SURGERY MADE PAINLESS. A discovery by which surgery is made painless after as well as during operations has been made public by Dr. Charles A. L. Reed, who, in his demonstration at the Cincinnati Gen eral Hospital, declared that the era of painless surgery had at last dawned. Dr. Reed has used the method suc cessfully in operations in the abdom inal and pelvic cavities and in the re moval of cancers and tumors. He related the case of a woman on whom he had operated for conditions which under old and yet prevalent methods would have caused great agony. In stead, she did not know that she had been operated upon, awakened im mediately without pain or sickness, asked for a newspaper and was in nocently arranging logo to hear Mine. Tetrazzini sing that evening when told what had been done. She went home at the end of three weeks with out ever having had a twinge of pain. The surgeon then demonstrated the method on a woman patient. She awakened immediately after the oper ation entirely free from pain. Dr. Reed calls the method “ano cithcsia,” to convey the idea of “without fear or pain.” His posi tion as a surgeon, writer, scientist and once president of the American Medical Association is taken as a guarantee of the scientific value of the discovery. FORREST NOTES. Minnesota has a forested area of 28 million acres, the largest of any state east of the Rocky Mountains. There are approximately 4 million acres of timber land in New Hamp shire of which about half is in farm ers’ wood lots. Forest fires in the United States have caused an average annual loss of 70 human lives and the destruc tion of 28 million dollars worth of timber. Juniper from the Indian reserva tions of New Mexico and Arizona may prove an excellent source of material for lead pencils. Manufact urers are searching the world for pen cil woods. JAPAN A POWDER MINE. From the Washington Times. “It is now clear that the inspiration j for the Japanese disorders is not na- j tional sentiment against the United States, but against crushing taxation ' at home. The riots are not inflamed | by California insults to national pride | but by hunger. “An enormous proportion of the ( total production of the Japanese is j devoured by the carrying charges of the government. Even in prosperous days this is almost insupportable; and now Japan is gnawed by famine. So the people —the bread winners, earn ing not enough for food, but still re quirt'd to send their incessant tribute to the treasury—begin uprisings against the government. That’s a story as old as government whether of the Orient or of the Oeei dent. “As old a story, too, is it that when , a government is hard pressed from j within by the discontent, the disor- 1 der,’ and the menace of its people, j one of two things is likely to happen. Either the government starts a coun ter movement to take the minds of the people off their personal griev ances —starting, for example, a back fire of foreign entanglements, against the revolutionary blaze at home —or on that issue rival politicians, seizing a glittering opportunity, attempt to get control of the government itself. “That s why the eyes of all nations are upon Japan. “The Japain se government doesn’t want war with the I nited States over Mexico, or California, or any thing else. The Japanese government does not want war with anybody. But the Japanese government —either the one in existence or a new one that might be thrust into its plact—could be forced into things it didn’t want by an irresistible public opinioji, ex pressing itself now in clamor and ri ots, hut perhaps some other day in iin upset of ministries and even of thrones. “And so our Government must al ways give heed to what is going on in Japan, when there is famine in a big part of the country, when there is want everywhere, when the load of paying national debt and supporting the government is breaking the hacks of the workers. In better times there is little danger for us, because in bet ter times the government can control its people; but when starvation is urging the nation to hatred and ex cesses, Japan is an international pow der mine. Our interests lie within the danger zone. We cannot leave them unnoticed and unguarded.” Items of Interest. A recent investigator says that translations of Shakespeare, Milton, Carlisle and Emerson are in little de mand among the boy students of Japan. They prefer Ibsen, Suder mann, Dostoyeraski, Maeterlink and Shaw. A missionary writes that in Tripoli, Syria, a city of 40,000 people, there is no place for the poor and sick that is supported by the city. Bishop Frank W. Warne, of the Methodist Episcopal church, says: “Last year there were gathered into the church by baptism from India and Burma about 30,000 people. In 1910 in all the rest of the world mis sionary field there were but 1d,280 baptisms.” Twenty-seven hospitals and asy lums for lepers are maintained by foreign mission boards of the I nited States. Of the 5,882 foreign missionaries furnished by the Student Volunteer Movement, 1,739 are in China. It was stated by Dr. Hurry at the recent Student Volunteer convention in Kansas City that of the 100,000 students in Latin America, only two per cent arc fortified by a vital re ligion. A recent report shows an enroll ment in college mission study classes of 40,000. The student movement in China is only five years old, and yet 1,000 volunteers arc enrolled. One out of every five Chinese in this country is a native-born Ameri can. The proportion of American born among the Japanese is much smaller. Japanese Buddhists have mission ary agencies in many countries. There are said to be ten missionary districts in the United States, with headquarters at Kyoto, Japan. In 190H nearly $4,000 was sent from Japan for missionary work in Amer ica. There are said to be thirteen Buddhist temples in California, with nineteen ministers. Creagerstown Litter. Some of you critics can begin to change your opinion of Mr. Groundhog. Wheth * er Mr. Pig has any control over the con ; dition of the weather or not, I cannot | say, but you will agree that his predic i tions are realistic. j Regardless of the snow, blow and block aded roads, our mail carrier “Daddy” ] Albaugh, was on the job every morning, and unless we are deceived, it will take j more than a groundhog to stop him.
