The room was damaged but little. The iron bed was red hot and all the bed clothing had been burned away. The children, who were motherless, had been left temporarily with the | women by their father, John Stanko vich, a former tenant, when he went to Virginia to work on July 1. Today Mrs. Moselman received a letter from the children's father ask ing her to give his babies into the | eare of their grandmother, Mrs. Theresa White.

She waited patiently for his arrival, ng that he wouldn't disappoint Sometimes he was a little early ~-sometimnes a little late, but eventu- ally he would come, bringing with him something dear to her heart. Once every month for four years he had been a welcome visitor. How well she knew his volce—his smile-— his cheery whistle! At times when he passed the house without as much as a glance, she un- derstood and made no effort to at- fruct his uttention, If he appeared distant now and then, she did not grieve, knowing the day would come— a week, two weeks perhaps—when he | would walk fearlessly up the walk | whith a smile and a cheery word of greeting. After today she would never look for lim again. At least his appearance would never again cause the delight: | ful little heart throbs that were now agitating her. At last she saw him.

At the same time it is desirable that such association should be limited to what Is nee- essary for proper care and nurs- ing, and the patient should be well isolated in a separate room. “School children in the affect- ed household may be kept from school, as u precautionary meas- ure, for three weeks after the isolation of the patient. Those in contact with the case should be advised to use antiseptic nas- al sprays or douches and to gar- gle the throat with solutions such as those advised for influ- enza. “For example, any of the fol- lowing may be used: (1) 1 per cent solution of peroxide of hy- drogen; (2) a solution of per- manganate of potash, 1 in 5,000 in .08 per cent solution of chlor- ide of sodium (common salt) ; (8) liquor sodae chlorinatae, 0.5 per cent. These solutions can be used as ordinary gargles or snuffed up the nostrils or applied by an efficlent spray. “It is desirable that any per- sons In the Infected household who suffer from sore throat or other symptoms suggesting an abortive attack should be treated from this point of view and iso- lated as far as possible until they have recovered. The sick room should be thoroughly cleansed and disinfected at the end of the illness.”—Buffalo Ex- press. a ee re SO EEO EEE EEE EEE LEE LO RE Eten et a ae re een Fe TT e-ene-o-oh CALLS FOR USE OF KNIFE How Carbuncle Should Be Treated to Effect Cure That Can Be Con- sidered Thorough. oe. At a recent examination by the state board of Ohio, medical students were asked how they would treat a car- buncle. The official answer is quoted from Rose & Carless’ Manual of Sur- gery, as follows: “The most thorough and satisfactory is to lay the carbuncle freely open un der an anesthetic and scrape with a sharp spoon or cut away all sloughs until healthy tissue is reached, and then to disinfect the cavity thoroughly with pure carbolic acid or peroxide of hydrogen (10 volumes), The hollow formed is packed with gauze soaked in an fodoform emulsion (10 per cent.) and allowed to heal by granulation, Good food, iron, quinine and alcohol according to judgment, must be administered, while appropri ate medicine (e. g., codeine or opium) and Hmitations of diet are necessary in diabetic patients.” | How Sand Is Traveling. French geologists have long taken interest In the eastward march of the sands along the northern coasts of France, Belgium and Holland, says the Christian Science Monitor, A | fine sand originating on the shores of Normandy has been found distributed on the beaches as far east as Den mark. It was shown, after a careful Investigation of this phenomenon that the eastward march of the sands is due to the fact that all the seu waves approaching the coast from Brittany break in nearly parallel | ines, with an easterly motion. The result Is that the sands always pro gress in that direction. But the proe ess Is slow and gradual, and measure ments have proved that the sand traverses, forward and backward | perpendicular to the shore, a total | distance 8,000 times as great as that which it covers, In the same length of time, in its eastward progress.
