Tannic Acid Beneficial
If 1t Is Properly Used
Badly Burned Children Usually Can
Be Saved With Prompt Hos
pital Treatment

The use Of tannic acid treat
ment in place Of old fashioned
smearing with grease for severe
burns of children is outlined and
endorsed in the bulletin issued to-
day by the educational committee of
the Minnesota State Medical AS
ISOLATION. ...
This is the method that was ex-
planned to Minnesota physicians by
it's originator, DR.. e. c. Davidson,
Detroit, head Of the Michigan Child
rens' Hospital, at the recent an
nual meeting of the Minnesota med
.ical body in Duluth, --..-..
It is based OF, an interesting new
theory about just what it is that so
frequently causes deaths in children
following severe burns, sometimes
of comparatively limited extent. It
is reviewed in today's bulletin be-
cause of the new hope that it offers
in these pitiful accidents.
DR.. Davidson reported, incidental
ly, that hot water left carelessly
where children may pull it over on
themselves or fall into it is still re-
sponsible for sixty-five per cent of
the most serious burns brought to
all childrens' hospitals. The i'm
portance of keeping scrub pals and
bath tubs of steaming water where
the baby cannot possibly tumble in
to them and of keeping coffee per-
culators and tea pots out of reach
of exploring hands is emphatically
noted in this bulletin as infinitely
better than the best treatment the
doctor can offer. ~s@!"'
In the meantime, the new theory
which the success of the tannic acid
treatment amply bears out, holds
that immediate deaths from burns
are caused by toxic substance
at the site of the burn. g
These substances get into the
blood stream and circulate general
ly in the body. The tannic acid re-
commended is a protein precipitant.
1t holds all poisons out of solution
and prevents their absortion into
the blood. It has other virtues, too,
at the outside of the burn with no
Inflammation and less
marked resulting scar tissue.

Cattle Department

A visit to the cattle barns would
have convinced the most skeptical
that Stearns county produces some
of the finest purebred and tubercu-
lin tested cattle in the state of
Minnesota, famous for splendid cat
tie.
Borgmann Bros, of the Hillside
Dairy, Sank Centre, were awarded
first prize for the best bull of all
breeds. B. H. Otte, residing east
of the city, made a fine showing
with his splendid herd of milking
Shorthorns.
Jennisen Bros, of the Monarchial
Stock Farm, had a herd of eight
head of splendid Shorthorns.
Wood Brothers, of Paynesville,
carried off practically all the hon.
ors in the sheep department.

P. A. Swenson, Supervisor of sum-
mer project work Of the School of

jects carried by students of the

students are as follows: Experiment
with reed canary grass, soils ferti-
lizer on corn and alfalfa, fertilizer
experiment on peat, tractor opera
ton, poultry raising. >*4% 49,.
Mr.. Swenson reports that some
very fine work is being done in this
county by the students of the
School of Agriculture which is de-
finitely beneficial to the farm
homes and communities from which
they come. Project work is the put
ting into actual practice the things
learned at University Farm during
the winter months and for which
credit toward graduation is given
Mr.. Swenson says that the School
of Agriculture is IL months
school-six months at University
Farm and six months on the home
farm where the teachings are put
into practice under the supervision
Of member of the school faculty.
There were in attendance at the
School of Agriculture, University
Farm, Cpl young men and women
during the past winter. Anyone
seventeen years of age or over is
eligible to attend this school
whether they have completed grade
school or high school or neither
The complete course is made up OF
three winters of six months each
winter. Each six months is divided
into two terms of three months
each. The fall term this year begins
September 20 and ends around
Christmas time and the winter
term begins January and ends the
latter part of March. A student NAV
begin either term, although it is
better to begin the fall term and
take the whole six months through.
The total cost for attending the
school including board, room, laun-
dry, books and tuition for three
months is approximately SIS. The
students average age of the young
men attending the school is 20 and
the young women attending the
school is between 10 and 20.
Mr.. Swenson says that he hopes
many more young folks from this
county will find it possible to attend
the. School of Agriculture during
the winter. He says that if any Of
them are interested in getting more
information concerning the school
that they should write to the Prin-
cipal of the School of Agriculture
at University Farm, st. Paul.

his pleasing personality captlvated

For the first time this year a
loud speaker was placed in front
of the grandstand and when ever
possible the acts were sang or talk
ed into the microphone.
The piano for the acts was furn-
ished the Fair Association through
the courtesy of the Unger Furni-
ture Company.
Wednesday afternoon the extra
ordinarily versatile and clever
Brancell assisted the review with a
headline act that was outstanding,
probably the best feature ever ap-
pearing on the Stearns County
Fair grounds. The act opened with
Mrs. Brancell singing a couple of
songs very acceptably. The little
lady did clever acrobatic dance;
then followed Mr.. Brancell and his
two marvellous dogs-Jack and Jill.
The dogs performed marvellous
feats, had implicit confidence in
their master and appeared to en-
joy every minute they were work
ing. The act closed with some high
perch and wire walking by Mr..
Brancell and his 12-year-old son.
Eddie Russell, a German coined
ian of more than ordinary merit,
was the announcer for Wednesday.
His chair dance was very clever
and ELECTED rounds of applause.
The acts for this years show
were booked through the North
western Amusement Company, St.

Miller, lived up to her contract, and
more. She personally supervised
every performance. The show last
evening was beautifully costumed
and prettily presented.

Sank Centre Boy Grand Champion
Winner

Two hundred Stearns County
boys and girls members of the 4a
clubs of the county, have been fed
this week at the fair grounds by the
Fair Association. Monday, Tuesday
and Wednesday evenings many of
them were provided with cots to
sleep on. The girls were parked in
the Community Club rooms and the
boys at the Armory.
The Gopher Prairie Club Jared
exceedingly well in the winning of
prizes. J. M. Drew, of the Univer-
sity Farm, and others made the
awards. Junior Vandesteeg, of
this city, II years old, won first
prize in the Holstein section of
dairy calves and was also awarded
the grand championship prize for
having the best dairy calf in all
classes.
The laws governing the Boys and
Girls All Club work prescribe
that winners going to the State
fair must be at least II years old.
He has made a splendid start this,
his first year in All Club work and
should be in position to make a
splendid showing next year when
he will be old enough to go to the
State Fair.
Roman Botz, also a member of
the Gopher Prairie Club, won first
in the baby beef class and will go
to the Junior Live Stock Show to
be held late at South st. Paul this
fall with the grandchampion of
all baby beeves entered in the All
Club exhibits. Romans entry was
purebred Shorthorn.
Henry Essler, of the Ashley-R.ay-
mond Club won second place in his
class in dairy division with a pure
bred Holstein. He was sixth in the
open competition with other grades.
Elder Schleif, also a member Of the
Ashley-Raymond Club, with a pure
bred Guernsey entry, won second in
the Guernsey class and was placed
seventh in the open competition.

Entertainment Features

AIAAOCA O6SA1AIuol1O Ot1CuTcS
The entertainment program this
year was a distinct departure
from former years.
Because Of the unsatisfactory
ending of many of the harness race
events the fair officers decided to
do away with this type of horse
racing this year. Instead 10-mile
relay running race was arranged.
There were four entries of three
horses each in this event which was
arranged very largely for horses
owned on the farm. The animals
were to be ridden without saddle
and changed every half mile. The
entry from the Mossman farm,
Birch Lake, was leading at the
end of the six miles last evening.
Bob Scanlon was a close second.
Had Bob's horses been as well
handled at the post as were the
Mossman horses he might have
been leading instead Of being plac-
ed second. The entry from the
Ben Otte farm was a bad third
anu harry hooper, fourth, hadn't
really started at the hour of GO
ing to press.
