SURGERY IS AN ANCIENT SCIENCE

The manuscript also contains "Tha
Incarnation of Expelling the Wind OF
the Year of Pest" This shows the
widely prevalent notion which has
persisted to the present day that the
winds carry malignant plaques. The
last two parts Of the papyrus are
written in very different handwrit'
ing from the front page.
The columns in front treat OF the
head, the mouth. the neck and the
spine. here the papyrus stops, but 1t Is
evident that the remainder treated the
lower body.
The first group Of ten cases de-
scribed treat of wounds Of the head, OF
which seven are knife and sword
wounds. The surgeon is instructed
how to probe the wound and In case
of a severe knife wound told, You
should have made for him a wooden
brace padded with linen (and have)
the head fastened to it. His treat
ment should be sitting, placed between
two supports of brick, until you know
whether he is making any progress.
Case deals with "a fracture OF the
skull under the skin" The surgeon IL
told to operate, to open at the point OF
confusion, and ito elevate the depresf
sion outward" 1t is possible trephin1
ing is involved here; If so 1t Is thaf
earliest mention of 1t in history.

lation Of day laborers who practically
are a charge on the state.
Plans Of Reclamation.
The governments policy Of public
works is a sound one in that the
money spent constitutes an invest
ment which in future years will more
than pay for itself. Instead of pro-
viding "busy work" the ministry is
carrying out far-sighted scheme for
the transformation Of malarial marsh
lands into fertile territory. Since
1860 the government has obtained
more than 339,OOO.OOO lire in plus
value from its reclaimed lands. For
this work the government spent 57,-
7S3,31O lire for reclaiming 1874, 4,O27
acres, and private consortiums spent
an equal amount, but recovered 394,-
OPT acres. This year the government
has appropriated 100000 lire for
reclamation of land in eight provinces
and work began in March.
Other projects of the government
are equally constructive. Roads and
railways are being built in Sicily and
Calabria, and in the latter province

Later on the usual thirty days an

governpent workers was utilized to
drive dull care away.
Now, however, under rigid econ

ment officials or employees Of any

Bureau chiefs are held responsible
strictly for abuses Of the free travel
privilege. It Is effecting saving to
the treasury of many millions Of dol
lars annually.

Rome.-In spite of the low state OF
national finance Italy is attempting to
carry out a broad program for the
relief of war veterans and the unem-
ployed by means Of lanG reclamation
and other public works.
Italy deals with it's problem OF war
veterans through the Opera Nazionale
del Combattenti, organized in Decem-
ber, 1917, with an initial capital OF
3OO,OOO,OOO lire, of which the govern
ment contributed 25O,OOO0OO. The
opera has a social section for voca-
tional training and placing. hnaDclal
section for providing credit to indi-
vidual soldiers or cooperative groups
and an agricultural section, which
concentrates on land reclamation.
T.. Relief for Unemployed.
The general unemployment problem
continues to be taken seriously by the
government, although there is no fear
now of revolutionary outbreaks as the
result of the lack Of work. In the last
few weeks the number of unemployed
has decreased slightly, but there are
still more than half million men out
of work. Arrangements are almost
completed for starting the public
works authorized last August for the
relief Of the situation, but at the
moment the apportioning of funds and
the increase of the amount of work to
be undertaken is occupying the cham
Der Of deputies. The public works
appropriation is the parliamentary
pork barrel IT the country.
Signor Riccio, minister of public
works, Is attempting to hold the bal
ance between the deputies competing
for apportionments and to protect the
national budget from being swamped
with more projects than it can stand.
He stated in the chamber the other
day that in the first three months OF
this year there has already been paid
out for labor on public works 1900
600. 600 lire, as against 25S,0O0,OOO in
the whole year of 1914. He added
thet although the minister OF finance
had authorized the expenditure OF
5000, 100000 more for public labor
this year, he did not see where the
money was coming from.
The grave depression In the metal
lurgical districts Of Milan and Turin
is threatening to throw more men or
the streets, and as usual the condi
ton of unemployment in the province
Of Emilia Is widespread.
The situation in Emilia Is typical o.
the sort of problem Italian state Off
cials have to face. For the last q
years the province has been greatly
oyerpopulated, but the surplus citi

cording to DIR. James n. Breasted OF
the University of Chicago. An IN
cantation of Transforming an Old Man

in the Edwin Smith papyrus, the
Egyptian document which Doctor
Breasted has declared contains un-
paralleled evidence Of advanced
knowledge and scientific spirit On the
part of Egyptian physicians OF 1sOO b.
c. or earlier.
The incarnation, on the contrary, ne
said, is characterized by reliance on
hocus-pocus. Doctor Breasteds theory
is that an extraordinary book on sur.
gerry and external medicine fell into
the hands of quack who was more
interested in charms for making old
men young, and who had the incongru-
GUS texts combined in the same roll.
Thus in the papyrus magical formulae

FINS, FURS AND FEATHERS

Mrs. Leila Eastman has handsome
Angora cat. Neighbors have a canary
bird, and the cat has been seen watch
ing the tiny songster with interest, lis
tening to its concerts. Mrs. Eastm an
has phonograph. The other day she
selected whistling record and took it
home. The whistling concert artist
initiates canary bird at one point in
the number. Mrs. Eastman put the
record on the machine and went into
another room. She was startled by
the cessation of the whistling concert,
crunching sounds and the screech of
startled cat.
Investigation showed the Angora
kitten badly mixed with the revolving
disc. Curious to find the hidden canary
it had climbed on the phonograph and
tampered with the mechanism.
H. T. Regnell expressed belief Mon
day that he had a record large hen egg
for the season. The enormous product
from the orchardist's poultry yard is
shaped like a modern dirigible balloon.
1t measures "a inches in circumference
around the middle. and 81 inches
around the ends. 1t weighs 6a ounces.
The egg was laid by three-year old
single comb black Minorca hen.
The egg was displayed at the Book
and Art Store.
