"The natives Of Alaska had in their
habits Of life n marked handicap in

many still live-in wooden houses
partly below the ground level. These
had their single doors always closed,
and were without windows. There
was one opening in the roof, out of
which the smoke from Il central fire
was supposed to find its way. AS

Doctor Ready to Help.

Certainly" the doctor replied.
Without a moments hesitation
there was no time TO send for instru-
ments on the floor above-the surgeon
pulled his penknife from his pocket
and slit the throat Of the dying man.
The nurse came running back with a
tube, which the doctor inserted In the
mans throat, and held the side of the
incision together with blood-stained fin
gers. Slowly color returned to the
cheeks and the pulse began to beat
freely.
Doctor Danna turned to the son, who
had watched the unusual operation,
and said, He'll live"
After the organs began to function
normally the tube was removed and
the incision stitched.
Merchant Is Sufferer.
The operation had taken less than
one minute; longer probably would
have meant death, the surgeon as
serted. 1t was performed on II. Rou-
gelot, a New Orleans dry goods mer-
chant.
Mr.. Rougelot complained Of stran-
gulation earlier In the day. Simple
remedies had no effect, and he was put
into an automobile by his son and
rushed to the hospital. He became
suddenly worse and before the insti-
tuition was reached he had ceased to
breathe and his pulse had stopped, the
son said.
Similar operations upon the throat,
known as ~tracheotomy, have been per.
formed many times by Doctor Danna.
