Curiously enough—and as often happens — our decision is being ‘made for us by the action of France and other European nations in re- fusing to pay the war debts. That question has had more to do with the farm problem than most of us have appreciated. ee A brief review of economic changes! in the last 20 years proves the point. Before the war, America exported agricultural products and imported manufactured goods. The English, Germans and French had invested) large sums in this country and we were a debtor nation. Agricultural) exports helped our world trade to strike a balance. The war made several significant; changes. Instead of a debtor nation per 100,000 among boys, as against 543 among girls.

A Grand Old School! RUFFLE a a BU 8 = i f ggTyEcRE ive ete i He Address Dr. William Brady, in care of this newspaper. TAN FOR BURNS Constant spray or a full bath with tannic acid solution is one of the most effective methods of treating severe sealds or burns. In reporting the la- borious technic of the method, for ex- tensive burns, Dr. Ronald B. Wells of Hartford says: “I have not had to resort to skin grafting in a single scald treated by this method, and I am inclined to believe that the re- epithelization in every diffuse super- ficial burn may be more nearly per- fect and leave less scarring when it is developed under the protection of an aseptic tan than when it is promoted from any form of a skin graft.” ‘The achieving of an aseptic tan for PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE By William Brady, M.

Please send me @ copy of “Little Lessons in the Ways of Health.”, I am an old reader and have derived many fine health hints from your column . . . (R. L. 8.) Answer—That is the name of a ser- ‘ies of booklets. I am sending you the purpose is a task that demands the untiring care and skilled atten- tion of doctor and nurse. The exten- sively burned or scalded patient is put immediately into a large tub of tannic acid solution, enough tannic acid in the water to make it muddy in color. Tannic acid is cheap and a great quantity is kept on hand for emer- gency treatment of burns. The.tem- perature of the bath is regulated to suit the patient’s comfort. Fresh wa- ter is run in and the solution drained out continuously, more tannic acid being added from time to time. Us- ually the patient experiences so much Telief that he freely co-operates with doctor and nurse for the rest of the treatment. Once the tannic acid bath has given this primary relief loose tags of burn- ed skin are cut away with scissors and thumb forceps. Tops of blisters are trimmed or wiped off with sterile gauze. Unburned areas right up to the margin of burn are gently but thoroly scrubbed with soap and wa- ter. When the tub becomes grossly fouled it is dratned, quickly cleaned and filled with a fresh tannic acid solution. This mechanical cleansing is kept up as long as necessary—it is back-breaking work for nurse doctor for a good three hours per- haps. The objective is mechanical cleansing of not only burned area but of the entire skin surface, by which cleansing disease germs and the dead or dying tissues they live on have been completely eliminated. ‘The bath facilitates the removal of clothing, conserves body heat, com- bats shock, gives the patient much relief, While the -patient is in the bath he is given as much fluid by mouth as he will take—water, coffee, orange juice, milk, weak tea, soups— to prevent dehydration or excessive loss of water from the body. “The Ils Called Rheumatism.” (Copyright 1933, John F.

Claire have reached Russian Lake in the C ¢ Curt has approved downfall of the Romanofe. At ¢ potlatch on the lake shore Curt plays an old Russian tune, ai ne Sonya sings the words. At icaet, rhe @ Russian, Curt te eure she ts Chapter 14 SONYA APOLOGIZES Makes must be # Russian, exiled by the revolution and therefore bitter against it. That was why she had flared out at-+him when he mild- ly praised the Leninists, Her man- ners indicated that she had come m a well-to-do family, possibly from the aristocracy. But what about her brother? Ralph didn’t appear Russian, or an alien at all. His name was English and he seemed to be an ordinary Canadian citizen. Of course he could have changed his name, and it was possible that he had lived in the Dominion longer than Sonya; but even so they were vastly differ. ent people to be brother and sister. Altogether there was something odd about the relationship of those two, something that he could not quite fathom. Old John took the trout from the balsam slab, divided it; and an In- dian girl handea the portions around on strips of birchbark, with an oolichan and piece of bacon to each portion. As Curt passed out his cigarettes and chocolate squares, he purposely stopped with Nichols, crouched down, and fell into talk with the entomologist. “I understand you're not ataying at Russian Lake much longer, Ralph.” “No. Mr. Higginbotham here has hired two guidee for us and we're leaving tomorrow morning.” “Making a trip into the bush?” “Yes, up the Lilluar.” A young trapper cut in bluntly: “Nichols, if you try to go into the Klosohee ranges, it'll be just too bad, that’s all! Those Klosohees ain’t any tame treaty Siwash. What I mean, I'd ruther fight @ grizzly b’ar with a pine branch than argy with them boys. When I first hit this country four years ago, I thought this talk about ‘em was mostly nonsense, but I found out different!” “You may be a scientist, Nichols, an’ after nothing but harmless bu; but they won’t know you from a’ human bein’, an’ they don’t have any more use for you than for any white man. You'll git to the pass all right, but if you go any further you'll float back down, so full of arrers you'll look like a pincushion! Ain’t I right, John?” “They don't let whites in,” old John corroborated. “They'll give a man fa’r caution, an’ if a prospector happens to stray inside, they'll take ‘m out peace’bly. I'm jist meanin’ to say they shoot squar’ with a per- son at first, an’ then if he don’t take warnin’ they shoot straight.” The city sportsman winked know. ingly at Sonya. “Scare talk, Miss| Nichols, They've repeated it so much that they've got to believing it themselves. You'll find those Smokies as tame as tabby cats.” Sonya quietly ignored the sports- man and spoke to the men whé knew what they were talking about. “I don’t deny there's a danger. But we're going to try and get on friend- ly terms with the Klosohees, If they understand we're altogether peace- ful, they probably won't object, And we do want to work in that coun- try. One week in there would be worth a year in @ country that’s been combed and combed.” RT took no part in the discus- sion, By linking up Jamieson's account of the wild Lilluar tribe ‘with Sonya’s sketch of their history, he could see the whole story of the Klosohees pretty clearly. Their hos- tility toward white people undoubt- edly sprang from the brutal treat- and left; the young trapper stuck « wolf cub in each jacket pocket and trotted for his tent, Curt wanted to ask Sonya if he might walk up to Higginbotham’s residence with her, where she and Ralph were staying; but he was afraid of getting snubbed. While he wavered, Sonya said good-night to Mre. Hodkins and turned to him. “T've been wanting to apologize to you, Mr. Ralston.” She was really sincere about it—so contrite, in fact, that she would not look him in the eyes but stared at a button on his jacket. “Why, it was as much my fault ‘as yours,” he insisted, as they atart- ed up toward the factor’s house. “I threw out a big wild statement and you caught me up on it. But honest- ly”—he was thinking of her javelin. sharp words—“I'd hate to ever get into a real quarrel with you.” “Am I that baa?” “Oh, you're positively formidablet To change the eubject, there’s some thing I'd like to say, if you won't bite my head off.” “I promise. What fs it?” “Well, if you don’t mind an un- solicited opinion, I believe you and your brother ought to think twice before you start north into Klo sohee territory. I don’t know any- think about the Klosohees myself, but I do know that some of these northern Dinnehs can’t be judged by the bands closer in to civilization.” “But we've thought twice already, Mr. Ralston, and we've decided it’s worth the risk.” She said it so conclusively that Curt dropped the subject. If he was to stop them, he would have to think up some way more effective than argument. At the door of the residence they chatted a few moments about the party, and then Sonya bade him good night. Curt turned away re luctantly, looking back once for a glimpse of her as she stood outlined in the shaft of light from the door. E told himself when the Karak- han hunt was over he was going to look her up, find out who she really was, and try for a better ac quaintance. He would be a poor de tective-if he could not trace Ralph and her. The rain came on in earnest short- ly after he reached camp. A high wind lashed the pines, woke up the lake and tugged at their tent; rain fell in gusty sheets; flash after blinding flash of lightning banged into the timber and rolled bellowing across the Jake, Sitting on their sleeping pokes, he and Paul waited for the time when they could begin their work, Not long after the storm began, Curt felt a trickle of water on his hat brim. He reached for his torch and looked up. About two feet down trom thé ridgeline a neat hole the size of a pencil had appeared in the canvas. On the opposite wall and at the same height’was another hole, “Look Paul—how’d those get there? No stick would blow clear through both—” A livid white flash lit up the tent as plain as day. An instant later— kip-plang!—their nested set of alue minum dishes, lying on a box near the flap-front, suddenly exploded in @ dozen directions, as though pos- sessed of some diabolic magic. In the rolling thunder Curt heard the half-muffied bark of a rifle. He eprang to his feet. “Hell! Somebody’s shooting at our tent! It's that breed!” They grabbed slickers and auto- matics, and leaped outside. Throw- ing themselves down behind the fre ‘wood, they waited for the next spurt of rifle fire to tab the darkness. “Watch back in the timber, Paul. Tl watch down toward the fort. He's in one of those directions, He’s not out on the lake or around the post anywhere.” A minute lengthened to three, five. Curt had never known it to rain so hard as just then, or to lighten so tremendously. One moment they were blinded by a dazsling glare; in the next the dark dropped like a i. ment they had received from the | pai! Russians, In so isolated a tribe, traditions would hang on for genera- tions, Now Sonya and Ralph were going Into that pot of trouble, with no pro- tection except a pair of guides who would desert at the first real danger. For a city girl and man to venture into , territory “where nced bush-lopers stayed strictly out was sheer euicide, and not s very Pleasant kind of suicide at that. At eleven-thirty the first spatter of rain broke up the party. The In- dians faded into the darkness; the nbled home; the missioner They lay there for ten minutes, praying for just one glimpse of = rifle flash. But the sniper did not shoot agae “We might as well go back i,” Curt suggested finally. “I ought to’ve taken your advice and left him over on the island. We saved him froma @oaking and then got it ourselves.” “Sometime we're going to have showdown with that slinker. He's going to kill us or we're going to Kil him,” It was exactly Curt’s own thought.
