Milan for some thousands of OPP
erations, among which were over 800
on the lungs, performed BY Professor
Bruschi Of Como. The proposed hne
of incision is marked with phenol
{carboic acid) by dipping . steril-
lied scalpel into this liquid, and
using the back of the point Of the
scalpel as 4 marker. After the lapse
of few seconds, the scalpel is again
dipped into the phenol. and the tbs
sues are cut with . SLOW and gentle
up-and-down movement similar to
that used in saving. What happens
is that film of phenol is formed on
fhe hla1e when II ia immersed. and
this anesthetizes the tissues as they
are cut Frequent clippings are nee
essary to maintain the film, which is
rubbed off by contact With the tissues
or washed away by blood.

WARTIME PROFITS.

IF sone statistician should set down
for vs. IN figures the amount of profit
which Was made during the war on sup
plies of all kinds we would be astounded
by the showing Of how much has gone
into the purses OF non-combatants, and
when we view the matter In this light we
see that while the soldier fights for the
common defense, or to maintain . prfn-
ciple or ideal, he leaves at hoIne fellow
citizens in almost pcace-time security to
enrich themselves out of the country's
necessities. Would it be moro than fair
to have practically all wartime profit, by
whomoever acquired, distributed among
thNAe ttAt bear the brunt Of battle and
among their dependents If they never
come home?
by the government on peaee-time mar
gin Of profit yield SIS, ODO 600 as the share
Of Canada, the fact affords q basis on
which to estimate the amount made by
private corporations that operated without
restriction As to profit and whose trans
actions constituted SO great portion
OF the prOdgjous total cost
How much less would the bonded in

A woman's not dressed till she powders
her nose
You newer can ten what . woman win say,
She's law TO herself every hour OF the day.
1t keeps a man guessing to know what to
do
And mostly he's wrong when bis guessing
is through;
But this you can bet on, whcrcv.r be eoes
She'll find some occasion TO powder her
I've studied the Sex for a number Of years,
I've watched her in laughter and seen her
IN tears;
On her ways and her whim I have
pondered a lot,
To find what viii please hez and just
what will not;
But al that I've learned from the start to
the close
Is that sooner or later she'll powder hcx
nose.
At church or q bah game, q dance or .
show,
There's one thing about her I know that
/ know
At weddings or funerals, dinners of taste.
You can bet that her hand Will dive into
her waist,
And every few minutes she'll strike up a
pose,
And the whole world must wait till she
powders her nose.
