ADAM SLEPT

When, on October 10th, just SO
years ago, science had found way
to relieve mankind Of some of its 'un-
necessary pain and suffering, by the
use of anaesthetics, it was met with
stiff opposition on the ground that
suffering was the natural lot of man
kind, and to prevent it was an i'm
pious thwarting OF the will of God
It was not until reference was made
to that part of the Bible, which re-
lates that God caused deep sleep to
fall upon Adam before removing his
rib, that the critics and opponents
Of anaesthetics were stilled.
The. romance Of the discovery of
ether is full of interest and adventure.
On October Is, 1916, cher was first
used In surgery when DR.. Morton,
a Boston dentist administered his
discovery to a patient, who was to
undergo an operation of the jaw. The
leading physicians of Boston wit
messed the event., When the patient
awoke and declared that he had felt
no pain, the physicians were con-
WINGED that here was a valuable dis
covery. But how valuable it was,
how it has made possible the great
advances Of surgery, even they could
not conceive.
Before that discovery, surgery was
rarely resorted to--at best 1t was
poorly done. How could it have been
otherwise, with writing patient be-
meath the knife, suffering indescrib-
able tortures, held as quiet as pos
sible by several men and nurses
Sometimes, the patient was given a
blow to render him more insensible
to pain.
The discovery of ether enabled
surgery to advance by leaps and
bounds. How many thousands Of
lives are being saved every week by
its usel *
How DR.. Morton experimental first
upon insects and fish, then upon
his beloveA companion, his little dog
Mig, and then upon himself, is a
separate story. Mig did his part to
make possible the alienation OF hui
man and animal suffering. Mig was a
hero, and SO was the discoverer Of
ether, DR.. w. T. G. Morton. October
10th, Ether Day, the anniversary Of
its first use, might well become a
red-letter day in American History.

Our western men dress too

calling the flowing robes OF. the Arab,
the negligee of the heather Chinese
and the even more scanty attire OF
the African man-of-faShion. "They
should emulate their wives. Women
have been more sensible and their
way of dressing has not affected the
country's moral any more. than the
morals would be lowered If men
removed their coats in hot weather
Only silly chivalry prevents it.

They seem to be mighty hungry.
Almost every man has had his bread
gnawed. Kropp wrapped his in his
waterproof sheet and put it under
his head. but he can not sleep be-
cause they run over his face to get
at it.
Detering meant to outwit them:
he fastened a thin wire to the roof
and suspended his bread from it.
During the night when he switched
on his pocket-torch he saw the wire
swinging to and fro. On the bread
was riding a fat rat
At last we put stop to it. We
can not afford to throw the bread
away, because already we have prac-
tically nothing left to eat in the
morning, so we carefully cut off the
bits of bread that the animals have
gnawed.

I'VE can duck, that is all; we neither
know nor can determine where 1t
will fall.
1t is this chance that makes us
| Indifferent. A few months ago l
was sitting in dug-out playing
skat; after a while I stood UP and
went to visit some friends in an
other dugout
On my return nothing more was
to be seen of the first one, it had
been blown to pieces by direct hit.
I went back to the second and ar
rived just In time to lend a hand
digging it out. In the interval it
had been buried.
1t is just as much a matter of
chance that am still alive as that

The rats have become much more

sign of a coming bombardment.

Kat, my comrade.
The outlines of the huts are upon
us in the dawn like a dark, deep
sleep.
There are rumors of an often
siye. We go up to the front two
days earlier than usual. On the
way we pass shelled school
house.
Stacked up against its longer
side is high double wall of yellow,
unpublished, brand-new collins. They
still smell of fir, and pine, and the
forest. There are at least a hun
dred.
That's a good preparation for
the offensive" says Muller aston

angrily.

they'll slip you a waterproof sheet
for your old Aunt Sally of a carcas."
The others jest, too, unpleasant
jests, but what else can q man DO?
The collins really are for US. The
organization surpaSses itself in that
kind of thing.
Ahead of us everything is SIM
mering The first night we try to
get our bearings When it is fairly
quiet we can hear the transports
behind the enemy lines rolling
ceaselessly until dawn. Kat says
they do not go back but are bring
ing up troops - troops, munitions,
and shells.
The English artillery has been
strengthened, that We can detect at
once. There are at least four more
batteries Of tWenty-f1ves to the right
of the farm, and behind the poplars
they have put in trench mortars
Besides these, they have brought
up a number of those little French
beasts with instantaneous fuses.
We are in low spirits. After we
have been in the dugouts two
hours our own shells begin to fall
in the trench. This is the third
time in four weeks.
If it we're simply a mistake in
aim no one would say anything, but
the truth is that the barrels are
worn out. The shots often are so
uncertain that they land within our
own lines. Tonight two of our men
were wounded by them.
