Here's an interesting revision of the pro- hbition laws as suggested in the latest re- port of the Wickersham Commission on Law Observance and Enforcement. The comms- soners would have the sense of smell substi- tuted for the sense of taste in securing evi. denee of violation of the liquor laws Says the report "The requirement that agents drink intoxicating liquor in order to testify to the fact of violation has a deleterious ef- feet on agent and public sentiment alike :" In other words, too many of the prohibition agents are failing in their duty by imbibins too deeply of the fruit of the vine. Probably in most instances. it isn't the fruit of the vine that makes their bloo-i jingle bu, the fruit of tbe mash Ihat is cooked in illicit stills. However. that isn't going to make prohibition any more popular in this

Well, somehow, all the way to my place in the Biscuit Hills I kept thinkin' ay the lad.  I'd warned him about strayin' off Into Skeleton Sink, av course, but I feared he might make trouble fer himself in spite av all.

I found their outfit at the Tanks all right, wid no water in the Tanks. Pierre must have found his friend Bruce and Colorado because twas clear that there had been three ay thim shere. By all the signs, one av the men had gone on toward Gold Center; one had started back to Drippin' Spring and one is there yet"

Method OF Preparing Cure
For Bone Tuberculosis

NEW YORK. Oct. IA. (IN.S.
Probably the most interesting
guests at the New waldorf-As.

dred mother blow-flies, their eggs
and their young in various stages
Of development.
These insects and the method
by which they are bred and pre-
pared for service in mans war
on disease comprise one of the
exhibits in a room adjoining the
hotels main ballroom. where near
ly 5000 physicians this week are
attending the clinical congress of
the American College of Surgeons.
MaggOt Esteemed
In the past two years the blow
fly larva, or maggOt, has come
to high esteem as q natural doc
tor in cases Of bone ulcers and
even certain types of tuberculosis
Of the bone and surrounding It's
sues.
The maggot, which is the first
stage of the insect development
after the fly's egg is Matched, is
used alive in these cases. It is
tranSplanted into the wound
from the artificial culture in
which it was Matched.
The young worm, less than an
inch long, feeds on the poisons
and germs in the wounds. Hun
dreds of the maggots are put in
the wounds. The result. in re-
markably large number of cases,
is complete cure of the condition.
Cures On Increase
Previously nearly 80 per cent
of such cases could not be wholly
cured. Now. with the use of the
blOwfly larvae, cures up to 10 per
cent are reported.
AS a result of their increasing
use method has been devised
for obtaining blowfly eggs, steril-
izing them and shipping them
from the East to West coasts for
Matching and curative purposes.
In the exhibit booth at the no
