THIS is a story of how mans
life was saved with tallow
candle and a quill from a goose.
Surgeons of New Orleans, La.
recently were asked by writer
10 give their ideas on what they
considered the greatest opera
tions. The most remarkable story
was submitted by DR.. Rudolph
Matas, of Tulane University,
president of the American College
of Surgeons and who recently was
awarded the Bigelow medal for
distinguished surgical work.

river from New Orleans" DR..

Dry Cream for Candies

To prevent the drying out OF
cream candies confectioners usu-
ally "crystallize" them. This is ac-
complished by dissolving sugar in
water, then boiling until the hot
strip registers about 33.5 degrees
on a Baume saccharometer this
strip is allowed to stand in mod
erately warm place for about "a
hours, when the strip is drained
off and the candies allowed to dry.
1t will be found that thin skin
of crystals has been formed on the
creams, and this crystalline coat
ing is very efficacious in retarding
the drying out of cream candies.

Month Before Date for

No more tickets are available for
the final meeting of the fourth ma
tional oratorical contest to be held in

The last seats for the public were
distributed early this morning, only
two days after it was announced in

while in other years it was possible
to obtain seats a week before the

Tickets for the contesting school
bodies are being reserved, but even
these blocks have been scaled down
in the face of the public demand. At
other annual contests, small groups
of seats have been made available a
day or two before the finals date,

will be placed at the disposal of the
public this year. If such a surplus

In the meantime-only one week re-
