HEALING; ART OF OLD CHINESE
Abundant Proof That They Were Fa.
miliar With Anssthesia Many
Thousands o. Years AGO.

The artificial induction Of painless
ness by narcotic draughts was tradi-
tionally known In ancient times, writes
DR.. Charles Balance in the London
Lancet.
The Chinese were acquainted with
general anesthesia thousands Of
years ago. 1t Is related Of Surgeon
Hoathe In the Third century A. d. that
he performed amputation, trephining
and other major operations by its aid.
Doctor Browne relates two cases Of
anesthesia taken from Persian
manuscript. The first story concerns
Aristotle and an Indian surgeon named
Sarnab. An earwig had entered the
patients ear and attached itself to
the brain. Aristotle gave the patient
the drug so that he became uncOn-
scious while Sarnab trephined the
skull. This was excellent treatment.
1t is now well known that living for
eign bodies may produce Otitis and
meningitis. In the second case the Op-
erution was Caesarian section.

REMEDY AGAINST LAWN ANTS
EntomoIoaIsts Recommend DrenehIna
Nests With Boiling Water
or Using Kerosene.

To get rid Of lawn ants entomolo-
gists of the United States Department
Of Agriculture suggest drenching the
nests with boiling water or pouring In
a small quantity of kerosene oil. Sim
ilar treatment may be applied to nests
between or beneath paving stones.
Spraying the lawn with kerosene
emulsion or with very strong soap
wash is also recommended. For large
ant nests disulphid of carbon injected
into the nest by means Of an oil can
or small syringe is recommended to
kill the ants. The fumes Of disulphid
of carbon have a very disagreeble
odor and are infammable, but they
are not Injurious to higher animals In
the open air.

MOTHER AND THE STYLES
Copyright is2a. By Edgar A. Guest.

Dresses high and dresses low,
Fashion bids them come and goi
Tresses bobbed and tresses long,
Fashion sways the moving throng;
What was new becomes the old,
Thus this changing life is told.
First we view II with a smile,
Then adopt the latest style
But with all the passing days,
Mothers never change their ways.
Cav Of heart and bright Of face,
Fashion seems TO rule the place.
With the swinging Of the clock
Youth gives age another shock,
Flauntng into public view
Something Age would never do,
Laughing at us when we preach,
Scornfu of us when we teach
But with all Of Fashions wiles,
Mothers never change their styles.
Motherhood's no tickle thing,
To be changed each fall and spring;
AS IL was so IL remains,
Spite of all its cares and pains.
Joy may call and pleasure lure,
But a mothers love is pure,
And the baby sings to rest,
Pilowed on her lovely breast
Closing little drowsy eyes
To the softest lulabes.
Mothers worry night and day
When their children are away;
Mothers grieve when they are Ill,
Always have and always will.
They would shield you with their care
Every day and every where,
And they're happy through and through
AT the slightest smile from you
To the ending of their days
Mothers never change their ways.

there is a smashing climax that
even when described as thrilling is
not given full justice.
It is full Of TOUCHES which awaken
sympathy. It is a completely
equipped melodrama.
Norma Talmadge is quite at her
best as the heroine This lovely ac-
tress is greatly responsible for the
clever screen version of the play.
She handles the role of the woman

erness that go kand-in-hand with
genius only. Besides she looks good
at all times and her costumes are of
the milady's best tastes.
Lew Cody. as the villainous but
not unlikeable Frank Devereaux,
gives a smooth performance. Charles
Richman, as Lafe Regan, is sim
cere and reserved and a good con-
trast to the villain.
The plot OF the play is too in
tricate and involved to permit a de-
tailed synopsis. Let it suffice to say
the story concerns a battle OF wits
between woman and an un-
scrupulous man-and that it is as
clever a battle as ever was staged.
