THEIJADAIR COUNTY NEWS I JB t h v Broken Hearts Mended. Broken hearts are now being mended. Not the hearts shat tered by unfortunate romances, but the valvular organs pierced by knives. Time mends the first kind, but only the skilful sur geon, Zeldler, can be depended on to operate successfully on the knife-torn heart. Dr. Zeldler has a little hospital at Obuchow in Russia. Thirty one persons brought to the hos pital with hearts pierced and slashed by knife wounds have successfully had their organs re paired and have recovered en tirely, to all appearances, from their remarkable experiences. One patient has lived seven years and shows no signs of hav ing been affected by the heart wound and subsequent sewing up. The patients were all put under the influence of ether very soon after the injury, part of the chest wall was removed, the heart lifted from its bed, and the stitches quickly introduced be tween pulsations. The oony chest wall over the heart was not put back into place, that or gan be.ng left protected onlv by skin and muscle. This was done to give the heart room to expand and to prevent adhesions from embarrassing the heart's action. Coughs and Colds are dangerous Few of us realize the danger of Coughs and Colds.

The leader of an African hunting expedi tion, who set out on a motor trip from the Cape to Cairo, recently used it as a decoy for tigers and hippopotami. In tiger hunting it is usual to tether a lamb to a tree; its bleatings attract the ti ger within reach of the hunters. Before leaving England the ex plorer had some records made by bleating lambs, and, says a re cent writer, he tried them- on the unsifpecting tigers of the African jungle with consider able success. The record makers gained one of their greatest triumphs when they succeeded in getting good nightingale and blackbirds rec ords.

WITHERS MILLER President of the Polk-Miller Drug Company, Richmond, Va., is authority , for the following extraordinary state ment: "I estimate that the business men of this country could increase their effi ciency fully ten per cent by taking an occasional laxative and not neglecting the bowels as most of them do."

A race war in Early county, Ga., and across the Chattahoo che river, in Alabama, has re cently resulted in the killing of nine negroes, the wounding of several whites and the burning of four negro lodge buildings. The trouble grew out of the murder of J. Villipigue, a white plantation overseer, by negroes grandison Goolsby and his sons, Mike and Ulysses. The killing of the white man is said to have been caused by a beating which he gave to one of the young Goolsbys. Immediately mobs and posses started in pursuit of the slayers and are said to have killed nine negroes in the conflict which followed. In retaliation the blacks wounded a number of white men. Reports that a negro secret or ganization had delegated Gools bys and his sons to kill Villipigue caused the burning of four ne gro lodges. The elder Goolsby was known as one of the leading spirits in negro Ma-on and ne gro Odd Fellow's lodge in that section and also as a member of several negro organizations. A GREAT SUBSCRIPTION OFFER.

The death rate from typhus is abnormally high, while that from influenza is rap idly approaching the figures set by "the grip" which swept the councry 20 years ago., Both re sults from insanitary conditions, both being germ diseases. In Mexico climatic conditions, utter failure to give attention to sanitary matters, and the rava ges of war largely account for the prevalence ot typhus fever. In the United States the open winter, exposing decaying vege tables and animal matter, may be the principal contributing cause of influenza. Mexico is without physicians or other med ical assistance, Carranza having banished the Red Cross. In the United States doctors are plenti ful and are able to afford relief if summoned in time But be yond all these the people them selves must giv.e attention to cleanliness about homes and premises, and take such other Bowels are Basis of Child Health The careful mother, who watches sely the physical peculiarities of her .ldren, will soon discover that the jst important thins in connection with child's constant good health is to keep a bowels regularly open. Sluggish wels will be followed by loss of appe te, restlessness during sleep, lrrita .aty and a dozen and one similar evi lences of physical disorder. At the first sign of such d'sorflpr sivo :ne child a teaspoonful of Dr. C iwell's 3"rup Pepsin at ninht on ret..ni,r and repeat the dose the following night if necessary more than that will scarcely be needed. You will find that the child will recover Its accustomed good spirits at once and will eat and sleep normally. This remedy is a vast improvement over salts, cathartics, laxative waters and similar things, which are altogether measures as will surpress dis ease germs, if the public health is to be conserved. The one great animating prin ciple of medicine and of sanita tion today is the prevention of disease, not the cure of it, For nearly a generation in this coun try public schools and newspa pers have been educating the people along health lines, and if what they have been told is put into effect by them influenza and kindred diseases can be stamped out on their first appearance. Upon the people rests the primal responsibility of being well and staying well. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy Mos Effectual.

As a means of conserving the forests in this country, the De partment of Agriculture is ex experimenting with wire grass as a source of supply for pulp for making paper instead of wood pulp. Wire grass, as it is com monly known in the West, grows on the Pacific slope and in West ern Mexico. Ir forms a dense mat of roots and yields in fertile ' soils sometimes as high as three tons of grass. It is fibrous and tough and can be reduced by the soda process. The use of the "nog," by which wood is re- duced to pulp, is entirely done avvay with. The paper manufactured from the stock has proven as satis- factory, in physical tests, as a first grade, machine-finished printing paper. It has, more over, a very satisfactory appear ance and feeling. For bleaching however, the experiments showed that more bleaching powder was required than with poplar stock. It has been estimated that the growth of wood in the United States is being removed at the rate of 36 cubic ' feet per acre each year, while the natural in- crease is at the rate of 12 cubic too powerful for a child.
