CARE IN USING ANTISEPTICS 1
IS?"
Boston Surgson Glvos Advlco to Non- h
Professionals Callsd UpoH to
Render First Aid.
Dr. Clarence Crane of the Boston
University Medical school delivered I t
an address on "First Aid" at the 1 r
(Evans Memorial, Boston. "Surgical t
cleanliness/' he said, "is of great im- ' J
Iportance to one who would render i c
tirat aid in wounds. Where possible. 1
'i horougbly scrub the hands with *
-:oap, water and a clean cloth or I
I'rush. paying special attention to the '
nails, rinse in some antiseptic if '
possible (alcohol is good), and if a 1
.sterile towel or cloth is not to be 1
obtained do not wipe the hands.
Then cleanse the wound area with
-nap, sterile water and cloth. Antiseptics,
if they can be used intelligently,
are valuable. "The ignorant ,
and unwarranted use of antiseptics
is a source of great danger. Some I
antiseptics are dangerous because of
their destructive action on the tissues,
and others because of their poisonous
effect. They may he taken
bv mistake or with suicidal intent,
or they may fall ito the hands of
children. Some antiseptics of the
safer type are boracic acid, hydrogen
peroxide, alcohol, creolin. aristol,
nutassium permanganate. Some of
the more dangerous kinds are corro.
re sublimate, carbolic acid, iodine." j
. 'JLTIVATE ROSE FOR ITS OIL i
'.insMtanta of Southern Bulgaria Rely
h It ae Their Moat Important
Export.
Miles and miles of rose fields in
southern Bulgaria are despoiled for 1
the extraction of the oil that forms '
the most important export of that
part of the country. The aorta of
rose trees principally cultivated for
the purpose are the red Damascus
and the common white rose. They :
are planted at a distance of seven >
feet from one another and require i
very little care. r
The buds are cut before they are
half opened, fifteen tons yielding
about one pound of oil, the cost of
which ranges from $70 to $100.
Before the war in the Balkans the
largest demand for attar of roses
came from Turkev.

The merchants get the exquisite
perfume bottled up on the spot in
tiny, hermetically closed flasks, i
which are afterward sold at retail.
;
LITER ALIST8.
Literalism may be an appalling 1
blight. It is the bane of unimaginative
men. They are often more de- \ ]
serving of sympathy than of con
iit'imiuiiou. cnxeei-car Tare in
Cleveland is three cents. But if
tickets are not offered, and if the (
exact three cents is not available, the
rate is five cents per person. This 1
is a utilitarian rule, and has been
found desirable in order to prevent
the annoyance of conductors.
There have recently been discov- ; ,
ered in Cleveland a number of co?ductors
who have applied this rule
"to the limit of literalism. They have
refused to accept a dime as cash fare
for three passengers. Although the
proffered coin was one cent in excess
of the stipulated cash fare, they
have insisted that inasmuch as the
.exact nine cents was not offered
there must be three tive-cent fares
,'?aid. It has been necessary for the
railway company to issue a general
order against this peculiar manifestation
of literalism. It may be noted,
however, to the credit of the intelligence
of the uverage Cleveland conMuctor,
that the literals were few in
lumber.?Cleveland Plain Dealer <

FHOUQHT IT PART OF GAME | I
<oru, Accustomed to Being Used in ! '
Motion Picture Film, Didn't Recognize
Real Thing.
A bank robber, who recently looted
he First Bank of San Anselmo, Cal., j
node his getaway on horseback^dpd
he strange behavior of the animsl j
inzzled the citizens who saw the
scape. Wheh '.thfe -wilting !
?ear the bank, saw the robber throw
limself ifcto the saddle and felt the J
irick of the spurs he started off at" i
i leisurely canter. When the spurs I
rere applied again the horse looked J
tround at the rider in a hurt and >
ather inquiring way. Then came
he shouts of the aroused towns- !
TllAnln o rtf] fUo U/\*?on UW/NI'rt i A \

*eal canter. Shortly a pistol popped '
ind the canter became a gallop. The
irst shot was followed by a fusillade j 1
:rom revolvers, rifles and shotguns,
vhereat the horse laid bark his ears, , <
lumped himself and was soon lost '
n the distance. The pursuers, ac- '
ording to the account, found the (
lorse quietly nibbling twigs at the 5
>dge of a thicket and looking ex- j 1
pectantlv at the bushes for the reap- 5
iearanee of his rider. Persons in j *
the crowd then recognized the horse
is a well-known steed that had been <
jsed in the preparation of motion- '
picture films in which it was his 1
lart to bear away the "outlaw" escap- '
ing from the sheriffs posse. It was '
onjectured that when the bank rob- '
!>er stole the horse he acquired either I
by accident or by design the trained
motion-picture steed and that the
nag when overtaken was waiting at
the thicket to lie taken back for a
repetition of the performance in orler
to insure getting a good film.

NEW MOTOR DEVICE.
A useful device for preventing !
street accidents has been patented
and is about to be put on the mar- ,
ket. It is to be known as a traflic j
regulator.
In demonstrating its working the
other day, the inventor pointed out
that an arrow regulator, consisting
of two switches fixed to the steering
wheel, produces, when pressed, !
an electrically lighted arrow at the
rear of the ear, indicating to the ;
ilriver of any vehicle behind when
the car is about to turn to the left
or the right. Another device shows
in addition to "right" and "left." the
words "slow" and "stop," and can
be seen by the driver of any vehicle
within fifty yards, this latter l>eing
worked automatically with the operation
of the clutch or brakes.

can't write a correct letter.

at putting ideas in plain ftnglish.

break all rules of grammar when i
they take pen in hand to demand
their pay. Xew York high school
students fall down fifty-six ways on
