When a cut or wound is severe
enough to require medical attention
much can be accomplished before
the arrival Of a physician.
The few moments Immediately
following an accident are Of the ut
most importance. 1t is during these
first few moments that infection is
apt to establish itself. Once estab-
lished, complications follow which
may lead to amputation or death.
Infection is nothing more norless
than the growth Of germ-life in the
wound. 70 prevent it the wound
must be put in an aseptic condition
which means, literally, free from
germs. When the doctor arrives and
finds thatthewound has been placed
in an aseptic condition, he knows
that his work is already more than
half done.
Best First Aid Treatment :
First battle the wound thoroughly in
tepid water to which little Zonite
has been added to remove any par
ticles Of dirt that may be present.
Next flood the wound with Zonite
diluted with an equal amount Of
water. Now place pad Of clean alb
sorbent cotton over the wound, SCI
curing it with a bandage. Should
there be no absorbent cotton at hand

DAMARISCOTTA, Maine. December
26.-The burning of John Shows
body yesterday in the home Of three
OF the Ave persons whom he shot and
killed last Saturday remained a mys-
terry today so far as the identity of
those who participated in the affair
was concerned
The county authorities after put
ting back in the lonely farm grave
the charred bones taken from the
ruins of the cottage in Jefferson were
noncommittal as to whether they
would pursue an active inquiry to
determine who was responsible.
Barred from the village cemetery,
SHOWS body had been buried on the
farm adjoining the cottage where his
wife, her aunt and her grandmother
had lived, and where he killed them
and himself after driving from
Whitefleld, few miles away, where
he had shot the wife and son of Dep
uty Sheriff Jewett.
Long before daylight yesterday
the casket was dug up, the cover
pried off and the body taken to the
cottage. Apparently kerosene was
sprfnkled about and the house was
set afre. 1t was several hours later
that the authorities were notified

Last fall hunting party quizzed ro by, an old White river Indian as to the number of sheep he had killed. He Said, Kill maybe two every week Toby is old, he doesn't know just how old; but "mayb sixty years" he guessed Taking this as his age, members of che party figured out that he had killed for himself at least fourteen hundred ani malls, or 459,2OOOO worth. For his family and dogs he had killed at least ten times that many, or $4 ,295, ,OOO,JO worth
 There are about eighty Indians in the White river region who do noth ing but hunt. This is but small part of the vast interior turnout which are scores of groups of Indians who live in the same way. This does not include those who are cared for at the missions It would be practically impossible to protect game in the interior by having game wardens at every settlement. Bu very feasible plan has been sugses- ted by a sportsman who has the welfare of Alaska at heart. This will be discuss ed next week.

physicians who receive little pay, and
that the service is sculpably inadequate

that the old ones and many of the

To begin with, / entered the Indian
service some nineteen years ago-be-
ing a ''boneheadp and "blngler," and

what avail has it all been? In the
eyes of this wise one" and the other
wise ones of his kind, all these years
have been worse than wasted, and the
heads of the Indian bureau, who di-
rected this and all the work Of the
Indian service were silly incompe-
tentsl IF only he and they had dl-
rected and had charge of the eduea-
ton and care of the Indian, it would
have been a wonderful success in
stead Of dismal failurel
Reverting again to my experience
with Indians, will say that out of over
IS years spent in the service, | spent
six wears amongst the Hopis in the
day schools on the reservation, and
one year in boarding school, in which
there. were both adult Hopi employees,
and a large number of Hopi children,

OF tribes.

they should throw away all the things
that have meant so much for so long
