Progress in Minor Surgery.

A policy or practice that has been
imposed upon me by years of experience
is this: I must never send anybody
bad news. Rather than do so I'll ignore
q question or tell a lie--that is, evade
an honest answer by saying do no:
know or I am unable to form an opin-
ion. Coupled with this policy. or rather
covered by it, is the determination to
give no morbid information, or at least
to give none promiscuously. OF course
this policy is flexible one and it never
stands in the way when believe l can
do any good by sending bad news or by
furnishing morbid information. How
ever, am sole judge about that
Here is a communication from an
anxious mother, and it affords me an
opportunity to publish some good news
or at least to give some information
which should be good news to this par
ticular mother and to many who share
her ideas She writes:
"a week ago Saturday my little girl
years old. was hit with a nacnlne
and broke her leg and smashed her
face. The doctor had to put her leg IN
a plaster of paris cast, and Monday ne
came and took it out Of the cast ana
examined it and squeezed it and pulled
IL and put it back in the cast. Satur-
day morning he came and did the same
thing. What I would like to know IS
whether that is proper treatment, ]
always thought the leg had to be lett
In the cast once it was put in till it was
ali healed. Please let me know as soon
as possible, because he said he would
come back later in the week and repeat
this treatment
1t may have been the practice in o.d
time to put a broken leg in splints OF
A cast and leave it undisturbed Tor sew
eral weeks. The old-time doctors
fancied that the main purpose OF splintS
or plaster cast was to provide suosti-
tute rightly to take the place OF tne
broken bone. Modern surgery, hoWeVer

When May OWrer Eject Customer
From Store?
BY THE COUNSELLOR.

After Mr.. Booth had purchased
going business he discovered that tie
store was the lettering place of an un-
desirable group of loungers Desiring to
change the policy of the previous owner
and raise the tone Of the business,
Booth requested the undesirables to
stay away from the store.
johnson, one of them, was obstinate
and persisted in returning.
When several requests failed Booth
grabbed johnson and, after a tussle,
succeeded in putting him out of the
place.
johnson brought suit against Booth
for assault and battery, claiming that
as the store was place to which the
public was invited, Booth had no right
to put him out.
The court, however, dismissed the
case, stating:
"A merchant may withdraw the In
vitation to trade at his place Of busi-
ness from such persons as he may de-
sire, and thereafter. If such persons
come into his place of business. he may
eject them by the use of no more fol ce
than is reasonably necessary under the
circumstances, if they refuse to leave
after notice and reasonable time in
which to do so" ...-

A Sermon for Today
By REV. JOHN n. aUNN.
Moral Failures.

Text: "He that covereth his sins shall
not prosper: but whose confesseth and
forsaketh them shall have mercy
Prov, xxviii:13.
"The foolish make Of their moral
failures graves wherein they bury all
their highest hopes"
"The wise make Of their moral fall
ures ladders by which they climb to-
wards heaven"
These two statements recently came
to my attention and impressed me. All
about me I see these two things TAX
ing place in the experiences Of men.
I see men falling into all sorts OF moral
failures. Some fall with their faces
downward and never get up again.
They lose heart and make no EFFORT to
come back to the better way. They be-
come discouraged with themselves, dis
couraged In business, discouraged with
everything. And in their discourage
ment they abandon all hope for them
selves and all the hopes they had IN
every direction. Others fall but fall
with their faces upward. They fall
faced towards God, better life, and
better things. They fall faced away
from the evil that has thrown them.
Rising from their downfall with re-
neWed hope and courage, they make OF
their failures stepping stones upon
which they climb to higher manhood,
higher purposes and higher usefulness:
II you have made moral failure. do
not be so foolish as to think that 1t
is final. Do not get out of heart about
it. Be not as the foolish who make
of their moral failures graves wherein
they bury all their highest hopes" Be-
lieve that you can get UP again. Be as
the wise who make of their moral
failures ladders by which they climb to-
wards heaven" "
"Who Is sufficient for these things?"
Not you in yourself, else you would not
have fallen. But remember there Is
One able to make you more than a
conqueror. Look to Him for help.

, portion to wrinkle slightly as 1t con-
forms to the curve of the wrist
Colored gloves-that is, gloves depart
! ing from the conventional gray, beige,
cream white, black, tan, etc.-are sell
dom received with any sort Of interest
by the best dressed women. So that
high priced green or red or bright blue
gloves when they are brought forward
as a new fad frequently end by being
sold for less than a song on a stock
clearing bargain table. But the new
blue gloves are not in this class. In
fact, the new blue gloves are quite
dark and usually dull in tone and are
chosen by many of the best dressed
women at present to wear with dark
blue ensembles. They are no more
"lashy" or extreme than dark blue
shoes which have been accepted as
above criticism.
A fashion revival which, If 1t be-
comes widespread, is bound to cause
some anxiety among women who must
needs be we'll dressed on a circum-
scribed dress allowance, is the fashion
for long gloves with sleeveless evening
gowns. The fashion went out during
war times, simply I suppose, because
women couldn't afford them. And
after the war women continued to go
gloveless with evening dress because
they found it comfortable and con-
venient. But now in every formal
evening gathering of very we'll dressed
women you are pretty sure to count at
least two or three pairs of long white
gloves-some of them of shoulder
length.
Out of tiny bits of ribbon you may
make charming posies to use as orna-
ments for your dainty pieces of lin
gerie. All you need is little patience
and directions for making them-and
if you have the first qualification, then
l will be very glad to supply the latter.
Just send me a stamped. self-addressed
envelope and will send you instruc-
tions for making these little flowers,
with sketch to show how they are
worn.

dark woman, Lita Grey Chaplin. Why
she came there nobody knows. That

Because of this collapse she died

had become the master clown of history
To her he was Charlie of the music

Washington History
BY DONALD A. CRAIG.

September 10, 1S62.-Gen. Mcclellan
has sent to this city from the Union
Army, which is in the field in Maryland,
fully go wagonloads of knapsacks. This
tells of his purpose of divesting his force
of every possible encumbrance to rapid
marching and effective fighting and
that he anticipates both soon.
Conflicting reports as to the numbers
and exact positions of the Confederates
who have crossed the Potomac River
into Maryland above Washington con-
tinued to be received here almost hourly.
The estimates run as high as 100000
men.
The Government and Gen. Mcclellan
are prepared to give due reception to
a force of that size, If it should mate
rialize. Apparently the War Department
is inclined to believe that 100000 Con-
federates have crossed the river or are
ready to cross at an hours notice.
Up to noon today no movement OF
the Confederates in Maryland calculated
to develop their numbers was known to
the public here. The authorities of Bal
timore are profoundly impressed with a
belief that force under Gen. StoneWall
Jackson is gradually moving in the d1-
rection of their city.
In military circles here, mystery still
Gen. Lee in crossing the Potomac. Lat
est reports indicate that no Confederate
force of Importance has proceeded far
ther north or west than about 6 miles
this side of HagerstoWn. Some persons
here think that Lee crossed the river
merely to obtain provisions and clothing
from Frederick and other Maryland
towns, while others think he intends to
turn toward Baltimore and attempt to
take that city or cut the railroad be-
tween Washington and the North.
There Is, of course, the possibility that
he will invade Pennsylvania or turn
south toward Washington.
While the plans of Gen. Mcclellan
are naturally being kept secret, 1t is
understood that he is ready to follow
Lee and give him battle wherever he
goes. and that meantime he will keep
the Union Army constantly in position
between Washington and the Confed-
crate Army. If it should be Lees in
tention to induce Mcclellan to withdraw
the Union Army from guarding the Ma
tional Capital, the Confederate general
is apparently doomed to disappointment.
Considerable apprehension prevails
here in Government circles and among
private citizens, and there is hourly ex-
pectation of news of great battle. But
business and amusements are proceed
ing in normal way in the city.

Property Rights.

Each child ought to have some Things
that are his own. Even very youIig
child ought to know his ball ana teooy
bear as exclusively his own. II any one
else wishes to use these belongings ne
Is to ask the child's permission OeIole
using them.
Along with owning things comes the
place to keep them. A drawer se'
aside as the cl1ilds own. or closet,
a shelf, a chest, some place someWlete
that is recognized as the chllds pflNdte
possession, is to be provided. NO one
is to take anything out OF that place
unless the child agrees.
The little children are to be taugnC
to keep their things in the place assign
ed for them That impresses them WIN
the duty of caring for ones properly.
Possessions bring duties and obllgatlons
with them and the sooner chlloren
learn that the better. 1t is difficult 10

house. but if the child is to grow INTO

the respect for ones own Things, teaciles
regard for the property and the rlgnts
of others. When a child keeps MS
own things in order. when he learns to
mend them and adapt them to his use
he will have sympathetic attitude to-
ward the other person who has things
and let them alone, even help care 1or
them.
This early training in the respect
and care for things that are owned Is
one of the best ways to ward off the
very troublesome phase of child expe-
rience-pilfering. No child likes to lose
his things to go-getter without con-
science Nothing irritates child more
than to have another child appropriate
his property. The more care he has
been trained to bestow upon his own
things, the more he has been taught
that the things owned by the other
members of the family are not to be
touched without the owners permission
the less chance there is of his helping
himself to what he wants from the
store of his neighbor.
There is a feeling in some families
that it is not brotherly or sisterly t
preserve property rights but to conside

of all. That may be fine idea, but |

PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE
BY WILLIAM BRADY, M. d.

Nowadays the splint or cast is used
merely as support for the muscles ana
other soft tissues, just as dressings.
bandages or other supports are used for
various wounds. The purpose of the
splint or cast is to provide rest, which
favors the healing process.
But broken bones treated in the old
fashioned way, that is, by prolonged.
immobility in splints or casts, had All
unfortunate way of healing in an un-
satisfactory way, so that prolonged or
even permanent functional impairment
followed the injury. Modern surgery
strives to forestall this, and l believe
the doctor in the case is giving the
little patient the best possible treat
ment. Evidently he practices the mod
ern methods. 1t is generally best to
remove a broken limb from splints or
cast or other fixed dressing and care
fully massage and manipulate it little
every day or two after the first few
days Of course the doctors knowledge
and judgment guide him in doing this.
Such practice, besides assuring more
satisfactory outcome of the injury,
gives the patient greater comfort,
throughout the course Of confinement
know the older doctors used to ap-
ply splints and then bind" them on
with bandages that were in many cases
uncomfortably tight and sometimes
harmfully tight. They meant well, but
their knowledge of the pathology was
inadequate. The modern surgeon has
discarded all such crude methods.
Popular notions about casts are most-
ly based on old-time methods. Plaster
of paris splints or casts are often the
most comfortable form of dressing avail
able. There is no torture, no ordeal.

the confinement necessarily has its
annoyances.

conceived notions about the treatment

nounced.
On the heels of an announcement
made Friday by the Utica Knitting
Company that wage cuts will be made

poration declared similar reductions
on Saturday.
The Mclaughlin Textile Corp, and

they have declared for their yarn
mills will be effective also in all other
branches of employment in the under
wear factories. All these wage cuts
are scheduled to take effect today.
Over 100000 textile workers have
already been affected by the wave
