,Physician Performs Major
 ODerntiOH ILUO Weeks After Rena0Uing His OzUn Appendix

operation, in substance. as follows:
 Like the riddle of Columbus egg, the operation proved a simple affair after being tried out. The time oc- cupied was about thirty minutes from the comm encement sof the inciSion until the completion of the operation, or removal of the appendix. This time could have been conSidera bly, shortened if Dr. Kane had apprised me and our staff in advance in odrer that each assistant might have known what individual role was to be al- lotted to him in the novel undertak- ing.
 After the skin had received its final preparation he mapped out with an applicator dipped in iodine a line upon the surface to indicate clearly the place and direction in which he proposed to cut. This was about three and. a half inches. He next be- numbed the skin with an anaesthetic mixture which he injected with a hy- podermic needle, forcing it in several places down into the abdominal wall. Then Dr. Kane took up a razor, for he prefers this instrument to a seal pei for making long and deep incl the covering of the bowels-the peri toneum. This he sliced through with a. small knife and scissors.
 After reaching the bowels and To- eating the appendix Dr. Kane directed me to draw it we'll up out of the wound and hold it there with a pair of froceps. His appendix was in famed and swollen and contained two large concretions. Naturally, it's owner was highly delighted, for he had ocular proof of the necessity for removing the organ.
 ''Dr. Kane then chose the place preferred by him for tying off the blood vessels which supply circulation to the appendix and passing a needle through between these and the ap- pendiX made sure of no danger from hemorrhage by firm legation. Next he\ took up the scissors and cut off the appendix and with an especial thread and needle device of his own inverted or turned nthe stump safe ly out of danger from contaminating the wound.

LONDON ELITE REALLY MUST
 PAY BILLS

London-Becky Sharp, and all of of her i1k, havevbeen ruled out of the
 West End. They haven't chance any more of living on their wits and by the lavish credit which, of yore, radesmen extended as a matter of course, to all of the socially elect, or to those that appeared to have been elected.
 Ffguratively speaking, ''spot cash" is the rule Not spot cash exactly as we understand it in merica, but at least monthly settlements and prompt payment of bills.
 England of old. was perhaps the
 worlds greatest city for longtime | credit. Really, one never even con l sidered paying for thing on pur-
 chase. It would be indelicate in | "tradesman" to suggest such a thing, or to be over-fast about sending his account. Some sent quarterly bills, with slight expectation of payment the first once or twice they circulatized | thei customers. Others rendered ac-
 counts every six months or a year. | They worried not; they obtained one to two years credit from their | wholesalers.
 In the best circles money wasn't discussed. It just wasn't done. l Today the city, off across London

 payable fortnightly. And must be paid. Hotels insist on weekly settle
 ments instead of quarterly, and there 1 are no days or weeks, or months of
 grace, unless the socially elect wish | to face a threatened wa1kout. The social leaders of the Victorian age who shuddered at the introduc- | ton of the subjects of surgical oper- ations and ailments into the high
 caste of recognized dinner subjects, if any are left, are getting a sharper shock. Money, that subject that for
 years was as socially undiscussab1e as ones honor, is the strongest motif of the dinner-hour chatter today. Society openly admits that it moves
 by what it can or cannot afford.
 The glittering realm of the West End
 is now become ready money May

Kane, Pa--Two weeks from the time pr. Evan ONeil1 Kane, of this city, amazed the medical profession by removing his own appendix he re- turned to the operating room and performed lengthy major opera ton. His rapid recovery attests his remarkable vitality. Details of the sel-performed operation have been learned since the patient has left the sick room and disclose the fact that his work was even more wonderful than was at first reported
 .HThe experiment was worth while. fully worth while" declared Dr. Kane today, but declined to make any fur ther statement, referring the ques- tioner to his colleague and surgical assistant, Dr. D. E. Vogan- What ever his judgment prompts him to give out will be satisfactory to me- said Dr. Kane
 Dr. Vogan outlined the points gained through the operation as fol- lows:
 First. ease with which local opera ton could be done
 Second, can be done without any severe pain
 Third, pain more due to traction and rough handling of parts than to incision.
 Fourth, local anaesthesia must be used in peritoneum after incision had been made through skin and mus cles, as this is the most sensitive area
 Fifth, any surgeon not too obese with a fair degree of skill could do such an operation on themselves.
 The operation is even more amaz- ing when it is stated that in addition to making the incision and removing the appendix Dr. Kane did the larger part of the sewing in closing the wound His brother, Dr. Tom Kane. commenced the work of closing the wound and had taken but a few stitches when the patient took the needle from his hand and began to sew as unconcerned as though he were splicing a belt.
 Dr. vogan gave the details of the

 Virgil Decker, who it is said was last seen with Lovett a few hours be- fore the body was found murdered. and who bears a marked resemblance to him, was arrested in Marion, Ind, at the time the inquest was being held.

'"The points of peculiar interest in Dr. Kane and the surgeon present were brought out by him and en- phasized as the work progressed. These were chiefly relative to the To- cations of pain during inciSional man ipulation of the viScera. The sur geon- patient verified several claims already made by surgeons and phy- ness of the parts in and about the field of operation. as also the degree and nature of pain pertaining to each and places to which their Iuanipula- tion transferred the distressing senSa- ton.
 "Dr. Kane has been on his feet more or less every day since the op- eration and fourteen days after it was in his operating room and performing there a serious and lengthy major op- eration. He has entirely recovered, the wound having united firmly with out separation"
