NURMI GREATEST

assertion that the Fins are great ath-

Nurmi, marvel of runners at the

first effort he humbled little Joie Ray

cient for any athlete, for Ray was
Americas best bet at that distance
and had trod the board tracks for
dozen years.
Paavo gained and proved equal to

The subject of tomorrow after
Moons Health Talk at the Sisters
Hospital will be "Anaesthesia," the
speaker being DR.. P. S. Merrill. This
should be one Of the most interesting
of the whole series for this topic fur
nishes dramatic story in the history
of Medical Science. We are all apt
to take anaesthesia for granted now
adays and little realize how really
new 1t is. Prior to the discovery Of
ether in 1916 surgery could only be
undertaken with the greatest Of suf-
fering on the pair of the patient. Nat
urally this handicapped the progress
of surgery and major operating was
only resorted to in extreme cases. The
greatly reduced mortality of recent
days may be largely traced to the de-
velopment of anaesthetics.
And yet the average person while
he may talk glibly about taking ether,
knows little or nothing concerning IT.
1t is enough that he Is spared the
pain and suffering incident to some
necessary operation. What happens
to him when he takes an ether or
some one of the newer anaesthetics is

Even Pros Proud
When Break Mark
OF 100 on II Holes

Chicago, Jan. ID AP) Break
ing 100 is as much the goal for the
greatest of the experts as is for the
yeriest duffer at the game. and the
star finds his objective just as diff
ticult to attain. The difference lies
in the fact that the champion wants
to cover u holes in 100 while the
garden variety of linksman desires
only to score that number of ST. okes
for Is holes.
How much more difficult for ex
pert's goal is of attainment, is
shown by the fact that only in a
few instances and under favorable
circumstances has star performer
totalled 100 for ~ holes.

cautions are necessary previous to an
anaesthetic. and the risks that may
be incident to 1t. 1t has been said
that the World is divided into two
classes; those who have had an an
aesthetic and those who have not, as
yet. So everybody should have an
interest in the subject.
The past few years have seen a
great development in this field. Many
new forms of anaesthesia have been
originated, making for the increased
safety and comfort of the patient.
These should be better understood by
the public. DR.. Merrill, who has de-
