Surgeons Were POwerless

covery, which came to the aid
Of the Allied war hospitals

fections, such as had never
been dreamed of, ragged I'M
checked.
1t is a well-known fact that med
ical science had nothing when war
was declared that would effectively
destroy established infection. All
the known antiseptics, including
carbolic acid. bichloride of mer-
curry, silver nitrate. iodine and a
host of mild solutions. were found
to be inefficient. inadequate and
wholly undcpendablc.
! Limited to these pitifully il
effective antiseptics, French and
English surgeons attempted to
meet the infection produced by mod
err gunfire: but hiSh-powered bull

Il myriad particles of germ laden
| dirt deep into the shocking wounds
which they produced.
The Doilu held at the Marine:
held again at Verdun. The English
and Canadians stood fast at Ypres,
but their surgeons and nurses were
being beaten by a more insidious
foe than German shock troops. In
fiction, unbelievable infection, was
beating them. A man wounded on
Saturday would be mass of cor

within the week.

 To the much-discussed matter of whether to paint or not to paint, or to fly to powders that we know not of, comes comment from a woman revered and beloved by millions of her own sex-Commander Evanse- line Booth, of the Salvation Army. Every woman will not agree with her, but all will listen,
 Any woman,'' she declares, "who tries to add the bloom of youth to her cheeks artificiaIIy is trying to fool the world.

 ''The enormous sale of cosmetics in this country is a disgrace. If the young women would take the money they spend on paint and powder and use it to feed the starving children of the world they would need no artifice to make themselves attrac- tive.'
 In spite of the fact that many worthy women do use artificial aids to appearance, there is truth in Com mander Booths suggestion that ser vice to others brings beauty It sure ly gives a fine spiritual glow to her own countenance.
