and imagine much valuable expert
ence was gained from that conflict.
We know il was proving ground
for Nazi and Fascist killing and I'M
dqubtedly the Allies profted by the
efforts in life-saving as well.
The use of sulfa drugs is one of
the great blessings which modern
chemistry has given US. Recently
stood in one of the plants of the
Monsanto Chemical company in St.
Louis, Mo-, letting the soft, healing
powder drip through my fingers. Be
fore me. in a space hardly rs feet
square, was Collection Of small
kegs containing this wonderful anti
septic. There was enough within
my easy reach to serve the whole
Sicilian campaign, they told me.
Each soldier has his packet and fills
his wound with it. 1t stymies the
germs until natural processes ami
hilate them.
The mobility Of the medical units
has been described in many dis
patches and you have all seen photo
graphs of the flying hospitals, the
great air transports with their equip
ment and nurses. The wounded gre
rapidly returned to bases where they
get the best of care. Treatment or
naval vessels is equally effective.
It must be understood that the
drugs and the plasma in themselves
are not cure-alls. They are moi
even cures in many cases. They
are representatives.. They are what
you do with" until the doctor comes
more accurately, until you come &c
the doctor. Surgery is necessary In
the cases of most wounds.
Capt. w. M. Craig, chief of sur
gerry at the Naval Medical center
Bethesda, Md, just outside Of Wash
ington, puts it succinctly:
I'm the last war, when q mans
head was cut open by she'll frag
ment," says Captain Craig, 1.-The sur
geon had to operate at once, ever
though the patient was in such {
weakened condition that he hadn''
one chance in hundred to survive
the operation. The surgeon had M
other choice; he knew if he waited
infection would set in and that Woule
be the end. In thisl war it is differ
ent; the patient is~given- blood plas
ma treatment to build him up, sulft
to check infection, and if his condi
| ton permits, he is flown to hos
pital in the rear where the operation
is performed under ideal condi
tons"

1.-THE wounded soldier in this
global war, though he is exposed to
almost every health hazard known
to man, still has better chance of
surviving and returning safely home
than ever before" says Maj. Gen.
Norman Kirk, surgeon-general OF
the army.
The general gave three reasons:
first, the use of blood plasma to
avoid shock and hemorrhage, Sec
ond, the use Of sulfonamides to COM
bat infection ;,and third, the mobility
and organization of the medical
services which insure prompt and
efficient medical and surgical treat

Crotuned Heads
PROVE Headaches

After the last war, some POLITICALLY
minded writer penned an editorial
which had wide circulation entitled.
THE Twilight of the Kings" Many
a throne had tumbled as result of
that last conflict, names that were
written large in history, faded until
they were less than memories-Ho-
henzollern, Hapsburg, Romanoff, not
to mention host of lesser majesties.
But some who survived are to-
day problems of the United Nations,
like plebiscites, famine, frontiers,
lend-lease, airWays and thousand
other annoying questions that must
be settled when peace comes.
OF course, kings are not to be
shrugged away lightly. Some of
Americas best friends are kings.
But there are crowned heads who
are bound to be headaches for the
uncrowned brows of the statesmen
who have to put the world together
again.
There is the House Of Savoy, for
instance. The king of Italy has been
a problem. So are Balkan poten-
tates in exile or in cahoots with Hit
Ter.
About King Carol
One most romantic monarch who
is likewise exceedingly dynamic Is
ex-King Carol of Rumania. Recent
ly, | received a communication from
him. 1t looked like telegram but
ii was not that intimate--it was
mineographed. 1t contained state
ment of some kind, | have forgotten
the exact nature of it.
But the other day, its source was
revealed when certain publicity or
ganization registered with the de-
partment of justice as all organiza-
tons representing foreign elements
must. 1t developed that Carol had
arranged to try to encourage the
good will of Americans by hiring
this agent for $4,000 (ten grand
down, the rest in easy payments)
to express Carols views, all to be
democratic and pro-Ally.
But the interesting implication is
| that one of the jobs of the press
agent is to remove the Tex" from
the title "ex-king" which seems to
have attached itself to Madame Lu-
| pescu's husband.
And there is roll-back which
only the temerity of an American
press agent would grapple With

Attention is frequently called to
the cheapness of human life in the
early centuries Of history. Perhaps
one explanation of that is the fact
that it only cost 70 cents to kill a
man in julius Caesars time. In.oth-
or words, it didn't cost Caesar such

Here is what the National Grange
thinks respecting much disputed
policy of today The statement that
follows is part of the Grange Plat
form For Agriculture adopted at
the national convention of that or
ganization held at Grand Rapids,
Mich, on Nov. 1913. We quote:
Subsidies in lieu of fair prices
are wrong in principle. They en-
courage initiation, increase public
debt, are expensive to administer
and open the way to bureaucratic
control over those to whom they
are paid. Consumers who actually
need relief should receive It in the
form of income tax reduction or by
applying food stamp plan.
The Grange is the Oldest and
largest farm organization in the ma
ton. 1t has 100000 members, in &C
states.

a great sum in dollars and cents to
conquer the world The cost was in
human lives, just as it IS in the
wars of today.
1t is of further interest to note
that the cost of killing a man had
increased to $4,000 in the American
Civil war, to SIS, 900 in World War
I, and to Sl25,OO0 per man in the
present war, which is a recent esti-
mate Wars evidently are getting in
creasingly expensive in blood and
treasure and yet foolish man con-
tinues to fight and thereby expend
mankind's greatest treasures.
