HAPPY FAMILY RE-UNITED. It will be remembered that on the 27th day of March, 1919, on account ot sickness and poveriy, Antoinette Gromond was compelled to turn her three children over to the Judge of Probate, J. E. Harris, who sent them to Owatonna. Through the untiring efforts and the kind heart of Judge Harris, a demand was made by him that the children be held for one year before adoption, that if an opportunity be presented the mother might regain her beloved children. Since the time the children were sent to the school at Owatonna the mother has at last succeeded in se- curing the opportunity which she has been thriving for all these months. The children will again be united with their mother \;hen they arrive on the M. & 1. train tomorrow evening at which time the mother will bhe present at the station to receive them. {PATCH UP GPTIC NERVES NOW In Many Cases Sight Has Been Re- stored to Blinded Soldiers by Army Surgeons. In the field of medicine and sur- gery there were wonderful advances | during the war. Bones from ami- mals have been used successfully to replace human chin and arm bones splintered by high explosives. Skin grafting and facial reconstruction have become commonplace. New noses and ears have been created of thumbs and fingers. The latest and most startling bit of surgery that has grown out of the war was performed at Fort Me- Henry hospital, Baltimore. Through it four soldiers, blinded by explo- sives and gas, have recovered their sight. The operation in each case was to repair shattered optic nerves. arteries have been patched and spliced successfully, but the delicate fabric of nerves has mostly defied the skill of surgery heretofore, and the mark of success upon four opera- tions of such novelty and delicacy promises large things for humanity. NOT FLATTERY. While the minister was making a call the littte girl of the house was busy with peuncil and paper. “What ure you doing?’ he asked when her mother had left the room for a moment, “I'm making your picture”, sald the child. The minister sat very still and she worked uaway steadily. Then she stopped #nd compared her work with the original und shook her head. “L don’t Mke it mueh.” she sald, “Tain’t a grest deal like you. 1 guess I'll put & tail to it and call it a dog.” What It Looked Like. “That's a very pretty painting of yours, that orchard scene,” said the near-sighted lady; “but why didn’t you sign it?” “I did,” replied the artist; “donmt you see my nawe at the bottom?” “Oh, is that your name? I thought that was part of the fence!” MISS ANNE GORDON Miss Anne Gordon, one of the most popular debutantes of the season In Washington, is the daughter of Mrs. George Barnett, wife of the comman- dant of the United States marines. - SKIING AT ST. MORITZ Skiing is one of the most popular winter sports at St. Moritz, Switzer- land. The lady on skis shown here I8 Viscountess Uffington, daughter-in- law of the earl of Craven. Fight Cause of Bean Blight. Of many uttempts to bring the bac- teria blight of beuns under control, the most successtul at the Oklahoma agri- cultural experiment station has been the use of aged seed. ' It,was known that the bacteria retained the power ofgrowth for only a limited time, and Skin, tissue, bone, muscle, veins and | infected seed was saved for experi- | ment. Seed four und five years old never produced Dblighted plants, the low percentage of germination, how- ever, making such seeds valueless for practical bean growing. Seed two and three years old has w@so given blight- free plants, with one exception, and that is attributed to accidental infec- tion. It is concluded the use of bean seed,two or three years old will yleld blight-free plants on uninfected land when at sufficient distance from other bean patches to avoid accldental in- fection. Seed of these ages have a percentage of germination sufficiently high for practical use. 1t Makes a Difference. Gertie——Would ybu say that she is gond looking?\ Maude—That depends. Gertle—On what?
