Libby Hunter Spends
Night in Mountains

Lee Tinker spent night in the
mountains Sunday as the sequel to
a hunting trip. Tinker and COM
panions started to hunt rather late
in the afternoon-in the Elk park
region south of Libby. The men sep
arated and when they came back to
their car later. Tinker did not ap-
pear After waiting some time, they
came back to town for help and a
number of men put in some time
searching for the missing man that
night until they were advised by
Sheriff Baney that their efforts
would prove fruitless in the dark.
Early the next morning the sher-
if and Lester LaBelle, who had
been with Tinker, started from town
to take up the search Just as they
got to Elk Park, they met Tinker
who had just made his way back
to the road.
Tinker said his appearance
was due to the fact that he did not
have watch and thought it was
not nearly so late in the afternoon
as it really was. Darkness sudden
ly came down upon him before he
could make his way back to the
car and he became somewhat con-
fused. Whereupon he did the wise
thing He built fire, made himself
as comfortable as possible and pre-
pared to spend the night. Monday
morning, when it became light, he
made his way back to the road. none
the worse for the experience ex-
cept for the discomfort of night
in the open at this time of the year.

our debt, not only in fulflllment
of our obligation, but as a symbol
of the friendly relations which exist
between the two governments and
the people. The ties that bind the
two independent republics of Fin
land and the United States have
grown stronger since Finland in De-
cember made the last semi-annual
payment on her debt. The people
of America through their outpour-
ing of aid to my country during

of smallpox. If this is true a case
! of mixers nodules should be as
good a vaccination. DR.. Becker
| found, however, that his patients
had acquired no immunity whatso-
ever.
He concluded that the disease is
caused by an entirely different virus
which is, however, fellow trav-
eller' with COW pox. 1t has been
observed before that some persons
when vaccinated develop a dark red
bump on the skin instead of the
usual blister. When this happens
| the vaccination is of no use, so far
as smallpox is concerned
One attack of mixers nodules
confers immunity for the rest of a
persons life, Dr. Becker believes.
The rate of recovery from blood
poisoning has been doubled by sui
fanilamide, sulfapyridine and Sulfa-
thiazol, Drs Wallace E. Herrell and
Alex E. Brown of the Mayo Clinic
told the association today Before
the introduction of these drugs, they
said, the chances of fighting off the
infection depended a great deal on
the age and general resistance of the
patient, the number of bacteria
present and the number of white
blood cells which rallied to resist the
invaders. Now these make little
difference. The factor of greatest
Importance, the two doctors found,
was adequate treatment. Those
treated adequately had seven
chances out of 10 of living, against
seven chances out of 10 of dying if
inadequately treated.
Babies Saved.
Among the most dreaded of baby
diseases is hemorrhage of the new
born. Until a few months ago it
was almost invariably fatal. Now.
with the use of the new blood -clot-
ting vitamin K, infants can usually
be saved.
Immediately after birth a baby
does not appear to have in it's blood
sufficient supply of pro- -thrombin,
out OF which is formed the natural
blood clotting substance, thrombin.
The danger is lessened considerably.
Drs. w. w. Waddell and George M.
Lawson of the University of Vir-
glnla told the association. if pros
pective mothers are given vitamin K
In their diets for few weeks before
the child is born.
A good deal depends, they found
on the season of birth. The greatest
pro-thrombin deficiency in babies is
found during the winter and reaches
its peak early in March. Another
slight rise comes in late August and
early September. This is probably
due, the University of Virginia doc
tors concluded, to variations in the
diet of the expectant mothers.
Arsenic in tobacco was blamed for
several cases of skin disease reported
today by DR.. Edwin E. Barksdale of
Danville, Va. Arsenic has a wide use
as tobacco insecticide, he said, and
small quantities cling to the leaf
when it is made into cigars and
cigarettes. Some persons are alb
normally sensitive to arsenic. In
several cases of skin eruptions, DR..
Barksdale reported, he has found
minute traces of arsenic in the blood,
of which tobacco was the only pos
sible source.

The Senate approved unani-

semi-annual s159,398 war debt

The Senate Finance Committee

ing Finland to postpone it's debt
payments due the United States
during this calendar year.
One installment is due tomorrow
from this little republic, which,
even in the midst of its struggle
against Russian invasion last De-

The favorable report of the COM

If Finland takes advantage of the
